Chapter 1 Shock! The grandson broke into grandfather's harem!
[Get up at three in the morning to attend court, the rubbish emperor doesn't care. ]
Xu Yanmiao put a steamed cake in her arms, walked into the court room against the wind, sat in the corner, and started to eat the cake.
By the way, she ate the gossip provided by the system.
[The Ancha Qianshi fished for fifteen days and didn't catch a single fish, hahahahaha, his fishing skills are too bad! ]
[The Minister of War has not bathed, showered, or changed his socks for seven days. Last night, he was finally kicked out of the room by his wife. It's rare that he endured it for seven days. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to endure it. 】
【Tsk tsk tsk, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites...】
"Ahem."
Xu Yanmiao raised his head and stood up respectfully: "I wonder what Minister Zheng wants to tell me?"
Minister Zheng Peng of the Ministry of Rites stroked his beard and smiled: "Xu Lang, where did you buy this steamed cake? It smells good."
"Oh, yes..." After
Xu Yanmiao finished talking about the cake, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites asked him if he had not slept well last night, and it seemed that there were dark circles under his eyes. After asking about the dark circles, he asked him if it was difficult to handle official business, and asked him why he was wearing so little today because it was cold. Was it because the servants at home neglected him...
From food and clothing to housing and transportation, from poetry and songs to life philosophy, when it was time to go to court, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites stroked his beard and said goodbye with a smile.
Xu Yanmiao sighed secretly.
[The Minister of Rites is actually a chatterbox? I don't even have time to read gossip because of all the chatter.]
[Forget it, let's go to court first.]
Xu Yanmiao looked forward and happened to see the Minister of Rites from behind. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he had encountered good things today. He walked with a breeze and his steps were much happier.
He also saw... the Minister of War looking at the Minister of Rites with resentment?
[Hiss——]
[Could it be that... the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War had a past where you loved me and I got married but I didn't know you loved me and you climbed to a high position just to give me a resentful look?]
"Bang——"
The Minister of Rites seemed to have accidentally stepped on his trousers and fell flat on his face.
Xu Yanmiao quickly put away those random thoughts and followed the other officials to care about the Minister of Rites who had fallen. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Minister of War standing at the farthest position, standing especially... deliberately?
[Is this... avoiding suspicion? There is something fishy going on here...]
The Minister of War suddenly raised his voice: "How are you, Mr. Zheng?"
The Minister of Rites immediately replied: "Yes, yes, thank you Brother Li for your concern!"
One smiled, and the other smiled too, full of hypocritical and polite concern between adults.
Xu Yanmiao secretly took a bite of the cake. His eyes lit up——
[The lotus root is broken but the thread is still connected! The lotus root is broken but the thread is still connected!]
Forgive him, sooner or later he will be dragged down to the Meridian Gate and
beheaded for cheating in the imperial examinations, and he can only spend his days watching gossips. Anyway, he will just complain about these things in his heart and will never tell anyone. It's not a big problem!
[I said they must have a past that they couldn't tell anyone about. Sure enough, when one of them fell, the other couldn't help but show concern!]
[Oh! His smile froze again. Did he realize that he had accidentally revealed his feelings and tried to make up for it?]
Xu Yanmiao munched on a biscuit and watched the Minister of War turn around and continue walking towards the door after greeting the Minister of Taichang Temple. His steps were sharp and his turn was crisp...
Xu Yanmiao stood on tiptoe, walked through the thick crowd and glanced at the back of the Minister of War, blinking lightly.
[Strange, why does it feel like the Minister of War is running away? Why is he still wiping his sweat?]
He certainly wouldn't take the little drama he was playing in his heart seriously. Those things were just things he did to amuse himself when he was bored.
[Could it be...]
Several people who passed by Xu Yanmiao tensed their bodies involuntarily.
[Did something happen in the court?]
Just as he finished thinking, Xu Yanmiao heard several soft gasps coming from beside him, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yanmiao stepped aside, his face full of confusion.
*
Xu Yanmiao is a time traveler.
He is a useless time traveler who is lazy and can only run a thousand meters in eight minutes.
As for the necessary skills for a time traveler, he doesn't know how to smelt iron and steel, rub gunpowder by hand, make cement, hot air balloons, steam engines... He doesn't know any of them.
The only lucky thing is that he has a system. Although it is useless and can only provide gossip, it is not in vain to be a time traveler with a golden finger. However, this system...
[Hello, hello, system, can you hear me?]
[Zizi... Zizi... System failure... Zizi...]
Today is also a day when I can't contact the system.
Xu Yanmiao turned off the system as usual, adjusted his official hat, lowered his head and followed the team to attend the court meeting.
The original body is seventeen years old this year. He is not a young genius. He took the imperial examination to gain experience and familiarize himself with the examination procedures. Who would have thought that there would be a flood that would not happen for a thousand years. More than a dozen counties suffered from the disaster. The old emperor was kind-hearted and allowed the candidates who were qualified to participate in the prefectural examination to be directly recommended to the imperial examination and wait until February of the following year to participate in the joint examination. The original body was one of them.
Because the failure rate of the imperial examination has reached 90% in the past ten years, the court has formulated a series of policies for failure in the imperial examination in order to develop the imperial examination and supply officials.
For example, those who failed the imperial examination can still enjoy the title of official, and those who failed the imperial examination can enter the Imperial College to study, and then they can choose to continue to participate in the imperial examination until they pass, or wait for the opportunity, and maybe they will have the opportunity to be assigned to various government departments to observe politics.
The original body...luck burst again. After entering the Imperial College, not long after, due to the shortage of personnel in the Ministry of Personnel, he was promoted to fill the official position and became the Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel (from the ninth rank).
- That is, he is responsible for collecting documents, registering miscellaneous matters, and assigning them to various departments for handling.
[For a small official like me, I don’t know what the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was crazy about this morning and came to chat with me. 】
A loud shout from the ceremonial officer above came: "Kneel—"
Xu Yanmiao knelt down with the others, and then
"Bow—"
and they bowed down too.
Guessing that it was the old emperor who had come out, Xu Yanmiao curiously raised his eyes to peek, but he could not see anything. There were so many people around him that he could only see the butt in front of him.
Xu Yanmiao subconsciously thought -
[What a curvy butt. Being an official is not only about the face, but also the butt? ] Seven
or eight coughs appeared on both sides of the quiet Yu's throat, as if they were bitten by saliva, and suddenly sounded.
"..."
On the golden platform, there was silence, and the eunuch announced the old emperor's decree: "The capital has been getting colder in recent days. Everyone should take care of your health and do not catch a cold." Then
there was another series of thanks and kneeling, thanking the old emperor for his concern.
Xu Yanmiao followed the others skillfully, and skillfully thought to herself: [Isn't it rumored that the old emperor has a bad temper and is moody? Those few coughs just now were just impoliteness, but you don’t care about them, you have a pretty good temper.】
On the side, Xu Yanmiao saw someone wiping sweat and was stunned.
【This... is the old emperor so scary?】
In the cold winter, is it scary to make people sweat?
The man who was wiping sweat was about to cry. Not only him, Xu Yanmiao found that the people around him either had sweat on their foreheads in the cold weather or were shivering slightly. The most exaggerated one was the guy on the right, whose tears were falling, as if he was going to die soon and would be taken out by the superiors.
Xu Yanmiao:?
At this moment, the man with tears falling whispered: "Xu Lang..."
Xu Yanmiao tried to smile and suppressed his voice: "Brother, what's the matter?"
The man sniffed: "I think... Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and you don't look old at all... What do you think?"
Xu Yanmiao:? ?
Xu Yanmiao continued to smile: "Yes. I think so too."
[Why are you talking about this suddenly? Is there a Jinyiwei spy around here? He wants to show his loyalty through the Jinyiwei? 】
【However, he is indeed worthy of being a person who can get into the court. He can really lie with his eyes open. The old emperor is sixty-three years old this year. I am afraid that he has a lot of white hair and wrinkles, but he can still say without blushing that
he doesn't look old at all...】 As soon as his thoughts were scattered, Xu Yanmiao quickly came back to his senses. He looked carefully and saw that his brother had covered his face and bowed to the ground, with the back of his hand against his forehead. It was impossible to tell whether he was still crying.
There was another strange silence on the golden platform.
After two or three breaths, the eunuch said: "The ceremony is over-"
"Stand up--"
All the officials stood up.
It was the action of standing up... Each one seemed to be done impatiently, and they were very anxious.
The old emperor began to discuss matters with all the officials.
——They are called officials, but in fact they are only second-rank officials. Officials below the second rank are not qualified to talk to the emperor on such occasions.
Matters are arranged one by one, and policies that affect the fate of the people of the world are born under this gate, either approval or veto...
They are in control of this country. They are ruling the people of the world.
And he can only stand in the huge crowd, listening to the content of the meeting, waiting for the documents that will be handed to him after he returns, and then running to all parts of the country without much body temperature left.
Thinking of this, Xu Yanmiao's heart was shaken.
[I don't know when I can become a big boss and rule the country and the people. ]
[I will work hard! ]
[I will fight! 】
Xu Yanmiao looked up at the clear sky and thought about getting up at three o'clock this morning and the wind...
【Hmm...】
【Forget it. A useless person like me should just lie down. I don't know when the old emperor will leave the court. I'm so hungry. Find something to kill time...】
【Let's go read the gossip——】
Xu Yanmiao opened the system excitedly and didn't see the terrified eyes of others.
【Wow, the emperor just got a sixteen-year-old noble yesterday! A pear blossom overshadows a crabapple tree! Old but still strong! And after being kept awake all night by the red waves, her voice can still be so passionate and powerful! Awesome! 】
【This noble was actually the concubine of Taisun, wow! Taisun also knows the literature of pinching waist and red eyes! 】
【Wow wow wow wow! The grandson broke into the grandfather's harem...hiss——he took advantage of the old emperor's court to have sex! Hurry up, hurry up! Why is there no video...】
【Eh? Why is there no sound? 】
Xu Yanmiao raised her head carefully and glanced around.
【What happened? Why are you kneeling on the ground? Where is the emperor? 】
The emperor went to the harem to catch the adulterer.
The court officials added in their hearts——
