Chapter 17 Entering the game personally
After washing and draining, peeling, slicing and cutting, Jiang Jiang's hands kept moving, handling various ingredients skillfully and swiftly.
At the same time, he explained to the system that he was not slacking off.
"You know, those guests are arrogant and think they are superior because of their special skills. They are unwilling to be lowly and servile slaves. If I don't upgrade, how can I contact the masters in higher positions and find the smuggled guests?"
[But, but...] The system was unwilling to give in and wanted to say something else, but couldn't find the words to refute.
Because the system plays a minimal role in the entire mission.
The mess was caused by the system. The host did not complain and even agreed to help. The system really has no right to ask for more.
"Xiao Jiang, the Queen Mother has summoned you to see her in the afternoon."
Jiang Jiang was suspicious, "Aunt, what can the Queen Mother say?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You'll know when you get there."
"Okay, thanks, auntie."
The Queen Mother has summoned her quite frequently these past two days. I wonder if it’s because Jiang Jiang took over the Princess’s food on his own initiative and the Queen Mother is unhappy about it.
With an uneasy heart, Jiang Jiang walked into the Empress Dowager's palace on time before she woke up from her nap.
The door curtain opened a crack and then quickly fell back.
The maid reported to the people inside through the screen, "Empress Dowager."
"Are you here?" The Queen Mother raised her eyelids, put down the teacup, and stretched out her hand to signal the maid beside her to help her up.
The Queen Mother was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe embroidered with exquisite phoenix patterns, which looked lifelike, as if they could spread their wings and fly away at any time.
Her hair was combed meticulously and tied into a noble bun, which was filled with various precious jewels and sparkled with dazzling light.
Her face is dignified and beautiful. Time does not seem to have left too many traces on her face, but instead adds a sense of calmness and majesty.
Every gesture and movement reveals her elegance and grace.
This is the most noble woman in the world.
Jiang Jiang finally saw the real person.
Prettier and younger than I expected.
She is not the same person as the decisive and murderous empress dowager I met last time.
Maybe the current emperor is the father or grandfather of the previous emperor.
Jiang Jiang was guessing in his heart.
There is no trace on the face.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness the Queen Mother."
"Lift your head and let me see."
She raised her head slightly, her eyes firm and awed, and tried to meet the scrutinizing gaze of her superior.
The Queen Mother stood on the steps, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a serious and solemn face. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if they could penetrate people's souls.
The air around was filled with a solemn atmosphere. The palace maids stood quietly by, not daring to make a sound.
Time seemed to stand still, with only the sound of heartbeats echoing in my ears.
"My dear child, your father is very lucky to have a child like you."
Jiang Jiang had a thousand guesses in her mind, but she still couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother meant by this.
But the aunt on the side kicked Jiang Jiang and said fiercely, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you thank me quickly?!"
Although she didn't understand, Jiang Jiang still did it.
"I thank the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother took another look at Jiang Jiang who was crawling on the ground, then walked around the skinny figure that looked like a kitten, and a group of people walked out of the gate in a mighty manner.
Jiang Jiang pondered for a long time, but still didn't understand what the Queen Mother meant.
[This system has checked, she has added your name to the list of concubines for the prince, the Queen Mother personally selected you.]
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Jiang collapsed to the ground.
A chill covered his back, making Jiang Jiang breathless.
List of Concubines...
It turned out that she was to be the Queen Mother's pawn to monitor the future Emperor.
Using the original owner's family as a threat.
Jiang Jiang felt like the sky was falling.
Why did she work so hard to be the princess's tutor and try so hard to please her?
She didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine, and didn't want to fight with other concubines...
"Which prince?"
