"As a qualified concubine, the host must not only have her own charm and means, but also a strong background as a blessing."
"Host, please maintain a friendly relationship with the Grand Empress Dowager. When the favorability is greater than 70, the mission is completed and the host will have a chance to draw a lottery."
"Excuse me, host, do you choose to accept this mission?"
"Accept!" Si Muqiao.
She doesn't understand either!
Does she have the right and opportunity to refuse any main and side quests issued by the system?
No!
But even so, every time a task is issued, the system will still ask her as a routine.
It really is... Tsk, the sense of ritual is quite strong.
Soon, they arrived at the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace.
Si Muqiao stood outside according to the rules, waiting for Aunt Lan Fang to come in and report.
"Miss Si, please come in."
"Princess Kangjia is here now, and the Empress Dowager is talking to her."
"But Princess Kangjia came here suddenly. The Empress Dowager didn't know Princess Kangjia was coming."
"What to do after you go in? Don't be nervous." Aunt Lan Fang said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Lan Fang." Si Muqiao also smiled at her.
For some reason, Aunt Lan Fang's attitude towards her was full of kindness.
She can feel it!
However, since Aunt Lan Fang has reminded her, I guess Princess Kangjia who is sitting in front of the Empress Dowager and chatting at this moment should not be a simple character!
As soon as he entered Shoukang Palace, Simuqiao smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.
She didn't look around, but just followed Lan Fang's steps and walked forward in an orderly manner.
"Grand Empress Dowager, Concubine Si is here!" Aunt Lan Fang reported with a smile to the Grand Empress Dowager who was sitting on the beauty couch over there.
"Your humble servant Simu Qiao respectfully wishes the Empress Dowager good health and good luck."
As soon as Si Muqiao finished speaking, a sweet female voice was heard.
"Hey, ancestor, look at Lady Sima, she is indeed different from others."
"Oh? How is it different?" asked the Empress Dowager.
"If someone else came to pay respect to the old ancestor, they would definitely say something like "May you live a long and healthy life", but Lady Sima said "May you have great fortune and good luck."
"This is really interesting. She is indeed someone that His Majesty's brother likes."
"..."Si Muqiao got goose bumps all over her body when she was addressed as "Your Majesty brother".
"Miss Si has a beautiful and dignified appearance, a gentle and graceful personality, and is the daughter of General Si. She has her father's style and is indeed different from others."
"It's only right that Bian treats her differently," the Empress Dowager said in a gentle tone.
"I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for her praise." Si Muqiao began to express her gratitude.
For some reason, her sixth sense told her that this Princess Kang Jia, whom she just met for the first time, was quite hostile towards her.
Could it be that Princess Kangjia has not yet married and is in love with the tyrant?
"Lady Si, please stand up and sit here." The Empress Dowager waved at her.
"Okay." Si Muqiao nodded and walked over and sat down obediently.
"Miss Si, I'm Kang Jia, I'm fourteen years old, you're really pretty, can I call you Sister Si from now on?"
Princess Kangjia's smile was innocent and friendly, and her tone was full of enthusiasm.
"It's not appropriate, right? Princess Kangjia, does your family need an elder sister? Wouldn't your elder sister mind if you call me like that?" Si Muqiao looked righteous.
"No, my sister is very good to me, and she also hopes that I can make more friends outside." Princess Kang Jia's expression froze for a second, and then she smiled again.
"If the princess thinks it's okay, then of course I have no problem with it, Sister Kang Jia." Si Muqiao looked at her with a smile.
"Sister Si~"
"Yeah, good boy!"
“……”Aunt Lan Fang who was standing aside.
For some reason I felt that Lady Sima's words "be good" were like she was teasing a silly and cute pet.
Is it her illusion?
"Grand Empress Dowager, you see, Sister Si is really a nice person~"
"Sister Si will take care of me from now on. I'll see how your majesty brother can bully me, hehe!"
"Right, Sister Si, you will protect me, right?" Princess Kang Jia's tone was lively, her movements were cute, and she looked a little naive.
Coupled with her cute baby face, she looks so adorable when she pouts while pretending to be angry.
"That's not necessarily true. After all, I am your majesty's concubine. Most of the time, I still have to listen to your majesty." Si Muqiao continued to speak frankly.
“~~”Princess Kangjia.
She felt that she couldn't continue chatting with this beautiful lady Si, really!
"Okay, Kang Jia, please stop making things difficult for Miss Si."
"You know his majesty's temper. It's good enough that Concubine Si can ensure that she will not be bullied by his majesty." The Empress Dowager joked with a smile.
“That’s right.”
"By the way, Grand Empress Dowager, Kangjia accidentally learned a Mongolian folk song a few days ago. Grand Empress Dowager, can you help Kangjia listen to it and see if it tastes right?"
"Okay!" The Empress Dowager looked at her with great interest, with some anticipation and a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Mongolian?
Simuqiao was just in a daze when he heard a beautiful and moving song next to his ears.
The song was sung in Mongolian, which she could not quite understand.
However, she could feel that the Mongolian song sung by Princess Kang Jia was a little similar to the Three Lucky Treasures that she heard on the Spring Festival Gala one year.
Overall, it sounds good.
Soon, Princess Kangjia finished singing the Mongolian song.
She looked at the Empress Dowager with a bright smile on her face and asked, "Empress Dowager, what do you think of Kang Jia's singing~"
"Yes, you are a good boy, you have a good heart."
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face was gentle and carried a hint of attachment. She couldn't help but reach out and gently pat Princess Kangjia's hand.
“????????????????”Princess Kangjia.
"Grand Empress Dowager."
"..."Si Muqiao.
She felt as if she was listening to the Empress Dowager and Princess Kangjia speaking an alien language.
I didn't understand a single word.
However, she suddenly remembered something.
The memory in her mind told her that this honorable Empress Dowager was actually a Mongolian.
She married into the Great Zhou Kingdom many years ago and successfully stood out from the concubines of the previous emperor and has survived until now.
Because she treats people well and has always been low-key in the past, she has been very good to the current Majesty.
Therefore, after Your Majesty ascended the throne, he honored her as the Grand Empress Dowager and respectfully called her the Grand Empress Dowager Ci'en.
Her status in the palace was much higher than that of the empress dowager who was in seclusion worshiping Buddha.
It turned out that this was the reason why the system asked her to improve the favorability of the Empress Dowager!
Wait, system?
Yes! Didn’t she draw a random language card in the lottery before?
She was still wondering when the card could be used.
Isn't the opportunity here now?
