Chapter 39 What's the matter
Just two words, just two, to make Wei Zheliang question his life.
Wei Zheliang couldn't figure it out.
She, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, gave birth to a son.
Jinghan's voice was right next to his ears, but Wei Zheliang felt like he was dreaming.
[A man dressed as a woman and wanted to get married?!]
Wei Zheliang felt depressed, confused, and sad, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart.
Even if her son really had the nickname Longyang, she would not stop him. If her son did not want to get married, at most she would let him attract a girl at the party and give birth to his bloodline.
How could...how could he agree to such a ridiculous thing and hide it from his entire family? It's really heartbreaking!
But despite feeling heartbroken, Wei Zheliang still held on to a glimmer of hope in his heart, perhaps he had been deceived!
But the system's words completely extinguished the little hope she had left.
[Yes, at the beginning, he really didn't know that the man was a man dressed as a woman, but as their relationship deepened, the man begged in pain to sever ties with Wei Zheliang's son, and Wei Zheliang's son naturally didn't want to. So, the two hit it off and decided that the man would continue to dress as a woman and get married!]
[If they get married but can't have a baby, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?]
[The two planned to get married and then announce it to Wei Zheliang!]
[Hahaha, what a filial son! If Wei Zheliang knew about this, he would be so pissed off!]
Wei Zheliang felt a surge of anger in his heart, clenched his fists, and his teeth were grinding.
It was obvious that the fire was about to "burn Wei Zheliang to death", but she just couldn't let it out.
All the officials covered their mouths and could not laugh. Lord Wei was almost mad to death, and they could not make things worse.
But occasionally, some people can't hold it in and make a sound similar to a fart.
[Host, it's more than that. If they were in love with each other, it would be fine, because love has always been about both men and women. But that person doesn't like Wei Zheliang's son!]
"Puff~"
Wei Zheliang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed onto his chest. Then he shook his body and fell down again.
"Master Wei..."
The official behind Wei Zheliang exclaimed and quickly supported her before she fell.
Jing Chengji also looked worried.
"Lord Wei, you're not feeling well, why don't you rest? You're still attending the morning court. Doctor Zhang, please take a look at Lord Wei!"
What's going on? Wei Zheliang is terminally ill and bleeding!
Wei Zheliang faintly heard these words and spat out another mouthful of blood.
She thought that it would be better if she really had an incurable disease so that her unfilial son would not make her suffer the ridicule.
As Doctor Zhang took her pulse, her brows relaxed from tense to relaxed.
After a moment, she said to Jing Chengji.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. Lady Wei is feeling pent up, and spitting out this blood will actually benefit her."
"That's good. My dear, I'm really worried!"
Doctor Zhang gave Wei Zheliang another instruction.
"But Lord Wei, please don't do this in the future. If your mood is not smooth, you will easily develop a variety of illnesses. The saying that illness comes from the mind is not empty talk! You should relax your mind!"
"I understand. Thank you, Doctor Zhang!"
"How about I give Wei Aiqing a few days off so that he can take good care of himself?"
"I feel fine, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern!"
Wei Zheliang gritted his teeth.
It was not directed at Jing Chengji, but at her evil little son. No matter what, she had to listen to what the system said.
If the two of them just conspired to get married, at most it would be embarrassing for them, but it would not bring bad luck to her.
Could they have done something even more outrageous?!
Wei Zheliang didn't dare to think about it. As soon as he thought about it, he felt pain in his heart and his head became dizzy.
"Well, after the court session today, Lord Wei, go home and rest early. If you need anything, just ask for leave in advance."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
[Oh my, my mother is quite considerate of her subjects. I thought she was some capitalist, a scoundrel who exploited officials in every way!]
Jing Chengji was furious.
She didn't!
[Host, the key is that your mother actually exploits herself even more. She works 20 hours a day and rests for 4 hours, and those 4 hours also include coaxing the men in her harem. It's too hard!]
All the civil and military officials in the court were in tears. They had not worked as long as Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you have worked so hard!
Jing Chengji felt the gazes of his ministers and felt as if there were needles pricking his butt, and he could no longer sit still.
[Hiss~ My mom is such a ruthless person. She'll die young if she keeps pushing herself like this. No wonder she collapsed the moment she heard about my death in another timeline. It's because she's almost worn herself out from working herself! This won't do. I'm going to have to talk to my mom about changing her routine. Having a healthy schedule will allow her to work better. Otherwise, it's not worth it!]
Jing Chengji is so heartwarming, she is truly my good daughter. Only my daughter would feel sorry for me.
Unlike these people, they just say that I work hard, and then never advise me to take more rest or worry less, huh!
All the civil and military officials in the court: ???
[That's the truth. You should get at least 8 hours of sleep a day! However, these court hours have been around for thousands of years, so I'm afraid it's hard to change!]
"So what? Aren't all rules made by people? If you stick to them and ruin your health, no matter how many ambitions you have, you won't have time to realize them. What's the point? The court hours are too early, too. That needs to change. Skipping breakfast is so bad for your health!"
All the civil and military officials in the court were in tears again, because Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess cared about them.
Only Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess would consider them!
Such a good princess, may she live a long life!
Can they look forward to it?!
Jing Chengji: Just stick your butt out and I know what you want to fart, haha!
All the civil and military officials in the court said: Your Majesty, this is really an insult to society!
Jing Chengji: Then we won't change the hours. You guys will work the same amount of time as I do every day?!
All the civil and military officials in the court said: Your Majesty, please calm down. We were indeed talking nonsense. Your Majesty really understands us!
After going back and forth like this, the ministers wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They almost had to work overtime every day. What a close call.
Even the censor who loved to criticize others the most stopped. After all, if this matter was implemented, it would be beneficial to her.
She just likes to criticize people, but she is not a fool!
Besides, it is her duty as the censor to criticize others!
Jinghan thought, it’s better to do it today than to wait for another day, so let’s do it today.
Then Jinghan stepped out and said.
"Your Majesty, your daughter has a suggestion!"
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
"Your Majesty, I'm still young and can handle waking up at four or five every morning to attend court. However, Prime Minister Zhuge and the others are getting older and it's becoming difficult for them to bear this burden. I think if we could set the court session at eight in the morning and work from eight to five, leaving get off work early in the evening, I could leave the palace and observe the people's sentiments. The same goes for the adults!"
"It would be best if we implemented a five-day work and two-day rest system so you could have some time to rest. You are the emperor, but you don't have the time to do what you want. Your daughter is heartbroken to see you like this!"
As he spoke, Jinghan wiped away a tear.
Someone counted on his fingers and found that from 8 am to 5 pm, that means he works 9 hours a day, working five days and resting two days.
Isn't this a bad thing?
But he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
In the eyes of Jing Chengji and many officials, such an arrangement was ridiculous and even seemed a bit unprofessional, but they did feel warm in their hearts when they heard it.
Jing Chengji was feeling moved when he heard Jing Han's inner voice.
[From 8am to 5pm, a nine-hour shift, the entire day is gone. Oh, it's too hard for me to be lazy. I have to make this happen. I'm still young and growing. If I don't get ten hours of sleep a day, I'll feel uncomfortable all over!]
Jing Chengji withdrew his emotion with one click.
In fact, hearing Jinghan’s inner thoughts is not necessarily a good thing!
Day by day, she got angry several times.
Although the censor also wanted Jing Chengji and himself to relax a little, this was not the way to relax.
Jing Han didn't know that the Jing country's trolls were about to rush towards her.
