Lady Yang of Fengyang Palace led a group of palace servants to wait for their master's actions, keeping their eyes on him and observing his movements out of the corner of their eye without offending him.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and Lady Yang was startled.
Suddenly, an extremely beautiful dress appeared out of thin air! It was so beautiful that the elaborate decorations did not diminish its charm at all.
Those with a keen eye can even spot that there isn't a single loose thread. You know, even the best embroiderer can't avoid this flaw.
Flawless!
Everyone who saw it had this thought.
Ling Xiao excitedly unfolded the prop and was pleased to find that its "intelligence-reducing" function was definitely extraordinary. Look, one moment it adds 20 to charm, the next it gives a cool and aloof temperament, and it even has scene effects.
"My goodness, host, we sold this item for at least 30,000 points. Don't worry, this system has connections, we'll definitely get a good price for it."
Overwhelmed with joy, she called him "host" in the sweetest way imaginable.
"Oh," Ling Xiao looked very happy, a smile blooming on her small and delicate face, she was as sweet as a little person wrapped in honey.
He kept urging Ling Xiao to act as a middleman and sell the props, but Ling Xiao ignored him.
As soon as she got her hands on the prop, another excellent script popped into her mind!
………………
Inside Xingqing Palace, on a sandalwood desk, wisps of smoke rose from an incense burner shaped like a beast's head, leaving the emperor with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"Wang Qing, what are your thoughts on what happened today?"
Prime Minister Wang Yi, seated below, stroked his beard and frowned as he spoke, "The reappearance of the deceased Emperor Taizu's daughter—is this a blessing or a curse for the imperial family and the Great Jin Dynasty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I was quite frightened just now. After all, it was a ghost from the underworld. Even after studying the words of the sages for so many years, I still couldn't see through it."
Situ Songren took over the conversation, looking as if he was still in shock.
"Who would have thought that ghosts and spirits would actually appear, especially the spirit of my noble lady from the Li family? Alas."
Li Yue pressed his hand to his forehead and sighed deeply. He hadn't felt so powerless in a long time, even with the supreme power in his hands.
"What is Your Majesty worried about? I haven't even congratulated Your Majesty yet," said Minister Xu Yan with a loud laugh.
Ghosts have appeared, and you're still congratulating me?
The assembled officials were quite puzzled, but after all, it was a gathering of human sperm.
A moment later, Wang Yi's eyes lit up. "Yes, Your Majesty, the arrival of the ghosts and gods has also brought news of the underworld dynasty."
The living may disregard His Majesty's authority, but what if they knew that even the dead would be subject to the dynasty's control?
"Moreover, the descending spirit is related to the royal family by blood. You know, even if the bones are severed, the tendons are still connected. His Majesty has to call that person 'aunt'!"
At this point, Wang Yi stood up, his expression extremely excited.
As a feudal dynasty, the Great Jin was on the rise, and naturally, it was impossible for it to be without opponents.
Amidst powerful families, influential clans, and barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall, Li Yue faces not only a flourishing imperial dynasty but also hidden crises.
Who says the arrival of ghosts and spirits can't be a brand new opportunity?
The emperor slowly straightened up, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
Seeing this, Xu Yan glared fiercely at his old rival, grinding his teeth so hard that even Song Ren next to him could hear it.
Damn it, I didn't even have a chance to speak before that old thief beat me to it!
Wang Yi sat down comfortably, took a sip of tea, and took off his shoes under the table to relax his toes.
Ha! You don't even know the importance of striking first? And you're still trying to act tough in front of His Majesty! I'll teach you a lesson.
That's why I'm the prime minister and you're the minister of state.
As the emperor and his ministers had predicted, after the banquet, the lights in the residences of many officials remained on all night.
People carrying lanterns in the darkness were constantly heading to some place.
The city gatekeeper was puzzled as he watched the pigeons fly away. There was no bell ringing today, but it looked like something big was about to happen.
Oblivious to the high expectations placed upon him, Ling Xiao cuddled up and slept soundly, "resting and conserving my energy first."
When Lady Yang received inquiring glances from her subordinates, she was momentarily at a loss. The Grand Princess's sleeping posture... was rather elegant.
As palace servants, they had rules to follow, but who would dare to openly instruct her on how to sleep?
Who knows, we might end up being dragged down to hell!
After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and lowered the bed curtains embroidered with hundreds of herbs, and extinguished the tallow candles in the hall one by one.
The main hall instantly darkened. After leaving a cup of warm water by the bedside, Lady Yang and the others quietly withdrew.
Ling Xiao smiled silently and turned over.
Ling Xiao enjoyed being waited on hand and foot until the system, unable to bear it any longer, urged him to start implementing the plan.
……………………
In recent days, undercurrents have been surging within the Great Jin Dynasty, with many forces eagerly beginning to exert their influence, mostly concerning Ling Xiao.
The emperor made a token attempt to stop them, but then allowed them to contact Ling Xiao.
Soon rumors spread that the suddenly appearing Grand Princess of Qin was actually a fraud who had used magic to deceive the court officials and the Emperor.
The rumors intensified, after all, although many people could see it that time, it was still a very small minority for the entire Great Jin Dynasty.
Without seeing is believing, most people remain skeptical.
"Host, what should we do? Are we going to be exposed?"
Even though they were in such a hurry to climb onto the roof and remove the tiles, Ling Xiao remained as unhurried as ever.
He sipped the newly offered Qingxi Yunwu tea, tapped the table, and said, "The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. What's there to be afraid of? Let me fight..."
Before the words were finished, Lady Yang appeared cautiously and glanced at her master very quickly.
At such a young age, she already possesses extraordinary beauty, with flawless, translucent skin and perfectly proportioned features.
