soon.
Lan Changzai carried the osmanthus cakes inside.
I happened to see Ye Ling having a meal with Consort Jin.
Lan Changzai pretended to know nothing.
He immediately paid his respects to the Emperor.
"Greetings to His Majesty, and greetings to Consort Jin!"
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty was unaware that Your Majesty was here. I am filled with trepidation."
There is no need to be alarmed.
Anyway, you did it on purpose.
What are you so scared of!
Ye Ling asked Lan Changzai.
"Did you come here to see Consort Jin?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I made osmanthus cakes because I wanted to share some with you!"
"You're really thoughtful," Consort Jin said.
"Your Majesty, now that my sister is here, shall we have her dine with us?"
Ye Ling nodded.
"Please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Sister."
Lan Changzai was overjoyed.
He sat down next to the emperor.
Very good.
My hard work finally paid off!
He successfully met with the Emperor.
The Emperor has been captivated by my sword practice.
Right now, what's more important is to attract the Emperor even more.
My osmanthus cake is absolutely amazing.
The Emperor will surely love it.
Consort Jin opened the box.
I looked at the osmanthus cake inside.
"This osmanthus cake looks delicious!"
"My sister's cooking skills are very good."
Lan Changzai immediately said.
"When my younger sister was at home, I learned how to make osmanthus cake because my father loved it."
Lan Changzai said this on purpose.
She's trying to cultivate a persona of filial piety.
To make the emperor like him more.
really.
Ye Ling quickly replied.
"You are quite filial."
Lan Changzai immediately responded.
"As a daughter, this is what I should do."
[Nonsense, everyone knows that, why do you keep saying it?]
Don't think this is a virtue. In Father's eyes, this is just something a normal person should do; it's not a virtue at all!
[Your true advantage lies in what attracts the Emperor, based on your etiquette. The harem is not lacking in women who are filial to their parents; having one more or one less wouldn't make a difference!]
Consort Jin tasted the osmanthus cake made by Consort Lan.
He nodded.
"Your Majesty, I am enjoying this osmanthus cake. It tastes quite good. Please try some."
Ye Ling nodded.
I took a bite too.
Lan Changyi looked at him expectantly.
Hoping Ye Ling will say something complimentary!
In this way, her position in Ye Ling's heart will become even higher.
Ye Ling put down her chopsticks.
Then say it.
"I saw you practicing swordsmanship in the Imperial Garden today, and I thought it was quite beautiful."
"So, I went to Chuxiu Palace to see you this afternoon, but you were taking a nap, so I left."
Lan Changzai immediately stood up.
He knelt down.
"Your Majesty, it was my fault. I should have served Your Majesty well. Your Majesty, please rest assured that such a thing will never happen again."
"It's alright. I thought you were just tired from practicing swordsmanship, so you took a rest. Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lan Changzai sat down tremblingly.
"If we're talking about women in the harem who know martial arts, Qingzhi's martial arts are the best."
“I once practiced swordsmanship with her, and her every move was no less than mine.”
"I wonder if Consort Lan would be willing to dance with me on a sword?"
Lan Changzai immediately said.
"Your Majesty, I am willing."
[You idiot!]
[What Father means is, do you have the martial prowess to fight Father? If you don't, then when you face Father, Father can simply kill you.]
Only when your martial arts foundation is truly sufficient will you be able to hold your own against your father.
【You're so easygoing, you just agreed right away! Hahahaha!】
Are you deliberately courting death?
Ye Ling listened to Ye Qianqian's inner thoughts.
I was filled with emotion.
If this girl were a concubine in the imperial harem, with her intelligence, she could definitely be promoted to the highest rank.
Consort Jin deliberately asked Ye Ling.
"Your Majesty, do you like this osmanthus cake?"
Ye Ling said calmly.
"It's too sweet. I don't like eating anything too sweet now."
Lan Changzai immediately spoke.
"Next time, I will put in less sugar."
Ye Ling did not continue the topic.
He quietly began to eat his meal.
Lan Changzai glanced at the dining table.
I'm a little confused.
If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor and Consort Jin were both there...
Lan Changzai would think that she was in the Cold Palace at this moment.
The food on the table was rather meager.
It was just some simple food, even steamed corn bread.
"Your Majesty, sister, I didn't expect the food to be so bland."
Ye Ling remained indifferent.
"I have never liked luxury. This kind of light diet is just right for me."
"Does Consort Lan find this food a bit meager?"
Where would Lan Chang dare to make such a comment?
He said immediately.
"No, no, Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty is doing a good job."
In reality, Lan Changzai was suffering inside.
Even back at her parents' home, she had never eaten such meager food.
She entered the palace seeking wealth and status.
