The ministers nodded frantically in their hearts, thinking, "You are ridiculous, you are incompetent," but they still had to pretend to be terrified on their faces.
Qi Mingxiao: "Your Majesty, a child's lies are not to be taken seriously."
Zhang Yunqi: "The girl from the Jun family has always been outspoken. Your Majesty, there is no need to bother with her."
Tang Mingyuan: "Miss Jun has always been outspoken, but her heart is not bad. She still supports His Majesty."
At this time, those who stood up to speak for Jun Shutong were all people who were on good terms with the Jun family.
Even if the emperor vented his anger, he would not be really angry with Jun Shutong. Not to mention the Jun family's contribution to Dayu, even Jun Shutong's voice helped him solve several cases, not to mention saving his life.
But after today, the emperor seemed like a different person. Not only was he no longer late for the morning court, he also hadn't set foot in the palaces of several imperial concubines for a long time. It was even heard that he was dieting to lose weight.
Hearing this, Jun Shutong did not feel surprised. The enemy had already reached the border, and it would be strange if he did not change.
It has been more than two months since Jun Wansheng went to the border. Today we received good news that the Siamese army has been driven to fifty miles away from the Dayu border.
The number of Dayu's soldiers injured: 8,350, and the number of deaths: 17,532.
This was only the first confrontation, and the casualties were so heavy. Jun Shutong clenched his fists, and his angry eyes swept over the emperor and Fujiwara Haoji.
The emperor coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. Jun Shutong was in no mood to watch their performance. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started chatting with the system.
[I don’t know how my father is doing now? ]
Because we're worried about my dad, my mom and I haven't slept well lately. I even have insomnia.
Old man: But you took a nap on the way to court today. I didn’t see that you had insomnia.
The system consoles: [Don't worry, host. Your father is brave, resourceful, and skilled in martial arts. He'll be fine.]
[Look at the person on your left, that's Zhang Yu, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple. He hasn't slept well these past few days because of the visit from the Western Yue envoys. He's also been suffering from insomnia for several days.]
"The Western Yue envoys are here, so what's he worried about? They're not here to assassinate the emperor and steal the Holy Sword again, are they?"
He wasn't going to assassinate the emperor. He was worried that since he couldn't speak the language of Western Yue, he would be unable to communicate and the emperor would punish him.
Jun Shutong was curious: [What language is Xiyue? How can they communicate if they can't even understand what they're saying?]
The system pondered for a moment and said, "The language of Xiyue is similar to the English of Blue Star. Almost half of the countries on this continent speak English as their primary language. While they speak English, they also speak Dayu's language."
[Oh, and there's also the Vatican. More than half of the people there speak English.]
[Oh my god, this world has a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, but how come there's even English?]
She really suspected that this was a parallel world similar to Blue Planet.
Jun Shutong was even more puzzled: "But Dayu could have just asked for a teacher from Xiyue! Or a teacher from the Church or Tianzhu. If he had someone to teach him, wouldn't he have learned it over time?"
The emperor sent people to invite him, but he felt he was too noble to come, or else he made an exorbitant demand, demanding that Dayu give him a city in exchange.
【What? 】
[Learning English is like learning a piece of shit, and you have to exchange it for a city? ]
Jun Shutong was so shocked that he couldn't say anything. His baby voice made everyone's ears buzz.
[I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.]
[Isn't it just some broken English? Just wait, one day I'm going to unify this continent into the Chinese language.]
Ministers: Why is it the language of Huaxia? Shouldn't it be the language of Dayu?
The system continued: [Actually, there were people in Dayu Kingdom who could speak English before. However, since the death of the previous Minister of the Honglu Temple, no one has been able to speak it, and the only words they know are a few greetings.]
Zhang Yu, Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, was as depressed as his name.
Can you blame me for this? If my teacher hadn't died early, I wouldn't have learned only these two sentences.
[Besides, do you think learning English is easy? The entire Honglu Temple has studied it for decades and still hasn't grasped its mysteries.]
[Hmph, you little bitch who's sitting there talking without any pain in her back.]
Jun Shutong was eating melon seeds out of boredom and didn't notice that the ministers were looking at her with strange eyes.
She collected the spitted-out melon seed shells and put them into another pocket. When she was thirsty, she would drink a few sips of milk. Although she seemed to be idle, she was actually very busy.
[System, why do all the people on this continent have blond hair? The candlelight is so blinding.]
My mother's brown hair is more beautiful than the Lion King's hair color, and I think my unique black hair is the best hair color.
The system agrees: [I also think black looks good, black is elegant, black is not afraid of getting dirty, black is classic...]
Everyone was getting a little fed up: Weren't we just chatting in English? And now they're talking about hair?
Miss Jun's thinking is really unconventional.
The emperor was still thinking about the sentence "yellow hair dazzles the eyes".
He didn't think so before, but after this girl said that, when he looked at the tops of his ministers' heads again, he was really dazzled.
So much so that when the emperor was leaving the court, he suddenly said:
"Jun girl, this unique hair color looks great. Keep it that way and don't dye it."
Ministers: ...
Jun Shutong: [Did the emperor take the wrong medicine today? ]
[What's wrong with you? You're praising my hair for no reason?]
Old man: Fortunately, His Majesty has gone far away, otherwise he would definitely be angry.
