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

After hearing this, Jiang Yueyang secretly looked at Emperor Yuan's expression. Seeing that his eyes were dark and his face was not gentle at all, she felt that now was not the time to talk about marriage.

She withdrew her gaze and looked down at the bright yellow robe swaying as Emperor Yuan walked.

[Xiaogua, although His Majesty just said some cruel words to the Queen Mother, he is a filial son after all.

I think... he probably wouldn't let me get married during the mourning period, as it would be disrespectful to the Queen Mother.] Her voice unconsciously lowered, furtive.

The system didn't care. "How do you know he won't agree if you don't ask? The emperor still values ​​the host very much."

Besides, he set your wedding date, how could he change it so easily? As an emperor, every word and action has a huge impact on the country, and changing one's mind overnight is a taboo! I think he might agree.

[Will it?] Jiang Yueyang quietly raised her eyelids and glanced at Emperor Yuan's profile.

Without waiting for the system to reply, she hurriedly said, "No, no, the Empress Dowager isn't dead yet! If I ask this now, His Majesty will surely think I'm hoping for her death."

[How could that be? The host clearly hopes for her death to be delayed, preferably after you and Lu Yunting are married.]

Upon hearing this, the left prime minister and Lord Wei both thought: Isn't it still death if you die later?

Jiang Yueyang was overjoyed, [Yes, if the Queen Mother had died later, all the problems would have been solved!]

"Host, do you think you're a god in heaven? Can you delay others' death if you want?!" The system poured cold water on her.

Is there a God in heaven?

system:【……】

This focus... is amazing.

Perhaps sensing the system's silence, Jiang Yueyang coughed awkwardly and brought the subject back to the topic.

【Wouldn't the green petals extend her life? 】

[Yes? But are you willing to do it?] The system's answer was straightforward and to the point.

Jiang Yueyang looked conflicted. She couldn't bear to part with it because there were only three green petals.

Using it on the Empress Dowager is such a waste of resources!

The system knew she was reluctant to give up when it saw her struggling expression, and said again: [Host, please try to find a solution with the Emperor. You have already paid too much for your marriage. You can't just keep giving endlessly without any reward.]

These words were the system's way of pointing out the emperor, and also the system's way of protecting its host.

At this time, the Left Prime Minister suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what I told you yesterday concerns our country and the well-being of the people. I ask Your Majesty to consider it carefully and not lose the hearts of me and the people."

Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Jiang Yueyang behind him. He knew what the Left Prime Minister meant.

If he wants to use Jiang Yueyang's knife, he must take good care of it and never let her feel disappointed.

Hearing the Left Prime Minister's words, Jiang Yueyang asked curiously: [What did the Left Prime Minister and His Majesty talk about? ]

[It must be a national issue.] The system's answer was so vague that it was almost the same as not answering at all.

[Of course I know it's a national issue. What I'm asking is...]

"Jiang Yueyang." Emperor Yuan suddenly spoke, interrupting her private communication with the system.

"Ah?" Jiang Yueyang responded instinctively.

"I have chosen an auspicious date for you and Lu Yunting. Did he tell you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang slowly opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of surprise. She never expected that Emperor Yuan would take the initiative to bring up this matter with her, especially under such circumstances.

She was so surprised that she was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, the Left Prime Minister reminded him, "Master Xiao Jiang, His Majesty is asking you a question, don't just stand there."

"Oh, oh." Jiang Yueyang came back to his senses, "Your Majesty, he told me yesterday."

"So, do you think August 12th is a good date?"

"Your Majesty has chosen an excellent day. I also think it is excellent. However, now..."

Jiang Yueyang didn't finish her words, but everyone present understood what she meant.

"Whatever date suits you best," Emperor Yuan said, looking calmly ahead. "I'll leave your wedding arrangements to the Ministry of Rites. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak to the Minister of Rites."

Jiang Yueyang asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, do you mean the wedding date remains unchanged?"

"What? Do you want to change?" Emperor Yuan turned his head to look at her.

"No, no, no." Jiang Yueyang waved her hands quickly, "August 12th is a great date, no need to change it."

Emperor Yuan hummed, "I wanted to let you marry out of the palace before, but now it's not possible."

Jiang Yueyang nodded, "I understand."

"It will be inconvenient for me to be there that day," Emperor Yuan said, glancing sideways at the two people on the other side. "Please, my two beloved ministers, go there for me."

The two of them bowed and replied "yes".

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother threw a tantrum and drove out the Queen and others. Only Guo Yuanzheng and Gu Ling'er stayed in accordance with Emperor Yuan's order.

Seeing that the two men refused to leave, the Queen Mother pointed at them and angrily shouted, "You too, get out of here!"

Gu Linger narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression suddenly became a little colder.

She is not a person in the palace who can be insulted by others. From childhood to adulthood, no one has dared to point at her nose and tell her to get out!

So she snorted coldly and turned away.

Seeing this, Guo Yuanzheng hurriedly walked in front of her and stopped her, "Miss Ling'er, where are you going?"

"go home!"

"Your Majesty asked you and me to stay here to look after the Queen Mother."

Gu Ling'er crossed her arms and raised her chin slightly. "I'm not the imperial physician of your Imperial Hospital, so I have no obligation to stay. Besides, they told us to get out, so why would we stay? Are we asking for trouble?"

As soon as Guo Yuanzheng heard it, he knew that she was angry, and he didn't know how to calm her down.

"I don't care if you want to scold me, but I won't tolerate that." Gu Linger waved her hand, "That's it, no need to send me off."

Guo Yuanzheng: “…”

He gave me a hammer!

He is just a foil. If she leaves, what's the point of him staying?

Getting scolded?

Thinking of this, Guo Yuanzheng chased after her again and said, "Miss Ling'er, please don't leave. I can't live without you."

Hearing this, Gu Linger immediately hugged herself, took a few steps away from Guo Yuanzheng, and looked at him like a lecher.

Seeing her look, Guo Yuanzheng realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I didn't mean anything else. I meant that I can't handle the Empress Dowager's illness alone."

"I can't do it either." Gu Ling'er took another step.

"Miss Ling'er, I beg you!"

"There's no point in begging me."

"Miss Ling'er." Guo Yuanzheng rushed over and hugged Gu Ling'er's feet, "Don't leave!"

Gu Linger: “…”

Later, the Empress Dowager and the head aunt of Shoukang Palace were stunned when they saw Guo Yuanzheng's shocking behavior.

What is he doing?

Gu Linger pulled her feet hard and gritted her teeth, "Guo Yuanzheng, let go."

"I'll let you go if you promise to stay."

Gu Linger was embarrassed and annoyed. She twitched her feet again and raised her voice, saying, "If you don't let go, I won't be polite!"

Guo Yuanzheng refused to let go, and said with a sad face: "Miss Ling'er, you are the only one who can help the Queen Mother with her illness. Please pity me and stay."

The Queen Mother calmed down immediately after hearing what Guo Yuanzheng said. She didn't want to die yet, and she couldn't die.

Only if she is alive can she and her son come back.

"Guo Yuanzheng, do you have any shame?"

"What's the point of having dignity when your head is about to be lost?"

"Let go."

"If you stay, I'll let you go."

Finally, Gu Linger was defeated by Guo Yuanzheng's shamelessness, "Alright, alright, I'll stay."

Guo Yuanzheng immediately let go of his hand and stood up with a playful smile.

At this moment, the Queen Mother said in a deep voice: "Guo Yuanzheng, you two come here."

Hearing the voice, the two turned around and looked at the Queen Mother.

"I want to live."
