I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-265

Jiang Beiran really wanted to develop himself in a wretched manner, especially during the two months he had been on the throne. Every day, he had gained quite a few attribute points as if he had picked them up for free. Under such circumstances, he hoped that Sheng Country would continue to be a small country on the edge that no one paid attention to.

If they were to start a war with the State of Liang, Jiang Beiran was confident that he could destroy it. However, once the State of Sheng annexed the State of Liang's territory, it would no longer be a small country on the 18th line. It might even jump into the sights of some powerful countries. Then, they would start a war and annex again. In the end, they would have no choice but to start a war with the strongest countries.

Although his ultimate goal was indeed to unify the world, taking too big a step would easily lead to trouble. He had been making progress slowly for the past six years. Who knew if he would cause any trouble if he sped up the progress?

'I just want to quietly develop!!!'

"Hey, wait…"

Jiang Beiran suddenly raised an eyebrow and a bright smile appeared on his face.

The reason why the Liang Country dared to covet the Sheng Country was because they were too 'idle'.

'If I help him find some trouble…How could he have the time to think about expanding his territory?'

Just as Jiang Beiran was thinking about how he could make Liang jump up and down, he found Muyao sitting in the study reading a book, while Kong Qianqian was eating a green glutinous rice paste.

Seeing the Emperor suddenly enter, Kong Qianqian hurriedly stuffed all the Green Minced Pork Glutinous Rice into her mouth in a panic, intending to destroy the evidence. However, she realized something was wrong in the next second. How could she say " Long live the Emperor " with her mouth full of Green Minced Pork Glutinous Rice?

Therefore, she swallowed with all her might, intending to swallow all the Green Minced Pork in her mouth. However, since the Green Minced Pork could be pulled, it was naturally very sticky. Even if she was a cultivator, her throat was still the same size as an ordinary person. Therefore, there was only one outcome for doing so.

She choked…

"Wuwuwu! Wuwuwu!"

Kong Qianqian grabbed her own neck and made an extremely painful expression.

"Sigh…"

Sighing, Ranran walked behind Kong Qianqian and struck her in the neck with a knife.

"Cough!"

Kong Qianqian coughed and spat out a large lump of green glutinous rice.

"Clean it up yourself, then go to the Imperial Guards to get fifty strokes of the cane."

Kong Qianqian, who felt that she was about to reunite with her mother, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed,"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, he immediately went to deal with the glutinous rice balls on the ground.

Since the morning court session was still far away, Jiang Beiran sat on the dragon chair and leisurely read a book. After a while, Kong Qianqian, who had finished cleaning up the sticky rice balls on the floor, went to collect her punishment, leaving Muyao alone on the floor reading.

Of course, Muyao's mind wasn't on her book at the moment, and she kept glancing at Jiang Beiran.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran hadn't slept all night, Muyao had a lot of questions to ask, but she couldn't think of what to say.

'Aiya! I don't care if he's sleeping or not! What does it have to do with me?

'No! I have to take care of him capturing women from the common people and bringing them to the palace!'

'Even the emperor! She couldn't just think about this and that! Yes, I have to talk about him!

" Your Majesty!" Muyao stood up and walked to the desk. I... I have something to report."

"What is it?" Jiang Beiran looked up and asked.

Muyao shuddered when she saw Jiang Beiran looking at her, but she couldn't remember a single word from the script she had just drafted.

Muyao didn't say anything, but Jiang Beiran said,""Why didn't you bow when you saw me just now?"

"Ah?" Muyao was taken aback." I…" I..."

Just now, she did not bow to the Emperor because she had lost her temper, but now that she had regained her senses, she remembered that this was disrespectful.

"Do you know that this is a capital offense? However, for your father's sake, I won't kill you. Go to the Imperial Guards and get your punishment. Fifty strokes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Muyao left the study after receiving the edict to thank the emperor. Two little Muyaos appeared above her head in frustration.

The black-robed little Muyao waved her whip and shouted,""Muyao, Muyao! You're getting more and more useless! He has already bullied you to this extent! Do you still want to endure it?!"

Little Muyao, who was wearing a white Daoist robe, shook her head.""Just now, it was indeed your fault. How could you throw a tantrum with the Emperor? Even if this matter was reported to First Father, First Father would not help you."

The black-robed little Muyao immediately retorted,""Isn't he throwing a tantrum because he went to have sex with a commoner! This was simply a fatuous ruler! Yes, a fatuous ruler! You should enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"

Little Muyao shook her head again.""How do you know that the girl didn't do it willingly? If that commoner girl was willing, the emperor could naturally do this and that with whoever he wanted."

Before the whip wielding little Muyao could say anything, she shouted,""Even if that commoner girl is willing, it won't do!"

"Why not?" Little Muyao asked.

"Yes... Well... No means no! He should handle political affairs properly! How can you be obsessed with women!"

"You know that's not why you're angry." Little Muyao sighed."

" Of course!" Mu Yao blushed and shouted," It's this!" What else could it be?"

At this moment, the black-robed little Muyao, who was holding a whip, stood beside the robed little Muyao and said,""Muyao, why don't you have the courage to admit it? This isn't like you."

"Aiya! You guys are so annoying! Go away, go away!" With that, Muyao waved her hands wildly, turning the two little Muyaos into two clouds of smoke.

'Hmph, I'll find a chance to lecture him sooner or later!'

Muyao couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of how she would ride Jiang Beiran's neck in the future.

Kong Qianqian, who was rubbing her butt, walked towards her and shouted in surprise,""Eh, Senior Sister, are you here to receive the punishment too?"

Two veins popped out on Muyao's forehead as she was dragged back to reality. She went up to Kong Qianqian and pinched her cheeks.

"Ah! Senior Sister, it hurts! It really hurts! I just finished my spanking and my butt is still hurting. Please spare me."

"Stop panicking! The board here can hurt you?" Muyao shouted.

Kong Qianqian hurriedly made a shushing gesture and said,""Shh ~ the emperor said that even if it doesn't hurt, you have to pretend to be in pain, or else you'll be punished again."

"If you want to be punished again, so be it. Is there anyone in the palace who can hurt you?"

"But if you punish me again... He was about to be beaten up in front of all the eunuchs and palace maids."

Under such circumstances, he hoped that the Sheng Country would continue to be a small country on the edge that no one noticed.
