"I have no such plans."
"..."
"Ha-ha." The Emperor chuckled as he looked at him, "Speaking of it, you are the one who recommended Concubine Zhu to enter the palace, her promotion to noble concubine will also benefit you."
"Your Majesty is flattering me. Indeed, I did assist Concubine Zhu, but her future truly has nothing to do with me. As the Senior Grand Secretary, it is my duty to advise you."
"I have no plans to appoint any more noble concubines." The Emperor's enthusiasm waned, "I've been ignoring those people simply because I'm tired of it all. I've been emperor for so many years, constantly scrutinized by the officials, unable to make the slightest error. I'm human, not a god, truly I am exhausted. Why do they have to interfere so much? Isn't it annoying?"
Jiang Ruobai understood.
The Emperor was rebelling.
Considering the Emperor's age, wasn't his rebellious phase coming a little late?
Jiang Ruobai wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.
