"Marquis of Zhennan?"
"It seems that the Marquis of Zhennan is so beautiful that Miss Lan can't even see me."
Murong Tianci's eyebrows were curved, but there was a hint of cold ridicule in his tone.
The two men's eyes fell on the emperor at the same time, and the emperor felt an electric current surge in his scalp.
It's cold and numb.
He subconsciously shrank his neck, and a feeling floated on his forehead, which was: Not good, it's over!
"You're too kind, Imperial Master. I saw the Marquis of Zhennan first, and then the Imperial Master came in. That's why I didn't see you, the Imperial Master. Are you angry with me?"
"How could that be? There are so many rude people in the world, and Miss Lan can't even get a chance to get on top of them. If I get angry at them all, how would I have the energy to do that?"
Lan Ruoyue was stunned.
No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Murong Tianci was scolding her.
But she didn't expect Murong Tianci to be so bold as to speak like that in front of the emperor.
The emperor chuckled and said, "I thought you were busy today, so I didn't invite you over. It just so happens that this fragrant piglet is almost roasted. My Lord and Imperial Master, how about you enjoy it with me?"
Not a big deal!
Zhou Yunshen was very angry.
Roast suckling pig is delicious, but hot pot is more fragrant. I finally get to spend a day at home, and I still have to persuade this crazy emperor. How can I not be angry?
Zhou Yunshen's face was as dark as ink. He picked up the chair with anger in his heart, knocked it hard on the ground, and sat down not far away.
The emperor was shocked: Did I do something wrong? It seems not. Why does he look like he wants to take off my pants and spank me?
Lan Ruoyue felt the suffocating pressure that made her unable to straighten her back.
"Brother-in-law, why are you and Miss Lan eating the little medicine pig alone? This little medicine pig has been raised on a medicinal diet since birth. Not only is its skin and meat delicate, but it also has warming and tonic properties. I heard you say before that you wanted to make it into a dish for the Empress Dowager's birthday, so why are you roasting it now? Could it be that... the Empress Dowager's birthday was moved up by more than two months?"
oops!
The emperor's blood pressure dropped a few points. He was so happy when he first learned about the hot weapons. In addition, his relationship with the empress dowager had eased a lot recently, so he forgot about it.
Damn, even Murong Tianci remembers these words, so there must be someone in the palace who remembers them too.
If the Queen Mother asks about it, he won't be able to produce anything...
The emperor frowned, feeling a surge of regret in his heart.
It’s all Lan Ruoyue’s fault. If she hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have roasted this pig!
Zhou Yunshen saw the emperor's irritation and felt relieved. "Tianci, don't panic. The Queen Mother's birthday is still a while away. Just find another piglet and raise it carefully. There's still time."
"What the Marquis of Zhennan said is true. Then I'll leave this matter to..."
"Your Highness and I have been quite busy these past few days, and I'm afraid we won't be able to spare the time to attend to the Empress Dowager's gift. I heard that Miss Lan has a wealth of medicinal herbs and a number of imperial physicians skilled in medicinal cuisine. The Emperor can leave it to Miss Lan."
"Marquis Zhennan is right. This is how Miss Luo Lan came to be."
Lan Ruoyue was surprised, and when she realized what was happening, she found that the emperor had even bestowed upon her the title of Pig Protector.
Royal Pig...are you serious?
Lan Ruoyue was extremely reluctant, but she said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, this title... Besides, I'm a doctor, and I have to admit many patients. You want me to raise pigs..."
Three parts grievance, three parts embarrassment, three parts unwillingness, and one part anger.
Lan Ruoyue handled it very well this time. Even Zhou Yunshen was impressed by her change. She was very patient this time.
"It's okay. The backyard of the Union Medical College is very big. Besides, it's just a little piglet. It won't be in the way. This is also for the health of the Queen Mother. Miss Lan, don't you agree?"
The system laughed heartily: [Hahaha, the emperor is very filial. Zhou Yunshen will roast you on the fire, and you have no choice but to agree.]
Lan Ruoyue cursed in her heart: [What are you laughing at? You won't feel good even if I get humiliated. What's so funny about that?]
The system made a face at her: [Who told you to scold me? You deserve it!]
[You're talking too much nonsense! I'm telling you, if I fail, you'll die too. If you want to survive, help me get through this difficult time!]
The system shrugged nonchalantly: "It's just a pig, what's the big deal? Remember that novel I gave you? Later in the story, you had someone send a free-range chicken as tribute, and the chicken tripped the Queen Mother and she fell into the water. You saved her, and from then on, she became her goddaughter."
[But the free-range chicken got out of control because the pig chased it, giving the chicken a chance to bump into the Queen Mother, and giving you a chance to become the Queen Mother's adopted daughter.]
[So that's how it is!] Lan Ruoyue suddenly understood.
The focus of everything is the pig!
Lan Ruoyue bowed and smiled, "Long live the Empress Dowager. I will work hard and live up to your grace!"
System: ...As expected, whoever gives you milk is your mother, and when there are benefits, you will rush forward.
When it comes to snobbery, if its host admits to being second, no one dares to claim to be first.
But couldn't she have done some planning before taking action? She'd seen all the major events of the future, and yet she didn't even know something this important. What an idiot!
The system's contempt for her increased even more.
Murong Tianci: "It's rare that Miss Lan is so thoughtful. Did the Emperor just say that you want to take in patients?"
"To reply to the Imperial Master, yes, there are too many patients pouring into the Imperial Capital. We are a medical clinic, and if there is any need for help later, we can help quickly. The Emperor has already approved this."
Are you trying to stop me with the Emperor? Fine, fine, let me see if I'm afraid!
Murong Tianci smiled, looking gorgeous and radiant. "Miss Lan, you really have a kind heart. We are able to live in a free house and receive free care and support. We must be very grateful to you. Miss Lan, I believe in you. Come on."
Ah... free? Who said it was free?
She wanted to take advantage of the situation and increase her own popularity, but she never said it was free.
Zhou Yunshen smiled faintly and said, "No rent, no herbs, so it's only natural that it's free. But I see Miss Lan's serious expression. Is there something you're hiding?"
The implication is: You are a worthless bastard. I ask you for help because I think highly of you. I have my own unspeakable secrets but I am keeping them to myself!
Lan Ruoyue looked at his expression and swallowed her words back into her stomach.
"No problem, I can do it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty. Would you mind chatting about something? The Imperial Preceptor and I have something important to report."
When the emperor saw their expressions, he felt a little uneasy.
I really want to say that I don’t have time and it’s inconvenient, but when the words come to my lips, I can’t say them.
"Then let's go to the study and talk. Miss Lan, the Crown Prince and Xiaoliu are still in the Queen's Palace. I asked them to come and keep you company."
Lan Ruoyue breathed a sigh of relief only after the emperor took the two away.
"Zhou Yunshen is indeed a villain. He's under a lot of pressure. I wonder what he wants from the emperor."
System: [This doesn't seem like a good thing. Just wait and see. I think we should do this!]
