Su Qingwen let out a wail. She felt as if a herd of alpacas was galloping wildly in her heart. If she had to describe her state, it would be that she was completely hopeless. No, it was even worse than being hopeless!
To persuade the emperor to retract his order, she could only look pitifully as she scurried to his imperial chamber and flattered him with a syrupy smile, "Your Majesty, please don't prepare cakes for me anymore..."
This coquettish voice was as if thousands of Lin Zhiling had possessed her. Su Qingwen was absolutely certain that she was now a charming little vixen who had completely captivated Hua Yueye.
[System: Hey, can you be normal? I'm about to throw up.]
"Shut up! What do you know? You useless system! You don't understand the slightest bit of fun! Do you know what a cute girl's voice or a mature woman's voice is? The kind that can drive men crazy."
[System: I know, but the voice you're making sounds neither male nor female. It's a bit like... the voice of a certain eunuch...]
Su Qingwen clenched her fists tightly. She now had a very serious thought, which was how to make this damned system shut up.
"Concubine Xian? What do you want this time?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows, frowned, and glanced at the abnormal someone before asking.
"I just think that having a cake every day is so... so boring..." Su Qingwen rubbed her hands together. "I'll get sick of it sooner or later..."
"I see... Then we'll change the flavor." Hua Yueye nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what she said made some sense.
Su Qingwen thought to herself: Pfft, no matter how they change the flavor, that lousy cake will never taste good. She would never eat it again. She would never try it for a second time no matter what.
"That's not it..." Su Qingwen shamelessly stepped forward again, grabbed the man's clothes, and coquettishly said, "The main reason is that eating cakes will make me gain weight. What if you don't want me anymore if I get fat, Your Majesty?"
"Really?" Hua Yueye lowered his head and thought for a moment. A teasing smile appeared in his eyes. Then he suddenly slapped his thigh. "That's just right. Don't you think you're a bit too thin?"
As he said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Su Qingwen's chest.
Immediately, Su Qingwen reacted. She opened her eyes wide and felt like she was about to vomit blood. This bastard man! She would never let him go even if she became a ghost.
[System: Host, hold it together! Hold it together! Anyway, he's the emperor. It's not appropriate if you're too presumptuous. You're a gentlewoman!]
Gentlewoman my foot! I'm not Lin Zhiling. I'm a tough chick.
Su Qingwen took a deep breath, rushed in front of Hua Yueye, and angrily said, "What on earth do you want? I've already said that I don't want to eat that cake..."
"Let me check if you're really thin. If you've gained weight, you can be exempted from having a cake every day." Hua Yueye curled his lips. There was a mysterious smile on his charming face, which made people's hearts flutter. Su Qingwen was a woman who had seen the world in the 21st century.
She had managed to resist the charm of Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, and Li Xian. But when Hua Yueye stared at her like this, why did her face turn red?
[System: Do you know why? It's love at first sight. Oh no, you can't escape his gaze...]
This annoying system started playing that brain - washing song automatically. The man's face kept getting closer until he directly kissed her lips.
Hua Yueye: Not bad. It still tastes as sweet as ever.
Su Qingwen: Oh, his kissing skills are really good.
Finally, on this night, Su Qingwen was once again indulged in the gentle embrace. She was really worn out. Sure enough, emperors were not easy to "serve".
However, Hua Yueye did say something reasonable: "After my inspection, you've gained a little weight recently. If you don't want to eat the cake, then forget it. It'll save some waste."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Qingwen covered her face, resenting the heavens for treating her like this.
In the morning, she simply tidied herself up, got off the dragon bed, and planned to go back to take a good bath. Hua Yueye had too much energy. She, being so frail, really couldn't stand it.
Unexpectedly, on her way back, a human wall suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path. Su Qingwen wasn't looking carefully at the road and bumped right into it.
She was pushed back a few steps, lost her balance, and suddenly plopped down on the ground.
"Ouch!" She sat there on the ground, in so much pain that tears were about to fall. Who was this? Couldn't they see such a big living person like her?
Life was so miserable, and she was so unlucky. Today must be an inauspicious day.
"Concubine Xian, are you okay?" Ning Yunqing's voice rang out above her head, filled with a bit of anxiety and concern.
Hearing this, Su Qingwen let out a sigh. She grabbed the nearby pillar with one hand and stubbornly stood up. Looking at the haggard - looking man in front of her, she asked, "Hey, Ning Yunqing, what's this all about? How can you bump into someone during the day?"
"This..." Ning Yunqing forced a bitter smile and lowered his head. Even so, Su Qingwen could keenly sense that the man in front of her seemed to be in a bad mental state. Taking a closer look, she also noticed that Ning Yunqing's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his dark circles were as heavy as a panda's. What was wrong with this guy?
[System: Based on my years of experience, he must be lovesick.]
"You, a system, know so much? Go somewhere cool!" Su Qingwen twitched the corner of her mouth and rolled her eyes in her heart. This feeling was like someone who had never been in a relationship teaching others how to fall in love. Could it be reliable?
[System: Well, even if I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run? Look at his absent - minded, lovelorn look. He must be missing a woman.]
"Oh? So, he's missing Hua Xue'er?" Su Qingwen stroked her chin, feeling a bit sorry for Ning Yunqing. Hua Xue'er was either naive at best or slow - witted at worst. Falling in love with such a woman was really painful.
[System: Hey, you have a new side mission. It's to help matchmake Ning Yunqing and Hua Xue'er and make Ning Yunqing's wish come true.]
"What?" Su Qingwen reached out to cover her forehead, feeling like she was about to die of pain. Isn't this just the so - called matchmaker? How could a beautiful young girl like her do such a thing?
[System: What matchmaker? That's such a bad description. You can just think of yourself as a red - string matchmaker. I'm telling you, if you do the side mission well, not only will I give you prizes, but you'll also earn some points, and the main mission will be completed smoothly. Stop being so hesitant and accept it quickly.]
She had never seen such an impatient system.
"Fine. Matchmaker it is. There's nothing I, Su Qingwen, can't handle." Someone proudly lifted her chin and put her arm around Ning Yunqing's neck.
