The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Unable to run, and unable to hide, this is exactly what Zhao Mianmian is in now.

Zhao Mianmian struggled several times, but ended in failure.

Then, amid the cheers of the audience in the live broadcast room, the annual Winter Solstice Banquet was once again welcomed.

This year's Winter Solstice Banquet will still be held in the palace.

The person who was busy taking care of everything was still Empress Dowager Xiao.

However, most of the young ladies from official families who competed for beauty at the Winter Solstice Banquet in the past two years have been engaged, so there are fewer familiar faces this year.

There were only a few women who were too old to get married and a bunch of immature kids, which made Empress Dowager Xiao so bored that she didn't even want to show her face.

He Xulan was also engaged, and her husband was Sun Zhongxiu, the second son of the Minister of Personnel whom Qi Qiu and the others had mentioned last time.

Originally, considering Sun Hongwen's official position, this marriage was considered too high for the He family, and the two families would have to argue for some time.

Who would have thought that with the blessing of the He family's ancestors, He Shiqian, a civil servant, could achieve some notable military achievements in the northwest.

When the news reached the capital, the Sun family smelled something unusual and immediately came with a betrothal gift, betrothing the He family's daughter to the emperor at lightning speed.

After receiving the betrothal gifts and setting a date, the two families were just waiting for He Xulan to marry into the family in the spring. The marriage would then be a done deal.

He Xulan's marriage was finalized, and the entire He family was overjoyed.

Only Zhao Mianmian had no interest at all, because she had only two things on her mind:

make money……

and escape.

However, a system prompt suddenly popped up on the public screen, leaving Zhao Mianmian stunned.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest [Fulfilling Han Rang's Wish]. Please confirm your participation within three days.]

Zhao Mianmian doesn’t know what side quests are, but that doesn’t mean her fans don’t understand.

The public screen of the live broadcast room suddenly exploded:

[Holy crap?! There's even a side quest! !]

[Awesome, the system is really good. I was saying a few days ago that if this continued, the streamer would be laid off, but today a side quest appeared.]

[We have to do it! I don't know what the reward is, but it's better than just sitting there and waiting to die.]

[No, you guys were only thinking about the mission rewards and didn't pay any attention to what the side missions were, right?]

[Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about the side quest. Let me take a look—

Fulfill Han Rang's... wish? ? 】

[Wait, Han Rang's wish? What the hell?]

Han Rang is a reincarnated alien. His purpose in living again is to avenge Su Zhengxuan's family who harmed him.

The system asked the host to help Han Rang realize his wish. Could it be that he wanted her to deal with the Su family...?

[She? To deal with the Su family?]

Haha, forget it, it’s good enough that she can live her life wisely.

If you still want to deal with the Su family, don’t lose both the wife and the army! 】

[Hahaha, it's just a side quest, don't take it so seriously.

The Winter Solstice Banquet will be in two days. Let the host find a way to test Han Rang's attitude first.

If she can't complete it, there's no loss. The system can't deduct her gold coins and levels for it. [dog head]]

[That's true, the system dog is a dog, but not that bad.]

Fans in the live broadcast room encouraged Zhao Mianmian to cause trouble.

Zhao Mianmian thought that it was just a side quest and would not affect the overall situation, so she clicked the confirm button without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, just as the mission was confirmed, the system popped up another prompt, which made Zhao Mianmian dumbfounded. She felt like she was on a pirate ship.

[Special reminder: This side quest is a level 3 gambling quest. After completing the quest, the anchor will receive a random talent.

If the mission fails, this system will randomly confiscate one talent.

Please be proactive and complete the task as soon as possible. 】

[This mission will last for 72 hours and will begin the countdown after the "beep" sound.]

【drop--】

Zhao Mianmian:

【(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻】

[No, if you can't complete it, your talent will be confiscated?]

[Not only is there a punishment, but there's also a 72-hour countdown? ? ]

【Why didn’t you say that just now? 】

[Is this a deliberate attempt to tease me? ? ]

Seeing Zhao Mianmian's defense break, the audience in the live broadcast room almost laughed crazy:

[Hahahaha, fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. It's good that they didn't say they would confiscate your gold coins.]

[That's right, it's just a talent. With your laid-back attitude, it makes no difference whether you have it or not.

If you really can't complete the side quest, just confiscate it [dog head]]

[Tsk tsk tsk, when it comes to dogs, it has to be the system!!]

[Host, tell us the truth, were you planning to slack off? ]

【Hahaha, that's good now. With the punishment mechanism, I have no choice but to work hard.】

[Bah! You're a bunch of people who just want to watch the fun and make trouble. The anchor is in such a state, and you're still gloating over his misfortune. Do you have any conscience? Do you have any conscience?!]

Come on, come on, you have a conscience, comfort her.

[Host, please be more positive. Now that things have come to this, why don't we think about the bright side...]

Zhao Mianmian:

【? 】

What's good about it?

The audience tried to comfort Zhao Mianmian:

[Anyway, I haven't drawn the height talent before, so no matter how much punishment I take, at least my height won't get any shorter! [dog head]]

Zhao Mianmian:

【(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻】

Barrage:

【Hahahaha, you didn’t let her go either! 】

【Hahahahaha】

***

Zhao Mianmian received a baffling side quest. In order to avoid wasting her talent, she had to follow Qin Shuyu to attend the Winter Solstice Banquet.

Originally, the invitation from the palace this year was also given to He Xulan, but He Xulan's wedding date was approaching, so it was not convenient for her to show up in public. So the only two people who could enter the palace were Qin Shuyu and Zhao Mianmian.

"Xu Lan is not here today, and Yu Mo Yu Pu and the others cannot enter the palace. You must stay here and don't run around."

“Remember to greet people when you meet them later, especially the ladies in the palace.

Don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t do what you shouldn’t do.

But don’t get into conflicts with others like in previous years.”

Along the way, Qin Shuyu gave Zhao Mianmian detailed instructions.

Although He Jianxing is no longer the same as before, he is still at the peak of his career thanks to the promotion of Zhang Qiuhe and Fan Xiang.

But compared with a group of royal relatives, noble ladies and noble ladies, the He family's foundation is still weaker.

Qin Shuyu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so naturally he hoped that Zhao Mianmian would keep a low profile and not be the first to stick out and bring unnecessary trouble to the He family.

“I heard that the palace specially invited a chef from outside to make new snacks today.

When the dish comes, don't start eating first. Look around and wait until the princesses and county lords pick up their chopsticks before you start eating."

Qin Shuyu thought about it and added two more sentences. The audience in the live broadcast room laughed at Zhao Mianmian again on the public screen [Hahahaha].

[Hahaha, host, your image as a foodie is so well-known that even Qin Shuyu couldn't help but remind you.]

[Look at what you're saying. Even though our eldest daughter likes snacks, she can still tell the difference between good and bad. When has she ever failed to behave herself in an important situation?

If you ask me, Qin Shuyu is just nitpicking, trying to intimidate us!

[Yeah, I think that's interesting too. Who would talk like that?]

[This is strange. Qin Shuyu wasn't like this before. Why has she become like this now?]

[Well, it’s all because of the previous incident with He Xulan, which also caused me to have prejudice in my heart.

After all, they are not my biological children, so how can I really treat them equally?

Zhao Mianmian knew her situation. She never expected Qin Shuyu to treat her like He Xulan, nor did she expect to get any emotional value from him.

Then, with his eyes curved, he continued with a smile as Qin Shuyu said:

"Okay, auntie, Mianmian understands."
