Chapter 1645 Mind Reading 64

"Shhhhh..."

The snow-white sword blade made a sound when it rubbed against the air, accompanied by bursts of piano music.

"Zheng..."

The sword was retracted and held behind Nanzhi's back. The sound of the piano also faded away, leaving only a lingering sound.

Lin Guiren pressed the strings of the zither and smiled at Nanzhi who was dancing with the sword. "Our cooperation is getting better and better."

Concubine Jiang was stubborn, but she worked very hard. She practiced swordplay every day and asked others for advice. She became quite good at swordplay. At least when she danced, she was gentle yet strong.

Not to mention anything else, just Concubine Jiang's initiative and drive are something that Concubine Lin knows she can't match.

It’s better to lie down than to study these tiring things.

Noble Lady Lin felt that she was weak in energy, while Concubine Jiang seemed to have endless energy and was full of vigor.

What a pity, it’s not a man.

If a man...

Concubine Lin shook her head. Why think about these things? There is no if in the world.

Nanzhi smiled and said, "Sister, you play the piano so beautifully. If it were me, I would never be able to play it as well as you do in my lifetime."

"Sweet mouth."

"You want to learn, I will teach you. You can learn to ride a horse, shoot arrows and wield a sword, so why can't you learn to play the piano?"

"We'll play together from now on."

Nanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, sister, I will learn from you, but I want to learn the flute. Sister plays the piano and I play the flute."

"When the time comes, let's play together. Sister, please don't look down on me for being stupid."

Concubine Lin immediately said, "Let me find it for you. I think I brought a jade flute into the palace."

Not long after, Concubine Lin came with a green flute made of jadeite, which was extremely beautiful and precious.

Nanzhi hesitated and said, "Sister, this is very precious."

"It doesn't matter if it's precious or not. It's useless if you just leave it there."

Nanzhi took the flute, feeling its smooth and delicate touch, and thanked her, "Thank you, sister."

"I'll teach you to play the flute."

  When the emperor came at night, he saw two concubines gathered together, mumbling something, and playing jade flutes.

But the sound is unpleasant and very harsh.

Seeing the emperor coming, Concubine Lin bowed and left tactfully.

The emperor looked at the flute, "Are you learning to play the flute?"

Nanzhi said embarrassedly: "I want to learn a musical instrument."

The emperor suddenly said, "You come to this palace as if you were in a school."

Learn horse riding and archery, learn sword dancing and flute playing.

She is truly a studious concubine. Unlike other women in the harem, she focuses all her attention on vying for favor, fame and fortune.

Nanzhi lowered her head, as if she was feeling a little inferior, and said, "I have a bad appearance and nothing, but I am lucky to be able to enter the palace and serve Your Majesty. I want to become better."

The emperor was interested: "What happens after becoming better and more outstanding?"

Nanzhi lowered his head even lower, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Your Majesty can look at me more often."

Emperor: "What? I didn't hear it."

Nanzhi turned around and said, "I didn't say anything."

The emperor did not ask any more questions. With a smile on his face, he just said, "Dance with the sword for me."

"it is good."

Nanzhi picked up the long sword hanging on the palace wall, unsheathe the scabbard, and began to dance with the sword.

The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at her, watching her flying up and down, slashing with the sword, and the sword tassel dancing like a dragon.

She lacks strength, but is very graceful and nimble. She cannot really kill people with a sword, so at most she can be used for viewing.

The emperor thought about it and realized that in the harem, even the daughters of military generals were gentle and virtuous, and had no heroic spirit at all.

Nanzhi wiped the sweat off her face, her eyes bright and she looked at the emperor expectantly, "Your Majesty, how was my dance?" The emperor put down his teacup, "Not bad, it's not easy for you."

Learning something is not that easy.

Although she is stupid, the way she studies so hard makes people happy.

Maybe, everyone likes to work hard.

Especially those who try hard to please themselves.

  Isn't it just to please myself that Concubine Jiang worked hard to learn these things?

Nanzhi was delighted by the compliment and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am so happy."

"I just praised you and you're so happy."

Nanzhi nodded and said as a matter of course: "Of course I am happy. I do these things because I hope Your Majesty will be happy. If Your Majesty is happy and praises me, I will be very happy too."

The emperor couldn't help but sneer, "You are too easy to satisfy."

That's it?

Nanzhi: "I am happy that Your Majesty can see me."

The emperor suddenly thought that he had done so much for the queen, but the queen didn't seem to make any effort to do anything for him.

Even love is rarely expressed.

Maybe it was expressed, but it was all very vague and love was never mentioned.

The emperor used to think that they should be in sync with each other in this matter.

  But is telepathy real?

The emperor cared very much about what a person said and thought, but he never seemed to care about his behavior.

Only through behavior can one be prepared to express one's thoughts.

The emperor suddenly slapped his forehead. Ever since he had the ability to read minds, he could see through the treacherous thoughts of the women in the harem at a glance.

But many times, people's behavior is ignored.

The emperor narrowed his eyes in thought. The queen's behavior...

Queen...

She always had to endure it passively. Whether it was becoming a favorite concubine or a queen, everything was given by him.

He never cared about his own efforts, nor did he care about the queen's return to him.

However, people always want to get something in return for their efforts.

Without feedback, without positive feedback, it would be difficult to persevere.

The emperor now vaguely felt why he felt powerless in front of the queen, and even had an indescribable uneasiness.

Perhaps he was worried that he might appear too excited and burden the queen, who would think he was seeking repayment for her kindness.

But the emperor thought that he had done so much and did not ask for anything in return, but only for understanding.

Suddenly, the emperor became emo and said, "Bring me some wine."

When the wine was brought up, the emperor began to drink it. The more he drank, the more depressed he became, and he pulled Nanzhi to drink with him.

Nanzhi did not follow suit, but just took a sip of the wine and watched the emperor drink, watching a drunken blush appear on his face.

The emperor kept talking, mumbling something, and it was hard to hear clearly. Nanzhi moved her ears and kept the emperor's words in mind.

The drunk emperor mentioned the queen the most times, and his tone expressed resentment and a hint of dissatisfaction with the queen.

Nanzhi saw the eunuch was hesitant and seemed to want to persuade him, so she spoke first, "Your Majesty, you are drunk, don't drink anymore, you have to attend the court tomorrow."

Nanzhi also instructed Shanhu: "Tomorrow morning, make a hangover soup."

"Yes."

The emperor was helped to his bed. He tolerated the wine well and did not go crazy or vomit. He fell into a sound sleep.

Early the next morning, the emperor had a splitting headache. Drinking the sobering soup didn't help much, and he rubbed his eyebrows.

He looked unhappy, and looked at Nanzhi with a probing look in his eyes, "I didn't say anything because I was drunk."

Nanzhi shook her head, "No, this concubine and Eunuch Wang have been taking care of Your Majesty."
