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

This idea was opposed by everyone except the fourth brother.

In order to help her escape, her fourth brother was even beaten by their father until his back was covered in blood and flesh, and several rattan canes were broken.

"I'd rather die than go to the palace!"

Qi Yitang cried and screamed, "Father, are you trying to force your daughter to her death?!"

She still remembers that time when her father stood in the ancestral hall and ordered her to kneel before the ancestors, his face as somber as a block of iron.

"Thunder and rain are both the Emperor's grace... Tangtang, you have grown up and can no longer act recklessly as you please."

She was so focused on resenting her father's rigidity that she overlooked the deep pain hidden in his eyes.

Yes, my father was just a tutor. Although he had the privilege of teaching the princes, he dared not disobey the emperor's orders.

Do you even want the heads of all those people in the manor?

Besides, with Xie Jingyu's lofty ambitions and single-minded desire to become emperor, how could he possibly be willing to live a simple life with her?

Even if Xie Jingyu is reliable, the whole world belongs to the king, so where could she elope to?

The past is too painful to recall, even now...

Well, it feels a bit awkward.

Qi Yitang paced around the doorway like a headless fly, still unsure whether to step in with her left or right foot first.

[What is the female supporting character doing? If she needs to pee, she should go to the toilet. Don't poop here.]

[Seriously, why can we only see it from the perspective of the villainous female supporting character? I just want to see my precious daughter!]

[Rubbing my hands together excitedly, I'm about to see my baby girl!]

"Don't worry, Grand Tutor will be perfectly fine."

Xie Ling reached out and tidied her wind-blown hair, then took her hand. "I'll go in with you."

The burning heat from her palm gave Qi Yitang a silent boost of confidence.

It's okay, it's okay! It's not that everyone doesn't think highly of her, because she really doesn't live up to expectations.

……

With the emperor himself arriving, the entire household naturally waited in trepidation.

As soon as the two entered, everyone knelt down and bowed in unison, saying, "Your humble servant/wife... greets Your Majesty and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."

Xie Ling showed no airs of an emperor whatsoever, and even personally stepped forward to help Grand Tutor Qi.

"Grand Tutor, please rise. You are my father-in-law, and you are currently unwell, so these formalities are unnecessary."

Grand Tutor Qi was flattered but dared not be presumptuous. "It's just a long-standing ailment that will be fine after a few days of rest. I'm sorry to trouble Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his hand. "Li Degui."

The attending eunuch immediately presented the items, along with a royal physician carrying a medicine box.

Li Degui introduced, "This is Physician Liu. His Majesty has ordered that Physician Liu stay in the mansion to serve you until you have fully recovered."

Ordinary officials would never receive such an honor, and Grand Tutor Qi was extremely grateful.

Suddenly, the emperor said, "Tangtang was very worried when she heard that you were unwell."

Grand Tutor Qi was slightly taken aback, and then all eyes in the courtyard fell on Qi Yitang.

"..." Qi Yitang opened her mouth, but the words she had repeatedly rehearsed on the way suddenly choked in her throat.

She had originally thought that if she came back and acted spoiled with her parents, all the previous troubles would be forgotten.

But when it came to the crucial moment, it was as if his mouth was glued shut, and he couldn't open it no matter what.

Her gaze swept over her family members, who were both familiar and unfamiliar. In the storybook, because she was obsessed with the male protagonist, she did all sorts of despicable things, resulting in the death of the entire family.

Upon seeing the few strands of silver hair at Grand Tutor Qi's temples, Qi Yitang felt a lump in her throat and murmured, "Father..."

Grand Tutor Qi stared blankly.

Two years later, my once bright, outgoing, and somewhat dim-witted daughter has grown up and become more mature.

Qi Yitang was the youngest daughter of Lady Qi, who was over thirty years old.

Lady Qi's real name was Ning Wanrong. Although her name was gentle, she was a true daughter of a military family, and her behavior was far from gentle.

She fell in love with the young Qi Wenyuan at first sight, and after their marriage, the two did nothing but have children.

She gave birth to three sons in a row. She originally thought the fourth child would be a daughter, but it turned out to be a boy.

Qi Wenyuan had already given up; perhaps he was destined not to have a daughter.

But Ning Wanrong refused to believe it and angrily slammed her hand on the table.

regeneration!

That's how our precious little baby came to be.

Qi Yitang lived up to everyone's expectations, focusing all her skills on beauty. When she was a child, if you took her out for a walk, you would always come back with a bunch of lipstick marks on her face from her aunts.

Qi Wenyuan still remembers that fair and tender little dumpling riding on his neck, swaying its two little tufts.

"Father, what is a husband? Can you eat him?"

The three-year-old girl can't read a single word, but her little head is full of questions.

Qi Wenyuan replied with a smile, "My husband is someone who will accompany Tangtang for the rest of his life, loving and protecting you."

Qi Yitang shook her head, "Can't Father be my husband?"

"Father is Mother's husband, and when our Tangtang grows up, she will have her own husband..."

Even as a child, Qi Yitang's face was so deceptive that no one noticed that the child was actually quite clever...

Spoiled and willful, outspoken and unrestrained, he "rules the game" at home, getting whatever he wants without a shred of cunning.

She possesses both cunning and beauty, and the ability to use her skills is also combined with her beauty.

Qi Wenyuan had also wondered why his sons, though not outstanding individuals, were decent and passable.

Why is Tang'er the only exception? She's so heartless.

I caught a glimpse of the lady wielding a red-tasseled spear in the courtyard, displaying incredible strength and imposing presence, and then I saw the little guy clapping his hands like a seal next to her.

Qi Wenyuan remained silent... Well, the case is solved.

He had always thought that he and his wife would watch their daughter grow up, find a good husband, and live a peaceful and happy life together.

Unexpectedly, an imperial decree forced his tearful daughter to enter the palace and become a concubine of the emperor.

Tangtang and he eventually drifted apart...

……

Seeing that everyone was hesitant to speak, Xie Ling took the initiative to speak.

"Tangtang, you talk to your mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I will go to the front hall with my father-in-law."

Grand Tutor Qi, realizing his rudeness, led the emperor to the front hall, saying, "Your Majesty, this way please."

After the men left, only the women remained, along with the fourth brother, Qi Jiyun, who was always surrounded by women and couldn't distinguish between men and women.

Ning Wanrong opened her arms wide. "What? Aren't you going to come and let your mother hug you?"

A lump formed in her throat, tears welled up, and Qi Yitang felt her vision blur.

She threw herself into Ning Wanrong's arms, burying her head in her chest just like she did when she was a child, "Mother..."

Ning Wanrong patted Qi Yitang's head, her tone full of disdain, "Why have you become so bookish? Mother, huh? When did your mother ever use that title?"

[…Very good, now we finally know who the female supporting character inherited her intelligence from.]

[The female supporting character's mother must be at least 1.8 meters tall; she's incredibly strong, tall, and imposing—truly astonishing.]

[A powerful female lead, that's great.]

"..." Qi Yitang's sadness dissipated by more than half.

Qi Jiyun, standing to the side, waved his folding fan and laughed, "That's good. His Majesty doesn't have an Empress, and Consort Tangtang is second only to the Emperor, so she naturally has to be more composed."

"Fourth Brother..." Upon seeing the living Qi Jiyun, Qi Yitang's tears welled up again.

That's good. Fourth Brother is still doing well and hasn't been framed or contracted venereal disease.

Just then, a soft, clear female voice came from the side, "Tangtang, will you be staying at home for a few days this time?"

The one speaking was Ning Nishang, the female protagonist of this story.
