Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

"There is no need to say thank you between you and me." Nan Xi looked at Chu Xi seriously and said.

Chu Xi also looked at Nan Xi, showing a satisfied smile, and then disappeared into Nan Xi's dream.

When she woke up again, Nan Xi felt wetness on her face. She stretched out her hand to touch it and felt the traces of tears. She wiped it away gently, then turned over and got out of bed, sitting on the sofa and looking out the window with open eyes.

When the time came, Feiyun came in and called Nan Xi that it was time to go to the morning court.

"Well, let me help you change clothes." Nan Xi didn't say much. She directly stretched out her hand and motioned for them to help her change clothes and wash up.

After doing this, Nan Xi went to the morning court.

After Nangong Fuyang reminded the people under him, they quickly introduced a scapegoat and asked him to come out and shoulder the problems discovered by the Ministry of War.

At that moment, Nangong Rui issued an order to deal with this person, dismissal from his post, investigate, and expel him from Shengjing.

In this way, everyone in the court knew that Nangong Rui was serious and wanted to start suppressing the bad atmosphere in the court. For a moment, everyone was nervous, fearing that they would accidentally lose the black gauze hat on their heads. .

But Nan Xi was unusually silent in the court today. She was the one who pointed out the omissions in the household department before, but now when it came time to find out the deficiencies in other departments, she kept silent.

Even Nangong Rui and Xia Houqi noticed something was wrong with Nan Xi, always feeling that she was worried.

After going to court, Nangong Rui wanted Nan Xi to stay, but she walked away without giving him a chance to stop her.

Xia Houqi couldn't help frowning and followed him.

When there was no one around, he stopped her directly.

"Why are you leaving so quickly? Just now, His Majesty wanted to keep you here to talk about something." Xia Houqi said.

"I'm not in the mood today. I will confess to my father someday." Nan Xi's expression was calm, as if she didn't want to get too entangled with Xia Houqi.

Seeing her being so cold, Xiahou Qibian was even more curious:
"Are you in any trouble? If you don't know how to deal with it, you can tell me. I might be able to do it."

"What can you do? Help me? I can handle it myself. You don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty." Nan Xi looked at Xia Houqi very unhappily, as if she was dissatisfied with him for stopping her.

Xia Houqi had never seen such cold words from Nan Xi before. He couldn't help but frown, wondering if he had done something wrong to cause her to be so cold to him?

"Is there anything else, Your Majesty? If nothing happens, I will leave."

After saying that, Nan Xi glanced at Xia Houqi. Xia Houqi was completely stunned and at a loss, and then watched Nan Xi leave.

Xia Houqi's frown deepened and his face became even more ugly.

After Nan Xi left, she went directly to Hubu Dianmao.

People in the household department were all respectful when they saw her.

"I wonder what the Emperor Ji's instructions are today?" Liu Cheng asked cautiously.

"You can do whatever you do on weekdays. You don't need to wait for my instructions. In addition, the books related to financial accounts should be sent to me as soon as possible." Nan Xi said calmly.

"Yes, Wei Chen immediately asked someone to count the number of books and send everything Di Ji wants."

"Ah."

After Nan Xi responded, she went to the "work station" arranged for her by the Ministry of Revenue. It was a small independent room that was specially decorated for her.

But Nan Xi felt that this room didn't look like an office at all, but like a little girl's play place. Nan Xi disliked it very much, and then waited for Liu Cheng to deliver what she wanted.

After a while, several people came one after another holding a pile of books, put the books down and left. "Your Highness, all the account books over the years are here. If you have difficulty looking through them alone, Wei Chen can assign two accountants to accompany Di Ji." Liu Cheng said with a smile.

"Just ask the accountant to come over and wait. If you have any questions, I will ask him."

"Yes, Wei Chen will make arrangements right away."

A quarter of an hour later, the accountant assigned by Liu Cheng came over and was waiting.

He originally thought that Di Ji would give him all the books on hand to review again, but who knew that Di Ji only asked a few basic accounting questions and then asked him to leave.

When Nan Xi was in college, she learned the most basic basic accounting. Simple account books seemed not stressful at all, but she needed to know the ancient accounting methods in order to get started.

Compared with household registration, financial accounts seem to be more time-consuming and laborious. Nan Xi spent a whole day in the household department and only checked two or three books. Moreover, she found many accounts that did not match. She even took one by herself. This blank account book records problematic accounts.

Everyone in the household department was trembling with fear. Even Di Ji never left. They didn't dare to leave the household department earlier than Di Ji, so they could only "work overtime" with Nan Xi.

When Nan Xi put down the book in her hand and looked outside, it was already dark.

It's already so late, it's time to go back to the palace.

Nan Xi put down what she was holding, then stood up and left.

Seeing Nan Xi leaving, everyone in the household department left within a quarter of an hour, leaving only the night watchman to guard the household department.

When Nan Xi returned to the palace, Feiyun Huanyun had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time. When she was thinking about whether to send someone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire about the situation, she saw their master's carriage parked at the palace gate.

"Master, you are finally back. Why are you so late today?" Feiyun asked worriedly.

"It's nothing serious. I just got so fascinated by looking at the account book that I forgot the time."

Seeing Feiyun's worried look, Nan Xi gave a rare explanation.

Hearing this, Feiyun felt relieved, and then followed her back to the dormitory.

"Master, are you ready for dinner? Do you need to pass on the meal?" Huan Yun asked.

"No need, I have no appetite. You all should step aside. You don't have to wait around tonight." Nan Xi rubbed her forehead and said to the two of them.

Feiyun Huanyun looked at each other, the worry in their eyes was obvious, but they didn't say anything more and then left the room.

Nan Xi took off her coat, turned off the lights, lay on the bed, and fell asleep soon after.

For several days after that, Nan Xi repeated the process of the day. After going to court, she went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to stay for a whole day. When she returned to the palace, it was already very late. She ate something and then lay down on the bed to rest.

"Huanyun, do you think the master and the prince had a fight?"

Feiyun and Huanyun were sitting on the steps not far from Nan Xi's house, keeping vigil when Feiyun suddenly asked Huanyun.

"I don't know, but it's true that the prince hasn't been to Tianfeng Palace for several days, and Di Ji seems to be in a bad mood these days." Huan Yun sighed and said helplessly.

"Hey, Master hasn't eaten much these days. I'm worried about Master's health."

"You said she hasn't eaten much these days?"

Xia Houqi's voice suddenly sounded, Feiyun Huanyun quickly stood up and saluted:
"This slave has seen the prince——" (End of chapter)
