The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

I feel embarrassed for this cannon fodder supporting character; how could the plot be so dramatic?

This girl is really overestimating herself.

[It suddenly occurred to me, if the male lead's seed is strong enough to conceive on the first try, this girl would probably think she's carrying the villainous emperor's first prince, and she'd be strutting around like crazy... Ugh... I can't imagine how desperate she'd be when she finds out the truth.]

【No zuo no die. 】

[Female supporting character, please don't misunderstand! The emperor is still clean; he only gets hard with you.]

[A mouth is for speaking; if you're feeling down, just ask. If there are all sorts of misunderstandings and endless torment afterward, I'm seriously going to call the police.]

If others couldn't see the comments and didn't know the inside story, it would indeed be easy for them to witness all sorts of heart-wrenching love stories, but Qi Yitang could see everything clearly.

It's like having a God's-eye view.

Knowing this, Qi Yitang was shocked, her face showing a mixture of surprise and horror, to the point that she couldn't even manage basic facial expressions.

Last night, Qin Lianyue was with Xie Jingyu...

How did those two end up together?

"You..." Qi Yitang stammered, "Last night, you actually..."

Qin Lianyue came specifically to see Qi Yitang lose her composure. She said smugly, "Your Majesty won't be jealous of my favor, will you? Although His Majesty was drunk and confused last night, his favor towards me was genuine."

Qi Yitang managed to keep her composure, "How could that be... I am not that kind of jealous person. His Majesty's favor towards you is your blessing."

I just don't know the truth behind this "blessing," or whether she can bear it.

Did her parents know that their good daughter had brazenly cheated on the emperor?

"Consort Li has worked hard in her first attempt to win the Emperor's favor. As a Noble Consort, I naturally have to show my appreciation. Yunzhu, go to the storeroom and pick out a few nice items to reward Consort Li."

"...?"

This was completely different from what Qin Lianyue had expected.

Shouldn't Qi Yitang be in great pain because of her cousin's infidelity? How could she accept it so quickly?

Based on Qin Lianyue's understanding of Qi Yitang, she was of a despicable and vulgar nature, and would likely fly into a rage upon hearing such things, causing unrest throughout the palace.

It is only natural for emperors to favor their concubines, and no matter how much her cousin likes her, he cannot tolerate her unreasonable behavior.

If this continues, Qi Yitang will surely fall out of favor.

And then... how come she didn't get angry at all, and just let it go so easily?

That's all?

Qin Lianyue asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, you don't blame me for stealing Your Majesty's favor?"

Qi Yitang calmed herself down, barely managing to maintain her composure, and put on a sincere smile, "How could that be? Once we enter the palace, we're all sisters. It's only right that we serve His Majesty together and get along harmoniously."

Qin Lianyue felt that the chances of a sow climbing a tree were greater than the likelihood of these words coming from Qi Yitang's mouth.

Would she really be so tolerant and forgiving?

However, Qin Lianyue carefully observed Qi Yitang's facial expression and found that there was no pretense at all; she was genuinely sincere.

How boring.

"It seems Your Majesty's sincerity towards His Majesty is nothing more than this. This concubine takes her leave." Qin Lianyue chuckled and turned to leave.

Qi Yitang: "..."

No, this person came all the way here just to see her throw a tantrum.

Is it wrong for her to be a normal person? Does Qin Lianyue only feel at ease when she cries and screams and smashes cups and bowls?

it's wired.

……

Qi Yitang couldn't wait to see Xie Ling.

Although he was already being cuckolded, he still had to let Xie Ling know who the lover was, to make it clear who the cuckold was.

But when it was time for dinner, no one showed up. They only sent Li Degui to deliver a message.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report arrived half an hour ago. His Majesty is dealing with it and it will probably take a while to finish... His Majesty specifically sent me to inform Your Majesty that you should have your meal first and not wait."

So busy...

Qi Yitang asked, "Has he had dinner yet?"

"Not yet. I will order the meal to be served after His Majesty has finished discussing matters with the officials."

"In that case," Qi Yitang said, "then I will deliver the meal to His Majesty."

Such big gossip absolutely cannot wait until the next day.

"Your Majesty will surely be pleased with this intention. However, please forgive my impertinence," Li Degui said with a smile, "His Majesty is hungry and may not be able to withstand any stimulation. Perhaps... Your Majesty, you should have the kitchen prepare it, so as to save yourself the trouble of doing it yourself?"

There was no way around it; that pitch-black, culinary-dark "braised fish" had left too deep an impression on Li Degui.

He was afraid that His Majesty, amidst his busy schedule, would need to summon the imperial physician in the middle of the night.

Qi Yitang: "..."

She knows her cooking skills are terrible, so there's no need to be so critical.

However, since it was late at night, Qi Yitang naturally wouldn't cook herself. Instead, she had the small kitchen prepare a few dishes that Xie Ling liked and pack them into a food box.

"Let's go."

Upon reaching the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qi Yitang discovered—what a coincidence.

Qin Lianyue was also waiting at the door, carrying a food box as well, apparently there to offer her greetings.

"What a coincidence, the Imperial Concubine is here too?"

Qin Lianyue sneered inwardly. She thought Qi Yitang was really as calm and collected as she appeared, but it turned out she was just putting on an act. She was probably very anxious in private and was eagerly trying to curry favor with him.

But so what? It doesn't change the fact that she has already been favored.

Qi Yitang chuckled dryly, "Haha, it is quite a coincidence."

Qin Lianyue said leisurely, "However, Your Majesty's timing is rather unfortunate. His Majesty is busy with state affairs and has said he will not see any concubines."

"It's alright, I'll just wait."

As they were talking, the palace doors opened, and three or five officials filed out, bowing to Qi Yitang.

Immediately, Li Degui came out with a beaming smile, "Your Majesty, please come in. His Majesty is waiting for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Qin Lianyue's expression froze instantly.

Qi Yitang was about to go in with the food box when she suddenly took two steps back and whispered in Qin Lianyue's ear, "Ordinary concubines are naturally not allowed, but I am His Majesty's darling."

Watching Qi Yitang's smug face disappear behind the palace gate, Qin Lianyue was so angry she gritted her teeth.

What kind of heartless darling is this? Don't you have any shame in public?!

Qin Lianyue was furious and vented her anger on Li Degui, "Didn't you say my cousin was missing? How come he's here again!"

Li Degui chuckled, "Your Highness, please calm down. How could we servants possibly fathom His Majesty's intentions?"

"This servant has informed His Majesty three times, but His Majesty has said he would not see her. Perhaps it is because His Majesty has come at an inopportune time, or... the food he brought was not to His Majesty's liking."

Qin Lianyue's face turned ashen. "Return to the palace!"

So what if she's arrogant for a moment? When she gets pregnant with the prince, she'll make Qi Yitang kneel down and carry her shoes!
