Quick Transmigration: Vicious Female Side Character Role-play Plan

Chapter 12 - The Imperial Concubine is having an affair with the Prime Minister



“It’s always a pleasure to work with smart people.”

 

Jiang Xin Ren thought of Zhao Yue Li’s performance just now in the Qianqing Palace and was very pleased.

 

“When I read the plot, I always thought she still had lingering feelings for the Emperor. Now it seems I was overthinking it.”

 

No wonder she could become the female lead of a heroine-centric novel.

 

[The female lead doesn’t like the Emperor anymore? But just now, she was still hugging the Emperor and complaining.]

 

“Of course, she had to complain. If she didn’t speak, how would the Emperor feel pity for her, and how would she gain favor and rise to a high position?”

 

Zhao Yue Li had suffered so much. The pain was far more than the few words she said today.

 

She didn’t say a single true word to the Emperor. Every word she spoke was chosen to please the Emperor.

 

The palanquin stopped in front of the Jian Jia Palace. Jiang Xin Ren lifted her shawl and walked to the door of her bedchamber. She saw the palace guard who had delivered her letter today winking and gesturing at her.

 

Qiu Ye lightly scolded him, “How can you be so improper?”

 

The palace guard immediately looked distressed. He had received the master’s message and returned to the Jian Jia Palace, only to find Mistress Jiang missing. After asking others, he learned that Mistress Jiang had gone to the Imperial Garden.

 

He rushed to the Imperial Garden again, only to be told that Mistress Jiang had “heroically rescued a beauty” and caused a commotion in front of His Majesty!

 

He couldn’t possibly burst into the Qianqing Palace and tell Mistress Jiang, “Master is coming to your palace tonight~”

 

In the end, he could only return to the Jian Jia Palace, but he didn’t expect the master to be so eager and come so early.

 

He wanted to cry but had no tears. He had been waiting anxiously for Mistress Jiang to return. Now that he saw her, he was relieved and gestured vigorously.

 

Jiang Xin Ren understood his meaning and had Qiu Ye reward him with a handful of gold leaves. She herself pushed open the bedchamber and indeed saw Zhuang He Ming sitting in front of her bed.

 

His expression was extremely unpleasant. To be precise, it was seven parts anger and three parts…

 

“Is what you wrote in the note to me true?”

 

Zhuang He Ming took out the crumpled little note, his face showing a forcefully suppressed calm.

 

Jiang Xin Ren blinked and nodded, “It’s true. I didn’t lie to you.”

 

“Good, good!” He laughed angrily, strode up to her, and tightly grasped the slender arms of the woman with his large hands.

 

“Are you crazy?!”

 

At this moment, he no longer had that refined demeanor. He clenched his teeth tightly, and the three parts of concern had all turned into anger.

 

“I’m outside the palace, worried about you getting into trouble, worried about you getting hurt, so I handed over all my subordinates to you; and you! If you really get pregnant, you won’t be able to escape death, do you know that?!”

 

Jiang Xin Ren’s arms were grasped so tightly that they hurt. Her gaze fell on the note that had fluttered to the ground, which read:

 

I didn’t drink the contraceptive soup.

 

“I won’t get pregnant,” Jiang Xin Ren said softly, “My body is not well.”

 

In fact, she had already taken the contraceptive medicine given by 086, which was safer and more effective than the contraceptive soup. Why would she bother drinking that contraceptive soup?

 

Writing such a note to Zhuang He Ming was to make him come and see her in person, just like now.

 

Zhuang He Ming looked at her fixedly. This delicate face, as enchanting as a flower, was the same as the day they first met, still stunning.

 

An unexpected first meeting, seeing her dazzling beauty, seeing her ruthless methods, he should be clearer than anyone else that Jiang Xin Ren was not someone who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.

 

It was he who was confused by his concern and lost his sense of propriety.

 

He lowered his eyes, loosened his grip on her hands, and wanted to take a step back to create distance.

 

Jiang Xin Ren reached out and grabbed him, not letting him leave. She was a bit annoyed and said, “Where are you going to hide again?”

 

“Not hiding.” He said in a low voice.

 

He couldn’t convince himself, nor could he convince her.

 

“I want more than just that one night,” Jiang Xin Ren raised her hand to touch his eyes. Her warm and soft fingertips slid down his cheeks, feeling his muscles tighten inch by inch under her touch.

 

“I want a high position, and I don’t want to be trapped and die in the palace.”

 

“My lord…”

 

Soft and gentle words, tender and affectionate, her soft body was nestled in his arms.

 

He lost to her once again, utterly defeated.

 

Sensing Zhuang He Ming’s hesitation, Jiang Xin Ren smiled even more happily. She raised her hands to push against his shoulders, pushing him back a few steps until he was standing at the edge of the bed.

 

With a bit of force, she pushed him to sit on the bed.

 

Zhuang He Ming supported himself with his hands behind him, allowing her to straddle his waist. Her soft red lips pressed against his slightly cool thin lips.

 

Amidst the entanglement of lips and teeth, their clothes gradually became disheveled. He inserted one hand into her loose hair, holding her, and flipped over to be on top.

 

———-

 

After a night of commotion, Jiang Xin Ren was especially lacking in energy during the day. It happened to be the fifteenth of the month, and she had to go to the Kunning Palace to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress, which she couldn’t decline.

 

Zhao Yue Li had just received her favor yesterday. She herself was not someone who would forget kindness. Seeing her looking tired, she walked over to her side with concern, “Consort Jiang, did you not rest well last night?”

 

“Last night, a philandering cat snuck into my palace, keeping me awake all night. I apologize for letting you see me in this state, MeiMei(Sister).”

 

Zhao Yue Li offered her advice, “You should still have the palace servants do a thorough check.”

 

As they were talking, the eunuch on the other side announced loudly, “His Majesty has arrived! Her Highness the Empress has arrived!”

 

Zhao Yue Li smiled apologetically and returned to her position.

 

Her rank was too low. Yesterday, to compensate her, the Emperor promoted her to the rank and bestowed her the title Rou.

 

When Jiang Xin Ren heard about this, she was surprised for a moment, “The Emperor does have some feelings for the female lead.”

 

[After all, he is the male lead. In the end, he reconciles with the female lead, and they live happily together.]

 

086 explained.

 

On the high seat, the Empress’ face was also covered with thick white powder, but it still couldn’t conceal her haggard and tired appearance.

 

The Second Prince’s health had always been poor, and he often fell ill. But yesterday’s attack was particularly severe, and he was burning with a high fever, causing his whole body to convulse.

 

The Empress hugged him and cried herself hoarse, afraid that he would die. Fortunately, in the end, he was safe and sound.

 

But after this incident, the Empress temporarily had no intention of dealing with these concubines. Seeing them dressed up in a flirtatious manner, trying hard to seduce His Majesty, she didn’t want to see them even more.

 

So she said a few words casually, reprimanded a few concubines who were currently favored by the Emperor, and then let the concubines disperse.

 

Originally, Jiang Xin Ren planned to return to her palace. But she happened to catch sight of Consort De, who had been demoted to the rank of Zhaoyi a few days ago and immediately showed a smile.

 

“086, I remember there was a plot point where the female lead was promoted again by stepping on Consort De, right?”

 

Consort De was scolded by the Empress and went back to vent her anger on the female lead. She didn’t expect the Emperor to be in the female lead’s room.

 

The Emperor, who saw everything, demoted Consort De’s rank the next day and promoted the female lead to Noble Concubine.

 

From the corner of her eye, she saw Zhao Yue Li standing in front of the Emperor, smiling gently, not knowing what they were talking about. Didn’t this just align?

 

Anyway, Li Zhaoyi (Consort De had been demoted) was bound to be upset today. Why couldn’t it be her causing it?

 

Jiang Xin Ren quickly walked to Li Zhaoyi’s side and bumped into her in an extremely affected and fake manner, almost knocking her to the ground.

 

“You!” Li Zhaoyi was furious and glared at her. The scolding words were just about to leave her mouth when they were blocked.

 

“Oh, JieJie(Elder Sister), are you alright? Look at how careless and reckless I am,” Jiang Xin Ren pretended to be remorseful. “I’m begging JieJie(Sister), please don’t blame me. You must forgive me.”

 

This shameless woman!

 

Li Zhaoyi pointed at her nose and was about to curse her out when she saw Jiang Xin Ren put on a look as if she suddenly remembered something.

 

“Oh my, oh my, I just remembered. Sister is no longer Consort De. It’s all because of my poor memory,” she said sarcastically a few more times, afraid that she hadn’t poured enough oil on the fire.

 

“But looking at Sister’s demeanor, it’s still the same as before. I didn’t think of it for a moment. You can’t entirely blame me, right?”

 

Li Zhaoyi was so angry that her face was distorted. She wished she could scratch that hypocritical face and tear that mouth apart!

 

If she continued, Li Zhaoyi might really take action.

 

Jiang Xin Ren quit while she was ahead and returned to her palace with Qiu Ye, satisfied.
