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 406 What? Your Majesty is raising a son for someone else again?

At the next morning court, when the Left Prime Minister and Minister Jiang and others again mentioned the issue of reducing the number of monks in the Huguo Temple, Emperor Yuan agreed.

Civil and military officials shouted that His Majesty was wise and wise, and Jiang Yueyang followed suit.

But just as the Left Prime Minister stood up and was about to say something, Emperor Yuan spoke again: "The matter of reducing the number of monks in Huguo Temple will be handed over to Minister Xiao Jiang."

As soon as Emperor Yuan said this, the adults sitting in the front turned around and looked at Jiang Yueyang, and the same went for the people sitting in the back.

Jiang Yueyang blinked blankly. Who is Xiao Jiang Aiqing?

Hmm...it seems to be her...

She felt that His Majesty was seeking revenge for personal gain and was trying to piss her off by asking the Empress for help.

"My dear Xiao Jiang?"

Jiang Yueyang stepped out in response.

"I have high hopes for you. You must do a good job on this matter."

"...I obey your order. I also ask Your Majesty to let the Dali Temple assist me."

"Okay."

Afterwards, Li Fuquan brought down an imperial edict and handed it to Jiang Yueyang.

Jiang Yueyang took the imperial edict and sighed, "If I had known earlier, I would not have helped my father to find the Queen Mother."

The system took the opportunity to say: [Host, since the emperor is so petty, why don’t we eat his melon as well? ]

【Take his melon with you? 】

Emperor Yuan: ...Is it too late to take back my order now? Forget it, let's hurt each other!

The civil and military officials all lowered their heads and laughed secretly. It has happened so many times, why hasn't His Majesty learned his lesson?

The system explained: [He also has a share of that melon, but the protagonist is someone else.]

[Who is the protagonist? ] Jiang Yueyang asked.

【An Jieyu.】

Prince Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He gave Concubine An an explanation yesterday, but Concubine An was still dissatisfied.

However, he no longer paid attention.

Jiang Yueyang wanted to laugh when she thought of An Jieyu's face, and couldn't help but asked, "What is An Jieyu's melon?"

[An Jieyu is the mother of the Seventh Prince, but the Seventh Prince is not her son! ]

[What? Your Majesty is raising a son for someone else again? ] Jiang Yueyang was shocked.

Emperor Yuan was speechless. "Xiaogua, how did you know that I am raising a son for someone else again?"

No, Yuan Shuo is not An Jieyu’s son, but he may not be my son either.

Where did the child come from?

Am I raising a son for someone else again?

Don't do this, okay?

It can be fatal.

System: [...Host, you didn't understand the question clearly. I was talking about the Seventh Prince, not An Jieyu's son.]

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang realized that she had misheard and smiled embarrassedly, "You said this melon is related to His Majesty, so I only thought about His Majesty.

However, if the Seventh Prince is not Concubine An’s son, then he is not Your Majesty’s son, right?

If the Seventh Prince was the child of another Empress like the Eighth and Ninth Princes, you would not classify this as one thing. 】

[The host's analysis is correct, but the Seventh Prince is the Emperor's son.]

Upon hearing that the Seventh Prince was his own flesh and blood, Emperor Yuan was immediately relieved. He did not help others raise a son!

[What's going on? Who did your Majesty have the seventh prince with? ] Jiang Yueyang asked.

Emperor Yuan also wanted to know this question, so he pricked up his ears to listen, fearing that he might not hear clearly.

As soon as the Left Prime Minister saw the emperor's expression, he knew that he didn't know who the Seventh Prince was born to, and he couldn't help but frown.

Who did that kind of thing with, how could you forget it?

The King of Yan was thinking, what should his seventh brother do after he knows this? Will he be able to accept it?

The system replied: [An Jieyu has been unable to have children since her miscarriage, but Doctor Shi from the Imperial Hospital helped her conceal it.

But if the women in the harem do not have children, they are destined to never get ahead.

So, when the emperor went to her place one time, An Jieyu tried her best to get the emperor drunk, and then let the palace maid Meng Dong make love with the emperor on her behalf.

In order to increase the chance of pregnancy, An Jieyu also burned aphrodisiac incense in the palace. That night, the emperor had sex with Meng Dong many times.

Perhaps because she had done it so many times, Meng Dong successfully became pregnant with a dragon seed, and luckily it was a boy.

But whenever Concubine An thought of the night between Meng Dong and the emperor, she wished she could skin Meng Dong alive.

Therefore, whenever she was unhappy, she would take it out on Meng Dong. In order to prevent Meng Dong from telling others about it, she even poisoned Meng Dong to make him mute.

After hearing what the system said, Jiang Yueyang was in disbelief. [On such a passionate night, Your Majesty didn't even know who he was in love with? ]

【have no idea. 】

[Hehe~] Jiang Yueyang laughed sarcastically, [Your Majesty is such a pig.]

Emperor Yuan: “…”

I am also a victim...

British Duke: Well done!

System: [That’s it, call it a day! ]

【etc. 】

[Host, do you have any questions? ]

[I want to know why Doctor Shi from the Imperial Hospital wanted to help Concubine An? Are they having an affair?]

As soon as this question came up, Emperor Yuan became nervous again.

The eyes of the civil and military officials were gleaming with gossip. Today's news is quite exciting!

System: [No.]

Upon hearing that Concubine An did not cheat on Emperor Yuan, all the civil and military officials expressed regret, especially the Duke of Ying.

[Does Doctor Shi have something on Concubine An? Or did Concubine An bribe him with money?] Jiang Yueyang asked.

[Neither. The reason why Doctor Shi helped Concubine An was because Concubine An was his illegitimate daughter. Concubine An's mother had an affair with Doctor Shi and gave birth to him.]

Civil and military officials: It turns out that there is someone else who has been cuckolded.

Jiang Yueyang suddenly realized, [So that's how it is. ]

The gossip about An Jieyu officially ended here, and Jiang Yueyang and the system stopped talking.

The morning court proceeded in an orderly manner.

After more than two quarters of an hour, the morning court ended.

The Prince of Yan and the Prince of Qi left the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a hurry, while Jiang Yueyang took the initiative to find the Minister of Dali Temple.

"Sir Shen, I am going to the Huguo Temple right now. Are you free?"

Although Jiang Yueyang likes to give up, she will not procrastinate on things that she is destined to do.

The Dali Temple Minister replied, "I have some matters to attend to. Can you let Qin Shaoqing accompany Lord Xiao Jiang to the Huguo Temple?"

"OK."
