[Win the palace struggle by doing nothing + clear-headed heroine + one-sided love from the hero + pregnancy and promotion go hand in hand + System + not both leads' first and only]
After transmigrating into the lowest-ranking laundry maid in the Imperial Laundry Bureau, Jiang Li just wanted to lie flat and live like a slacker.
But the System forced her into the palace struggle: [Today's mission: seduce the emperor. Failure will result in the Host's erasure.]
Jiang Li looked at her hands, chafed red from scrubbing clothes: ...Fine.
After her first night with the emperor, she climbed back to the laundry bureau with an aching back and sore waist, thinking that one time was more than enough of this awful job.
Who knew the emperor would keep summoning her, again and again?
Lady Zhou called her a seductress. The next day, Lady Zhou was sent to the Cold Palace.
Beauty Xu called her lowborn. That very night, Beauty Xu was confined for three months.
Empress Wang sneered, “A mere laundress dares call herself my sister?”
Jiang Li touched her slightly rounded belly and replied with complete sincerity, “Her Majesty the Empress is right. I'll go do the laundry now.”
Then the emperor arrived and helped her to her feet with his own hands. “Who dares make my Noble Consort do the laundry?”
The empress's face turned livid.
Jiang Li thought: This isn't how the story is supposed to go. She really only wants to lie flat.
**
Later, she understood. The less she seemed to want power, the more the emperor insisted on pushing her to the top.
Everyone else relied on scheming in the palace struggle. She got by simply slacking off~
It looks good, as long as the heroine is very clean and a little funny, but I don't know if the hero is interested in the heroine or likes her. At present, it seems that he is more interested.
My favorite book, five stars!!!
Beautiful! Moderate pace and no procrastination
