Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 97: Prosperity and wealth, a dream

The Queen Mother nodded, "That's good. The sacred deer is extraordinary, so you should take good care of it."

"I understand."

Xia Baozheng responded respectfully.

The Queen Mother didn't care about the harem, so she only asked about the sacred deer and nothing else. She turned around and started joking with the concubines.

Liu Jieyu told the Queen Mother a joke before, which made the Queen Mother laugh. The Queen Mother looked at her and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu'er's mouth is really bright, and she talks so nicely."

Liu Jieyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of jokes do you want to hear? I'm not talented, but I still know a few jokes."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You only pick nice things to say, and everyone will like to hear them."

Liu Jieyu's eyebrows arched and she said happily, "Then I will tell you something nice."

He cleared his throat and began to speak in a measured tone.

It tells the story of a scholar who saved a little fox on his way to the capital to study. The little fox, grateful for his kindness, turned into a human and traveled to the capital to study with the scholar.

When the scholar was short of clothes, she would look for him clothes. When the scholar was short of money, she would look for him money. When the scholar was short of food, she would look for food for him. She would dress and eat for him, add fragrance to her red sleeves, and protect the scholar along the way to gain fame and get ahead.

The scholar promised her that when he was named on the gold medal list, he would take her as his wife.

The little fox was very happy. On the day when the list was unveiled, she wore a red wedding robe at home and waited for the scholar to take her as his wife, because she knew that the scholar would definitely be named on the list.

But he didn't want to wait for news about the scholar Princess Shang in the end.

The little fox was heartbroken and asked the scholar why he lied to her.

The scholar said that he had no choice but to do so. He said that the marriage was granted by the Holy God and he could not disobey the decree. After hearing this, the little fox secretly transformed into a handsome young man to seduce the princess. Sure enough, he succeeded in seducing the princess, and the princess proposed to break off the engagement with the scholar.

The scholar was obsessed with making Princess Shang prosperous, but he didn't expect that the princess would be seduced by a young man, and the wealth he had acquired would be lost. He was so angry that he found the young man and planned to set him on fire.

The young man was trapped in the fire and called the scholar's name crazily, but the scholar was blinded by jealousy and turned a deaf ear, watching her being burned to death in the fire.

The scholar finally got his wish and married the princess.

The little fox lost a thousand years of cultivation in a fire and could no longer transform into a human being. He could only watch the scholar and the princess get married, holding hands in love and playing the piano and the harp in harmony.

The little fox was heartbroken and decided to leave the mortal world and hide in the mountains and wild mountains to practice.

One year, spring came and flowers bloomed, and a group of hunters came to the mountains, including the scholar and the princess.

The princess saw her little fox and fell in love with it. She took her bow and arrow and shot it all the way, vowing to hunt it home and make her a pet.

She ran all over the mountain and finally saw the scholar. She screamed at the scholar to save her, but the scholar finally raised the bow in his hand to him.

In an instant, she broke away from the world of mortals, no longer caring about the world, and jumped off the cliff.

Unexpectedly, the scholar chased after it with all his might, intent on hunting her down to please the princess. He didn't notice the cliff at his feet, and actually fell down, his mortal body falling like a star in the blink of an eye.

Prosperity and wealth are just a dream

The little fox found the scholar's body under the abyss, breathed on him with his last breath, and asked him, if you had it to do over again, would you keep your promise and take Xiaohong as your wife on the day when you are named on the gold list?
The scholar seemed to have come back to his senses, and sneered and said...
