After eating and drinking, Liu Man lay on the soft couch and read a storybook for a while before the afternoon draft started.
We had seen the power of the sun in the morning, so every palace lady prepared umbrellas and fans for sun protection when they went back, and they even brought pots of herbal tea to relieve the heat.
Even though it’s only the beginning of June, the sun is no less fierce than the dog days of summer.
Only Liu Man, who had missed the morning sun, was relaxed. Hua Wan Hua Ning behind her didn't have any sun protection tools in her hands. The only fan she had was for repelling insects.
Meng Yanyan put on the sun-shading veil that she commanded the palace maids to make with great effort. When she saw Liu Man walking in the sun without any protection, she sneered.
"I really don't know if it's because of her confidence or arrogance. This concubine Liu is barely visible with her fair skin. When she gets tanned, I'll see what else about her body can make the emperor take notice!"
System: [The heroine says you are a black egg. 】
Liu Man paused in her steps, raised her hand to look at her paws, which were whiter and tenderer than pig's trotters, then turned to look at the fully armed heroine, wishing that only one pair of eyes were exposed, she felt that she was really smart.
Who is the black egg?
She, Liu Man, just wanted to bask in the sun and take calcium supplements to grow taller because she felt she was too short!
As soon as the afternoon draft started, a few white clouds secretly covered the sun's eyes, blocking the harsh sunlight and leaving cloud-shaped shadows.
All the sun protection equipment worn by the ladies was in vain.
Just put away the parasol and silk fan, but Meng Yanyan's preparations long in advance were all in vain.
It even seemed unusually grand among the concubines.
"Hey, Mr. Wen's outfit is really unique."
"However, to maintain fair skin, just relying on sun protection is not enough. You still have to look at your own skin type. After all, no matter how hard a black pig works, it cannot become a white pig."
The palace concubines laughed a few times and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Do you think so, Mr. Wen?"
Meng Yanyan was trembling with anger at the harsh words of these women, and the hand hidden under her sleeve tightly held the handkerchief.
She was about to curse back, but then Linglong tugged on her sleeve and whispered: "My lord, the emperor is here."
The emperor was busy with political affairs in the morning and did not care about the draft. He still couldn't miss it in the afternoon. After all, he was choosing a woman for himself.
The shadow left by King Yi still hung in his mind. If the concubine with whom he had committed adultery was not found, the emperor would become suspicious of everyone.
Seeing the emperor coming, the women were too lazy to pay attention to Meng Yanyan. They all looked like wolves after seeing flesh and bones, their eyes glowing green.
The emperor has not entered the harem for nearly three months!
In the deserted corner, Meng Yanyan pulled off the gorgeous mask on her face with red eyes and threw it on Linglong's face.
The gems and silver ornaments embellished on the mask slid across Linglong's face, leaving red marks. Linglong gritted her teeth in pain, but did not dare to make a sound.
"I'm so angry that these feudal women, who only think about competing for favor, dare to ridicule me, and don't even look at how they can compare with me!"
Meng Yanyan looked at the lively scene in the Royal Garden with hatred. Liu Man's absence caused a group of people to ask questions, but she was not there, but no one asked.
Why!
She is obviously the real heroine! ! !
~~~
This was Liu Man's first time witnessing the draft with his own eyes. The original owner's memory was blurred and he could only recall sporadic fragments.
If you can't think of it, then you don't want to think about it.
Just as the show girl was entering, Liu Man sat in a perfect position next to the queen, making it easier for her to see everyone clearly.
[They are all beauties, each with their own characteristics. Which one will the Dog Emperor choose? 】
When the queen heard Liu Man's words, she turned to look at her funny.
Liu Man was leaning her head to look at the show girls. She was so excited that those who didn't know thought they were drafting for her.
The emperor had long been accustomed to Liu Man's disrespect for him in his heart. At this time, he didn't raise his eyes and sat there calmly, making it impossible for anyone to see what he was thinking.
What a joke, the emperor of his country has never seen such a stunning beauty.
Only Liu Man, a loser, couldn't look away when he saw someone with better qualities.
"After introducing these beautiful ladies, which one does the Emperor think is better?"
The queen's tone was calm, showing no hint of jealousy, sourness, or flattery, as if she only asked this question to fulfill the queen's duties.
Some of the beautiful ladies below were not calm enough, and they all secretly raised their eyes to glance at the Queen.
I had long heard that the queen had a cold temperament and that the emperor and empress were at odds with each other, but I didn't expect it to be true.
But after a few glances, the ladies were a little confused. Why did the queen smile so tenderly at the concubine beside her? Didn't they hear that the queen had any relatives in the palace?
The emperor took in all the small movements of the people below him, pondered for a while, and then raised his finger to point to the one who looked the most stable and honest.
He was really afraid of the intrigues of the women in the harem.
After passing two more batches of beautiful women, Liu Man finally met an acquaintance.
Gu Lingxin is here!
[She looks very good today and seems to have let go of the scumbag. 】
The last time they were separated, Gu Lingxin looked pale and miserable, and her whole body seemed to be broken.
When we met again this time, Gu Ling was calm, her face was rosy, and her eyes were bright.
While Liu Man was looking at her, she heard a familiar voice again. Gu Ling ignored the instructions of her aunt before entering the palace, not to raise her head to face the Holy Emperor's rules. She raised her head in surprise, faced Liu Man from afar, and smiled at each other.
Sure enough, she saw Liu Man again!
The emperor noticed their movements and looked over with interest, "Do you know Miss Gu's family?"
Liu Man curled her lips unhappily and said, "Before I entered the palace, I had a good relationship with Miss Gu."
[It’s over, the dog emperor won’t suddenly become more discerning and fall in love with Gu Lingxin, right? 】
The emperor was unhappy. What do you mean his vision suddenly changed for the better? Did he have poor vision before?
[Gu Lingxin finally escaped from King Yi’s trap. If the emperor takes notice of me because of me, then my sin will be great! 】
[No, we have to find a way to make the emperor give up this idea. 】
Liu Man urgently selected props in the system mall, including Itchi Powder, intelligence-lowering drugs, powerful laxatives (for veterinary use), and hidden weapons that kill people...
After looking over and over, it seemed that only laxatives were affordable.
Liu Man secretly looked at the emperor's body and calculated the dosage in her mind.
[Since the Dog Emperor does not intend to become a human being, then there should be no problem in using powerful laxatives for animals, right? 】
Powerful laxative!
Still for veterinary use! ! !
The emperor's body trembled, and his mind immediately recalled the endings of those people who had been manipulated by Liu Man's weird props, and a big drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
He hurriedly explained: "Ahem, don't get excited yet. I don't want Miss Gu to enter the palace."
Liu Man looked at the emperor strangely, the weather wasn't hot, so why was he sweating?
[I'm so excited, I'm just thinking of ways to solve the problem. 】
The emperor could hardly sit still.
Are you thinking about how to solve the problem?
You are thinking about how to solve the problem!
