Chapter 217: Does gender have nothing to do with it?
[This official is truly unfit for office! He didn't even grant leave for such a serious matter. It's simply inhumane!]
Emperor Yuan felt that he could not suffer this injustice in vain, so he winked at Qin Shi who was standing near Jiang Yueyang.
After Qin Shi understood Emperor Yuan's gaze, he whispered to the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice in front of him, "Lord Lu, didn't you say two days ago that you had something to ask the Minister of Justice for leave today? Why are you here today? Didn't the Minister approve it?"
The Minister of Justice frowned in confusion. Is this true?
Hearing Qin Shi's words "he didn't come", the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice exclaimed in confusion.
Qin Shi glanced to the side, and the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice immediately reacted and said, "No, no, the matter was resolved ahead of time, so I didn't ask for leave from the Minister."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Yueyang heard every word of their conversation and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
[Little Melon, I think I just misunderstood Your Majesty. The Personnel Minister should have asked for leave from the Minister of Personnel. The inhumane person is the Minister of Personnel.]
Minister of Personnel: I won’t take the blame!
Emperor Yuan: No! You must take the blame!
The Minister of Justice suddenly realized that it was to clear His Majesty of suspicion! I thought there was something wrong with my memory.
The system said meaningfully: [Who cares? They don't know what you're thinking anyway.]
[That's right.] Jiang Yueyang nodded. [By the way, where is Madam Xiao now?]
【you guess. 】
Jiang Yueyang thought seriously for a while, [Could it be that their sister secretly took the person away?]
The British princess was the first to deny it. It was impossible! Even if their sister wanted to take the person away, her husband's family would not agree.
Of course, I agree. Even if my wife invites everyone from her family to live in the Duke's Mansion, I have no objection at all!
Civil and military officials also thought it was impossible. No woman would bring her mother back to live with her husband's family while her brother was still alive. Isn't this deliberately causing unrest in the family?
System: [Hahahaha... Their sister did have this idea, but before she could act on it, Old Madam Xiao disappeared.]
[It wasn't the three brothers of Lord Xiao, nor was it their sister. Old Madam Xiao is safe now. Could it be... that Old Madam Xiao left on her own?]
Bingo! Correct answer.
【why? 】
All the civil and military officials also asked themselves why.
[Because Old Madam Xiao met her twilight love! ]
Everyone present was stunned for a moment when these words came out. When they reacted, they all opened their eyes wide.
Especially Xiao Yi, he felt that he must be hallucinating!
But when he saw his colleagues' reactions, he knew clearly that it was not an auditory hallucination.
Dusk love?
who is it?
Which old bastard kidnapped my mother!
Hearing the words "twilight love", Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but feel a little excited. "Xiaogua, are you saying that Madam Xiao is with her twilight love partner now?"
[Yes. The reason why Old Madam Xiao divided the family property among the three Xiao Yi brothers was not because Xiao Yi and the others had already started families and careers, but because she wanted to spend her time alone with her twilight lover.
Who knew that the three Xiao Yi brothers didn't understand their mother's feelings at all, and made her run back and forth month after month, suffering from the pain of missing her every day.
Jiang Yueyang: […Do you love me so deeply? To the point where you're suffering from the pain of missing me?]
Xiao Yi: "..."
Civil and military officials: "..."
The system snorted: [Isn't that possible? Are you young people allowed to love each other to death?]
[Okay, absolutely amazing! Everyone has the right to pursue love, regardless of age, family background, nationality, or gender...]
These words deeply shocked everyone present. Lord Xiao Jiang’s ideological awareness is too high!
The Right Prime Minister lowered his eyes and thought deeply. Does gender have nothing to do with it?
The system is satisfied. [That's all for today's story. Is the host satisfied with this story?]
[Very good, this is an unexpected result.]
Upon hearing this, the system snorted arrogantly.
After eating the melon, the morning court progressed rapidly and came to an end in a short while.
A quarter of an hour later, the morning court ended.
As soon as Emperor Yuan left, the Minister of Personnel walked towards Jiang Yueyang and soon reached her side.
"Master Xiao Jiang, the results of the imperial examination have been announced. Now we need to post the list and announce the time for the palace examination."
"I want to go too?" Jiang Yueyang was a little surprised.
"What else? You are the examiner."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang muttered, "I'm the chief examiner, but you didn't let me help you mark the papers."
Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: "..."
The system said unceremoniously: [Host, we want you to participate in grading the papers, but you must have the ability to do so.
There are no standard answers for you to follow when marking and grading. It all depends on your own judgment.
With the limited knowledge I have, if I were to let you participate in grading the papers, the rankings would definitely be inflated.]
Jiang Yueyang's face flushed red at the system's words, and she retorted weakly: "I... I also graduated from a prestigious university."
[It's useless to graduate from a prestigious university if you learn different things. Besides, how many knowledge points can you still remember?
Let's take a simple one. A small bridge over a flat bank is embraced by thousands of peaks, a soft blue water shrouds flowers and grasses. Several thatched cottages have graceful windows. What's the next line? (Can you remember it without searching?)
Everyone who heard this half of the ancient poem from the system gradually slowed down their pace. What a great poem!
What comes after this?
Many people began to secretly try to continue with the next sentence, especially the Taifu and Kong Jijiu, who were known for their erudition and learning.
But after thinking about it for a few times, they were not satisfied and could not help but prick up their ears to listen, wanting to know what the next sentence would be.
Jiang Yueyang had no idea at all. She was not familiar with the poem that the system had just recited.
She coughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "Xiaogua, didn't you say you didn't have that knowledge? Did you deliberately not help me before?"
[I didn’t, I upgraded.]
[Oh, you've leveled up. That's great. Keep up the good work.]
Jiang Yueyang didn't give the system a chance to react, and immediately urged the Minister of Personnel, "Sir, let's hurry up and don't make the candidates wait anxiously. By the way, do the candidates know that the results will be announced today?"
"I had a notice posted the day Master Xiao Jiang returned to the capital."
The Taifu and Kong Jijiu looked at the two people's backs as they walked away. What was the next sentence?
The system reacted at this time, [Host, if you forgot, just say so! You are thick-skinned anyway, so you are not afraid of embarrassment.]
【Just wait, I'll remember it! 】
