The emperor and empress, who were recorded by officials as being discordant, did indeed have a somewhat discordant atmosphere at this moment.
Zhu Wuhuan lowered his head and counted the bamboo sticks on his side unhappily, then glanced at the bamboo sticks on Feng Changye's side with great anger.
She only has seventeen bamboo sticks!
He's twenty-three!
Originally each person was supposed to have twenty skewers, but he just snatched three skewers from her. That was too much!
She stared at Feng Changye with resentment—
tyrant!
Do you know that for a super foodie, you can use the money in her bag to buy an extra meal, and she won't mind being stingy. But you absolutely cannot snatch food directly from her bowl, or you will be beaten to death!
Feng Changye calmly washed his hands in the fragrant water brought by the eunuch, pretending not to hear her inner voice, pretending not to notice her resentful gaze.
But the young eunuch held back his laughter and kept stealing glances at her, so he had no choice but to look away helplessly.
Taking in her pouting and sulking look like a little hamster, his eyes softened and he compromised.
"I'll give you some musk bead bracelets. They'll look great on you, since you have fair wrists."
Zhu Wuhuan looked at him dimly.
"Things outside of the body are not edible like chicken feet or shrimps, so what's the point of having them?"
Feng Changye glanced at her.
He wiped his hands and said, "Queen, please stop. I am willing to give you the bracelet. Please use this opportunity to step down."
He scoffed, "I only stole two skewers of chicken feet and one skewers of shrimp from you. How much could they be worth? But this musk bead bracelet I gave you can be sold for a fortune. You've made a killing."
Zhu Wuhuan replied quietly, "Yes, the musk bead bracelet is very valuable. But why was Your Majesty willing to give me the priceless bracelet afterwards instead of giving up the fight with me for the two strings of chicken feet and shrimp? Isn't it because you, like me, think they taste better than the bracelet?"
"Queen!"
Feng Changye looked at her speechlessly, "I advise you not to be so presumptuous."
"emperor!"
Zhu Wuhuan also looked at him with grievance, "You stole my things and you are still mean to me. Can an emperor be so unreasonable and do whatever he wants?"
Feng Changye was so angry that he almost laughed.
He finally saw the true nature of a foodie!
How honest this woman pretended to be in front of him before!
Now that he had snatched the food from her mouth, she actually dared to challenge him.
He glanced at her twice, taking in her aggrieved look, and suddenly he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
It seems that I can grab it a few more times in the future. It’s quite fun.
He walked past her, slowly reached out and tapped her brow, leaned over and chuckled softly in her ear, "Yes, the emperor can be so unreasonable, he can do whatever he wants, what can you do to me?"
After saying that, he walked to the other side of the desk to review the memorials.
I feel much better.
Zhu Wuhuan raised his hands to cover his ears that were blown by the hot breath from his mouth, glaring at him with gritted teeth, feeling so angry!
Girls in modern life still envy women in ancient times, who only needed to be supported by men at home all day long and did not have to do anything. Look, look, this is what it was like for women to be supported by men. They even felt so depressed when eating a skewer of barbecue!
In the 21st century, she worked part-time to earn money and ate barbecue every night with her mouth full of oil. Who could control her?
Seeing how depressed she was, the system ran out timidly.
It said cautiously.
[Host, being an emperor means you can do whatever you want. He is the emperor now, he can do whatever he wants. When you become the empress, you can do whatever you want too! So, be more active in completing the missions. Become the empress sooner and gain freedom sooner!]
Zhu Wuhuan closed his eyes and laughed in his heart.
"The Tyrant isn't a good person, are you? At least the Tyrant stole three skewers of barbecue from me right in front of me. I know exactly how much he took from me! What about you? You secretly deducted my reward points for completing the mission, and you still refuse to admit it!"
She sneered, "I'm afraid I'll be screwed if I do missions with a dishonest system like yours. I'm done with it. Let's end it together!"
If the system had hair, it would be so worried that it would fall out in clumps if it were pulled.
It grunted and hawed for a long time before finally giving in.
[Well, let's do this. I'll show you the original version of the tasks the main system sent me, but! I'm going to take 10% of the profits, and this can't be changed! I also need points to keep the system running normally, otherwise if the system crashes, you won't be able to use it!]
Zhu Wuhuan curled his lips.
[That's about right. I'll give you 10% of the profit.]
The system breathed a sigh of relief.
It silently presented a transparent page in front of Zhu Wuhuan, the kind that only Zhu Wuhuan could see.
On the transparent page, there are the actual reward points amounts for the two tasks currently in progress.
The first task shows a status of Completed.
It is to save the entire Zhu family.
The number of bonus points marked at the end is——
One hundred points!
Zhu Wuhuan was shocked when he saw the points number!
She cursed, "You're such a jerk! System! You took away 90 points from this 100-point mission, leaving me with only 10! You're so mean!"
The system timidly explained, "That's because the Power Pill you won in the lottery was worth ninety-nine points. So I deducted ninety points. Even so, I still lost nine points."
Zhu Wuhuan continued to sneer, "Please understand, the Power Pills are part of the Newbie Gift Pack. This is a benefit you gave me, a benefit! You're deducting my points from the benefit you gave me. That's not a benefit at all, that's just a joke! You're treating me like a fool and making fun of me!"
The system fell silent. Zhu Wuhuan continued reading.
Next is the second task, gathering of heroes.
The number of points at the end was correct: sixty. This time, the system didn't take any points.
Seeing this, Zhu Wuhuan felt a little relieved.
This system is not too unscrupulous. It just wants to get back what it lost, and it doesn't want to continue to cheat her.
If it was really that dark, she wouldn't have discovered today that it had cheated her of points.
Then, her tone softened. "This is your first time working on the system, so it's normal to make mistakes. I forgive you. Let's put this matter behind us. Just give me the points, and we'll continue to be good partners from now on."
When the system heard the host say this, it was immediately moved.
Oh, the host is still very kind!
Zhu Wuhuan continued, "Then, open up your system mall for me to see. From now on, let's do this: I buy something, and you can take an extra 10% as your commission, but I want to see the actual sales figures for those products. I'm sure the system that just tricked me will understand this, right?"
System: Its scalp suddenly tingled! If it had a scalp!
Because it suddenly remembered that the retrospective pill that the host bought from it before was worth twenty points, and it sold it at a high price of fifty points!
