I Only Want to Gossip at Court, but the Entire Court Is Falling Apart

[Adorable child + transmigration + gossip System + hilarious coup plot + court intrigue]

In her previous life, Jiang Ruan was a veteran gossip reporter in the entertainment industry. She died suddenly after staying up all night chasing a juicy scoop about a top-tier star.

When she opens her eyes again, she has become a five-year-old princess of the Great Yong dynasty with the same name, and she is bound to a gossip System.

She thought she could secretly enjoy the court and harem gossip and experience a different life. She never expected the System to pull a huge stunt: everyone can hear her thoughts.

[Breaking news: Consort Shu secretly used the empress’s limited-edition snail-shell makeup last night.]

[Oh, so it’s the ancient version of your best friend sneaking into your luxury makeup?]

The entire hall falls silent. Consort Shu drops her teacup, and after hearing about it, her emperor father starts treating her like a human lie detector.

From then on, Jiang Ruan lies flat and enjoys the gossip (while being forced to work).

[The Minister of War’s outfit today: a pink mandarin-duck bellyband!]

The Minister of War dies of embarrassment on the spot and bolts from the hall.

[The chancellor looks stern on the outside, but he’s actually a big man who picks his feet.]

The chancellor’s face turns crimson, and he spits out three liters of blood.

The court officials’ KPI becomes figuring out how to pretend to be perfect before she and the System start chatting, so they won’t be the ones called out that day.

Then the System sounds a red alert:

[Warning: A massive plot to rebel has been detected. Person involved: the regent. Ultimate goal: seize the Host.]

Hearing the System’s warning, Jiang Ruan falls into deep thought as she looks at the regent, who brings her snacks every day and would love to pluck the stars from the sky for her.

“Your Majesty, you can keep the throne. I’ll take the princess.”

The regent’s coup has failed. As he combs Jiang Ruan’s hair, he sighs.

“Ruanruan, next time the System exposes something, could you put a mosaic over your dad? Your dad finds it embarrassing.”
