Qing Dynasty Transmigration: The Peerlessly Beautiful Woman

The female protagonist has a system that makes her more beautiful based on the original body's foundation. She is a crowd-pleaser, and the story will never be angst-inducing for the female lead...

Chapter 376 Ningpei Flood

The system that secretly sneaked into the world to see Qingyin happened to witness this scene and couldn't help but praise it.

"Host is truly amazing! You've practically turned these princesses into placentas by your sweet talk. They've completely forgotten how nervous they were when they were reviewing memorials."

The sudden, fawning young voice made it clear that it was the system's lackey.

Qingyin's lips twitched, and she said fiercely:

"System, do you believe that if you keep sneaking around scaring people like this, I'll report you for taking on side jobs and neglecting your duties, and I'll have all your wages confiscated?"

The system froze.

"Hehe, my great and beautiful host, Yin Yin, would never mistreat your most loyal little friend, right?"

The system fawned, glancing at Qingyin as it spoke, and occasionally massaging her legs and shoulders.

Her servile manner was worse than that of the eunuchs who served her.

Qingyin's thoughts drifted: she felt that if the system were a eunuch, it would definitely get promoted very quickly, after all, such a sycophantic and shameless creature was really rare.

Qingyin has only encountered one so far, and that is her system.

"Yinyin, you'll forgive me, won't you?" The system blinked, looking at Qingyin expectantly.

Because of the system's restrictions on entering the small world, what Qingyin saw was a fist-sized ball of light standing obsequiously in front of her, staring intently at her with its glowing eyes.

Three parts sleazy, seven parts obsequious.

Qingyin: "..."

With a "smack," Qingyin ruthlessly slapped away the glowing system doll.

"Come on, I seem to remember someone saying I'm ruthless, cold-blooded, petty, and merciless in my actions."

"Heh, I must be too harsh on the system if I'm so stingy."

System 996, who secretly spoke ill of the host to his system companions: "..."

System: I'm sweating bullets.

How did the host know he was talking badly about her? Could it be that Xiao Hong is a traitor who secretly told the host?

The system was lost in thought, but its eyes were secretly glancing at Qingyin.

Qingyin: If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?

She is now a ruthless, cold-blooded, and calculating woman. Unless that lackey of the system is willing to take out eight cents of his private savings, she is not willing to let go of the system that has no professional ethics.

Qingyin thought.

Her alluring fox-like eyes fell upon a rather important memorial in her hands, written by the magistrate of a relatively wealthy county in the south.

The gist of what was written was that the county magistrate had noticed that the fields in Ningpei County were very dry recently. Although there was a river that could irrigate the farmland, the magistrate found that the water level of that river had dropped significantly and the water had become very turbid. The magistrate found this strange and was very worried, so he wrote a letter to report to the emperor.

Ningpei County – Ningpei Flood.

Qingyin's hand glided over the two words that carried the fragrance of books.

In the previous life, the chaos in the Great Xia Dynasty began with the Ningpei flood.

Just like today, the magistrate of Ningpei County noticed something unusual about the local county and specially sent a memorial to the capital.

However, in the previous life, the original owner did not pay attention to it.

After all, Ningpei County has a superior geographical location and is rich in resources. The crops grown in its land are the second largest agricultural granary in the country. It has never experienced floods since its founding. Therefore, apart from the local county magistrate, no one thought that their beautiful and rich Ningpei County would suffer such a dangerous disaster.

Those commoners held that kind of thinking, and so did the original owner of this body.

He glanced at it briefly and replied perfunctorily to the county magistrate with a few words: "Read, don't make a fuss."

Such a simple sentence resulted in an entire county of Ningpei filled with bloated corpses, the Xia Dynasty losing most of its granaries, and a plague brought by the floods... The country seemed to have been suddenly visited by misfortune.

The Xia Dynasty also began to fall into chaos at this time.

Qingyin's eyes deepened.

In modern times, a mistake by a person in a position of power can probably be made up for, but in ancient times, a mistake by a person in a position of power could result in countless lives lost and enormous disasters.

Since the original owner didn't care about the disastrous consequences, Qingyin naturally couldn't let the lives of people in an entire county die like that.

The flood in Ningpei is still half a month away, so she needs to speed things up.

Qingyin sighed inwardly, asked Li De to grind the ink, dipped her brush in it, and began to write.

After reviewing the memorials, Qingyin reread her reply and nodded in satisfaction.

Excellent, as expected of her intelligence, this plan is simply perfect.

After Qingyin finished reviewing the memorials, she finally cast a glance at System 996, who was sitting uneasily to the side.

She cleared her throat: "Ahem, you don't have to report me."

The system's eyes lit up, "Yinyin! I knew you were the best!"

Qingyin smiled slightly, "It's good that you know I'm good, but you have to do me a favor."

The system nodded busily.

Qingyin beckoned with her finger, "Come here."

...

"Like this...and then like that."

"Okay, I promise to complete the task."

After hearing this, the system flew south with great pride and arrogance.

That direction led directly to Ningpei County.
