Chapter 244 A Couple Arrived First
Qi Kuan looked at the Third Prince's silly expression and couldn't bear to see his grandmother's reputation being dragged down too much.
Qi Kuan then stepped forward and said softly, "They probably want a legitimate reason to enter the Zongzheng Mansion."
The Third Prince suddenly realized the ill intentions of some people.
Damn you melon eaters!
Just eat melons! Why do you have to give me some government work?
If you sneak over here on weekdays to eat melons, will I report you? I will only provide snacks for you! I am so angry!
The Third Prince gritted his teeth and said, "How hateful! Will I force them to work together on government affairs?!"
Qi Kuan calmly responded, "Maybe in their eyes, yes, since we are already there, we might as well do some serious work. Besides, if we stay a few more days to handle government affairs, others won't have much to say."
The Third Prince fell silent.
Seeing that some court officials were still holding memorials, they were ready to take action.
The Third Prince said to Qi Kuan in a low voice with a bitter look on his face: "My dear son, is there any way to send the little imperial teacher away now?"
Qi Kuan smiled slightly: "No, Father."
Third Prince: Despair.
…
The Zongzhengfu was very large, and unlike ordinary government offices, it did not have its office located on the street.
Anyone who wants to come and do business must first pass the identity check of the guards at the door before they can see Zong Zhengli and start talking about their problems.
Yuan Ruan came over excitedly, but she had almost finished a fruit plate and didn't see what was going on here. Most people who came here just wanted to register their relatives in the royal family genealogy.
Yuanruan: [Tong'er, I don't think this is bloody, it's just boring.]
The Third Prince, who had just come in with a bunch of information about the identities of the rich and powerful, nodded repeatedly, wishing he could say loudly, "The Imperial Master is right. Why don't you go back first and take away these old guys who want to eat melons?"
System: [Did I misjudge the Third Prince?! This shouldn’t be the case…hiss, maybe the melon is not with the person who came.]
Yuanruan: [Then who is it? ]
The Minister of Revenue, who was calculating on his abacus, slowed down.
The rest of the court officials who had come on "government business" also pricked up their ears.
System: [Maybe it's on these ministers?! Look, three, four, five of them came today... Good guys, except for the Minister of Industry, all of them are here. How about taking a look at the melons on their bodies?]
Five Shang·Want to Eat Melon·Book:……
The Third Prince just couldn't help but burst out laughing "Hahahaha".
Yuan Ruan looked over in surprise, and saw the Third Prince holding his stomach and laughing, while patting the manuscript in his hand, as if he was very emotional and said: "This... is called stealing a chicken but losing the rice, hahahaha..."
The corner of Qi Kuan's mouth twitched slightly. Before Yuan Ruan became suspicious and was about to offend all five ministers, Qi Kuan slammed a large pile of bamboo slips on the table in front of the Third Prince with a "bang". The Third Prince was choked by the thick layer of dust and coughed repeatedly.
Qi Kuan said expressionlessly, "Father, it's time to get things done."
The Third Prince: ...You rebellious son!
Then he opened the bamboo slips and continued to read the information.
Yuan Ruan: [Suddenly burst into laughter, then suddenly fell silent and started working... Is the Third Prince okay? 】
System: [Aruan, do you think this scene looks familiar? It seems familiar.]
Yuan Ruan was stunned, and suddenly thought of himself as 007: [Right, right, right. It’s inevitable that workers won’t go crazy. ]
The system triggered memories, and Yuanruan immediately thought of the year-end bonus that she hadn't spent. She was in no mood to eat melons. She just wanted to fill the emptiness in her heart with delicious food.
She just kept eating and eating.
After a while, Yuanruan suddenly burped, and then burped heavily: [Not good, I ate too much, and I feel a little uncomfortable. ]
System: [Then vomit quickly, don’t hold it in. 】
The prince was a little anxious when he heard this. He stroked Yuanruan's back and said softly, "Are you overweight? How about eating something to help digestion..."
Before she could finish her words, Yuanruan turned her head and spit out milk like a fountain.
A man and a woman who just walked in were wet all over.
Crowd: …
Yuanruan was extremely embarrassed.
She quickly climbed down and offered a handkerchief to the man who was wiping his clothes, apologetically saying, "You guys, are you okay? It was me who was rude just now. I'll compensate you for the clothes..."
The young man was still quite angry: "What are you doing, kid..." Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly grabbed by the woman next to him.
Afterwards, the thin woman squatted down and bowed very devoutly, saying, "Hello, little imperial teacher. It is our blessing to see you today. You don't have to pay for the clothes."
When the young man heard that it was the Imperial Master, his expression changed instantly, and he said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! So it's the Imperial Master, my God, this is a blessing, this is the blessing for today..."
The young man talked for a long time, and finally concluded: "This dress is stained with your breath, there is no point in washing it, you must keep it at home as a souvenir."
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The system showed a stunned electronic expression: [Oh my god. He plans to keep it without washing it?! ]
Yuan's chubby face was full of panic, and he said hurriedly: "You have to pay for it and wash it."
Seeing that the man wanted to say something, she quickly took off a small string from her hand and handed it to the woman, "This is for you, keep this as a souvenir." Keep something serious as a souvenir.
The woman was stunned for a moment and did not move.
The prince said softly, "Master Mingqing, there is no need to be polite. Jiu'er is related to you. If she gave it to you, you should just accept it." At the same time, he glanced at the clothes and said, "Wash what needs to be washed."
County Lord Mingqing bowed quickly before accepting it.
Yuan Ruan was stunned when he heard the title of Mingqing County Lord, because County Lord was a title that could only be given to the daughter of a prince, marquis, or duke.
But this woman, although beautiful in appearance, did not wear any headdress or jewelry, and although her dress was beautiful, it was obviously not of the standard for a county lord.
The prince also noticed the details that Yuan Ruan noticed.
He frowned and spoke very tactfully: "Did you encounter any troubles when you came here today? Did someone rob you at home? Or did someone take advantage of the chaos and insult you?"
A flash of embarrassment flashed across the face of the county chief of Mingqing. He touched his hair and said dryly, "Thank you, Your Highness. Fortunately, no one bullied me. I just came here today to see my father."
The prince thought it was a little strange, but he kindly said, "Don't be so cautious. Your father only had some financial dealings with the Empress Dowager's relatives. Your father detained them all in the Zongzheng Mansion because he was worried that the news would leak out. They will be back in a few days."
County Lord Mingqing bowed again and expressed his gratitude.
After a pause, she suddenly said, "Your Highness, since there is nothing serious, I wonder if you can visit your father today."
"This..." The prince didn't want to disturb the host by making a scene, so he pointed at the Third Prince, Qi Kuan and the Third Prince who were working behind him, "Why not ask them?"
The Third Prince and his men had originally not intended to let anyone in.
At this time, the system: [Aruan, if you don’t see this county lord today, he may be gone in a few days.]
Yuanruan: [Ah? How do you say that?]
System: [Hey, Ah Ruan, do you still remember the classic play Romeo and Juliet? . ]
Yuanruan: [Hmm.]
The court officials gathered around silently, like sharks smelling blood.
What Romeo and Juliet?!
Can the system use some more popular allusions from Daxia?
