Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 123 I Might Die Tonight

The next day, at the palace gate.

Jiang Yueyang got off the carriage carrying a heavy bamboo basket and saw the long line in front of the palace gate from afar.

Two imperial guards were checking the official's personal belongings.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yueyang frowned, "Why are we all rushing into the palace together today?"

No one responded, and the system remained in the small dark room and refused to come out.

Jiang Yueyang walked to the end of the team with a basket. She turned sideways and counted, and there were at least thirty people in front of her.

She had never done any work since she was a child, and after carrying the basket for only half a minute, she felt like her hands were about to break.

[Wow... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have pretended so much. ]

The bamboo basket was filled with sprouted potatoes and sweet potato seedlings, which she brought into the palace today to present to His Majesty.

[Little melon, if you don't come out now, you won't have to come out anymore.]

After a while, a mechanical laugh came from my mind.

[Host, good morning. It's been a while since we last met. You've become more beautiful again.]

The official who heard the inner voice said: You lackey, I despise you!

Jiang Yueyang said sarcastically: [Are you willing to come out? I thought you were giving birth in there and died of complications!]

The system smiled and said: [Host, you are joking. I am a male system and cannot give birth to children.]

[So you're squatting in there to poop?]

Official chewing on a bun: Ugh!

System: [Host, don't talk like that. I'm scared.]

Jiang Yueyang snorted coldly. As a system, how could he abandon his post without permission?

So unprofessional!

Seeing that Jiang Yueyang didn't say anything else, the system secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the host was no longer angry.

Jiang Yueyang was not angry about what the system said yesterday, but was angry that he locked himself in the small dark room and refused to come out, as if he was being so reasonable.

[Xiaogua, do you know why everyone is coming to the palace at this time today? ]

When the system heard Jiang Yueyang's tone return to normal, it immediately replied: [At 7 o'clock this morning, two carriages collided on the road leading to the palace, causing a traffic jam.]

Jiang Yueyang said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, footsteps were heard behind her and someone lined up behind her.

The team moved forward slowly. Jiang Yueyang changed hands several times before finally complaining, "Ahhh... What the hell is that guy up there dawdling about? Can they hurry up? I'm dying of exhaustion!"

Because Jiang Yueyang was screaming in her heart, even the people in the front of the line could hear her.

When Xu Zheng (an official from Wenyuan Pavilion), who was standing at the front of the line, heard this, he immediately snatched the book from the imperial guard's hand and decisively threw it aside.

"I won't bring this book in."

Because the imperial guards suspected that the book Xu Zheng brought was a banned book, they checked it page by page.

This caused the team to move forward very slowly.

The imperial guards glanced at the book thrown on the ground and let him in without saying anything.

Seeing this, the others went through the things they had brought and threw away those that might be carefully inspected.

If something is lost, it is lost. We cannot make Master Xiao Jiang unhappy, otherwise who knows who will suffer.

The system gave a suggestion, [Host, why don't you ask the person in front of you if they're willing to switch places with you?]

Duke Su, who was standing in front of Jiang Yueyang, said: "..."

"Don't give me such bad advice! If I do this, the officials at the Censorate will impeach me, and His Majesty will have another reason to deduct my leave. I'd better pack up my things first..."

Emperor Yuan: Am I that kind of person?

Before Jiang Yueyang could finish her words, a hand appeared on the bamboo basket in her hand.

She looked up along the bony fingers, and hmm... it was a face that was a little too handsome.

Lu Yunting took the bamboo basket from her hand with a little force. Their eyes met and the atmosphere around them instantly became very subtle.

[Little melon, has Lu Yunting always been standing behind me? ]

[No, he swapped places with someone else.]

Jiang Yueyang raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said "oh", feeling happy in her heart. So this is what it feels like to be remembered by someone?

But then I thought about it, I had experienced several embarrassing narcissistic situations, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was being too sentimental again.

[Xiaogua, do you think Lu Yunting likes me? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Yunting's ears turned red instantly, and the others also held their breath and listened.

The system was in a dilemma. [Host, I'm a melon-eating system, not a love system, so I can't give you an accurate answer. Judging from the current situation, he should like you... right?]

What kind of answer is this?

【Host, you have to judge for yourself.】

The officials present had different thoughts. Did they hear it right?

Lord Xiao Jiang likes General Lu?

Isn’t she the future Crown Princess?

Your Majesty can't sleep.

Your Majesty is going to break up the couple.

Your Majesty is going to kill someone.

The emperor, who was changing into court robes, sneezed several times in succession and cursed Jiang Yueyang casually.

Humph! That damn girl Jiang Yueyang is saying bad things about me behind my back again.

Before they knew it, there were two more people whose turn it was Jiang Yueyang's turn to inspect before entering the palace.

After a while, Duke Su walked up with empty hands.

He patted himself and said, "I didn't bring anything."

Previously, Duke Su lost all the things he brought with him.

The guards symbolically checked his sleeves and let him in.

Seeing that it was her turn, Jiang Yueyang turned around and wanted to take back her bamboo basket, but Lu Yunting put the bamboo basket directly in front of the imperial guards.

The imperial guards lifted the blue cloth on the basket, revealing the sweet potato sprouts inside, with potatoes underneath.

"What are these?"

Jiang Yueyang answered honestly: "Sweet potato sprouts and potatoes."

Duke Su, who had not walked far, paused, and Lu Yunting also shifted his gaze from Jiang Yueyang to the bamboo basket.

Is this a potato?

What are sweet potato sprouts?

The Imperial Guards routinely asked, "Why did you bring these things into the palace?"

"To His Majesty."

Seeing that she said she wanted to give something to His Majesty, the imperial guards did not dare to take it lightly and questioned her carefully, fearing that it was something poisonous.

At this moment, Duke Su found Xie Xu from somewhere.

Xie Xu coughed loudly, and the imperial guards turned around when they heard the sound.

"grown ups."

Xie Xu glanced at the bamboo basket without leaving any trace, then secretly winked at the imperial guards, "What are you dawdling about? The time for court is almost up. Hurry up and finish the inspection and let everyone in."

The imperial guards understood immediately and let Jiang Yueyang pass.

Lu Yunting took the bamboo basket first, and the two of them walked in one after the other tacitly.

The system glanced at the Imperial Guard and said hesitantly: [Host, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not.]

Jiang Yueyang said angrily: [Speak, stop dithering.]

[The Imperial Guard just now might die tonight.]
