I had never expected that I could become a concubine or a fifth-rank imperial concubine all of a sudden.

Nanzhi felt nothing in her heart and even agreed with the emperor's words.

She just felt that the emperor was quite unkind. He made her the target of public criticism and yet he was unwilling to add another dish.

tsk...

The emperor said: "Although you cannot be promoted to concubine, you can be promoted to Chongyi. From now on, you will be Jiang Chongyi."

Nanzhi quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his hand and gave her a false helping hand, "Get up, this way, I won't be deceiving you."

Nanzhi smiled. It was surprising that such a dull person smiled like that. The emperor said, "You should smile more often."

Nanzhi looked dull on the outside and dull on the inside. She smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

But the emperor didn't hear her.

Why do you talk so little?

If it were any other concubine, she would have come up to him and shown her courtesy at this time, but she just stood there stupidly, looking at him without saying a word.

emperor:……

It really is a piece of wood.

The emperor even had to take the initiative to find a topic and asked Jiang Cainu, no, now Jiang Chongyi, "What is your wish?"

wish?

Nanzhi tilted her head, thinking, with a dull and cute look, "Yes, I want to live in the palace until I die of old age."

Before, the emperor had listened to her inner thoughts, and when he heard her speak them out loud, he felt that, well, as it stood at the moment, Jiang Chongyi seemed to be a person who spoke what she thought.

This wish sounds very unambitious, just to survive in the palace, but if you think about it carefully, this wish is actually very difficult.

In the palace, even the emperor cannot guarantee that he will live to the end of his life.

Not to mention a concubine.

Concubines are consumables and their scrapping time is uncertain.

Even the emperor could not grant this wish.

It's fine to have gold, silver and jewelry, but for these kinds of things, even if you are an emperor, if you want to make sure a person dies peacefully, the cost is hard to calculate.

  It’s not that she is not greedy, but she is too greedy!

The emperor changed the subject, "If you become a Chongyi, you can have more dishes on your table, and you can also have ice and charcoal."

Nanzhi smiled widely, "These are all given to me by your majesty. Thank you, your majesty. I am very grateful."

The joy of having multiple dishes and the love for just one dish made the emperor couldn't help but curl his lips.

The emperor was extremely wealthy, so it was difficult for him to be upset over a dish.

But someone like Nanzhi, who basically has nothing, can be happy as long as she has a little bit of something.

The starting point is too low, so the threshold is low. The emperor's threshold is too high. After he has the ability to read minds, there are not many surprises when it comes to matters between men and women.

Only fluctuations and exploration make people feel interesting.

People pursue stability, but they don't like stability and dullness.

The emperor's current pleasure is to explore Jiang Chongyi's inner world. Once he has explored and understood it, there will be no pleasure anymore.

Essentially, he wanted to prove that this dull woman was just like the women in the harem.

"Today, I will have dinner in your palace." said the emperor.

Nanzhi said directly: "Your Majesty, you may not be used to my meal. Your Majesty can go and have the imperial meal."

This is probably just a posturing, wanting better food and treatment.

The emperor leaned slightly closer to the woman, wanting to listen to her thoughts.

I heard her complain about the Imperial Household Department deceiving their superiors and those below them, complaining that they flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, and that she would make them pay the price.

But there was nothing, no sound, nothing.

Has my mind-reading ability failed? Why can't I hear Jiang Chongyi's inner voice?

why?

The emperor asked again: "Do you think the imperial kitchen deliberately sent you bad food?"

Nanzhi: "I don't think so. There is no need for them to target me." We are really poor. There is no need for them to do so. We can't extort any money.

Every time I am reluctant to spend money to eat something delicious.

emperor:……

Every concubine would say these words, but the problem was that he could hear the concubines' true thoughts.

But I couldn't hear Jiang Chongyi's thoughts.

  Starting to get annoyed!

When the imperial kitchen heard that the emperor was going to have a meal in Changchun Palace, they immediately took action and sent the imperial meal to Changchun Palace. As for Jiang Cainu's meals, they naturally could not be as sloppy as before.

Palace servants came in and out one after another, carrying food boxes in their hands. Su Rong was standing at the other door with a ferocious look on his face and the handkerchief in his hand was torn into shreds.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty actually had dinner with Jiang Cainü.

Let’s get up and eat!

Why!

What on earth did Jiang Cainü do to offend His Majesty?

She has no looks, no family background, and no talent. Why? Why on earth?

If the queen is like this, why is it that Jiang Cainu is also like this?

Nanzhi looked at the table full of imperial food, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in her heart, "This is the first time I've seen such a sumptuous meal."

The voice was extremely loud, "Your Majesty eats really well!"

The emperor finally heard the real voice, and as expected, he was very excited and seemed very ignorant.

But the emperor liked to see people making a fuss.

He is used to it, but others cannot get it.

He curled his lips and said, "Come here, sit down and eat together."

Nanzhi hesitated and asked, "Is it really possible?"

Emperor: "It's all right if I say so."

Nanzhi then stood beside the emperor and said, "I will serve the food to your majesty."

"No, there are others to serve you. Please sit down and eat with me."

Nanzhi bowed and sat down quickly, looking at the table with shining eyes. The emperor smiled and said, "Eat."

Nanzhi smiled shyly, his hands never stopping, with only two words in his mind, 'delicious, delicious, delicious...'

Hearing the delicious food, the emperor ate the ordinary meal and thought it tasted good, so he ate more.

After dinner, the emperor asked again: "Do you have any hobbies or specialties? What do you like in your daily life?"

Nanzhi shook her head, "I am an ordinary person with no hobbies. I usually like to mend clothes in the palace."

emperor:……

Such a uneventful life.

Emperor: "Then can you read on weekdays?"

Nanzhi: "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent."

Emperor: "...Apart from these, do you like hunting on horseback?"

Nanzhi: "My family cannot afford a horse, and I am too weak to shoot arrows and hunt."

Emperor: ...It is unnecessary for me to ask these questions.

Emperor: "In two months we will be able to go hunting in autumn. Would you like to go hunting with me?"

Nanzhi: "I can't do anything to disturb your majesty's interest."

The emperor listened to her calm words, without any thoughts, feeling frustrated and unwilling to accept.

The emperor said directly: "If you don't know how to shoot arrows, go and learn. You can also learn how to ride a horse."

Nanzhi looked apprehensive, "Your Majesty, can I do this? Can a person like me also sit on horseback and shoot arrows to hunt?"

[This kind of heroic and dashing demeanor is only possessed by a person like Your Majesty. Can I really do it? Will I disappoint Your Majesty?] (End of this chapter)
