Threats? + Conspiracy (First push for collection)
Upon hearing the palace maid's words, the Empress's footsteps faltered and her face showed some panic. Your Majesty, does he really like Consort Rong?
Not only the queen, but also the three concubines left in the harem, upon hearing this, their original intention of watching a show completely disappeared. Now, they truly realized that Consort Rong was not to be underestimated.
Two days in the palace, from a first-rank consort to a first-rank imperial noble consort, this is quite a speed.
In the Yunjin Palace, after Ye Chuchu finished beating up Zhao Nianiang and sent her back to the Empress's palace, she heard a system notification that her task progress had increased by 20%, changing it to 30%. At this time, she knew that the Emperor was very satisfied with her behavior.
Immediately after being sealed as a noble concubine by imperial decree, she knew she had done the right thing.
"By imperial decree, Rong Fei's beauty is unparalleled, her temperament is warm and gentle. She is appointed as a first-rank consort, with the title of Yuan, and will reside in the Zichen Palace. I hope that Consort Yuan will understand my intentions."
Ye Chuchu hooked her lips and guessed the emperor's intention. Was she reminding herself not to change her mind because of favoritism? Hehe, the emperor really had too many things on his mind.
But Zi Chen Palace, where the emperor's most favored concubine resides, is the emperor going to push her to the forefront of the storm?
The beauties of the harem? Hurry up and take action! What's her next move?
Because she needs to go through a formal enthronement ceremony, Ye Chuchu's status as a noble consort is considered legitimate, so that night, the enthronement ceremony will be held in the Empress Palace.
The queen looked at the bright imperial concubine's dress, her eyes full of malice, "Liuzhu, you know what to do?"
"...it is." The palace maid said with a trembling voice, for her family, she had to compromise.
Inside Yunjin Palace
"New Task: Seize the Queen's Harem Authority; Reward: Mid-grade Teleportation Spirit Tool, Movement Range 500 meters."
As soon as the system's task was released, Ye Chuchu's eyes lit up, and she really got what she wanted. With this spiritual instrument, she could come and go freely in the palace without being discovered by anyone.
"Niang niang, the empress has sent over the noble consort's ceremonial attire." Lu Lan called out from outside.
"Bring it in!" Ye Chuchu responded, at this time she was thinking about how to seize the power from the Empress's hands.
As long as she can come up with a good plan, I believe the emperor will also support her.
Luolan came in with a respectful and reverent attitude, holding a dress.
Looking at the bright yellow accessories on top, Ye Chuchu's slender fingers slowly brushed over the clothes and then took them out.
The workmanship of this mortal's clothes is indeed exquisite, and upon seeing such attire, Ye Chuchu couldn't help but inwardly praise it.
Only
Ye Chuchu's mouth corners slightly hooked, finally found a way to seize power.
"Rouran, starting now until tonight, no one is allowed to disturb me." The current Ye Chuchu had calculated that the emperor would not come looking for her. As for others, sorry, she decided to sneak out of the palace first. These past few days, she hadn't gone to Tianyou Pavilion and hadn't replenished her spiritual energy with ling stones. Her days were passing somewhat dull, so she decided to personally go out and find some original stones to bring back.
Heavenly Loft
Su Qingge was leisurely watching the bidding below, all of which were original stones identified by Ye Chuchu. Among them, only three of the ten below contained original stones. In these few days, using this method, Tian Youge's reputation in the original stone world became even greater, and he also made a lot of money.
Thinking of Ye Chuchu, Su Qingge's eyebrows tightened again. No news for four days? Had she left the capital?
Su Qingge is now most afraid that Ye Chuchu will be poached by others, which would be a devastating blow to his industry.
If Ye Chuchu is not useful to him, then he will not let him have a reason to exist in the world.
Su Qingge's mind flashed with these thoughts, but she didn't know that Ye Chuchu had heard them all.
Ye Chuchu hooked up the corner of her mouth on the rooftop, it seemed that the first Mind-Reading Symbol was worth using.
From Su Qingge, Ye Chuchu learned about the whole origin of the Yuanshi market.
It turned out that the raw stone from Su Qingge was not actually freshly excavated.
The right to excavate the raw ore was firmly grasped in the hands of Emperor's younger brother, Ning Wangye. Su Qingge's industry was directly linked to the emperor and Ning Wang, with sixty percent of the wealth obtained belonging to the emperor.
No wonder, that day she saw Su Qingge buying and selling before actually finding someone to appraise.
In that case, perhaps the uncut jade in Su Qing's hands is not the best, and the top-grade spiritual jade has always been what she yearned for. So, should she take a different path?
She put these ideas aside for now, what she needs to do is to get the Ling Stone back to the palace first. After seizing the imperial power from the Empress and obtaining the Instant Teleportation Spirit Tool, she will make other plans.
Just after auctioning off a batch of raw stones, Su Qingge received news that Ye Chuchu was coming to his doorstep.
"I don't know, Brother Chu, where have you been these past few days?" Su Qingge narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing towards Ye Chuchu.
"There's something at home, I'll just go back and deal with it." Ye Chuchu said calmly.
"Which direction does Brother Chu's family live in?" Su Qing Ge asked.
"It's a family matter at home, it's inconvenient to tell you." Ye Chuchu remained calm as usual.
"...Su Qingge slightly narrowed her eyes and sized up Ye Chuchu for a moment, before saying, "You've come today, what's the matter?"
"I want a batch of uncut jade, I will return all of them in a few days," said Ye Chuchu.
"What for?" Su Qingge retorted, "This is no small sum."
"I think my ability to appraise raw jade is of great interest to many people, such as the current emperor?" Ye Chuchu looked straight into Su Qingge's eyes. "Besides, didn't I just sell you a piece of jade? You should have enough to use for now."
After hearing Ye Chuchu's words, a dangerous glint flashed in Su Qingge's eyes. This was a threat to him. Good, good, it had been a long time since he'd been threatened.
Today is the first time in so many years, and it's not just that, this threat, damn it, is effective.
As a result, Ye Chuchu returned with a full load!
……
Night
Inside the palace, lanterns hang in thousands, the Empress's Chao Feng Palace shines like daylight, with maids and eunuchs coming and going.
Tonight's banquet, the emperor, in order to show his importance, specially ordered officials above the third rank to bring their families. When the empress heard this news, her face turned black with anger, but she also brought a hint of pride.
Tonight, she wants Ye Chuchu to lose both her body and reputation.
At this time, the protagonist of her words was in the palace, concentrating on his cultivation!
