Let All the Officials Hear My Thoughts; I’m Just Going to Slack off and Watch the Drama Chapter 67 Discussion

Bar none, the funniest melon-eating story I've ever read. It's completely silly, and I've not stopped laughing since I started reading this.

So the premise is that our protagonist is a reincarnated modern person who discovered she has reached the pinnacle of her dreams - to be utterly lazy and supported by her family for the rest of her life. Her favorite thing is to listen to gossip between the staff.

Naturally, her parents have a lot to say about that dream, so she's immediately given a slacker job in the royal court. All she has to do is stand there for several hours a day during the court session, but even she can't handle that - as she explains, ever since she reincarnated to ancient, more simpler times, her originally sharp and wary mind has errrr also become simpler. Poor girl has the habit of falling asleep because court was so boring.

Enter the system, who binds with her on her first day of the job. And why does it bind with her? Because she's the most gossipy person in the world lol. After that is a pretty wild, roller-coaster ride as it becomes apparent literally everyone in the country, random citizens and nobles alike, can hear her and the system's conversation, but because the system and our FMC are so into eating the melons, they don't notice this fact no matter how ludicrous the situation is.

Our FMC is a pretty goofy girl who is determined to live like a salted fish and just do whatever she wanted since she joined the court (as long as she won't get beheaded by the emperor, who's so entertained by the gossip he'd rather keep her around). The system is also a newborn system, so it doesn't have a lot of common sense as well. The two of them together are like a rampaging fire hazard and everyone is both entertained and dismayed.

The gossip that they uncover is very unique. A lot of the time the gossip is pretty light-hearted stuff like:

Spoiler

a flower thief was running away from the soldiers, and happened to fall in love with the most perfect bare bu*t he's ever seen. And it's only the bu*t he saw, so he didn't really know that the owner of said bu*t was a general who happened to be taking a shower with the windows open...

And combine that with comedic situations like

Spoiler

the system gaining the ability to tame animals for a mount, but our protagonist misaimed at the last moment, leading to this poetic scene:

"Minister Lin and his wife were admiring the moon in the pavilion when they suddenly saw a person riding a big white pig running past them."

It's a fun and brainless read, so it you want humor in spades, this is the work to read.
