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

"Your Majesty, wait a minute." Jiang Yueyang called out to Emperor Yuan who was about to return to the palace.

Emperor Yuan turned around and looked at her when he heard the voice.

Jiang Yueyang pointed at the sports bracelet on his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't returned my things to me yet."

Emperor Yuan looked at her speechlessly for a while, and finally extended his hand to her.

Jiang Yueyang immediately stepped forward to remove the bracelet, and said with a grin, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell. May your Majesty take care."

After Emperor Yuan and others left, Jiang Yueyang turned around and returned to Lanyue Pavilion.

Gu Ruo and the others had not returned yet, and her aunt was entertaining them on her behalf.

"Sister Qiao, when will you introduce us to your newly found sister? I really want to see how much you two look alike."

"Maybe after a while. She still can't accept her past. By the way, how is your sister-in-law?"

Gu Ruo's expression changed slightly. "Just like that, his hand was broken, and he was driven to the farm."

Tutor Gu is still a very fair person, not to mention that Gu Yuwei still wants to harm his granddaughter.

"That's good too. I won't be around to cause you any trouble."

"Let's not talk about her." Gu Ruo looked at Qiao Xi with a smile, "Sister Qiao, how is your marriage going?"

Jiang Yueyang just happened to come back at this time. She stepped over the threshold and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

"We're talking about Sister Qiao's marriage."

Jiang Yueyang sat down next to Song Xihe and asked, "Which young master did Duke Su choose for you?"

"No, my father is anxious to cultivate a relationship with my sister recently and has no time to deal with my marriage."

Gu Ruo looked down at her face and keenly sensed something different. "No, why are you blushing?"

Hearing this, Wen Shuyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "When the assassin tried to kill His Majesty earlier, the Dali Temple Shaoqing saved our sister Qiao."

"Oh~" The girls present looked at her jokingly.

Qiao Xi didn't hesitate and asked directly, "What do you think of him?"

"Who is this guy?" Gu Ruo teased her deliberately.

Qiao Xi glared at her in disapproval, then looked at Jiang Yueyang and asked, "Yueyang, what do you think of Qin Shi?"

"Oh, you don't even call me Master Qin anymore."

"Gu Ruo, if you say that again, I'll get angry." Qiao Xi blushed and puffed up her cheeks.

"Okay, stop teasing her." Wen Shuyan came out to smooth things over.

Afterwards, all the girls present looked at Jiang Yueyang, because her evaluation was very important.

Jiang Yueyang curled the corners of her mouth and said, "I think Mr. Qin is quite good. He is emotionally stable and good-looking."

System: [Host, aren't you planning to introduce Qin Shi to your aunt?]

[Plans can't keep up with changes. Since Sister Qiao is interested in Qin Shi, I can't bring this up with my aunt.]

After hearing this, everyone was sure that Qin Shiren was a good person.

After all, if Qin Shi wasn't a good person, Yue Yang wouldn't have thought of introducing him to her family.

Song Xihe had an impression of Qin Shi, but for some reason, she didn't seem to have any feelings for him.

Qin Shi is also very good-looking, right?

Could it be that... I only have feelings for good-looking bad guys?

No……

Thinking of this, Song Xihe suddenly felt a little unwell.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Jiang Yueyang asked, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Song Xihe waved his hands and said through gritted teeth: "I'm fine!"

Jiang Yueyang felt that she didn't look well, but didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, the girls talked about marriage for a long time.

It was not until sunset that they went home.

Jiang Yueyang began to open the gifts, and the first one she opened was the one from Lu Yunting.

As soon as the box was opened, she paused.

System: [Hmm? Isn't this the pistol the host lost last time? Turns out Lu Yunting picked it up.]

There was a piece of paper under the pistol. Jiang Yueyang reached out and pulled out the paper and unfolded it to read.

Written in strong handwriting on it were the words: Keep it carefully and don't lose it again. Um... Yesterday I went to "Miaoyin Pavilion" to investigate my father's death.

Is he... explaining this to me?

Jiang Yueyang picked up the pistol and stared at it mysteriously.

Why did Lu Yunting's moves against the assassin yesterday look so similar to the man in black who saved him last time?

System: [Host, what are you thinking about? ]

Jiang Yueyang shook his head and then threw the pistol into the system space.

Then she picked up a cloth bag from the box, which contained an exquisite pear blossom hairpin.

With surprise flashing in her eyes, Jiang Yueyang walked to the bronze mirror with the hairpin in hand, put it on clumsily, and asked, "Little melon, does it look good?"

[Mm, it looks good. Even if the host wears a pile of shit on his face, it will still look good.]

Jiang Yueyang: "...Is there anyone who praises others like you? Forget it, I'm happy today, so I won't bother with you."

She admired herself in front of the bronze mirror for a long time before sitting down again to continue opening her gifts.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave her a complete set of jewelry, which also included a white jade hairpin.

System: [This hairpin the prince gave me is also very beautiful and looks very expensive.]

"It's okay, but I think I like the pear flower style better."

Jiang Yueyang closed the box and put it aside. The system clearly sensed her different treatment.

"By the way, which gift did Ye Wuhen send?"

[It's the square box at your feet.]

Seeing that the box was quite large, Jiang Yueyang squatted down and opened it. Inside were two pots of flowers that she didn't recognize.

"what is this flower?"

[The flower on the host's left is called the "Seven Star Flower," and it blooms only once every three years. It always has only seven leaves, and each time it blooms, it will only produce seven flowers, no more, no less. Be careful, the leaves are highly poisonous, but the petals can cure all poisons.]

Jiang Yueyang was about to reach out to touch the leaves, but he quickly retracted his hand.

[The one on the right is called the "Five-Color Flower." Its petals come in five different colors, and each color has a different medicinal effect. For example, the white petals can cause paralysis.]

Jiang Yueyang was puzzled, "Why did Ye Wuhen give me this?"

[A show of sincerity? These two flowers are even rarer than the two plants Gu Yuwei used to poison her. There are probably no more than five of them in this world. Furthermore, they cannot be cultivated.]

"Oh~ Two big babies."

***

The next day, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Yuan ordered the confiscation of property and execution of most of the officials in the Foundry Department, and demoted the Minister of Works.

The reason was that when General Zhang Zhiyuan went to collect the weapons, he found that most of them were of inferior quality.

Upon investigation, it was found that officials from the Foundry Department had colluded to enrich themselves and cut corners.

Jiang Yueyang opened her mouth and let out a long breath, her face full of fatigue. She was too excited last night and didn't sleep well.

"Little melon, I'm going to take a nap. Please keep an eye on me. If His Majesty calls on me, remember to call me."

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Emperor Yuan glanced at her and saw Jiang Yueyang was already fast asleep with her eyes closed.

Considering her good performance yesterday, Emperor Yuan looked away and pretended not to see it, and even lowered his voice a little.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yueyang was awakened by an angry shout.

"Wen Zhiyuan, you are so outrageous!"
