Chapter 4 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
No. 99 nodded, "I can see."
"That's good, that's good..."
Zhao Miaomiao thought about it again and felt that she had never done anything immoral before, so she plucked up her courage and walked over. Just after she took two steps, she heard the voice of an old lady.
"Stop, don't move."
Zhao Miaomiao was so scared that she really didn't dare to move.
The "thing" in the rocking chair opened its eyes, lifted the tattered quilt covering its body, and stood up unsteadily. It was a lame old lady.
The old lady looked at Zhao Miaomiao and asked, "You look young and pretty, why did you come to the cold palace?"
Zhao Miaomiao tried to answer, "Isn't the emperor pleased?"
He spread his hands and said honestly, "I don't know how I got in here."
The old lady smiled and said, "Then you can't get out. You don't even know how you got in, and you still want to get out?"
Zhao Miaomiao nodded seriously, "Well, I won't go out."
If she goes out, she has to fulfill her duties as a concubine. She doesn't want to break the law or hook up with minors, so she won't go out.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the cabinet in the house and said, "There's a bed and quilt inside. It's torn, but I've dried it in the sun. You can use it tonight."
After saying that, she no longer cared about Zhao Miaomiao and continued to lie back in the rocking chair, seemingly falling asleep again.
Zhao Miaomiao didn't know who this old lady was, but the word "Stop" she said just now was quite powerful.
Zhao Miaomiao thought about it and tried to imitate the old lady's tone, but she couldn't do it right.
Maybe this is innate dominance?
Zhao Miaomiao shook her head and said regretfully, "Alas, momentum requires experience. I'm still too young."
System No. 99 wanted to remind Zhao Miaomiao who the old lady belonged to, but seeing that Zhao Miaomiao didn't care at all, he happily went to the cabinet to take out the torn quilt, and greeted the old lady politely before leaving.
"Then grandma, I'm leaving first. I live next door, you can call me if you need anything."
The old lady lay back in the rocking chair with her eyes closed. When she heard what Zhao Miaomiao said, she waved her hand, indicating that she understood.
Zhao Miaomiao carried the torn quilt back to the east wing. After searching for a long time, she chose a good place, a small corner against the wall, and prepared to sleep on the floor there.
No. 99 has never seen such a host who goes with the flow. He is too Buddhist!
He didn't even ask what the original owner's name was, why she entered the palace, why she was sent to the cold palace as soon as she entered the palace, or who the old lady was.
There is no need to ask any of these!
Number 99 watched Zhao Miaomiao happily cleaning and making the bed in the corner, and couldn't help but say, "Host, you're not here for a camping trip. Please face this mission head-on. Find a way to escape from the cold palace immediately and become a favorite concubine."
Zhao Miaomiao: "Oh, I see. Do you think I'll be cold if I only have one quilt at night?"
No. 99: […Host, I will now tell you the original owner's story. Please listen carefully.]
The original owner's name was Su Lan, the second daughter of the Su family...]
Zhao Miaomiao: "No, no, this quilt is a bit thin."
No. 99: [Although the original owner is the second daughter of the Su family, she is not favored in the Su family. This time, she entered the palace mainly for two tasks...]
Zhao Miaomiao: "Or I can go to grandma's house and ask for another one. I wonder if she has any extra quilts."
Having said that, Zhao Miaomiao stood up and was about to go out.
Number 99 exploded, "Fuck it! Just listen to what I'm saying!"
Well, I'm angry.
So Zhao Miaomiao, who was about to step out, silently retracted his foot and said obediently, "Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."
No. 99 breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mood, and then began to tell the story of the original owner.
