Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Li Yunsheng exclaimed, "Wow!"

This amount was much larger than he had imagined.

"Then what are you waiting for? Keep moving!"

Jiang Qingying, standing to the side, grew anxious.

Where are you moving to?

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my residence is large enough to accommodate all these things."

Jiang Qingying stared wide-eyed, wondering if she had misheard.

"This is my imperial treasury. You want to move it to your own home?"

She had assumed Li Yunsheng would move to the Ministry of Personnel, but she never expected him to be so shameless as to want to move into her home.

"Your Majesty, I am only keeping it temporarily. I will return it to Your Majesty after you assume personal rule."

Seeing that she could not protect her own treasury, the Empress had no choice but to settle for second best.

"Then what will be my monthly allowance from now on?"

Li Yunsheng said matter-of-factly.

"His Majesty hasn't even assumed personal rule yet, why would he need a monthly allowance?"

Chapter 49 How about I bestow the throne upon you?

"My gold and silver inlaid bronze leopard paperweight!"

"My silver-gilt, pearl-inlaid golden-winged bird!"

"My coral enamel bonsai!"

……

Jiang Qingying stood at the entrance of the main hall, watching eagerly.

Watching the guards carry out box after box of money she had always been reluctant to spend.

Watching them pack up those rare treasures she couldn't bear to use, one by one.

She was heartbroken when she broke a bronze agate cup with an animal head.

If she had known that these things would end up benefiting this guy, she would have loved to smash them all—it was quite a waste.

[Mood value +5000]

[Mood score +3000]

[Emotional Value +10000]

……

Amidst the Empress's rambling, Li Yunsheng's system emotion value continued to rise.

He also discovered a pattern: the level of emotional intensity corresponded to the value of the item the Empress saw.

The more expensive something is, the more heartbroken I feel, and the greater my emotional fluctuations become.

"Your Majesty truly knows them all by heart."

Jiang Qingying looked resentful, but her eyes couldn't bear to leave those rare treasures.

"That's my house, it's mine!"

Although it pained her to see it, she couldn't bear to leave and kept staring at the door.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, she turned to look at Li Yunsheng, her tone somewhat submissive.

"Can't I keep just one thing that I like?"

"Of course, which item would Your Majesty prefer to keep?"

As items were moved away one by one, Li Yunsheng also discovered a problem.

Although the sentiment value is still increasing, the value has begun to show a downward trend.

After all, seeing so many things about to belong to someone else, the initial emotions are the most intense.

But as time went by, the emotions gradually subsided, and I became numb.

Li Yunsheng knew it was time to give the Empress some new stimulation and continue to stir her emotions.

Seeing that he had agreed, the Empress immediately pointed to a box being held by a member of the Imperial Guard inside the main hall.

"Hey, this ivory boulders are my favorite!"

Inside the hall, a Golden Guard was placing a 35-layered, intricately carved ivory ball into a brocade box.

Li Yunsheng waved towards the inside.

"Bring that ivory sphere to His Majesty."

The Imperial Guards presented the brocade box to the Empress with both hands.

Just as Jiang Qingying got her hands on the ivory sphere, before she could even fiddle with it for a bit, she caught a glimpse of something else in the inner treasury.

"My hibiscus stone incense burner with coiled dragon handles!"

Li Yunsheng reminded him from the side.

"Your Majesty, we agreed to keep the same ones."

Jiang Qingying looked at the ivory sphere in her arms, and then at the auspicious and abundant exquisite vase.

I want both, and I can't bear to part with either of them.

After much hesitation, he gritted his teeth and gave away the ivory sphere.

"I no longer want the ivory pebbles; keep the rose quartz dragon-ear incense burner."

Li Yunsheng wanted to laugh inwardly. Just as he expected, the Empress's emotional value increased significantly when she was struggling and hesitating.

He was happy to stand aside and watch the Empress's conflicted expression.

I can't bear to part with either of them, but I have no choice but to make one.

Although the Empress could usually act like a queen in front of Li Yunsheng, she also learned to disguise herself with a cold and aloof demeanor in private.

But when it comes to money, all her pretense vanishes.

What Li Yunsheng saw was a little money-grubber.

However, Li Yunsheng soon realized that something was wrong.

The Empress's face revealed a triumphant smile, which she tried her best to conceal, but the slight upturn of her thin lips could not be hidden at all.

Moreover, based on observation using her innate skills, the Empress's current emotions are clearly: [triumphant, happy...]

Jiang Qingying pointed to a large porcelain vase: "I want to replace it with that famille rose 'Sea House Adds a Year' vase!"

At this moment, Li Yunsheng finally understood.

This isn't just something she kept her favorite; it's clearly the most valuable thing she kept.

The items they exchanged were all more valuable than the last.

However, the Empress's little scheme succeeded, so the loss to Li Yunsheng was not significant.

Whether you're happy or angry, the emotional value increases the same way.

At this moment, Jiang Qingying was no longer satisfied with the auspicious and exquisite vase in her arms.

Because it is almost the most valuable item in the inner treasury, and it is irreplaceable.

The Empress glanced at Li Yunsheng beside her out of the corner of her eye, cleared her throat, and spoke.

“It’s inevitable that things will bump into each other in this palace. If any decoration breaks, I can’t just leave it empty.”

"Your Majesty is right. Perhaps Your Majesty could keep one more item?"

The auspicious and abundant exquisite wine vessel was quite heavy, and Jiang Qingying's arms were a little sore from holding it with both hands the whole time.

"Li Yunsheng, you are already richer than a country, why bother arguing with me about one, two, three, or four things?"

Seeing her like this, Li Yun felt a urge to tease her.

"Your Majesty, a ruler's word is law."

"you--"

Shangguan Xuanran stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, leave it to me."

Seeing that there was nothing left to exchange, Jiang Qingying handed over the Auspicious Abundance Exquisite Vase.

Li Yunsheng pointed to her palm and asked.

"Your Majesty, why are your hands so black?"

"no!"

Jiang Qingying clenched her fists and tucked them into her sleeves.

Just now, because she was so worried, her palms were sweaty, which had already soaked the questions she had written on her palms.

He held the auspicious and exquisite bronze vessel in his arms, and his entire palm was black.

This reminder made her realize that she still had questions she hadn't asked.

However, with so many people around, it's not appropriate to ask directly.

Seeing that she had almost finished moving everything, she didn't want to linger any longer.

"Li Yunsheng, these are all my things. If you dare to lose even one of them, I will hold you accountable!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Seeing that she wanted to leave, Li Yunsheng immediately spoke up.

"Your Majesty, stay."
