"Fuqiu, I have treated you well, why are you so ungrateful and shameless to seduce the emperor?" Jia Yuanchun asked angrily.

Fuqiu took off her palace maid's attire and put on an exquisite and gorgeous dress. She wore gorgeous hairpins, rings and jade ornaments on her head and body. Although her appearance was not grand enough, she looked fresh in this outfit.

The Emperor has summoned her to sleep with him every night these days, and has taken away a lot of Jia Yuanchun's favor. Now all the concubines in the palace whose favor has been taken away by Jia Yuanchun are laughing at her openly or secretly, and they have allowed the maid beside them to step on their heads and get to the position.

Fuqiu ignored Jia Yuanchun's words. Without even raising her head, she carefully examined her hands painted with delicate nail polish. "I don't understand what you are saying, Your Majesty. You said that I was treated well by you. It's really ridiculous."

"You treated me well but threw me aside after you gained power?"

"Treating you well means that you allow others to insult and laugh at you, and let them bully you at will?"

"Your Highness, you speak so easily. If I am ungrateful, then what am I? Have you forgotten who protected you when you first entered the palace, and who rushed to help you with your work? You don't remember. How can a high-ranking imperial concubine remember these little things?"

"You said I seduced the emperor. If you didn't seduce the emperor, how could you have become the noble concubine? Don't say that you are a pearl in the dust. That's why you have wasted many years in the palace. There are many people in the palace who are better looking and have better family backgrounds than you. How come they are still palace maids now, and you are the concubine? Isn't it because you took advantage of that day..."

"Shut up!" Baoqin shouted at her, but fortunately there were only three of them in the hall at that time, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fuqiu looked at the sanctimonious Jia Yuanchun with sarcasm, "Your Majesty, think about it yourself, how have I wronged you to make you treat me like this."

"You said I seduced the emperor. If you were me, I would be even more heartless."

"You pretended not to see when I was being bullied. If I didn't fight back, I would be bullied to death by now."

Fuqiu now completely saw through Jia Yuanchun. All the talk about sisterly love was bullshit. She was too stupid to believe this woman's lies and stand up for her, which offended many people. Once she lost her power, how could she not be retaliated against?

Jia Yuanchun was speechless. That day outside the palace, Fuqiu said those inconsiderate words, and she knew that she could no longer keep this person around.

Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor hates such unruly slaves the most. If the emperor knew that the palace maid around him was so arrogant and unruly, wouldn't she be implicated as well?

When Jia Yuanchun returned to the palace, she ordered that Fuqiu was no longer allowed to follow her and that she should remain in her palace and do some idle work. Unexpectedly, this would make the girl hate her.

It was indeed her fault. She had been busy with Baoyu's affairs these days and had not paid attention to her. She thought that those people below were flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, and they wanted to step on Fuqiu because she had lost her power.

Jia Yuanchun said apologetically, "It's my fault. I wanted to give you some free time, but I didn't expect you to be bullied."

Fuqiu said sarcastically, "Your Highness, your words are too kind. I don't deserve them. If Your Highness can show some mercy, I will be grateful."

Jia Yuanchun curled her lips and said, "You and I have been sisters for many years, why do we have to be so confrontational? From now on, you and I will continue to support each other like before, and later..."

"Later? What later?" Fuqiu now looked at Jia Yuanchun and found her disgusting. She was unwilling to believe a single word she said. "Your Highness used to say the same thing about the future, but you did it. I am unlucky and have a lowly fate. I dare not call you a sister, let alone talk about the future. Your Highness should keep this to deceive other people."

The two parted unhappily. Fuqiu, who was sharp-tongued and unforgiving, learned to restrain herself after this incident.

In the past, she regarded Jia Yuanchun as her lifelong confidant and friend. For Jia Yuanchun, she did not care even if she offended the whole world. But in the end, her true love was misplaced.

Fuqiu hated Jia Yuanchun deeply and wanted to oppose her everywhere, but Jia Yuanchun had no way to deal with her.

Although Jia Yuanchun was a noble concubine, she allowed Fuqiu to show off her power, which made many people very puzzled.

But only Jia Yuanchun and the other two knew the secret.

Fuqiu holds the leverage over Jia Yuanchun. Others are afraid of the Imperial Concubine, but she is not. If she is angered and the leverage is revealed, even if she is the Imperial Concubine, she will not be able to escape easily.

Jia Yuanchun was at a loss for a moment and could only allow Fuqiu to use her seductive tricks again and again to pull the emperor away from her palace.

Baoqin gritted her teeth, wishing she could eat Fuqiu alive. "This Fuqiu is too much. It's been several times. She either has a headache or a heartache. She's afraid of thunder and rain. This time it's even more excessive. She can't sleep even if the wind blows. How could she not be scared to death? And the emperor still believes it."

Jia Yuanchun sighed, "How can the emperor not see that Fuqiu is trying to win favor? It's just that she is interested in something new and he is willing to indulge her."

Baoqin said fiercely: "I just hope that the emperor will get tired of her one day, and see how she can be so proud and arrogant. She is so arrogant that she has no limit."

However, Jia Yuanchun frowned slightly and could not fall asleep for a long time. Even if the emperor got tired of Fuqiu one day, there would be many more Fuqiu.

There are so many women in the palace, so many that she feels annoyed just looking at them.

She touched her flat belly and fell into deep thought.

Baoqin saw through her thoughts and whispered to comfort her: "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. The old lady also said that Your Majesty is very lucky. In the future... it is possible."

Today, the emperor is in his prime. Although he has several princes, he does not seem to like or value them much. The position of the crown prince has been vacant for a long time. It is possible that he is waiting for the future little prince of his queen.

Baoqin sometimes thought to herself that the Jia family must be a blessed family, otherwise how could they have a daughter like their own who was born on the first day of the first lunar month, and how could they give birth to a son like Master Bao who was born with a jade in his mouth.

This is all because God is blessing the Jia family.

Even if there are some difficulties at the moment, it is just that good things come to those who wait.

However, it has been a while since Jia Yuanchun was crowned as a concubine, but there is no sign of pregnancy. How can Jia Yuanchun not be anxious?

Originally, she could still comfort herself that there was still a long way to go, but she never expected that Fuqiu would suddenly appear and almost take away all the emperor's favor. During this period, the number of times she had slept with him could be counted on one hand.

This won't work, we have to think of a solution.

Jia Yuanchun asked Baoqin to come closer to her ear and whispered a few words to her. Baoqin's face changed again and again.

“If someone finds out, it will be…” Baoqin crossed his hands in front of his neck and made a beheading gesture.
