Watching the thick ink spread out in circles, Youqing suddenly felt that these days were boring, and she still wanted to go out and see the world.
She could sense that Kangxi didn't truly love her; he only doted on her. Also, it seemed that Kangxi heard the system's voice when they first met, which always made Youqing uneasy.
The system is indeed a cheat code, but besides ensuring she has enough to eat and wear, it doesn't grant her the ability to fly or teleport, and she's still not exactly healthy.
Kangxi intended to tell her to stop, but when he turned his head and saw that she was lost in thought, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Youqing snapped out of her reverie, not looking at Kangxi, but still staring at the inkstone, her hands still moving, and said, "I was wondering why Your Majesty asked me to move out of Jingyang Palace."
Kangxi put down his brush and took the ink stick from her hand. Youqing looked at Kangxi with a puzzled expression.
Why do you think I moved you out of Jingyang Palace?
Youqing shook her head: "I don't understand."
Kangxi stared at Youqing, hoping she would confess her secret to him, but Youqing still looked bewildered.
How have I treated you?
Youqing lowered her head and said, "His Majesty treats his concubines very well."
It's just that one of them didn't give this "kindness" sincerely enough, and the other accepted it perfunctorily.
What image do you have of me?
"His Majesty is indeed exceptionally brave and skilled in both literature and military strategy."
"Then do you admire me?"
Youqing was taken aback by his words, and lowered her head even further, no longer looking into Kangxi's eyes: "This concubine naturally admires Your Majesty."
Hesitated; what a little liar.
To be honest, this was the first time Kangxi had ever asked a woman if she loved him! He had always been a clear-headed observer, cooperating when he was happy and remaining indifferent when he was not.
Emperors do not need love. Given the example of his father, the emperor, he is even less able to indulge in love.
At this point, the conversation had strayed from the question Youqing wanted to know, and Youqing realized that Kangxi seemed to be intentionally changing the subject, so she stopped bringing it up.
"Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, and I, like all the sisters in the harem, sincerely admire him."
Is it true that you genuinely admire her?
It's like a joke.
