Jun Wansheng and the emperor grew up together and graduated from the Royal Academy together.
Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Jun Wansheng was stationed at the border all year round, and the relationship between the two gradually became distant. Neither of them had forgotten their childhood friendship, but neither of them mentioned the past again.
The Jun family's achievements, power, and influence in the military, all of these made Emperor Shunde wary. He knew very well that the Jun family would not rebel, but he subconsciously suppressed the Jun family in secret.
Even if he doesn't care about state affairs, even if he is a playboy, he still doesn't want anyone to become too successful and threaten his rule. This is what a king is.
Some relationships are destined to be irreversible, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects has a natural gap.
Yesterday, Emperor Shunde appointed Jun Shutong as an assistant to the Imperial Observatory, a sinecure that required him to do nothing.
It was only because she solved the case of his cockfighting and found the whereabouts of the assassin that he reluctantly agreed to let her give it a try. As for the fact that the Queen had put Tang Yanran under house arrest, he didn't take it to heart at all.
In addition to the idle position in the Ministry of Justice, the little kid now has two positions.
The people who were most happy about Jun Shutong's inauguration were Zhang Yunqi, the Minister of Justice, Qi Mingxiao, the President of the Royal Academy and the Minister of Personnel, and Tang Mingyuan, the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Only they knew that Miss Jun was a truly capable person.
The other ministers who could hear the inner voices were skeptical about Jun Shutong's ability. The three bigwigs in the court all stood on the side of the Jun family, and the remaining few would not express any opinions even if they did not stand on the side.
Where there is support, there is opposition. The head of the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Koji, is one of the staunch opponents.
"Miss Jun only holds an idle position at the Imperial Observatory. She should retreat outside the main hall and wait. How can she stand here in the court? How can she be so disrespectful!"
"Your Majesty has the final say on where my granddaughter stands. It is not your turn to dictate."
Zhang Yunqi strode forward and said, "Ms. Jun is not only from the Imperial Observatory, but also from the Ministry of Justice. Why can't she stand in this court?"
Just as some of Fujiwara no Koji's followers were about to stand up and refute, they heard the eunuch shout, "Your Majesty has arrived."
Jun Shutong: [Isn't it said that the emperor rarely comes to court? How come he came to the morning court on my first day at work?]
System: [You are stupid! As a boss, when a new employee comes to the company, he will definitely come to inspect the work.]
Jun Shutong suddenly realized: [Then I must behave well. I can’t bring shame to my father and grandfather, and I can’t bring shame to the Jun family.]
Ministers: Look, this is someone else’s granddaughter. Then think about your own unfilial descendants. Well, it’s better not to think about them.
Jun Wansheng straightened his waist and stood up straight, with a smile on his face that stretched to his ears: [See? This is my daughter, Jun Wansheng. You don’t have her.]
The old man quietly moved away from his son.
Considering that Jun Shutong was too young, the emperor had her first time as a maid, so he ordered people to place a small stool next to her and assigned a palace maid to serve her personally. In the eyes of Emperor Shunde, the child could not stand the boredom and would clamor to go back after less than two hours.
The ministers were discussing state affairs, but Jun Shutong was completely uninterested. He sat aside and chatted with the system, looking at this and that.
The legendary court, now she can experience it personally, others stand while she sits, others are busy while she watches.
It’s very - comfortable.
[It turns out that attending court isn't that difficult. It's so dry. If only I had a handful of sunflower seeds.]
Emperor Shunde, who was sitting upstairs, felt mixed emotions when he saw the baby below, who was sitting with his legs crossed and holding a milk jug in his hand.
Seeing her so leisurely, the emperor regretted not agreeing to let her come to court earlier.
Jun Shutong: [System, I am also a member of the Imperial Observatory. Although it's a sinecure, I am still half of Mr. Huang's subordinate. Why doesn't he even look at me?]
[At least say hello to the younger generation. He's so rude.]
The system was silent for two seconds, then excitedly said, "We've found the host. Didn't you see that Mr. Huang looked quite distracted?"
His house was robbed last night. It was completely stolen. How could he care less about you, a non-staff member?
Ministers: Lord Huang's house was robbed? And the whole thing was stolen? When did this happen? Why is there no news at all?
No wonder he looks like he's dying today.
Huang Qi in front was very surprised: [Miss Jun's system actually knows all this? ]
You know, apart from him and that servant, no one else in the mansion knew about it.
Everyone pricked up their ears, and even the noise of discussion became much quieter. The ministers on the side even moved closer to the center.
Jun Wansheng was ecstatic: [Look, my daughter is really capable. If she were on the battlefield, standing in front of the enemy, wouldn't she know all their plans?]
He then dismissed the thought: "No, the battlefield is so dangerous, how can I let my daughter take such a risk? Absolutely not."
The old man was also shocked when he saw everyone's expressions. It turned out that other people could also hear his granddaughter's thoughts. Why was this?
Jun Shutong urged: [Tell me quickly, what exactly is going on? ]
System: [After Mr. Huang's wife died, wasn't he single for many years? Three years ago, he fell in love with a woman at first sight. The woman said that her father and brother disapproved of Mr. Huang's advanced age, so she secretly exchanged letters with him.]
[Unfortunately, this Mr. Huang is a love-sick man. He has his servants deliver letters to that woman every day and often gives her money. Yet, he has never even touched her hand.]
[Over time, the servant figured out Mr. Huang's background and yesterday took all the money from the Huang residence and ran away with the woman.]
What Mr. Huang didn't know was that the woman's encounter with him was a conspiracy devised by the two of them, with the goal of defrauding an old bachelor like him of his money.
