Sun Zhaohua received advice from an expert: the emperor had recently become fascinated with a palace maid in the imperial garden, often sneaking out late at night to seek some fun.
Some time ago, a consort had gotten wind of this and secretly switched places with the palace maid to win his favor.
The very next day, she was promoted to Jieyu.
Her family had fallen into decline, and she had been out of favor for a long time. She had no choice but to follow the same plan, hiding in the bushes and waiting for her chance.
The emperor really did come, and he was exceptionally vigorous. He even tore her bodice, leaving it hanging carelessly from a peony branch.
Strangely, the emperor didn't promote her the next day. Instead, he summoned her night after night to the depths of the flower grove...
So he was going to take what he wanted without giving anything in return! Watching her belly grow, Sun Zhaohua decided to demand an explanation from the emperor.
The emperor still didn't come. Instead, Lu Anshi, heir to Prince An and the head of the emperor's guards, gripped her waist with cold, stern eyes. His firm, resolute profile was sharper than a blade.
"Was I not enough for you, young lord? You still have your eye on someone else!"
