296 Feels Good Even in Death
“Tsk, tsk, I found a great piece of work. You know that suitor of boss in my previous life, right? He’s the best actor who jinxed one of his blind dates to death. I heard that his family is the second generation of a military family with a good background.” The saintess said while munching on sunflower seeds. The little girl had a headache when she saw her like this. God, how did she end up with the director! Should she have learned how to cremate from boss? They had either suddenly come back to life or transmigrated. If they had buried the director’s body back then, they would not have had such an unlucky transmigration. The little girl’s heart ached, but she still replied, “So what? are you coveting boss’s man?”
“No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare. I just suddenly realized that the best actor was born with bad luck! Hahaha, I’ve met one in this world too. Do you think I’m the one that can end people with bad luck? Hahaha, why do I suddenly feel like I’m snatching my boss’ man?” The saintess laughed out loud. This kind of feeling was inexplicably good!
The little girl thought, ‘It’s good to die too. Do you want to experience it again?;
At the Zhao residence in Jing City…
The Zhao family had been very busy these few days. People came and went continuously. The old people who usually lived in seclusion were now energetic. They came to the Zhao family every two or three days. There were even 70 – 80 years old officials who had fought alongside the former emperor.
When the new empress ascended the throne, these old officials all found excuses to retire and return home. The emperor could not stop them. They all complained that their bodies could not take it, that they were old and could not do it. Some had back pain, some had leg pain, and some had a headache. In any case, they did not want to be an official or go to court. Without the support of these ministers, the emperor had taken many detours and suffered many losses. The emperor still felt sorry for himself when no one had helped him.
However, as soon as they heard that Jiang Xi was going to be the empress, the old ministers no longer felt the pain in their waists and legs, and they could even jump around! In order to prove to Jiang Xi that their bodies were fine, the group of people even walked in circles outside the Zhao family’s residence to exercise every day.
“Hey, Elder Song, didn’t you say you were going out to travel the world a while ago? You said you’re half a step into the coffin, how can you still carry a wild boar now?” Grand Tutor Xue’s eyes were wide open at the sight of his old friend’s flushed face. Elder Song was also known as the think tank of the former emperor. At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne and wanted to keep Old Song. Who knew that the old man would make himself so sick that he had people carry him to the court to ask for his resignation, saying that his old arms and legs could not make it. Heh, it has been twenty years, but this guy could still carry a wild boar over to make bone soup for Jiang Xi?
Elder Song’s face was now full of wrinkles. His face was like an old tree bark, and his smile was full of wrinkles.
“What’s there to be afraid of in the coffin? Hey, now that I can help the new empress ascend the throne, it’s worth it to climb out of the coffin.” Elder Song was elated.
Grand Tutor Xue shook his head. If the emperor heard these words, he would probably cry from anger.
“This is the Three Character Classic and the Rules of the Disciples sent by the emperor. He said that education should start from the children. This is the test paper given to me by the princess. After this year’s court examination, we will start using new test papers next year. Our country’s children are so lucky. Look at these questions, they are so good…” They did not know where the princess had found so many questions. It was their country’s blessing that the princess had such a serious matter to attend to! With such a huge pile of questions, the children of their country would definitely be moved to tears!
“Princess, I’m afraid it took a lot of effort to pass me the test paper. When you passed it to me, my tears were almost flowing out!” The old officials stood in front of the Zhao family’s residence, sighing with emotion.
The old ministers who lived in seclusion or the legendary knowledgeable people could always be seen in front of the Zhao residence. It was a lively scene. The emperor leaned against the door of the main hall, his face full of grievance. “I only know that the new empress is laughing… My heart feels so cold…”
The eunuch behind him could not help but cover his face. ‘Your Majesty, why didn’t I see that you were so dramatic in the past?’
“Your Majesty, hurry up and move your things. Tomorrow, the new empress will ascend the throne. You will have to go to the palace at the back to enjoy your remaining years. This palace has to be vacated for the new empress to use.” The eunuch interrupted the emperor’s self-pity.
At this moment, the scene inside and outside the palace was completely different. Sigh, it’s quite difficult to have a daughter who’s too powerful. The emperor felt proud and disappointed at the same time.
