Chapter 44

How to Get the Emperor's Liking

The concubines are curious: ”What do you mean, Your Ladyship?”

”What bengong means by this is that bengong will teach all of you how to get the emperor's heart.  Bengong will try to figure out what he likes and then train all of you to fit his ideal type.  Then, we will try to find ways to show all of you to him and send each and every one of you to the dragon bed.” Mo Qi Qi confidently raises her head.

The concubines find that hard to believe, ”Are you telling the truth, Your Ladyship?  Don't tell me you are upset at Yang Guifei but doesn't dare to do anything about it, so now you are planning to use us as your punching bag.”

Mo Qi Qi helplessly sighs, ”Xia Fei, saying that is akin to insulting bengong.  If bengong really wants to use you as a punching bag, there are lot more effective and easier ways to do it without having to go through all this fuss.  The emperor belongs to everyone.  As the empress, bengong's first and foremost responsibility is to make sure his favour is evenly divided and help all of you get children.  Bengong only wants to help meimeis.”  By helping all of them, her life will be a lot easier. It doesn't matter if Ban Xiang is right or wrong, she must guard against every possibilities.  She must not let Jun Qian Che place his desire on her.  The best way for now is to send women to him to divert his attention.

Xia Fei's forehead is full of sweat, ”Your Ladyship, chenqie was too narrow-minded.  Chenqie was wrong.”

Mo Qi Qi waves her hand and generously saying, ”Never mind, bengong does not blame you.  Meimeis, all of you should return to your own palaces first.  Bengong needs to carefully study everything we need to do, first.  Give bengong three days, hopefully bengong can come up with something that will help all of you receive favour.”

The concubines are delighted; they immediately get up to thank her.  ”Thank you, Your Ladyship.”

”No need.  No need.  Leave first!”  Mo Qi Qi waves her hand off.

The concubines retreat.

Mo Qi Qi immediately returns to her original nature and no longer maintains the grace of an empress, simply lying on the phoenix seat.  She prop her two legs on the armrest while sighing, ”My ears finally gets a break.  So many of them have so many things so say, how noisy!”

Ban Xiang is uneasy, ”Your Ladyship, you really wants to help them gain favour?”

Mo Qi Qi takes a piece of grape and stuffs it in her mouth.  Her voice is really casual as she says, ”Of course!  Anything wrong with that?”

Ban Xiang immediately tries to talk her out of it, ”Your Ladyship, you must not be so muddle-headed!  If everyone in the harem receives favour, the distance between you and His Majesty that has only diminished will be pulled further apart again.  If you help them receive favour, they will not thank you.  Instead, they will behave exactly like Yang Guifei, completely disrespecting you.”

Mo Qi Qi does not care, ”It's alright.  Women should get each other's back.  Why must a woman makes things difficult for another woman?” As long as Jun Qian Che keeps his distance from her, who cares about who he beds?

”Your Ladyship———-”

”Alright, stop wasting my time.  I am hungry, go and prepare me breakfast!”

Ban Xiang helplessly sighs before retreating.

Mo Qi Qi eyes this luxurious palace before sighing in frustration.

She already checked Jun Qian Che's toilet last night and didn't spot anything weird.  Does that means the road to go back to her own dimension isn't in Jun Qian Che's toilet?  Where can it be, then?

She jumps up and enters her chamber before taking out the map to inspect it.
