Chapter 114 Welcome to the envoy
"What is it? Listening to your tone, I seem to look down on me a bit."
"Host, Xiao Qi doesn't mean that."
"If that's the case, then tell me, what do I need to do to allow me to upgrade the soil?"
"this."
Seeing Xiao Qiyi's hesitant look, Shangguan smiled contemptuously.
He also said that he didn't look down on her, and he didn't even dare to tell her about the task. Do you think he would be afraid?
"Uh, this task is actually easy and simple, and difficult to say. If the host doesn't want to use points, but wants to quickly upgrade the soil, there is only one way, and that is to become a favorite concubine."
"Princess concubine? Cough cough cough."
I heard that only by becoming a favorite concubine can I have the opportunity to upgrade the soil, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was almost choked to death by his own saliva.
"Xiaoqi, is there something wrong with this system? What kind of idea is it to become a favorite concubine?"
Xiao Qi blinked her eyes in a stream of consciousness, and said innocently, "Xiao Qi also told the host how to upgrade the soil according to the meaning of the system. As for why this happened, Xiao Qi didn't know."
"There is no other way?"
"Well, it seems that this is the only way at the moment."
For Shangguan Xiaoxiao, who strongly rejects becoming a favorite concubine, this method is tantamount to no other way.
She wanted to go out of the palace, how could she be foolish to be a favorite concubine, and before she had the chance to leave the palace, she might be killed by the group of jealous concubines.
She doesn't need this kind of opportunity.
Thinking about it this way, it is better to obediently complete the task to earn points, and then redeem the upgraded security.
Little life is the most important.
If there is life, there is a chance to be a rich woman.
This is the life motto of Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"Host, do you think you can give it a try, there's nothing wrong with being a favorite concubine, right? The emperor looks so good-looking, you won't suffer!"
"Really? Since you think so, then I'll give him to you, okay?"
Shangguan smiled treacherously.
"The host really likes to joke, Xiao Qi won't play with you anymore."
After speaking, Xiao Qi disappeared automatically.
cut~
He has a big temper.
Since there is no other shortcut, Shangguan Xiaoxiao can only obediently complete the task.
At present, if you want to earn 1000 points, you have to show your hand in front of the envoys of the Great Wu Kingdom, and then let others be willing to be defeated.
I heard Liucheng say that people in Dawu Kingdom like to draw.
By the way, it's better to use this.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of a wonderful thing. With it, the envoys of the Great Wu Kingdom will be amazed.
As she thought so, she went to the inventory on the right and clicked on something.
88 taels of silver!
Although he felt sorry for his money, in order to successfully complete this task, Shangguan Xiaoxiao also gave it up.
Ding Dong!
The balance is deducted, and the item is exchanged successfully!
Shangguan smiled, took it in his hand and looked at it, then exited his farming space with satisfaction.
There are still three days until the envoy of the Great Wu Kingdom comes to visit.
Fortunately, Concubine Liu did not act as a demon, but quietly cooperated with Liu Cheng, doing various preparations for the welcome banquet.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao was quite vigilant at first, for fear that Concubine Liu would take advantage of her unpreparedness and do something to frame her.
But for a few days, nothing happened.
It made her feel that she was too petty.
Could it be that Concubine Liu has learned a lesson and is now learning to be good?
After thinking about it, it seems unlikely that Concubine Liu's urination is impossible.
After all, it is Shangguan Xiaoxiao who has watched countless Gongtou dramas. He is most familiar with those plots that are superficial and stabbed in the back.
Or be cautious for seconds.
Time passed quickly, and of course the welcome banquet was almost ready.
Since the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was successfully held, Shangguan Xiaoxiao also chose an open-air small garden as the main venue for the banquet.
The buffet style was used last time, and it seems to be more popular.
But because the target of this reception was rather special, Shangguan Xiaoxiao decided to choose the standard of the state banquet.
The so-called "state banquet", as the name suggests, is naturally a banquet of a country. It represents the food culture, etiquette and dignity of a country. It is the highest standard banquet in a country.
The most important part of the state banquet is the process, from cold dishes, soups and dishes, to desserts and fruits, everything is supervised by Shangguan Xiaoxiao himself and guided by Chef Chen Yu. It can be said that it is a high-standard dish.
But because of the need for some special materials, it is simply impossible for the material-starved country to the east.
Therefore, Shangguan Xiaoxiao can only spend his own silver taels, which is exchanged for high-quality ingredients from the farming space.
In fact, she didn't even realize that in order to help Feng Lingzun entertain the group of foreign envoys, she had already violated her original intention of loving money.
The day when the envoy of the Great Wu Kingdom visited.
Feng Lingzun, as the most honorable man in the entire eastern country, decided to go to the gate of the palace to meet him in person.
As a noble concubine, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was naturally brought by Feng Lingzun.
Shangguan Xiaoxiao didn't dislike meeting foreign envoys at all, instead he looked curious.
In other words, just by hearing the name of the Great Wu Kingdom, she felt that the visiting envoys should be of the type of five big three rough.
Worse yet, similar to the Mongols in the modern world?
He was tall and big, with a beard on his face, and when he walked, the ground would tremble three times.
I just don't know if it will be as bold as the Mongols.
In this case, do you want to take them to play Landlord?Or play mahjong?
It feels like it's going to be fun.
"Concubine Ai, did you think of something fun? Why are you smiling so brightly?"
Seeing Shangguan smiling suddenly distracted, Feng Lingzun couldn't help teasing, "Could it be possible to think of a way to make money again?"
cut!
【Am I the kind of person who falls into the eyes of money? 】
[I really want to hit him. 】
[Forget it, in front of the foreign envoy, it is better for me to be virtuous, so as not to lose the face of our country to the east. 】
Shangguan smiled and resisted the urge to roll his eyes, nodding slightly to Feng Lingzun, "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who thought of something just now and was rude in front of the Emperor."
Looking at the dignified and virtuous appearance she deliberately pretended to be, Feng Lingzun felt a little uncomfortable.
"My concubine, don't be nervous, I still like you as before, so you don't have to pretend to be so tired."
[He saw that I was pretending? 】
Shangguan smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, after all, we are entertaining envoys from other countries this time. Naturally, the concubines don't want to tarnish the Emperor's face, that's why..."
"I just want them to see that my noble concubine is a person with a cheerful personality, not as rumored by the outside world."
"How?"
Could it be that the outside world has started to gossip about him?
