Fourteen listed Qu Feiqing’s information in Su Xin’s mind in detail.

    Qu Feiqing, female, twenty-three years old, the eldest of three princesses of Quliu Kingdom, the current queen, and has been on the throne for four years.

    Su Xin read Qu Feiqing’s life little by little, and couldn’t help rubbing her forehead.

    This one is very ugly. Violence and cruelty is her label.

    Unlike the only female emperor in the history of Su Xin’s world, this female emperor took pains to plan and sit in that position when she was old. Qu Feiqing is still very young, but the capital is a deep place filled with murky waters and schemes, and she is a great existence that kills decisively. 

    The female emperor killed her son, and Qu Feiqing killed her father and her brothers and prisoners.

    Qu Feiqing was not a good person, if she was a good person, then she would not be the Empress.

    Su Xin thought of the question she wanted to ask such a great woman, and already felt how ghostly the picture was.

    Xue Yao’s wish was to let the first beauty of the four countries recognize that she is the most beautiful.

    If Su Xin ran to her and asked this question, she would definitely cross Qu Feiqing and be thrown outside the door to be chopped to death.

    Something was wrong.

    Fourteen, I’m starting to worry.

    [Don’t be afraid, you will be more afraid later, come on, maybe there will be more difficult things waiting for you later.]

    Fourteen had meant to comfort it’s host.

    Su Xin felt that she might have a fake system, how could there be such a vicious system in the world.

    [Yes, I can be more vicious.]

    Fourteen answered nonchalantly.

    Su Xin didn’t talk to Fourteen anymore. She was sitting in He Yun Shu’s carriage, which was relatively spacious and simple in style.

    Su Xin also knew that the task was not so easy. After all, it was the price of resurrection. If it was easy, wouldn’t it be too fake?

    He Yun Shu was dressed in women’s clothing, reading a book, leaning on the carriage walls, the light falling on her features, looking quite leisurely.

    Miss Luck is indeed Miss Luck, who also came from modern times. Su Xin has a flying license, but she doesn’t know how to cook, make medicinal materials, or make skin/facial masks. Miss Luck also does not. We are the same, I feel like we will have to make do with everything. 

    “Xue Yao, this time when we go to the capital, we will be separated when we get there. You take care of yourself.”

  He Yun Shu had told Su Xin that she was still very unfamiliar with that Xiang Manor, and she didn’t know what kind of problems would arise. In case someone had to deal with her, it would be bad if she got tied to Xue Yao.

    Although it is not very good to say that, no matter how you say it, she is a daughter-in-law of the Xiang Manor, and Xue Yao is just an ordinary woman without a background.

    “Great.”

    Su Xin still has a lot of money in her hands, but she doesn’t know the housing prices in the capital, she always thought it would be much more expensive.

    The only way for Su Xin’s identity to approach Qu Feiqing is through the Banquet of the Four Kingdoms. If she ran to Quliu State, she couldn’t say how far the border is and how difficult it is to reach Quliu State. It is estimated that she would be dead before reaching the palace. It’s unsafe, and she is still good friends with Miss Luck, who will rise to the pinnacle of her life and become the winner of her life in the future, so it is safer to stay here.

    When you arrive in the capital, you pay money to enter the capital, and Su Xin paid her fare.

    “Xue Yao, after you and I have settled down, I will come to you. If you are bullied, you must tell me.”

    He Yun Shu held Su Xin’s hand, and Su Xin nodded.

    Su Xin found a relatively remote alley to settle down, because the rent was quite  cheap, and the landlord was a grandmother. When she saw a young girl like Su Xin, she took a servant and made the rent a little cheaper.

    Su Xin had previously asked Shu Quan if she wanted to leave. After all, she might not have a good future, but Shu Quan’s eyes reddened when she heard Su Xin’s question, and she was about to cry.

    “Miss doesn’t want Shu Quan? Is it because Shu Quan is incompetent? Shu Quan can change. As long as Miss says something, Shu Quan will follow.”

    Shu Quan looked panicked, as if she wanted her to be free, leaving Su Xin to live without restraint. On the contrary, it was a sin. She thought Su Xin was going to abandon her.

    Su Xin had no choice but to let Shu Quan follow her, besides life was a lot easier if someone served her, at least Su Xin doesn’t have to cook by herself.

    Su Xin can learn anything, but cooking is the only thing she can’t. She seems to be a natural kitchen killer, but she can still enjoy eating.

    Qiu Qing Qing once commented on the cooking skills of her companion, that even the dogs were reluctant to eat what she made.

    Even if she changed her body, Su Xin still did not have this great skill.

    Su Xin and Shu Quan have been busy all day, cleaning the small yard and tidying up the temporary home.

    There is still one year before the start of the Banquet of the Four Kingdoms.

    Su Xin was thinking about how to participate in it. Generally speaking, they are recommended by brothels. They aren’t selected by auditioning like in modern times. Then they are screened out layer by layer. At the same time, many people can see the Banquet of the Four Kingdoms. Being selected by a brothel is absolutely impossible.

    Just let the emperor wait for important people to watch.

    So, Su Xin could not start from the brothel inside the capital, she had to start from the powerful.

    I don’t know if there is a romantic and enchanting prince in every world where Luck is in the sky. He seems to have nothing to do, but he is in fact hidden, and generally will be the protagonist or the main supporting role.

    This is Su Xin’s goal, the romantic Fifth Prince.

   The Fifth Prince loves beauties and wine, but he has a quirk. He likes to see beauties cry.

    After Su Xin knew of this quirk, she asked Fourteen whether it was a Prophet. Why had it given her that gift before? Su Xin had received Fourteen’s gift “Crocodile Tears” before.

    [That’s a coincidence, I just released it officially.]

    Fourteen gave Su Xin the information about the Fifth Prince Yu Hongliang, and let Su Xin study it by herself.

    Fourteen, you are really a good system with due diligence, as if you are omnipotent.

    Su Xin felt that Fourteen was a very anthropomorphic, human-like intelligent system, and it would even ridicule others in a venomous tongue. More importantly, Fourteen seemed to be very versatile, and the required information was not unavailable.

    [Thank you for the compliment, this is what I should do as a system, but the system is not omnipotent. If the system is omnipotent, what is the use of the hosts?]

    Fourteen said very seriously.

    System you big asshole.

    This can’t be boasted about, your narcissism is high up in the heavens.

    [The call request from the host next door, do you want to answer it? ]

    Fourteen gave Su Xin a ringtone, and then asked Su Xin’s opinion.

    Pick it up.

    Su Xin remembered that the system didn’t tell her when a colleague was doing things, which made her call in an inappropriate time and be scolded.

    [Hi, Sun Yixiao here, please reply when my colleague receives it. ]

    Unlike the electronic sound of Fourteen, a hearty female voice sounded in Su Xin’s mind.  She felt a little dizzy.

    [Su Xin.]

    [Oh, oh hello, I was very embarrassed last time, I was working when it asked to call on Fourteen, so cough cough…]

    [It’s okay, I understand. ]

  [Actually, I have nothing to do, just came to say hello to you, if you have any doubts that can’t be solved in the future, you can find me, this matter Fourteen should not stop it, after all, it is a task-oriented system, quite responsible. ]

    [Okay, thank you. ]

    The call was cut off. Su Xin sat in a chair and thought about it. The sudden call made Su Xin unable to think about what questions she wanted to ask. There is no problem that can’t be solved. Su Xin is not particularly fond of it. People like to chat with homely people, so let’s do that first.

    It has been half a month since Su Xin came to Beijing. According to the hobbies of the Fifth Prince, Su Xin was dressed very clean and fresh and went to deliver the goods.

    Su Xin had no source of income, so after she arrived in the capital, she found a job with the help of the landlord’s grandmother as an embroiderer in the embroidery room.

    Fortunately, the original owner has the foundation. Ancient girls like to play the piano and embroider when they are free. For female workers these things are a requirement, so Xue Yao’s embroidering is not bad. Su Xin might be a kitchen killer, but if one works hard enough, talent and diligent practice become almost the same thing.

    She took the embroidery samples to the embroidery workshop that grandma said, and was taken in by the boss. Su Xin made the usual large clothes in the embroidery workshop and took some small purses back home to finish making them. 

    Su Xin bought a roast chicken when she went back and wrapped it in greased paper. She bumped into a person on the road, and tightly protected her greased paper bag.

    “Sorry.”

    Su Xin glanced at the man, just a glance, and then she began to leave.

    “Wait a minute, you are going to bump into me and just leave?”

    The man’s voice was so good that he stopped Su Xin. 

    “Is there anything else, Young Master?”

    Su Xin looked at the man’s eyes, and she actually couldn’t tell whether the man just hit her intentionally or accidentally.

    Fifth Prince, Yu Hongliang.

    Yu Hongliang looked at Su Xin with his arms clasped and a smile on his lips, thinking that he should be pretty good. All the girls in the capital saw his affectionate eyes and blushed, but the woman in front of him didn’t care.

   She looked good, as good-looking as all the women he has seen. He planned to buy a roast chicken for the little idiot today, and continue to eat chicken and drink with the little idiot, but he did not expect to bump into one that he thought was good. 

    “Listening to your accent, it isn’t from Beijing right?”

    “I’m from the south, so… what else does Young Master want?”

    Su Xin was using the bitterness that Fourteen had given her.

  Su Xin was going to use the ‘Crocodile Tears’ that Fourteen had given her.

   Fourteen said, for this kind of charming and distinguished man, it’s better to bait him a little without overdoing it, afterwards do something unexpected and fresh that he has never seen before, and then you can do whatever you want with him. Great. 

    When Su Xin heard Fourteen say this, she felt it was an AI written story, but was interrupted.

   “Master Yu, you are too slow in buying that roasted chicken. I have already bought my wine and yet here you are empty-handed, teasing  a girl.”

    Su Xin heard a very familiar voice from not far away, and Yu Hongliang turned helplessly.

    “Little idiot, what are you saying, come.”

    “You are the idiot.”

    He Yun Shu came over with a smile, and was stunned after seeing Su Xin.

    “Xue Yao!”

    He Yun Shu strode over, pushed Yu Hongliang away, and hugged Su Xin.

    “He Yun Shu.”

    Long time no see, Miss Lucky.
