Sweet and sour lotus root

The cold mechanical voice of the system rang in my ears, "Roger."

A burst of white light flashed, and what she wanted appeared in Feng Yuzhen's hand.

She was about to open it, but the system in her mind reminded her, "Host, please pay three hundred taels of silver."

Feng Yuzhen was shocked, "So expensive?"

She lived abroad with her mother when she was young, and she only had twenty or thirty taels of silver for a year, which was enough for ten years.

"Cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap." The system is very clear about this.

Feng Yuzhen checked her savings and found that she had spent almost all the money that the prime minister's father had brought her into the palace, and the rest were some jewelry that was not easy to sell.

She had to grit her teeth and asked, "Can I pay on credit?"

The system is quite reasonable in this aspect, "Yes."

Feng Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the amount on the system panel, she happily took apart the goods. Sure enough, you get what you pay for. The jade beauty cream was made of unknown mother-of-pearl. It was delicate and lustrous.

, it will definitely make her complexion look better when applied on her face; the rouge will also be more even than those inside and outside the palace.

The system was silent for a moment and asked: "Why not redeem it with points?"

This mall not only accepts physical currency, but also accepts virtual currency. Especially for the beauty and prosperity system, a man's admiration points can be used to redeem points. According to it, the host country is beautiful and fragrant, and there are plug-ins to assist, so there is no need to worry about money.

.

Feng Yuzhen said coldly: "Isn't there still no chance?"

However, Xia was the first to seize the emperor's favor, leaving her with nowhere to display her charm and being forced to resort to tricks.

Besides, there was only one man like the emperor in the palace, who else could she confuse? Those eunuchs?

The system reminded: "Don't forget, there are guards."

Feng Yuzhen said contemptuously, "Forget it."

System points are determined based on the status of the admirer. Even if she captures a thousand guards, the benefits will not be greater than those gained by conquering the emperor.

Besides, the aura of beauty is too powerful, and the guards may not be able to withstand it based on their determination. Feng Yuzhen has watched a famous palace fighting drama, and still remembers the story of the concubines and the guards in it. She doesn't want to be quartered by five horses.

.

The system had no choice but to stop persuading it. It had finally seen how ambitious the host was. Unfortunately, it had ambition but did not have the means and abilities to match it. It was afraid that it would overturn!

Let's see how far she can go.

On this day, Xia Tong was forced to have dinner with the emperor again. Just when he was feeling sour, the emperor gave him a reasonable suggestion, "It's still early, why not take a walk in the imperial garden."

Xia Tong was overjoyed. She had never walked out alone after being in the palace for so long. Firstly, there was no one to guide her. Secondly, she was also afraid of bumping into some mistress with a bad temper and being rewarded with a hundred feet of red.

, your life is not guaranteed.

There is nothing better than having an emperor as a tour guide.

Liu Zhang saw the joy on her face and couldn't help but smile, "What a childish temper."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and wiped a grain of rice from her lips.

This move was almost doting. Xia Tong felt his heart pounding. He hurriedly covered up his cough and asked An Ruhai to bring him some tea.

Liu Zhang didn't realize that he was having sex, so he just held her hand and stood up, "Let's go."

An Ruhai saw the two people acting like a young couple, so he had to watch his nose and heart, pretending not to see it. According to him, this His Majesty was too innocent. Since he was interested, why not just accept it? He still had to play tricks.

The trick of conveying love is nothing to make people anxious.

Fortunately, now that Xia Tong is here, Liu Zhang's weird hearing can be suppressed a little. Otherwise, if he hears these comments behind his back, he will definitely be guilty of disrespecting the law and order.

Xia Tong's daughter-in-law usually followed behind the emperor, and was almost dazzled by the colorful flowers in front of her. The flowers and trees in the imperial garden were so lush that it was beyond her imagination. Xia Tong could only identify a few of them even with all her eyesight.

Liu Zhang patiently explained to her that the small lavender flowers clustered together like feather dusters were hyacinths; the azaleas were as red as the rouge on the matchmaker's mouth; the winter jasmine was easier to identify, as it was as yellow as

It looks like rapeseed. Of course, it is still bigger than rapeseed.

Xia Tong: "..."

What a magical metaphor.

However, she still admired the emperor's profound knowledge, "Does your Majesty often come to the Imperial Garden to enjoy flowers?"

"I came here often when I was a kid," Liu Zhang said calmly.

As soon as he was born, he was taken to be raised by Queen Renhe, but Queen Renhe just wanted to have a legitimate son of her own and had no intention of taking good care of him. As for his biological mother, Jiang, she soon had a second child and did not want to.

Bring up sad things from the past.

Although he grew up in the Queen's Palace, Liu Zhang was like a wild child in the countryside, and the palace people naturally didn't bother to care where he liked to go. Perhaps because of this, his feelings about the outside world were particularly keen and real.

Xia Tong didn't know about the emperor's past, so he looked gloomy, so he wisely stopped mentioning it.

Liu Zhang quickly regained his composure, took Xia Tong's hand and said with a smile, "With you here, I feel much better now."

An Ruhai, who was listening in, was convinced. He also felt that His Majesty's condition has been much better recently. In the past, he always looked like he was angry when he got up, and often got offended. However, these days, he is rosy, full of energy, and looks more energetic when meeting everyone.

Smile. Even the slaves like them are secretly glad that this Xia Cai is really a lucky star in life. Look, she has only been in the palace for a few days, and the emperor seems to be a different person. It is really destined by fate.

Faced with the emperor's invisible provocation, Xia Tong couldn't say anything except a slight warmth in her ears - she didn't do anything at all.

Moreover, the emperor's attitude towards her was a bit strange. Even if he killed her, he wouldn't believe that it was love at first sight - especially men are lower-body animals. They only talk about love but not sex. What a liar!

Liu Zhang really didn't think about that. At first, he accidentally discovered that Xia Tong could suppress his "strange disease" and used her as a medicine introduction. After getting along with him for a long time, he found that this woman had an easy-going temperament and was occasionally funny, making him very comfortable to deal with.

.

This made him have a better impression of Xia Tong himself, "I remember your father was on duty at the Hanlin Academy?"

Since she had only been in the palace for a short period of time and had not formally visited her bed, it was not appropriate to mention her status. Liu Zhang then thought that maybe he could give her family a little reward so that she would be willing to accompany him.

When Xia Tong heard this, she panicked. She wanted to be a salted fish, but she didn't want to be roasted on the fire. If she was promoted to a noble position so quickly, others would just think it was her instigation. Didn't she become a real witch?

?Don’t even mention it, Empress Dowager Chiang would be the first one not to let her go.

Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly heard a few crunching sounds, and a crude pottery flowerpot fell onto the stone path, splattering with broken soil.

An Ruhai immediately grabbed the whisk and shouted: "Who is so careless?"

"Forgive me, my father-in-law, but I didn't mean it..." The woman dressed as a palace concubine apologized in a panic, but at the same time she raised her pitiful face and looked at the emperor.

Compared with the glamorous look on the day she entered the palace, today she deliberately dressed in plain clothes, only put a little powder on her face, and only put on a light rouge on her lips, but she looked even more seductive.

Especially against the background of the garden full of flowers, she looks as delicate and elegant as a lotus. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chang'e descended to earth.

Xia Tong recognized Feng Yuzhen's description at a glance, but remained silent. Although Feng Yuzhen's tricks seemed clumsy, as long as life was beautiful enough, means were only secondary.

The emperor spoke, "Who are you?"

Feng Yuzhen was secretly happy, but she twisted her handkerchief quietly, deliberately pretending to be weak and afraid to answer. Men didn't like people who were too aggressive, so she had to try her best to mold it to their taste.

However, since the emperor has spoken personally, it can be seen that today's move is the right one. When she becomes the most beloved concubine in the palace, let's see if Xia dares to be arrogant in front of her?

Feng Yuzhen thought so and glanced sideways at the emperor without revealing anything.

Xia Tong didn't feel the crisis at all. Whether Feng Yuzhen was favored or not was none of her business. It was the right thing to be content and happy.

Feng was so beautiful, of course An Ruhai recognized her identity at a glance, but he didn't dare to reveal her identity. What if Feng succeeded in one fell swoop? Then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, she is a servant of the Jade Palace.

slave girl."

Feng Yuzhen said timidly at this time, "I was ordered by Beauty Feng to go to the flower garden to move some pots of peonies. I didn't want to be clumsy and offended Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

As he spoke, a few tears rolled down his cheeks, really like pear blossoms carrying rain.

Xia Tong had to admire her acting skills. It was a pity that she didn't win an Oscar.

She is so beautiful and so scheming. If she were a man, she would probably fall into a trap.

But Liu Zhang only said indifferently: "It turns out that you belong to the Jade Palace. If you can't do such a small thing well, I think you don't need to go back to the flower room. Just go to the toilet."

Feng Yuzhen almost collapsed, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Your Majesty!"

Did she hear it right? She was asked to clean the toilet and pour night fragrance? Is this what people do?

The emperor had a rather angry look on his face, "Also, An Ruhai, I have given you an oral order that Feng Meiren cannot restrain the maids in the palace. If she offends the Holy Master, she will be fined one month's salary. No violation shall be made."

An Ruhai hurriedly accepted the order, thinking that Feng had caused a lot of trouble this time, and His Majesty seemed really angry this time.

When Feng Yuzhen heard that it was about a fine and a toilet, she almost wanted to ignore the exposure of her real body, but An Ruhai grabbed her arm tightly and said, "Girl, you'd better accept the punishment honestly and don't make His Majesty angry again."

!”

Feng Yuzhen suddenly came to her senses. The emperor had made it clear that he was not tempted by her beauty. It didn't matter whether she was a beauty or a slave. If she contradicted him now, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor, and the consequences would be even worse.

It's a pity that her three hundred taels of silver will be repaid in what years and months... Feng Yuzhen felt so confused that she was dragged down by An Ruhai like she was boneless.

Peace returned to the Imperial Garden.
