I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Qin Yue: [Hey, sister, what kind of melon is Minister Wei? Is it sweet or bitter? ]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials turned their eyes to Minister Wei.

Minister Wei suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

I was still happy before I was the one making fun of others. After all, eating other people's melons and laughing at other people's jokes is a wonderful experience.

However, when I ate the melon myself, I realized how it felt...

Minister Wei now only hopes that... his melon is a sweet melon...

However, although Minister Wei's dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel.

The next moment, I heard the system's evaluation of this melon.

[Host, Minister Wei's melon is neither sweet nor bitter, and it has a twist.]

Upon hearing this, Wei Shangshu was disappointed: Woohoo... My heart aches. Why isn't it a sweet treat? For example, my granddaughter met the right person or something...

This is neither sweet nor bitter. It's the most uncomfortable thing to be stuck in the middle!

It’s totally impossible to guess what the gossip is about!

The other officials were just watching the fun with joy.

Hehe, this old guy is usually very old-fashioned. Apart from being particularly indulgent towards Princess Ningping, he is really ruthless to his colleagues who work with him.

Oh, Princess Ningping is the granddaughter of that old guy.

Even when entering the throne room, the old-fashioned man would nag them about whether to step in with the right foot first or the left foot first, under the pretext that etiquette cannot be abolished...

The goddamn etiquette cannot be abolished. Many of them have seen it. Princess Ningping ran towards him and hugged him and acted like a spoiled child in public...

How come he doesn't say anything nagging despite his such a lively behavior?

Thinking of that wrinkled old face, forcing out a brilliant smile like a chrysanthemum, and looking at Princess Ningping with such doting eyes, all the court officials felt goose bumps all over their bodies.

Hiss… This old guy is definitely obsessed with his granddaughter! Etiquette means nothing to his granddaughter!

They will only target those good people like them!

snort!

They want to see what secrets this old guy has!

Hehe! If he wants to talk about them again in the future, they will have weapons to fight back against him!

Qin Yue urged: [Sister, tell me what kind of melon is this Minister Wei? It's neither sweet nor bitter, so strange.]

Everyone unconsciously lowered their voices, pricked up their ears and took their seats.

Minister Wei gritted his teeth, took out a Yangxin Pill from his body, and quickly took one...two pills!

If he ate one more, what if it was a big melon? He was afraid that his little heart wouldn't be able to handle it.

The system sorted out its thoughts and said, [This melon about Minister Wei is actually related to his daughter. ]

When Minister Wei heard this, his heart began beating uncontrollably.

Didn't his daughter die many years ago? How come there are still melons?

Minister Wei suddenly thought of something. Could it be that... his daughter was still alive, just like Princess Mingle?

impossible!impossible!

Minister Wei shook his head. He had seen the bodies of his daughter and son-in-law with his own eyes, so this definitely couldn't be the case!

What on earth is that?

[Host, Minister Wei's daughter is not actually his biological daughter, but an abandoned baby that he and his wife found.]

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

What?

The daughter of Minister Wei who had passed away many years ago was not actually his biological daughter?

Then why is he so nice to Princess Ningping?

Everyone thought again, although she was an adopted daughter, she was the only daughter of Minister Wei, and she was very good to Minister Wei and his wife.

It was completely hard to tell that the child was not Minister Wei's biological daughter.

It's just a pity that the child died so young. She already had a happy family, but she and her husband died in an accident not long after her daughter was born.

Alas... her husband is King Mu... a man of such a clear mind and bright moon...

When Emperor Yuan of Jin heard about the gossip about Minister Wei, he didn't react much.

When he heard that it was actually related to his younger brother and sister-in-law who died young, Emperor Yuan of Jin immediately sat up straight, moved his buttocks, and listened carefully.

I was also speculating in my heart: I don’t know if my sister will mention that incident later. They all thought it was an accident, but... what if it wasn’t...

When Minister Wei heard the system's words, he didn't react.

After all, as the person involved, he naturally knew that the daughter they had raised carefully for twenty years was actually someone they picked up accidentally on a snowy day.

His wife had great difficulty getting pregnant, and on the way to Pu'an Temple, they encountered a woman lying unconscious on the ground.

The woman was holding a baby in her arms, her cheeks were red from the cold, and she had a high fever.

He and his wife were both kind-hearted people, so they didn't even bother going to the temple to pray. Instead, they immediately ordered the woman and child to be loaded onto the carriage and headed for the capital.

Fortunately, they reacted in time and the child was saved.

However, the woman was silent.

From the tattered and thin clothes that the woman was wearing, they judged that something bad must have happened to her. She didn't even have time to put on more clothes and hurried on the road with her child in the heavy snow.

The child was dressed warmly, with delicate clothes inside, and layers of clothes obviously for adults outside. I guess the woman took off her outer coat and put it on the child.

It was this action of the woman that saved the child.

However, she herself could not hold on, alas...

His wife thought that they saved the child on the way to Pu'an Temple to pray to the Bodhisattva for a child, so they must have a connection with the child. Maybe the Bodhisattva took pity on them and gave the child to them specially.

So they adopted the child.

Except for the people in the mansion, almost no one outside knew about this matter.

Because his wife was not a person who liked to attend parties, she rarely appeared in front of outsiders.

Even if they suddenly said they were going to hold a full-month party for their child, no one would have thought that the child was not actually their biological child.

They didn't bother to clarify.

Since we have already decided to adopt the child, why not give him a formal identity?

And until now, he and his wife feel that the decision to adopt was the right one. Not only did they gain a sweet little girl, but she is also their only child.

It’s just a pity that such a good child passed away at the best age.

Although their granddaughter Xin'er has not been raised by them over the years, their love for her has not diminished at all, and sometimes they even feel that they have not given her enough.

After all, growing up without parents around you will always be missing something.

Fortunately, Xin'er has been raised under the protection of Princess Jinyang over the years, and her personality is just like her mother's, lively and lovely.

Minister Wei thought about the cute appearance of his granddaughter, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously, as if he had forgotten that he was being eaten by the audience.

Qin Yue: [Sister, there is nothing wrong with this picked-up child. Even if it is an adopted child, as long as you treat him sincerely, he will still be happy. What the hell is this? ]

[Is there something else in this?] Based on Qin Yue's previous experience of eating melons, her sister would never say something as simple as a child she picked up for no reason!
