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

"You...what do you mean?"

Lin Susu got up from the ground, and Qin Shi subconsciously stood in front of Jiang Yueyang.

"Qin Shi, are you trying to force me to death? Fine, I'll do it..."

"Miss Lin." Qin Shi interrupted her, "This is the Dali Temple. It will not do you any good to make too much trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Susu glanced sideways at the onlookers. She was wearing a veil and no one knew who she was.

Even if someone guesses her identity, she can deny it.

But if things really get out of hand, we won’t be able to hide it.

After thinking it over, Lin Susu said weakly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now. Please consider our past relationship and cancel the engagement in two months, leaving me a way out."

Qin Shi was unmoved, "I'm not the one you should apologize to."

Lin Susu clenched her fists, hating Jiang Yueyang in her heart. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be in this situation today.

She couldn't apologize to Jiang Yueyang!

So she pushed Qin Shi, turned around and ran away without looking back.

Minister Jiang and Qingzhi, who had just gone to the bathroom, happened to see this scene when they came out. They were very perceptive and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Minister Jiang quickly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

"Girl, your hand is bleeding."

The two men present looked over, and Jiang Yueyang also looked down at the scratch on his wrist.

"Why are you hurt?"

Minister Jiang's eyes were filled with heartache. His daughter had been raised under their care since she was a child and had never been hurt.

At most, she was just hit on the head by her brother. How painful must it be to be injured like this!

Jiang Yueyang explained: "I don't know what Lin Susu went crazy for just now. She rushed over and knocked me down. I think that's when she got hurt. Don't worry, Dad. It doesn't hurt."

Minister Jiang felt even more distressed when he heard her say that.

He flicked his sleeves and angrily said, "You are so lawless. Do you think my Jiang family is easy to bully?"

"Sir Shangshu, I'm sorry. This is all because of me. I failed to protect Miss Jiang."

Minister Jiang opened his mouth and said, "It's your fault. If it weren't for you, my daughter wouldn't have been hurt."

But before he could finish his words, Jiang Yueyang waved her hand and said, "It's none of your business. This isn't the first time Lin Susu has gone mad at me. I've never understood why she's so full of hatred towards me. I've only met her once, let alone had any grudges against her."

Hearing this, the three people present felt guilty.

Minister Jiang cleared his throat and said, "Yangyang, the wound on your hand needs to be treated. Dad will take you to Jishitang."

"I have..."

"It's a minor injury. You don't need to go to Jishiditang. Just go home and apply some medicine."

"Then let's go home quickly."

"Um, here I am..."

Qin Shi wanted to say that he had medicine, but he couldn't get a word in.

"Lord Qin, I'm leaving first. No need to see me off." Minister Jiang said as he pulled Jiang Yueyang towards his own carriage.

Qin Shi watched them get on the carriage, then turned around and returned to the Dali Temple.

He wanted to go back and sort out the backlog of cases, and then find an opportunity to let Miss Jiang take a look at them next time.

We also need to investigate Mr. Wu's cheating in the imperial examination.

On the other hand, on the way home, Lin Susu was hit on the knee with a stone by someone, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Who, come out!"

At the corner, a black figure turned and left.

In the imperial palace at that time, Emperor Yuan asked the Secretary of the Central Secretariat to draft an imperial edict to confer Jiang Yueyang the rank of fifth-rank editor.

The imperial edict was then sent to the Menxia Province for review.

The official in charge of reviewing the imperial edict was the then left prime minister Wen Zhiyuan. After he briefly read the content, he picked up the seal and stamped it without thinking much.

Finally, the order would take effect after Emperor Yuan stamped it with the imperial seal.

Emperor Yuan was a little surprised when he saw the exclusive seal of the Menxia Province on the imperial edict.

He had thought that the old man Zuo Xiang would complain a lot, and he had prepared a lot of arguments in advance, but he didn't expect that he would pass it in one try.

"Li Fuquan, is the official uniform for the girl from the Jiang family ready?"

"Your Majesty, it has already been prepared."

The last time Minister Jiang and his wife came to the palace, the Empress asked about Jiang Yueyang's size.

Emperor Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "To prevent any further complications, Li Fuquan, go to the Jiang family immediately to announce the decree."

"promise."

The fact that he could ask the chief eunuch to announce the decree in person shows that Emperor Yuan attaches great importance to Jiang Yueyang.

At this time, at the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xun heard that their daughter (sister) was injured, and they all rushed to Lanyue Pavilion anxiously.

When they arrived, Xiangling was applying medicine to Jiang Yueyang, while her father was hissing in pain for her.

"Mom, brother, why are you here?" Jiang Yueyang asked knowingly.

Mrs. Jiang said unhappily, "What do you think?"

Jiang Yueyang laughed and said, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. If you had come a little later, the injury on my hand would have almost healed."

Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but slap her when she heard that. "Stop smiling so playfully. A girl's hands are like her second face. What if they leave scars?"

"Don't worry, mother. It's just a flesh wound. It won't leave a scar."

Jiang Xun was not as exaggerated as his parents. He was relieved to see that his sister was fine.

But he also did not forget to ask: "Who hurt you?"

He asked who hurt her, not how.

Because he knew that although his sister was cheerful, she was always very careful and had never hurt herself.

What's more, his father and Qingzhi are with him.

Jiang Yueyang didn't hide it, "It's Lin Susu. By the way, brother, did someone in the Imperial College accuse you of plagiarizing someone else's poem?"

Jiang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you know?"

"Yes, indeed. Today in the court, a fat guy implied that you plagiarized. What's going on?"

"Nothing. It's just that a classmate who couldn't stand losing colluded with a few others and stole my poem. Then he falsely accused me of plagiarism. I handled it all."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang said with both heartache and complaint, "Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell us?"

Minister Jiang disagreed and said, "Whether you can solve it or not, you must tell your family if something goes wrong."

Jiang Xun felt the love of his parents and felt a little uncomfortable but also happy.

"I know...I know."

Jiang Yueyang looked at Jiang Xun with a smile on her face. Her brother was two years older than her, and because he was the older brother, he had taken good care of her since she was a child.

Even if her parents favor her, her brother will not be jealous. Instead, he will favor her together with her parents.

At this time, the housekeeper hurried to Lanyue Pavilion.

"Master, Madam, the eunuchs from the palace have come to the mansion with the imperial edict."

Minister Jiang and his wife looked at each other, and Jiang Yueyang secretly said that something was wrong.

[Little melon, little melon, this is bad. I feel like the imperial edict is about to grant me an official position. What should I do?]

【Cold salad. 】

Jiang Yueyang: [……]

The system realized the host was about to lose his temper, and quickly added, "Host, since you're here, make the best of it. There's nothing wrong with being an official. If you don't want to advance, you don't have to work hard. Just slack off every day. Besides, can you still disobey my orders?"

Jiang Yueyang wanted to cry. Her fourteen years of idle life ended today.

No matter how reluctant she was, she finally followed her parents to the front hall to receive the order.

The people who came to announce the decree were the chief eunuch Li Fuquan and two young eunuchs.

Li Fuquan glanced at everyone in the Jiang family and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has an order~"

Minister Jiang led everyone to kneel down.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims that the Jiang family has a daughter who is exceptionally intelligent, talented, and beautiful..."

The chief eunuch read out a bunch of words praising Jiang Yueyang, and ended with a sentence, "He is specially appointed as a fifth-rank editor, so ordered!"

After reading the imperial edict, Li Fuquan smiled and said to Jiang Yueyang, "Master Jiang, please accept the edict."

Jiang Yueyang hadn't adapted to her new identity yet and knelt without moving.

Minister Jiang couldn't help but push her when he saw her like that. "Accept my order."

Jiang Yueyang came back to her senses and raised her hands, "Your Majesty, I accept your command. Thank you for your grace. May our Great Xia prosper for thousands of years."

Li Fuquan placed the imperial edict in her hand and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, His Majesty has asked me to bring you a message."

"Father-in-law, please tell me."

"Your Majesty wishes Lord Xiao Jiang to attend court, regardless of weather, cold or heat, as long as his life is not in danger. Whether it is a large or small court meeting."

[Fuck! Your Majesty is so inhumane! Even the cows in the production team are not exploited like this.]
