Chapter 2229: Chapter 2137: There’s Always Someone Courting Death 1

"What? Is His Majesty truly going to establish an Empress? Who is Xia Weibao, why have I never heard of this person before?"

"You don’t know Xia Weibao? She’s the woman His Majesty brought back this time from his incognito tour, it’s said she’s a Jianghu woman."

"A Jianghu woman? Has His Majesty gone mad, making someone from Jianghu the Empress! What place does this leave those of us noble-born concubines?"

"Shh, lower your voice, are you looking for death? Isn’t Consort Lan’s lesson enough?"

"No matter her status, His Majesty favors her, appoints her as Empress, what can you do about it, if you have the guts, go oppose in front of His Majesty..."

The premise being you can even see His Majesty.

They have been in the palace for several years, yet they don’t even know what His Majesty looks like, and they still vainly dream of competing for the position of Empress.

One of the concubines said quietly, "Who becomes Empress doesn’t really affect us, it’s not as if it’s not Xia Weibao that it would be any of us, but it’s different for the one at Tianju Hall..."

At Tianju Hall, Noble Consort Qi was so enraged she smashed everything in the Bedchamber to pieces, both valuable and worthless.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, heads down, enduring the heavy objects thrown at them, not daring to breathe heavily.

They had experienced the temper of this Noble Consort before, who was arrogant even on regular days, if they dared move now, they’d surely die a terrible death.

"Bitch! This palace has managed the Imperial Harem for so many years, and is the daughter of the Prime Minister, what right does Xia Weibao, a Jianghu bitch, have to be Empress!"

It infuriated her!

And another precious vase hit the Little Eunuch.

The Little Eunuch’s clothes were instantly stained red, his body shaking but not daring to move.

Just had to endure.

Noble Consort Qi saw him trembling, angrily walked over and kicked the Little Eunuch down to the ground, "Why are you shaking, do you even think this palace is inferior to Xia Weibao!"

"I dare not, I dare not." The Little Eunuch got up, continuously kowtowing, soon leaving bloodstains.

Hong Shan bowed her head and approached, "Noble Consort, please calm down, right now the Imperial Court is in a turmoil, the Prime Minister certainly won’t sit idly by, when the ministers exert pressure, it’s uncertain if Xia Weibao will ultimately succeed in being established as Empress."

These words were quite effective, the angry Noble Consort Qi slightly calmed down.

Sitting on the chair to catch her breath, her eyes slowly narrowed.

That’s right, right now the situation in the Imperial Court is complex, it’s the most turbulent time, His Majesty faces pressure from all directions.

Xia Weibao, a person with no status or background, without support, not a single person standing by her, even if His Majesty wants to protect her, he may not be able to do so.

With her father’s faction leading in the Imperial Court, her odds of winning may not be smaller than Xia Weibao.

Hong Shan poured her a cup of tea, "That’s right, establishing the Empress isn’t just His Majesty’s decision, it’s about the country, if things get heated, no one can protect her.

Someone from Jianghu, without talent or virtue, how could she be worthy to be Empress and rule the world?"

These words pleased Noble Consort Qi immensely.

She lightly sipped a mouthful of tea, the fire in her heart finally calming a bit.

That’s right, neither her status nor her abilities, Xia Weibao hasn’t convinced the crowd, she’s merely entranced His Majesty with her looks.

As long as the issue becomes big enough, even His Majesty won’t be able to protect her!

But...

Though things are currently quite heated, they still aren’t big enough!

If Xia Weibao made a mistake...

Thinking of this, Noble Consort Qi slowly smiled.

She refuses to believe that after surviving in the palace for so many years, she would lose to a little girl who had just entered the palace!
