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

The next day at dawn, the moon was high in the sky and Jiang Yueyang was still asleep. Xiangling yawned and pushed the door open.

Since she was two years old and followed Jiang Yueyang, she had never gotten up so early. She was just woken up by Qingzhi.

Last night, Minister Jiang specifically asked Qingzhi to wake Jiang Yueyang up because he knew his daughter too well and knew she would definitely not be able to get up.

Xiangling reached out and gently shook Jiang Yueyang on the bed, "Miss, it's time to get up."

Jiang Yueyang frowned and turned over instinctively, showing no intention of waking up.

"Miss, if you don't get up now, you'll be late for court."

Xiangling yawned again after she finished speaking. Both the master and the servant felt very sleepy.

The two words "attending court" seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and Jiang Yueyang suddenly opened his eyes.

She stared upwards for a long time without moving her eyes, and suddenly wailed with despair.

"Ah...what's going on? I never got up this early when I was working!"

Xiangling patted her cheeks to sober herself up a little, "Miss, get up. I will help you wash and change your clothes."

"No, I'm late, so I'm late. It just so happens that I don't want to be an official and go to court." Jiang Yueyang closed his eyes willfully.

[Host, your father probably wouldn't let this happen.] The system warned.

Jiang Yueyang: "..."

Jiang Yueyang silently opened her eyes and sat up. She was stunned for a while before she got out of bed helplessly.

Because there was no official uniform, Jiang Yueyang still wore her own clothes.

I didn't dress up in any special way today, just like any other day.

She had just finished getting ready when Minister Jiang came to her with breakfast.

When he saw Jiang Yueyang looked like she was still sleepy, he couldn't bear to watch and shook his head.

"Didn't I tell you to rest early yesterday?"

Jiang Yueyang closed his eyes and replied, "Dad, going to bed early doesn't necessarily mean you can get up early."

Minister Jiang: “…”

Because the court session in Daxia was early, Minister Jiang usually had breakfast in the carriage.

As soon as the father and daughter got on the carriage, Minister Jiang took out a plate of meat patties and a plate of meat buns from the food box, as well as two bamboo tubes of rice soup.

The father and daughter ate their breakfast in silence, thoroughly practicing the rule of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping.

After both of them had eaten their fill, Minister Jiang wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Follow me when you go in. Don't look around, but look down at your feet. Once you're in the hall, if His Majesty asks you a question, step out and answer. If not, keep your mouth shut."

It’s best to close your heart too.

But this is impossible. His daughter likes to talk to that kid when she has nothing to do.

Until now, he still doesn't know what a small melon is.

"I understand." Jiang Yueyang responded in a bad mood.

I don't know how long the court session will take. I'm so tired from standing all the time.

System: [Based on the time your father usually takes to get home from court, it usually takes about 3 to 5 hours.]

Jiang Yueyang's face turned bitter in an instant. [It's been so long? I don't know if I can rest, go to the bathroom, or eat something during this time.]

Ask your father.

Minister Jiang: Don’t Q! He doesn’t want to answer those questions.

Jiang Yueyang turned her head to look at her father, but Minister Jiang avoided her gaze calmly.

[Forget it, if I ask my dad, he will definitely pull my ears.]

Just like that, before they knew it, the carriage stopped and they had arrived at the palace gate.

At this time, many carriages had been parked here, and the adults were being inspected by the guards.

They will only let you go after confirming that you don’t have any prohibited items.

As soon as the Jiang family's carriage appeared, many people noticed it, and they were all curious about Jiang Yueyang.

I was curious about what was so special about her that His Majesty insisted on granting her an official position despite the opposition of the court officials.

Jiang Yueyang was the first to get off the carriage, and then she helped her father down out of filial piety.

Among the all-white official uniforms, there was a little girl in a skirt, it was impossible not to attract attention.

Those who had not noticed it before also saw it now.

An adult who was on good terms with Minister Jiang came up to greet him, "Good morning, Minister. Is this your daughter?"

Minister Jiang nodded slightly, "My daughter is Yue Yang. Yang Yang, this is Lord Wang, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Yue Yang greets Lord Wang."

Lord Wang smiled and nodded. "I heard from the Minister that you've been in poor health since childhood. Are you feeling better now?"

Jiang Yueyang looked at her father when he heard that. Minister Jiang curled his lips awkwardly and said, "It's getting late. It's time for us to go in."

After saying this, without waiting for Lord Wang's reaction, Minister Jiang took his daughter and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

After successfully passing through the palace gate, they walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony where government meetings were held.

Along the way, many people greeted Minister Jiang, and many people silently looked at Jiang Yueyang beside him.

After finally arriving at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they could not enter immediately. They had to wait for Emperor Yuan to arrive and then line up according to their official rank to enter.

However, they didn't have to wait long, because Emperor Yuan was also eager to meet Jiang Yueyang.

The eunuch came out to inform the adults to enter the hall, and Jiang Yueyang followed closely behind her father.

In the main hall, Emperor Yuan had already sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes following Jiang Yueyang's steps.

After all the civil and military officials had settled in, Emperor Yuan spoke: "Minister Lin, I heard that you fainted yesterday. If you're not feeling well, you can rest at home. Don't force yourself to come to court."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."

"That's good." Emperor Yuan turned his gaze and saw the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. "Didn't Qin Aiqing take two days off? Why are you here today?"

Qin Shi: "I have finished dealing with my family affairs and now I am here to attend the court."

That being said, the real reason why he came to court was that he heard that Jiang Yueyang would come to court with Minister Jiang today.

He wanted to clarify the doubts in his heart.

Emperor Yuan didn't ask any more questions. After glancing at the courtiers below, he added, "I see that there are more people attending court today than ever before. This is truly rare!"

There are indeed a lot more people coming today, even the military generals who usually don’t attend court very often came.

At this time, the Right Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Governor of Xizhou has reported that the county under his jurisdiction has been raining continuously for over a month, causing severe flooding and the crops are in danger of being completely destroyed. He has requested a one-year tax exemption."

Emperor Yuan: "It can be approved after the facts are confirmed."

The Right Prime Minister glanced at Jiang Yueyang, who had been standing behind Minister Jiang with her head lowered, and said, "I've heard that Minister Jiang's daughter is very knowledgeable. I'd like to ask, in the face of sudden natural disasters, how can we better minimize the losses among the people and avoid casualties?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Jiang Yueyang.

Jiang Yueyang, who was dozing off secretly with his eyes closed, didn't react at all.

After a while, seeing that she still had no reaction, the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

Minister Jiang was so anxious that he took a step back and stepped on her foot.

"Oh! Which bastard stepped on me!" Jiang Yueyang screamed in pain.
