Chapter 1247 Prices Have Doubled
Liang Chongyue stayed in the study until evening when Yunling knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, dinner is ready. The Empress Dowager has asked me to call you down for your meal."
Upon hearing this, the system's data entity immediately woke up and flew straight towards the door.
When the string of sapphire blue data passed through the door and Yun Ling was still waiting at the door, he realized that he had forgotten to put on his clothes.
From the moment the system passed through the door to the moment it flashed back to Liang Chongyue, it took only two seconds.
"Host, is my dog skin washed yet?"
Liang Chongyue took out the system from the machine. The dog skin had been bleached to a snow-white color and still carried a faint floral fragrance.
The system exclaimed in a top-tier voice: "Delicious! This is the taste! It's amazing!"
Liang Chongyue ignored its silly and arrogant appearance, tidied up the things on the table, got up and pushed the door open to go out.
He said to Yunling, who was waiting at the door, "You guys should also pack up tonight."
When His Majesty spoke at noon today, Yunling heard it, smiled and agreed, and followed His Majesty to the dining hall.
Inside the restaurant, the tables were already laden with food, and Liang Chongyue glanced at them and saw that almost all of them were her favorite dishes.
"Come and try this fish. You said it was delicious last time, so I had someone buy a lot more and keep them in the yard."
After washing his hands and sitting down, Liang Chongyue tasted the fish that his mother had specially recommended. The taste was indeed good: "Fish from Jiangnan are best enjoyed with osmanthus blossoms in spring and peach blossoms in summer. The meat is better than that from the capital."
Over the years, Liang Chongyue has developed an extremely discerning palate; she can tell the difference between different foods just by tasting them.
But she's not picky about food; she'll eat even the less desirable dishes.
As soon as Liang Chongyue finished speaking, a voice echoed from the system.
It was already a big dog, and it usually barked in a low voice, which was loud enough. But today, the food in the system's bowl looked like a miniature version of a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
The system gets even louder when it gets excited.
"puppy."
Liang Chongyue only called out to it once, and the system immediately pressed its head into the basin and obediently ate.
Xiang Huayue was already used to this scene and continued to serve food to His Majesty.
After finishing his meal, Liang Chongyue got up to leave as usual, but was stopped by Li Furong.
"Your Majesty, please wait." Liang Chongyue turned around to listen to her continue.
"This afternoon I thought of several beautiful scenic spots in Qiyang that are rarely seen, but I haven't been there for a long time. I wonder if they are still the same as they were back then."
Li Furong was still somewhat timid and hesitant in front of Liang Chongyue, which was a sign of her fear of the emperor.
Seeing her like this, Liang Chongyue didn't make things difficult for her: "Your aunt can just tell Yunling about these things. After Yunling summarizes them, she will submit them to me."
Upon hearing this, Li Furong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, then I won't bother Your Majesty any longer."
Liang Chongyue left the dining room and did not return to the study, but sat down in the courtyard.
Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, the moon tonight seems a little shy and has hidden itself away.
The starlight here is much brighter than in the capital.
Seeing His Majesty sitting outside, Ping An quickly brought out a bowl of lily bulb and lotus seed soup from the kitchen:
"The kitchen said it's a new product, with some cooling herbs added. This servant thinks it tastes good and is bringing it to Your Majesty to try."
Liang Chongyue looked down, and Ping An immediately understood His Majesty's meaning.
After putting down the bowl of lily and lotus seed soup, I stood a little further away and waited.
Liang Chongyue had just finished eating when he picked up the bowl of lotus seed soup and tasted it. It was sweet with a hint of bitterness.
The taste was so-so; she didn't really like it.
After putting down the bowl, Liang Chongyue said to Ping An, who was waiting beside her, "This tastes like Mother Empress. Let's take it to her to try later."
She doesn't need to.
Ping An could tell that His Majesty didn't like this kind of food, and after responding, he was about to leave when he turned around and almost bumped into the puppy.
The system came out after eating and smelled a sweet aroma.
As the dog's nose searched around, it spotted the lily and lotus seed soup that Liang Chongyue had already tasted a couple of times.
In taking care of the puppy, Liang Chongyue has never had to say a word in all these years.
Ping An had already arrived with the small bucket that the system often used, which was full of lily and lotus seed soup. Liang Chongyue casually poured in the soup she had already tasted.
We can't waste it.
The left and right systems didn't care about this bite either; their bellies were already round and full, and there was still room to stuff this bucket in.
The lotus seed soup was all poured for the puppy, while Liang Chongyue drank her herbal tea and enjoyed the scenery.
If it weren't for the mess with the Xie family, Qiyang would be a picturesque place.
After the system finished drinking the whole bucket of lotus seed soup, Liang Chongyue got up and kicked the system's butt as it lay down to enjoy the evening breeze and drift off to sleep.
"Come with me for a stroll. If you lie down again, you'll get even fatter."
The system reluctantly got up. Getting rid of its body was too easy; it only required a slight adjustment to the data.
It's not as exaggerated as the host described.
Liang Chongyue went out with the system, without anyone accompanying her.
Whether or not there is a system, even if you encounter a ghost on the road, you should be worried about the other side.
The system strolled along beside its host, and only spoke when they were far away from the courtyard: "Where are you going, host?"
Liang Chongyue opened the panel and directly searched for Fei He and Li Yu'an's locations.
The two men weren't together, presumably because those officials had so much treasure hidden in their homes that if they were all together, the speed of confiscating their property would actually be slower.
Li Yu'an was closest to her, so Liang Chongyue didn't hesitate and went there with the system.
It happened to be the home of that somewhat clever provincial inspector. Liang Chongyue stood under the huge plaque, the early summer evening breeze blowing her robes and lifting the ends of her tied-up hair.
"Such ostentation, I have never noticed it all these years. The Great Xia is a vast and resource-rich land, I wonder how many more official residences like this exist."
The system crouched beside the host, listening to the host's rambling.
Someone whispered from the side, "If the master really wants to know, we can pay for the information."
The system's reminder brought back memories of that incident for Liang Chongyue.
Looking back now, it seems that the forum was actually quite useful when the system was spending money to buy monster information.
Liang Chongyue: "What's the price now?"
The screen on the panel changed rapidly, and the system quickly brought up the forum.
As Liang Chongyue walked into the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner's residence, he mentally scrolled through the posts on the forum.
I noticed that the prices of all the tasks listed on the first page of the forum had increased a hundredfold compared to the previous time.
However, judging from this, the price is not unaffordable for Liang Chongyue.
It's enough to just deduct a month's allowance from the system.
Previously, a few hundred or a few dozen dollars was enough to occupy the first page of this forum.
It had only risen to tens of thousands or a few thousand. The system was browsing the forum and watching the excitement when it suddenly felt a burning gaze on it. When it looked up, it met the host's eyes and immediately sensed something was wrong.
