In the Drowning Kingdom, women are respected, the new emperor ascends the throne, and the harem expands. The Crescent Moon Empress likes good-looking men, so Hua Beiyu, a hairpin seller on the street, was captured and taken into the palace.
After entering the palace for a year, Hua Beiyu was still in perfect condition. Among the male concubines who entered the palace at the same time, some were pregnant and some were favored. Seeing that others were getting richer and richer, and their families were being promoted to officials, Hua Beiyu became anxious.
He decided to fight for favor.
He specially dressed up and took his valet to the small garden, hoping to meet the empress by chance, but Concubine Sun slapped her in the face.
"You little bitch, you want to seduce the empress, but you don't care about your status. Your ancestors are just picks, and you still want to enjoy the emperor's favor?"
Hua Beiyu covered her face and whimpered in her heart.
It is imperative that he does not give up and becomes his favorite concubine.
He took out all the valuable things on his body, bribed the chief maid beside the empress, and begged the chief maid to put his green card in front.
The chief's maid: "You are good-looking, but you are too stupid. You will easily die if you fail in a palace fight. Why don't you elope with me and leave the palace, and we can be together."
Hua Beiyu refused to obey, determined to be favored by the empress, and flew up a branch to become a sparrow.
The chief's maid bewitched him and tempted him. Hua Beiyu rejected her with the words "You can't give me wealth and glory", "Because our zodiac signs are not compatible", and "I like sweet food and you like spicy food".
The chief's maid, who had been rejected many times, slapped him and called him a fool. That night, Hua Beiyu received an imperial edict that the empress wanted to summon him to bed.
Hua Beiyu was washed, wrapped in a quilt and sent to the bed. He thought of the chief's maid dancing in the moonlight, and of the chief's maid who could eat a big elbow in one meal. He suddenly wanted to run away with the chief's maid and be together forever.
But it was too late. As soon as the quilt covering Hua Beiyu's head was lifted——
Hua Beiyu was stunned and wondered why the empress looked the same as the chief's maid.
The empress held the edge of the bed, lifted Hua Beiyu's chin, and said, "I can give you wealth and glory now, so are our zodiac signs still compatible? Do you still eat sweets?"
