Chapter 149: Is he really hoping that his parents will die?
As he burned paper money, he chanted, "Dad, Mom, take good care of yourself in the afterlife. I'll burn money for you whenever I have time. Burn lots of money so you can enjoy life in the afterlife."
When these words were spoken, Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials were stunned.
Jiang Yueyang had just arrived and didn't know much about the family situations of her colleagues.
Therefore, after hearing the system's words, Jiang Yueyang blurted out: "Master Liu looks only in his thirties. I didn't expect his parents to have passed away so early."
Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: “…”
puff!
【Hahaha……】
The system burst into laughter, and after more than a minute, it suppressed its laughter and said: [Host...Host, his parents are still alive and well.]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
[No.] Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. [What hatred or resentment? Is he just hoping his parents die?]
Civil and military officials: Isn't this extremely unfilial? What kind of child would wish their parents dead even when they fall asleep?
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel wanted to protest his innocence. He didn't even have time to love his parents, so how could he possibly wish for their death?
What exactly is going on?
You'll have to ask him personally.
Jiang Yueyang looked the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel up and down. "I'd like to ask, but I'm afraid of getting beaten."
【Then please listen to me continue.】
【besides? 】
[Of course.] The system continued, [At first, when Sir Liu's parents heard Sir Liu's mourning, they were afraid of encountering something dirty and didn't dare to go out to investigate.
When Lord Liu fell ill again and went to his parents' door to burn paper money and mourn, the couple bravely went out to see. When they saw that it was Lord Liu in mourning, they were almost mad with anger.
Jiang Yueyang spoke frankly: [Then the hemp clothes and paper money will come in handy, right?]
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that this was not a good idea and immediately clasped her hands together and said, "Sorry, sorry, I spoke too hastily. Please forgive me for any inconvenience. Master Liu, Madam Liu, I wish you a long life."
However, you should just give up on your son who sleepwalks and hopes you'll die.]
Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: ...I didn’t!
Emperor Yuan shook his head speechlessly. It was true that there were many strange things in the world.
Civil and military officials said they had seen sleepwalking before, but they had never seen such a strange kind of sleepwalking.
The system said: "Although the couple was very angry, they knew not to wake up a sleepwalker casually. So they stood there and watched him burn paper money and mourn.
Weeping is still for their funeral. 】
Hearing the latter part of the sentence, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I know I shouldn't laugh at this time, but I really can't help it.
I wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Liu felt at that moment? I really want to ask them what it felt like to hear their own son mourning for them. But unfortunately, it's difficult to ask.
The system was silent for a moment, then said weakly, "Host, you can try it yourself. Wait until night, pretend to sleepwalk into your parents' room, burn paper money and cry, and then ask them how they feel."
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Minister Jiang: ...I'm not dead yet?
Mr. Liu’s parents: We are not dead yet.
Emperor Yuan was immediately delighted and said, "This is possible. I approve it!"
Civil and military officials: I second the motion!
【Little melon! 】
The system immediately distanced itself from the matter, "Host, I don't want to do this. I can't control it."
Jiang Yueyang was silent for a moment, then said dejectedly: [Forget it, you continue.]
The next day, the couple asked Master Liu if he remembered what he had done the previous night. Master Liu said that he had just taken a bath and rested, and had no recollection of sleepwalking.
The couple was afraid that something might happen to Mr. Liu while he was sleepwalking, so they secretly followed him out when he had an attack.
Then it was discovered that Lord Liu went to the paper horse shop as if he was familiar with the place, and the owner of the paper horse shop gave Lord Liu the linen clothes and paper money as usual.
Later, the couple got used to Master Liu's mourning, and the owner of the paper horse shop also got used to placing linen clothes and paper money at the door after dark.
Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: So... this is why my parents asked me to wear clothes when I go to bed at night?
【Is that all?】
[That's it.] The system paused, [Host, today is the fifteenth.]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang slowly opened her eyes wide.
The eyes of all the civil and military officials lit up, and Emperor Yuan was already thinking about how to sneak out of the palace.
Why is it the fifteenth?
Or... bring the Queen along?
The third prince and the fifth prince looked at each other at the same time, and then grinned together.
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel swallowed his saliva and said, "When I get back, I'll have someone tie me up. No one is allowed to come and watch!"
After half an hour, the morning court ended.
As soon as Jiang Yueyang walked out of the hall, the palace maid beside the Queen came to ask her to move to Ning'an Palace.
Lu Yunting looked at the slender figure walking away step by step and sighed helplessly.
Then he turned and headed towards the palace gate.
***
Ning'an Palace.
As soon as Jiang Yueyang entered, she saw the Queen. Surprisingly, the Duchess of England was also there.
She bowed and said, "I greet the Empress and the Lady of the Duke of Ying."
"Master Xiao Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yueyang took her seat and looked at the Queen with a smile. "I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here?"
The Empress didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Last time, Lord Xiao Jiang gave me some durian, and I really liked it. I wonder if Lord Xiao Jiang could find some more for me?"
"I wonder how much the Queen wants?"
The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt Shang, and Aunt Shang immediately took a box in her hand and opened it in front of Jiang Yueyang.
Inside were ten gold ingots, about 100 taels of gold, or taels of silver.
Jiang Yueyang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, muttering to the system out of habit: "The Queen knows how to give money, she's a sensible person. If it were Your Majesty, he probably wouldn't get a single hair!"
System: [Be content. The emperor is so poor, it's a good thing he didn't ask you to donate money.]
The corners of the Queen's mouth twitched. What kind of image has His Majesty had in your eyes?
The Duchess of England smiled and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, I also want to taste the taste of durian. Could you find some for me?"
Jiang Yueyang was puzzled. "I remember I gave Madam a durian last time, but Madam didn't eat it?"
Upon hearing this, the Duchess of England immediately realized that she had let something slip.
However, as a master of the inner house, she reacted quickly and said with a smile, "It's that greedy guy in my house! I asked him to kneel on the durian, and he actually opened the durian and ate it for me!"
Jiang Yueyang twitched the corners of her mouth, then looked at the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, durian is not easy to preserve. If you buy so many, they might rot."
"Is that so?" The Empress pretended to think. "In that case, Lord Xiao Jiang, do you have any other fruit recommendations? I haven't had a good appetite lately, so I'd like to eat some fruit."
"If you have a poor appetite, you should eat cherry tomatoes, which are good for your appetite." Jiang Yueyang thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, can I use the gold to buy you a few more fruits? You can also eat a few more fruits."
"Of course that's good!"
At that time, on the other side, outside Emperor Yuan’s study.
Minister Jiang led several officials from the Ministry of Revenue and stood in front of Emperor Yuan, with dozens of boxes full of gold behind them.
"Jiang Chengrui, are you a bandit?"
