"Nianqin, have you heard? The emperor woke up because you made him release a mouthful of blood. Your reward will come soon. You saved the emperor. You are truly like a reincarnated god. The people are all waiting for you to treat them."
"What? That's just some medical common sense these days, everyone knows it. The emperor is constantly accompanied by so many concubines, so he must be in poor health. I just said what I had to say. As for whether he would be executed, I don't care. All I know is that if someone in this dynasty is unhappy, someone must stand up and question it, so that life can slowly catch up with the modern world. Could it be that I have turned a disaster into a blessing?"
"Nianqin, come and take a look! The gifts sent by the Emperor have arrived. They are made of the finest silk. You should have changed your clothes long ago. They are too dirty and so light that they will fly away in the wind."
"You don't understand, Cao Hanhui. This is made of the most fashionable chiffon. It doesn't restrict me at all when I wear it. It's like I'm not wearing anything at all."
"Hush, Nianqin, please be careful with your words. This is in the palace, not outside. If you say something wrong, you will be executed."
"That's why everyone is not equal. Why do we have to kneel down to the emperor and empress? When will they admit their mistakes? They take so much money, but in the end they don't do anything for us, the people. There are still many girls who contribute. Why are their jobs limited to just a few? You know, nowadays you can change careers. If you're not satisfied with this job, you can do something else. But in ancient times, girls were lucky to have a job."
“Nianqin!!”
As soon as Cao Hanhui finished speaking, the queen walked in.
"Your name is Ji Nianqin? It sounds like a low-class name to you. What? Do you want to be on equal footing with me, the queen?"
"Tsk, you're so old, I'm still young. Besides, I've been on TV before, whether it was a TV shopping show, the leading actress, or an extra. In short, even the ancient soldiers who traveled back in time have seen more of the world than you, the queen, who are always particular about this and that. I'm not against normal respect for the elderly and love for the young, but men can't be superior to women, right? Just because the prince is younger than me, do I have to give in to him?"
"What are you mumbling about? Speak louder."
"Of course I dare. I'm the chairman of the board, and the prince is just the general manager, one level younger than me. I usually call him Tai to give him face. If we return to the modern era, I'll just call him brother. You want to kill me? Don't you even see how many hairs he has on his head? He can't even afford a down jacket, and the eco-friendly fur he's wearing is from my store. And that handbag of his, he almost wears a cheongsam."
"You damned girl, I'm going to slap you in the face today. Do you think you're so cocky just because the Emperor sees you as a promising talent? Actually, you're clueless. If I flatter you too much, you'll become ungrateful. So, kneel down and I'll teach you what it means to be a man of high and low status."
"I won't kneel. Are you saying I come from a bad background? My family grows vegetables. After I disappeared, my mother worked to find me and washed clothes for a wealthy family. Her eyesight has deteriorated. But my family has earned a living with our own hands for generations. What's so shameful about that? You, on the other hand, are exploiting the people. You do nothing all day long but beat people up..."
"Oh no, there's a fire!"
