【What are you thinking? How could that be? Let's wait until the female official implements it. Who knows how many dirty tricks are involved behind the scenes?】
That's true. Regardless of the era, it's always best to be cautious, host.
I've always been very careful. Have you ever seen me not listen to instructions?
[You're making your parents angry.]
【You said they were my parents, and they're different from those old scoundrels. They genuinely care about me. If it were those three old scoundrels from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of War, I'd definitely find a remote courtyard to stay in. They probably wouldn't even remember I exist.】
[Indeed, these three families are truly...unbearable. It's inhuman. They have too many wives and concubines, too many children, and too much competition for resources. Even full siblings might fight over resources, let alone half-siblings...]
[It's good that you know, don't talk big. My goal isn't big, just to live, live well, and live a peaceful life. You know, what I initially thought was to spend the first half of my life peacefully at my parents' home, and then find a man I could easily control in the second half of my life, someone from a family without complicated relationships, have a child, and that would be it. Whether I'm rich or poor doesn't matter; I can't mistreat myself.]
It's really quite beautiful!
[Unfortunately, they've all become celebrities and officials thanks to the emperor.]
Emperor: ...With your abilities, what else would you be if not an official?
"Alright, then Mu Kaiji can go to the Dali Temple. You can also go to the Ministry of Justice to ask questions, but don't bully anyone."
"yes"
The two exchanged a glance, then snorted and turned back to their seats. Ji Yingying witnessed this scene.
I just found it hilarious: [I suddenly have a feeling that Lord Gongsun and the Minister of Justice are having an affair. Did you see the way they looked at each other just now? They seemed to dislike each other, yet they also seemed to love each other very much.]
Upon hearing this, the two men immediately felt goosebumps. It was terrifying. How could he possibly have an affair with this old scoundrel? This was slander, blatant slander.
[That seems to be true. There's something... going on between these two?]
[Haha, I can even ship couples while at work, so happy!]
[Host, the Minister of War and that other guy, the one before him is even more of a couple. When he was still the Right Vice Minister, the two of them often went drinking together. Minister Hong even touched his butt. But, host, don't spread rumors.]
Minister Hong looked at his hands in shock. What happened? He hadn't spread any rumors, not blatant rumors.
The man in front of him was none other than Minister He of the Ministry of Revenue. He and Minister Hong were indeed good friends, but they had never done what Ji Yingying was talking about.
I'm innocent!
Now they all realized how wronged they had been.
[I know, I'll just keep it to myself, I definitely won't spread rumors. I'm not a troublemaker, you know, Minister Hong was able to rise to power because Minister He strongly recommended him, after all, they have that kind of relationship!]
Minister Hong, Minister He: No, we have no relationship. Don't spread rumors. They have their pride.
What is the relationship?
[Are they best buddies?]
Goodness, I thought it was my dad and mom's relationship. But it's actually quite sweet; they argue all the time, then make up and go out for drinks. It's like they fight in bed and make up in bed!
[The six parts feel like a bit of a hodgepodge, if you hadn't pointed it out.]
[Haha, from now on, going to work won't just be about eating melon seeds, watching TV, and playing games anymore. We'll also be shipping couples and ghost ships! Hehe!]
What is a CP (couple pairing)?
What is another ghost ship?
[Host, you really know how to manage your finances!]
That's right, if you want life to be prosperous, then eat more melons and have more fun.
Ji Cailiang couldn't help but sigh. The little ingrate was indulging in daydreams again.
[Xiangxiang, what do you think about me having An Yi write a book about the love-hate relationship between Lord Gongsun and Minister He? The title could be: Forced Love: Lord Gongsun's Little Darling is a Powerful Minister.]
[Why isn't it the treacherous minister's legitimate husband who forces his love on her, but the aloof and powerful minister who dotes on her every day?]
Who are the treacherous officials, and who are the powerful ministers?
[Minister He is a powerful minister, while Lord Gongsun is a treacherous one; after all, in the world of novels, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is a figure who has killed countless people.]
[That seems to make sense, but let's not smear Lord Gongsun. I'm afraid he might do something rash, and it wouldn't be good if blood splattered in court later. Besides, your book title is too long; it won't pass the review.]
[Okay, okay~]
Those present were already stunned by the conversation between the two men. Although there were men, was it really okay to slander their reputation like this?
If word gets out later... won't they have any shame?
"emperor"
The four people who were falsely accused all came out and knelt down, their aggrieved expressions making them look as if they had been bullied.
Wow, I just thought of something even more interesting!
【What?】
A noble and aloof emperor wielding immense power versus a pitiful, weak, and incompetent imperial concubine and ministers.
The emperor, who was about to gossip, suddenly realized that he had also been slandered.
[That seems alright. Look at these four; they look like they're being bullied by the Emperor.]
"Minister Ji, stop thinking nonsense. That's all for today's morning court session. Hmm, my ministers, don't talk nonsense if there's nothing wrong."
"Yes," all the ministers knew they had been threatened. However, it was really funny. They had never thought there was anything wrong with it before, but after Ji Yingying said it today, it seemed like there really was such a thing.
As soon as I came out of the Hall of Diligent Governance, the King of Qi came looking for me.
"Ji San, it's been so long since I've seen you or spoken to you."
"You think you can make money just by talking to me?"
"May the King of Qi be well? May I ask what business the King of Qi has with me?"
"Do you have a moment? Could you... take my pulse?"
"Sure, let me see your hand." Ji Yingying took his pulse.
"Hmm, that's good. You can ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage, and you can bring your beloved home. That part is usable, but use it carefully. Don't use too much at once, and let it sit for a while." Ji Yingying said calmly.
King Qi blushed as red as a monkey's bottom!
He's so old, how can he still be so innocent?
Hmm, maybe he thinks you know he has someone he likes.
"Isn't love between men and women a normal thing?" Ji Yingying didn't understand him. Besides, Prince Qi was almost forty years old, how could he still be so naive?
[Ignore him, I'm going to find my detective brother. I have to congratulate him; he's gotten back to his old profession so quickly, and he's even the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review! That's a great position. But there are fewer and fewer positions in the court these days. The Imperial City Guard has investigated so many people; I bet they'll have to execute a bunch more before the New Year.]
They've all committed heinous crimes, do you feel sorry for them?
【I feel sorry for the common people~】 Ji Yingying walked out of the palace. When she passed a road, she actually saw a eunuch and a palace maid kissing!
shock!
There were eunuchs having sex with each other.
[I never expected this eunuch without tools to be so bold...]
