At this moment, the crow, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "If I praise you, you praise me in return."

"Well then, since Lord Spirit Beast wants to play, I'll gladly oblige."

Although she was eager to get down to business, she didn't want to be too abrupt, so the Empress could only suppress her impatience and patiently ask, "So, who goes first?"

"You go first," the crow said coldly.

"Yes, your fur is really beautiful."

The Queen stared at the dark crow for a moment before finally managing to find a word of praise.

"Okay, thank you."

Upon hearing this, the crow puffed out its little chest, raised its head, said thank you, and then fell silent.

"that…"

Seeing this, the Queen couldn't help but remind her, "My Lord Spirit Beast, you... haven't praised me yet."

"oh…"

Upon hearing this, the crow gave a cold look and said with a forced smile, "You have excellent taste."

Empress: "..."

You have such great taste!

Is this a compliment?

kindness…

It seems that it really was a compliment?

But she felt so heartbroken, why was that?!

"Ahem, Your Excellency, actually today..."

Bai Lisiyu knew, of course, that the Empress was extremely busy, especially since she was likely to face the wrath of the Western Zhou and Bu Jiang dynasties. Time was of the essence, and in order not to waste any more time, he decided to get straight to the point.

"Actually, Ling in our family is preparing to go into seclusion to refine medicine today."

However, before Bai Lisiyu could speak, Chunhu Siqiong interjected, "We're just missing a few medicinal herbs and were about to go out to buy some."

"That's easy. Just tell the Imperial Advisor what herbs you need."

Upon hearing this, the Empress immediately agreed, saying, "Give me a list, and I will have someone prepare it right away."

"Oh, I see. Then there's our Xiao Qi, who's preparing to learn weapon crafting recently."

Heaven knows how happy Chunhu Siqiong was after learning that Fan Qiyue could forge weapons. Her dream of becoming the Queen of Arms depended on him!

"This is also...no problem. Just tell me what materials you need, Young Master Qi."

Hearing this, the Empress's smile was almost gone, but she still managed to suppress the urge to cry and stammered, "You...you see if there's anything else you need, just...tell me all at once."

It's always better to experience the pain all at once than to slowly pierce a bloody hole like this!

Whether it's herbs or materials for refining weapons, it's a considerable expense, and it's heartbreaking!

They initially planned to win people over with incentives, but they forgot that this Grand Preceptor has several disciples!

The thought of each of her apprentices extorting money from her made the empress feel a tightness in her chest, and her vision began to blur again.

"Oh my, Your Majesty is truly generous. In that case, this fox spirit will..."

"alright."

Just as Chunhu Siqiong was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted by Di Moyu indifferently, "Your Majesty, please state your purpose."

Even if the Empress has a good temper, she is still Zhan Wushuang's mother, and it wouldn't be good for her to go too far.

Compared to the unscrupulous fox, Di Moyu is relatively straightforward.

kindness…

Of course, don't get your hopes up too high.

Birds of a feather flock together. Di Moyu is only slightly kinder than others; otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now to speak up after watching the show.

However, since this play has been staged, and someone has played the good cop, someone else naturally has to symbolically play the bad cop.
