There were such a group of people living in the Imperial Harem: Empress Dowager, grasping great power in her hand and observing others in the Imperial Harem indifferently; Queen Mother Ji, the late Emperor’s first wife, focusing on supporting her relatives to grab powers in the imperial court; Queen Mother Yuan, legal mother of the Emperor, being patient and cautious all the time and bearing various plots in her mind; Queen Mother Qu, the Emperor’s biological mother, living a secluded life with nobody knowing her thoughts; the nominal Emperor, with no real power in his hand; and Consorts and Concubines sharing different backgrounds gathering in the Imperial Harem. Among them, Yun Fenghuang was nothing but a powerless one with no family background. Joining the Imperial Harem as a little Bao Lin at the beginning, was she able to survive to the end? Would the Emperor be willing to govern the country nominally?With so many powerful women and resourceful weak ones in this place, you could expect nothing but unheard treacherous living stories like intrigues, plots, frauds, and conspiracies. Go find out the details.

Chapter 1 Self-cultivation of a sweet girl

In the early spring of the 7th year of Chunjia Period, the Empress Dowager worried that the Emperor had no offspring, so she ordered Yousi Department to select some girls from good families, and also cordially invited some ladies from rich families to enrich the Imperial Harem.

Chapter 2 How about hanging?

Ms. Xie cried for several hours in front of Xie Fenghuang. Xie Fenghuang couldn’t stop her, so she almost wanted to cry with her aunt!In the end, her cousins returned from the banquet, and rushed to persuade Ms. Xie to stop crying before she went to the backroom.“Sis, this situation...” Ms. Lan, the wife of Xie Fenghuang’s eldest cousin, winked at other irrelevant people to go away, only leaving a few sisters-in-law to join her, apologizing to Xie Fenghuang. According to them, Yun Ju, their father-in-law, didn’t mean to do harm to Xie Fenghuang. Because of him, however, Xie Fenghuang had to join the Imperial Harem in the end. They felt guilty about this, so they begged her for mercy for the sake of their blood relationship.The apology was half sincere to some extent. On the one hand, Xie Fenghuang was only their cousin, but she got along well with them and played an important role to balance and perfect their relationship with their mother-i

Chapter 3 SSS-level start

When it was still dark, Xie Fenghuang... No, Yun Fenghuang got up and dressed up according to the rules. She then said goodbye to Yun Ju and his wife, getting in the cart with Nian Xuan to the palace.Xiu Fu returned to the palace to report to Noble Consort Shu in the previous day, so Yun Fenghuang was relaxed. But after they met other noble ladies at the gate of the palace and saw the majestic palace walls and serious guarded men from the shaky curtain, Nian Xuan became silent, and Yun Fenghuang also felt a little nervous.Ever since Yun Fenghuang saw Xie Fenghuan being sunk into the river, she had rarely felt nervous.The cart ran over the palace bricks, and the four sides of the cart were covered with cyan cloth. The hairpins shined occasionally from the gap. Keeping the rules in mind, no one dared to speak. The convoy drove along the aisle for a long time before it finally stopped. After a while, a eunuch with a slightly sharp voice in the

Chapter 4 What kind of operation was this???

Although Emperor Chunjia had been on the throne for eight years, he had not yet taken over the imperial affairs personally. In addition to spending time in the Imperial Harem every day, he only went to the Imperial Study, listening to lectures given by some great scholars who were appointed by the Empress Dowager.Maybe for this reason, he seemed not grave or peremptory, with long eyebrows and bright eyes, full of modest. He was like a jade. For the noble ladies who entered the palace, he attended the fete in the Ancestral Temple for having children, and he came here directly after that, wearing the imperial robe and crown of the emperor. Without his exquisite clothes, he was more like a rich man full of knowledge.“Lianniang.” The Emperor was slightly surprised when he saw the messy scene right after he entered the palace, “What’s happening?”Consort Yue’s infant name was Lianniang. Since she joined the Imperial Harem, only Queen Mother Yuan a

Chapter 5 A bitch was always trying to harm me!

The next morning, Consort Yue led several low-grade concubines other than Yun Fenghuang to Yan Fu Palace to pay their respects. Before she asked for leave for the new Bao Lin, Noble Consort Shu had already asked where her sister was.“She got a cold for falling into the water yesterday and couldn’t get up this morning.” Consort Yue gave her a slanting glance and smiled lightly, “Sis, you know me. If it is someone else, I will be absolutely reluctant. After all, for a new Bao Lin who just joined the Imperial Harem, how could she miss seeing the Queen Mother and the Empress? But since she is your younger sister, I could not make you embarrassed, could I? So, I allowed her request.”These words mostly made it clear that Yun Fenghuang was indulgent and self-willed, and since she thought that she was the sister of Noble Consort Shu, she neglected to see the Empress... Well, rounding it up, it also showed that Noble Consort Shu was not so respectful to the Empres

Chapter 6 Queen Mothers of Honor, Mercy, and Deity

Yun Qingman thought that Noble Consort Shu’s words were too harsh. She felt so sorry for Yun Fenghuang because Duke Yi made her join the Imperial Harem without her permission. At this moment, she was afraid that Yun Fenghuang would feel embarrassed, so she pulled Noble Consort Shu’s sleeve secretly, saying in a low voice, “Sister!”“Do you think that Queen Mother Ji is as accessible as me?” Noble Consort Shu gave her a disdainful look, but her tone softened. Before she was about to say a few soft words, Yun Fenghuang said directly, “It’s true I fell into the water, but no one pushed me.”“What?” Yun Qingman broadened her eyes and said, “Fenghuang, you dare...” Dared to frame a consort in public, the hostess of the palace she lived!Although Yun Qingman knew Yun Fenghuang was quite bold, she couldn’t help taking a cold breath to hear this!Not only Yun Qingman, Noble Consort Shu also frowned slightly, and said, “You are quite bold,

Chapter 7 Treacherous living in the Imperial Harem

Hearing this, Noble Consort Shu froze for a moment, but Yun Qingman immediately agreed, “Yes, sister. You said yesterday that Fenghuang is different from other concubines, because the Empress Dowager personally issued the imperial decree to cordially invite her to join the Imperial Harem. So, Consort Yue must dare not hurt her. But the current situation is: Consort Yue is narrow-minded, and Fenghuang is unfortunately involved in the fight between the two groups. One is Queen Mother Ji and the Empress, the other is Queen Mother Yuan and her niece Consort Yue. What will Fenghuang’s future be if she can’t leave Hu Zhu Palace?”“... Let’s go back to Tong Xia Palace first.” Noble Consort Shu glared at Yun Qingman reluctantly. She then took a deep breath and berated her in a low voice, “Consort Yue is the hostess of Hu Zhu Palace. It’s okay for me, a Noble Consort, to privately judge her, but not for you, a Mei Ren to do the same thing. I have told you the Imperial Harem is n

Chapter 8 Aggrieved Bao Lin Yun

Yun Fenghuang thought for a moment, looked up and asked, “Although My Lady can’t get me out of Hu Zhu Palace now, what about later in the future?”“If there is a chance in the future, I will get you out. I surely don’t want my aunt and Qingman to be sad.” Noble Consort Shu looked at her with appreciation and her tone softened, “Although you are not the daughter of Yun’s Family, you are my aunt’s niece, which makes you my cousin. We are relatives. I don’t want to make things difficult for you if I could.”“My Lady,” Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang felt like being in relief inwardly and was more daring. She asked tentatively with bright eyes, “Although Hu Zhu Palace seems to be a dangerous place, Consort Yue is not a forgiving and kind person, and I offended her greatly now... Now that you are willing to tell me the truth in detail, My Lady, does that mean I still have a chance to live?”Otherwise, she had no need to tell these things to a person doo

Chapter 9 Sleeping with the Emperor

Yun Fenghuang gave a reward to the little eunuch who passed on the message, and awarded some silver to the inferior maids who came to congratulate her and the eunuchs who ran errands. After that, she urged Nian Xuan to serve her to bathe, dress and make up.Although she knew that Emperor Chunjia might be unwilling to name her to sleep with him...However, every man loved beauties. Even if the Emperor might be unhappy to come over, he might relent after seeing her so beautiful.She was very confident in her appearance!In addition, the Imperial Harem had the hidden rules that the low-grade concubines would be advanced after they slept with the Emperor. However, Yun Fenghuang had only seen Emperor Chunjia once, and was not clear about his character. What should she do if he deliberately found her fault, blamed her in the name of misconduct and bad service, and then demoted her grade and expelled her out of Hu Zhu Palace?

Chapter 10 It felt great to be the one in charge

Since Consort Yue, the hostess of Hu Zhu Palace, was still grounded, Yun Fenghuang went to Tong Xia Palace with Nian Xuan after dressing up.“Be careful later.” Noble Consort Shu let her in right after hearing the reporting, enjoining her while dressing, “The Empress has planned and informed Mei Ren Xue, the one lives in Zhao Yuan Ji’s palace, to be the first one among all of you to sleep with My Majesty. However, the Emperor suddenly said that he was going to see you. I don’t know about Mei Ren Xue’s temper since she is new here. However, the hostess of her palace is tough.”If Mei Ren Xue (Ms. Xue) was an ordinary person, Zhao Yuan Ji might not be so concerned about her. While Ms. Xue, who got the title of Mei Ren firstly like Yun Qingman, was not ordinary. Her father and brother were prominent. Moreover, she was Zhao Yuan Ji’s cousin. There was a big chance that she would stand up for Ms. Xue.Yun Fenghuang was aggrieved, “I didn’t expect My
