Chapter 376: Eating melon is worth it, but life is more important

The court officials were trembling with fear. Eating melon was worth it, but life was more important.

Just as they were about to leave, the system's voice rang out.

System: [Ah Ruan, you yawned again just now. Why don’t you go back and rest first? As for the Empress and the Emperor’s Love Melon, wait until you have a good sleep. I remember there will be a fire cage show in the evening. You can eat it slowly then? ]

The emperor's pupils shrank: ...

Wait, what about the news that's going to happen in the evening?!

At that time, there were more court officials attending the performance. Wouldn't this melon be exposed to more people?!

The emperor was rarely in a dilemma.

The empress looked at the emperor thoughtfully, and suddenly said to the eunuch beside the emperor, "Go and prepare some tea and preserved fruits to entertain the gentlemen."

The eldest eunuch was nervous: His Majesty wants to see the guests off, but the Empress wants to entertain them, what should he do?

The eunuch quickly stole a glance at the emperor, but found that the emperor did not show any displeasure. Instead, he said to the queen: "You are still more careful."

The eunuch was stunned. Didn't His Majesty want to send the guests away before?! Could he be mistaken?!

Although he was confused in his heart, Jian Ming reacted quickly on the surface. He even slapped himself in the face and said flatteringly: "It is my fault. I forgot your Majesty's instructions and neglected the adults. I will go now."

The chief eunuch walked out quickly.

The court officials all knew that the emperor had changed his mind at the last minute and that the empress was giving way to others, but each one was better at acting than the other and they all expressed their gratitude to the emperor for valuing his officials.

Led by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, the princesses tactfully asked the court officials to sit down and rest.

Soon, the court officials who were originally standing sat down at the desk.

The courtiers noticed the emperor's cold expression and looked at each other.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice suddenly had an idea. He took out the case from his arms, came to the Minister of Justice very seriously, and said with a bow: "Sir, I have a case that I cannot figure out, so I came to ask for your advice."

The Minister of Justice was stunned, but then he understood. The Vice Minister of Justice was telling the emperor that he wanted to concentrate on judging cases! He didn't want to eat melons!

He gave his subordinate a thumbs up, and then said loudly: "Okay. I will explain it to you carefully."

Other courtiers: !!!

What a solution!

After they understood each other's intention, they started to discuss recent political affairs.

Wu·No relevant government affairs in the near future·Will:……

The Minister of War slapped his head and said to them, "Didn't the little imperial teacher just say that the prize is the world map? You should discuss it carefully with me. Now that we have the map, where should we attack first?"

Military commanders:!!!

You deserve to be the boss!

The generals also started discussing in their own lanes. For a moment, the hall was filled with all kinds of high-sounding political terms. The discussion was in full swing, as if nothing was more important than politics.

The emperor's expression softened a little.

Yuanruan, who was enjoying the preserved fruits delivered by the princess, was stunned.

She couldn't help but complain: [Oh my god, today is Chinese New Year! But during the celebration and rest time, they are still discussing government affairs here, and the official from the Ministry of Justice is still reviewing the case. This is too much.]

The system nodded repeatedly: [It’s really good, Ah Ruan, tell me whether I should get the code. ]

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Let's talk about it after the New Year. Tong'er, keep going. I'm a little curious now. When did my brother fall in love with the empress? Is it the suspension bridge effect of the hero saving the beauty?]

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent for two seconds before continuing their performance.

The fourth princess and the fifth princess immediately leaned forward, but were then pulled back by the crown prince and the third prince like they were cats.

System: [Okay. But I feel that your brother is not suffering from the drawbridge effect, but is more likely attracted to the queen during their interactions.]

Yuanruan became more interested: [How do you say that? ]
