After Reincarnating into Ancient Times, She Bound a Express Delivery System

Chapter 269: Imperial Inspection in Person

Chapter 269

"I can earn one point for doing a good deed, but I can earn a hundred points for doing a good deed for you..."

Li Shuchen pondered and said, "So I'm a hundred times more important to you."

"...Besides that, are there any other ways to earn more points?"

Qi Huan thought for a moment, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she said sweetly, "Yes."

"Before, in Mo County, when it was my birthday and you made offerings, I also gained a lot of points!"

Hearing this, Li Shuchen nodded slightly, appearing nonchalant.

After June, the days started getting hotter, and Qi Huan began retreating to her space to enjoy the air conditioning.

At the same time, the milk tea shop introduced an ice-adding service.

Iced mung bean soup and iced plum juice also went on sale.

After Qi Huan sent Xiu Yuan to find ice jelly seeds, she enthusiastically began researching how to make ice jelly in the small kitchen of Yonghuan Palace.

First, she wrapped the ice jelly seeds in cotton cloth and soaked them in a basin of water for a while. Then she began rubbing them as if washing clothes...

The more she rubbed, the thicker the water became and the bigger the bubbles got. She only stopped when the ice jelly seeds no longer felt sticky.

Next, she slowly added edible limewater, stirring quickly, then placed it in the icy section of her space to chill.

When the ice jelly cooled, she poured in boiled brown sugar water and sprinkled crunchy peanut bits and watermelon cubes on top to enrich the texture.

After making the first bowl, Qi Huan couldn't wait to eat it herself.

After making the second bowl, she wanted to give it to Li Shuchen.

When she arrived outside the Imperial Study, a young eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please enter."

Qi Huan was surprised: "Don't you need to announce me?"

"His Majesty has instructed that whenever you come, you should be allowed to enter directly."

"Oh." Her voice lifted slightly at the end as she walked into the hall with light steps.

Ice basins had been placed inside the hall, making it relatively cool.

At the imperial desk, Li Shuchen's brow was frosty, his handsome face cold, continuously releasing a chilly aura. The young eunuchs in the hall kept their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing his displeased expression, Qi Huan put down the ice bowl and asked with concern, "A-Shu, what's wrong?"

The moment he heard her voice, Li Shuchen's eyes softened instantly. He dismissed everyone else and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"A-Huan, I'm preparing to personally lead the troops into battle."

"South Liang, incited by Li Yuanxiu, has joined forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack us. South Liang is wealthy and has strong troops and horses. With Li Yuanxiu's constant financial support, this war might be quite difficult. The soldiers' morale is low, and I need to give them confidence."

Li Shuchen wasn't afraid of going to the battlefield, but he was reluctant to part with the soft, delicate person in his arms.

He rested his chin on Qi Huan's shoulder and asked, "A-Huan, do you want to stay in the palace, or do you want to come with me?"

Without hesitation, Qi Huan said, "Of course I'll come with you!"

She had her space, which would allow her to travel comfortably.

In critical moments, she could also provide food and medicine.

Most importantly, she couldn't bear to be apart from A-Shu.

Meeting her bright, sparkling eyes, Li Shuchen leaned in to kiss her lips: "As you wish."

As long as A-Huan's safety could be guaranteed, he was willing to comply with her wishes in all matters.

Qi Huan excitedly hooked her arms around his neck, kissing him again and again.

When things started to get a bit heated, she quickly stood up, picked up the ice bowl, and handed it to Li Shuchen, blinking her eyes sincerely: "Cool off."

Li Shuchen's eyes darkened slightly, his gaze moving with difficulty from her body to the ice bowl. He took it and began eating slowly.

After receiving his praise, Qi Huan said with a beaming smile, "I'll tell Xiu Yuan to arrange for the shops in various places to start selling it right away!"

"According to Xiu Yuan, our business assets are no less than Li Yuanxiu's now. Don't worry, A-Shu, I'll always support you!"

Seeing her proud little expression, Li Shuchen couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.

To have such a wife was his good fortune.

It was also the good fortune of the Li Country.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, under the scorching sun,

With the reinstated Weng Tingqiu left in charge of the country, Li Shuchen led an army of 100,000 troops on a personal campaign, marching grandly towards the battlefield.

On the way, Qi Huan obediently stayed in her space.

Taking advantage of the carriage's cover, she also called Li Shuchen inside, and the two traveled comfortably.

Worried about the soldiers getting heatstroke, she constantly provided green bean soup and Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

As points kept accumulating, the system suddenly said, "Good deed +1, points +10000."

?

Qi Huan was surprised.

"Is there someone among the soldiers who's worth more points than A-Shu?"

The system immediately denied: "No no no!"

"Speak human language."

"This system is not human."

"....." Qi Huan's mouth twitched, and she urged, "Quickly tell me what's going on so I can use this to earn more points!"

"In response to the host, Li Shuchen has regilded the Buddha statue in the temple in your name..."

"The Buddha's face is worth a lot, so it's plus ten thousand points."

"In addition, Li Shuchen has also ordered that on the host's birthday every year, alms will be distributed in front of the temple to accumulate merit for the host and pray for the Buddha's blessing for the host's peace and happiness."

After briefly explaining, the system hurriedly began to report the point-earning situation.

For every good deed done in the host's name, it diligently recorded it for the host, continuously adding points for her... and then incessantly asking the host if she wanted to spend the points.

Hehe, it was really quite clever.

Suddenly, it was mercilessly blocked by the heartless host again.

Being mature, it knew without thinking that the host and Li Shuchen must be kissing and kissing, and things were definitely progressing to ellipsis territory...

......

Inside the carriage.

After tidying up.

Li Shuchen lowered the seat, gently holding A-Huan on his body: "My darling has worked hard, rest well for a while."

Qi Huan softly responded with an "Mm," nestling against his warm chest, gradually starting to feel drowsy.

When she woke up, the system had already diligently reported 180,000 points for her.

"How much grain did A-Shu distribute?" She frowned, war still needs provisions...

"Don't worry, host, Li Shuchen's personal coffers are much richer than the national treasury. Besides, these points aren't all from almsgiving. Other Buddha statues were also gilded, successively completed today."

"This is probably Li Shuchen's birthday gift for the host, I'm so happy!"

"Host, would you like to consider celebrating another birthday according to the solar calendar?"

Qi Huan said exasperatedly, "The Li Country doesn't differentiate between solar and lunar calendars."

"Oh."

After a brief moment of disappointment, the system quickly perked up:

"Host, including your previous arrangements in various places, you now have a total of 234,007 points."

"Would you like to level up twice and get an eleventh-level system?"

"No."

"...You're heartless, you're cold, you've changed! Host, how can you treat your system like this?"

Amused by its plaintive tone, Qi Huan laughed heartily and said, "Don't be silly, I need to save the points to buy medicine."

"However, I can give you 100,000 points first. Hurry up and level up, I can't wait to see the level 10 little system."

The system froze for a moment.

Little system?

How did it end up on the same level as the little Lin, little Sheng, and little Gou in the palace?

"Host, please don't add 'little'."

"Or, host can call me big system!"

A cup of tea later.

The system said again, "Hello host, now it's the level 10 big system at your service."

"The function unlocked at level 10 is that this system can help you purchase all items from major shopping apps like Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD, Wei Pin Hui, etc., using the host's points, and deliver them to the host in the form of express delivery."

"Of course, there's a condition for proxy shopping..."
