Chapter 21
Ever since Zheng Xiyao was conferred the title of Concubine Chen, many people with faces have come to her palace one after another.First, the steward of the harem, who came to pay her respects, and waited for her to arrange work in the palace.
Then came the greetings from the women of the harem. Except for Zhang Cairen who claimed that he was not in good health, all three of them came here, including the arrogant Xiao Jieyu.
"Why is this tea last year's old tea?" The first to speak was the beautiful Xiao Jieyu.
Zheng Xiyao: [Xiao Jieyu really does not disappoint. 】
Zheng Xiyao said with a smile: "It's not true, of course it's not as good as Xiao Jieyu, her family is big and well-loved by the emperor, this good tea is naturally close to Xiao Jieyu, my palace is not worthy of it."
Xiao Jieyu's face turned pale, and she placed the teacup in her hand on the table in an ugly manner. Water droplets splashed outside, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"Your Majesty is right. This old tea has the taste of old tea. As the saying goes, the new is not as good as the old, and it tastes different." Tsing Yi, who was at the side, said gently, Xie Ronghua.
"That's right. Sister Xiao has been rich and precious since she was a child. Naturally, she has never tasted this kind of old tea. I also drank this kind of old tea when I was a child. It has a special taste." This is the charming concubine Hui.
"Hahaha, you guys are so interesting." Zheng Xiyao looked at the women chattering, afraid that she would get angry, it was very funny.
Everyone looked at her in bewilderment.Just as Zheng Xiyao was about to explain, a familiar voice came.
"Yao'er is so happy today, but if something interesting happens, tell me about it." The emperor walked over with a smile on his face.Let the originally stern emperor add a little more warmth and softness.
The male protagonist walked up to the main seat, and waved his hands to avoid the rules of the crowd.Sitting next to her, he grabbed Zheng Xiyao's hand, clapped it a few times and asked: "Yao'er, I look in a good mood today."
Zheng Xiyao took advantage of the situation and approached the male lead, ignoring the male lead's movement to avoid it, and said happily: "It's not that the concubine took last year's old tea to entertain the three younger sisters, unexpectedly, Xiao Jieyu felt uncomfortable tasting it. Xie Ronghua and Concubine Hui felt that the old tea tasted very good. The concubine thought, this small cup of tea tastes different to everyone, very interesting."
"Oh, I'm curious about what Yao'er said, give me a cup." As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into a cup.
The male protagonist took a sip and his face gradually sank, he put down his teacup heavily, and shouted in a deep voice; "Wang Ning, go and send someone to bring this year's latest Guzhu purple bamboo shoots to Funing Hall."
Wang Ning, chief servant: "Your Majesty, Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots have only been paid a hundred skewers this year, and now there are less than ten skewers."
The emperor: "Bring them all here. From now on, the new tea from the harem will be kept in the Palace of Funing first."
Manager; "Yes."
As the two voices fell, a strange silence filled the air.Zheng Xiyao looked around, seeing the various expressions on the faces of the three concubines, it was hard to hide the dissatisfaction in her heart.
Especially Xiao Jieyu, all the jealousy and hatred in her heart were on her face, staring at her fiercely.Zheng Xiyao didn't understand if this Xiao Jieyu had been abandoned by Grand Master Xiao, otherwise how could she have sent such a beaming daughter into the palace, the Shen family really didn't learn from Grand Master Xiao at all.
Or is love blinding people and lowering IQ?
But yes, the hero's appearance is not as good-looking as ordinary people can imagine!When not smiling, he is not angry and majestic, exuding an irresistible kingly arrogance.When he stares at you, his dark and deep eyes seem to be full of affection, making it impossible to look away.
What's more, his handsome face is like a figure walking out of a painting.
The most respected person in the world, the person with supreme power and wealth, looks good, how can no one dislike it.
If Zheng Xiyao hadn't had an antecedent, she would probably be tempted.
Therefore, it is not good for a man to be too good-looking, it is too attractive.
Zheng Xiyao was thinking, and unconsciously clenched the male lead's hand.
"Yao'er?"
The hero thought that Zheng Xiyao had something to say.
Zheng Xiyao returned to her senses and said with a smile; "Your Majesty is so kind to my concubines. From now on, as long as your majesty comes down, my concubines will make new tea from you."
"This is not bad, I will be lucky in the future." As if interested, Liu Siyan rewarded some gold, silver, jewelry, jade and porcelain.
"I got two new pots of green plums a few days ago, and I'll have someone bring them to you later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Zheng Xiyao pretended to be happy to thank her.
The male protagonist seems to have completely forgotten about other people, as if he didn't care about the three women who wanted him.
After sitting for a while, the emperor got what he wanted and left, and the others followed suit.
Zheng Xiyao didn't feel any fluctuations in her heart. After seeing off everyone, she was bored watching the maids sorting out these useless rewards.
[Host, the male lead is a big deal, he has given so many good things. 】
[Isn't that how the emperor favors you? 】Zheng Xiyao responded wearily: 【If you like, you can choose some. 】
[Really, host, you are too kind. 】
The system danced excitedly, circling around the pile of gold, silver and jewels.She didn't notice the indifference on Zheng Xiyao's face at all, staring out the window in rapt attention.
She was annoyed when the male protagonist sat next to him, doting on her, and sent a bunch of useless things with a big wave of his hand.Coming here today is like acting in a play, a play in which she is obsessed with her and pampered tirelessly.
Completely pushed her to be the number one concubine in the harem.
It seems that what he has to do is coming to an end.
How long can she live?Zheng Xiyao smiled wryly.
Zheng Xiyao said to the money-collecting system: "System, how many points do I need to exchange for the antidote?"
[It takes 200 points to redeem the antidote.There are currently 100 points remaining. 】
[It seems that I am really poor] Zheng Xiyao sighed, and then asked [Is there any task that can earn points recently? 】
[Yes, but it may be a bit difficult given your current situation as the host. 】
【oh?what is it ] Zheng Xiyao is a little curious.
[Reduce male protagonist's blackening value by 10%]
【What's this? ] Zheng Xiyao is dizzy, why does the hero still have blackening value?
[This is actually the main system discovering that the male lead in this world seems to have been blackened beyond the threshold, and the world may be destroyed if it continues.so……】
[So I need to risk my life to save your hero? 】
[How can you say that, host, don't forget, the reason why the hero became like this. 】
The system's words reminded Zheng Xiyao that all this seemed to be because of her.
She has no reason to refuse.
