Chapter 162 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 8)
Even if I use you, will you still be my...friend?
Qingyu suddenly turned around, getting closer, and a cool, intoxicating fragrance wafted towards her. She looked at Gu Zhongchun, who was just staring blankly at the person in front of him—
As bright as stars, captivating the heart.
Gu Zhongchun's face quickly turned bright red. He, who always liked to pretend, was now in a state of utter confusion, but he still nodded calmly, "Yes, even if you are using me, it is my honor!"
Qingyu smiled gently, the playfulness in her eyes like a breeze, unpredictable yet refreshing.
"Let's call it a day, Jung-chun?"
With those words, she gracefully departed, carrying the boy's heart full of longing. Her slender figure left the boy standing there, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
The news of Qingyu's return to the palace spread instantly. The Empress did not summon her, but instead bestowed upon her some gifts as usual.
The Queen was never stingy when it came to these material things.
Qingyu left the arrangements to Qingling, then locked herself in her study and began to study the book carefully.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered a faint restriction hidden within the book.
This is something the original owner didn't discover in the original storyline.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the original owner's abilities were not as great as the abilities she was born with, after all, she now has a considerable amount of soul power.
Compared to ordinary people.
After thinking it over, Qingyu decided to take the gamble and unravel the mystery no matter what was inside.
So she entered the system space for the first time, startling the system, which immediately put on its custom-made clothes, exclaiming, "You...you came in without saying a word! I was repairing myself!"
Qingyu gave it a disdainful look. "Don't worry, you were just a pixelated mess. What could I possibly see?"
After saying that, he began to use his soul power to break the restriction, which made the system jump up and down, "What are you doing?! My soul is finally a little better! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
But as soon as it finished speaking, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from the book, so strong that the system almost lost its grip on the screen and was blown away!
"So this book contains a small world?" Qingyu murmured to herself, a smile spreading across her face. This discovery was an unexpected delight.
"Where did you get this amazing thing?!" The system circled around Qingyu in shock, wanting to reach out and touch it, but hesitating, which amused Qingyu.
"This is mine, don't even think about it."
System: "...Hmph, who cares!"
In reality, he kept secretly glancing around.
Qingyu smiled and shook her head, ignoring it, and nimbly left the space.
System: "..." Use it and leave!
snort!
After Qingyu left the space, before she could do anything else, Qingling's voice came from the doorway, "Grand Preceptor, Consort Ru... has sent over some clothes."
Qingyu's expression shifted slightly. She quickly put on a robe before nodding and saying, "Come in."
However, she couldn't help but secretly ponder the deeper meaning behind Consort Ru's actions.
A moment later, Qingling carefully carried in a piece of clothing.
The garment was exceptionally beautiful, made of the finest material, soft and smooth in texture, shimmering with a delicate luster.
The embroidered patterns on it are exquisite, with fine and lifelike stitches, as if they could leap off the fabric at any moment.
Qingling hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Grand Preceptor, this outfit... isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Qingyu did not answer. She moved closer and stretched out her slender fingers to gently stroke the dress, feeling its silky texture and exquisite embroidery.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, forming a smile with a hint of amusement.
That's definitely inappropriate. As the Imperial Advisor, this outfit is far too extravagant for her; it's simply not something she should wear.
but……
"Qingling, in your opinion, is Consort Ru sending such a gorgeous dress because she intends to win me over?" Qingyu turned to look at Qingling, who was standing respectfully to the side, her thin lips pressed tightly together, and asked softly.
Upon hearing this, Qingling quickly bowed and said with a worried look in her eyes, "Grand Preceptor, you are deeply trusted by His Majesty. Consort Ru must have seen this as well, which is why she took action. I'm afraid she has ulterior motives and other schemes. Please be careful."
He spoke from the heart, fearing that Qingyu might be deceived.
Upon hearing this, Qingyu couldn't help but chuckle softly, her laughter clear and melodious, like the sound of silver bells.
“That makes sense, but since that’s the case, how can I easily let her ‘good intentions’ go to waste?”
And this outfit is really beautiful!
She has always liked this kind of gorgeous clothing, and no one has stipulated that the Imperial Preceptor must dress properly.
As she spoke, she stood up and instructed Qingling, "Go and prepare. I want to wear this dress to stroll in the Imperial Garden and see if the spring scenery can compare to my splendor today."
Her brows were full of interest, as if it was just a passing fancy, or perhaps she really liked it. After a moment of silence, Qingling reluctantly went to prepare.
When Qingyu put on that dress, Qingling finally understood the true meaning of "a beauty that could topple kingdoms" in ancient Chinese.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her gorgeous dress did not conceal her beauty. Instead, it made her look like a fairy from heaven, elegant and otherworldly, with a natural lightness. The charm revealed in her beautiful eyes was innate. Her beauty was incomparable. Her red lips and willow eyebrows made people fall in love at first sight.
Qingling was completely mesmerized. When she finally came to her senses, she was so dazed that she didn't know what to say. "Grand Preceptor..."
Qingyu smiled sweetly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes shimmering like autumn water. "Qingling, is it pretty?"
“Beautiful…” Qing Ling murmured to himself, his jealousy growing wildly, but he couldn’t say a word and could only stare at it blankly.
Qingyu ignored her and put on a silver mask, which covered five-tenths of her ten-tenths appearance, but because of her overall temperament, it rose to eight-tenths. Her look back was full of gentle charm.
"Are you really going to become a scapegoat?" the system suddenly asked, somewhat puzzled. "What's the point of doing this? To show off your beauty?"
Qingyu stepped outside, her eyes clear. "You're half right. The other half is... teasing Consort Ru~"
The system blinked blankly, then exclaimed, "Are you crazy? That's the Empress's man!"
Qingyu rolled her eyes at it, "What are you thinking? Don't underestimate Consort Ru. Don't forget that in the original story, he boarded Feng Yu's pirate ship. Wouldn't it be perfect to win him over?"
"Then why don't you just use your beauty to seduce him!"
"Isn't that what I'm doing on my way?" Qingyu retorted. The system was speechless for a long time before finally blurting out in frustration, "So you still want to look good!"
Qingyu ignored it.
So what if it is? What woman doesn't love beauty?
At the same time, Consort De also learned about Consort Ru sending clothes, and immediately smashed a tea set in anger, shouting, "Shameless!"
How dare His Majesty's man approach the Imperial Advisor!
Besides, wasn't that dress worn by Consort Ru herself? How could she have tampered with it!
Now that we're focusing on the Imperial Advisor, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?!
