If you want to talk about suffering,
Don't cry endlessly.
Smile instead.

"Court dismissed! Court dismissed! Court dismissed!"
The shrill voice of the Ceremonial Eunuch ended today's morning court session.
It was like a school bell ringing.
The officials poured out in an orderly fashion like a tide.
Leaving early had no good outcome.
For example, Lord Wang from the last court session was dragged out by the Emperor's men before others had even left.
Like Minister Lu this time.
Before others had left, he was taken away by the Imperial Doctor and guards.
Each court session actually took quite a toll.
The Emperor held court every ten days, and officials concentrated on handling major affairs.
Something always happened at court.
It's a pity there were no newspapers.
Otherwise, if they published a newspaper after each court session, it would surely sell well.
Inspector He took on the task, Vice Minister Jiang was "released on bail pending trial", not needing to be detained, just cooperating with the investigation and awaiting results.
But everyone already felt it was settled.
One by one, they looked at Meng Qingshe and Minister Dong with different eyes.
This Meng Qingshe really was blessed for life.
Leeching off the old above and the young below, a lifetime of blessings he couldn't use up.
When others were bullied, it was beating the little one to get to the big one.
When he was bullied, the old one came and then the young one came.
Having a successful father to rely on was one thing, but now his son casually went out of the city and married a girl who turned out to be Princess Huiyun's own granddaughter - what incredible luck.
No wonder it was said his wife was a Daji reborn, she was Princess Huiyun's granddaughter after all, surpassing her predecessor.
Tsk tsk.
Even more fortunate was Minister Dong.
Who would have thought that Minister Dong's daughter, whose engagement had been called off, would be able to choose the most valuable golden bachelor in the capital right now.
Usually, royal clan members were betrothed early on.
Although royal clan members had noble status, they didn't amount to much.
But the royal clan members were mostly taken internally, even if you wanted to climb the social ladder, you couldn't reach it.
Even Heir Apparent Han with such terrible character had people lining up to meet him for marriage, with many wanting to marry him.
Yet Minister Dong actually managed to snag such a good match for his daughter whose engagement had been called off.
Boo hoo, who said old Dong was upright and only knew how to do carpentry? This was extremely cunning.
Who said the He clan was incorruptible and couldn't be won over? They had long ago accepted the Jiang family's young daughter as a closed-door disciple.
Bah, shameless.
A certain Minister Liu had a bitter expression. He was the one who had added the charge of conniving at his wife and children's bullying against Vice Minister Jiang.
The reason was that Vice Minister Jiang's daughter used the He Family's name to deceive and swindle money from his younger son.
┭┮_┭┮, now it all made sense.
Vice Minister Jiang's young daughter was Inspector He's closed-door disciple, so she could say she was from the He Family.
More importantly, she was Princess Huiyun's own granddaughter. Her asking for a few hundred taels in silver notes from you wasn't fraud - it was her looking favorably upon you.
How unfair, how unfair. Having a good-for-nothing son implicated the whole family.
The Emperor rubbed his nose, feeling a bit guilty.
Today, Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Duan were accompanying the Emperor.
Eunuch Liu felt remorseful inside, he had almost offended Lord Jiang by trying to help Minister Lu.
Carefully recalling his past actions, he shouldn't have offended him too badly.
He hadn't done anything too obvious.
It was over before he had a chance to do anything.
Sending a big gift later might not be enough to make amends.
He would have to painfully give up the benefits he had accumulated over the years.
If he didn't give them up now, he wouldn't have the chance to later.
Eunuch Duan was happy inside, thinking how lucky he was.
He had finally gotten an assignment outside the palace, never expecting it would be to Lord Jiang's home, establishing good relations early on.
Who would have thought Lord Jiang had such a background.
He really did have the god of wealth on his left shoulder and Guan Gong on his right, blessed with good fortune.
Mianmian followed into the palace.
It was her first time entering the imperial palace.
She was somewhat excited.
No need to buy tickets.
Direct entry.
Grandpa Emperor looked very majestic in his elaborate clothes, quite tall, but a bit old. His figure was still good, very straight, not hunched or with raised shoulders.
He had a large frame, but was rather thin.
The imperial crown looked very heavy. If it was solid gold, it would easily cause headaches. Wearing something so heavy every day would put too much pressure on the head.
Making it hollow would be better.
Looking at the dragon robe, it was dazzlingly golden. She didn't know if it was pure gold.
If it was all pure gold, the clothes would certainly be very heavy.
No wonder the Emperor didn't like holding court, just putting on this uniform must be quite tiring.
The Emperor walked in front.
He kept feeling an itch on his back.
Someone was staring at him.
In this world, no one dared to stare at him.
He couldn't help turning his head.
Then he saw a silly, innocent face staring at him blankly.
He turned his head, but she didn't hide.
He tried to look stern.
Usually just frowning or glaring would make the concubines, eunuchs and palace maids in front of him kneel down.
He felt uncomfortable being stared at and glared a bit.
He saw the little one curiously look back, saw nothing, then turn her face back.
The little one sweetly called out: "Grand Uncle, what are you looking at?"
The Emperor uncomfortably turned his neck back.
She called me Grand Uncle?
He felt a warm current spreading from his heart.
The little one who looked exactly like Huiyun, appearing after several decades, calling him Grand Uncle.
Time flowed backwards, flowing into the shape of a heart, finally falling onto the tip of his heart.
The Emperor's footsteps slowed down a bit.
