At the hour of Mao the next day, the moon was high in the sky and Jiang Yueyang was still asleep. Xiangling pushed the door open, yawning.
Since she was two years old and followed Jiang Yueyang, she has never gotten up so early. She was just woken up by Qingzhi.
Last night, Minister Jiang specifically asked Qingzhi to wake Jiang Yueyang up because he knew his daughter too well and knew she would definitely not be able to wake up.
Xiangling reached out and gently shook Jiang Yueyang on the bed, "Miss, it's time to get up."
Jiang Yueyang frowned and turned over instinctively, showing no intention of waking up.
"Girl, if you don't get up, you'll be late for court."
After Xiangling finished speaking, she yawned again. Both the master and the servant felt very sleepy.
The two words "attending court" seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and Jiang Yueyang suddenly opened his eyes.
She stared upwards for a long time without moving, and suddenly let out a howl of despair.
"Ah...what's going on? I never got up this early when I was working!"
Xiangling patted her cheek to sober herself up a little, "Miss, get up, I will help you wash and change your clothes."
"No, I'm late, so I'm late. It's just that I don't want to be an official and go to court." Jiang Yueyang closed his eyes capriciously.
[Host, your father probably won't let this happen.] The system reminded.
Jiang Yueyang: "..."
Jiang Yueyang silently opened her eyes and sat up. She was stunned for a while before she got out of bed helplessly.
Because there were no official uniforms, Jiang Yueyang still wore her own clothes.
I didn't dress up anything special today, just like any other day.
Just as she had finished getting ready, Minister Jiang came to her with breakfast.
When he saw Jiang Yueyang looked like she was still sleepy, he just shook his head without looking at it.
"Didn't I tell you to go to bed early yesterday?"
Jiang Yueyang closed his eyes and replied, "Dad, going to bed early doesn't necessarily mean you can get up early."
Minister Jiang: “…”
Because Daxia had an early court session, Minister Jiang usually had breakfast in the carriage.
As soon as the father and daughter got on the carriage, Minister Jiang took out a plate of meat patties and a plate of meat buns from the food box, as well as two bamboo tubes of rice soup.
The father and daughter ate their breakfast in silence, thoroughly practicing the rule of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping.
After both of them had eaten their fill, Minister Jiang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Follow me when you go in. Don't look around. It's best to look down at your feet. After entering the hall, if His Majesty asks you a question, you should step out and answer. If he doesn't ask you a question, just keep your mouth shut."
Better to close your heart too.
But this is impossible. When his daughter has nothing to do, she likes to talk to that kid.
Until now, he still doesn't know what a small melon is.
"Got it." Jiang Yueyang responded in a bad mood.
[I don't know how long the court session will take. I'm so tired standing all the time.]
System: [Based on the time your father usually takes to get home from court, in most cases it is about 3 to 5 hours.]
Jiang Yueyang's face turned bitter in an instant, [It took so long? I don't know if I can rest, go to the toilet, or eat during the process? ]
【Ask your father.】
Minister Jiang: Don’t Q! He doesn’t want to answer those questions.
Jiang Yueyang turned her head to look at her father, but Minister Jiang avoided her gaze calmly.
[Forget it, if I ask my dad, he will definitely pull my ears.]
Just like that, before they knew it, the carriage stopped and they had arrived in front of the palace gate.
At this time, many carriages had been parked here, and the adults were being inspected by the guards.
They will only let you go after confirming that you don’t have any prohibited items.
As soon as the Jiang family's carriage appeared, many people noticed it, and they were all curious about Jiang Yueyang.
I was curious about what was so special about her that His Majesty insisted on granting her an official position despite the opposition of the court officials.
Jiang Yueyang was the first to get off the carriage, and then she helped her father down out of filial piety.
Among the all-in-one official uniforms, there was a little girl in a skirt, it was impossible not to attract attention.
Those who had not noticed it before also saw it now.
An adult who was on good terms with Minister Jiang came up to greet him, "Good morning, Minister. Is this your daughter?"
Minister Jiang nodded slightly, "My daughter is Yue Yang. Yang Yang, this is Lord Wang, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Yue Yang meets Lord Wang."
Lord Wang smiled and nodded, "I heard from Lord Shangshu that you have been in poor health since childhood. Are you feeling better now?"
Jiang Yueyang looked at her father when he heard this. Minister Jiang pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and said, "It's getting late. It's time for us to go in."
After saying this, without waiting for Lord Wang's reaction, Minister Jiang took his daughter and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
After successfully passing through the palace gate, they headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony where government meetings were held.
Along the way, many people greeted Minister Jiang, and many people silently looked at Jiang Yueyang beside him.
After finally arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they could not enter immediately. They had to wait for Emperor Yuan to come and then queue up according to their official rank to enter.
However, they didn't have to wait long, because Emperor Yuan was also eager to meet Jiang Yueyang.
The eunuch came out to inform the adults to enter the hall, and Jiang Yueyang followed closely behind her father.
In the main hall, Emperor Yuan had already sat on the dragon throne, his eyes following Jiang Yueyang's steps.
After all the civil and military officials stood still, Emperor Yuan spoke: "Minister Lin, I heard that you fainted yesterday. If you are not feeling well, you can rest at home. Don't force yourself to come to court."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
"That's good." Emperor Yuan turned his gaze and saw the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. "Didn't Qin Aiqing ask for two days off? Why are you here today?"
Qin Shi: "I have finished dealing with my family affairs, so I came to the court."
That being said, the real reason why he came to court was that he heard that Jiang Yueyang would come to court with Minister Jiang today.
He wanted to clarify the doubts in his heart.
Emperor Yuan did not ask any more questions. After glancing at the ministers below, he said, "I see that there are more people attending court today than in the past. This is really rare!"
There were indeed a lot more people coming today, even the military generals who usually seldom attended court came.
At this time, the right prime minister stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of Xizhou has reported that the county under his jurisdiction has been raining for more than a month, and the flooding is serious. The crops may not be harvested. I apply for a one-year tax exemption."
Emperor Yuan: "It can be approved after the situation is confirmed to be true."
The Right Prime Minister glanced at Jiang Yueyang, who had been standing behind Minister Jiang with her head lowered, and said, "I heard that Minister Jiang's daughter is very knowledgeable. May I ask how to better reduce the losses of the people in the face of sudden natural disasters? Avoid casualties?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Jiang Yueyang.
Jiang Yueyang, who was dozing off secretly with his eyes closed, didn't react at all.
After a while, seeing that she still had no response, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Minister Jiang was so anxious that he took a step back and stepped on her foot.
"Oh! Which bastard stepped on me!" Jiang Yueyang screamed in pain.
