Genshin Impact: Zhongli discovered that he was stealing tributes at the beginning

Gently turn the hand of time back to one year ago.

"Last year in this gate today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The faces of the people don't know where to go, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."

A girl with purple hair tied into cat ears and twin tails was reciting and reading the words on the note hanging under the peach tree.

Looking at the somewhat yellowed note, the girl guessed that the note had been there for a while, but she remembered that she had not seen the note when she came here last year to enjoy the peach blossoms. She only found a person with an ordinary face that could not be remembered. The young man observed her happily not far away.

Well, the look in his eyes was a little lewd, he must be a resident living here. She didn't take it at heart and left after admiring the flowers.

The boy at that time was Wu Ye, who was fourteen years old. After the girl left, he took out a pen and paper and recorded:

Keqing, twenty-one years old, the eldest daughter of a prestigious noble family, is currently the Yuheng star among the seven stars in Liyue, and is responsible for managing land and construction.

The image is of a girl with cat ears and double ponytails, purple eyes, and deep purple diamond-shaped pupils, giving people a cold feeling.

The clothing is a very simple purple and white ancient costume style short skirt with separate sleeves and off-the-shoulder clothing, with peacock tail-like pattern embellishments.

The earlobes are decorated with blue and white gold and silver earrings, and the gold and silver are dotted with snow-white pearls. The neck ring is purple jade silk, the jade hands are wearing black and white gloves, and the waist is equipped with the eye of the thunder elemental god.

The slender and graceful legs on the lower body are wrapped in black pantyhose.

I don’t know her personality for the time being. After all, there may be some differences between reality and the game, but what is certain is that she works vigorously and resolutely. She is an out-and-out workaholic and disrespectful to God!

In summary, it is recommended to make friends with a beautiful girl who is both cute and sexy to facilitate your own development.

......

"What a poetic poem. It's much better than that written by Qing Zhou, who claims to be a great poet. Who wrote it? Is it him?"

(There is a commission called "Send this poem to this city" in the game, and you can find this poet NPC.)

Keqing thought in confusion, and the face of the young man in her mind flashed away.

Forget it, rather than thinking about this, Ke Qing needs to consider whether he should voluntarily resign from the position of Yu Hengxing.

Because she made an extremely bold move today!

Today is the annual invitation ceremony for immortals. Normally, Keqing, as one of the seven stars, happens to be hosting the ceremony this year.

At this time, she should be on Yujing Terrace, not here in Peach Blossom Lane.

Keqing was born into a noble family, and she had a deeper understanding than most of the influence that Emperor Yan Wang had on the people of Liyue.

Just like a cycle of reincarnation, every other year, after the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, great turmoil will occur in Liyue's business world.

The emperor's newly announced decision always makes some families happy and others sad. The poor hope to take this opportunity to make a fortune, while the rich pray that the change in wind direction will not affect their property.

Businessmen are more keen on faith-based investments than considering economic construction.

In today's Liyue, this choice is understandable.

The emperor's divine power is powerful, and you can rely on him to live and feed well.

Keqing has always had concerns about this: if one day the emperor no longer fulfills this responsibility, where will Liyue go?

The current prosperity of Liyue Port is like a magnificent sandcastle on the beach. It is not humans themselves who decide whether the sea will rise or not.

However, Keqing could not get the support of the majority, and even her relatives could not understand her.

In the eyes of others, a mortal's life is only a moment in the history of Liyue, so there is no need to worry about it.

Keqing believes that this lazy and cowardly idea denies the existence value of the entire human race.

With the feeling of hating that iron cannot be transformed into steel, she bravely chose to question-questioning the doting of the emperor, questioning the laziness of the people, and questioning the way society operates.

She always believed that things related to human destiny should be done by humans. And humans can certainly do better.

Finally, today at the ceremony of inviting immortals, she made a speech that made everyone think it was treasonous:

"The emperor has guarded Liyue for thousands of years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, or one hundred thousand years?"

Hearing these words, the emperor only laughed meaningfully.

Seeing that she didn't get a reply, Ke Qing left Yujing Terrace without looking back and came to Taohua Lane.

Because no one usually passes by here, not to mention that almost all the people in Liyue Port go to watch the immortal ceremony, so no one can see her ugly side.

Keqing leaned her back against the root of a tree, squatted on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, and buried her head. After a while, the sound of sobbing gradually came out.

"How are you?"

A voice came from the top of the head. Ke Qing raised her head and looked at the visitor. I felt pity for the pear blossoms with rain. The visitor was Wu Ye, who was fifteen years old at the time.

Keqing stood up, turned her back, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and asked:

"Why are you here? Today is the day to hold the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. It is the only time of the year when you can see the Emperor with your own eyes."

"Hmph, there's nothing interesting to see. It's just a golden dragon, and it's not the emperor's true form. Of course, it's not that I don't want to go. My grandpa has already gone to watch the fun. Mainly because it's inconvenient for me to go out and I have to wait for another year."

Wu Ye opened his hands and said indifferently.

"By the way, this is for you. Wipe your tears."

Wu Ye handed Keqing a yellow note filled with words. Keqing subconsciously took it, raised it in front of her face, and suddenly exclaimed:

"How do you know that the emperor is not his true self?! Also, isn't this a note hanging on the tree? There are poems written by others on it, how can you tear it down? This is wrong of you!!!"

Ke Qing came closer and stared at Wu Ye with a scrutinizing gaze.

Wu Ye looked at the beautiful face close at hand and smelled the girl's unique body fragrance, which was the floral fragrance of neon flowers. His face turned red and he hesitated to answer.

"I... I guess, who makes me unable to see, just... I can only talk nonsense to deceive myself."

Wu Ye coughed twice, calmed down, and continued: "I wrote this poem a few weeks ago, because it was the time when the peach blossoms were blooming most brilliantly, but the girl didn't come to enjoy the flowers, so... "

Wu Ye didn't say anything further. When he saw Ke Qing nodding, it seemed that the other party had been fooled by him.

good! Wu Ye compared himself secretly in his heart.

"So who is that girl?"

Seeing that Wu Ye suddenly stopped talking, Ke Qing quickly asked.

"And did you write this poem yourself?"

Seeing the girl's suspicious eyes, Wu Ye was very confused for a moment. Should he tell the truth?

If I had known earlier, I would have just pretended that I didn't hear or see anything and let her cry alone.

Great literati in ancient times, poets from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, please forgive me for stealing your works. I have reached the point where I am living an ignoble existence in a different world. I'm sorry!

Wu Ye thought to himself silently, and then replied righteously:

"Of course! I didn't think of it myself. I got it in a dream. In my dream, I traveled to a blue star called "Earth" to live.

I met many literary people there, and they told me all their experiences and works.

I still clearly remember that it was just to spread their masterpiece one day. "

"Is that so..."

Keqing seemed to have forgotten what happened on the Yujing Platform, and regained her previous strong mentality. She smiled and said, "Then can you tell me the meaning of this poem?"

"Yeah, sure." Wu Ye rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "The author of this poem is Cui Hu, a poet from the Tang Dynasty."

"Tang Dynasty? I have never heard of the name of this dynasty." Keqing couldn't help but interrupt, "Did you make this up too?".

"Ahem, what are you talking about! How could you make it up? I said I got it in a dream." Wu Ye pretended to be angry, "If you interrupt me like this again, then I'm leaving."

Wu Ye turned around and walked towards the yard, while Ke Qing pursed her lips.

"If you don't tell me, I will keep following you."

After saying that, the girl really followed the boy's footsteps.

"I didn't expect that the famous Lord Yu Hengxing never procrastinates in doing things on weekdays, but he also has a cheating side in private."

As they were about to reach the courtyard gate, Wu Ye couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Ke Qing fiercely, and sneered.

"Is that so? It depends on who the target is? For example, if you are facing someone who comforts a girl with an old piece of paper full of words written on it, you definitely cannot treat such an abnormal person with a normal attitude."

Ke Qing also stopped and did not look directly at Wu Ye. Instead, she put her hands behind her back and kicked the soil with one foot as if bored. Her eyebrows were crooked and her eyes were looking away.

hateful! It's so foul. How can this little girl Keqing be so cute? She's completely different from the one in the game.

Wu Ye thought to himself, is it because he is too handsome?

impossible! Wu Ye immediately rejected this possibility.

I look exactly like a passerby in a two-dimensional anime with almost zero presence.

Well, very good, this moment is definitely fake!

Ke Qing seemed to see something and interrupted Wu Ye's random thoughts.

"Okay, it's time for me to go. Spending time with you today made me relax a lot. You can tell me the meaning of this poem when we meet next time, and add your name by the way."

After saying that, Keqing turned and left.

"Hey! Miss Keqing, this poem is for you. Goodbye."

When the girl's light figure almost disappeared from the perspective, Wu Ye spoke loudly.

"Okay~ thank you, I will remember you."

A girl's ethereal voice came from the distance. Wu Ye stayed there for a long time before turning back and walking into the yard.

At this time, Grandpa Wu Yong just came back from watching the ceremony. He excitedly took Wu Ye's hand and said excitedly,

"Xiao Ye, the emperor has appeared! The emperor has appeared!"

Wu Ye helped his grandfather sit down on the steps in front of the door to avoid accidents.

"Grandpa, please speak slowly, I'm listening."

"I just made a wish and burned incense in Yiyan Palace, asking the Emperor to bless you. But the incense burned out in the blink of an eye, which means the Emperor agreed!"
