Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1910: Noble Consort Wang

The beauty recounted everything that happened earlier at the Nurturing Heart Palace, word for word, to the Empress.

Upon hearing this, the Empress was so angry that her heart ached. How could Daying Chen be such a fool, not understanding how to seize an opportunity when it’s given? Coldly, she said, "Didn’t I remind you to quickly hide when you see Noble Consort Wang? She came, and you just stood there, letting her complain? Such a fool." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The beauty lowered her head, not daring to tell the Empress that the Emperor had held her in his arms, and in her moment of pride, she had forgotten to avoid. In her heart, she felt wronged; the Emperor had seemed so kind to her at that moment. Who would have known that after Noble Consort Wang arrived, he would turn his back on her?

"The Emperor promised I could lie in wait for him tonight," the beauty said, head bowed.

After hearing this, the Empress calmed down and said, "Then go back and prepare well."

In the end, she had her close nanny arrange for the palace maids to send some daily necessities to the beauty’s courtyard. After all, these concubines who were usually out of favor lived very difficult lives, having nothing that they needed. The Empress knew very well that women ignored by the Emperor only needed enough not to starve, and she couldn’t be bothered to care.

But it was different for women favored by the Emperor. The Empress was still very proactive in sending people to help them arrange their daily necessities, allowing them to live a life of luxury.

Once they fell out of favor with the Emperor again, it would return to as it was before.

The Empress was very adept at dealing with the concubines of the harem, and those from powerful families received different treatments. Under her management, everyone had always lived in peace.

"But..." The beauty hesitated.

"What now?"

"The Emperor didn’t seem very pleased. Will he still let me lie in wait for him?"

"Go back and wait!" The Empress was a bit impatient.

The beauty dared not say anything more and left Fengyang Palace.

Perhaps having guessed that the beauty was with the Empress, the Emperor did not summon her to lie in wait for him that night but went directly to spend the night at Noble Consort Wang’s chambers.

This nearly enraged the Empress to death; this damned Noble Consort Wang was always antagonizing her. This couldn’t go on; she had to find a way to get rid of her. After much thought, the Empress finally came up with a plan.

The next day, she suggested to the Emperor that since she had adopted the Second Prince under her name but hadn’t held a banquet for everyone yet, she planned to invite the ministers and their families to the palace for a celebration in the coming days. She hoped the Emperor would help select an auspicious date.

The Insect Person had vanished without a trace in the Imperial Palace, and many Imperial Guards had been sent out in the Capital in disguise to investigate, but all to no avail. The Emperor had been worried sick and frustrated for the past few days.

The scandal about the War Prince had become a joke over tea in the Capital, which had slightly lifted his spirits.

He gladly agreed to the Empress’s proposal; this period had been too oppressive, and he also needed to relax a bit. So, after some discussion, they decided on the fifth day of the ten-day period.

"Your Majesty, this concubine was ill a while back. Fortunately, Noble Consort Wang was gracious and took good care of you," the Empress said with a faint smile, appearing very elegant and poised.

"Indeed! During this time, she’s been handling the affairs of the harem, and it really has been hard on her."

"In a while, this concubine should go over and thank her."

"Of course."

"Your Majesty, this concubine takes her leave." The Empress stood up to bid farewell to the Emperor, her face still carrying a suitable smile.

The Emperor: "Hmm."

The Empress left with a few palace maids, but just as she walked out of the Emperor’s palace doors, her face turned exceedingly gloomy. In the Emperor’s eyes, was that slut Noble Consort Wang really so admirable? Even to the point where she, the dignified Empress, had to go thank a Noble Consort.
