Chapter 126 Canonizing the Princess
Emperor Yuan felt that Jiang Yueyang's exclamation of shock sounded very pleasant, and some officials also felt happy.
It's so funny to see Master Xiao Jiang looking so humiliated.
Emperor Yuan pretended to be displeased, "Jiang Yueyang, you scared me."
"Your Majesty, you scared me too." Jiang Yueyang retorted angrily.
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Minister Jiang: Attending the morning court every day is like going to the guillotine.
All the civil and military officials lowered their heads secretly. You king and your ministers, please don't let your quarrels bring harm to us innocent people.
Jiang Yueyang didn't realize what she said, and angrily scolded Emperor Yuan to the system.
[Intentional! Your Majesty absolutely did it on purpose! He clearly knew that I just wanted to be a salted fish, yet he insisted that I be his slave! Being a slave would be fine, but he didn’t even give me grass to eat!
I'm just a lowly fifth-rank editor, earning a mere five taels of silver a month. Not only do I have to work at the Wenyuan Pavilion, but I also have to work at the Ministry of Personnel! Now I've offered potatoes and sweet potatoes, but not only am I offered no promotion, I haven't even received any reward.
My grandfather took my potatoes and sweet potatoes and gave me a villa. Your Majesty, you are such a stingy person!
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Kong Jijiu: ...What kind of work are you doing in Wenyuan Pavilion? Are you sleeping soundly?
Minister of Personnel: Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. If you have any dissatisfaction, go to His Majesty, don’t come to me.
Pei Yan and two other editors, who were far away in Wenyuan Pavilion, were munching on buns while writing furiously.
What they are doing is Jiang Yueyang's job.
After hearing her speak so many words in one breath, the system knew without a doubt that she was really angry.
So, he couldn't help but add insult to injury, "Host, don't forget that the Emperor fined you a month's salary last time. You're now working for nothing. Furthermore, your next three months of vacation have all been deducted."
Jiang Yueyang became even angrier when she thought about this. "Your Majesty is so mean! No, I'm holding my breath. Little Melon, please tell me about His Majesty's dark past so I can vent my anger. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die of anger in this palace."
When Emperor Yuan heard that she wanted to eat his melon, he hurriedly asked, "Jiang Yueyang, you have contributed potatoes and sweet potatoes. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Jiang Yueyang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then blurted out, "Your Majesty, I want to be your daughter!"
Emperor Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Yueyang to ask for such a reward.
It seems that she is determined not to become the Crown Princess.
What's wrong with the prince?
What's wrong with being a princess?
She had to resist so much.
The future Queen of Daxia, that is the status and position that many girls dream of!
As Emperor Yuan was thinking, his gaze fell on Lu Yunting. His thick brows knitted slightly, thinking perhaps this was the problem.
But didn’t Jiang Yueyang know the prince first?
The prince was once again heartbroken by Jiang Yueyang. What should he do to shake her heart?
Minister Jiang was very sad. My daughter didn't want me anymore...
Some are happy and some are sad.
After some people realized that Jiang Yueyang had no intention of becoming the Crown Princess, they began to think about marrying into the Jiang family.
Among them were Duke Su and the left and right prime ministers. Xie Xu, who was late, also had some ideas.
Not to mention Lu Yunting.
Seeing that Emperor Yuan did not answer, Jiang Yueyang tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, is it not possible?"
After hesitating for a while, Emperor Yuan still did not want to make her a princess, so he secretly gave a wink to the Imperial Censor Wei.
Lord Wei: Your Majesty is such a bastard. He didn’t want to be the bad guy so he asked me to be the bad guy.
Lord Wei looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it. He didn't want to be the bad guy.
Emperor Yuan coughed violently upon seeing this.
There was no other choice but for Lord Wei to step out and say, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Jiang's request to confer the title of Princess is inappropriate."
"How is it against etiquette?" Jiang Yueyang said angrily.
"Although Lord Xiao Jiang has offered potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is far from enough to be crowned a princess. If she is crowned a princess, it may cause dissatisfaction among other princesses and other meritorious officials."
After Lord Wei said this, he apologized to Jiang Yueyang in his heart and secretly cursed the emperor for being a beast.
Because he felt that Jiang Yueyang's voice saved the Queen Mother, prevented Prince Rong's rebellion, Prince Jing'an's collusion with foreign enemies, and exposed the cancer of Minister Lin and Lord Wu, so she was fully qualified to be a princess.
Even becoming king is not difficult!
However, these achievements cannot be made public, and His Majesty is currently unwilling to give up the idea of Lady Xiao Jiang becoming the Crown Princess.
Jiang Yueyang opened her mouth but couldn't find any words to refute.
She also felt that it was a bit too much to ask for the title of princess just based on the offering of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
For this reason, she remained silent.
However, she groaned inwardly, "Just wait, I'll definitely make you willingly crown me a princess! No, a king!"
Emperor Yuan didn't take Jiang Yueyang's words seriously. Seeing that she didn't object, he said, "Then confer the title of Princess Yongle. She will be granted a fief of 1,000 households and the land of Luoyang."
When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were shocked. His Majesty was so generous this time.
They thought that His Majesty would at most give them a title and reward them with some gold, silver, and jewelry and that would be it.
Jiang Yueyang opened her eyes wide in disbelief. [Little melon, did I hear correctly? His Majesty has granted me the thousand-household fiefdom in Luoyang?]
[The host heard correctly, this is what the emperor said.]
[In other words, all the tax revenue from the thousand households in Luoyang is mine? Luoyang is a prosperous capital city. Your Majesty still has some conscience.]
Emperor Yuan coughed twice suggestively. It's really not easy to get a compliment from you.
Jiang Yueyang heard the cough and couldn't help but look at Emperor Yuan. "Little melon, do you think His Majesty has tracheitis? I hear him coughing every time he attends court. This is the third time today."
Emperor Yuan: “…”
The faces of all the civil and military officials turned red instantly, and they laughed wildly in their hearts!
Hahaha……
Although I don’t know what tracheitis is, it should be a coughing disease.
The system was also speechless. Even this emotionless data understood the emperor's hint, but the host was still confused.
[Host, is it possible that the Emperor is hinting at you to express your gratitude?]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
She pretended to be calm and knelt down. "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. May our Great Xia prosper for thousands of years. May Your Majesty be in good health and live a long and healthy life!"
Emperor Yuan: Don’t worry about me, I am in good health!
Emperor Yuan waved his hand. Now he inexplicably felt that with Jiang Yueyang around, his dragon body might really be in trouble.
Jiang Yueyang stood up and returned to her seat, her face full of smiles, unable to hide her happiness.
System: [Host, didn't you say you didn't want to be an official? Why, have you changed your mind?]
"No, I still don't want to be an official. I handed over the potatoes and sweet potatoes only because I didn't want the people of Daxia to starve."
[Why are you so angry when the emperor doesn't give you a reward?]
Jiang Yueyang said as a matter of course: [Whether I want it or not is one thing, but he can't refuse to give it to me! Stop talking nonsense and quickly present the dirt on His Majesty.]
Emperor Yuan: !!! Didn’t I give you a reward?
