Chapter 557 Spring Festival Four Years Later

The Spring Festival four years later.

It was still dark when Yuanruan emerged from under the quilt, yawning.

The seven-year-old Yuanruan has skin as white as warm jade, slender limbs, and delicate and refined features on her palm-sized face.

However, when those watery eyes blinked over and he smiled, he still looked childish and cute.

Take Qi Yue for example. She looked at Yuan Ruan who was yawning now, and she was still soft-hearted. She treated him as a baby, and a little baby at that.

After Qi Yue came over, she took a handkerchief from the basin held by the palace maid and carefully wiped Yuan Ruan's face.

Then she whispered, "Why do you have to get up so early today?"

Yuan Ruan yawned and said, "Prince Hengshan finally returned to Beijing. I want to hear about the situation at the front."

Qi Yue listened to Yuan Ruan's baby voice and braided her hair while saying, "Yeah. But Xiao Jiu, don't worry. You can see that the Minister of War is always asking the Minister of Revenue for money. You can roughly guess that the situation on the front line is good."

Yuanruan laughed out loud when he heard this.

Recently, every time she goes to court, she can see a must-perform item.

——The Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue were at loggerheads.

It was not that the Minister of War cried out loudly, hoping that Your Majesty would urge the Minister of Revenue to replenish the baggage as soon as possible.

The Minister of Revenue loudly scolded the Minister of War for being shameless and actually sent people to block the door of the Ministry of Revenue. He ran away with the baggage as if he was choked.

The two quarreled like they were in a big drama, and each time they fought over money, the two of them used different tricks.

To be honest, the reason that has supported Yuan Ruan to occasionally get up early to attend court in recent years is to see what new fun they can come up with.

Yuan Ruan smiled and nodded: "Seventh sister is right. But I still want to go and listen."

——Mainly to see if there are any new related melons.

In the previous system, if we had attacked Chen or Shu first, we would have taken over at least half a country in four years. But now we attacked Chu first, and although the border troops had been reporting good news for four years, we still hadn't completely taken over a country. Yuan Ruan still felt a little uneasy.

…

Qi Yue was quick to notice Yuan Ruan's worry, so she said nothing more.

At this time, the palace maid came over with breakfast.

Qi Yue glanced at it and frowned, "A whole egg is hard to digest, so use a steamed egg instead. Also, tell the chef to chop up the meat and vegetable soup."

The palace maid was stunned and looked at Yuan Ruan.

Yuan Ruan was actually a little tired of the chopped food, but she didn't want to argue with Qi Yue, and she also liked being taken care of by Qi Yue, so she waved to the palace maid.

The palace maid bowed respectfully and took away the dishes and chopsticks.

Yuan Ruan finished the newly delivered breakfast and took Qi Yue to the morning court.

I forgot to mention that last year Daxia opened up the military examination, and Qi Yue won the first place in one fell swoop, and was awarded a military position that allowed him to attend court.

Now, there is only Qi Yue, a sixth-rank official in the court.

But in Daxia, there are already more than forty female officials below the sixth rank. And because of their existence, the custom of sending girls to school has become increasingly popular among the people of Daxia, and in the future, more and more women will enter officialdom.

Yuan Ruan and Qi Yue walked into the court one after another.

Soon, the emperor went to court and summoned Prince Hengshan to meet him and present him with an award.

King Hengshan stood in the center, holding a memorial, describing the hardships and struggles of the soldiers on the front line.

The writing style of King Hengshan is too old-fashioned, full of rhetoric and flattery.

This way of expression, with only one real message in ten flattering sentences, really makes Yuanruan feel confused.

She poked the system: [Tong'er, is there anyone who can summarize the gossip about the King of Hengshan? ]

System: [King Hengshan’s melons. Let me take a look... Ha, there are quite a lot, such as this... King Hengshan’s fake military order. ]

All the civil and military officials in the court, who were a little sleepy, were startled when they heard this.

Oh, so exciting?!

The first melon is the capital crime of killing?!
