Playing the Pig and Eating the Tiger: My Funny System is Too Fierce

"Miss, we have arrived at the palace gate." Xiao Cui's voice came from outside the carriage.

Su Qing straightened her dress and took a deep breath. Today was a big day. Not only would she be meeting the Queen Mother, but she would also be meeting the legendary male protagonist.

[Main Quest Opened: Flirt with the Prince]

[Current Favorability: 0]

[Target Favorability: 100]

"System, can you be more serious?"

[Isn't this serious enough? Look at your reward:]

[Task Reward 1: Obtain the "Perfect Personality" skill]

[Task Reward 2: Unlock the "Cute Emoji Pack"]

[Special note: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recently been studying Sun Tzu's Art of War. Those who understand will understand...]

Su Qing's eyes lit up. The military notes she reviewed last night suddenly became useful!

"Please get out of the car, young lady." The palace maid opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

Su Qing gracefully got off the carriage and followed the maid leading the way to the Queen Mother's bedroom. Along the way, she secretly memorized the route and took in her surroundings.

[Ding! New mission triggered]

[Mission Objective: "Meet" the Prince on the road]

[Completion Reward: Gain the "Impromptu Performance" skill]

[Tips: Someone is coming around the corner...]

Su Qing: ...System, is it really okay for you to be so naughty?

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a young man in a bright yellow dragon robe approaching from the corner ahead. With his aura and good looks, she knew who he was without the system's reminder.

[Protagonist Halo Warning! ]

[His Royal Highness's Handsomeness: 100]

【High Cold Value: 999】

Current mood: Irritable

[Tips: He was just urged to get married by the Queen Mother]

Su Qing: ...How can your system detect other people’s moods?

【Isn’t this for your benefit? 】

[New Task: Make the Prince Laugh When He’s in a Bad Mood]

[Reward: Favorability +10]

Just when Su Qing was thinking about whether to pretend to accidentally bump into it, a scream suddenly came from the front.

The tea tray in the hands of a young eunuch lost its balance, and a cup of hot tea flew straight towards the prince!

"Be careful!" Su Qing shouted subconsciously.

[Ding! Trigger skill: Perfect Mistake]

[Additional Effect: Agility]

In a flash, Su Qing rushed forward and raised her hand to catch the teacup. But... this posture...

She stood in front of the prince in a very standard military posture, holding a teacup in her hand, and her movements were so neat that she didn't look like a lady at all.

There was silence.

[Scene awkwardness: MAX]

[It is recommended to enable the Lotus Flower skill]

Su Qing coughed and bowed gracefully: "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Would you like a sip of this cup of tea?"

Mo Yunchen: "......"

This was the first time he saw a girl serve him tea in this way.

"Are you General Su's daughter?" he asked indifferently.

"Yes." Su Qing smiled gently. "I, your humble servant Su Qing, wonder if Your Highness has ever heard of the saying 'Warfare is the art of deception'?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Yunchen's eyes: "You know the art of war?"

"I know a thing or two." Su Qing said seriously, holding the teacup. "For example, right now, I am using this cup of tea to demonstrate a perfect 'odd and normal coexistence'. The normal one is to serve tea in a dignified and generous manner; the strange one is to serve tea in this way."

Mo Yunchen: "......"

[Ding! The Crown Prince's mouth curls up slightly.]

【Favorability +1】

[It seems that he likes women who are good at speaking]

"That's interesting." Mo Yunchen took the teacup, "But your posture looks like it was trained in the military camp."

"Your Highness, you're joking," Su Qing blinked. "I'm demonstrating the tactic of 'surprise'. Look, who would have thought that a lady from a noble family would serve tea in this way?"

This time, Mo Yunchen really laughed: "Interesting."

[Ding! Favorability +5]

[New Task: Keep going and try to make him laugh again]

At this moment, a majestic voice came: "Yun Chen, I found you!"

The person who spoke was a graceful and elegant old lady, who was the empress dowager of the time.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager!" Su Qing immediately saluted.

"Get up," the Queen Mother said kindly, "Is this General Su's daughter? She's truly a beauty."

Su Qing pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment."

"I heard you had a serious illness. Are you feeling better now?"

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine now."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and turned to Mo Yunchen: "Yunchen, what do you think of this girl?"

Mo Yunchen: "......"

[Ding! Awkward alert!]

[Prince's current status: Don't want to answer]

【It is recommended to change the topic immediately】

Su Qing suddenly had an idea and covered her chest with her hands, revealing a weak expression: "My Lady, I am a humble woman..."

"What's wrong?" the Queen Mother asked with concern.

"I feel a little dizzy..." Su Qing said, her body tilted.

Mo Yunchen subconsciously reached out to support her.

[Ding! Physical contact!]

【Favorability +3】

[Warning: Please don't go too far, otherwise it will cause your favorability to be reduced]

"Are you okay?" Mo Yunchen asked.

Su Qing shook her head weakly: "Maybe... I used too much force just now."

The Queen Mother then remembered what had happened: "Yes, yes, you just recovered from your illness, you can't be too tired. Yun Chen, help her go to the side hall to rest."

Mo Yunchen: "......"

[Ding! An unexpected reward!]

【The prince gets a chance to be alone√】

[Tips: Don’t get too complacent, the real fun is just beginning]

At the Queen Mother's signal, Mo Yunchen had no choice but to help Su Qing walk to the side hall. On the way, he suddenly said, "Are you demonstrating the 'show of weakness' tactic?"

Su Qing almost choked on her own saliva: "Your Highness...are you kidding?"

"Does this palace look like someone who can joke?"

"That's not likely," Su Qing said seriously, "but His Highness clearly smiled twice just now."

Mo Yunchen: "......"

[Ding! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is choking.]

【It is recommended to pursue victory】

"Since Your Highness is interested in military strategy," Su Qing continued, "I'd like to ask, what do you think of the saying 'Winning the heart is the best strategy'?"

Mo Yunchen raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to say?"

"I'm thinking," Su Qing blinked, "if we can win the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't that be the perfect tactic?"

As soon as she said that, she saw the tips of Mo Yunchen's ears turn slightly red.

[Ding! Critical moment!]

[Prince's Shyness Value: +999]

[It is recommended to get off the stairs immediately, otherwise it will cause disgust]

Su Qing immediately added, "Of course, this is just my humble opinion on military strategy. If it offends you, Your Highness, please forgive me."

Mo Yunchen was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "You are... quite interesting."

[Ding! Favorability +10]

[Current Favorability: 19]

【Evaluation: Good start, keep it up】

Arriving at the side hall, Mo Yunchen asked the maid to bring some ginseng tea: "Have a good rest. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Your Highness, take care." Su Qing bowed.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after Mo Yunchen left.

[Mission completion: 95%]

[Comment: Well done, especially the last line, "Winning the heart is the most important," which is a stroke of genius.]

[Suggestion: Be more proactive next time]

Su Qing: ...Why does your system act like an old mother?

[Is this called an assist? ]

[Tips: The Crown Prince will be at the military camp tonight to oversee drills. Those who understand will understand...]

Su Qing: ???

So you're hinting at me to go and stake out?

【System Silence.jpg】

Well, this system is not only naughty, but also very cute.

But... now that we know the prince's whereabouts, why not...

A smile appeared on Su Qing's lips.

It seems that she needs to plan carefully for tomorrow's 'chance encounter'.
