As long as he remains clear-headed and doesn't get misled by these so-called female leads, the system's mission will not succeed.
If the system keeps failing, it won't be harmed, nor will it receive any benefits.
If the system itself doesn't benefit, then naturally the host it's bound to won't receive positive feedback either...
Xiao Jing'an thought about it more and more and felt that it made sense. In order to test the truth of this conjecture, he felt that he should agree to the Empress's request.
After Xiao Jing'an understood, he moved and glanced at the concubines below him, finding that they were all waiting for him to agree.
After a moment's thought, he understood what the concubines meant; they were getting anxious because he hadn't been to the inner palace for a long time.
He realized that even if he didn't agree, it seemed like it was no use.
Xiao Jing'an smiled and said to Jiang Lingyao, "Then let's do as the Empress wishes. I also want to see what talents my beloved concubines have."
Since Emperor Xiao Jing'an had agreed, the concubines below him were getting restless. However, those of higher rank hadn't made a move yet, and those below didn't dare to step forward.
Finally, the Empress stepped in and asked those who wanted to perform to register first, and then perform in order of rank from lowest to highest.
Having already entered the palace, the concubines present all harbored some ambition, and those with a particular skill signed up.
Su Jinyue was still under house arrest, so she didn't plan to come out and attract attention at this time.
In her previous worlds, just in case, she had also learned many skills, and to a considerable degree.
But Su Jinyue didn't intend to step forward and get Xiao Jing'an to lift the confinement, so she decided to continue hiding.
Su Jinyue planned to just watch the show and see what the other girls were up to.
However, as she looked at it, Su Jinyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"I must say, the women in Xiao Jing'an's harem are all quite talented!"
As expected of a woman raised in a prominent family, she is proficient in at least one of the four arts: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Xiao Jing'an is truly blessed.
With so many beautiful girls around, why can't they all revolve around me? I also want to get close to fair-skinned, pretty girls...
Hearing Su Jinyue's heartfelt words, Xiao Jing'an couldn't even bear to watch the performance anymore.
What on earth was Su Jinyue thinking? These people were performing to get his attention. Su Jinyue wasn't worried that he would fall for someone else, but it was a pity that she couldn't be with these people, embracing them on both sides.
Xiao Jing'an secretly resolved that he would keep Su Jinyue far away from these women in the future, as he did not want a lecherous maniac to appear in his harem.
"Tsk, Her Majesty the Empress's plan is truly ingenious. After the mourning period ended, Jiang Lingyao was unable to lure Xiao Jing'an to the Empress's palace several times, so the Empress changed her strategy."
By displaying all the women in the harem, she not only demonstrated her magnanimity as empress but also silenced both the court and the harem.
But in reality, Jiang Lingyao's only purpose was to obtain Xiao Jing'an's seed.
Jiang Lingyao didn't care who Xiao Jing'an took a liking to or who he favored. In this new life, he had already severed all ties with love and affection.
But no matter which concubine Xiao Jing'an takes a fancy to, if he wants to enter the harem, he must first come to the Empress.
Jiang Lingyao married Xiao Jing'an during her period of mourning and spent more than two years alone in an empty room. Logically and emotionally, Xiao Jing'an should consummate his marriage with the Empress first.
Only then could Xiao Jing'an go find other women.
"As long as Jiang Lingyao has Xiao Jing'an come to her palace once and gets his seed, Xiao Jing'an can go wherever he wants after that..."
Xiao Jing'an had completely lost interest in watching the performance. Couldn't Su Jinyue say something nice?
He knew the Empress's thoughts without Su Jinyue needing to explain them.
Xiao Jing'an also knew that this door could not be opened yet. He had not yet figured out the system on the Empress's body. If she fell into the trap, it would be even more difficult to deal with in the future.
The performance continued, and finally it was Wei Changzai's turn to appear.
Wei Changzai is going to perform a dance. Her biological mother was a dancer, so she has been learning dance since she was a child.
In addition, she is now bound to the system, which also has skill points for the amazing dance moves, but she has no points. She begged the system for a long time before it reluctantly agreed to give her the skill points on credit.
Wei Changzai changed her clothes and made a confident entrance. She was determined to complete the system's task and attract Xiao Jing'an's attention.
With Xiao Jing'an's favor, she was able to help her beloved complete his great cause, and only then could she stay with him forever.
Wei Changzai's dance moves were still quite beautiful, but Xiao Jing'an was still immersed in the frustration of Su Jinyue's inner thoughts and had no mood to appreciate them.
But Consort Chun, Ruan Ruolan, who had traveled through several worlds, discovered that she had seen the dance performed by Consort Wei in other worlds!
Although the possibility of coincidence cannot be ruled out, Ruan Ruolan still became vigilant.
She immediately asked her quick transmigration system, "System, is there something wrong with Consort Wei? I've seen her dance in other worlds before."
Quick Transmigration System: [Beep, system scanning in progress...]
The quick transmigration system quickly replied to Ruan Ruolan.
Quick Transmigration System: [Beep, the scanned target, Wei Changzai, exhibits anomalies. System energy fluctuations are detected within her body. Preliminary assessment indicates that this person is bound to a system.]
Ruan Ruolan thought this world was just a simple strategy mission, but she never expected to meet someone in the same boat.
She had no intention of appreciating each other's hometown, and besides, Wei Changzai's system mission was clearly also for Xiao Jing'an. They were competitors, so there was even less need for them to acknowledge each other.
"System, what is the opponent's system level? What kind of system is it? Can you defeat it?"
Quick Transmigration System: [Beep, detection shows the target system does not have the function of allowing the host to travel through time and space; its level is low and it can be absorbed.]
Upon hearing the quick transmigration system's reply, Ruan Ruolan revealed a mysterious smile. She had completed several world missions and encountered other systems along the way.
After her system devours and absorbs other systems, it always gains more functions, and she can even get some of the other system's skills for free.
Now we've encountered another system, but the level of her system isn't even as high. What are we waiting for?
Wei Chang's performance at this time was to gain Xiao Jing'an's attention, so how could Ruan Ruolan let her succeed?
"System, you can start attacking the other system now."
Quick Transmigration System: [Ding, okay.]
The quick transmigration system quickly entered Wei Changzai's mind, and wherever the favored concubine system was located, it immediately began to attack the other party.
The Beloved Concubine System: [Ding! The system is under attack! The system is under attack!]
The moment the Favored Concubine System was attacked, it issued an alarm, and at the same time, Consort Wei's head began to throb with pain.
Wei Changzai screamed in agony, and the dance she was performing came to an abrupt halt. She collapsed to the ground, clutching her head.
