Zhen Huan: Born into a Powerful Family, Pampered by the Entire Harem

Niu Hulu Qingshu had spent eighteen years growing up in the womb before she finally realized on the day of the imperial selection that she had transmigrated into Empresses in the Palace.

Gazing at the unfathomable Forbidden City, Qingshu looked over what she had going for her:

Her father was a first-rank duke and a close confidant of the emperor. Her brother was a renowned general who commanded a massive army and guarded the northwest. And she had once saved the Thirteenth Prince's life.

Qingshu: With a setup like this, if I don't go into the palace and live like a lazy fish, I'd be letting down my brother's hundred thousand troops!

After binding herself to the Lazy Fish Gossip System, Qingshu's daily routine was simple: sip milk tea and watch the drama, then offer the ladies of the harem a little emotional support.

She thought she was in for a storm of palace intrigue, but instead

Empress Yixiu, holding Princess An Lingrong: Qingshu, I just got a pair of jade ruyi scepters. Take them and play with them.

Consort Hua, snorting haughtily: I just made a new face mask. I'll give you two. Don't you dare say they don't work!

Zhen Huan, writing furiously: Little sister Qingshu, I've finished my new book, The Arrogant General Falls in Love with Me. Come take a look and tell me what you think!

The emperor looked at the empty Hall of Mental Cultivation, then at the beauties of the harem eating hot pot and playing cards in Jingyang Palace. He fell into deep thought. Was he... kind of unnecessary?
