The baby-making system is unreliable

They were all ladies from noble families, dressed gorgeously, um... her eyes were dazzled.

Didn't they say that no one dared to have any intentions towards Xiao Zixu? Why did they all come one after another without showing any sign of fear?

Fortunately, she was always by the Queen Mother's side, and no one dared to make trouble for her.

However, her appearance did give those rich kids some ideas.

The sunlight poured down, as if covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze.

Everywhere you look, everything seems exceptionally bright and clear.

And in this bright sunshine, a graceful woman attracted people's attention.

This woman was Yun Xirou. She sat quietly beside the Queen Mother, like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance.

The sunlight shining on her delicate skin makes her face more crystal clear and as smooth as white jade.

The few tiny beads of sweat on her forehead slowly flowed down her smooth cheeks like a string of pearls rolling down.

The breeze blew gently, blowing her hair. They danced in the air like smart elves, adding a touch of dynamic beauty to this beautiful picture.

Yun Xirou's deep and bright eyes sparkled with determination and tenderness, which made people fall in love with her.

At this moment, she was so breathtakingly beautiful that it seemed as if time had stopped in front of her.

"I heard that the Queen Mother wants to adopt a daughter as her goddaughter. I guess it's that girl."

Her appearance instantly triggered whispers, and for a moment there were many different opinions and no consensus.

"She is such a lovely girl, it makes people want to..."

Not only men, but even women in the boudoir would look at her from time to time and discuss her purpose.

Yun Xirou didn't seem to care about the discussions around her and remained calm and composed.

She only focused her eyes on the food in front of her, looking at it curiously.

The Queen Mother ignored everyone's comments and looked at Yun Xirou's calm appearance, and couldn't help but nod in praise.

This child, worthy of being her niece, is calm and sensible.

Yun Xirou just wanted to maintain her innocent image. She was a curious baby who knew nothing.

"Ahem, put away your thoughts! This princess hasn't spoken yet!"

Suddenly, an arrogant voice was heard, and the surroundings became quiet for a moment. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an arrogant woman in gorgeous clothes walking towards them.

She is Xiao Zixin, the emperor's sister.

Xiao Zixin walked up to Yun Xirou and looked her up and down, with arrogance and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"You are the goddaughter that the queen mother wants to adopt? You are not that great." Xiao Zixin sneered, looking really unhappy.

Yun Yurou raised her head, looked directly into Xiao Zixin's eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't know what you mean? I don't know what Rou'er did wrong?"

Xiao Zixin was even more furious after hearing this, and seemed to be even more intolerant of her, "Humph, are you mocking this princess?"

You are my gentle and lovely Lord, I am just annoying, right? Humph!

"Yun Xirou dare not." Yun Xirou lowered her head and said softly.

It is obvious from the princess's personality that she is just a tsundere one, but how could the queen mother raise such a daughter?

Yun Xirou was just thinking about it in her mind and would not actually say it out loud, as that would be annoying.

Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother hurried to smooth things over, fearing that the two of them were arguing too much.

"Alright, alright, we're all family, why bother with that. Xin'er, don't make things difficult for Miss Yun."

Xiao Zixin glared at Yun Xirou indignantly, walked up to her, pulled her, and squeezed next to her mother.

"Mother, you don't love me anymore. I want to be by your side, hum!!"

This is my position, not hers, huh! !

Yun Xirou felt relieved. It seemed that she was just a little bit arrogant. She knew that the eldest princess didn't seem to like her, so she should be more careful in the future.

This is no wonder. After all, Xiao Zixin has always been spoiled. It would be strange if she was willing to have her love taken away from her.

Yun Xirou obediently sat aside. Xiao Zixin looked at her again. She was so timid and deserved to be bullied. Humph!

"Listen to me, all of you. Today, my mother has recognized her. She is under my protection! Anyone who bullies her is against me. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Xiao Zixin waved her hand, hugged the empress dowager's arm and went to act coquettishly.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed for a while, and the surroundings gradually became more lively, but no one dared to say anything bad about Yun Xirou anymore.

Xiao Zixu, who was far away, saw all this and his expression looked a little better. If he hadn't asked his royal sister to act like this, those people would probably still be targeting Yun Xirou.

Look at the girl again, her eyes never leave the food, she looks left and right, with such curiosity, just like a greedy little cat.

Finally, he couldn't help it and walked to the banquet. Everyone bowed to him, but Xiao Zixu ignored them. He just waved his hand and sat in the seat of honor.

He just felt that the distance between him and Yun Xirou was a bit far, and he felt a little itchy inside. It was really uncomfortable to only watch from afar.

"..."

Of course, Yun Xirou also noticed his eyes on her, and she felt a little unnatural. But forget it, she decided to concentrate on eating.

The banquet was halfway through and there was singing and dancing all around. Not only were there performances by the palace's professional singing girls, but there were also performances by ladies from various famous families.

It can be said that everyone showed off their talents and sang and danced non-stop.

Yun Xirou was watching the excitement, and could be said to be enjoying it very much.

[Ding Dong, host, the key NPC for your side quest is about to come online. Follow the key NPC to get props (Zuisheng: pretend to be drunk, live a life of drunkenness and dream of death.)]

Key NPC? How could she leave at this time? Without a reasonable excuse...

At this time, a palace maid came up to Yun Xirou with a plate of exquisite pastries, "Miss, this is the snack specially prepared by the Queen Mother, please try it."

Yun Xirou smiled and nodded, picked up a piece of dessert, put it in her mouth, and savored it carefully.

While eating, she secretly observed the movements around her, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, she found a woman staring at her secretly. She raised her head and her eyes met that person's, only to see that person quickly turned her head away.

Yun Yurou's heart was moved. Who is this person? Why is he staring at her so furtively? Could this person be the key NPC?

She decided to wait and see what would happen next.

Yun Xirou pretended to go to the toilet, left all the palace maids around her and quietly followed her out.

She saw from afar that the man had walked into a pavilion deep in the garden. Yun Xirou approached the pavilion cautiously and hid in the flowers nearby to observe.

The man looked around for a while and then went behind a rockery. Yun Xirou approached the rockery cautiously and heard whispers coming from inside.

"Are you sure you look like her? That bitch!?"

I don't know whose voice it is, but it sounds like a man, and seems to be quite old.

"It is absolutely true. I have seen it with my own eyes. She looks exactly like Empress Ping."

"Very good. That year, the baby girl didn't die. This time, she must die completely."

When Yun Xirou heard this, she probably understood and guessed that he was here to kill her.

But why? Who are they? What is their purpose?

[I don’t know this either! Currently, the host has not had much plot with the male protagonist…, so the plot development is less than 10%]

So? What happened to the male lead? Stumbling...?! This made Yun Xirou a little embarrassed, so she had to follow the main storyline first before she could further develop the side storyline!

Then this key NPC will appear again, why did it go the suspense route? !

[The answer is correct, host, please improve the male protagonist's favorability. More exciting plots are waiting for you. ]

……

[Master, get item +1 (Zuisheng: pretend to be drunk, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death.)]

"Find a way to get close to her and keep an eye on her. Wait for my orders and do what I say."

"Yes, master."

After the two men left, Yun Xirou really wanted to go to the next shift, so she went there and then returned to the banquet, continuing to pretend nothing had happened.

All of this fell quietly into Xiao Zixu's eyes. What Yun Xirou didn't know was that not long after she left, Xiao Zixu followed closely behind.

"..."

OK, OK, this is how it should be played, right? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, right? OK, OK, good fellow, Tongzi is not good at all.

[Tongzi: Woohoo (┯_┯) This is a crucial plot, Tongzi can’t remind me. 】

Yun Yirou: What's the use of you? ? ! A baby-making system, but you don't know anything! ? Okay, okay, where is her well-behaved personality? It seems that she still needs to rely on her acting skills to turn the tide.

Of course, these are all for later.

On a dark and windy night, everything was silent, with only a few tiny lights flickering faintly.

In Yunxi Palace, Xiaohe was told to fetch some water and then left. Yun Xirou was tired after a whole day and could finally take a rest.

In the inner room, Yun Xirou slowly loosened her clothes, revealing her petite and lovely skin, and her slender fingers gently untied her shirt.

The outer garment, the inner garment, and finally the bellyband and undergarments slowly fell to the ground, and the little person quietly fell into the water.

My fingers quietly pulled the water surface, causing ripples, and I could finally take a comfortable rest.

I leaned quietly against the tub, looked up, and our eyes met. I was stunned! ! ?

Yun Xirou's eyes instantly turned red, tears streaming down her face, her little face full of confusion and aggrieved feeling.

With her rationality burned out, she had long forgotten what shyness, embarrassment, and what should not be seen by others.

How can this person be such a traitor? It really makes people... Alas!

"This... Brother Xu?! Why are you here? I just..."

Yun Xirou hid in the water with a red face, but the water was so clear that there was no place to hide.

Xiao Zixu just felt angry and his mind lost its rationality. Although he was not very hot, his whole body was burning with fever.

After a few gasps, the lust in his eyes gradually subsided, and he slowly spoke, "Of course I saw it all."

After saying that, Xiao Zixu flew up, landed on the ground, and walked in front of her.

One hand stroked her fair face. Her eyes were innocent, but they were particularly attractive.

Her blushing cheeks were as if she had drunk alcohol, which was really itchy to look at.

"Brother Xu~what are you going to do? We..."

Yun Xirou was instinctively shy at this moment, but she pretended to be ignorant.

That's right, she is so innocent, she doesn't understand. What can a child who has been locked up in a secret room for more than ten years understand? !

Yun Xirou's innocent eyes fell into his eyes, and he sighed silently in his heart.

Never mind, let me give you an explanation.

"Did you do anything today? Who did you follow?"

After hearing this, Yun Xirou felt confused. Did he discover it?

[Yes, wuwuwu (┯_┯) This is a crucial plot, a necessary plot to promote the relationship with the male protagonist, Tongzi, please don’t remind me.]

Tongzi, what do you do for a living?! If you don't tell me earlier, you won't be misunderstood! ?

This is no small matter. She doesn't know who that person is, not to mention there are people behind him, if there is any conspiracy.

When Xiao Zixu found out, the first person he suspected was herself, wondering if she was that person's accomplice.

...Okay, okay, okay, okay, what can we do? Tell the truth!

"Brother Xu, I don't know anything! I just followed someone, saw that person was sneaking around, and heard a few words."

Yun Xirou spoke pitifully, her eyelashes like peach fans blinking, looking extremely innocent.

"..."

There is another evil anger, a goblin, a seductive little goblin.

"You wash first. I... will bring you something good to taste tomorrow night. I'll tell Brother Xu then."

Xiao Zixu didn't look at her any more and turned his eyes away. Before leaving, he took her handkerchief and flew out of the window.

He hurried to his temple, and after returning, he asked someone for water.

I soaked in the water for a long time, but still felt hard to suppress my anger.

As long as I close my eyes, her image appears in my mind, and it is really hard to erase it from my mind.

It really made him uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to look at her handkerchief and hold it down...

……

One night, Xiao Zixu wanted to secretly observe whether Yun Xirou was pretending or not, but he never expected to encounter those scenes.

"..."

Instead, it made him unable to sleep all day. He wanted to hear her explanation tonight.

"Master, we have found out that the person is a servant girl named Li'er in the old emperor's palace. She was just too inconspicuous and escaped the disaster during the palace coup. Currently, she is cleaning the abandoned palace of the late emperor's concubine."

Yin Yi stared at his master's face and heard from Eunuch Liang that his master had called for water all night last night.

He didn't know if his anger would be directed at them today, so he had to be careful.

"Keep an eye on her and report her every move at any time."

There was a hint of cunning and sinisterness in Xiao Zixu's dark eyes, as if hiding endless conspiracies and calculations.

His deep and cold gaze was like the stars in the cold night, flashing with a heart-pounding light.

After thinking about it, he felt that the person behind the scenes was most likely some old ministers in the court. If there really was someone so blind, he would better get rid of him completely.

Xiao Zixu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, he had already made a plan in his mind, and tapped the table with his slender fingers, as if everything was under control.
