After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Tyrant's Beloved (20)

[Host, the plot point "Male Protagonist Rescues The Female Protagonist" has been completed. Rewards include 500 points and a bottle of Illusion Beauty Pill.]

Back in the main hall of the Lu Ming Banquet, Li Shu suddenly heard 1314 that was unable to contain its joy: [Host, you're amazing! You managed to turn the plot around like this.]

1314 could barely hide its excitement. Just fifteen minutes ago, it thought this mission was destined to fail. Who would have expected such a turnaround, the plot point was completed smoothly, pushing the mission's plot advancement by 30%. It was truly a delightful surprise.

[What is the Illusion Beauty Pill? Why is the reward so much more than last time?] Last time, he only received a 100-point reward, and he thought the system would continue to be stingy.

[The Illusion Beauty Pill allows the user to change their appearance, with a duration of 72 hours. For each completed plot point, the rewards will be greater than the previous one. The host is now in a basic world, if it were an advanced world, the rewards would be even more abundant. Of course, as the world level increases, the corresponding task difficulty also increases.]

[It's normal, the more you invest, the more you gain.]

The events in the women's quarters had no impact on the lively atmosphere in the main hall where the Lu Ming Banquet was held. When Li Shu arrived, the atmosphere was still enthusiastic.

Amidst the commotion, the eunuch's cry suddenly came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"

It was as if a pause button had been pressed in the courtyard. After a moment of silence, everyone hurriedly adjusted their attire and knelt neatly: "Respectfully welcoming Your Majesty!"

The Emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe was followed by Prince Qin and Prince Yu on his left and right.

"Rise, everyone."

The Emperor's arrival represented a certain attitude, making the ministers realize that the Emperor's words earlier were not a momentary whim but a well-thought-out plan. He really intended to use officials who had passed the imperial examination.

Compared to the first meeting, the Emperor's attitude towards Li Shu was not as conspicuous at the Lu Ming Banquet. The top three scholars were individually summoned for a conversation, but Li Shu's conversation with the Emperor lasted a bit longer than that with the second and third scholars.

"The number one scholar, I've heard of your name for a long time."

Li Shu was holding the wine glass and was about to find a quiet place to stay for a while when he was stopped by a young man dressed similarly to him.

[Host, this is the person who glared at you earlier.]

Upon 1314's reminder, Li Shu remembered that during the audience with the emperor, he had sensed a malicious gaze behind him. However, since the person didn't take any action afterward, he had set aside the matter.

"Do you need me for something?" Li Shu raised his eyebrows slightly. He had finally found a moment to get some space, and had no intention of being entangled by someone with malicious intentions.

Li Shu's attitude wasn't particularly good, and his tone was clearly impatient, which instantly infuriated the young man. He mocked, "Why were you appointed as the top scholar by the Emperor? Don't you have any self-awareness? If it weren't for your father being the Left Prime Minister, would you have the chance to sit in that top scholar position?"
