In a panic, the male protagonist's bun spread out, revealing his romantic style in the breeze, and his pair of dark and deep eyes shone with a blurry luster.

Zheng Xiyao indulged in it and cooperated with the male protagonist's behavior. But he inadvertently caught the evasive glances of the guards and maids around him.

"Your Majesty, there is...someone." She blushed, lowered her head and whispered quietly.

At this time, the male protagonist was still in a state of excitement. When he was suddenly interrupted, his face darkened. He looked around gloomily and coldly snorted: "Get out!"

The people around him were about to retreat tremblingly, but Zheng Xiyao quickly stopped them.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's go back." Zheng Xiyao lowered her head and tugged on the hero's sleeve and said.

The male protagonist's eyes fell on Zheng Xiyao's head. After a long silence, he regretfully replied: "Okay." At this time, the male protagonist did not notice that Zheng Xiyao's eyes flashed slightly when he lowered his head, cold and stubborn.

When she looked up again, she asked expectantly, "Your Majesty, are you happy today?"

After waiting for a long time, the male protagonist gently touched Zheng Xiyao's head: "Let's go."

Zheng Xiyao was a little disappointed when she didn't hear a satisfactory answer. The male protagonist seemed to have discovered a new world, his lips raised slightly.

He held Zheng Xiyao's hand and never let go.

[System, how is it? Has the blackening value dropped? 】Zheng Xiyao asked urgently.

[Host, you are working hard for points, this sacrifice...] The system teased.

[Stop talking nonsense and tell me the result. ] Zheng Xiyao said in a hoarse voice.

[Congratulations to the host, the male protagonist’s darkening value has been reduced by 10%, he has successfully completed the task and received 200 points. 】

[The male protagonist’s preference is really...] Zheng Xiyao looked like she couldn’t explain it, but when she heard the news that the mission was successful, she couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes, and she unconsciously squeezed the male protagonist’s hand.

"Why are you so happy?" Liu Siyan was very interested in seeing the woman's rich expression changes.

"Your Majesty was very kind to me today, and I like her very much."

"You like this?" the male protagonist asked.

"Your Majesty's skills are great, and I have benefited a lot from him." Zheng Xiyao praised seriously.

[Host, what are you talking about? 】The system was surprised.

[Don’t the male protagonist like this tone? If I praise his skills like this, he must be happier. 】Zheng Xiyao explained.

System: [Host, maybe you...understood it wrong. 】

Zheng Xiyao; [Huh? 】

She followed the system's gaze and raised her head to meet the male protagonist's thoughtful gaze, which was dangerous and charming.

[System, save me! system? 】

【Busy? 】

【? 】

[I want to download mosaic...]



The next day, noon.

Weiyang Palace.

[System, what time is it now? ] Zheng Xiyao asked sexy and lazily after being baptized by the wind and rain.

[A quarter past noon. 】The system answered mechanically.

【Ah. System, is there any medicine that can temporarily disable the male protagonist? 】

[Host, please maintain your character. It is illegal to actively harm the male protagonist. 】

【never mind. ] Zheng Xiyao looked bored, clicked on the system and glanced at the control panel [Add yesterday's points, now start redeeming the universal antidote. 】

[Okay, host. Start redeeming... Redemption successful. 】

Zheng Xiyao solved the problem of the antidote. Feeling hungry, she opened the bed curtain.

"You?" Zheng Xiyao looked at the two rows of palace maids kneeling outside the tent in shock.

"Your Majesty, I will help you wash up." Her maid Zhong Xin got up first and ordered two maids to wait on her.

Zhong Xin couldn't hide her joy; "Your Majesty feels sorry for your Majesty, and before leaving, he specifically told your slaves not to wake your Majesty. Serve her with care." Zheng Xiyao learned from Zhong Xin that these were the people who the Emperor specially cared for and left to serve her.

"He feels sorry for me? If he feels sorry for me, he won't let me get up just now." Zheng Xiyao complained in a low voice.

"Empress?"

"It's nothing." Zheng Xiyao accepted her fate and let the palace officials manipulate her.

Zheng Xiyao stood in front of the mirror, looking at the makeup that took an hour to complete.

She looked extremely beautiful in the mirror, graceful and luxurious, and she indeed looked like a favorite in the harem now.

But this exquisite appearance wrapped in gorgeous clothes and jewelry is like a perfect puppet, cold and boring.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Jieyu, Hui Bin and others have come to pay their respects." The palace maid at the door reported.

Sure enough, it still came, what was supposed to come still came.

Zheng Xiyao's eyes suddenly shone with light, as if she was a friend she hadn't seen for many years.

[Host, you are going to fight, you are so happy,]

[System, you are finally smart for once. 】

【You won't be...】

[In such a boring life, there is finally something interesting. 】

Zheng Xiyao came to the main hall excitedly regardless of everyone's obstruction.

Standing in the hall were all old acquaintances.

"See you, Concubine Chen. May your concubine be safe."

Zheng Xiyao skipped the four people, walked to the main seat and sat down before exempting everyone from the courtesy.

"It's really rare. How come you have time to stay here?" She looked at the people curiously and asked.

Although the male protagonist's harem is not as beautiful as the three thousand beauties in the former queen's palace, their appearance and figure are all top-notch.

Any one you pick out is a rare beauty.

Especially Xie Ronghua, Xie Fanghua, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, has a beautiful appearance, a cool temperament, and is elegant in every move and stillness. Compared to the beautiful Xiao Jieyu, she is no less generous.

But it seems that this person is not easy to talk to. She also came with him, which she didn't expect

After all, this person used to be very aloof.

"When I heard that the queen was back, I always thought of the time when we were together when we were young, so I came here to pay a visit to the queen." Xie Ronghua looked at Zheng Xiyao with clear eyes and said slowly.

Zheng Xiyao didn't expect this kind of answer. She pursed her lips and chuckled, noncommittal.

This is what Xie Ronghua cannot understand the most.

"It's not just Xie Ronghua who is talking about it. I, my concubine, Sister Xiao, and my empress have all known each other since they were young." Hui concubine then covered her mouth and smiled, gesturing to Xiao Jieyu who had been silent during the approval process.

Zheng Xiyao looked at these little actions in amusement, pretending to be nonchalant and waiting to see what they wanted to do.

"Last time in the Royal Garden, I was reckless and ignorant, and I bumped into the empress. I ask the empress to please forgive me in the light of past friendship."

Just look at the arrogant and domineering Xiao Jieyu, who stood up and kowtowed to her, her face still hard to hide her unruly look.

Zheng Xiyao was happy to see it: "Jieyu, what are you doing?" She waved her hand for the palace servants to help her up: "Your Majesty had already made a judgment on the matter at that time, why is it brought up again today?"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The woman stubbornly refused to get up, and the palace maid looked at her when she saw this.

For a long time, Xiao Jieyu didn't hear the voice that made her get up as she imagined. She raised her eyes and found Concubine Chen holding her chin and staring at her with a half-smile.

"Xiao Ruoxi, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to act like this." Zheng Xiyao looked at her with teasing eyes.

The woman kneeling in the hall was filled with shame and anger, and was about to explode. Suddenly, a gentle and sweet voice came from beside me: "Your Majesty, Sister Jieyu apologized so sincerely, how can you say that your Majesty is just acting? As a role model for the harem, it is really unfair to judge a person based on his personal likes and dislikes. "

Zheng Xiyao then turned her attention to the woman who spoke. How should I put it, the Xiaojiabiyu woman in front of me looks pure and innocent.

"Who are you?"

"My concubine, Mrs. Zhang, please see your empress."

"Ms. Zhang, are you Zhang Cairen? The emperor's savior?" Zheng Xiyao asked.

"I don't dare to be a concubine. Your Majesty was just framed by a villain, and I happened to meet you. Besides, Your Majesty is so blessed that he would be safe and sound even without me." Zhang Rulan explained sincerely.

'Villain' is really interesting, she couldn't be talking about her, right?

"Oh? Villain?" Zheng Xiyao chuckled: "Haha, you are right."

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean this. I made a mistake for a moment, please forgive me." Zhang Cairen suddenly kowtowed in panic and asked for forgiveness. Zheng Xiyao was stunned.

She subconsciously reached out to help her, but the woman completely avoided her and hid behind her. He looked like he was pushed and bullied by her.

Is this going to...?

What to do?

Before Zheng Xiyao could react, the familiar sound of footsteps made her instantly understand that Zhang Cairen in front of her was acting.
