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

Chapter 403 No wonder everyone wants to become a monk

"Brother, who is that sister?"

While on the street, Jiang Yueyang wanted to invite the girl next to her brother to get in the car and get to know her.

Unexpectedly, her brother was very protective of her and didn't allow her to talk to other girls. He even drove her away.

Since her brother said she could ask anything she wanted after returning, she decided to go back for the time being.

She waited in Shuiyunjian for half an hour before her brother came back.

As soon as her brother stepped over the threshold, she couldn't wait to go up to him and ask him.

Jiang Xun walked in and replied, "Bo Ling Cui family, Cui Shiyue."

"So she's from a wealthy family." Jiang Yueyang followed Jiang Xun closely. "Brother, are you attracted to her?"

Jiang Xun walked over to the Arhat couch, sat down, picked up the teapot on the low table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip from the teacup, and hummed softly.

Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise and excitement: "Brother, you actually admitted it so readily!"

"There's nothing to hide."

"Then why did you lie to me then?"

As soon as Jiang Xun heard it, he knew she was talking about the time when Miss Gu Ruo was chosen as the Crown Princess and she came to inquire about his feelings.

He said calmly, "I wasn't sure of my feelings at that time."

Jiang Xun was only seven years old when he and Cui Shiyue parted ways, and he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for her.

Until he saw her again, the warm joy and throbbing in his heart made him realize that he liked her!

Jiang Yueyang held her chin with both hands and asked with a gossipy look, "How far have things progressed between Brother and Sister Cui? Has she expressed her feelings?"

“Never…ever.”

"Ah?" Jiang Yueyang was slightly disappointed.

She had thought that since her brother had admitted his feelings so straightforwardly, progress wouldn't be too slow.

Unexpectedly, he still hasn't expressed his feelings.

Jiang Yueyang reminded him, "Brother, you better hurry up. If you keep taking your time like this, you'll regret it later if someone gets there first."

"I know."

"You know, but you're not taking action?" Jiang Yueyang looked disappointed. "We've already arranged for everyone to come out, but there's no progress at all."

Jiang Xun: “…”

At this moment, Jiang Yueyang suddenly thought of something, looked at Jiang Xun worriedly and asked, "Brother, does Sister Cui... like you?"

"I think... I like it."

"Should?" Jiang Yueyang shook her head pessimistically, "Brother, I now suspect that you have unrequited love."

Jiang Xun picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. "Dispel your doubts. I, your brother, can feel the feedback. She has me in her heart!"

"Then brother, why don't you quickly make her my sister-in-law."

"Wait, it won't be long."

As night fell, Ye Wuhen climbed over the wall and entered. His movements were light and agile, as if he had merged into the darkness.

After landing quietly, he walked straight towards the lighted house. When he passed by Guyu, he raised an eyebrow.

Guyu really wanted to stretch out his foot and trip the person, but he held back.

As soon as he entered, Ye Wuhen smelled the long-lost smell of hot pot. Then, the next second he saw Jiang Yueyang eating hot pot.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked over and sat down next to Jiang Yueyang.

Seeing an empty set of bowls and chopsticks on the table, he knew it was prepared for him.

"I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time." Ye Wuhen picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat in the pot.

"I guessed you'd come tonight, and I happen to be craving hotpot." Jiang Yueyang said as she put beef rolls into the pot. "I wasn't sure when you'd come, so I ate first. Did Sinong Siqing come to see you?"

Ye Wuhen hummed in response, "I found it. The Duke of England also came to ask about macadamia nuts."

Jiang Yueyang nodded. "I bought some fruit seedlings at the mall. Find a suitable opportunity to sell them to the Minister of Agriculture. Don't take out too many at once, or it will arouse suspicion."

"I'll do the job, don't worry." Ye Wuhen took off the space ring on his hand and gave it to her.

But in an instant, Jiang Yueyang transferred everything in the system space into the space ring.

Seeing that she had finished, Ye Wuhen put the ring back on. He took a closer look and saw that there were not only fruit seedlings but also various nuts inside.

After a while, Ye Wuhen asked hesitantly, "Miss Song's matter... don't you have anything to say?"

"for example?"

Ye Wuhen knew she knew about Miss Song's confession to him as soon as he heard it, and said calmly: "For example, tell me how good Miss Song is, and that feelings can be cultivated. If I don't like her now, maybe I will like her in the future. Let me try to be with her and see."

"Why am I saying this?" Her voice was calm, yet it carried a firmness that was hard to ignore. "Relationships can't be forced, and I won't influence your decision.

Although you are my family, you are also my friend. I hope that you can find your own happiness instead of just being together."

Ye Wuhen was shocked, then he smiled and said "oh".

The next day, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The prince ordered someone to bring in a piece of ice, indicating that he had fully mastered the technique of making ice. From then on, Daxia would have enough ice to use all year round, and it could also increase the income of the court.

Civil and military officials sighed that Daxia will become more and more prosperous and powerful, and the lives of the people will get better and better!

Emperor Yuan also expressed his appreciation for the Crown Prince and others, and informed all civil and military officials that the method of making ice was proposed by Jiang Yueyang, and they would receive 20% of the profits from the ice.

Civil and military officials had no objection to this.

Afterwards, Emperor Yuan wanted the monks of the Huguo Temple to come out on the Lantern Festival to pray for the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle.

Civil and military officials had no objection to asking eminent monks to chant sutras for the deceased to liberate him from the afterlife.

However, speaking of the monks in Huguo Temple, an official came out and said that the number of monks in Huguo Temple is increasing year by year, and most of them are young and middle-aged people with working ability. It is suggested to reduce the number of monks in Huguo Temple and let some monks return to secular life.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Some officials felt that this move was inappropriate, believing that the Huguo Temple was a holy place of Buddhism, where people prayed for the people and chanted sutras for the stability of the country. Reducing the number of monks might damage the country's fortune.

Some officials also believed that there were too many monks nowadays, and the Buddhist land they owned was leased to the people for cultivation without having to pay taxes.

Just chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha's name every day can make you worry-free about food and clothing. It's no wonder that everyone wants to become a monk with such treatment.

The implication is that there may be lazy, cunning and deceitful people among them, and the court’s resources should not be used to support parasites.

In this way, civil and military officials launched a heated discussion on whether to reduce the number of monks in Huguo Temple.

Jiang Yueyang had no intention of participating in their discussion. After glancing at Minister Jiang, who agreed to reduce the number of monks, he proactively said to the system, "Little melon, eat melon, eat melon."
