Chapter 1067: Your Majesty
Ning Shu’s current goal was to become a mid-level task-taker. This way she’d be able to choose her own tasks and talk to the entrustor in order to better understand what the entrustor wanted and complete the task more effectively.
Most importantly, she’d even be able to negotiate. That’d be awesome!
It’d probably only take three more tasks for her to become a mid-level task-taker, so right now she was saving up all the points for that. It felt like she’d only get some speaking rights once she became a mid-level task-taker.
At the very least, she’d finally be able to choose which tasks she wanted to do.
“2333, let’s start the next task,” said Ning Shu to 2333. “You’d better not make me a man this time, I’m telling you……”
Before Ning Shu even finished her words, she felt a bout of dizziness. F*ck, 2333 this dumbass……
She could sense that her soul was currently merging with a body. A woman’s voice appeared next to her ear, but this woman’s voice seemed a bit coarse. “Your Majesty, it’s time to leave the bedroom.”
Ning Shu still wasn’t feeling well, but she abruptly opened her eyes when she heard the words ‘Your Majesty’ to quickly reach towards her crouch. Phew! Thank god. She was a woman.
Your Majesty!?
She was a female emperor!?
When the court lady saw that Ning Shu’s gaze seemed a little blank, she said, “Your Majesty, the court session will be starting soon.”
Ning Shu hadn’t received the storyline and was completely lost, but the woman next to her kept talking so she had no choice but to get up. Afterwards, a huge crowd of servants came in to help her get dressed.
A cup of water was raised to her lips, so Ning Shu lowered her head and took a gulp of it.
“Your Majesty, please gargle.” When the court lady nearby saw that Ning Shu had swallowed the water, she hastily spoke up.
Ning Shu: ……
Why didn’t you guys say so earlier that this was for gargling? Ning Shu calmly took another sip, then gargled with it. A maid held up the spittoon and Ning Shu spit out the water in her mouth.
These days really were luxurious. All she had to do was extend her hand for clothes and open her mouth for food.
The maids then helped comb Ning Shu’s hair into an extremely complicated hairstyle before stabbing it full of expensive hairpins. It was incomparably luxurious.
Ning Shu felt like she was about to sprain her neck. She didn’t really dare to move too much.
Under the escort of this crowd of people, Ning Shu, who was completely lost, ended up at court. A person next to her suddenly shouted, “Her Majesty the emperor has arrived! All hail the emperor!”
Ning Shu was started by the court lady’s voice, but she still forced herself to leisurely walk over to sit down on the throne. When she saw that so many people were kneeling in front of her, she got back up and said, “You may rise.”
The people kneeling below all got up. Ning Shu was about to sit back down, but she was taken aback when she saw that everyone present were women.
Could this be a kingdom of women?
Ning Shu coughed, then said, “Whatever it is, just state it. I…… We have a slight headache.”
Right after Ning Shu said this, a girl dressed in light green with a forehead pendant that made her look spirited and charming stepped forward. Her eyes were filled with concern for Ning Shu. “Imperial Mother, are you alright? Why does your head hurt?”
Imperial Mother!? Ning Shu looked that this young lady. She was probably around sixteen. The original host probably was quite old if she had a child this big.
Ning Shu didn’t know who this frickin’ was so she could only say, “It’s simply a lack of rest.”
The girl nodded.
“Imperial Mother, should we call for an imperial physician?” Asked another girl dressed in bright yellow.
Ning Shu’s head hadn’t actually been hurting before, but it was really starting to hurt now. She had no idea what was going on because she hadn’t received the storyline yet.
When the court lady saw that Ning Shu looked slightly annoyed, she hastily shouted, “Present your memorials now or withdraw from court!”
Ning Shu felt like her ears couldn’t handle much more of this court lady’s voice.
Fortunately these people were pretty tactful and didn’t say much before ending the court session. When they got back to the palace, Ning Shu said to the court lady, “We will be resting for a while. Don’t allow anyone in.”
“Understood.”
#comment: For the arc, since it’s a kingdom of women, emperors and princes are female while empresses and princesses are male. So I’ll drop hints here and there to remind that certain people are female, but generally, there’s an implied (female) in front of all the male terms and an implied (male) in front of all the female terms. Sorry for any confusion, but after glancing through the arc, I feel that using the male terms for the females in power is more appropriate.
