Chapter 148: Ok, Ok, finally a brain has grown
To vent her unhappiness, Jiang Yueyang shouted in her heart: [Tell me loudly, who is the most beautiful person in this hall today?]
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Civil and military officials: "..."
The system responded loudly in response to her question: [Master Liu Liu Liu Liu!]
The adults with the surname Liu all shook their bodies, and all the gods bowed to them instantly.
Emperor Yuan's heart dropped heavily to the ground, and he happily took out a purse from his sleeve.
Inside were the pine nuts he had snatched from the third prince yesterday, all shelled.
He picked up a few pine nuts and put them in his mouth, his eyes sweeping over the beloved ministers surnamed Liu one by one.
Who is the unlucky guy?
The third prince saw his father cracking pine nuts while eating melon, and he became angry when he thought about how his pine nuts had been stolen and he was forced to peel them.
In a fit of anger, he took out some walnut kernels and started eating them, and also stuffed a few pieces into the prince's mouth.
The Duke of England saw the father and son eating secretly, and thought that he would bring some snacks tomorrow.
Your Majesty eats it himself, so you would feel embarrassed to punish me, right?
Jiang Yueyang asked: [Which Lord Liu?]
The adults surnamed Liu all held their breath at the same time, "Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it..."
[Mr. Liu, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!]
As soon as these words were spoken, a certain adult named Liu couldn't help but shout out with joy.
"what……"
Jiang Yueyang was startled, and then looked at the colleague who screamed inexplicably in confusion.
Emperor Yuan was also frightened and some of the pine nuts in his hand fell to the ground.
He glanced at the pine nuts on the ground and glared angrily at Lord Liu who had screamed.
Lord Liu, overjoyed, came out and knelt, "I have disturbed Your Majesty. Please punish me!"
Emperor Yuan was very angry, but in order not to delay the process of eating melons, he could only wave his hand and said: "Deduct half a year's salary!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yueyang retracted her gaze and said to the system: [Half a year's salary is gone just like that. How tragic.]
[Living with a king is like living with a tiger, just get used to it.]
Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: Haha... Can he be as miserable as me?
The punished Lord Liu: It’s not too bad, not too bad. As long as Lord Xiao Jiang doesn’t eat my melons, I’ll be happy even if I’m fined for a year!
Who still expects to live on that salary?
He would have starved to death long ago!
Jiang Yueyang yawned, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's just eat some melons."
Emperor Yuan immediately sat up straight and finally started his main work for the day.
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel closed his eyes resignedly and said, "Come on, it's not a big deal. Everyone has embarrassing moments!"
[Alright!] The system voice said cheerfully, [Master Liu developed sleepwalking at the beginning of the year. His sleepwalking is somewhat different from ordinary sleepwalking.]
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was puzzled, "Do I have sleepwalking?"
Emperor Yuan was a little disappointed when he heard about sleepwalking. Doesn’t this sound like a very embarrassing thing?
All the civil and military officials felt unbalanced, especially those who had been eaten by melons before. How different could their sleepwalking be?
It seems that the melon today is not very delicious!
Jiang Yueyang: [What's the difference?]
His sleepwalking symptoms only occur at certain times, on the first and fifteenth nights of every lunar month.
[Choosing a date is really pretentious.]
Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: “…”
Emperor Yuan happily ate pine nuts and secretly echoed, "Pretentious!"
The system hummed in agreement. [Not only is his illness pretentious, it's also bizarre and creepy.]
[What do you mean?] Jiang Yueyang immediately asked.
Hearing the word "creepy", Emperor Yuan put down the pine nuts in his hand. He responded to the ministers' words in a disjointed manner while listening carefully.
Those officials who were multitasking also slowed down the speed and volume of their reports, trying their best to hear Jiang Yueyang's thoughts clearly.
The system said: [On the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, Lord Liu would go to the Huang's Paper Horse Shop in the city at night to buy linen clothes and paper money.]
Jiang Yueyang's eyes were full of confusion, and Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials were also bewildered.
The person behind Guo Yuanzheng patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Guo Yuanzheng, would someone still buy things when they have a sleepwalking attack?"
"Normally not."
The system continued: [The owner of the paper horse shop didn't dare to wake Master Liu and tried to lead him away. But Master Liu kept talking about hemp clothes and paper money and refused to leave.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to give Master Liu a set of linen clothes and some paper money. The amazing thing was that after receiving the paper money and linen clothes, Master Liu paid for them before leaving!
Emperor Yuan looked at the confused Right Vice Minister of Personnel and thought, "He's pretending! His sleepwalking must be fake!"
Why did he pretend to have sleepwalking?
Is it conveying some message?
Jiang Yueyang also felt that Lord Liu was pretending to be sick, but she couldn't be 100% sure.
So, she tentatively asked: [Xiaogua, is it possible that his sleepwalking is fake?]
[No, he really does have sleepwalking.]
[That's really weird.]
The system laughed heartily. [That's why I said his sleepwalking is so weird!]
Emperor Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the pine nuts he had put down earlier and started eating again.
But it was gone after I ate just a few.
He glanced down casually and saw the Third Prince's mouth puffed up. Then he winked at Li Fuquan.
Li Fuquan immediately tiptoed to the side of the Third Prince and said, "Third Prince, His Majesty wants what you have in your hand."
The Third Prince quickly glanced at Emperor Yuan, then rolled his eyes and said, "Tell my father that this is something Jiang Yueyang gave me to nourish my brain. If my father needs it, I will offer it to him with both hands."
After thinking about it, Li Fuquan tiptoed back to Emperor Yuan and repeated to him exactly what the third prince had said.
Emperor Yuan understood the hidden meaning of the Third Prince's words and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
If he were to take his things, it would be a disguised admission that he needed to supplement his brain.
Good, good, finally a brain has grown.
When the third prince saw that Li Fuquan did not come down, he instantly understood Jiang Yueyang's happiness.
It turns out that it feels so good to humiliate your father in front of him and have him be unable to do anything to you!
Over there, Jiang Yueyang was silent for a moment before asking, "I get it, weird, but what about the creepy thing you're talking about?"
After buying the linen clothes and paper money, Master Liu returned home. He put on the linen clothes and took the paper money with him, then wandered outside his parents' room at night.
Jiang Yueyang opened her mouth and asked in disbelief: [Isn't he going to burn paper money in front of the door of his parents' room?]
