(PS: After testing the waters, tomorrow 10.9 round of PK, the reading rate is very important!) The cuties have taken a break of five minutes to finish the latest chapters these days, so that the free period of our new book can be longer, and the cuties can see more without spending money~ Give everyone a greeting to the early years!

After resting for a few days, counting the days, it has been a while since the last time he 'died', and Li Mobai's attitude towards her has also improved in recent days, so Shen Ciwu felt that he could do it again!
She asked the system to hurry up and post her the next task.
This time, Xiao Tuotuo gave her a double choice.
[Congratulations to the host for completing a total of five missions and not failing a single mission, so you can get a chance to choose the difficulty of the mission.] The difficulty of the task is Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, and the reward points are 20, 50 and 100 respectively, please choose from the host. ใ
Shen Ci thought about it for a while, anyway, the task of this system was to let her die in front of Li Mobai.
It is also a small death, and a big death is also a work, it is better to make a big one vote.
So after a short struggle, she made a decision:
[Then let's do the hardest one.] ใ
[Good host, is calling up tasks for you.] Didi ...... The task is successfully matched. Received the latest task, 'Tie the tyrant in a double ponytail and let the tyrant keep this look for a whole morning', reward points +100 for task completion, and -100 points for mission failure.]
After hearing the name of this lengthy task, Shen Ci was worried about petrification on the spot.
[What are you messing with?] Who can do this? If I just put a double ponytail whip on him, I can barely give it a try, and I still have to let him keep this look and go to the early court? Come on! He is the king of a country, and he has the best face! When the Manchu Dynasty saw his 'chic' style, he still had to laugh off his big teeth? They laughed off their big teeth, and I must not be beaten all over the ground by the dog emperor looking for teeth? ใ
[So this is a difficult task~ But don't worry, the host, think like this, completing a difficult task is equivalent to completing five low-difficulty tasks at the same time~]
Shen Ci sneered: [Yes, but doesn't failing once mean that I have failed five times?? ] What's the difference!? ใ
[If the host really finds the task difficult to complete, he can also choose to use 50 points to exercise the right to replace the task, so that the host can choose the difficulty of the task again.] But I still hope that the host can give it a try, after all, the completion period of the advanced task is ten days, and with the ingenuity of the host, he will definitely be able to figure out a way to complete the task! Come on, host! ใ
I'll add your sister's oil......
Shen Ci slapped his chest twice in a state of anxiety to express his strong dissatisfaction with the system!
Then, she fell into a self-entanglement.

On the other side, in the Fengluan Palace, the queen was discussing with the concubines.
"Next month is the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival, this time it is the Queen Mother's 50th birthday, and she wants to do it decently. The process of the birthday banquet had been finalized with the emperor a few months ago, but the back and forth was all those routines, and there were no new tricks. Bengong thought, when the sisters bother to prepare congratulatory gifts, they might as well spend some time and arrange some programs by themselves, so that the Queen Mother can watch Le Yile? โ
"I want the concubine to say that this matter of performing in front of the Queen Mother still has to be handed over to Concubine Ning's sister."
The person who said this was Concubine Hui, in the harem, she was famous for worshipping high and low, and her mouth was extremely stinky.
In the past, when Concubine Ning was not disfigured and still had a family, she called Concubine Ning a respectful and respectful, elder sister and short sister.
Now seeing Concubine Ning's downfall, she changed her name to her sister and didn't say anything, and she made fun of her all day long.
At this moment, I saw Concubine Hui covering her mouth and snickering: "I heard that my sister's 'bat dance' in the imperial garden in the past amazed the emperor, why don't you take out this housekeeping ability and perform it in front of the queen mother." Bat Tongfu is also a symbol of blessing~~"
Concubine Ning had to sulk and didn't dare to say a word.
On the contrary, Concubine Xi couldn't stand it, and said: "If Concubine Hui likes dancing so much, this palace will order someone to go to the palace to train you well, and then you will perform the bat dance in front of the queen mother, how about it?" โ
Concubine Hui smiled embarrassedly, "The concubine said that she laughed, the concubine is clumsy, where can she learn that?" โ
"Are you clumsy?" Concubine Xi smiled like a flower, "You have a good review of Concubine Ning's dancing skills, and this palace also treats you as a dancer, and you have the ability to climb to the sky on the spot with your left foot and your right foot." โ
On weekdays, Concubine Xi and Concubine Ning don't move around much, but Concubine Hui didn't expect that she would be willing to stand up and speak for Concubine Ning at this time.
After being reprimanded, she had to whisper and say: "The lesson of the noble concubine is that the concubine lost her words. โ
"Okay, they're all their own sisters, and it's common to talk about two sentences, so there's no need to be so restrained." The queen took a sip of tea, and said: "The singing and dancing skills are all low-rate, not to mention the self-surrender of these vulgar skills, it is difficult to enter the eyes of the queen mother." It's just that, it's embarrassing for you to come up with new tricks for a while, if anyone has a good idea in the future, they can go to the palace in private to discuss, so let's disperse it today. โ
All the concubines saluted the queen in unison, and when they were about to retire, they saw the leader of Fengluan Palace, the eunuch Laixi, running in with a frightened face, and he didn't care about saluting the little lord next to him, and knelt in front of the queen with both knees on the ground.
The queen glanced at him, "What are you doing recklessly?" Carefully rammed into the master. โ
Lai Xi didn't even breathe, so he stammered: "The queen mother is not good!" His Majesty...... The emperor was infected with smallpox! โ
"What did you say!?"
The queen stood up with her heart covered, and her face turned pale in an instant.
The concubines also looked panicked, and they all covered their noses one by one, and they were terrified.
Lai Xi replied: "A few days ago, when the emperor and the queen mother left the palace to pray for blessings, they went to the bazaar by the way, and somehow they contracted this disease from the people. Now the doctors of the Tai Hospital are all in Chaoyang Palace for diagnosis and treatment, and the Queen Mother also rushed there. โ
"Go quickly, go and prepare a sedan chair for the main palace!" The queen hurriedly trotted all the way outside the palace, and some of the remaining concubines also wanted to follow her to see the situation, but she dissuaded them, "This disease is menacing, and it can surpass people's illness." Six out of ten people who are infected with the disease will lose their lives, so don't make trouble for this palace at this time. โ
She looked at Concubine Xi and ordered, "Concubine Xi, if this happens, the six palaces must be on guard. You go and sprinkle lime on all the palaces, and then burn vinegar and mugwort leaves to prevent the spread of disease in the palace. โ
Concubine Xi Guifei commanded: "The concubine respectfully obeys the queen's decree. โ
After the queen left, the rest of the concubines talked about it and hid back in their palaces to avoid suspicion.
Out of Fengluan Palace, Concubine Xi Guifei instructed Dong Huan and said, "Whatever Empress Fang Cai ordered, you just do it." โ
"Where are you going?"
"Go and visit the emperor. At this time, how can the palace let the queen take the lead? If the emperor can't get through it, if he survives, who is willing to serve him at this moment even if he doesn't want his life, isn't he the most caring person? โ
"Think twice! It's contagious, you ......."
Qiu Xi, a slave of Concubine Xi's family who was standing on the side, pushed Dong Huan and interrupted her, "Go, go, what the concubine Niangniang tells you to do, where did you come from so many words?" โ
drove away Dong Huan, Qiu Xi waited for Concubine Xi to get into the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "Niangniang had pox when she was young, and she will not live smallpox again." โ
Concubine Xi opened the sedan curtain and instructed in a deep voice: "Remember, this palace has never suffered from that disease, and today I rushed to serve in front of the palace, all because of the palace's admiration and love for the emperor from the bottom of my heart, understand?" โ
Qiu Xi smiled smartly, and said continuously: "The slave and maid don't have a good memory recently, and they have said nonsense, so please don't be surprised." โ
Concubine Xi bowed her head silently, and lowered the sedan curtain charmingly.
