Chapter 701 The Empress Regnant’s Enchanting Consort (33)
Bai Weiwei shot him a dazzling smile . “Alright . ”
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to 80 . 】 .

Upon their return, Bai Weiwei doted on Feng Yunian even more .
When he grew tired of reading memorials, she poured hot water and served tea .
When he handled government affairs until late at night, she would bring him midnight snacks .
When he needed to quell the aftermaths of the rebellion, she gave him the authority of a general .
The system felt as though it had been blinded by this sickeningly sweet dog couple .
Before, it had always been “abuse if you want to live . ”
Now, they came to such an easy-breezy1, singles 2 abusing world .
It couldn’t stomach this .
The male lead was so easily captured–his favorability just casually rose to eighty degrees . What an easy man .
It couldn’t hold back from nudging Bai Weiwei: “You just transferred all your power to the male lead? Aren’t you afraid that he’ll have a change of heart?”
Bai Weiwei was feeding Feng Yunian pastries .
“Yunian, ah, open your mouth . ”
Feng Yunian had his head lowered, in the middle of reviewing a memorial . He absentmindedly opened his mouth to accept the pastry in her hand .
Bai Weiwei’s fingers trembled as they withdrew .
Although Feng Yunian’s head was bowed, the flush of his ears couldn’t be suppressed .
The two glanced at each other at the same time, smiling sweetly in tacit understanding .
The neglected, single system: “…the last twenty points are the hardest to get . You’ve already given away the military . If something unexpected happens…”
Bai Weiwei smiled fondly3 as she picked up a cup of flowering tea4 . “Yunian, drink some tea . This flower is good for your stomach; you should drink more to stay healthy . ”
Feng Yunian lifted his head and took a sip .
“It’s sweet . ” His expression was gentle as he spoke with a smile .
Bai Weiwei looked at him affectionately . “Not as sweet as you . ”
The flush in Feng Yunian’s ears spread . He ducked his head, trying to hide the light dusting of pink on his face .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to 82 . 】
System: I’ve never seen such an easily captured male lead . He was bribed with just a cup of tea .
Bai Weiwei returned to her senses . “Did you say something just now?”

System: “…”
Bai Weiwei: “Weren’t you the one who wanted to start a cold war?”
System: It started a cold war, and she didn’t give a hoot about it . What cold war?
Bai Weiwei: “It’s okay if you want to continue your cold war, ba . I and my family’s Niannian don’t care at all . ”
The system which was just struck with another wave of sweet abuse suddenly became haggard and pale .
It felt as though it had a fake host .
In fact, it didn’t have a host at all . When other families’ hosts noticed their system was being silent, they would be anxious and afraid .
Or perhaps show concern .
Its host couldn’t wait for it to disappear .
The system could feel something hot pouring out of its eyes .
It was the loneliest system in history .
How sad .
Meanwhile, a carriage appeared outside the palace gates .
The curtain of the carriage was pulled away by a slim and white hand . The person behind the curtain was partially visible .

Her voice was colder than snow .
“Let Bai Weiwei come see me . She once said that if she conquered the country, then she would ask me to marry her5 . ”
The cold voice held a sense of arrogance .
“If I am willing to make a bet, I must accept my loss6 . She has taken my country, so I will marry her . ”
Bai Weiwei, in the middle of grinding ink, suddenly heard the system’s voice .
【Is the love of old a red rose or mosquito blood7? You once promised her the country, a lifelong vow . Now that the world and the people within are not the same as before, has your heart changed?】
【Side quest: An Old Love Returns to Love, Love, Love . 】
Bai Weiwei’s face was slack: “???”
【Please immediately welcome Feng Ling gongzhu into the palace . After marrying her in as empress, raise the other party’s favorability to above eighty . 】
【If the mission fails, both the host and system will be dropped from an altitude of ten thousand meters and fall face-first with the force of gravitational acceleration . May you share your fortunes8 and hardships9 as a family of host and system bound by deep emotions10 . 】
The system and host: Deep emotions, your uncle . This pit was as bottomless as the sea and could blow you sky-high . Why don’t you go be lovey-dovey yourself?
