Xueli, a snake demon who had been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for 500 years, was caught by a passing system just as she was barely surviving a lightning tribulation. She then sough...
"Sister Liu has arrived early, keeping the ladies waiting!"
Upon hearing this, Consort Xi's expression changed.
Seeing this, Changzai became even more smug.
Consort An glanced at Consort Xi and Consort Yu, then covered her face with her handkerchief and remained silent.
"It's understandable that Sister Liu is a little late because she has worked hard serving the emperor."
She often speaks in a gentle and soft voice, has a good temperament, but her appearance is just average.
"Oh, are you sisters trying to help the Empress?" Shirley retorted, looking at Chang Yi with a smug expression.
Changzai was so angry that his chest heaved uncontrollably.
"Besides, Consort Xi hasn't spoken yet, what business is it of yours?"
Just as Shirley was about to gloat to the Chang family, Jixiang pulled her back.
He didn't say anything more.
Consort Xi's expression softened considerably at this moment.
With a gentle smile, she said, "You lot are all mischievous devils. Stop arguing, Her Majesty the Empress is about to come out!"
Looking at the gentle Consort Xi, whose appearance was indeed quite ordinary, Shirley thought, "Well, she made the right bet!"
Shirley didn't say anything more, only then did she learn that Consort Qi had fallen ill.
The Empress was also in poor spirits.
At this time, Consort Xi and Consort Qi are assisting with palace affairs.
After Shirley served An Jing tea, everyone dispersed.
On the way back to the palace, I saw several newlyweds smiling obsequiously at Consort Xi and Consort Yu along the long palace corridor.
Sherry followed slowly behind!
It's also troublesome, as Yanxi Palace and Jingren Palace, where Consort Xi lived, are separated only by a palace road.
Fortunately, the Empress is currently unwell and does not need to pay her respects every day; otherwise, walking from the East Six Palaces to the West Six Palaces every day would be quite tiring.
Sherry only began to bathe and relax after returning to the palace.
Lunch was very lavish; otherwise, why would everyone be vying for attention?
Shirley rubbed her belly, waiting for the baby to be born in ten months.
If I calculate the time, I can hold my baby next February.
Emperor Yongzheng will be very happy!
but--
While Sherry was still carefully considering her options, she heard that the Emperor's reward had arrived.
There are silver-plated gold double-stranded pearl hairpins and gold-inlaid tourmaline peach and bat hairpins, which look delicate and charming.
Jade leaves, golden petals and shell petals, combined with jade beads, create a fresh and lovely beaded flower design.
A pair of gold bracelets featuring two dragons playing with a pearl, and a box of silver ingots.
There was also a bolt of fabric in shades of light blue, crimson, reed, and lilac.
Sherry was a little surprised; it seems she performed well yesterday!
Sherry handed Su Peisheng a large purse: "Thank you for your trouble, Father-in-law. However, I would like to read some travelogues or something to pass the time. Would that be convenient?"
Su Peisheng took the purse with a smile as warm as a spring breeze: "You flatter me, young master. They can borrow it from Wenyuan Pavilion."
"Then I thank you for your guidance, Father-in-law!" Xue Li said with a smile, supporting Jin'er.
Not long after, Sherry received a book as a gift from Emperor Yongzheng.
With a book covering his face, he lay on the rocking chair, basking in the sun while secretly watching the loving mother and son next door.
Yes, it's Jingren Palace!
Sherry then saw Hongli and his wife, Lady Fucha.
Sherry suddenly realized that by this time, Emperor Yongzheng had probably already written the imperial edict of succession and hidden it behind the plaque of "Upright and Bright"!
Indeed, none of Consort Nian's children survived.
Even if Consort Qi's son didn't die in despair, he wouldn't be able to shoulder the responsibility of ruling an empire.
Consort Yu and her son were still clinging to Consort Xi's leg!
So, it's her turn to stir things up!
At the very least, Emperor Yongzheng could no longer consume those elixirs!
Or perhaps, to prolong the life of Emperor Yongzheng!?
Sherry racked her brains trying to figure out how to use her methods.
I thought about it for a long time.
We don't have enough manpower.
It's a typical routine, nothing special.
...
Sherry was on the verge of tears, and suddenly felt she needed to watch some palace dramas from later generations.
How come she only learned poisoning and seduction in her entire life?!
Sherry was so angry at herself that she laughed.
Looking at the books on my desk, I flipped through a few pages and fell asleep.
After waking up in the middle of the night and drinking a glass of water, Sherry remembered the system.
My soul entered the secret realm, and then I walked to the forest and called out to the system.
The system cat is probably just having fun by playing games on its phone.
It's still a single-player game...
"System!" Sherry called out tentatively.
"What's wrong?" The system's cat ears twitched, but it didn't look up.
"Can you hear me?" Sherry glanced at its single-player game.
"I'm not deaf!" System Meow retorted somewhat bitterly.
"Let me tell you, my little world this time has other systems too!" Sherry said in a surprised tone.
"Oh—huh? What did you say? Who stole my spot?" System Meow suddenly jumped up.
Separated by a grove of trees, they, one a demon and the other a goddess, seemed like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl separated by the Milky Way.
Sherry laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight from her own imagined scenario.
The system cat looked sloppy and annoyed.
"Are you out of your mind?!"
"Ahem, do you remember my cheap master who taught me how to enter dreams?" Sherry remembered the important matter.
"Sorry, honey, I wasn't paying attention! Did you forget?"
"..." At this moment, Sherry felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to waste some ancient jade to beat it up.
"Hahaha, I knew it! Great Demon, your brain isn't fully developed! You even forgot this!"
It is probably an eternal law that happiness is built on the suffering of others.
The system cat is extremely happy right now!
"..."
"You want to hit me, don't you? I knew it! Huh, you can't hit me, you can't hit me, you can't hit me!" The system cat kept wiggling its butt at her.
Sherry's smile grew even gentler, and the whole snake was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Tell me, what if I don't bind that system to my own use, and then you just stay there!"
"..." The System Meow's expression froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, "Great Demon, you're bullying me, waaaaaah..."
"Heh, I was just teasing you. At most, I'll snatch it and make it your little brother!" Sherry coaxed, though she still preferred its unruly nature.
"Hmph! What are you saving up so many points for? To take them to your grave? Just buy a Dream Scroll, there are many other types! We recommend 'Live Broadcast,' a friendly reminder, essential for palace intrigue, my dear!"
The system cat instantly regained its professional demeanor and gave a serious introduction.
"A must-have for palace intrigue, so why haven't I ever bought one?" Sherry added a few more jade pendants, then took out the dream entry ticket she needed and examined it carefully.
Hmm, it looks like a banknote!
"Why don't you know your place? You stingy bastard!" System Meow cursed.
"How did you know my character this time is a stingy person?" Sherry said before falling asleep.
The system cat was left bewildered.
In the early morning, Sherry woke up and remembered what had happened during the night!
On the desk in the secret cabin, the little fox was fast asleep, lying on the dream ticket.
Sherry stroked the fox twice and took out the dream ticket.
So, live streaming... well, we can only wait for Hongli to do something?
Sherry has finally found something worthwhile!
Other dignitaries often agreed to things like spending money on perfumes and ointments, or having various beautiful clothes made.
Sherry also arranged for someone to take the materials down to make it!
