After hearing Jiang Ranli's words, the anger emanating from Emperor Kangxi became even stronger. He looked at Jiang Ranli with serious and stern eyes and said in a deep voice, "Did you demote your rank? You are already a concubine, how much lower do you want to go?"
Below the concubine are maids and princesses. Jiang Ranli's current rank can be said to be a concubine, but in fact it is not much higher than concubines and princesses. If Yin'er had not doted on her, her life in the mansion would have been miserable with her rank.
However, there are only five women in Yin'er's mansion now. Because of the previous experiences of Dong E and Geng Gege, those women are very quiet and have never caused any trouble. Therefore, for Jiang Ranli, it makes no difference whether they are of rank or not.
In addition, Jiang Ranli also has selfish motives. She knows that in history, Yinzhen did not have a concubine or a concubine. Until now, she still doesn't know what role she played in this history. If Emperor Kangxi demoted her to a concubine or a princess, then would she really exist in history, or would the ending be changed?
It is really unsettling to be a person who does not exist in history.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran opened her mouth to answer Emperor Kangxi's rebuke, "In reply to Your Majesty, you can demote me to a concubine or a princess. I am willing to accept the punishment without any complaints."
Emperor Kangxi's face darkened, and he glared at Jiang Ranli with disappointment, "People often say 'people strive for higher positions', but look at you, you are useless."
Listening to Emperor Kangxi's rebuke, Jiang Ranli sniffed. If she were a real person in history, she would not want her rank to get lower and lower. Her current situation was too uncertain, and the more time passed, the more uneasy she felt.
She had never told anyone about her anxiety, but no one knew her fear better than her.
"Your Majesty is right," Jiang Ranli leaned over, put his forehead on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Kangxi.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Kangxi pushed away the memorial in front of him in annoyance and said in a deep voice, "Read "Female Training" and "Female Admonitions" fifty times each. You are not allowed to use a goose feather pen to cheat. Go away."
Jiang Ranli was completely confused at this moment. She had heard that being punished to copy "Female Training" and "Female Precepts" was nothing, but Emperor Kangxi actually forbade her to use a quill pen!
Then what should I use?
Writing with a brush? Wouldn’t that be the end of her life?
Although she has traveled to ancient times for seven or eight years, Jiang Ranli still cannot write calligraphy well because she relies on a quill pen. Now that Emperor Kangxi does not allow her to use a quill pen, she is completely overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty..."
"Concubine, please come this way..."
Jiang Ranli wanted to bargain with Emperor Kangxi, but was interrupted by Li Dequan, who issued an "expulsion order".
Looking at the solemn expression of Emperor Kangxi, Jiang Ranli pursed her lips and ultimately said nothing. She knew that even if she bargained, Emperor Kangxi would not agree, so she had no choice but to bow and leave the Yangxin Palace with Yinzhen.
"Don't worry, think carefully about what the emperor said just now. Did he say time?" Outside the palace, Yinzhen comforted Jiang Ranli.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli was suddenly enlightened. She remembered that Emperor Kangxi only said that he would punish her by copying "Female Training" and "Female Precepts" fifty times, but did not say when to check.
