00:00My mother and I lived in a remote village for 8 years.
00:03During those 8 years, my father never came once.
00:06Only two maidservants took care of us, but in fact, they were just guarding us.
00:10Not allowing us to run around freely or have contact with outsiders.
00:14The village was so remote that the job of guarding us was a hard one.
00:17The two maidservants were resentful and always took it out on my mother and me.
00:21They called my mother a whore and said that she should have killed herself after losing her virtue.
00:25They called me a bastard, claiming that I was the result of my mother's affair with another man.
00:30My mother would defend me and argue with them, but every time she was beaten until she was covered in
00:34bruises.
00:35Once, when my mother was beaten again, I sneaked under their bed at night, planning to pretend to be a
00:40ghost to scare them.
00:41But I overheard them chatting at night and learned that.
00:44All the insults and beatings were ordered by the second wife of the manor.
00:47The purpose was to make my mother and me unable to bear the suffering and commit suicide.
00:51It wasn't that the second wife was afraid to kill us, but that she and my father were concerned about
00:56their reputation.
00:57If we were found dead and any clues were discovered, it would be a handle for others to use against
01:02them.
01:03My father's career was at its peak and he couldn't afford to take such a risk.
01:07So they could only slowly torture us like cutting with a blunt knife, and our suicide would be the best
01:12outcome for them.
01:13Of course, even if it was discovered that our suicide was caused by the torture of the servants,
01:17My father and the second wife could still claim that they lived far away and couldn't control their servants,
01:22thus washing their hands of the matter completely.
01:26I told my mother about this matter, but she didn't make a fuss.
01:29Instead, she began to secretly teach me to read and write, as well as some rules I didn't understand.
01:34I was not willing to accept this and wanted to ask my father for confirmation, but my mother sternly stopped
01:40me.
01:41Defiant, I tried to sneak away, and finally managed to get on the carriage when the manor was sending supplies
01:45to the village and followed it back to the manor.
01:47It was my first time seeing a Parker manor.
01:50It was magnificent with carved beams and painted pillars.
01:53I was wearing tattered clothes, and was treated as a beggar and kicked out.
01:57Right at the entrance of the manor.
01:59I saw my father coming back in a sedan chair with a delicate and pretty little girl.
02:03I went up to call my father, but was kicked down by his guards.
02:06My father looked at me with disdain and ordered someone to send me back to the village.
02:10His tone was cold and he looked at me as if I were a disgrace.
02:14I heard the girl ask my father who I was.
02:16My father gently told her,
02:18Just a beggar.
02:19Beggars are dirty.
02:21Emily doesn't look at them, or she'll dirty her eyes.
02:24Later, I learned that the girl was the daughter of the second wife, named Parker Emily.
02:28At only 7 years old, she was already renowned for her talent and was my father's pride.
02:33At the age of 8, I still naively believed that as long as I studied hard,
02:37I could be as favored by my father as Parker Emily.
02:40So I studied hard with my mother.
02:42As I grew older and more beautiful year by year,
02:45my mother's brows became more and more furrowed.
02:47She didn't allow me to dress up.
02:49To prevent the two nannies who guarded us from noticing my appearance,
02:52she even made me deliberately look ugly.
02:54On the day of my coming of age ceremony,
02:56my mother said something to the nannies in charge of us,
02:59and they actually took her back to the manor.
03:01But it was only half a day before my mother returned.
03:04She came back very sad.
03:06I didn't know what had happened to her in the manor.
03:08My mother didn't tell me anything,
03:10but just kept teaching me the four arts of music,
03:12chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as needlework.
03:17Not long after, my mother committed suicide without any warning.
03:20She left a suicide note filled with her own remorse,
03:23saying that she had defiled herself and didn't deserve to live.
03:26I didn't believe what was written in my mother's note.
03:28Nor did I believe she had committed suicide.
03:31I fought with the two nuns who were guarding us,
03:33thinking they had forced her to do it,
03:35but they knocked me unconscious.
03:37When I woke up again,
03:38I rushed out of the estate and went to the county magistrate's office to ask for an autopsy.
03:43The result was that my mother had indeed committed suicide.
03:46The nuns guarding us told me,
03:47Stop causing trouble.
03:49Your slut of a mother committed suicide.
03:51She made a deal with the grand tutor and the second lady.
03:54Her suicide saved the face of the Parker family.
03:57In exchange, you'll be given a good family to marry into.
04:01The second lady is kind-hearted and has already found a good match for you.
04:05He's a lame widower who slaughters pigs.
04:07It's your good fortune to be able to marry him.
04:10Get ready, he'll come to take you in a few days.
04:13The nuns smiled smugly,
04:14seemingly happy that they wouldn't have to continue guarding me and my mother.
04:18This time, I didn't make a fuss or cause a scene.
04:20The two nuns thought I had resigned myself to my fate.
04:23But little did they know that in the middle of the night,
04:26after they fell asleep, I carried my mother's body and ran away.
04:30When I reached the capital, the brown was already high in the sky.
04:33I carried my mother's body to the Parker residence,
04:36determined to seek justice for her from Parker Michael.
04:39When I arrived at the gate of the Parker residence,
04:41I saw a long wedding procession coming out,
04:43a true ten miles of red, extremely grand.
04:46I heard the people around me talking.
04:48It turned out that my dear sister, Parker Emily,
04:51was going to the palace today to accompany the emperor
04:53and become the new emperor's concubine.
04:55I saw my father standing at the gate to see her off.
04:58His face full of joy.
05:00Those officials were saying all kinds of flattering words to him.
05:03I saw a look of pride on his face.
05:05It was obvious that my mother's death had no effect on him at all,
05:08it was even a cause for celebration.
05:10I stood in the crowd, carrying my mother's body,
05:13and just watched quietly.
05:14The silver coins and candies thrown by the servants and maids hit me,
05:17but I felt no pain at all.
05:19I clenched my hands tightly, my nails digging into my palms.
05:23I silently swore that I would avenge my mother.
05:25I would make Parker Michael and everyone in the Parker residence pay for her death.
05:33The Treasures Building is the largest auction house in our dynasty.
05:36Here, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the world.
05:39There is nothing that the Treasures Building cannot obtain,
05:42and there is nothing that the Treasures Building dares not auction.
05:45No one knows who is behind the Treasures Building,
05:48but neither the sons of nobles nor the descendants of noble families dare to be unruly here.
05:52At this moment, I am standing on the top floor of the Treasures Building,
05:56looking at the manager brown in front of me.
05:58Miss, what do you want to buy?
06:00I'm not buying anything. I'm selling something.
06:05What are you selling, Miss?
06:07A thing worth 500,000 tiles.
06:10Can you make the decision?
06:13Although I'm just the manager, I can make the decision for Fiverland Tile.
06:17Please tell me what you want to do.
06:20I'm selling myself.
06:24Miss, no.
06:26Please don't erase.
06:27I'm the eldest daughter of the current Prime Minister and the elder sister of the Imperial Convent.
06:32I'm worth 500,000 Tangs.
06:34Now I want to sell myself to bury my mother.
06:37This news will make the Treasures Bilk of the entire capital and your reputations even higher.
06:42This deal won't be a loss for you.
06:44The Treasures Building claims that there is nothing you dare not auction.
06:49Now, do you dare to take on this deal?
06:52Miss, please wait a moment.
06:54He left, obviously to consult the owner behind the Treasures Building.
06:58After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Brown returned and said,
07:03Miss, we'll take your deal.
07:05The auction will start in three days.
07:07Before the action, I hope the Treasures Hill can for me do three young things.
07:10Please tell me, Haji.
07:11The first thing's probably the new is that I'm I'm selling myself to bury my moots in.
07:15And the new is that I'm Cheikh of Alsternur and the Dave Ayinbe Noon who are throughout the Sud,
07:20even in the Imperial Hallis.
07:22The second thing is to protect me for three days.
07:26During these three days, no matter who puts pressure on the Treasures Bill,
07:29you must not cancel this auction or hand me over.
07:31I said to Brown,
07:33Miss, you're going to have a life and death struggle with the Prime Minister.
07:37But the Treasures Building agrees.
07:39I smiled.
07:41Of course.
07:42Although Parker Michael is the top minister and has countless people fawning over him,
07:46there are still people who want to see him lose face.
07:48On the day of the auction,
07:50I want to make Parker Michael the laughingstock of the entire capital.
07:53But what I want is not just to make Parker Michael lose face.
07:56I want to seek justice for my mother.
08:02Sure enough, the news that I was going to sell myself to bury my mother spread throughout the
08:06capital in less than half a day and caused a huge stir.
08:08Along with this news, the story of how my mother was raped by bandits 17 years ago while
08:13trying to save Parker Michael also came to light.
08:15Although it had been 17 years and not many people remembered, I did.
08:19My mother died because of this.
08:21While Parker Michael, the beneficiary, lived a carefree life.
08:25This was too unfair, so I had someone spread this story.
08:28Some people said that Parker Michael mistreated my mother and me, and even after our deaths,
08:32we had no money for a proper burial, which was why I was selling myself to bury my mother.
08:37Others said that Parker Michael was ungrateful and had betrayed his original wife.
08:41There were also those who said that the position of the imperial concubine should have been mine,
08:45because the new emperor was originally going to marry the daughter of the prime minister,
08:48and I was the legitimate daughter, while Parker Emily was born to the second wife
08:52and was technically a concubine's daughter.
08:54It was only a short while before an enraged Parker Michael,
08:57accompanied by several fierce-looking servants armed with sticks,
09:00came to the treasure's building to take me away.
09:03They said they were taking me away, but their attitude clearly indicated that they were prepared
09:07to kill me on the spot.
09:08Fortunately, I had already hidden in a safe place.
09:11Parker Michael searched the treasure's building thoroughly but failed to find me,
09:15and could only leave in frustration.
09:17Manager Brown told me that Parker Michael had left spies around the treasure's building,
09:21asking me not to show up.
09:22Besides, the palace had also sent people to keep an eye on the treasure's building,
09:26and many of Parker Michael's political rivals had also stationed people there.
09:30I wasn't surprised at all, as I had expected.
09:33So I was prepared to stay hidden for three days.
09:36Manager Brown also informed me that Parker Emily had entered the palace to accompany the emperor
09:40for the first time yesterday, but because of my incident, the emperor didn't even visit her quarters.
09:46I smiled slightly upon hearing this.
09:48This was just the beginning, the retribution for the Parker family was only just starting.
09:53Three days passed quickly.
09:54On the third day, the auction hall of the treasure's building was packed,
09:58and it was at this time that I made my appearance.
10:03I sat on the high platform, surrounded by customers who had come for the auction.
10:07I was being scrutinized like a commodity, but I remained calm and composed, not caring at all.
10:12I looked around and saw Parker Michael sitting in the middle,
10:15his face full of anger and his eyes burning with rage.
10:18If this weren't the treasure's building, perhaps he would have already ordered someone to come and kill me.
10:23I glanced at him and moved on without a second glance.
10:25My gaze finally rested on a private box on the second floor.
10:29The shopkeeper, Brown, had told me that the person in that box was from the palace,
10:33but he didn't know exactly who it was.
10:36Today's auction isn't a public bidding.
10:38Instead, the starting price is 200,000 thylons.
10:41Each person would write down their price on a piece of paper,
10:44and this lady would be the one to check them all.
10:47The highest bidder would win.
10:49I saw a determined look flash in Parker Michael's eyes.
10:52At that moment, he stood up and said,
10:54I am the father of this scoundrel.
10:56He has done such a disgraceful thing today.
10:58It's my fault for not teaching him well.
11:00I will bid 200,000 thylons today.
11:03I hope everyone will show me respect.
11:05After saying that,
11:06Parker Michael looked around as if trying to remember everyone's faces.
11:10I smiled.
11:11What he said was a threat.
11:13It seemed that not many people would dare to bid now.
11:16Fortunately, it was a secret auction.
11:18Maybe someone would really dare to bid higher than Parker Michael.
11:22Half an hour later, Brown handed me all the bidding slips.
11:24I opened them one by one and made notes.
11:27Daniel Wilson, the Vice Minister of Personnel, bid 1,000 thylons.
11:33David Johnson, the Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, bid 8,000 thylons.
11:38William Thomas, the Chancellor of the Imperial College, bid 10,000 thylons.
11:42These people all showed respect to Parker Michael, the Grand Tudor,
11:45and didn't dare to bid too high.
11:47However, they still offered a decent price,
11:50not degrading the daughter of the Grand Tudor.
11:52They really managed to please both sides.
11:54I opened the last slip.
11:56It read, Parker Michael, 200,000 thylons.
11:59The highest bid in the entire auction.
12:03Master Brown looked at the price above and whispered in my ear,
12:06Treasure's building only cares about the price.
12:08You can only hope for the best.
12:10I understood Master Brown's meaning.
12:12He thought that if I was bought by Parker Michael,
12:15it would surely be a bad outcome for me.
12:17But Treasure's building only recognized the price
12:19and wouldn't care about anything else.
12:21This was their code of conduct and they wouldn't break it for me.
12:25This time the highest bidder is Minister Parker Michael,
12:28who offered 500,000 thylons.
12:31Parker Michael's face turned stiff and he was about to stand up to refute me.
12:35The second highest bid was 490,000 thylons, just 1,000 thylons short.
12:41Parker Michael opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
12:44I knew he might suspect that I was lying, but he didn't dare to bet
12:48because he was determined to get me.
12:50If I was bought by someone else today, Parker Michael, the Grand Tudor,
12:53would lose all face and I would be out of his control.
12:56That might cause endless trouble for him in the future.
12:58So now he could only suffer this silent loss.
13:01Parker Michael's face turned ashen.
13:03He took out 500,000 thylons of silver notes from his pocket
13:06and handed them to the people from Treasure's building.
13:09Then he was about to come forward and pull me away.
13:11I shook off his hand and took the 400,000 thylons of silver from Master Brown.
13:16Treasure's building took 20% of the auction price, so I only got 400,000 thylons.
13:20You wretched girl.
13:22Come with me to the mansion.
13:23I'll deal with you when we get there.
13:26You can't take this 400,000 thys either.
13:28Minister Parker, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
13:32Then, without waiting for his reaction, I said to the private room on the second floor,
13:37This common, Grace Clark, is willing to don't send right how into the binging chandals
13:41and offer priceless barbell can give others of patrons.
13:45I only hope to be allowed to serve in the palace.
13:48Clark was my mother's surname.
13:50I hated the surname Parker.
13:54As soon as I said this, Parker Michaels faced Michaela dramatically.
13:58He glared at me and shouted towards the private room on the second floor.
14:02This brat is just joking!
14:05The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the border was unstable.
14:09There had been several conflicts, and the emperor intended to launch a war to intimidate
14:13the barbarians and establish his authority.
14:15However, the civil officials led by Parker Michael were opposed to the military taking too much
14:20power, and the treasury was empty, so the matter had been delayed.
14:24At this moment, I was willing to donate 400,000 tails of silver as provisions to support the
14:30emperor.
14:30This was like a shot in the arm, and I believed that the emperor would be moved.
14:35Immediately after, a small eunuch hurriedly came downstairs to me.
14:39I took out something from my sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, who rushed upstairs with it.
14:44By the grace of heaven, the emperor decrees that Grace Clark is to be enorbled as Concon's
14:51Clark, and enter the palace today.
14:53I took the imperial edict and felt relieved.
14:56Parker Michaels' face turned ashen.
14:57You bitch!
14:58You're just as disgusting as your bitch of a mother!
15:00You should have died long ago!
15:01I should have strangled you at birth!
15:04Do you really think that once I'm in the palace, you can't kill me?
15:08I didn't care about Parker Michaels' curses at all.
15:11Instead, I found it rather amusing.
15:16Riding in a sedan chair to the palace, I was in a good mood.
15:19I had won today's confrontation, but it was just a stroke of luck.
15:23Parker Michaels was unprepared, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation.
15:28The so-called treasure I had was the list of all the officials who had bid at the auction
15:31today, along with the amount of silver they had spent.
15:34The imperial treasury was empty, yet these officials had been trying for it to the emperor.
15:38Now, they were spending so freely at the auction.
15:41If they could spend so much money on a woman, they should also be willing to contribute that
15:46much to support the war on the border.
15:48With this list, the emperor could force those officials to donate money to support the war.
15:52Although it was just a list, it was indeed a treasure that could solve the emperor's
15:56immediate problem.
15:57I moved into the blessing palace.
16:00The first thing I did after entering the palace was to donate all the dowry that Parker
16:03Michael had given me to the imperial treasury.
16:05I found Parker Michael's things dirty and only kept my mother's dowry carefully.
16:10My action made the emperor very happy, and he immediately praised me for my righteousness
16:14and bestowed me with many treasures.
16:16Half a day after entering the palace, the head of the imperial household department came
16:21to my courtyard with several maids and eunuchs.
16:23Conscient clerk, these servants have all been well trained by the imperial household department.
16:28Please take a look and see if there is anyone you like.
16:32I glanced at the row of maids and eunuchs, and then looked at the head of the imperial
16:36household department.
16:37You pick a few for me.
16:38I have only one requirement.
16:40The servants you pick can be the emperor and imperial consents spies, but they must not
16:44be spies for Parker imperial consents and Parker Michael.
16:47If I find out, I will kill you even if it costs me my life.
16:50Think it over carefully.
16:52Is the silver Parker Michael gave you more important than your life?
16:55Don't take my words lightly.
16:57I swear to heaven that I will never stop until I succeed.
17:00My words made the head of the imperial household department's face change.
17:04Contravine Clark is joking.
17:05How could I dare?
17:08I continued drinking my tea and ignored him.
17:11The head of the imperial household department's face changed for a long time.
17:15Then he picked a few eunuchs and maids and led the others to leave with a bow.
17:20After entering the palace, I needed to pay my respects to the empress.
17:24When I arrived at the empress's phoenix palace, there were already quite a few people inside.
17:29The empress was sitting in the middle, and I went forward to pay my respects.
17:33My movements were extremely standard, as if I had practiced them thousands of times.
17:37The concubines who were waiting to see me make a fool of myself were all somewhat surprised
17:41because they all knew that I had been raised in a dilapidated manner and had never been disciplined
17:45since childhood, and thus must be coarse and unfit for the palace.
17:48But they never expected me to be so dignified and refined.
17:53Contravine Clark, please rise.
17:55Take a seat.
17:57I stood up and walked to the side to sit down.
18:00My gaze fell on a woman opposite me.
18:02I knew she was Parker Emily, the current emperor's concubine of high rank,
18:05and the daughter of Parker Michael whom he was so proud of.
18:08Today is Confine Clark's first day in the palace.
18:11From now on, we are all sisters.
18:14We must get along harmonially.
18:17Parker Emily looked at me, her eyes full of resentment.
18:20Sister, you have quite the talent.
18:22Your mother just passed her three days ago, and you can't wait to enter the palace.
18:26Selling yourself to bury your mother and pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, what a good trick.
18:31I wonder if your mother can rest in peace knowing your behavior.
18:35I glanced at the empress.
18:37She had just said that we should get along harmoniously, but Parker Emily immediately started to mock me.
18:42It seemed that she was not giving the empress any face and was also trying to give me a warning.
18:46Parker Emily's eagerness to mock me must be because of what I did before.
18:50I first donated 400,000 tales to the national treasury, and then sent the 100.000 tales of dowry given
18:57by Parker Michael to the national treasury as well.
18:59Everyone praised me for my loyalty and righteousness.
19:02But Parker Emily was put in a difficult position because as the daughter of Parker Michael, she had to decide
19:07whether to donate her dowry or not.
19:09If she didn't, it would make her look selfish.
19:12If she did, she would be reluctant to part with it.
19:15This was exactly the result I wanted.
19:17I wanted everyone in the Parker family to be restless.
19:20The other concubines all stared at me with a look of schadenfreude.
19:23I smiled.
19:24I was not a pushover.
19:28Sister, remember that my mother passed away just three days ago.
19:31When my mother, your stepmother, passed away, you, a Conkin's daughter, could get married.
19:35Why can't I, a legitimate daughter, do the same?
19:40I don't know my much-learned scenes, but I'm sure your mother, the conscient shriek and pole of May.
19:47Now everyone knows that the so-called second wife is just a self-deceiving calm.
19:52You will be a cup's daughter for the rest of your life.
19:54How pitiful.
19:56My words made Parker Emily's face turn ashen.
19:58Because of the previous rumors, she, a concubine's daughter, had replaced the legitimate daughter to become a concubine of high
20:05rank.
20:05The emperor hadn't visited her chambers in the past three days, making her a laughingstock.
20:10She was about to retort when the empress interrupted directly.
20:13Enough.
20:14Concervine Clark, stay.
20:16The rest of you, leave.
20:27Parker Emily was unwilling but had no choice but to leave with the other concubines.
20:31After they had all left, the empress turned to me and said.
20:35Concey Clark, the emperor and I know about your feud, the Grand Hunter Parker.
20:39You have helped the emperor this time, and I will remember your goodness.
20:43Although I am also wary of the Grand Hunter Parker in the palace and protect you.
20:47In the half day since I entered the palace, the emperor had already gone to the homes of various officials
20:51with the list I gave him, forcing them to donate.
20:54He had solid evidence and, for the sake of the country, those people could no longer pretend they had no
20:59money.
20:59I looked at the empress, pondering her words.
21:03Empress, I appreciate your kindness.
21:06But I will never stop fighting with the entire Parker family until we are both dead.
21:12The empress sighed.
21:14Why go through all this trouble?
21:15You have no power or influence.
21:17How can you fight?
21:18I remained silent.
21:20In the end, the empress could only let me leave.
21:25On my first night in the palace, it was customary for me to sleep with the emperor.
21:29That was the unspoken rule in the palace.
21:32At the hour of you, the emperor came to my blessing palace.
21:35I went forward and bowed.
21:37Your majesty, may you be well.
21:39Rise.
21:40And then walked to the table and sat down.
21:42I recognized this voice as the one I had heard in the private room earlier today.
21:46At this moment, the small eunuch by the emperor's side led everyone out.
21:50I knew the emperor had something to say.
21:53Consummate Clark, today Grand Tutor Parker came to see me and asked me to send you to the cold palace.
21:59Nana, what did your majesty say?
22:02I have just dumped a throat and shouting, let's be the steel agent.
22:06Ming were in the labage and Chalf Parker.
22:09Chalf Parker's supports were shouting with dim thin welling.
22:13After the emperor finished speaking, he looked troubled and took a sip of tea.
22:17Your majesty really sounded dying, but I just bumped me.
22:20Wash one down the inns away, Pigs.
22:23The soldiers on the border will remember this favor.
22:26If your majesty punish me, not in knotting the Sherbing be dishearted, and the Servie be dishearted.
22:30I have always been loyal to your majesty.
22:35Concubine Clark, you are very smart.
22:37You have been calculating since the auction.
22:39You are so smart, I'm so smart.
22:41Can you guess if I agreed?
22:43Your majesty will not agree.
22:46Why?
22:47The reasons you just gave are not enough for me to reject Grand Tutor Parker's offer.
22:52Because I can just send you to the cold palace six months later when everything has calmed down and find
22:56any excuse I want.
23:00Because the emperor is the emperor, the son of Tevin.
23:02The emperor is not controlled by anyone.
23:05Parker Michael helped you once, but what about the second time, the third time?
23:10So the emperor will not agree.
23:12Ben looked at the emperor.
23:13The emperor didn't speak, his cold eyes staring at me.
23:16After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
23:20Concubine Clark, if you were a man, I would surely appoint you as the prime minister.
23:25I could tell that the emperor had a moment of murderous intent just now.
23:29Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.
23:31The emperor doesn't allow smart people in the harem.
23:34Your majesty, would you like to make a deal with me?
23:38Tell me what you have in mind.
23:41I'll help you bring down Parker Michael.
23:44After Parker Michael falls,
23:46I hope your majesty will allow me to leave the palace and go to the Baisuan temple to practice Buddhism.
23:52I finished speaking and looked at the emperor.
23:54I agree with you.
23:55But do you know the influence Parker Michael has in the court?
24:00How dare you speak so boldly?
24:02I nodded.
24:03Parker Michael is the grand tutor,
24:05and all six ministries are under his control.
24:07It's like a solid iron bucket,
24:09and even the emperor can't pry it open for the time being.
24:16Then I'll wait and see.
24:17After sitting in my palace for over an hour,
24:20the emperor finally left.
24:22Clearly, the emperor had saved my face.
24:24Everyone else would think that I had slept with him tonight.
24:30On the third day after entering the palace,
24:32the emperor would come to my quarters and stay for over an hour every day.
24:35Most of the time, we played chess.
24:38But in the eyes of others,
24:39I was extremely favored and slept with the emperor every night.
24:42I heard that the porcelain in the bamboo garden had been replaced several times.
24:46The bamboo garden was where Parker Emily lived.
24:48I could tell that the emperor was doing this on purpose,
24:51just to provoke Parker Emily and her father, Parker Michael.
24:54Sure enough, on the fourth day,
24:56news came from the Parker family that Parker Michael had divorced my mother
24:59on the grounds that she was unchaste.
25:00My mother and I had no connection with the Parker family from then on,
25:04and my mother was not allowed to be buried in the Parker family's ancestral tomb.
25:08I sneered.
25:09Who cared about the Parker family's ancestral tomb?
25:11My mother would have thought it dirty to be buried there.
25:14But Parker Michael had made his move.
25:16So I had to respond.
25:18That afternoon, I asked the emperor to issue an order for Parker Michael
25:21and his second wife to come to the palace.
25:23The emperor was reluctant at first,
25:25but when I told him that this could help him break up the alliance of the civil officials,
25:29he reluctantly agreed.
25:32I waited in the blessing palace for an hour.
25:35Then a young eunuch led Parker Michael and his second wife in.
25:38Parker Michael was the second most powerful person in the court,
25:41and the eunuchs and maidservants all bowed to him.
25:43Parker Michael clearly enjoyed this feeling and was smug all the way.
25:46When Parker Michael saw me, there was still anger in his eyes.
25:49Did you ask me to come to the palace so that your mother could be buried in the Parker family's
25:52ancestral tomb?
25:54I gave Parker Michael a cold look and then glanced at the second wife beside him.
25:57She was indeed beautiful, and Parker Emily inherited her looks.
26:02Minister Parker, you have such great authority.
26:05You don't even bow to the emperor's concund.
26:07Are you defying the imperial family?
26:09I sneered.
26:13Parker Michael's face froze for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and bowed.
26:17The second madam's expression was also very ugly as she began to bow.
26:21I took an object out of my sleeve and placed it on the table beside me.
26:24Parker Michael and the second madam were bowing right in front of that object.
26:28When Parker Michael stood up and saw the object,
26:31Grace Clark you are really too bold.
26:33The second madam's expression was also extremely ugly after seeing that thing.
26:37I, however, smiled and stroked the object beside me.
26:40It was my mother's memorial tablet, made rather small so that I could carry it into the palace.
26:46Parker Michael and the second madam's bowing just now was equivalent to bowing to my mother,
26:50which was why they were so angry.
26:52I just like to talk to my mother.
26:54How is that being bold?
26:56Mr. Parker, please explain.
26:58Parker Michael was so angry that he couldn't speak.
27:01You made my lord bow to this slut!
27:04Does she deserve it?
27:06I sneered.
27:06Does a concubine like you have the right to question my mother's affairs?
27:10Garves!
27:11This concubine has been disrespectful to me.
27:13Slap her 30 size!
27:15The second madam looked at me with a smug expression.
27:17I stood up and slapped the second madam.
27:20I dare!
27:21You!
27:22Grand Dutor Parker, have you thought it through?
27:26This slap is equivalent to slapping the face of the Imperial family.
27:30Your reputation will be ruined in an instant.
27:33Parker Michael had spent his entire life protecting his reputation.
27:36How could he break his own rules for a second madam?
27:39Parker Michael was shaking with rage, but in the end, he didn't hit me.
27:43Instead, I slapped the second madam again.
27:46I was strong.
27:47While the second madam was used to a life of luxury,
27:50she was knocked to the ground by my two slaps and was completely stunned.
27:53Grace Clark, I have many ways to make your life a living hell.
27:57I didn't do anything to you yesterday because of that little bit of father-daughter affection,
28:01but today, you have humiliated me like this!
28:05I won't let you off the hook.
28:08Mr. Parker, when you forced my mother to death,
28:11we were already sworn enemies.
28:16Not even half an hour after Parker Michael left with the second concubine,
28:19a stack of memorials impeaching me was delivered to the Imperial study.
28:23In the evening, the Empress came to my courtyard and said,
28:26Let's go for a walk at the Water Cloud Nunnery.
28:29Take your mother's muriel tape with you.
28:31The Water Cloud Nunnery was a Buddhist temple in a secluded part of the palace,
28:35a place where some of the concubines would go to pray.
28:37I followed the Empress to the Water Cloud Nunnery with my mother's memorial tablet.
28:41The Empress lit the incense first and then said to me,
28:44Let's enshone your mother's memorial tobit in the Water Cloud Nunnery.
28:47There are palace rules that permit setting up private memorial toads in the palace.
28:51I nodded.
28:52The Empress had already been very kind to me.
28:56Concubine Clark, this time you've caused too much trouble.
29:00The Emperor has to punish you.
29:02I nodded again.
29:03I had already prepared myself.
29:05Today was the seventh day after my mother's death,
29:08and I did this to vent my anger for her.
29:10Seeing my reaction, the Empress sighed and said,
29:13Fortunately, you've foredone some good deeds, and I've pleaded with the Emperor.
29:16So this time, it will be a minor schmidt as a warning.
29:19You'll be punished by copying Buddha scriptials.
29:22Concubine Clark, I can see from the memorial
29:25tablet you're carrying that you and your mother have a deep bond.
29:28Your mother's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to take such risks.
29:31Empress, there's no need to persuade me.
29:33It's a fight to death.
29:35The Empress sighed again and pointed to the garden outside.
29:38Look at those little maidservants.
29:40I followed her finger and saw a group of little maidservants weeding the flowers in the
29:44garden.
29:45Perhaps because the water cloud nunnery was in the innermost part of the palace and few concubines
29:49came here, the maidservants were bold and played while working.
29:52Their laughter could be heard.
29:54This palace is full of darkness and treacherity, but there is also hope and peace.
29:59If you wait for a year when everyone has forgotten about you, I can ask the Emperor to
30:03let you leave the palace and find a place to live in peace.
30:06I looked at the Empress and asked the question in my heart.
30:08Why are you doing this?
30:10On my first day in the palace, I felt that the Empress treated me differently.
30:14Now she was even saying she would ask the Emperor to let me leave the palace.
30:18This wasn't something an Empress should say.
30:20The Empress smiled and said,
30:21You might not believe me, but I see in you the kind of rebellious spirit I've always
30:25wanted, the kind of determination to resist everything.
30:28I've had to be the Empress for my family and the Emperor all my life.
30:31But you're different.
30:33You have more possibilities.
30:36All the way back, I was lost in thought about the Empress's words.
30:40When I returned to the Blessing Palace, I saw Parker Emily leading people to guard my
30:44courtyard.
30:45As soon as Parker Emily saw me, she wanted to come and fight with me.
30:49You bitch!
30:50But was held back by the maidservant beside her.
30:53Your Highness, please calm down.
30:55You are of noble birth and don't need to confront her head down.
30:57Your Highness, please be don't beat it.
31:00Tysha's the easing swissure's mother to tease I funkum.
31:03Everyone's persuasion made Parker Emily calm down as well.
31:06I looked at Parker Emily and said, do you also want to taste the flavor of a slap?
31:10Don't you just rely on the Emperor's favor?
31:12I tell you, I will definitely take away your favor.
31:16Just wait and see.
31:17After saying that, Parker Emily left with her maids and eunuchs in a fierce manner.
31:22Later, it was heard that Parker Emily voluntarily went to the Imperial Study to serve soup.
31:26This was impossible in the past.
31:28Parker Emily always thought of herself as the daughter of the Prime Minister, with a noble status,
31:33and looked down upon other concubines in the palace, thinking that their serving of tonics
31:37and soup to the Emperor was just flattery.
31:39She never expected that she would now lower herself to do such a thing.
31:43But she didn't expect that the Emperor still came to my courtyard that night.
31:46Miss, what do you want to buy?
31:52I'm not buying anything.
31:53I'm selling something.
31:56What are you selling, Miss?
31:58I'm selling myself.
32:00Sixteen years ago, when my mother was pregnant with me,
32:03she went back to our hometown with my father to pay homage to our ancestors.
32:07However, they encountered bandits on the way.
32:10My mother, in order to save my father, led the bandits away by herself.
32:14My father was rescued, but my mother, although she was saved in the end,
32:17was violated by the bandits while she was pregnant with me.
32:21The bandits had no humanity.
32:23Everyone said that my mother should have hanged herself with a rope after losing her virtue,
32:27but she refused.
32:28For the sake of me in her womb, she struggled to live on.
32:31My father, for the sake of his reputation,
32:34couldn't divorce her himself because it was my mother who saved him.
32:37If he divorced her, it would be seen as a breach of faith,
32:40which would hinder his official career,
32:41so he had my mother sent to a dilapidated and abandoned farm outside the capital,
32:45claiming it was to let her rest in peace and avoid gossip while she was pregnant.
32:49But that farm was in a state of disrepair and long abandoned.
32:52It was far from a good place to rest and give birth.
32:55After half a year when my mother was forgotten by everyone,
32:58my father remarried his teacher's daughter in a grand ceremony.
33:01On the day of his new marriage, my mother gave birth to me.
