Chapter 525 A Very Fatal Matter

[Oh my, the tyrant is fooling the Queen Mother again. We'll see in a few days. Where can I turn a chicken into a chicken for the Queen Mother... uh, no, a phoenix head?]

Chu Liuzheng, who didn't want to go in and see the mother and son arguing, squatted in front of the Wanshou Palace gate and felt worried.

I wonder if sticking a couple of chicken feathers in my hair, standing in the backlight, and scattering some flower petals will fool the Queen Mother.

[Hmm... Using peacock feathers seems a bit more gorgeous.]

"No! I don't want to pretend to be a phoenix girl. I can fool her once, but what if the Queen Mother wants to see me a second or third time? This tyrant's plan will lead to endless trouble. If the Queen Mother finds out she's been tricked, she'll definitely blame me."

[Ah!!! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has always been a major problem, and mine is also a witch-like problem, it's simply hellish.]

Chu Liuzheng decisively put the problem behind her. Whoever raised it should solve it. She decided to continue reading.

It would be fine if I hadn't seen it, but once I did I could tell it was a heavyweight.

[Fuck! The tyrant wants to make me his queen. When? Doesn't he need to inform me first and discuss it with me?]

[Oh, by the way, the Phoenix Seal is in my hands, so I don't think I should be so surprised.]

[Wait, where did this evidence come from? When did the tyrant secretly collect so much evidence against the Xie family?]

[Wow, the secret guards' intelligence network is incredible. They even noticed every little detail. It's on par with the system's intelligence collection capabilities.]

[What a brilliant plan of using courtesy before force! It turns out the tyrant's original plan was to use the evidence of the Xie family's crimes to silence the Queen Mother. No wonder her expression looked like she was going to collect a debt. It turns out she really was going there to collect a debt!]

Chu Liuzheng scrolled down.

[Tsk tsk, silence, silence, silence is the queen mother tonight.]

[If the Xie family is to be saved, the Queen Mother must not only not oppose the tyrant's decision to dismiss the harem, but must also strongly support it. If this had been brought up from the beginning, the tyrant would have been furious, and the Queen Mother would have been furious, although she's not in a good mood now.]

[Oh, not only are they angry at the tyrant, but also at those useless children of the Xie family who, relying on their status, act tyrannically and recklessly.]

Madam Xie is famous among the noble ladies of the capital for her eloquence. She can even turn black into white, and she praised the Xie family's descendants to the skies in front of the Empress Dowager.

[I've allowed you to bully the Queen Mother for being ill-informed and talking nonsense in the palace. Now, I've exposed the tyrant's true identity, and it's clear who's the real deal. Tsk tsk, I'm afraid Madam Xie won't have a good time the next time she enters the palace.]

Chu Liuzheng scrolled down for a while, and when he found nothing interesting, he closed the system and raised his hand, "Chen Xing, help me, my legs are numb."

No one responded, but her hand was held by a familiar large hand. Xiao Jingfan bent down and picked her up, as if he didn't know she was eating watermelon just now. He asked, "Why are you squatting here?"

"Wait for you to come out." Chu Liuzheng put his arms around his neck. He kicked his calves slightly and felt numb. His expression twisted.

She studied the emperor's expression and asked with concern, "You didn't quarrel with the Queen Mother, did you?"

"I have already convinced my mother." Xiao Jingfan carried her forward, "Tomorrow I will order the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day."

"What?" Chu Liuzheng blinked and pretended to be stupid.

Xiao Jingfan: "Guess."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

If I guess it, it seems like I really want to be the queen. If I don't guess it, it seems like I'm stupid. Do I guess it or not?

Xiao Jingfan: "There's a reward for guessing it."

Chu Liuzheng immediately said, "Call her queen."

Xiao Jingfan: "Guess again."

Chu Liuzheng:? ?

[Not a title? What is that? Did I miss it?]

She immediately opened the system to look for it and found that she had missed it.

And they are all two words.

She cleared her throat and was hesitating whether to speak or not when Xiao Jingfan glanced at her and said, "No more waiting."

How could Chu, a former worker, Liu Zheng, resist the temptation of ddl? He subconsciously said, "Wedding."

Xiao Jingfan's eyes curved: "How clever."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

[Tsk, what a bad taste!]

Her ears felt hot, and she hugged the emperor's neck and shook him, then abruptly changed the subject: "What's the reward?"

Xiao Jingfan: "I remember I still owe you a title."

Chu Liuzheng:!!!

*

Why am I so unaccustomed to a tyrant being so generous? Won't my parents be frightened? Should I send someone to tell them in advance?

After taking a bath, Chu Liuzheng sat in front of the dressing table to take care of his skin, thinking about all sorts of things. He caught a glimpse of a young man in black pajamas walking over from the mirror, taking the wooden comb from Chen Xing's hand and gently combing her hair.

Chen Xing and Si Yue both retreated and closed the door.

The hall was quiet, with flickering candlelight and ambiguous light and shadow.

Looking at the person in the mirror, Chu Liuzheng suddenly remembered a very serious matter that he had forgotten.

[The harem was dismissed, and the tyrant won the bet. That's not... consummating the marriage!!!]

[Holy shit! Holy shit! How could I have forgotten?!]

Her body suddenly stiffened. Xiao Jingfan, who was combing her hair, naturally noticed it. He raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder, asking gently, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Chu Liuzheng pursed his lips, "I'm a little thirsty."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan put down the wooden comb and went to the table to pour water.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Liuzheng quickly recalled the care he had taken during his shower. This was his first time in this world, and with someone he loved, so naturally, the more perfect the experience, the better.

[Flower petal bath...the flower petals ran out yesterday, so I didn't ask for it to be prepared.]

I washed my hair yesterday.

I used the scented soap and floral water. I did the essential oil massage the day before yesterday, but it was too late today so I didn't do it.

[As for the powder, I thought it was too troublesome in such hot weather, so I didn't let them put it on.]

[The ointment seems to be useless.]

She lowered her head and put her nose to her arm and smelled it. There was a faint fragrance, as if it had been marinated with various incenses, powders, ointments and dews she used in the past.

She casually opened her collar and took a look inside, and it was... quite turbulent.

Blow some air into your palms again.

[The tooth powder is peach flavored, so I'll just make do with it.]

[My nails seem a little long. Do I need to trim them?]

Just as Chu Liuzheng got the scissors in his hand, Xiao Jingfan came back with a teacup.

The emperor glanced at the scissors in her hand, his face puzzled: "What are you doing with the scissors?"

"Cut the candle wick." Chu Liuzheng calmly pointed to the candlestick next to him, "It's a little dim."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan handed her the teacup, took the scissors, removed the lampshade, and cut off the excessively long candle wick.

Chu Liuzheng held the cup and drank water, staring at his beautifully trimmed nails.

The length is actually fine, so you don't need to cut it.

[Hmm... The Tyrant likes the scent of jasmine, so I'd better put on some ointment as a last resort.]

She put the cup down, reached for the ointment box, picked out a little, and applied it evenly behind her ears.

As for fragrance, quality is more important than quantity. It is only when it is subtle that it attracts people.

After taking a final look in the mirror, Chu Liuzheng brushed away the loose hair on his forehead and stood up.

Xiao Jingfan put the scissors back into the box and was leaning against the head of the bed waiting for her.

Chu Liuzheng was inexplicably nervous, especially when those deep black eyes looked at her. She almost froze, thinking worriedly:

[The Tyrant's skills should be pretty good, right? ]

She blew out the extra candlelight at the bedside and crawled into the bed.

According to the rules, concubines should sleep on the outside when serving the emperor so that they can serve him at any time, such as serving tea and water, calling someone, etc.

But the emperor went to court too early and Chu Liuzheng got up late. In order to avoid waking Chu Liuzheng up, the two of them switched sleeping positions, and the person who brought water was naturally switched as well.
