Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Having come up with the idea, Xi Qiao would grind up the beauty pills and body-strengthening pills and mix them into the pastries for Yu Ying'er to eat every time he visited her.

In just one month, Yu Ying'er seemed to have become a completely different person. Her original beauty score of only three points had doubled to six points.

Her beauty is the kind of exquisite beauty; the lines of her eyebrows and eyes, the contours of her face, all exude a sense of meticulous craftsmanship and natural perfection, everything is just right.

But she was really clueless. Although she became much more cautious in her speech and actions under Xi Qiao's guidance, there was always a clear sense of stupidity in her eyes. Especially when she blinked her big, bright black eyes, her silly cuteness was overwhelming, making it hard for people to look at her directly.

Xi Qiao often has the feeling that she could be easily tricked by someone with a piece of candy.

Among the pills the system dropped was one called the Intelligence-Boosting Pill, which was said to improve intelligence. If it weren't for the restriction that it was only effective for children under seven, she would have loved to give all three of them to the girl.

It's infuriating!

That day, Chunmao noticed that the Empress Dowager was bored. She remembered the little lion dog she had seen when she and Xiqiao visited Yu Ying'er at the dog kennel. So she went up to her and said, "If Your Majesty is bored, why don't you have someone bring a cat or dog to amuse you?"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I think it's you lot who want to keep cats and dogs, isn't it? The other day, you all ran to the dog station whenever you had a spare moment, as if you thought I didn't know?"

Laughter filled the hall for a moment.

A glint of light flashed in Xi Qiao's eyes. Finally, someone brought this up!

She pursed her lips and stepped forward to apologize, feigning embarrassment. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was all my fault. My younger sister was assigned to work in the dog-raising department in February, so I went there more often."

The Empress Dowager wasn't really bothered by it; instead, she asked Yu Ying'er, "Why did you arrange for your sister to be put in the dog-raising area?"

Xi Qiao looked worried and hesitated before saying, "Your Majesty, you may not know this, but my sister is a bit rough around the edges and a bit dim-witted. The job at the dog-keeping station may sound bad, but it's actually a really easy and leisurely job. It's just right for her kind of personality."

The Empress Dowager chuckled and pointed at Xi Qiao, laughing and scolding, "Look at her, the older sister, how dare she belittle her own sister like this."

The servants inside the room also laughed, and some of them said a few funny things to cheer them on.

Xi Qiao's face fell, and he said mournfully, "This servant dares not utter a single lie before Your Majesty. My sister is truly... If you don't believe me, you can ask Chunmao and the others. They have also seen my sister."

Chunmao, Chunyan, and Chunyi all nodded in unison, indicating that she truly had not uttered a single lie.

The Empress Dowager's curiosity was piqued. "Are these sisters really so different?"

Chunrong had served by her side for a long time and was always intelligent and quick-witted. Even if her sister was half as good as her, she shouldn't be like that.

Chunmao suppressed a laugh and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't seen the sorrowful look on Chunrong's face every time she sees her sister. I've known her for over ten years and have never seen her so helpless and at a loss."

"Haha, now that you've said that, I'm even more curious. Go and call Chunrong over so I can take a look."

Yu Ying'er quickly carried a snow-white, flawless puppy into Shou Kang Palace.

"This servant greets Your Majesty the Empress Dowager. May Your Majesty be blessed."

The Empress Dowager called her to look up, and the face that came into view was like a meticulously painted picture, exquisite and beautiful in every way. The only flaw was that the eyes, despite the effort to restrain them, still revealed the owner's impetuous nature and lack of wisdom.

Her appearance was truly beautiful, delicate and pleasing to the eye, possessing a rare serene beauty. Yet, this palace maid also carried a lively and unruly air, as well as a dullness and lack of intelligence. These two contradictory and conflicting traits were strangely blended together, giving this palace maid a unique feel.

The Empress Dowager hadn't seen such an interesting person in a long time. She turned to look at Xi Qiao and said, "Your parents were fair to you two sisters. They gave you a bright mind and gave your sister beautiful features."

Although their appearances are very different, their eyebrows and eyes do have some similarities.

Yu Ying'er didn't understand the Empress Dowager's implied meaning. She only thought that the Empress Dowager was praising her for being beautiful, and she smiled with her eyes crinkling.

But he quickly suppressed his smile, curtsied to the Empress Dowager, and said earnestly and excitedly, "Your Majesty flatters me. My appearance is far inferior to that of my sisters."

My sister emphasized many times: Be humble!

Although she ate and slept well after entering the palace, she did indeed become much prettier than before.

But the palace was full of beauties of all kinds. Her sister even took her to see Consort Hua's beautiful face, which was far superior to her bland and tasteless appearance.

The people in Shou Kang Palace were all shrewd; how could they not see the joy and smugness in her eyes? Yet, her tone and expression were exceptionally sincere, as if she genuinely felt she wasn't pretty.

Empress Dowager Sun Zhuxi finally understood the feelings of Chunmao and the others.

This girl is really a bit...naive!
