Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 164: Take the path of green tea and leave green tea with nowhere to go

[If you really don’t want to say it, I won’t…]

[Mrs. Shen comes from a scholarly family.] The system quickly interrupted Jiang Yueyang's words, [Her father is the dean of a college, and he has a wife and a concubine, with a son and two daughters, and Mrs. Shen is the only legitimate child.]

Jiang Yueyang frowned, [Little melon, your early preparations are really getting longer and longer.]

Emperor Yuan and others nodded in agreement, but it was also a unique experience, like listening to an opera in a theater.

Madam Shen still looked calm and composed, because she felt that with Censor Shen's melon in front of her, her green tea-flavored melon was nothing.

The system ignored Jiang Yueyang's muttering and continued: [When Madam Shen was still in the boudoir, she had always studied in the academy with her half brothers and half sisters.

One day, a handsome and well-educated scholar came to the academy. Mrs. Shen's concubine sister fell in love with the scholar at first sight, and Mrs. Shen also had a good impression of the scholar. 】

Censor Shen: !!! Didn’t Madam say that I was the first person she liked?

Madam Shen secretly glanced at Censor Shen, and seeing him looking at her with resentment, she couldn't help but look up at the sky guiltily.

Seeing Jiang Yueyang meditating, the system continued: [Once, Mrs. Shen was trapped in the school because of the rain and couldn't go home. Coincidentally, the scholar brought an umbrella, so he offered to take her home.

Her concubine sister heard this and said worriedly that Madam Shen was weak and would get sick from the strong wind and rain, so she asked the scholar to take her back to get Madam Shen a cloak and a hand warmer.

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's doubts became clearer and clearer, but she still asked uncertainly: [Little melon, Mrs. Shen's tea art could have been learned from her concubine sister, right? ]

[That's right, Madam Shen's concubine sister is a green tea, and Madam Shen has learned the art of tea from her and is even better than her teacher.]

Mrs. Shen: Are you praising me or disparaging me?

The Lady of the Duke of England looked calmly at Madam Shen next to Madam Bai, with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

She couldn’t imagine what Madam Shen looked like when she exuded the fragrance of tea!

Jiang Yueyang was a little excited to hear that Madam Shen was even more powerful than Jiazi Green Tea.

【Come on, tell me how they fought. 】

The system coughed twice heavily, [Mrs. Shen's father admired the scholar very much and wanted to marry his daughter to him.

So he called Mrs. Shen and her sister, said he wanted to marry one of them to the scholar, and asked them what they thought.

Mrs. Shen's half-sister said that Mrs. Shen was good-looking, good at studying, and a legitimate daughter, and was a perfect match for the scholar, so she asked the dean to marry Mrs. Shen to the scholar.

She also said that she was born out of wedlock and was not worthy of that scholar, so she should just find an honest man to marry in the future.

Upon seeing this, Madam Shen immediately started to cough violently as if she had tuberculosis, and said weakly that she was in poor health and no family would like a girl like her, so she asked the dean to marry her concubine to the scholar, and she would stay at home to fulfill her filial duty. 】

Mrs. Shen: ...You are the one who has tuberculosis!

Jiang Yueyang exclaimed: [Following the path of the green tea, leaving the green tea with nowhere to go, this move is amazing! ]

Over there, Emperor Yuan was still confused and couldn't help but turn his head and ask Xie Xu, "Do you understand?"

Xie Xu shook his head hesitantly, he didn’t understand!

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yuan looked at General Zhenguo again. General Zhenguo shook his head, seeming to really not understand.

Duke Ying couldn't bear to see it and explained: "The concubine's words are hinting to the dean that she has a bad family background. If she misses the scholar, she will not be able to marry a better person in the future. Madam Shen has a good family background and will not have trouble getting married.

Madam Shen used her own method to retaliate against the dean, hinting that she was in poor health and would be despised by others. If she missed the scholar, she would have to stay at home as an old maid in the future.

As soon as these words were spoken, those who could not understand the tea talk instantly understood.

I didn't expect that these ordinary words actually contained a mystery.

Someone asked in confusion: "Duke Ying, you don't have any concubines in your family who are jealous of each other. How do you know so much?"

"I don't have any concubines, but my father-in-law has eight. You'll understand after hearing this many times."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but look at Emperor Yuan. In terms of the number of concubines, Your Majesty was the leader.

But why doesn't Your Majesty understand?

Is it true that His Majesty has a problem with his brain, as Lord Xiao Jiang and that kid said?

Emperor Yuan felt uncomfortable being stared at, and immediately said unhappily: "What are you looking at? Go back to sleep when you are full!"

When everyone saw that Emperor Yuan was angry, they quickly looked away and lowered their heads.

The system's voice continued to come from the other side, [The dean was afraid that Madam Shen would not be able to get married in the future, so he immediately decided to marry Madam Shen to that scholar. ]

[Then how did Madam Shen end up marrying Censor Shen? ]

[Haha...] The system laughed, [Because the scholar was actually an ordinary man. After he learned that the dean intended to marry Madam Shen to him, his true nature gradually revealed itself.

His series of speeches made Mrs. Shen feel like she had eaten a pile of shit. That shit was so unpalatable... She would rather eat that drunk exhibitionist, Censor Shen. 】

Censor Shen: At the end, you want to stab me again, right?

Mrs. Shen: You scolded two people with just one sentence. You really know how to talk!

After the system finished speaking, the people present suddenly lost their appetite and put down the skewers in their hands.

A gust of cold wind blew, and everyone shivered subconsciously, suddenly realizing that it was getting late.

Just then, someone stood up and said, "My dear colleagues, I am old and can't stand the long night, so I will go home first."

Someone stood up and said, "I'll go home first."

Jiang Yueyang was worried about the two little guys, so she deliberately yawned to indicate that she wanted to go back and rest.

As soon as she left, the others saw that there were no more melons to eat and felt it was boring, so they left too.

Finally, only a few generals who loved drinking and the greedy fifth prince were left.

Jiang Yueyang returned to the inn, washed up, and went to bed to read a novel.

Unexpectedly, just after she lay down for a while, she heard voices coming from the next room.

"What did that girl Qingye say?"

When Jiang Yueyang heard Emperor Yuan's voice, she sat up abruptly. Before she could stick to the wall to eavesdrop, a "hush" sound came from next door.

Then, she couldn't hear anything.

I felt itchy when I couldn't hear her, so without saying a word, I bought a high-tech stethoscope-like device from the system mall and stuck it on the wall.

The Queen's voice came immediately, "Your daughter said it's up to you to decide."

"That means he likes her." Emperor Yuan changed the subject and said in a serious tone, "Empress, it's time for the Crown Prince to appoint a Crown Princess."
