I Reaped the Benifits Chapter 8

The position of the harem is based on one's origin. Nowadays, martial arts are respected in the world, and the noble families are divided into two major forces: the Sword Alliance and the Qi Sect. The factions in the harem are also divided in this way. The queen is the daughter of the leader of the Sword Alliance, and the imperial c0ncubine is the granddaughter of the leader of the Qi Sect.

It was very rare for someone like Chang'e, who came from a humble background, to be granted the title of imperial c0ncubine right away.

"The granddaughter of the leader of the Qi Sect..." Chang'e laughed after listening to Biyu's explanation.

The Vajra Sect where her brother was, was a small sect affiliated with the Jiyang Sect. The Jiyang Sect was one of the four major sects of the Qi Sect, and the leader of the Qi Sect was the leader of these four major sects... Her origin was indeed quite low...

As they were talking, the sedan chair had already been carried to Qingyun Palace. Chang'e pulled Elliot off the sedan chair and looked up at the plaque on the door.

"How do you pronounce these three words?" When she was being rewarded just now, she was so excited that she didn't remember the name of the palace.

"Qingyun Palace." Elliot pointed at the three words and read them out word by word.

On the carved stone pillar in front of the door, there is a poem engraved: The breeze blows on my face without feeling cold, it penetrates the clouds and the moon into the fairy palace.

In this palace, many palaces have such carved stone pillars in front of their doors. The top is in the shape of a bowl, which can collect rainwater, and birds often stop on it to drink. There is also one in front of the Qingping Palace where I lived before, engraved with: Drinking clear water by the Qingshui River, singing peace in the peaceful and prosperous times.

Fu Xi said it was called the "Lan Shen Terrace", for the gods who protected the royal family to rest. Elliot did not believe that this thing could attract gods. It looked more like a bird feeder. Which god would stand on a bird stand?

Qingyun Palace is smaller than Qingping Palace, but much more exquisite. The palace is very beautiful with small bridges, flowing water, green trees and red flowers. Because she was promoted to Jieyu, in addition to the two eunuchs and two maids who served her before, she was also assigned a few eunuchs and maids who were responsible for cleaning. For the time being, there was no c0ncubine of higher status to take over this palace, so Chang'e was the owner here and could live in the main hall. She appointed the eunuch Fuyuan as the chief steward.

Fuyuan was a eunuch who came with Fuxi. He was sixteen years old, spoke very little, and had little presence on weekdays, but he was steady in his work. That day, he took Fuxi to the Internal Affairs Department and collected all the rations.

The next morning, just after daybreak, Elliot was woken up by Fuxi, and he washed, dressed, and went to pay his respects to the queen.

The c0ncubines had to go to see the queen every morning, and all the new princes and princesses who entered the palace today had to go as well. Elliot touched the prince's jade pendant with the word "Qi" engraved on his waist, and followed his mother into Fengyi Palace.

Almost all the c0ncubines were there. The imperial c0ncubine sat below the empress, supporting her chin with one hand, but smiling without saying a word. The empress did not say much, but only reprimanded the palace rules and asked the new c0ncubine to greet everyone.

"Brother..." Amu quietly tugged at the corner of Elliot's clothes.

Elliot looked back at him. The little boy seemed to be in good spirits. I thought that the princes who could not live with their mothers would be adopted by c0ncubines, but it turned out not to be the case. The princes whose mothers were not qualified to raise all lived in Chaoyang Palace. Heidan followed his mother, c0ncubine Cheng, but judging from his face, he was not as energetic as Amu.

Cheng Jieyu was still dressed in goose yellow. She was very weak because her martial arts had just been abandoned and she could not even stand steadily.

"I will set up tea in the Imperial Garden in the afternoon. If any of you are free, please go and have a seat," the Imperial c0ncubine suddenly said after leaving Fengyi Palace, "Cheng Jieyu and Chang Jieyu, you must go. I will introduce some sisters to you."

The c0ncubines who were close to the imperial c0ncubine immediately responded with a smile, and someone even joked, "Bring the Sixth and Seventh Princes along as well."

"Okay." The imperial c0ncubine looked at Elliot and Heidan with a smile.

"Yes..." c0ncubine Cheng responded weakly with a pale face.

Chang'e didn't want to go, but the situation left her no choice but to accept.

In the afternoon in the Imperial Garden, the Imperial c0ncubine set out tea and snacks in the pavilion. Five c0ncubines with a rank higher than that of Jieyushi sat beside her and chatted.

"You are all disciples of the Qi Sect, and belong to the same sect as me. If you have any difficulties in this palace in the future, just come to me," the imperial c0ncubine used her nails painted with red nails to pick up the tea in the cup, flicked it, and said slowly, "This palace is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Especially since you have children with you, it is even more difficult. Do you two understand?"

The implication is that your sects must listen to my grandfather, so you, naturally, must listen to me. Those who listen to me will have a good life, and those who don't listen to me will die.

"Yes." c0ncubine Cheng responded weakly.

Chang'e put on a smiling face and said, "I don't know anything, so I will listen to you, Madam."

"Yes," the imperial c0ncubine responded with satisfaction, beckoning Elliot over and giving him a piece of cake, "Xiao Qi is really pleasing to the eye. No wonder the emperor likes him and directly made him a c0ncubine for his mother."

"That's right, look at this little face." The purple-clothed woman sitting next to the imperial c0ncubine reached out and pinched Elliot's face.

The seemingly slender fingers were like iron clamps, tightly clamping the tender flesh on his face. Elliot immediately burst into tears and looked up at the woman who was pinching his face.

Chang'e saw that her son was hurt by the pinching and wanted to pull the child over, but was blocked by someone. "Lipin just likes to pinch children's faces, it's no big deal."

Lipin's heavily made-up eyes were fixed on Elliot's expression, and she seemed very pleased: "Oh, why does the Seventh Prince look like he's about to cry? You still have to pay your respects to the Emperor in the evening. If the Emperor sees you crying, he will be angry." Although she said so, the strength in her hands increased again and again. Her other hand touched the back of Elliot's head, and her wide sleeves blocked her view, so that people in the distance could not see what she was doing.

The technique was different from that of ordinary people. Elliot felt that the bones on his face were about to be crushed, and tears fell down his face.

"fcuk you..." Chang'e pushed away the c0ncubine who was pulling her and slapped Lipin on the back of her hand.

The "pop" sound was so loud that everyone in the pavilion was stunned. Chang'e pulled the child into her arms, looked at Elliot's face without any scars, and her heart skipped a beat. She immediately shouted: "Little ba5tard, why are you crying? Do you have any future?"

"Jieyi Chang, be careful with your words!" The imperial c0ncubine frowned and called the prince a ba5tard. Then what was the emperor?

"I'm going to see the Emperor soon. Isn't it shameful to behave like this?" Chang'e cursed loudly, apologized to the imperial c0ncubine, and took her son away, saying that she wanted to go back to change his clothes. Her clothes were all dirty from crying.

When it was almost time to see the emperor, the imperial c0ncubine did not stop him, but just glared at Lipin: "She slapped you, why were you standing there in a daze?"

"My c0ncubine...didn't react." Lipin stuttered. Just now, c0ncubine Chang took it for granted that she hit her, and started scolding her. Everything happened too fast.

Just now, he almost fainted from the pain. Elliot touched his face and couldn't speak for a long time. Chang'e was very scared and pulled him to look at him for a long time. There was no mark on his fair and tender cheek.

"Lipin loves to play tricks on people like this. She often calls some princes and princesses to her side and pinches their faces until they cry," Fuxi explained in a low voice, "but the emperor doesn't like children crying. If the emperor sees your highness crying, he will definitely be angry. Your highness should wipe away your tears quickly."

Elliot recovered and rubbed his face. This Lipin must have practiced some kind of martial arts. She looked harmless, so even if she was complained, she couldn't.

After changing his clothes, Elliot looked at his red eyes in the mirror and slowly clenched his fists. He waved his hand to stop Fuxi from applying the medicine to his eyes and got on the chariot.

The princes had to pay their respects to their mother in the morning and their father in the evening.

"Are you okay?" He met Heidan outside the Zichen Palace, and this man actually spoke to him.

Elliot's eyes were even redder now, with tears welling up in his eyes, and he looked like he was about to cry at any moment. He ignored Heidan's sudden concern and followed the older princes into the palace.

This was the first time that Elliot saw the original seven princes. However, he had no intention of getting to know these brothers at the moment. He was only focused on watching the emperor on the throne crying.

"Seventh Prince, why are you crying?" Emperor Zhenglong saw the tearful child with delicate features and was very cute. He remembered that this was Chang'e's son, so he asked.

The other princes looked at Elliot.

"You really don't have the bearing of a royal family. You're still crying at such an old age." The former seventh prince, now the ninth prince, looked at Elliot with displeasure and said in a low voice.

"Wu..." Elliot cried out with his mouth pursed, "Empress Li, she...she..."

As soon as these words came out, the other princes understood what was going on and looked at Elliot with some sympathy. Lipin's diamond finger hurt bones but not skin, there was no way to complain, even if she complained, it would be in vain.

"Pin Li? What happened to her?" Emperor Zhenglong frowned.

"She touched me!" Elliot seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to speak out loudly. His clear voice echoed throughout the entire Zichen Palace, shocking everyone. Before anyone could react, he cried out breathlessly, "My mother said that I couldn't let anyone touch that place."

"Ah..." Everyone, including Emperor Zhenglong, opened their mouths wide.

"Where did she touch you?" Emperor Zhenglong asked with difficulty.

Elliot quickly lifted the hem of his clothes and pulled off his pants, revealing a purple thigh and a slightly red vag!na.

"Huh?" The little red bird squatting on the beam of the Zichen Palace slipped from its claws and fell straight down.
