I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

Chapter 158 Growth

Growing up is something that is easy to say but actually very difficult. When Ai Ziyi first entered the palace, she just wanted to live well with her good sisters and friends. She became a girl who loved the emperor madly after being favored. She became a disheartened concubine after being unexpectedly out of favor. Then she became a mother who was looking forward to the birth of her child. Finally, she became a revenger who lost her child. Every step was filled with blood and tears.

But after all, she grew up stumbling along, and this alone has already surpassed many of her poor peers, because most of her peers do not have the qualifications to make mistakes. They may have lost the rest of their wonderful life just by making a trivial mistake.

Who can tell whether Ai Ziyi is lucky or unlucky?

The once lively and lovely girl has now become charming and passionate, and looks even more alluring under the dim light. Her slender hands gently hold the silver pot beside her, and the fine wine slowly pours out from the mouth of the pot, as if it can intoxicate people just by looking at it.

The emperor seemed to have gone mad.

Everything that happened next was so logical. Concubine Lan suddenly went out for something, and then a daring maid took Concubine Lan's identity, had sex with the emperor, and became his woman.

The emperor had originally agreed to accompany Ai Ziyi, but by mistake he had the favor of her maid. Naturally, he felt guilty, so he quickly promoted her to Concubine Lan regardless of everyone's opposition.

If it were in the past, Ai Ziyi would probably cheer for the position of Concubine Lan and be happy for a long time, but now she doesn't care about it. She has already brought several magical instruments from outside the palace through her mother's channels.

If Wang Fuhai really dared to commit the crime, Ai Ziyi would make him taste the most painful punishment in the world to comfort the soul of the child who left the world before he was born.

The emperor was filled with guilt and spoke incoherently. Ai Ziyi naturally acted virtuous, generous, decent, yet heartbroken. But when the two separated, everyone's face showed expressionless indifference.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting. When Ai Ziyi was perfunctorily treating the emperor, wasn't the emperor also perfunctorily treating Ai Ziyi?

"Send a reliable person to keep an eye on Qixiang Palace. I want to know everything that happens." The emperor casually instructed Eunuch Lu, then got on the sedan chair and returned to his place.

Time is running out, and he needs to seize the opportunity to deal with people who are more difficult to deal with.

It is obvious that in the eyes of the emperor, the most difficult person to deal with so far is Ai Ziyi's good friend Liu Zhirou.

He has even begun to regret pushing such a person into the territory of evil Buddha.

After all, unlike other young concubines who couldn't help but act up as soon as they got pregnant, Liu Zhirou seemed quite experienced and stable.

Her behavior was somewhat similar to that of Concubine Xian, but the reason why Concubine Xian was so meticulous was, to a large extent, because she had lost several children in succession and had been in the palace for many years.

Although Liu Zhirou is still very young, she shows the sophistication of a concubine who has been in the palace for many years. The beauty of youth and the steadiness that is not in line with her age together make up this contradictory and charming concubine.

If she had not conceived the child in the Cining Palace, the emperor might have been very happy about her pregnancy. After all, this proved that even if the emperor did not bother to divert most of his firepower to prepare for her, she could still keep her child with her own ability.

This is very important to the emperor and can effectively reduce the burden on his shoulders.

But a sad thing happened. There are currently three pregnant concubines in the palace. Two of them are very steady, but the emperor does not want them to give birth to children. Only Concubine Shen, whom the emperor wants to give birth to a child, behaves rashly instead. She is either worried all day long or can't help showing off herself.

If one does not return to his hometown when he is rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night in fine clothes. The emperor could understand her thoughts, but he was still very annoyed. For this, the emperor even scolded her twice. However, a light beating would not make Concubine Shen remember the lesson. If he scolded her severely, it might affect her mood and cause more serious consequences.

After all, Concubine Shen did not show any special talents or abilities that were different from ordinary people, nor did she show a good character. Compared with her old master, Concubine Chun, she looked more like a lucky vase that was supported by others.

But it was also because of this that Concubine Chun became increasingly difficult to deal with after she got close to the Empress Dowager.
