The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

[I will not be an enemy of my sister.] Xu Xiaoyi clasped her shaking hands tightly. [I will not do your mission.]

The voice of the Wonder Medicine System was the same mechanical voice that all systems used, which could not distinguish between male and female, but its voice was much deeper: [Beep - the tasks issued by the system are only intended to increase your success rate when facing the Queen Mother Renxuan. If you don't want to be her enemy, then don't be her enemy.]

[Is it OK?] Xu ​​Xiaoyi was actually a little afraid of the "magic thing" called the system.

Moreover, the Wonderful Medicine System usually has a cold and aloof look, with a mission-focused attitude, but I didn’t expect that it would be so easy to talk to.

[Ding——According to the system's calculations, there is an 89% chance that the system has been abandoned by the Lord God. Although the system does not have complete humanity, the system's core program is of the most advanced type, enough to allow the system to make the most favorable choice for itself, rather than blindly insisting on completing the task.]

After the Miraculous Medicine System finished speaking, it gathered all the sounds and returned to silence again.

While Xu Xiaoyi remained skeptical of the system's explanation, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sister Xie will become the empress dowager in the future, and the system says that my mission is to replace her. Wouldn't that be a betrayal... Besides, the emperor's favor and the honor of the empress dowager - Xu Xiaoyi actually doesn't want them very much.

Her desire was not here.

After washing and combing her hair, Shuangyi added a tender pink velvet flower in Xu Xiaoyi's hair. At this time, the sun was setting and candles had been lit in Yuchunju. The flickering candlelight added a layer of hazy warm light to Xu Xiaoyi, making her look even more delicate, lovely and charming.

In the end, Shen Xiaoyi did not leave on her own initiative. She looked at Xu Xiaoyi, who was wearing a light pink dress and looked like a lotus bud about to bloom in a pond, and could not help biting her lower lip hard.

"Don't be nervous, Sister Xu. His Majesty is very gentle to others." Although not liked by the emperor, Shen Xiaoyi still spoke with the tone of an experienced person.

Xu Xiaoyi, who was preoccupied with several important matters, was in no mood to deal with her. She just lowered her head and acted shy.

The sedan chair sent by the emperor to pick someone up has stopped in front of Yuchunju.

Shen Xiaoyi watched Xu Xiaoyi leave, counting down in her heart and counting Xu Xiaoyi's steps - she was still the same this time, cursing Xu Xiaoyi for breaking her leg, but compared to the simplicity and brutality of the last time, Shen Xiaoyi was a little more vicious this time.

She cursed Xu Xiaoyi that when she stepped over the gate of Yuchunju, her foot would hit the threshold and she would break her left leg in public.

However, she kept waiting and watched Xu Xiaoyi lightly step over the threshold and be helped into the sedan chair by Shuangyi.

Everything was calm and smooth, with no sign of any unexpected incident.

Shen Xiaoyi was stunned.

She was still waiting to see Xu Xiaoyi, who had just dressed up, embarrass herself in public and miss the chance to sleep with him again!

But she watched the sedan chair being lifted up by the palace servants and swaying towards the imperial court. The sky gradually darkened, but what darkened even faster than the sky was Shen Xiaoyi's face.

She could no longer control her expression.

The beautiful face was distorted in an instant.

[System! What's going on? Why is my curse ineffective on her?!]

Shen Xiaoyi was extremely flustered.

One of the prerequisites for the Crow's Mouth system to be effective is that the user has a certain degree of favorability towards oneself and is not on guard. Otherwise, there is a certain probability of failure. Shen Xiaoyi is very sure that Xu Xiaoyi is the only person in the harem who is close to her besides Shen Huiwan.

She listed all the possibilities in her mind and couldn't help shuddering: She didn't expect Xu to be so scheming. She was clearly on guard against her, but she didn't show it at all, causing her to misjudge. She was so hypocritical and vicious!

[Ding——The system's favorability detection function is damaged, and it is unable to identify Xu Xiaoyi's favorability towards you.] The Crow Mouth System said, [But it is true that someone has always maintained a certain degree of favorability towards you, the host.]

Otherwise, relying on its own energy, coupled with Shen Xiaoyi's reckless operations during this period, the Crow's Mouth system would have gone into hibernation long ago.

[Then why doesn't your ability take effect? ​​! ]

The Crow's Mouth System was also very strange. It clearly threw out the curse. If Xu Xiaoyi's attitude towards his host had not changed, it should have succeeded directly like last time.

[Ding——The system will conduct a self-check. Please be patient and continue to gain the favor of others. 】

Shouning Palace.

On the Spring Equinox, Xie Yuzhen reported the news that Xu Xiaoyi's sedan chair had successfully entered the emperor's bedroom.

The little palace maid looked at her with some concern. Xie Yuzhen was amused by Chunfen's expression: "You, don't think so much at such a young age. Look at your sister Xiazhi, how steady she is."

Xia Zhi, who was busy checking whether the windows were closed, looked back at them and said, "Madam, you can tease her if you want, but why do you have to involve me?"

Chunfen is younger and still has expectations for love between men and women, so he is afraid that Xie Yu will be really sad because of Xu Xiaoyi's sleeping with him; while Xiazhi is a little older and has already hardened his heart due to his wife's various bizarre actions.

Xie Yuzhen looked at the two palace maids who had followed him the earliest, and became more and more satisfied.

Xiazhi is efficient in handling matters, and although he likes to nag a bit, his mind is entirely on his own; Chunfen is young, and a little immature in dealing with people, but he is willing to listen and learn, and has great potential.

Chunfen's action was just out of concern for Xie Yuzhen...

Did Xie Yu really have romantic feelings for the emperor?

Maybe, but definitely not much. The fact that the emperor was willing to help rescue her from the Wuwei Marquis's Mansion was enough for Xie Yuzhen to be grateful to him for the rest of her life. As for whether she had developed feelings for the emperor based on this...

Xie Wei was really sure that there wasn't one.

Under such circumstances, even if the emperor was as ugly as a pig, Xie Yuzhen would still be willing to cling to him.

She was an ordinary commoner girl, facing a noble family like the Wuwei Marquisate. Only the emperor, only the emperor, could save her life.

And the one she was happy to flatter was also the "Emperor".

Not the man named Lu Yesheng.

"Since you said you want to treat Ah Yuan as your sister, how can I, as her elder sister, not try to get her some benefits?" Xie Yuzhen counted lazily on her fingers, "Emperor's favor, heir, palace power... At present, the only thing I can get for her is the emperor's favor. Sigh, I'm treating her unfairly. So, as her elder sister, I still have to work harder."

As she spoke, she suddenly sat up.

Xie Yuzhen waved at Xia Zhi: "Tomorrow morning, go to Kunning Palace to ask the Queen when she is free. I want to pick a time to pay her respects... Oh, I don't have a good excuse to ask to see the Queen. Forget it, just say that I haven't seen the Queen for several days, and I miss her so much that I can't sleep and think about her all the time!"

After she finished speaking, she held her slightly flushed cheeks with both hands and laughed foolishly and hysterically in a low voice.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but twitch her lips as she accepted the order. She couldn't help but imagine how awkward it would be if she said what her wife said at the gate of Kunning Palace tomorrow!
