Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

"Important? Of course it is extremely important." Chen Lanyue tilted her head and almost fell on Ren Baozhi's shoulder again. Fortunately, Ren Baozhi dodged quickly and this guy almost succeeded.

Without her pillow, Chen Lanyue staggered a little, but she felt a little more energetic.

Ren Baozhi asked, "What is so important?"

Chen Lanyue stretched lazily. "How do you think I dressed up so meticulously today? I had to ask Yao Xia to do my hair in a bun, and find the right clothes, shoes, and socks. Not only that, I also had to match it with suitable jewelry, draw my eyebrows, burn incense, apply lip balm, and draw flowers... every step couldn't be missed."

Ren Baozhi never cared about her appearance. She felt her ears tired just listening to all these tedious steps. "How long will all this take?"

"It depends on the situation. Sometimes it's an hour, sometimes half an hour. Today I got up an hour early to prepare." As he spoke, Chen Lanyue covered his mouth and yawned again.

If I do the math, doesn't that mean I have to get up at 1 a.m.?

No wonder I'm so sleepy.

"Wouldn't it be tiring to dress like this every day?"

"What's so tiring about? As long as I become beautiful, I will be happy." As she said that, Chen Lanyue took out an exquisite small bronze mirror and looked at herself again and again.

Suddenly she was startled and frantically adjusted her hair, "Oh, it's been such a bumpy ride, my carefully combed bun is all messed up!"

Ren Baozhi came closer and looked left and right, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Until she saw Chen Lanyue bury a strand of hair that was slightly raised on her forehead into her bun.

Ren Baozhi touched her hair bun. Is it abnormal to have some loose hair?

It's really puzzling.

"Pickled radish, stop touching me. No matter how you dress up, you can never compare to me," Chen Lanyue said with a hint of disdain. "Help me see if my lip balm has faded a lot."

Ren Baozhi stared at it for a long time, but didn't feel that it had faded at all, so she shook her head.

"Impossible! You must be afraid that I'll outshine you, so you lied to me like this."

Chen Lanyue unscrewed the green ivory tube in her hand, inserted her little finger into the tube, tapped it lightly, and then began to apply lipstick in front of the mirror.

Ren Baozhi was full of black lines on her head: "No, sister, I'm already a pickled radish, how can I still outshine you?"

"I don't care. I'm a woman and I just want to outshine others. You're a woman too, so you must think so too." Chen Lanyue kept looking in the mirror, trying to find anything she was not satisfied with.

To be honest, Ren Baozhi felt a little distressed when she saw Chen Lanyue like this.

Through the mirror, Chen Lanyue seemed to see not herself, but a long-hated enemy.

She tried desperately to find the smallest flaws in her enemy and use them to attack and slander her. She pointed fingers at herself in the mirror, as if she had completely forgotten that the person in the mirror was herself.

The system sighed and said, "I used to love beauty like this too."

Ren Baozhi said: "It's not your fault. No woman is born so critical of her appearance. It's just the environment that makes her so obsessed with it."

You're right. Everyone around me at the time didn't treat me like a human being. They cut my body apart, examining whether my figure was plump, whether my face was smooth, whether my eyes were big enough, and whether my nose was straight enough... It was really hard for me not to care about their opinions.

'You've learned not to care by now, haven't you?'

[Well, it was "Female Voices" that taught me that every woman has her own look, and I like all of their different looks. I like your look, I like Ren Baozhi's look, and I like Chen Baozhi's look.]

Ren Baozhi smiled: "I like your appearance too, the appearance of the system or the soul."

[Hiss, so corny.]

'Who was the first to be disgusting?'

Although Ren Baozhi was talking to the system, his eyes were still on Chen Lanyue.

Chen Lanyue looked at Ren Baozhi's expression, which was sometimes melancholy, sometimes smiling, and sometimes angry. She stopped looking in the mirror and asked with a frown, "What's with that expression?"

Ren Baozhi stopped joking with the system and asked her, "Are you really happy?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy." Chen Lanyue answered as a matter of course.

"I think you're already very beautiful."

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Perhaps you could spend a little more time exploring your other strengths?"

"Thank you for your advice, but my mother said that beauty is my only advantage. Only a beautiful face can control a man." Chen Lanyue put away the mirror and said to Ren Baozhi, "Let's go."

Outside the carriage, the midday sun hung high above the West Market, which was arranged in the shape of a "well".

The opening drum of the West Market sounded, and shops opened their wooden doors and hung up signs, with a wide variety of goods displayed from the street to the end of the alley.

In the mule and horse market, the horses are strong and sturdy, their manes flying; in the sword and gun warehouse, the swords are cold and sharp, their icy light awe-inspiring; in the tomb bookstore, the volumes are vast and the fragrance of ink is everywhere; in the restaurant, the delicious food is fragrant, whetting one's appetite...

On the street, farmers carry baskets full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and golden and plump rice and wheat; acrobats walk on tightrope, drawing cheers; in front of the fortune-telling stall, an old woman counts with her fingers, making those who ask questions smile with joy.

On the way, they passed by a magical medicine shop run by a Hu merchant - Huichunhao, outside which were displayed many rare and precious herbs that the people of Wu Zhou had never seen before.

At this time, a group of Hu merchants stopped in front of the drugstore and were unloading the baskets and sacks from the camels' backs and delivering them to the store.

These Hu merchants were all women, each of them was tall and strong, with rough and dark skin, and some of them had scars on their bodies.

Ren Baozhi excitedly asked the system: "Ji Bao, someone is injured. Let's pick her up and rescue her. Can they be used by me in the future? It would be best if there is a grandmother with a hidden identity!"

The system explained to her: [Hu merchants traveling all the way to Chang'an likely had to cross snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and deserts. Scorching sun, sandstorms, and water and food shortages were common. They also frequently encountered bandits and wolves. Having some wounds on their bodies is perfectly normal.]

"Besides, look at their bodies, and then look at yours. Are you sure you're the one saving them, not them saving you?"

Ren Baozhi was so upset that she wanted to cry when she saw Chen Baozhi's skinny and small figure. "Give me back the tall figure my mother gave me!"

Since there were no adventures, Ren Baozhi didn't pay much attention to it.

When she looked away, she caught a glimpse of Yao Xia staring at the herbs, seeming to be quite interested.

Chen Lanyue took them all the way to Yuyan Shop. She said that the shop had some new skin care and beauty products, and she insisted on going to take a look.

Inside Yuyan Shop, the beautiful women in elegant clothes and the dazzling array of ancient cosmetics and skin care products amazed Ren Baozhi.

She was currently standing in the eyebrow makeup area, where the tools for drawing eyebrows included eyebrow stones, eyebrow pencils, and eyebrow inkstones...

According to the shop owner, these tools can be used to draw mandarin duck eyebrows, small mountain eyebrows, three-peak eyebrows, hanging pearl eyebrows, and split-end eyebrows...

Ren Baozhi had never heard such a thing before and felt overwhelmed, so she let the man go away so that she could have some peace and quiet.

But the man still refused to give up, saying, "Eyebrows are a woman's second face. Good eyebrows are like distant mountains, full of affection. Only such a woman can win the favor of gentlemen."

Ren Baozhi curled her lips: "Are you saying that I need to dress myself up beautifully and wait for the pigs to come and pick me?"

The man was surprised: "My dear lady, how can you compare me to a pig? How can I compare to a pig?"
