"Don't you want to get more sweets to win over concubine mother?" Li Hongyuan persuaded gently, "In recent years, there's very little that concubine mother truly cares about."
Jiang Ning remained unmoved: "That's what makes it precious due to its scarcity. If she's completely satisfied, she wouldn't value it anymore, would she?"
"Do you use the same tactic with concubine mother?"
"Why not?" Jiang Ning glanced at him, "The things I make are indeed delicious. Your Emperor Father loves them, concubine mother likes them, and your nephew likes them even more. In this life, who wouldn't crave that?"
"Well, maybe not to that extent."
"That's just because you don't understand," Jiang Ning said leisurely, "For you, food isn't the most important thing because you have other desires, such as power and the Imperial Throne. But for your Emperor Father and concubine mother, they have already experienced the best things the world has to offer and have no other pursuits."
