"...Please make the male lead Liu Shu and the male supporting character Liu Tan say 'I like you' at the same time in front of them. Completing the task will earn you 100 points and a chance to win a prize!"
As Li Shiyue bowed to Liu Tan and Liu Shu inside the carriage, the garbage system in her mind issued this task.
Li Shiyue, who had lowered her head, rolled her eyes. She had really underestimated the bottom line of a system with a name like "The Cultivation of a Favored Concubine".
Li Shiyue was also a little curious. Did Liu Tan have feelings for Li Chunli in the original book?
Are Liu Shu and Liu Tan rivals in love?
But at this age, isn't there a really big difference?
Regardless of what he was thinking or complaining about, Li Shiyue raised his head again and said respectfully to the two of them, "Greetings, Young Master and Prince. May I ask why you summoned me here?"
Liu Shu looked at Li Shiyue's men's attire, then turned to look at Liu Tan, who smiled but remained silent.
Liu Tan spoke up right after Li Shiyue: "The Crown Prince summoned me to have a talk, but I am not a good speaker."
Aren't you people from Lijia Village people who fled famine from Henan?
The Crown Prince had never heard of such a thing.
Moreover, it was you who told the Third Prince Ma where to go in advance, which allowed the prince to be rescued sooner.
"Come, Miss Li, come closer and sit down. Tell the young master about the hardships you've endured on your journey."
Li Shiyue looked at Liu Tan, then at Liu Shu, and felt that this task might actually be accomplished.
"Just coax the man, whether he's a little man or a grown man, if you can coax him, you'll be fine!"
With that in mind, Li Shiyue didn't refuse. Since they had already invited her to sit down, why should she be polite?
Li Shiyue plopped down opposite Liu Tan, who even offered to pour her a cup of tea.
After thanking Liu Tan, Li Shiyue looked at Liu Shu and asked, "I wonder what the young master would like to hear?"
Do you want to know how we escaped from Henan Province to get here?
Or perhaps you'd like to know about our experience accompanying the young master to the barbarian tribe?
From the last mission, Li Shiyue knew that Liu Shu, the heir apparent, rarely went out. Last time, she only talked about how she and Li Wangshui went to the grasslands to find horses, and Liu Shu was very happy to hear it and gave her a high level of favorability, helping her complete the mission.
Well then, let's talk about it. Doesn't he like hearing about fighting and killing?
Then tell him!
These things aren't things that can't be said, it's all for the sake of the mission. Once Liu Shu's ears are intrigued, the points will be a piece of cake!
"Madam Li, why don't you tell me everything? I'd love to hear it all."
When Li Shiyue met Liu Shu's starry eyes, she was somewhat surprised.
According to Li Shiyue's thinking, Liu Shu might just be less outgoing and less knowledgeable in this area, but her personal cultivation should be quite high.
After all, Liu Shu is the heir apparent, the successor to the head of the Andong Protectorate. How could he not be capable?
However, at this moment, Li Shiyue actually saw genuine joy in Liu Shu's eyes.
However, these thoughts only flashed through her mind for a moment before Li Shiyue agreed to Liu Shu's request and turned to look at Liu Tan.
Facing Li Shiyue's gaze, Liu Tan said directly, "Miss Li, please speak freely. Although there are no small matters in the army, the young master is the young master, and he will be in charge of Andong in the future. It is good for him to hear these things in advance."
With Liu Tan's permission, Li Shiyue spent the next half hour telling Liu Shu a vivid story about how the people of Lijia Village met Liu Tan, who had boarded the "Treading Waves" boat with them, after arriving at Sanshan Port. She described how they encountered Japanese pirates at sea and fought against them.
"...That's right. That night, many people died or were injured. The reason we followed the Xuanjia Army to Sanshan County this time was to go to the mortuary to bring back the bodies of our relatives so that we could bury them there."
Liu Shu was indeed somewhat shocked, just as Li Shiyue had thought, as the heir of the Prince's Mansion;
Just as Liu Tan said, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, Liu Shu will inherit the position of Prince of Zhenbei and take control of Andong;
He received the upbringing expected of a crown prince from a young age, but no one would tell him about the plight of ordinary people fleeing famine and hardship.
Therefore, he felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to what Li Shiyue said.
Seeing the somber atmosphere in the carriage, Li Shiyue quickly changed the subject, explaining why she had thought of searching for the barbarians' horses, how she had used the old horses to find the barbarian camp, and how she had informed Liu Tan and the Xuanjia Army to launch a surprise attack on this group of barbarians.
When Liu Shu heard Li Shiyue say that Liu Tan had beheaded the barbarian chieftain with a single stroke, her eyes widened with excitement.
"Good! Good! Elder brother is truly amazing! You deserve to be the great general of my Xuanjia Army!"
Father's praise of my elder brother in the past was an understatement. With your valor, you should be in full command of the Xuanjia Army!
Taking advantage of Liu Shu's good mood, Li Shiyue quickly followed and asked, "Your Highness, do you like my actions? Do you think my actions are inappropriate?"
Liu Shuben was still looking at Liu Tan when he heard Li Shiyue ask this question. He immediately turned to look at Li Shiyue and said, "How could that be?"
I greatly admire your boldness in facing the enemy!
Those barbarians deserve to be killed!
What's wrong with that!
"Task completion rate 50%!"
"See? I told you this little man is easy to please. Just say a few things he likes to hear, and he'll say whatever you want."
Although that's what she was thinking, Li Shiyue looked very moved, almost on the verge of tears. She cupped her hands in front of Liu Shu and said, "To receive such a word from the young master, I feel much more at ease!"
"Your Highness doesn't know, but my mother always says that my behavior is unladylike, and she's afraid I'll never be able to get married, haha."
Before Li Shiyue's laughter had completely subsided, she suddenly heard Liu Tan staring at her from the opposite side and asking, "So, Miss Li, are you still unwilling to serve as a soldier under this general?"
With your strength and quick wit, you'll surely be promoted soon. Once you become a general, why would your mother worry about these trivial matters?
Li Shiyue really didn't expect that Liu Tan truly valued his skills, as he had already brought up the matter of having him serve as a soldier under his command for the third time!
However, Li Shiyue took the opportunity of Liu Tan's question to ask him in return: "Does the young master like my skills?"
Although I am strong, I also eat a lot;
"I truly am worried. My brothers at home are few in number, my father is gone, and my second uncle is just a frail scholar. The whole family consists of women. How can I rest easy if I'm not home?"
"What is there to fear?"
I admire not only your skills, but also your spirited nature, which is rare among women. No wonder Jiu Niang can get along with you.
If you're still worried, then you can move your whole family to Sanshan County. It'll be closer to you; you won't be able to see each other every day, but you can always see each other every now and then."
