I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby
Chapter 16 Host, do you want to eat the emperor’s melon?
Qin Yue had only one thought in her mind at the moment: Is this a mistake?! I am still a baby! I am still breastfeeding! I can't speak yet? How can I be an official?
Eunuch Li finished reading the imperial edict and handed it to Master Qin. Seeing that Master Qin did not respond, he reminded him, "Master Qin, please accept the imperial edict."
Master Qin finally woke up from his dream and hurriedly took the imperial edict with both hands. "I accept the edict on behalf of my granddaughter. Thank you for your grace!"
"Lord Qin, please communicate with this eunuch about the following rewards. Oh! By the way, the official uniforms for the two Lords Qin and Princess Fu'an have been made overnight by the Ministry of Rites, and someone will deliver them later. I will return to the palace to report to His Majesty now!"
Eunuch Li pointed to the long list of rewards behind him, then pointed to a eunuch next to him and gave instructions to Master Qin.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Li. This is a small gift. Please accept it."
Master Qin took a bulging purse from Butler Wang and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand.
Eunuch Li weighed it and found it was quite heavy. It seemed that the Qin family was very sincere. He showed satisfaction unconsciously.
"Thank you very much. I will return to the palace to report to His Majesty."
After saying this, Eunuch Li got on the carriage and slowly left.
On the Qin family's side, housekeeper Wang was in charge of handing over the rewards, while Qin Qin ordered people to take out the firecrackers bought early in the morning and set them off outside the gate of the Qin Mansion for a while. He also distributed some snacks such as candies and melon seeds to the people around, and even scattered a large bag of copper coins.
There was a lot of excitement in front of the Qin family's door, and then the crowd gradually dispersed.
After receiving the order, several people from the Qin family came to the conference room.
At this time, in the Qin family meeting room.
"Master, tell me, what is going on?"
Madam Qin couldn't help but ask first.
"Madam, this morning the eldest brother and I wanted to talk about the happy event of being promoted to an official position, but I didn't expect there would be the matter of Sister Yue as well." Master Qin answered honestly.
"Yes, mother. Last night, His Majesty left father and me alone to discuss the Qin family's return to the court. Because I have a good foundation in martial arts, I was given the position of deputy commander of the imperial guards. Because father has good business skills and the Minister of Revenue strongly recommended him, he was originally scheduled to be the Minister of Revenue, but for some reason he became a walking official in front of the emperor."
"Your Majesty conferred Sister Yue the title of Princess because he thought Sister Yue had broken the Qin family's curse. But I didn't expect that he would also confer Sister Yue an official title. From now on, the three of us can go to court together!"
Qin Qin added cheerfully.
"Sister Yue is still so young, how can she go to court?" Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel worried.
"We don't know what His Majesty is thinking for now. I will carry Sister Yue to court tomorrow. Maybe His Majesty appointed me to walk before the emperor, and he also wants me to bring Sister Yue to court. After all, walking before the emperor only requires His Majesty's orders, and there is nothing to do without orders." Master Qin said helplessly.
Qin Yue: [Is there something seriously wrong with the emperor? Is it appropriate for a one-month-old baby like me to attend court? I can't talk, so am I supposed to be a mascot?! ]
Everyone in the Qin family took a deep breath when they heard this: Sister Yue! Can you just scold the emperor casually?! You will be beheaded for this!
Everyone in the Qin family was a little worried. What if Sister Yue continued to speak so carelessly in the court? How many heads would the Qin family have to chop off?
Thinking of this, Master Qin seemed to have foreseen the days when he would be walking on thin ice in the court in the future, and his expression suddenly became a little listless.
System: [Host, you guessed it right. Your emperor wants you to be a mascot and use your blessings to nourish the court.]
Qin Yue: [What kind of brain does this guy have? A pig brain? I’m still a baby?! I’m really crying. I have to start working just after I’m one month old. What the hell is this?]
But no matter how Qin Yue expressed her dissatisfaction, she was awakened early the next morning while still asleep. She was fed in a daze, put on a tailor-made official uniform in a daze, and was carried into the carriage in a daze, which slowly drove into the palace.
When Qin Yue woke up in a daze, she was already standing in the Golden Throne Hall in the arms of her grandfather.
The court officials had received news yesterday that a young official would take office today, and they couldn't help but look into Lord Qin's arms with curiosity.
Various news about Xiao Fuguan had long spread throughout the capital, and it could be said that everyone knew about it.
I heard that Xiao Fuguan is a fairy who came down to earth specifically to curse the Qin family!
I also heard that Xiao Fuguan has a mountain spirit sister who can help him and know everyone's secrets! What's called eating melons!
But hearing is just hearing, and the court officials said they would rather hear it with their own ears!
"His Majesty has arrived!" A shrill voice sounded in the hall.
Emperor Yuan of Jin walked towards the dragon throne with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and sat down with his chest heaving violently from walking too fast.
The court officials all bowed and shouted, "Your Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
"Everyone loves you!"
Emperor Yuan of Jin waved his hand and signaled all the court officials to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the court officials responded in unison.
Qin Yue's eyes were rolling around at this moment, and he saw that the hall was full of people. However, these adults seemed to have something wrong with their eyes. They looked squinting when they stood and talked. Is this some kind of new way of attending court?
Court officials: I was caught peeking, but it seems I didn’t…
System: [Host, there is the emperor's melon, do you want to eat it? ! ]
Master Qin, now I should call him Lord Qin: This familiar suffocating feeling comes again... I have to tell Steward Wang after the court session today, otherwise no one will go to the mass grave to collect the bodies of their family...
The court officials finally heard the legendary old sister's voice with their own ears, but at this moment they wished they had never heard it!
Can the emperor's melons also be heard? !
Everyone was waiting nervously and excitedly, fearing that the young official and the old sister would say something outrageous and anger His Majesty. But they couldn't resist their curiosity and pricked up their ears to listen.
The court officials thought that if they stuck their heads out, they would be cut by the knife, and if they could eat the melon of His Majesty before the knife came, they would not regret it!
Emperor Yuan of Jin also pricked up his ears. He wanted to hear what news he had!
The prince stood there with a calm expression on his face. If he hadn't glanced at Qin Yue from time to time, one would have thought that he was not curious at all.
The second prince rubbed his hands excitedly, Oh oh oh oh, I'm so looking forward to hearing what his father has to say!
Qin Yue said excitedly: [Eat, eat, eat, you must eat! ]
System: [Emperor Yuan of Jin got up late this morning and was in a hurry to go to court, so he put his underwear on backwards! ]
Qin Yue: [Poof! Hahahahahaha! ]
All the court officials lowered their heads, trying hard to suppress their laughter, their shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
The prince looked oddly as if he wanted to laugh but didn't want to, and his face twitched.
The second prince almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and the crown prince beside him quickly covered his mouth, "What are you laughing at! Hold it in!"
How could his silly brother be so tactless? Was this the right time to laugh? He laughed at his father in front of so many court officials. Did he want to be beaten by his father?
Lord Qin looked hopeless at the moment. It seemed that Steward Wang might not be saved either. He had to tell a few more people and cast a wide net. There would always be a "fish that slipped through the net" who could collect the bodies of their family...
Emperor Yuan of Jin's face suddenly turned red from his ears to his neck.
Now Emperor Yuan of Jin was extremely grateful. A few days ago, he listened to the words of the second prince on a whim. He didn't know where he read it from in a book, saying that getting more sun exposure was good for the body. So he sunbathed in the hot sun for a few days, and his whole body became tanned.
Well, it’s better to be dark. Then you can’t tell that he is blushing…
Then Emperor Yuan of Jin glared at Eunuch Li who was standing next to him. It was all Li Fuquan's fault. He said he was worried that Li Fuquan didn't get enough rest, so he woke him up a little later than usual. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to put on his underwear backwards!
Eunuch Li, I wish I could become invisible...
System: [Your emperor is really a good emperor, or rather, all the emperors of the Southern Dynasty were good emperors. They were diligent and dedicated to the people during their reign. He was busy dealing with memorials last night and went to bed late, so he got up late this morning.]
Qin Yue: [Oh, so that's how it is. His Majesty is really good, he still works hard on his homework late at night. But staying up too late is not good, it's easy to get bald. I hope His Majesty didn't inherit that weird habit. And if you wear your underwear inside, no one will know if you put it on backwards. Let's just have some fun, hehe...]
When Emperor Yuan of Jin heard the two people praising him just now, he felt a little embarrassed and touched his nose to cover it up. Then he heard the words "bald" and "strange problem" and coughed heavily a few times in fear, fearing that the two guys would reveal the baldness of the empress dowager the next moment.
Emperor Yuan of Jin listened carefully and did not hear the word "Empress Dowager", so he let out a long sigh.
Can we just let this underwear thing go? If you two hadn't said anything, no one would have known about it!
Everyone in the hall: Since everyone knows about it, let’s just have fun together, haha…
Emperor Yuan of Jin saw that the court officials were all trying to hold back their laughter and their shoulders were shaking, especially the Second Prince, whose mouth was so tight that he looked like a toothless old man. It was really unbearable to watch.
Emperor Jin Yuan coughed lightly and changed the subject, "My dear ministers, do you have anything important to report?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. I am suing Prince An!"
