Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no
Chapter 1 Searching for a Crown Princess
(Xiaobaiwen, brain storage.)
The text is as follows:
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be healthy and happy."
Jiang Yueyang stood among the noble ladies and knelt down to pay her respects to the Queen of Daxia.
This was her first time going out and entering the palace since she came to this fictional world.
In his previous life, Jiang Yueyang, a social animal, died of a sudden cerebral infarction due to working overtime late at night. On his deathbed, he bound himself to a melon-eating system and was then transported to the Great Xia Dynasty, which did not exist in history.
She became the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
After living her life over again, she decided to give up completely and never get involved again.
"No need for formalities." The Queen raised her jade hand slightly.
"Thank you, Queen."
The noble ladies knelt and took their seats, and Jiang Yueyang also sat down in her seat.
"I just heard that the princess invited all the young ladies to the palace to enjoy the flowers. I have nothing better to do, so I decided to join in the fun. Everyone, please don't be too reserved."
"Yes." The noble ladies all stood up and knelt in response.
Jiang Yueyang was slow to react and stood up, muttering softly, "I'm so tired from entering the palace."
She couldn't count how many times she had to curtsy.
"Mother, we are just about to write a poem on the theme of peony! Since you want to join in the fun, you have to offer some prizes." The eldest princess said in a sweet voice, holding the empress's hand.
"You!" The Queen tapped the eldest princess's forehead lovingly, "It's just a prize, but you still have to ask for it from the Queen Mother."
The eldest princess chuckled.
This flower-viewing banquet, in which noble ladies from various families were invited to the palace in the name of the princess, was actually a selection banquet where the empress wanted to find a princess consort for the prince.
Then, the Empress raised her hand and plucked off the phoenix hairpin on her head, saying with a gentle smile, "Whoever wins first place today will receive this phoenix hairpin in my hand."
The noble ladies showed joy on their faces. They all knew that this was not an ordinary flower-viewing banquet. Obtaining the phoenix hairpin from the Queen was equivalent to having the qualification to be selected as the Crown Princess.
The palace maids presented writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone to the noble ladies present, and there was also a copy on Jiang Yueyang's desk.
She looked at the brush and ink before her and the peonies in full bloom in the garden, and suddenly her head ached. Although she had read a lot in her past life, she had long forgotten most of what she had learned.
I have been obsessed with giving up all my life and have no interest in learning.
Jiang Yueyang glanced around at the noble lady who had already started writing, and wailed with despair, "Ah..."
The noble ladies' hands trembled, and their beautiful handwriting became messed up in an instant.
Who's calling?
The Queen glanced suspiciously at the noble ladies below, and seeing that they all pursed their lips and remained silent, she suspected that she had heard wrongly.
Just as she was about to pick up a bunch of grapes to eat, the voice rang out again.
[Little Melon, please help me think of some ancient poems about peonies.]
The system said helplessly: [Host, I am a melon-eating system, I don't have any knowledge in that area.]
The Queen heard the sound and looked around for its source, and so did the noble ladies.
But they looked around and didn't see anyone opening their mouths to speak, and they couldn't help but feel panic. Could it be that they had a strange disease that caused them to hear auditory hallucinations?
This must not be known to anyone, otherwise I will not be able to become the Crown Princess!
So, everyone present fell silent, crumpled the paper in front of them and started writing again.
Jiang Yueyang sighed, "Then tell me a story to ease my headache and see if I can come up with a poem."
The system chuckled. "Do you see that girl across from you? She's the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites. She's always presented as gentle, dignified, and well-educated. But in reality, she's a violent, shrewish woman who often beats her servants until they're covered in bruises."
Jiang Yueyang looked across at Lin Wan'er, the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, in surprise. "No way? So cruel? I heard from my mother that the Empress intends to choose her as the Crown Princess. Can someone like her be the mother of the country?"
Jiang Yueyang's voice was so resounding that it reached the ears of the Queen of Daxia, and also reached the ears of everyone present.
Some were confused, some were secretly happy.
They already knew that they were not hallucinating, but rather hearing the inner voice of the girl sitting opposite Lin Wan'er.
Judging from the Queen Mother's reaction, she must have heard it too.
Lin Wan'er's reputation for being gentle and virtuous is the biggest obstacle in their competition for the position of Crown Princess.
Regardless of whether what the girl and the man named Xiaogua said was true or false, Lin Wan'er's good impression with the Queen Mother was greatly reduced.
It’s better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn’t exist.
Lin Wan'er's face was pale, and the hand holding the brush was shaking. Facing the strange looks from everyone present, she almost had a fit.
Fortunately, she calmed down in time, gathered her composure, and stood up to defend herself, "Your Majesty, this humble servant..."
"Miss Lin doesn't look well." The Queen interrupted her with a smile, "I think she's not feeling well. Someone, take Miss Lin back to the palace to rest."
All those present were young ladies from official families who were well versed in the art of language in the harem. The Queen's words undoubtedly announced that Lin Wan'er's journey to become the Crown Princess had come to an end.
Only Jiang Yueyang, who had no idea that his thoughts had been overheard, was confused. Why was he suddenly sent back?
Lin Wan'er was asked to leave by the palace maid, and before leaving, she glared at Jiang Yueyang fiercely.
Jiang Yueyang: [??? I didn't provoke her, why is she glaring at me? She really has a bad temper.]
[I definitely have a bad temper, my melon is real. 】
Jiang Yueyang turned her head away inadvertently, "Huh? Why are they all looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked away awkwardly.
The eldest princess was about to ask her how she knew that Lin Wan'er had beaten the maid in private, but was stopped in time by the Queen Mother.
The Queen cleared her throat and asked, "How are the girls' peony poems coming along?"
"I'm sorry to hear your humble servant's humble words. Please accept my words, Your Majesty."
Except for Jiang Yueyang, the other ladies held the papers in their hands above their heads and spoke in unison.
In this way, Jiang Yueyang, who was the only one who did not move, became very conspicuous.
Jiang Yueyang: [Have they rehearsed privately? How come their speech and movements are so synchronized?]
A group of noble ladies: "..."
System: [This is a lady from a noble family.]
The Queen couldn't help laughing, and Jiang Yueyang looked over instinctively.
"Which family are you from?" asked the Queen.
Jiang Yueyang quickly stood up and knelt down to bow, "Your Majesty, I am your servant Jiang Yueyang, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue."
The Empress thought about it and realized that the Minister of Revenue seemed to have a daughter. She was said to be in poor health and had been kept at home without leaving the house.
She went to the palace to attend the flower-viewing banquet today. It was probably because of her private instructions that Minister Jiang and his wife had to let her out.
But she saw that the girl from the Jiang family looked in good spirits and did not seem to be in such a bad condition that she could not go out.
Is it because I can’t hide my inner thoughts?
It seems that she needs to find an opportunity to ask Mrs. Jiang about it.
"I heard that Miss Jiang was in poor health. Is she feeling better now? Do you need me to call a royal physician to see you?"
Reading Notes
1: The voices that can be heard are only the conversations between the heroine and the system, not all the voices.
2: No one can talk about their inner thoughts in front of the heroine, otherwise it will be suffocating. But they can talk about the heroine's inner thoughts with other people.
3: If you have CP, please exit in the upper left corner if you mind.
4: The author has a sensitive heart. If you are not satisfied, you can criticize him in a civilized manner, but please do not criticize him.
5: There is no perfect novel. Those who pursue perfection will quickly retreat.
6: Because everyone has controversy about the name of the country, Yuan Dynasty, the author considered and decided to change it to Daxia, and the emperor is still called Emperor Yuan.
7: The protection mechanism is available and will appear later (everything the system says can be heard)
8: The system is a melon-eating system, which does not mean that it can know everything that happened before. The person being eaten needs to know the name or see the face.
