Chapter 2 A Chance Encounter with the Emperor
Xu Lanshan was surprised to find that the injuries on her body and hands had disappeared in an instant! Her hands had returned to their original slender shape!
The physical condition couldn't be better.
She was delighted. This system was indeed useful.
"Let's start the mission!"
"Alright, honey! Please accept my palace mission: meet the emperor tonight and leave a good impression."
Xu Lanshan: “…”
Tonight? A chance encounter? A good impression?
It sounds simple, but it's not.
The palace rules are clearly stated. After dark, palace maids and eunuchs are not allowed to go out unless ordered by their master. Violators will be severely punished, and even if they are killed on the spot by patrolling imperial guards, it is entirely their own fault.
Although this rule is not strictly enforced on a daily basis, what if you are unlucky? There is no room for judgment.
As for the "chance encounter," it's a commonplace tactic in the palace. Would the emperor fall for it? And even a "good impression"? It would be a good thing if he didn't feel disgusted.
"Can the mission... be changed? All of it!"
The system almost choked at the address and stammered, "No, no, dear. You still have an hour to prepare. In an hour, the Emperor will appear in the peach forest east of the Imperial Garden."
Xu Lanshan was surprised: "You can predict everything!"
The system shattered her half-formed wishful thinking the next second: "No, dear, I don't control what tasks are issued."
Xu Lanshan said "Oh" and understood. The tasks should be distributed randomly, and the content of the tasks may or may not be predicted.
Xu Lanshan took a deep breath and thought, forget it, just go for it.
She got out of bed and planned to change into clean clothes.
The hand that was about to take off the clothes suddenly stopped: "Can you see everything I do?"
What if she had sex with the emperor? Just imagine having a pair of eyes watching the whole scene from a god's perspective. That would be so disgusting! So shameful!
How can we perform well then?
The system understood and quickly reassured him, "No, dear. I'm usually asleep when you don't call me. Alternatively, you can proactively block me. Just say 'block'. Call me again to unblock me. If you don't proactively unblock me, it will automatically be unblocked after 24 hours."
Oh, that's more like it. Xu Lanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
She decisively said "block" in her mind.
Before the system was shut down, it silently complained: This host is so ruthless!
After changing into clean clothes and fixing her hair, Xu Lanshan hated not having a mirror. However, after a systematic recovery, she found that there was no strange smell on her body and she looked very clean, so she felt a little relieved.
Looking down at her own beautiful and slender hands, Xu Lanshan murmured, "Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on you..."
She took a deep breath and quietly left Yongchun Palace under the cover of night.
The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, with clear light shining down. Peach blossoms bloom on the branches. The cold moonlight neutralizes the warmth of the enchanting peach blossoms, creating a unique beauty in the silence.
A gentle evening breeze blew by, and the faint fragrance of flowers suddenly lingered in my nose, refreshing my heart. The petals were so delicate that they drifted silently to the ground in the wind.
The peach blossoms were at their peak a few days ago, but now they are almost over and cannot withstand the wind.
Xu Lanshan had an idea in her mind and secretly made up her mind.
"all!"
"Here I am, honey!"
Xu Lanshan smiled: "Where did the emperor go?"
The system quickly said, "It's already turned in, honey, quickly find a place to hide!"
"Why should I hide?"
"Of course you should hide first, and then come out and pretend to run into him by chance when the emperor arrives! Come on, hurry up! The emperor is coming!"
Xu Lanshan sneered, "Why do I have to run into him by chance? Can't he just run into me by chance?"
"ah??"
"Keep an eye on him for me. Remember to remind me when he's five meters away."
"...Okay kiss."
Xu Lanshan found a perfect spot and stood under a very tall, lush peach tree with her back to the path. Her black hair was like clouds and her waist was slender. Her back alone revealed a sense of pitifulness.
The surrounding shrubs were scattered and half-hidden, and from the path, only the majority of her figure could be seen. However, the more half-hidden and shadowy her figure was, the more it blended into the moonlight and the brocade flowers, the more eye-catching and pleasing it was.
As soon as the system reminded her that the emperor was coming, Xu Lanshan immediately clasped her hands together, raised her head slightly in a graceful arc, looked at the moon in the sky, and murmured something in prayer.
What caught Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes unexpectedly was this eye-catching picture of a beauty under the moon.
He couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the girl not far away in surprise.
Emperor Yuan Yong was reviewing memorials a little late today, and seeing the beautiful moonlight, he took a leisurely stroll. Unexpectedly, he encountered this. This is really - a coincidence!
Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but smile slightly and was in a good mood.
It is certainly a pleasant thing to meet a beauty under the moon.
He came here on a whim, and it was absolutely impossible that someone would come here on purpose to stop him.
Dong Zhi, the eunuch beside Emperor Yuan Yong, was very discerning. He quickly glanced at the emperor and then at the maid's back without making a sound. Although his face looked expressionless, his mind was actually very excited: "This girl is so lucky! If she catches the emperor's eye, she will fly to the branches and become a phoenix!"
It's not right for the emperor to always look at me like this. To be the emperor's confidant, one must have a keen eye. Dong Zhi coughed lightly.
Xu Lanshan seemed to be frightened and let out a soft "Ah!" and turned her head subconsciously. Her panicked almond-shaped eyes were reflected in Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes like a frightened deer, and Emperor Yuan Yong's eyes darkened unconsciously.
Xu Lanshan's body trembled slightly with fear, her thin shoulders trembling like butterfly wings, making people feel pity. Her legs seemed to weaken and she stumbled, then knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled softly, then slowly walked over and stood in front of Xu Lanshan, looking down at her: "Then tell me, what crime have you committed?"
Xu Lanshan paused, then trembled softly, "Your Majesty is enjoying the flowers and the scenery, but I have disturbed this beautiful scene. I am afraid that I have ruined your mood. I beg your forgiveness..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of evening breeze blew, rustling the branches and leaves. Under the cool moonlight, peach petals danced lightly and fell slowly like rain, like a group of fluttering butterflies dancing around the woman, which was a beautiful sight.
It happened that a whole flower gently fell on her bun, and the beauty and the delicate flower complemented each other.
The faint floral fragrance lingers in the wind, making you feel more relaxed and happy!
Even Dong Zhi was stunned by this scene.
Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly felt his mouth dry and said in a low voice, "Raise your head."
