Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 305 The female protagonist ascends to the position of Empress Dowager through her son.

Jiang He glanced at Xu Ruyi, her thoughts written all over her face.

"Consort Xu, are you dissatisfied with me? The expression on your face makes me think you're not convinced by me."

Upon hearing the Empress's words, Xu Ruyi immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I did not, I did not."

The Empress is the head of the harem and a model of virtue for the nation.

Your Majesty, I only admire you. How could I possibly disobey you?

"This is my first time meeting Your Majesty the Empress, and I'm extremely nervous."

Xu Ruyi knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, her face filled with terror.

Consort Wang looked at Xu Ruyi's trembling appearance.

The Empress is deliberately trying to intimidate Xu Ruyi by giving her a warning.

That damn woman, she'll make her pay.

Xu Ruyi is now on her side.

Consort Wang naturally wouldn't ignore it.

"Your Majesty, it's the first time the new brides are meeting, so let's not scare them. Otherwise, they might think my sister is some kind of difficult person to get along with."

Her Majesty the Empress is kind, so you don't need to worry or be too nervous. From now on, we're all sisters, so let's just get along peacefully.

Jiang He looked at Consort Wang.

"I didn't realize that Consort Gui was so concerned about the newcomers. It seems that entrusting the selection of concubines to Consort Gui has allowed her to make several new friends."

"Her Majesty the Empress entrusted this matter to you, so naturally you must handle it well. All those who enter the palace are here to serve the Emperor; we are all sisters."

Consort Wang maintained a smile on her face.

"Alright, stop kneeling and get up. But you'll need to work on your courage. If you're this nervous in front of me, what will you do when facing the Emperor?"

To be disrespectful to the Emperor and incur his displeasure would be a grave offense.

Xu Ruyi had just stood up when she heard these words and immediately kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your guidance."

That was quite a fall; Xu Ruyi could hear the sound of her knee hitting the ground. It must be red and swollen by now.

However, he couldn't ignore the Empress's words; not only did he have to reply, but he also had to answer quickly. He could only grit his teeth and speak each word carefully.

"Alright, alright, didn't I tell you to get up? Why do you keep kneeling?"

The Empress remained silent, but Consort Wang began to speak.

Consort Wang felt that the Empress had deliberately targeted Xu Ruyi and her.

Therefore, Consort Wang approached the young women sent to the palace by the Jiang family.

"Which one of you is Consort Jiang?"

"Your Majesty, I have the honor of meeting you."

The girl standing behind Xu Ruyi bowed.

"Consort Jiang and Her Majesty the Empress do indeed resemble each other quite a bit."

Consort Wang sized up Consort Jiang.

Compared to Xu Ruyi, Consort Jiang's face appeared dull and lackluster.

Or rather, everyone's face seemed ordinary.

including herself.

Consort Wang was jealous and resentful of Xu Ruyi's face, which was even more beautiful than her own.

However, Consort Wang felt a sense of closeness to Xu Ruyi and thought she was very pitiful.

Even Consort Wang couldn't bear to see her suffer.

Consort Wang could only attribute this feeling to the fact that Xu Ruyi was someone she had placed under her wing.

The Empress's bullying of Xu Ruyi is a slap in the face to her.

She defended Xu Ruyi because she was protecting her own reputation.

She was going to use Consort Jiang to say a few words to criticize the Empress.

"Consort Jiang is my younger sister, so naturally we do look somewhat alike. Come, sit down next to me. I haven't seen you in a long time. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much. Let me take a good look at you."

Jiang He could tell that Consort Wang was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, forcing Consort Jiang to kneel as punishment.

Jiang He immediately woke the person up and made them sit down next to her.

This also lets everyone know that Consort Jiang is her younger sister, someone she protects, and that anyone who wants to bully her should think twice before doing so.

Consort Wang gritted her teeth as she looked at the two sisters above, who were showing such deep affection for each other.

The Empress is as annoying as ever.

I also randomly named a few other people and gave them a dressing down, which helped me vent my anger.

Jiang He said a few more words before ending the meeting.

One by one, everyone left.

Xu Ruyi slowly moved outside.

Sure enough, the knee was injured.

He can't even walk normally.

Xu Ruyi really wanted to see how her knee was doing right away.

But then I thought about how this was the Empress's territory, and there were so many people here.

If she really does that, she's finished.

If the emperor were to arrive at this moment, that would be perfect.

When the Emperor saw how pitiful she was, he would immediately pick her up and take her away amidst the envious gazes of the other concubines.

Then the imperial physician was summoned to examine her injuries.

When the emperor discovered how serious her injuries were, he angrily asked what had happened.

She told the Emperor that it was not actually the Empress's fault, but that her skin was too delicate and even a small injury looked frightening.

The Emperor might even go to the Empress to seek justice for her.

Then he gave her many gifts and comforted her.

From then on, she became the emperor's favorite concubine.

Of course, this was all just her imagination.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Since the emperor did not appear, Xu Ruyi had no choice but to drag her injured leg out on her own.

Thinking about having to walk back to the palace, Xu Ruyi couldn't help but complain: Why are the palaces in this royal palace so big? Why are the roads so long? Why is the floor so hard?

"Lady Xu, please wait a moment."

Just as Xu Ruyi finally managed to move outside, she was stopped by Aunt Chuntao, who was by the Empress's side.

"Aunt Chuntao, does Her Majesty the Empress have any instructions?"

Xu Ruyi looked at Aunt Chuntao nervously. Could it be that she felt she hadn't tormented her enough just now, so she wanted to make things difficult for her again?

Consort Wang is right, the Empress is really hard to get along with, she's like a crazy woman.

The Empress's eldest son died young, and since then, the Empress has been mentally unstable.

She's so pitiful. She's been targeted by a crazy woman. How can she possibly have a good life from now on?

Xu Ruyi decided to go see Consort Wang later.

Only Consort Wang can save her.

Xu Ruyi knew that her goal was to bring down the Empress.

But she wasn't ready yet.

Has the palace intrigue started so quickly?

Xu Ruyi's first goal was to win the emperor's favor.

Then she became pregnant with the emperor's son.

During her pregnancy, she sought the protection of Consort Wang.

Consort Wang's child was killed by the Empress while still in her womb.

Therefore, Consort Wang was particularly empathetic towards pregnant concubines and was willing to lend a helping hand.

Although Consort Wang did her best to protect her, the Empress was truly ruthless and could not tolerate even one child.

However, she also has a child-rearing system. With the dual protection of the system and Consort Wang, she will definitely be able to give birth to a prince for the Emperor.

As long as the only prince is her son, she can have the emperor directly present her with the position of empress.
