chapter 4: She Is Your Empress Dowager

Luo Nanchen gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. He looked like a poor little thing and didn't say a word for a long time.

There was a Siri - like prompt sound ringing in her ear, and in front of her was Luo Nanchen, looking pitiful but straight - backed and extremely stubborn. Suddenly, Lin Qiao had a brilliant idea.

Luo Nanchen was completely defenseless at the moment. Could she take this good opportunity to quickly accumulate enough prestige points (B - points), so that she wouldn't be restricted by the character setting? Then she could whole - heartedly treat him well and make up for the previous bullying.

Even if Luo Nanchen resented her in the future, at least she wouldn't end up being made a human swine.

Moreover, according to the logic of the cultivation - based awesome - hero novels, as long as a girl was a bit good - looking, she would be the hero's future conquest. Although Lin Qiao was his mother in this setting, with this face of hers, as long as she didn't act too recklessly, she shouldn't end up too badly.

Brilliant!

Lin Qiao secretly gave herself a thumbs - up, admiring her own wit.

Without further ado, she said to the guards behind her, "Carry the Sixth Prince to the Changle Palace."

"Yes."

【Congratulations to the host for completing one of the primary - stage tasks, abducting the male protagonist】

【B - points increased by 10. Current B - points: 30】

??? Why did this stupid system have different increases?

Was there some mystery in the triggering mechanism?

Forget it. As long as the points could increase, she just needed to quickly accumulate a hundred points, and then she could do whatever she wanted!

Lin Qiao walked briskly. While looking forward to the wonderful retirement life as the empress dowager, she watched the guards carry Luo Nanchen to her Changle Palace.

Luo Nanchen struggled on his own. Obviously, he still didn't take Lin Qiao seriously. Lin Qiao didn't mind. She cast a spell on Luo Nanchen, trapping him on a stool, and then ordered the small kitchen to prepare food.

While waiting for the food from the small kitchen, Lin Qiao still looked as annoying as before. She said the most humble words in the fiercest tone, "Hey, go take a bath first."

Luo Nanchen turned his head away defiantly, ignoring Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao didn't care. Although the future Luo Nanchen would be a ruthless and invincible figure, killing anyone who stood in his way and looking down on the world, at this moment, he was clearly still a young cub without sharp claws and easy to bully.

After all, he was just a cute puppy before his黑化. Otherwise, Lin Qiao wouldn't have had such a dangerous idea of accumulating B - points.

"Are you going or not? Considering you're just a little kid, I'll let Lin Qi accompany you."

Lin Qi was her cousin who had accompanied her on the marriage - alliance mission. He had an extremely high combat power and was also Lin Qiao's most trusted and reliable back - up.

Luo Nanchen was still defiant and didn't say a word to her.

Lin Qiao leaned down and got close to Luo Nanchen. Teasingly, she said, "Oh, so what you mean, Chenchen, is that you want your mother to accompany you?"

Luo Nanchen's face flushed red. It seemed that he finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Lin Qiao, you're a, you're a... girl!"

Lin Qiao didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed. "Oh, I'm your mother."

"You're only two years older than me!"

"Oh, I'm your mother."

"You're just a little kid!"

"Oh, I'm your mother."

"Lin Qiao, aren't you ashamed?!"

"Oh, I'm your mother."

"You, you... "

He made a fierce expression at Lin Qiao, baring his teeth like an untouchable little lion. But he couldn't say anything for a long time. Instead, his face flushed red and he angrily slumped onto the stool.

Seeing Luo Nanchen at a loss for words, Lin Qiao felt a little better. She deliberately used an oily tone to coax a child. "Alright, be a good boy, Chenchen. So go take a bath first and then have dinner."

Luo Nanchen seemed to be disgusted. His face turned ashen and he turned his head away, ignoring Lin Qiao.

Seeing that Luo Nanchen ignored her, Lin Qiao got another naughty idea. Deliberately, she said, "Besides, you're just a little kid, as thin as a bean sprout. I don't find you interesting at all. Go take a bath by yourself. Don't waste my time."

Luo Nanchen widened his eyes and stared at Lin Qiao in disbelief. His bright eyes made him look more like a child of his age.

Lin Qiao still had a thick skin and looked at Luo Nanchen casually. "Why are you looking at me? It's true. You're really not that good - looking."

Then she added, "As thin as a bean sprout."

【Congratulations to the host for completing one of the primary - stage tasks, humiliating the male protagonist】

【B - points increased by 20. Current B - points: 50】

Wow, there was even a pleasant surprise. It seemed that she was not far from accumulating a hundred B - points. She was already halfway there. Lin Qiao couldn't help but hum a little tune, completely ignoring Luo Nanchen's extremely ugly face.

In the end, Luo Nanchen still went to take a bath by himself, with a straight face as if the whole world owed him a fortune.

After the bath, Luo Nanchen was as delicate as a carved jade. He had sword - like eyebrows and starry eyes. His eyes were shining, his face was fair and clean, his back was as straight as a pine. He put one small hand behind his back, looking quite imposing like a superior.

Lin Qiao was amazed. He was indeed the peerless handsome man that countless beauties would fight to be with in the future.

At this time, the dishes from the small kitchen were served. There were crab - powder lion's head, osmanthus - flavored lotus - root - starch cake, chicken - marrow bamboo shoots, rosy goose breast, glazed pig's lung, lamp - like meat, spiced smoked fish, jade - green bean cake, crab - roe tofu, coconut - juice and red - date stewed snow - clam, red - date blood - swallow, honey - roasted duck, imperial rice - flavored pork, eight - treasure steamed buns, milk - skin sesame cakes, peony - head soup, pig - bone scraps, Sichuan - style stir - fried chicken...

One dish after another was served on the table. One table couldn't hold them all, so another table was moved and put together. The mountain of delicious delicacies made people drool.

Lin Qiao was stunned. She had just ordered the small kitchen to serve the dishes according to the highest standard for the queen. Why did it seem like they were going to serve the whole Man - Han banquet? So the queen's treatment was this good?!

Why hadn't she ordered the highest - standard dishes on the first day she came?!

Sure enough, she couldn't imagine the happiness of the rich...

She was so regretful!

Lin Qiao: Tears of regret...

Luo Nanchen was still very awkward. His face was a bit stiff and he held the chopsticks but didn't move for a long time.

Lin Qiao asked, "What's wrong? Are there no dishes you like?"

She had ordered the food to be prepared according to the highest standard for the queen because she was afraid that Luo Nanchen would be picky and unwilling to eat with her. Although she was still in the stage of accumulating B - points, it was still necessary to please the future emperor.

She couldn't really end up being made a human swine several years later.

Since she had finally traveled to this world, she should at least earn the achievement of a peaceful and comfortable old age.

Unexpectedly, Luo Nanchen suddenly wiped his eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly red. He gritted his small milk teeth fiercely, looking like a fierce and untouchable god. "Yes, I don't like them!"

Lin Qiao felt a bit troubled. It seemed that it would be a long - term and difficult task to please the great demon king.

At this moment, the Siri - like voice in her head rang again.

【Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new index, the protagonist's mood value】

【Current protagonist's mood value + 10】

???

So was Luo Nanchen the type who was shy and reserved?

Seemingly fierce on the surface, but actually extremely happy inside?

Damn it. Why did she suddenly think Luo Nanchen was so cute...
