Since Zheng Xiyao was named Concubine Chen, many unfamiliar people have come to her palace. First came the steward of the harem, who came to greet her and waited for her to arrange the work in the palace.
Then the harem ladies paid their respects. Except for Zhang Cairen, who claimed that he was in poor health, the remaining three people came, including the arrogant Xiao Jieyu.
"How come this tea is last year's old tea?" The first person to speak was the gorgeous Xiao Jieyu.
Zheng Xiyao: [Xiao Jieyu really does not disappoint. 】
Zheng Xiyao smiled and said: "It can be said that it is not the case. Of course it is not as good as Xiao Jieyu. Her family has a big business and is deeply favored by the emperor. This good tea is naturally close to Xiao Jieyu. I am not worthy of it."
Xiao Jieyu's face turned pale, and she placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table in an ugly manner. Water droplets splashed outside, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"Your Majesty, what you said is true. This old tea has the taste of old tea. As the saying goes, new is not as good as old, and it tastes different when you drink it." Wenwan Xie Ronghua, who was in Qingyi on the side, said to save the situation.
"No, Sister Xiao has been a noble person since she was a child, so naturally she has never tasted this. Concubine Chen also drank this kind of Chencha when she was a child. It has a different taste." This is the charming concubine Hui.
"Hahaha, you guys are so interesting." Zheng Xiyao looked at the women chattering away, worried that she would be angry, which was very funny.
Everyone looked at her in confusion. Zheng Xiyao was about to explain when a familiar voice came.
"Yao'er is so happy today, but if you encounter anything interesting, tell me about it." The emperor came over with a smile on his face. Adding a touch of warmth and softness to the originally cold emperor.
The male protagonist walked up to the main seat and waved his hand to exempt everyone from the rules. Sitting next to her, he grabbed Zheng Xiyao's hand, patted it a few times and asked, "Yao'er, you seem to be in a good mood today."
Zheng Xiyao took advantage of the situation and approached the male protagonist, ignoring the male protagonist's movement to avoid it, and said happily: "Isn't this the concubine who took last year's Chencha to entertain three sisters? Unexpectedly, Xiao Jieyu felt that she couldn't get used to it. Xie Ronghua and Hui concubine also thought that old tea tasted good. Chen concubine thought that this small cup of tea tastes different for everyone, which is very interesting."
"Oh, Yao'er said I'm so curious, give me a cup." He said and picked up the teapot on the table and took a cup.
The male protagonist's face gradually darkened after taking a sip. He put down the teacup heavily and shouted in a deep voice, "Wang Ning, send someone to bring this year's latest Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots to Funing Palace."
Wang Ning, the chamberlain's chief chamberlain, said: "Your Majesty, Gu Zhu Zisun only paid a tribute of a hundred strings this year, and now there are less than ten strings."
The Emperor: "Bring them all over. From now on, all new tea in the harem will be kept in Funing Hall first."
Manager; "Yes."
As the two men finished speaking, a strange silence filled the air. Zheng Xiyao looked around and saw that the three concubines had various expressions on their faces, and they could not hide their dissatisfaction.
Especially Xiao Jieyu, all the jealousy in her heart was on her face, and she stared at her fiercely. Zheng Xiyao didn't understand whether this Xiao Jieyu was abandoned by Grand Master Xiao. Otherwise, how could she send a daughter who was so happy to enter the palace? She really didn't learn anything from Grand Master Xiao's Shen Mansion.
Or does love blind people and lower their IQ?
But yes, the male protagonist’s appearance is not as good-looking as ordinary people can imagine! When he is not smiling, he is not angry and has an aura of authority, and his body exudes an irresistible aura of kingly domineering. When he looked at you, his dark and deep eyes seemed to be filled with deep affection, making it impossible to look away.
What's more, his handsome face is as handsome as a knife and an axe, just like a character walking out of a painting.
This world's most powerful person, a person with supreme power and wealth, is pretty good-looking, so how could anyone not like him?
If it weren't for the antecedent, Zheng Xiyao would probably be tempted.
Therefore, it is not good for a man to be too good-looking, because he will attract attention.
Zheng Xiyao thought and unconsciously squeezed the male protagonist's hand.
"Yao'er?"
The male protagonist thought Zheng Xiyao had something to say.
Zheng Xiyao came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so kind to me. Whenever your Majesty comes here from now on, I will make new tea sent by your Majesty."
"This is a good idea. I will be blessed in the future." As if he was interested, Liu Siyan rewarded him with some gold, silver, jewelry, jade, porcelain and the like.
"I got two new pots of green plums a few days ago. I'll have someone bring them to you later."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyao pretended to be happy and thanked her.
The male protagonist seemed to have completely forgotten about the others, as if he didn't care about the three women who were there and wanted him.
After sitting for a while, the emperor got what he wanted and left, and the others followed suit.
Zheng Xiyao didn't have any fluctuations in her heart. After seeing everyone off, she watched in boredom as the palace maid sorted out these useless rewards.
[Host, the male protagonist is so generous, giving so many good things. 】
[Isn’t that what the emperor’s favor is all about? ] Zheng Xiyao responded tiredly: [If you like, you can pick some. 】
[Really, host, you are so good. 】
The system danced excitedly, circling around the pile of gold and silver jewelry. Completely unaware of the indifference on Zheng Xiyao's face, she was staring out the window in ecstasy.
In her mind, she saw the male protagonist sitting next to him, looking very doting on her, and sending a bunch of useless things with a wave of his hand. Coming here today is like acting out a play, a play where I am obsessed with her and dote on her tirelessly.
She was completely promoted to the number one favorite concubine in the harem.
It seems that what he wants to do is coming to an end.
How long can she live? Zheng Xiyao smiled bitterly.
Zheng Xiyao said to the money-making system: "System, how many points are needed to redeem the antidote?"
[200 points are required to redeem the antidote. There are currently 100 points left. 】
[It seems that I am really poor] Zheng Xiyao sighed, and then asked [Are there any tasks that can earn points recently? 】
[Yes, it is possible, but given your current situation as the host, I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult. 】
【oh? What is it? 】Zheng Xiyao is a little curious.
[Reduce the darkening value of the male protagonist by 10%]
【What's this? 】Zheng Xiyao fainted, why does the male protagonist still have darkening value?
[This is actually because the main system discovered that the male protagonist of this world seems to have darkened beyond the threshold, and the world may be destroyed if it continues. so……】
[So you need me to risk my life to save your hero? 】
[How can you say that, host, don’t forget the reason why the male protagonist became like this. 】
The system's words reminded Zheng Xiyao that all this seemed to be because of her.
She had no reason to refuse.
