Chapter 22 System Rewards

Emperor Yuan Yong gently patted her hand and said to her in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. She can't do anything. Lan'er, just avoid a direct confrontation with her."

The Fu family is powerful, and there is a queen mother in the palace. Concubine Lian is a concubine after all, and he needs to balance a lot of things. Xu Lanshan is of too humble a birth, so even if he wants to protect her, he can't force her to do so, otherwise she will only become the target of public criticism.

Xu Lanshan seemed to be relieved, and nodded with a smile: "Well, with the emperor's words, I feel relieved!"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed. Lan'er trusted him so much! She was such an innocent person.

As a man, the desire to protect him arises naturally.

He must protect her and live up to her trust and innocence.

As he was speaking, Yuchan came back with the pair of jade bracelets and quickly presented them to him.

Xu Lanshan put on the bracelets with a smile, raised her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, do they look good?"

Does it look good? Is that even a question? Her skin was already fair, and this exquisite jade bracelet on her slender wrist was like a pool of spring water, emerald green and clear, contrasting beautifully with her slender wrist, making it impossible to look away.

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but hold Xu Lanshan's hands and stroke them gently, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He couldn't help but smile and sigh, "These bracelets look great on Lan'er. It's true that only Lan'er can wear them!"

Who doesn’t like beautiful and precious jewelry? Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty's taste is excellent! This is my blessing! Your Majesty, I am very happy..."

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed joyfully and held her in his arms, "Lan'er is so happy, I am also very happy!"

Xu Lanshan raised her eyes to look at him, and when their eyes met, she was surprised and shy, as if extremely embarrassed, and slowly lowered her eyes, revealing a long and slender neck, which was just as white and lovely.

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but caress her gently, "Lan'er is really perfect in every way..."

Xu Lanshan giggled and dodged while laughing: "Your Majesty, I'm itchy!"

"Itchy? Let me scratch it for you!"

"Oh, don't!"

"Then you just be good..."

"Hehe...I dare not!"

As the two of them laughed and joked, her soft voice brushed through his heart like a small brush. Emperor Yuan Yong's heart was moved, and he carried Xu Lanshan sideways into the bedroom...

That night, Xu Lanshan slept very soundly, and so did Emperor Yuan Yong.

When he woke up in the morning, Emperor Yuan Yong looked down at the beauty sleeping soundly in his arms and couldn't help but smile slightly. It was strange. In the past, he would never sleep with someone in his arms like this at night. This feeling was actually not unpleasant to him.

And the faint fragrance is refreshing, making people feel more relaxed for no reason.

A beauty is still a beauty even when she is asleep. Her delicate facial features reveal a bit of tenderness, innocence and tranquility, which makes people feel pity for her.

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but wanted to tease her, but ended up waking her up.

Xu Lanshan was sleeping soundly when someone disturbed her. She frowned and hummed to express her displeasure, and raised her hand to push the person away.

How could Emperor Yuan Yong let her push him? He was both angry and amused: "Lan'er, it's me!"

"Hmm?" Xu Lanshan opened her eyes, her dazed expression gradually coming back to her senses as she suddenly realized something: "Your Majesty!"

This lively expression amused Emperor Yuan Yong. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah!" Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly, her eyes still a little confused, looking pitiful and cute, "With the emperor accompanying me, how can it not be good! Your Majesty, is it late now? If not, then sleep a little longer."

It was still quite early; Dong Zhi hadn't even woken him up yet. If it were later, Dong Zhi would have woken him up. Emperor Yuan Yong knew this, as he had never missed a morning court session because of something like this.

That's not his style.

He then laughed and jokingly said, "You are so reluctant to leave me!"

Xu Lanshan blinked, her eyes moving as she nodded as if it was a matter of course, without hesitation: "It's natural!"

In this palace, who would be willing to give up all those who became his concubines? Who wouldn't want to have them all to himself?

Whether you love it or not is another matter, but at least you have status and a sense of accomplishment!

The two of them were laughing and joking like this, and Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but feel a little distracted again. He smiled helplessly and said, "Lan'er, if you make trouble again, I will remember it with my narrow-mindedness, and I will definitely not forgive you next time..."

Xu Lanshan curled her lips and murmured weakly: "Even though I didn't make trouble, you didn't spare me..."

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help laughing, but also felt somewhat helpless. This woman! She was truly born to torture him!

How could he not have noticed it before? Her words were so infuriating, delightful, and both amusing and sad. She seemed completely different from before.

He teased her with this, but the woman responded confidently: "The past is the past, and the present is the present! The past is different from the present. Now I am favored by the Emperor!"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily, and seeing that the time was almost up, he stopped teasing her and happily called out, "Someone come here!" Then he dressed, washed up, and went to court under the help of the eunuchs and palace maids.

Before leaving, he tiptoed back to the bedroom and looked at Xu Lanshan once. Seeing that her eyes were closed as if she had fallen asleep again, he couldn't help laughing. He didn't want to disturb her, so he turned around and left quietly.

As soon as he left, Xu Lanshan opened her eyes, stretched her limbs lazily, and completely relaxed her whole body. This was when she felt truly comfortable.

When the emperor is around, every cell in my body is acting. I have to be careful all the time to appear to be at ease. It's really annoying!

Okay, finally it's relaxing.

"Tongtong! The mission is completed, where's the reward?"

Although she had received the reward the first time, Xu Lanshan didn't actually have much hope for this time, but...it's better than nothing.

"Here you are, dear! Congratulations! Great job, dear! Rewards sent, please check it out, dear!"

"Oh!" Xu Lanshan couldn't wait to close her eyes and look at the electronic screen that appeared in her mind: body flexibility increased by 30%, dance talent increased by 60%, do you want to add it?

She specifically checked her original basic values ​​for these two items. One was only 30% of the progress bar, and the other was 20%. Very good, let's increase it!

She chose yes, with body flexibility reaching 60% and dance talent reaching 80%.

You have to know that according to the standards of this progress bar, most indicators that a normal person can only achieve are between 20% and 50%, and some normal people can only achieve 0. Therefore, every time the percentage increases, the performance in this body is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Xu Lanshan accepted these two "rewards" and was very convinced in her heart. It was worthy of being a palace fighting system, where the emperor was put first in everything.
