The Minister of Works was even happier, his grin stretching almost to his ears. "Lord Yu, look at those dark circles under your eyes! You were yawning all the time just now. Didn't you sleep well last night? Hahaha!"
The Minister of Works was a man of good temper, and Lord Yu, his face flushed, declared, "A scholar should not argue with a petty person over a matter of words!"
He angrily flicked his sleeves and retreated to his seat.
A petty person?
Who are you calling a villain!
The Minister of Works got stubborn and wanted to argue, but after seeing the Minister of Revenue's pathetic state, he decided against it. This fellow was already quite angry about his family affairs, and with his own skills, if he said a few more words to him, he would probably be driven to his death!
Although my friend has a sharp tongue, I'm a magnanimous person and won't hold it against him.
However, at that moment, a terrible stench spread from above the main hall. Everyone wanted to cover their noses but dared not, wondering if it was the emperor.
Then a loud cry rang out. The little princess in Chuanwen's arms was crying from the stench, and Chuanwen's face twisted in disgust.
【She, she, she, she—】
What's wrong with her?
The emperor and crown prince covered their noses and looked in the direction of the message, while the officials held their breath and listened intently.
She pooped all over me!!!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then—
Pfft, hahaha
The emperor and the crown prince were the most unscrupulous. After summoning the wet nurse to take the little princess away, they saw Chuanwen covered in yellow stuff and quickly covered their mouths in disgust.
Previously, the little princess was always wrapped in swaddling clothes. These past few days, winter has arrived, and charcoal fires have been lit in the main hall to keep the little princess from getting too hot. In addition, Consort Shu made a new outfit for the little princess, which she wanted to show off. So, the little princess put on her new clothes, and Chuanwen had to go change.
[In the main hall—before the emperor and all the officials saw me—I was covered in excrement and urine!!!]
Don't I have any pride?!
If possible, Chuanwen really wanted to run over and give the emperor a big hug. The emperor, who was covering his nose in disgust, met Chuanwen's gaze and quickly retreated. "I have my pride too! Don't come any closer!"
Upon seeing the emperor's frightened and retreating appearance, Chuanwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "How about I run down and dance? Yellow specks will fly everywhere; if we're going to embarrass ourselves, we'll all embarrass ourselves together, hahaha!"
!!
Chuanwen's demonic laughter rang out, and the Crown Prince and the officials felt a chill run from their feet to the top of their heads. They imagined the magnificent scene and then looked at Chuanwen, who was about to step down.
Even a battle spanning eight hundred miles wasn't this urgent!
Father/Emperor, you must think of something! This witch is really capable of such things! They don't want to be remembered for this!
The emperor, not wanting to leave, immediately stood up, shouted "Dismiss the court!" and fled as fast as the wind could carry him.
At the word "Dismiss the court!", the officials rushed out of the hall as if they had been granted a pardon, even the elderly Minister of Works sprinted at the speed of a hundred-meter dash.
After a gust of wind, the scene suddenly became empty and quiet, leaving only Chuanwen, who hadn't even taken two steps into the hall, and the eunuchs standing there, all bewildered...
Chuanwen was puzzled, "Why did you run so fast? The cured meat drying at home was stolen!"
Looking at the empty court, Chuanwen thought, "Fine, you guys got away quickly." He then looked down at his own yellow robes, thinking, "They really stink."
Oh well, it's okay, it's okay. Didn't someone say that babies' poop and pee can ward off evil spirits? I'm sure this year will be smooth sailing for me, with nothing to worry about.
They're all so unlucky, really...
The officials, who ran a hundred meters out of the main hall before daring to stop, vaguely heard Chuanwen's inner thoughts. They patted their chests, relieved to have survived the ordeal, and said, "This good fortune is all yours, we don't need it!"
Chuanwen went to change her clothes. Everyone avoided her except for the dog that Jiang Meiren kept, which was very enthusiastic about her. However, Zheng Yan dutifully followed behind Chuanwen. When they reached the door, Chuanwen suddenly turned around and gave Zheng Yan a big hug.
[It's such a waste not to share this body of excrement with others!]
Chuanwen expressed deep emotion and felt completely satisfied.
Even after Chuanwen entered the room, Zheng Yan was still in a daze, his ears so red they looked like they could bleed. This was the first time he had ever been hugged by a girl!
"Lord Zheng, you...you should go and change your clothes first."
The palace maid Chunjian's voice rang out, and Zheng Yancai suddenly came back to his senses. He looked down at the stains on his clothes and curled up the corners of his lips.
After changing his clothes, Chuanwen was told he didn't need to take the little princess to the Ganlu Palace. He curled his lip in disdain, [Tch, who are they looking down on!]
The Empress was playing with the little princess, who had also changed her clothes, when she heard Chuanwen's thoughts and said with a smile, "Why don't we take some snacks and go see the Emperor?"
Normally, Chuanwen would have been happy to be free, but when she thought of how the emperor had avoided her like the plague in the main hall, Chuanwen got a mischievous idea and immediately agreed.
The Empress handed the sleepy little princess to the wet nurse, and then she and Chuanwen headed towards Ganlu Palace.
Upon arrival, Huang Qi went in to announce their arrival, but instead of letting them in immediately as usual, he hesitated for a while before running out to let them in.
What's going on?
The emperor was puzzled, and the empress was also puzzled.
After entering, the Empress placed the snacks on the table and then inquired about the Emperor's health. Chuanwen, on the other hand, noticed something hidden among the pile of memorials on the Emperor's desk.
[Ha! There's definitely something fishy going on!]
Chuanwen quickly went to look at the script, while the emperor froze. Having a maid by his side wasn't necessarily a good thing!
"Wen girl, come here, have some snacks..."
The emperor tried to stop Chuanwen from digging into what he had just done, but it was too late; Chuanwen had already been found.
