Chapter 129: Daydreaming about Ji Yingying
[Hehe...] Ji Yingying felt that if Xiangxiang had a physical body, she would definitely become a real princess.
"Lord Xiaoji"
"Lord Xiaoji"
As soon as she entered, passing ministers greeted her, and Ji Yingying smiled obsequiously all the way to her seat.
The Emperor arrived shortly afterward, and the morning court session began!
The Ministry of War then stepped forward and said that the envoy from Haixiang Kingdom would arrive in the capital tomorrow, urging the Emperor to make preparations quickly.
The Emperor immediately asked the Ministry of Rites, who only said that everything was ready and all that was left was to wait for Hai Xiangguo to arrive in the capital.
[Host, there's juicy gossip, juicy gossip about a scumbag.
[Speak quickly!]
A scholar has come to the residence of Minister Lu of the Ministry of Rites. He was entertained at the residence yesterday. The scholar is a member of Minister Lu's own family and is staying at Minister Lu's residence.
How did you know that?
[No, it was that student who saw Lord Lu off today, and that's when the Melon System happened to capture it.]
Okay, let's talk about that student.
With the imperial examinations approaching, it's normal for students to travel to the capital; in fact, even more are expected to arrive in the coming days.
I need to go back and discuss with Mu Kaiji about expanding the restaurant so that it can accommodate more guests and we can make some money along the way.
That scholar was a complete scoundrel. He brought a woman with him to the capital for the imperial examinations, claiming she was his wife. She took care of him the whole way, but once they arrived, he swindled her out of all her money and sent her back, telling her to wait for him until he passed the exams and he would return to marry her immediately.
Did that woman believe it?
[No news, and he hasn't even spent all the money he had. He's staying at our inn now. We don't know why, but that woman suddenly hates the scholar and is trying to get revenge. As for the scholar, he got the letter from the Lu family and is just staying there, but in reality, he's not a member of the Lu family at all.]
So, he stole the letter from a student of Lord Lu's family, then impersonated someone from Lord Lu's family, and then stayed at Lord Lu's house?
[Yes, and he's practically a traitor too. He moved in yesterday, and today he's already trying to seduce Lord Lu's daughter, thinking that even if he doesn't pass the exam, at least he'll have a powerful and influential in-law family.]
Is it possible to hook up with her?
[It's hard to say. If you can't hook up with him now, you'll eventually. These kinds of ordinary men are very cunning and have a lot of excuses. I estimate it won't be long before they succeed.]
What happened to the woman from the inn?
[I'm trying to find that student. Anyway, the hatred they evoke in me is extremely high, but I can't find out why.]
Now that you mention it, I'm actually interested in watching a show. I'll go check it out later.
[That's good. Let's see if this will increase my points. If it does, I'll probably level up soon.]
Besides this one, are there any other juicy stories?
Yes, the minister behind you on your left spent the whole afternoon playing with cucumbers yesterday.
What?! I work a long day at work, and he goes to play with cucumbers? This is infuriating!
[Host, she was also drugged and then played with. She hasn't pooped in the last two days. If we go later, that melon will probably still be coming out...]
[Wow, how did you do that? Math teacher: What's the process?]
[The process was this: he got drunk, was drugged, and then started playing around with that person; he was completely confused.]
The crowd didn't understand what it meant until the process was revealed. Everyone's faces turned as red as monkey bottoms, and the minister burst into tears.
"Your Majesty... Waaah... I beg Your Majesty to do me justice! That man invited me to dinner yesterday, and I had no idea such a thing would happen."
[Is this an admission? That's way too much! How dare they bring this up?]
I have to say, if he hadn't told anyone, he wouldn't have known. But if he had, he would have lost all face.
"Alright, go back and rest. Handle the matter yourself." The emperor spoke, and the minister then left with his tail between his legs.
The way he walked made Ji Yingying laugh out loud; it was so funny!
This melon looks good. Do you have any other melons?
As soon as Ji Yingying said this, all the ministers couldn't help but tuck their tails between their legs, afraid of being dragged out and whipped. To be humiliated like this in front of everyone was truly a disgrace.
But everyone wanted to know what was going on, and if they could find out about their arch-enemy, they would definitely use it to mock him.
Yes, there are plenty.
[That guy over there went to a brothel yesterday and bragged to the courtesan, saying he was a very close colleague of yours, that your official position was given to you by everyone, and even that when you grow up, he'll definitely take advantage of you.]
[Good heavens, you think I got this official position because everyone gave it to me? If you're so capable, why don't you tell everyone to stop giving me this position? Besides, who's his friend? My best friend is clearly the detective brother. And as for trying to seduce me, we'll see if he has the ability. Today after court, I'm going to ask him what color sack he likes, and then I'll beat him to death.]
[Okay, I agree to let you beat him up. He's just bragging, he's had a few too many drinks and he even told that courtesan a lot about things that happened in the imperial court.]
[There's a spy involved; he's definitely suspicious. Dig deep into his hideout, quickly.]
As soon as he heard that Ji Yingying was to be defiled, Ji Cailiang couldn't hold back anymore. He wanted to go up and beat them up, but he was stopped by the people behind him.
But his eyes could absolutely pierce a person. Not only him, but Mu Kaiji was the same, and the Emperor and the Crown Prince were also enduring it.
But Ji Yingying didn't take it seriously.
[We've found her. That courtesan is a spy from another country, a deeply embedded mole. If your emperor hadn't been busy killing people lately, she wouldn't have come out.]
Good heavens, this bastard's bragging has reached other countries!
[Host, he's fantasizing about you... fantasizing that you're his wife. Don't you realize how old he is? He's older than that detective!]
At this point, Ji Cailiang finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He took off his official hat, knelt down and placed it aside: "Your subject...is utterly loyal. If I am not allowed to vent my anger today, I will feel uneasy."
What did my dad do? Who messed with him? Find out quickly, I'll get him.
Then Mu Kaiji also stepped forward.
"I feel the same way!"
Then, the emperor waved his hand, seemingly agreeing.
The next second she saw her father and Mu Kaiji brutally beating up a court official.
[Oh dear~ This guy really messed with them, poor thing! Wow, this is great, Sun Wukong is causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, are my dad and brother planning to cause a ruckus in the Hall of Diligent Governance?]
Yes, yes, hit him! Hit him on the butt! He hurt his butt yesterday. Kick him, make him ache terribly!
Oh my, my good brother is quite something! And my dad, getting old, seems a bit frail, but he still has a lot of charisma.
【Hook him up, beat him up…】 Ji Yingying watched the show from the sidelines, while other ministers also watched, and some even sneaked up to deliver the finishing blow.
The minister kept shouting and begging for mercy, saying he wouldn't dare to do it again, but no one let him go.
Until the Emperor spoke up: "Alright, alright!"
The two of them then stopped.
