Chapter 239 Zhuangzi's Watermelon Has Beared Fruit
What a coward who loves to cause trouble!
Fang Yulan, witnessing this, could only think: This person has been spoiled rotten!
After everyone left, Yang Dani realized that she was covered in sweat and regretted why she had stopped Ji Yingying that morning.
Her official position doesn't affect her personal life!
But she was unwilling to accept it. Why should she? In the end, she went back inside.
After entering the palace, Ji Yingying went directly to the Hall of Diligent Governance, where the Crown Prince was in charge of governance, sitting on the dragon throne.
"Yingying, didn't I tell you yesterday that you should come to court today?"
"I would like to, but... I have a worried older sister who was concerned that I would be hungry if I went to court, so she left me at home."
The Crown Prince rolled his eyes. He had heard about the matter, but before he could make a decision, the Emperor sent Eunuch Cao to pick up the person.
"Minister Ji!" It was Ji Cailiang calling out, and Ji Yingying quickly returned to her place.
"Your subject is here!" It was rare for him to be addressed like this. Usually, he was an invisible man when he attended court. His purpose was probably to suppress Ji Yingying, but unfortunately, he was not as effective as Madam Ji.
But it's not bad either.
They've also done a good job with practical matters.
"Go back and give her a good talking-to about embroidering her wedding dress."
Yes~
Ji Yingying yawned, a thought echoing in her mind: [She doesn't want to marry an ordinary person; she wants to seduce a high-ranking official.]
"Which high-ranking official are you trying to seduce?" Ji Yingying asked rhetorically, looking extremely weak.
[Which high-ranking official? The Crown Prince? Prince Qi? If it were the Emperor, she probably wouldn't be picky; she wants to live the life of a wealthy person.]
I love money too, but thankfully, I'm living the life of a wealthy person now.
Ji Yingying sighed. She was living the life of the rich now!
What, you're broke and want to hook up with girls?
[Heh, what man am I supposed to flirt with? I can provide for him with anything I own.]
What if you don't have it?
My parents are outstanding. Even if I don't have memories of my past life, don't have a special dimension, and don't have you, I will still inherit their excellent genes. Just look at my two older brothers; they have such strong moral values.
Okay, that's true. No, your dad is blindly filial, and your mom couldn't stand up for herself before. Your family was just cannon fodder!
These words instantly brought back memories of the past. When she was born, her family was cannon fodder, a bloodsucker for her uncle's family. Life only got better after she was born, and her father passed the imperial examination and became an official.
Otherwise, they'd still be digging in the fields right now.
Don't bring up the past. I've never had a hard life since I was born, and I won't allow myself to suffer.
Are you kidding me?! Who is she? Someone with superpowers, would she let herself live a hard life?
Are the hardships of your past life not real hardships?
[In my past life, was my most difficult time just those 22 years of arduous study? I haven't even counted kindergarten, let alone my master's and doctoral studies. I started learning at age 3 and went through countless trials and tribulations. The hardest part was those three years of high school, which were truly years of hard study and relentless effort. I was practically hanging myself by my hair and pricking my thigh with an awl to stay awake. After high school, I thought I could finally catch my breath, but what did I get? I still had to deal with university, master's, doctoral studies, and so on.]
Thankfully, after graduation... well, what a disaster! Working is even worse. You're right, hard times are hard times, after all, you still have to serve the boss and the public!
[Host, you're a chosen one, a true beast of burden. Keep up the good work, host, and carry forward the spirit of the beast of burden.]
Are you crazy?!
[Hehe... Come on, let me share some juicy gossip to make me feel relevant.]
Let's have the biggest melon we have here, the one from the cow or horse.
【The Crown Prince?】
Crown Prince: Why is he the biggest ox or horse?
Yes, he went to the toilet several times yesterday because he ate the wrong thing. Later, we found out that his son, who is not even a year old, had secretly fed him something he shouldn't have, causing him to have diarrhea.
He forced himself to attend court today, even though his anus is still aching!
【Huh? What did you eat?】
[The Crown Princess prepared laxatives for the dog, but the clever boy thought it was sweet water and gave it to his father.]
Goodness, this child is barely a year old and already so smart. He'll definitely be incredibly intelligent when he grows up.
[Host, that's incredibly vulgar language!]
No, I didn't swear.
[Who said that? They're all incredibly intelligent.]
Oops, a slip of the tongue. I meant to praise him for being so smart, but I used the wrong word.
Crown Prince: ...He still has a sense of shame.
Her choice of words was inappropriate; who would believe her! Chun Chun was secretly taking revenge on the Crown Prince.
Today's morning court session was polarized, with one side clamoring for war and the other clamoring against it, since supplies and other provisions were scarce.
The noise made Ji Yingying unable to enjoy her melon in peace.
"Shut up. If you've fought, then fight; if you're not going to fight, then don't fight. Besides, what's the point of arguing? If you're so capable, go use your words on the battlefield and verbally kill someone."
Ji Yingying was truly helpless!
"What insightful opinion does Lord Ji have?"
"Is this a brilliant idea? Don't we have oil? We can't use that stuff anyway, so we can just dump it over there and burn it all."
[I talked so much last night, and we were still arguing this morning. Hmph, let's just make it a lose-lose situation, neither of us will get away with it.]
Ministers: Ouch! We've offended her. We need to be careful. We mustn't get caught, or we might really have to go to the battlefield.
"Lord Ji... never mind, let's just follow the Ministry of War's advice!"
Finally, someone compromised!
Why did this old man compromise? Wasn't he so adamant about not going to war?
【I don't know. Why don't you ask him? How about giving him an interview? Here, I'll authorize you with a press pass. Go and do the interview.】
[You're insane!]
You insulted me again, I'm not going to be friends with you anymore!
[Who insulted you? I called you a lunatic, and you're not allowed to?!]
No, you're not allowed to curse me in your heart. That's cursing me, and it will make me unhappy.
[Heh, I'm criticizing the Emperor, I'm criticizing the Crown Prince, what's it to you?]
She shut Xiangxiang up immediately, and the morning court session was almost over. Ji Yingying felt that she could go back soon, which was really nice.
"Young Master Ji, would you like to go and see His Majesty?" Minister Gong is truly elusive; she had clearly avoided him, but he still managed to catch up with her.
"Why are you looking at His Majesty? He's doing just fine, isn't he?"
"It's quite nice, but His Majesty is at the estate. Shall we go there?"
This feels like a big bad wolf trying to lure a little white rabbit! Ji Yingying avoided him with disgust!
"Uncle, you're such a rip-off! I don't really want to go with you. I have to go home."
"My dear niece, your uncle is not one to cheat you. I heard that the watermelons in the village have ripened. Would you like to go and see them?"
[This has that kind of excuse a scumbag uses to lure a young girl home: "Hey sis, my cat can do backflips!"]
You know what, I really do have that feeling.
“It really is a watermelon, the one you planted last year.”
It's almost June, and the watermelons seem to be growing normally. Ji Yingying is hesitating whether to go and take a look.
