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

Chapter 125 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today

"Chuntao, Father is going to the battlefield, and I am going to the palace. I don't know when we will see each other again. I want to make some clothes for Father. Can you help me find some different fabrics?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Chuntao quickly found several bolts of fabric.

Jiang He selected a few types and then asked Chun Tao to lead people to quickly make the clothes.

He then took the group outside for a stroll and bought some things.

Then I just stayed quietly in the room.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chuntao also led the people to rush out and finish making the clothes.

Jiang He took these clothes and went to find Jiang Yun.

"Father, your daughter is here."

"He'er is here, come in."

Jiang Yun was reading a book in the study.

"Father, I asked Chuntao to make some clothes for you. This one is made by my own hand. I hope you won't find it offensive."

Jiang He held the topmost garment, which was a Buddhist robe.

She said she made it herself, and that her father would definitely wear this dress often.

"Alright, alright, He'er made it for Daddy. Daddy loves it so much, how could he dislike it?"

Jiang Yun accepted it with great care. His daughter had made him clothes, and he would wear them every day.

This is the first time his daughter has made clothes for him.

He'er is about to enter the palace, so this can only be the one and only.

Although the original owner was the daughter of a great general, she was also skilled in needlework.

Chun Tao assumed that the young lady had been busy making clothes for the master for the past three days.

What they make is naturally different from what the young lady makes herself.

This dress is clearly the young lady who put a lot of thought into it; it's not one of those cheap, cheap clothes you usually make to fool people.

Jiang He picked up another box, which contained defensive magical artifacts.

One is a jade pendant, and the other is a jade hairpin.

The other box contained a piece of gold-threaded soft armor.

This is what Jiang He saw while browsing a weapon shop.

The shopkeeper said it was the shop's prized possession, made of gold thread, and cost her one hundred taels of gold.

There's one last box.

It is a sword.

This sword wasn't bought by Jiang He from a weapon shop; it was from her own collection.

It is a truly excellent weapon that can cut through iron like mud and is as sharp as a hair.

Jiang Yun picked up the sword; it was a fine sword.

"He'er, where did you get this sword?"

"Dad, I bought this sword at the weapon shop. Is it good?"

"Good, it's a good sword."

"You don't know, this sword and this gold-threaded soft armor have cost my daughter all her money."

The shopkeeper said it was the shop's prized possession, and that it was unique.

If Dad says it's not good, I'll have to go and settle accounts with that shopkeeper.

"He'er, your money is for you to use after you enter the palace, why did you spend it all on your father?"

Jiang Yun disagreed.

"It's alright, Father, I have plenty of money. The Emperor has bestowed so many gifts upon me, what do I lack?"

"Then you should keep some money for yourself."

Jiang Yun summoned the steward and ordered him to prepare one thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold for Jiang He.

He'er is going to enter the palace, and it will cost money to bribe officials and embezzlers.

Spend some money to make life more comfortable.

Father just opened his mouth and said a thousand taels of gold. Hmm, General Jiang is really rich and powerful.

No wonder the emperor was so wary of his father.

They couldn't give her any more money or power, so they had no choice but to marry her daughter.

She was even granted the title of Imperial Concubine to demonstrate the Emperor's high regard for her.

Before leaving, Jiang Yun sent his steward to the weapon shop and bought all the weapons in the shop.

However, the weapons we bought weren't very good. It's already quite rare to find even one weapon of the shop's prized possession.

Jiang He entered the palace and was assigned to the Fengzao Palace.

"Your Highness, this Fengzao Palace was specially ordered by His Majesty to be prepared, and only Your Highness resides there."

Moreover, this is the palace closest to His Majesty's Qianlong Palace.

The Emperor holds the Imperial Concubine in extremely high regard.

Li Defu, the eunuch who served the emperor, came to welcome Jiang He into the palace and personally escorted her to Fengzao Palace.

Being closest to the Emperor, presumably to make it easier to keep an eye on her.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li. I wonder if His Majesty is busy right now? His Majesty has been so kind to me, I would like to go and thank His Majesty in person."

"His Majesty is currently discussing matters with several ministers."

However, the Emperor had instructed that he would come to Fengzao Palace that evening.

"Your Highness, you may take a good rest first."

"Very well then, I will wait here for His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please take a look at the layout of Fengzao Palace and see if you are satisfied. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, this servant will immediately take people to make changes."

"There's no need to trouble Eunuch Li. He has to take care of His Majesty, so I won't keep him any longer."

Chuntao gave a purse as a reward to Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li weighed the purse in his hand; it was quite heavy.

He left with a smile.

Then he summoned all the palace staff of Fengzao Palace, recognized them all, and said a few words of both kindness and severity.

Normally, Chuntao, Xiahe, Qiuju, and Dongmei are the four people who take care of her.

Chuntao went to put away the things she had brought.

Xia He went to the small kitchen to prepare some food for Jiang He.

I got up very early this morning and was starving.

Qiuju went to other palaces to deliver greeting gifts to the other concubines.

Regardless of rank, everyone received the same gift upon meeting: two bolts of Shu brocade, two pearl hairpins, a pair of earrings, and a pair of bracelets.

Dongmei helped Jiang He change her clothes, remove her hair ornaments, and put her in a more comfortable outfit.

Eunuch Li returned to the Emperor to report.

There were no ministers at all.

Today, the Emperor is waiting for two pieces of news.

One was the news of General Jiang's departure.

One was the news that the Imperial Concubine had entered the palace.

Now we've finally received the second piece of news.

"Li Defu, is everything arranged? Did the Imperial Concubine say anything?"

"It's all arranged. This servant said that Fengzao Palace was specially arranged by His Majesty, and the Noble Consort wanted to come and thank His Majesty in person."

The servant said that His Majesty would be visiting the Empress that evening. The Consort then dismissed the servant.

"She's still a young girl. The Imperial Concubine is only fourteen years old now."

"Yes."

"With the Imperial Concubine entering the palace, Consort Yue must be heartbroken to hear the news."

"I'll go see Consort Yue first, and then have dinner at Fengzao Palace tonight."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor left from the back to visit Consort Yue.

Li Defu went back outside to continue guarding the area.

Pretend the emperor is still inside.

The Emperor always went to see Consort Yue alone, secretly.

If we make a big fuss about it, everyone will know.

During the Emperor's absence, Li Defu would act as if the Emperor was busy inside and wouldn't see anyone.

We need to keep everyone outside.

The emperor took various shortcuts to reach Mingyue Palace.

Consort Yue was angry at the moment, and when the Emperor arrived, she kept a cold face and ignored him.

The Emperor kept the matter of the Imperial Concubine a secret and never told her.

It wasn't until today, with the Imperial Concubine's grand entrance into the palace, that Consort Yue learned of it.

"Moon, who made you angry? Tell me, and I will punish them severely."

"How could Yue'er dare to be angry? Today, the Imperial Concubine has entered the palace. Isn't the Emperor going to accompany her?"
