Chapter 59: A Wise Ruler
In harem growth survival games, there is one essential item.
In front of the three hosts, a brand new personal attribute table from the system evaluation suddenly appeared.
Shi Weizhi:
Talent: 0 (Although you don't know anything, it doesn't matter. I don't care.)
Communication: -100 (Negative points are a sign of failure. Recommended books include "The Art of Emotionally Intelligent Speaking" and "Just Know How to Talk.")
Overall Strength: 99999 (I'm not that stupid rule of the infinite flow. I can detect your strength value and won't explode.)
*Current Emperor Favorability: 0 (He married the Empress under pressure from the previous dynasty and has no feelings for her.)]
Pei Ciyi:
Appearance: -50 (Because she's too good-looking, she often disrupts the system's willingness to work, so I'm giving her a negative score.)
Etiquette: -50 (You should also speak properly and stop being sarcastic all day long!)
Money: 1999999... Points (? I discovered you have so many points! Hand them over now!)
*Current Emperor Favorability: 0 (Married under pressure from the previous dynasty, it's ok to leave her as is, but they are not on the same path.)]
Mingfengque:
[Family Background: The only phoenix in millions of years, direct descendant of the Ice Phoenix bloodline (Not bad, worthy of being the protagonist of the cultivation world.)
Mentality: -99 (Why do you always manage to ruin the mentality of the birds around you? Don’t you feel guilty about it?)
Aesthetics: 99999 (Alas, it’s a pity that the system doesn’t care about the host’s fancy things.)
*Current Emperor Favorability: 0 (I wish I had no dealings with the enemy emperor, who keeps to himself.)]
Three people: "..."
The powerful hosts who have always had SSS+ scores and even blew up the main god space, found out for the first time that in the attribute table in their system's mind, most of them are negative.
This type of table is most common in word games. They have done their homework before, so it is not too unfamiliar to them now.
Here at Chu Qingkong, they were actually given a form each, with a long and careful comment attached.
Every word was a sincere complaint. One could even imagine the sparkling light in his eyes and the sly smile that he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips when he wrote this sentence.
Chu Qingkong himself is in a state of amnesia during this branch quest. However, Chu Qingkong, who made this table, always kept them in his heart - trying to create death anytime, anywhere and in any way.
The three hosts glanced at the form again, ignoring the scores and comments, thinking only of his feelings, and a slight smile appeared in their eyes.
but--
Chuchu has lost his memory, so this table really represents their initial impression in Chuchu's mind.
The initial goodwill is not negative, so should they still be grateful?
...No, they chose to record this matter first and settle the score with Chuchu later.
…
At night, there was a faint sound of wind blowing through the quietness. It was almost winter, and fine snow fell from the blue sky.
A man walked straight towards the door of the imperial study.
A young man in a black satin cross-collared robe, his purple eyes beneath his white hair reflected in the snow light, appearing inexplicably calm and cold, wrapped in a chill, as if stepping out of the night.
The young eunuch at the door recognized Shi Weizhi and said quickly, "Greetings to the Empress."
Shi Weizhi was the first to find Chu Qingkong.
Although the plot requires palace fighting and the protagonist is Chu Qingkong, the emperor, he did not see any of his shadow for the entire day.
The emperor was going to flip the cards at the hour of Xu, but he waited until the hour of Hai was almost over and a new day was about to begin, but still no news came. It was said that he had flipped any of his concubines.
He worried that something might have happened to him.
So I came here specifically to take a look.
The person who led the way said that the emperor was in the imperial study. He paused slightly, repeated it to confirm, and then walked over here.
Sure enough, bright yellow palace lanterns lit up in the distance, gleaming brightly in the darkness.
Late at midnight, the imperial study was still brightly lit.
The young eunuch received the order, bowed, walked into the imperial study, and reported:
"Your Majesty, the Queen requests an audience."
The imperial study is filled with curling smoke and a refreshing minty aroma that is refreshing and invigorating, making it extremely suitable for high-intensity work.
The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of fifteen and has been diligent in his work for four years.
He was first famous for his stunning appearance, but because of his age he was not able to convince the people and was considered an incompetent and incompetent emperor. Now, under his governance, the country has enjoyed long-term stability and peace, which has completely changed the public's view.
"The Queen?"
Behind the desk, the cold and aloof young emperor had his white hair draped over his shoulders and back, but he had no time to comb it again, so he just let it hang loose, adding a touch of messy fragility to his overly delicate appearance.
No one knew that Chu Qingkong was a system.
The end point of inorganic AI beauty is fragility.
His hand holding the brush was extremely steady as he reviewed the memorials without raising his brows. His voice was emotionless, and there seemed to be a hint of barely perceptible disdain in it.
He didn't even stop writing, and said calmly, "I'm working, let him go."
The memorial has not been approved yet.
The favorability is 0, the real deal, saying one more word is considered giving him face.
It was now midnight. In ancient times, curfews were always earlier. At this time, not to mention the emperor in the palace, even ordinary people would have fallen asleep early.
But Chu Qingkong was still reviewing the piles of memorials.
The country is so big that the local reports are like snowflakes, and there are also reports on the developments of many neighboring countries, which increases the workload.
Chu Qingkong had to carefully review each book, and it was common for him to work until late at night.
Shi Weizhi: “…”
Work?
He had an extremely sharp hearing and he heard the voice inside without the eunuch's help. He couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
His system has to continue working even in the side storyline???
...Forget it, it's better than him being with some shabby people.
The cats and dogs are of course referring to the other two, their biggest enemies who make people feel annoyed just by looking at them.
In the imperial study.
The young eunuch couldn't help but shed tears, and kindly reminded His Majesty to take care of his health, saying that the midnight snack prepared by the imperial kitchen would be here soon. Then he turned around and left without disturbing His Majesty again.
He closed the door and said in a voice that was almost whispered, "Empress... please do not enter. The Emperor is reviewing memorials..."
After all, he was still a small eunuch with little influence. It was difficult for him to say anything to the Queen, but his eyes showed all the necessary condemnation and disapproval.
Your Majesty, your behavior today is truly inappropriate!
His Majesty is still working. Why are you interrupting him for a trivial matter involving a concubine's vying for favor? What if he's forced to stop reviewing memorials? Can you afford the delay?
Shi Weizhi: “…”
"Where is the imperial kitchen?" His voice was cold, but his words were shocking. "I can prepare your Majesty's supper tonight."
…
At this moment, Pei Ci was sitting in the back garden, holding his chin, lazily admiring the flowers and the moon.
He quickly accepted the fact that his position was that of a demon concubine, but he couldn't understand why he tried every way to make his presence felt in front of Chu Qingkong, but in the end he got a negative appearance score, because it was said that it would affect his work.
This is certainly a bit excessive.
But he is too thick-skinned.
Pei Ci smiled slightly, raised his eyes and raised his glass to the moon. He saw how charming the moon was, and thought the moon must see the same in him.
The maid who glanced over secretly trembled: "..."
Imperial Concubine, you've finally lost all patience with the Emperor's ruthlessness and the Empress's even more ruthlessness, and are you going mad?!
Pei Ci drank the wine in one gulp without feeling any sadness or loss.
Didn't the comment he wrote at the beginning mean that he admitted that his appearance was indeed to his taste?
His system has always been arrogant, and it is harder than climbing to the sky to have something more important than work in his heart, but he has been doing it step by step, imperceptibly, and is about to succeed.
Very good.
Pei Ci smiled slightly, thinking in a good mood, and gently picked up a branch of early winter pink plum that flew obliquely with his fingertips and crushed it.
Chu Qingkong should be working now, right? Then I won't go to him. As a demon concubine, of course I have to know when to advance and when to retreat.
However, during this time, I can cause some trouble for some people.
He stood up slowly and walked towards the Queen's Kunning Palace.
…
Emperor's bedroom and hot spring baths.
Thick white steaming mist filled the entire bathtub, while the guards outside emptied themselves silently.
There is total silence here, not a single sound.
Someone showed up who shouldn't be here.
Ming Fengque leaned against the wall of the bathtub, his white clothes almost wet, revealing the phoenix pattern on his back, his posture was pure and elegant.
A glimmer flashed in his phoenix eyes as he looked towards the door.
He rectified the current situation in the enemy country as quickly as possible, appointed loyal ministers to read memorials on his behalf, and then put aside his affairs, traveled thousands of miles from the enemy country, concealed his figure, and came to Chu Qingkong's palace hot spring.
He knew it very well.
With both of his rivals in Chu Qingkong's harem, it would be incredibly easy for them to do anything. If he was just a step behind, he would have no chance of winning.
So here comes the adventure.
According to the information he had received, Chu Qingkong would come to the hot spring to bathe before going to bed every day, so he simply staged a scene of landing himself in his hot spring.
By then... the matter will have been settled. Not to mention marrying into Chu Qingkong's harem, even letting him return to the enemy country and marrying him wouldn't be a problem.
The ideal is very beautiful.
He just stood in this amazing pose with the angles he had studied, waiting for almost half the night, his arms were a little stiff, but Chu Qingkong still didn't show up.
What is Chu Qingkong doing?
Ming Fengque frowned slightly, wondering if he had already changed his route to the Queen or the Imperial Concubine's palace. The two of them... had made such rapid progress on the first day.
"Go out," he raised his fingertips slightly, and his spiritual power turned into a black bird, and ordered coldly, "See what Chu Qingkong is doing."
The little bird flapped its wings and flew out, its black coat blending perfectly into the night, making it a perfect detective.
It quickly flew back.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!"
"..." Ming Fengque's eyes turned cold, and his voice was almost gritting his teeth. "What did you say? Chu Qingkong is still working in the Imperial Study. He doesn't plan to come back until all the memorials are approved?"
The frosty cold gradually got out of control.
Are Shi Weizhi and Pei Ciyi useless? Can't they even persuade the emperor to approve the memorials?
Imperial study.
A clear voice rang out: "Let's stop here for today's memorials."
The word "just" is contrasted with the clean memorial on the desk.
Although he has lost his memory, the emperor is also a worker!
In Chu Qingkong's subconscious, the side storyline was nothing more than changing the place to work, and there was nothing special to pay attention to.
He looks almost the same now as when he activated the highest authority defense mode.
But compared to the time when they were chasing people with AK-47s and shooting them, forcing them to "become weak in flesh and blood, and ascend mechanically", it is now more peaceful and more humane.
The young eunuch said, "Your Majesty, please drink the snow pear soup to warm yourself up before you leave."
"Um."
Chu Qingkong took a sip of the snow pear soup that was delivered to him by the imperial kitchen late at night. He sighed, wondering why the soup was sweeter than usual. Then he heard the eunuch say, "This was made by the Empress herself."
"Would the Queen do this?"
The young emperor's eyebrows were slightly dazed, and he took another sip hesitantly.
But the next second, his fingertips flashed, and a silver needle appeared and inserted it.
The silver needles did not change color and were not poisonous.
Noticing this, Shi Weizhi: "..."
I'm so angry again.
Chu Qingkong seemed to finally feel relieved. He blinked his eyes, finished his pear soup, and said cheerfully:
"I actually never knew that... well, since he likes it, let him do it. It's at least a token of his appreciation. If he's free tomorrow night, we can let him do it again."
The young eunuch observed his expression and asked, "Do you want to go to the Empress's place tonight?"
Chu Qingkong hummed, and just as he was thinking about something, he suddenly found that the environment around him was suddenly quiet, and all his vision became hazy and blurred as if covered by a piece of glass.
This scene happened in the real world for just a moment and was incredibly strange.
what happens?
A dark blue screen suddenly popped up in front of him.
