Chapter 267 Boomerang at the Banquet
[Host, what you said is wrong. All civil and military officials are subjects of the emperor. To be honest, it is the host who is poaching people.]
Emperor Yuan nodded secretly, that’s right, they have always been my people!
However, it was only after he saw the name of the Right Vice Minister of Rites on the list that he made up his mind to promote him to the position of Shangshu.
Jiang Yueyang was in the wrong, but she didn't care.
[Xiaogua, who are you? ]
The system chuckled dryly. "Of course I belong to the host. The emperor is so treacherous! He chose you not earlier or later, but only after you became the Right Vice Minister of Rites. He's clearly trying to steal your support!"
Emperor Yuan & His Officials: You change your attitude so quickly! You're a fence-sitter, you're on both sides.
[But... Host, didn't you ask the Emperor to confirm the final candidate for the Supervisory Office? If he doesn't give you the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you can't say anything.]
Jiang Yueyang was silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it. The Right Vice Minister of Rites isn't particularly outstanding compared to the others on the list. If Your Majesty chooses him, the person left for me will only be better."
Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites: "..."
Emperor Yuan didn't care. He just wanted someone reliable enough to serve as the Minister of Rites.
He said, "Jiang Yueyang, I have already made a preliminary decision on the candidate for the Supervisory Office. After the morning court session, please come to Huaqing Palace."
"Yes!" Jiang Yueyang responded.
Afterwards, Emperor Yuan discussed other matters with others.
Jiang Yueyang took the opportunity to secretly adjust her sitting posture to make herself more comfortable.
The Left Prime Minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, now that the Crown Princess has been chosen, we should choose an auspicious date for the wedding as soon as possible."
"My dear minister." Emperor Yuan looked at the director of the Imperial Observatory.
"Your Majesty, I have already calculated several auspicious dates. They are the Lantern Festival, the Flower Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Qiqiao Festival."
"Which day does the prince prefer?"
The Crown Prince stood up and replied, "It's already early November, and the time is too short. Not to mention whether the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department can prepare properly, it would also be disrespectful to the Crown Princess."
As for the rest of the time, I have no objection. It will be decided by Father and the others."
Duke Ying stood up and expressed his opinion, "I feel that the Dragon Boat Festival is a day of sacrifices and not a suitable time for marriage.
Although the Qiqiao Festival has beautiful meaning, it is a bit stingy. I'm sure my colleagues will also think it's too late.
Only the Flower Festival, with all the flowers in full bloom, is the most suitable time for a gentle person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry."
After hearing this, everyone agreed.
Seeing this, Emperor Yuan said, "Then let's set it for the Flower Festival."
After agreeing on the prince's wedding date, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said that some foreign envoys wanted to come to Daxia to celebrate the New Year.
At the same time, Jiang Yueyang took advantage of the adult in front of him to cover his eyes, stretched out a hand to support his chin and chatted with the system.
[Daxia's Flower Festival is on the 15th day of the second lunar month, which is more than three months away.
I didn't expect Gu Ruo and His Royal Highness to get married so soon. I thought it would take at least a year.]
System: [The Crown Prince is not young anymore. At his age, he should normally be a father.]
[Indeed, Your Highness the Crown Prince is marrying late.]
The system asked: [When does the host plan to get married? Don't say you want to be in your twenties. Even if your partner agrees, your mother won't agree.]
Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but shudder when she thought of her mother's reaction.
[It’s impossible to be in your twenties, but you should be at least eighteen.]
Lu Yunting subconsciously calculated his age. He was twenty-one when Yangyang was eighteen.
It’s okay, it’s not too late.
Most of the soldiers in the army get married in their twenties, and many of them are still unmarried in their thirties or forties.
Few girls are willing to marry a man who may sacrifice his life for his country at any time.
[By the way, weren't you planning on eating melons earlier? Now I have something on my mind, so tell me what you want.]
The system really wanted to say capriciously that it didn't care anymore, but it was sure that the host would go along with it.
Then, he was the one who suffered the loss.
So, he said with a flexible smile: [Whose gossip do you want to hear from? Emperor Yuan, Duke Ying, General Zhenguo, Lu Yunting, the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, Lord Ke...it's up to you.]
Emperor Yuan widened his eyes. How come there are still some of my melons?
Lu Yunting was also very confused. He believed that apart from the time when he was captured by bandits and made their wife, he had not done anything wrong.
The fifth prince, who had been trained quite well by the third prince recently, was eating secretly with his head down. When he heard Jiang Yueyang calling his name, he raised his head in confusion.
The others who were named tried desperately to recall the stupid things they had done and said, as well as the behavior of their partners.
Jiang Yueyang's eyes swept over the people mentioned by the system one by one, but she didn't notice that those people were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.
[I want to eat more...] She is still struggling.
The person whose name was called cried out secretly, "It's so annoying, why don't you give me a quick death!"
[Forget it, why don't you tell me about that creepy guy at the Duke Su's family reunion banquet?]
The system glanced at Lu Yunting and deliberately asked: [Host, are you talking about that wretched man who wanted to take advantage of you?]
[Yes, that's him.]
Hearing this, Lu Yunting narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his bony hands into fists, and the aura around him suddenly became cold.
Emperor Yuan slowly looked at the three prince brothers who had attended the banquet that day. His eyes undoubtedly asked, is there such a thing?
The prince and his two companions had no idea about this matter, and after being stunned for a while, they felt extremely angry.
Who is so blind as to seek death?
Duke Su didn't expect that the disaster was not over yet. Now it was known by His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Lu Yunting, who valued Jiang Yueyang more than his life.
His Majesty will not hold me accountable personally for my sake, but will let me punish myself.
It is not convenient for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stand up for Jiang Yueyang now, but the Third Prince definitely will, and he won't be able to escape a beating.
Not to mention Lu Yunting, he was already showing mercy by not killing that guy.
I don’t care anymore!
What a blind bastard! How dare someone sitting in that position dream of this? He deserves to die!
After the system stirred up a wave of undercurrents, it said cheerfully: [The melon of that wretched man is not simple. I would call it the most explosive, disgusting, and morally corrupt melon so far.
Host, are you sure you still want to listen? 】
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang hesitated for a moment. Judging from the behavior of that wretched man, his melon must have some color.
Moreover, the system exaggerates so much, so the extent of the explosion must be unimaginable.
But if he doesn't eat it, who knows what kind of morally corrupt thing he has done. If someone does that...
At this moment, Jiang Yueyang made a decision!
"Speak, I want to hear what that disgusting thing did to make you say such things!"
