She lifted her skirt and walked behind Nanzhi, her voice sweet and coquettish, "Your Majesty, I miss you so much. Why haven't you visited me in so long?"
As she spoke, she tried to shake Xiao Lanchuan's arm and act coquettishly.
Xiao Lanchuan frowned and avoided the question.
What do you smell like?
Qin Jingyi smelled it and said, puzzled, "It's the wisteria fragrance that the Emperor bestowed upon us."
"If you smoke it too much, it'll taste like cured meat."
Qin Jingyi blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Nanzhi almost burst out laughing.
"Listen to me, go back and wash yourself properly, and come see me when you're no longer smelly."
Qin Jingyi felt ashamed and lowered her head, about to leave, but then she remembered something and came back.
"Your Majesty, I find this palace maid very considerate. May I take her back with me?"
She pointed to Nanzhi, a hint of smugness in her eyes.
She was pregnant once last year, but she miscarried. However, she was the only one in the harem to conceive, and she has been favored ever since.
She is highly fertile, and I believe that as long as she tries, she will definitely conceive another child.
Xiao Lanchuan's gaze was as gentle as ever, but the words he uttered were icy cold: "You want to take away my savior?"
Qin Jingyi's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty, I just... I just think she's quite nice."
Qin Jingyi is a paper tiger.
She knew that Xiao Lanchuan had been somewhat tyrannical lately, and dared not provoke him at all.
If Nanzhi hadn't stayed here for a month and made her feel threatened, she wouldn't have come to ask for people back.
"I also think she's quite good." Xiao Lanchuan looked at Nanzhi with deep affection. "Why don't we bestow upon her the title of..."
He deliberately dragged out his words, and amidst Qin Jingyi's nervous expression, slowly and deliberately said, "A palace maid before the emperor."
Was she just a palace maid?
Judging from Xiao Lanchuan's expression, Qin Jingyi almost thought he was going to make Nanzhi a concubine.
She was terrified.
She knew that Nan Zhi, a lowly maid, could never possibly win Xiao Lanchuan's favor.
She took her leave, satisfied.
But once she returned to her own Yaohua Palace, the more she thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.
Yulan reminded her, "Your Highness, that slut is quite pretty. If she becomes a palace maid, she can see the Emperor every day. What if she seduces him?"
Qin Jingyi was slow to react, but when she came to her senses, she anxiously twisted her handkerchief tightly: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Yulan thought for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
Nan Zhi discovered that Xiao Lan Chuan was really difficult to please.
Despite being a palace maid serving the emperor, she was made to hold up a canopy that only eunuchs could lift.
The reason is—
"I see you are quite strong. When you came to save me, you even knocked over my furnace. With such good conditions, it would be a pity not to use them to support the imperial canopy."
Nan Zhi recalled how the original owner was terrified and fled desperately, accidentally knocking over a cauldron at the banquet in her panic.
Why does Xiao Lanchuan's gaze seem to see right through her?
After tremblingly thanking the emperor for his great favor, she accepted the canopy from the eunuch's hands.
The weight of that catch almost bent her over.
Xiao Lanchuan smiled: "Hold on tight. If you hit me, the debt of saving my life will not outweigh the lives of your entire clan."
Nanzhi:……
Little pervert.
Nan Zhi struggled to hold it, nearly hitting Xiao Lanchuan several times, but managed to steady herself.
[Little Twig, you currently have ten points. Would you like to borrow a few more to exchange for a Strength Potion?]
"Borrow a few more?"
[189. Very cheap. If you don't have points, you can redeem them with your cash.]
How do I redeem it?
If it's only 189 yuan, she can exchange more.
【One hundred and eighty-nine thousand. 】
Nan Zhi smiled, trying to hold back, but couldn't help herself and burst out cursing: "...Do you think my money grows on trees?"
It takes ten million to have a baby, but she has to spend that much money to exchange for points.
She strongly suspected that she was not bound to a childbirth system, but rather a money-grabbing system.
Evil capitalists.
"Get out of here, don't bother me."
003 thought that since she was so rich, she would definitely be willing to exchange it, but after being scolded by her, it curled up into a ball, feeling a little wronged, and rolled away.
Nan Zhi didn't want to die so soon. She looked at Xiao Lan Chuan, who looked completely at ease, gritted her teeth, swayed, and her hand, holding the Chinese gaiwan, fell to the ground. She fainted at his feet.
Xiao Lanchuan looked at the person who had rolled to his feet and kicked him twice.
No response.
Was it not an act?
Jiang Fulai was terrified by what he saw and turned pale. He was about to have Nanzhi carried away when he saw Xiao Lanchuan, who had been kicking people just a second ago, bend down and pick Nanzhi up from the ground.
"Heart disease?"
"Can't do strenuous exercise?"
Thinking of what Chen Weizhi had said, Xiao Lanchuan reached out and poked the person lying motionless on the couch.
Her face was pale, and her eyelashes drooped pitifully.
It seems like he really wasn't faking it.
He still didn't quite understand how, given his heart condition, he could have run so fast when he escaped.
Could it be... that she is truly hopelessly in love with him?
Xiao Lanchuan was in a good mood and pinched Nanzhi's soft cheeks. "Alright, since you admire me so much, should I bestow upon you the title of Noble Consort?"
After Nan Zhi woke up, she heard that Xiao Lan Chuan wanted to bestow upon her the title of Noble Lady.
She was so frightened that she immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, this servant does not wish to be a Noble Lady."
Xiao Lanchuan's smile vanished, and he asked, word by word, "What did you say?"
Nanzhi noticed the dangerous glint in his eyes and quickly explained, "Once I become a Noble Lady, I won't be able to see the Emperor as often. I will miss him."
Xiao Lanchuan's eyes were fixed on Nanzhi, who was looking at him with deep affection, and he looked at her again and again.
