Nangong Jiu looked at the court officials.
The court officials looked at Nangong Jiu nervously, wondering what she was going to do.
Liu Xuan, Nangong Yunsheng and others looked at each other silently and watched from the sidelines.
Some court officials seemed to be so nervous that they were drooling.
Nangong Jiu laughed in his heart: "Hey, don't be nervous, you guys look so serious, you must be so tired.
Relax and unwind, today is guaranteed to be a good day.
How about this, whoever can tell me an interesting story that happened to him, I will reward him with an opportunity."
The princess wants to reward opportunities?
This is a good thing!
The last time the people donated disaster relief supplies, the princess rewarded them with opportunities.
I heard that there was a person who had good luck for a year, and from the second day onwards, good things started to come to his home.
If it's true, then it's just an interesting story, who wouldn't know how to do it?
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
A minister named He Shouzhi raised his hand and asked, "Princess, as long as it's interesting, there will be a reward, right?"
"right!"
"Then let me try!"
Nangong Jiu nodded and said, "Go ahead! Since you're the first one who dared to stand up, even if what you say isn't very interesting, I'll reward you."
"Thank you, Princess!" He Shouzhi thanked happily.
Hehe...isn't this simple?!
A few days ago, several friends gathered together for tea, and one of them told a joke.
When all the guests heard this, they burst into laughter.
I'll just borrow it for use.
Nangong Jiu just listened with a smile and said nothing.
He Shouzhi coughed lightly and began to narrate: "There is a neighbor in my hometown who worked hard for many years and finally passed the examination to become a scholar.
From then on, he had a very high opinion of himself and would comment on and make fun of everyone he met.
One day, my family elders invited several monks to perform a ritual. After the ritual was over, when I was seeing the monks off, I happened to run into my neighbor.
The neighbor was not pleased with the monk's appearance of being well-read and detached from the mundane world, so he started to mock him, "Excuse me, venerable monk, how do you write the word bald in bald donkey?"
A younger monk took one look at the complacent scholar and replied, "Just take the word 'xiu' (scholar) and slightly bend the buttocks, and then turn it around."
The scholar was stunned on the spot, and after a long while he ran away in shame. I couldn't even stop him.
After He Shouzhi finished speaking, the hall was silent for a moment. After a while, many court officials laughed out loud.
Nangong Jiu stood up with a smile: "Although what Lord He said was about something that happened to our neighbors, it is indeed quite interesting and educational.
I grant you a month of good luck as a reward for being the first to step forward.
Everyone, listen carefully. Talk about what happened to you. The rewards will get bigger and bigger."
As Nangong Jiu spoke, Xiao Wang pointed at He Shouzhi.
When the other ministers saw that He Shouzhi had really received the reward, they began to become interested.
If he can get a month of good luck, why can't I?
The princess said that the rewards will become bigger and bigger.
This is a great opportunity, and you would be foolish not to try it.
Another person stood up.
"Your servant Dong Wenjing is willing to give it a try."
Nangong Jiu nodded.
Dong Wenjing began to tell his own interesting story: "Not long ago, I went to a relative's house outside the city to attend a wedding banquet and drank a few more glasses.
On my way back to the city, I passed a cemetery and the carriage I was riding in somehow and inexplicably stopped in front of a very luxurious house.
I was invited in for tea by the owner, and it was a truly delightful evening...
When I woke up in the morning, I was shivering from the cold, and there was a grave beneath me. The carriage was gone, and I was so scared that I ran back like crazy.
"Haha...Mr. Dong, you are so lucky to have had such a good time!"
"Master Dong, could it be that you have encountered a fox spirit?"
The whole room burst into laughter.
Dong Wenjing added with a wry smile, "It was just a dream. I told it to make everyone laugh!"
Humph, you idiots, I made up a story I read in a book, and you actually believed it?
Nangong Jiu also smiled and said, "Master Dong, you have such an amazing adventure. Well done! I'll reward you with two months of good luck!"
After saying that, Xiao Wang pointed at Dong Wenjing again.
Now, the ministers began to reveal their own secrets and tell some of the stories they thought were interesting.
"Princess, something interesting happened in my family some time ago..."
"An interesting thing happened in my family..."
Nangong Jiu listened with great interest.
[Haha... In this way, you won't think that it's a bad thing for me to come to court, right?
Humph, you little brat, I can't handle you old foxes.
【Aren't you all just being nice and telling us your stories?】
Emperor Dongling wanted to laugh when he heard this.
These guys who are greedy for profit are usually as smart as monkeys, but today they were tricked by the little guy and didn't even realize it.
Oh, who cares about them? As long as Jiuer is happy, I will be happy to hear it anyway. Let them do whatever they want.
After listening to Emperor Dongling's thoughts, Nangong Jiu pursed his lips and smiled.
"Grandfather, let them talk. We won't lose anything. Once they've completely let down their guard, we'll hear more interesting things."
Emperor Dongling pinched the little man's hand to show that he understood.
Sure enough, not long after, a few people who had targeted the Yang family and done bad things in secret started to deviate from the normal topic while talking.
Some people exposed their own family scandals, some divulged information about their children's marriages, and some even revealed how they plotted against others.
When they realized what they had said, they were so nervous that they wanted to slap themselves in the face.
