Being stared at, Nanzhi looked around, then pointed at herself blankly, "Me, me?"

"I am favored?"

Everyone:...

This confused and stupid look is unbearable to look at.

No, what kind of vision does the emperor have?

Many concubines withdrew their gazes. How could such a mentally retarded person be favored?

Otherwise, they would really doubt the emperor's vision.

So many people were waiting outside Fengyi Palace, but the Queen did not have time to pay her respects in advance, so she asked people to wait outside.

Nanzhi guessed that the Salted Fish Queen might still be lying in bed.

I will definitely come on time next time, otherwise I will get sick easily if I keep waiting in such hot weather.

All the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects, as everyone knew that only by seeing the Queen could they see the Emperor.

Even if there is a tiny glimmer of hope, we cannot give up.

Now the concubines are filled with insecurity and hope to gain the emperor's favor to ensure that they will not be driven out of the palace again.

But so what?

After all, even the concubines who gave birth were driven out of the harem. Being favored by the emperor did not mean that you could stay well in the palace.

From ancient times to the present, there have been emperors who were unwilling to take concubines, but no emperor has ever driven away concubines from the palace.

This matter is simply indescribable...

"My Lords, please come in..."

The female official spoke and everyone went in immediately because it was too hot outside.

I don’t know if the Queen did it on purpose or not, but she asked people to wait outside.

The Queen and her concubines were all going through the process, and everyone seemed distracted.

The queen wanted to quickly finish this useless greeting process, while the concubines were secretly hoping that the emperor would come.

Obviously, it was disappointing that the Emperor did not come. He came yesterday to support the Empress by helping her suppress these restless concubines.

I didn't come today.

When the Queen said some polite words and announced the adjournment of the meeting, everyone was reluctant to leave and lingered in Fengyi Palace, not very willing to leave.

Perhaps if we wait a little longer, His Majesty will come.

  Nanzhi was also dawdling, eating something quietly. You have to say, the food in the Queen's Palace is delicious!

The pastries at her position were the least in number, and most of them were untouched.

It looks like a waste, Nanzhi even wants to pack it up.

Su Rong had been keeping an eye on her the whole time. Seeing her eating with her face covered by her sleeves, her expression was indescribable.

Is he just pretending, or is he really that hungry, like there is a famine?

This is the imperial palace, not those poor people outside who can’t even afford to eat. It’s a shame to be associated with them.

Nanzhi felt Su Rongzai's gaze and smiled at her, even inviting her with her eyes, asking if she wanted to eat.

Su Rong immediately looked away.

The virtuous concubine saw this scene, she smiled and said, her face was beautiful and stunning: "Jiang Cainu likes the snacks in the Queen's Palace so much, why not let the Queen give you more."

Nanzhi grinned, feeling that eating something was a huge shame.

Without waiting for Nanzhi to speak, Concubine Xian said to the Queen who was about to enter the inner hall: "Your Majesty, Jiang Cainu likes the snacks in your palace. Your Majesty is kind, why don't you give her some?"

The queen's eyes flashed with confusion when she was called, and then she was a little helpless. She said, "Send some to Jiang Cainu later."

Nanzhi immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam."

She turned around and saluted to Concubine Xian again, "Thank you, Concubine Xian."

The looks around were full of ridicule and contempt, and it was obvious that Nanzhi was regarded as a joke.

Su Rong felt particularly uncomfortable and embarrassed for others, but seeing Jiang Cainu still indifferent, he felt even more embarrassed. On the way back, Shanhu whispered to Nanzhi: "Master, they, they all..."

  I look down on you, and, master, you are really losing face by doing this!

Nanzhi asked back, "Are the cakes delicious?"

Coral nodded. "It's delicious."

Nanzhi: “As long as it tastes good.”

  There's something wrong with the people in this palace!

If you are not in the palace, but in this place at the pinnacle of power, you are truly the best of the best and have power.

These concubines had never touched anything needed for making pastries.

They don't touch the necessary food, rice, flour, oil, and sugar, and they don't get involved in the production process either. Although it's just a piece of dessert, it contains the crystallization of an entire era and industry.

How can you easily mock people who eat cakes? Am I eating cakes?

How can they be ashamed so easily?

In this harem, everyone is just floating around. They don’t learn their lesson even after being kicked out once.

They are all moss on the scepter, which is easily peeled off, but they think they are also part of the scepter.

What they pursue are nothing more than higher-end and more precious things, while pastries seem so low-class and petty.

In fact, they are just asking for the scepter.

The palace maids from Fengyi Palace brought some snacks. Before leaving, they said, "If you like these snacks, I will bring them to you often in the future."

There is no need to eat in front of so many people.

  Nanzhi: ...Then why are you putting it there?

It’s laid out but you’re not allowed to eat it!

Is this what the Queen meant?

Nanzhi immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Aunt Qiushui."

Nanzhi first smelled the pastries to make sure there was no strange smell before eating some. She gave the rest to the two palace maids. The weather was getting hotter and the cakes would go bad over time.

Changchun Palace was silent, as if it were an empty palace. Firstly, it was too hot for people to move, and secondly, the people living inside did not interact with each other.

Su Rong disliked Jiang Cainü more and more. He tried to stay as far away from her as possible and probably wanted to move out of Changchun Palace.

When he saw Nanzhi, he turned his head away and pretended not to see her.

Nanzhi wanted to laugh, and she didn't know whether Su Rong was ashamed or not. Concubines of their level did not have any cakes in their meals.

Seeing that others disliked her, Su Rong also disliked her. It was true that others disliked her, and she didn't care.

You don’t have anything, so what are you complaining about?

In the evening, Nanzhi ate early and prepared to rest. After all, lamp oil costs money.

It's really not much money.

Entering the palace is an investment. Most people lose money and even their lives.

You have to take good care of your health. The original owner's health was not very good. He had some emotional illness and was depressed.

Get more than ten hours of sleep every day first.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

A sudden voice sounded outside Changchun Palace, making the palace seem even quieter, and then it became boiling.

Su Rong almost trotted to the palace gate and saluted with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Looking at the emperor's handsome face, flickering under the light, he looked extremely mysterious and full of majestic power.

Su Rong's heart was beating rapidly and she felt dizzy. She felt that happiness came too suddenly.

The emperor suddenly came to Changchun Palace.

Is it finally her turn to be so rich?

The emperor looked at the woman in front of him, listened to her passionate and ambitious voice, and immediately frowned. (End of this chapter)
