Chapter 65: Born as a Holy Oxen and Horse

"But Lord Ge has made such great contributions, and it's really unfair for her to be just a Minister of Works. She deserves better! My mother is so stingy. She won't give it to me if I say no!"

Jing Han's complaints made Jing Chengji, who was just happy, retract his bared teeth instantly.

This rebellious girl.

How can she be stingy? She is very generous, okay?

Jing Chengji felt wronged, but couldn't say anything.

Fortunately, there is a system.

[Host, you've wronged your mother. In a few days, it will be Lord Ge's fiftieth birthday, and your mother is planning to confer the title of Marquis on him!]

Ge Da Wa:!!!

Jing Chengji: Good news, her injustice has been cleared. Bad news, the surprise she prepared is no longer a surprise!

All the civil and military officials in the court were envious and thought that this was what Ge Da Wa deserved!

[Oh no, I've wronged my mother. She's so generous, no wonder she's a wise ruler. Which other emperor would be so confident in granting a title of nobility to an official of a different surname?]

Jing Chengji: The last time I was so speechless was last time.

Jinghan finished saying all the good and bad things.

In fact, Jing Chengji was teased by Jing Han again.

Who doesn’t like to hear others praise him, even the emperor?

But praise from officials or others is often subtle.

Only Jinghan is always so straightforward when praising others, but the people being praised are always very happy.

Ge Da Wa looked at Jing Chengji with tears in her eyes.

Even though Ge Da Wa is fifty years old, her eyes are still clear and transparent, not clear and stupid.

But what is commendable is that after going through so much, she can still stick to her original intention.

Unlike some people, although they are young, the light in their eyes is not clear.

"But, Tongzi, I've never been to Yue County before. How could I tell my mother that Yue County has high-yield grains? Could I just say I had a dream and an old lady told me that? Who would believe me if I told anyone else that!"

Jing Chengji shouted silently: I believe it!

All the civil and military officials in the court shouted silently: We believe!

Palace ladies: Whatever His Highness says is right!

[Host, I'm just saying, it's not impossible! ]

The system looked at Grandma Guoyun who was happily smiling in its own system space and murmured.

[No, no, this looks so fake! ]

[Host, if you don't try, how do you know it won't work? You know, Jingguo has a deep faith in all kinds of gods!]

Jinghan was convinced.

If this were in another world, others would really think she was a fool.

But here, the imperial power is granted by heaven, so it is normal for gods to visit in dreams!

Jinghan bowed.

"Your Majesty, my daughter has something important to report!"

"Hmm? Go ahead."

"Last night, my daughter...I mean, I suggested the time of the appointment yesterday. Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts?"

Jing Chengji sat upright with a face full of questions.

"Is this all you want to tell me? Nothing else?"

"No, Your Majesty."

Jing Chengji refused to give up.

"There's really nothing else?!"

Jinghan shook his head decisively.

【Host, why don’t you say it! 】

I just thought about it and realized it's not appropriate to say this in public. I need to talk to my mother privately. We need to keep it secret. What if there are spies from the enemy country?

Everyone within a radius of thirty meters who could hear Jinghan's thoughts fell silent.

They didn't hear it, even though they were pretending, but they said they didn't hear it and that meant they didn't hear it.

Jing Chengji was satisfied, but also anxious. She winked and said.

"I hereby decree that from now on, the morning court session will be held at 9:00 PM, and one day off will be allowed every seven days. After the next session, the next day session will be held at 10:00 PM, and two days off will be allowed every ten days!"

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other.

Especially everyone was looking at the Prime Minister and others.

"Master Prime Minister, should we object?"

"You can object if you want, I won't!"

"Oh, I don't object then!"

The officials exchanged glances, and two seconds later, they shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Um!"

9am to 7pm, 10 hours a day, 6 days off a month. Not bad, much better than I imagined. Even though my mom is a capitalist, she's the best capitalist!

Although he didn't know what Capital meant, Jing Chengji was coaxed into happiness again.

The chief eunuch sang.

"If you have something to report, come forward. If not, leave the court!"

All the civil and military officials in the court bowed.

Jing Chengji then knew that the officials had nothing to report.

He stood up, waved his sleeves and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

According to convention, Zhuge Ming and several other right-hand men had to go to the imperial study to discuss matters with Jing Chengji.

Jinghan had been allowed to attend court a long time ago, so she wanted to go with him.

[Tongzi, yesterday I asked you to make an old cement recipe or something. Did you do it?]

[Host, it's done. I'll put it in your sleeve, and you just need to take it out!]

Zhuge Ming and others moved their legs even faster.

Jing Chengji was also waiting in the imperial study.

As Jing Han moved, Jing Chengji was just within the range of thirty meters.

Jing Chengji was restless and full of curiosity. He wondered if there were any other recipes besides the cement recipe.

Urgent! Urgent!

Zhuge Ming and his companions were walking and then they started running.

But Jinghan happened to be in front of them, and they couldn't get past Jinghan, so they had to be patient.

It felt like a century had passed for several people. When Jing Han was carried over the threshold of the imperial study by palace servants, they also met Jing Chengji one by one.

Jing Chengji hid his anxious expression and just smiled and told them not to pay any attention to him.

Jing Chengji was the first to praise.

"The memorial Han'er reviewed yesterday was very good. I would feel relieved even if I were to abdicate to you now."

"Mother, you are still healthy and in the prime of your life. Besides, there are many things your daughter doesn't understand. Mother must teach her well."

"Okay, okay."

[A wise ruler is born with the sacred body of an ox or horse. You should just be a good emperor!]

Jing Chengji: No, hehe!

Jing Chengji snorted unhappily.

[How come my mom, who was so happy just now, is unhappy now? Sigh, sometimes I can’t understand a woman’s heart!]

Jing Chengji: I feel bitter, but I don’t say it.

Zhuge Ming and the others found it funny, but they held it in.

"If you have something to tell me, you can tell me now."

"Mother, how do you know?"

Jinghan was suspicious.

"Hmph, you're my son's son. As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what kind of fart you want to let out!"

Jinghan:.......

Zhuge Ming and others:......

[Host, your mother really looks like you! No wonder they are mother and daughter!]

Jing Chengji: The opposite of Tiangang!

"Tongzi, you got it wrong. It's me and my mother who look alike. Luckily, my mother couldn't hear you. Otherwise, I'd drag you out and chop you into pieces. I wouldn't care!"

Jing Chengji was happy again and smiled.

"Why don't you just tell me now?"

"Mom, no, mother, I accidentally came across an old book, and guess what, it contains a lot of craftsmanship that happens to be what our Jing Kingdom needs!"

"Really?"

Jing Chengji was surprised.

Jing Han smiled and took out an old book with frayed edges from his sleeve pocket and presented it to Jing Chengji.

Zhuge Ming and others: You two are really good at pretending!
