[Host, I think you should relax. After all, this place you're in has a time limit. Such a unique place, if players carefully explore and discover it, they'll definitely find it and come here.]

Seeing Mingmei's gloomy face, Guigui secretly took a picture of Mingmei and put it in its organized mood album, while comforting her.

"Wait for them to find it? Lu Xiaoyao found it on the very first night, and what happened then?"

Mingmei was still speechless when she thought about Lu Xiaoyao's actions last night.

When asked to try the boxed lunch, she readily agreed one second, but then suddenly changed her mind and said the emperor should eat first.

[Lu Xiaoyao's thought process is naturally different from other players; you can't use her as a typical example.]

"Speaking of which..."

As they chatted, Gui Gui noticed Ming Mei suddenly frown, as if she had noticed something amiss, and then she said, "I've noticed that you're quite good at being sarcastic, Gui Gui~"

Gui Gui: [?]

I'm keeping you company, what are you talking about?

"If you ever get a body through the test, promise me you'll pick a cool, aloof guy. That kind of serious yet quirky personality is really cool."

So, are you being sarcastic or sarcastic towards me?

"No, it's not that. I just suddenly thought of it..."

[Host, if you don't watch the live stream...]

"I think so!"

Noticing that Gui Gui seemed a little unhappy, Mingmei immediately focused intently and picked out the remaining two live streams that didn't have a meeting from the seven shots and five shots of the morning meeting.

Although Gui Gui was quick to shift her focus, she was quite clumsy.

It wanted to say something more, but then it remembered that Mingmei's clear eyes had never shown any disdain for it, and she was even very serious when she mentioned that if it were possible, it could choose its own appearance.

Gui Gui also began to think about a question.

How did its personality develop into something so strange and unpleasant?

While Gui Gui was deep in thought, Ming Mei had already set her sights on Consort Bai Xiao, who was practicing swordplay in the courtyard of Qingluan Palace early in the morning.

It really is just wielding swords and knives.

The sight of swords flashing and shadows flying made the palace maid standing to the side turn pale. However, although the NPC's eyes showed fear, there was no doubt. In other words, Bai Xiao's current performance was in line with the character.

This imperial concubine comes from a military family, and her skills are truly exceptional.

As Mingmei watched Bai Xiaona's sword-wielding skills, she couldn't help but recall the dancer she played in "The Assassin," whose skills were equally impressive during the final assassination attempt. Oh, and also, in "The Duke's Legacy," during her final close-quarters battle with Da Yao.

Mingmei felt that Bai Xiao seemed even more capable than before.

So, could she praise him as a worthy outstanding student of the combat mech class?

When it was time, Bai Xiao finished her ritual. What followed was a long process of being served by palace maids, changing into gorgeous clothes, and wearing hairpins and jewelry before being taken directly to the Empress Dowager's residence by the palace servants.

Mingmei initially thought the two female players getting together would lead to some palace intrigue, but—

"Hahahaha, really? Lu Xiaoyao has really become a little eunuch? Hahahaha!"

Bai Xiao and Leng Youyou gathered together, dismissed the servants, and then began to let loose. When Bai Xiao laughed, the pearl tassels in her hair were even flung onto her face because of her large movements.

Mingmei had previously only known that ornate hairpins and jewelry served to restrain women's behavior, but she had never seen how exactly. Now, seeing Bai Xiao being directly slapped in the face by a hairpin, she immediately understood.

After laughing, Bai Xiao peeled an orange and recalled the power information within her body. She remembered that there seemed to be a eunuch who admired her by the side of the actual emperor.

Although she didn't know why, the thought of the eunuch's information naturally triggered a strange emotion in her body. However, considering that Lu Xiaoyao also served by the emperor's side, and given her personality, Bai Xiao was afraid that Lu Xiaoyao would be dragged out and beheaded by the emperor before the game even started.

I'd better find out the name of the eunuch she's playing, and then ask someone to take care of him.

So, under the guise of having tea, Bai Xiao casually asked, "What's the name of the eunuch she's playing?"

"Lu Changfu".

"puff--"

Not only did Bai Xiao spit out water, but Ming Mei, who was drinking tea, also spit out her tea when she saw the two chatting.

Yesterday, she seemed to remember that Lu Xiaoyao had some connection with the Imperial Concubine because of her status. Today, seeing Bai Xiao's bright reaction, she immediately felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

Then, as if talking to herself, or perhaps asking Gui Gui, she murmured softly, "Could there be some kind of relationship between Lu Xiaoyao and the Imperial Concubine that involves them building a green pasture for the Emperor?"

"It's just a story about a 'white moonlight' (idealized love). " Surprisingly, Gui Gui actually answered, "Perhaps 'simp' would be a more fitting title?"

Mingmei: "...?"

Your two names contain a lot of information!

Finally, Mingmei couldn't help but take another sip of tea, and asked worriedly, "Can Lu Xiaoyao handle such a complex role?"

Don't you think that judging from her fawning attitude towards the emperor last night, she's capable of winning him over?

Mingmei: "..."

If Mu Chen hadn't turned a blind eye, Lu Xiaoyao would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

Mingmei: "..."

Gui Gui's answers are always so insightful these days.
