Xia Houqi left the palace in anger, returned to the palace and became furious. He smashed many objects to extinguish the anger in his heart.

The housekeeper and Windwalker were both outside the door, listening silently to their prince smashing things, not daring to say a word.

"The prince was just unhappy a few days ago. After coming back from the palace today, he immediately became angry. It must be the nobleman in the palace who has affected the prince's mood again."

The housekeeper sighed helplessly, feeling sorry for their prince from the bottom of his heart.

"You don't have to feel bad for the prince. In my opinion, the prince also enjoys it. He and Di Ji are a perfect match."

Ta Feng had met Nangong Chuxi before, so he knew her well. He truly felt that Di Ji and Wang Ye were a perfect match.

The housekeeper did not comment on Ta Feng's words, but looked worriedly at Xia Houqi in the room. He only hoped that their prince could figure it out soon and not have trouble with himself or these objects.

Nan Xi, on the other hand, slept until dawn without any psychological burden at all. After getting up in the morning, she tidied up and went directly to the Hubu. There was no need to go to the Hubu today, she only needed to go to the Hubu to have her fortune-telling done.

After these days of painstaking research, Nan Xi discovered that the Ministry of Accounts had embezzled a lot of money over the years. She had recorded all the loopholes in the account books. Now she still lacked an account book to record their corruption. She had to find a way to get it. That's it.

Just as Nan Xi was thinking about it, she saw Chen Zihe walking towards her.

"I have seen Your Highness."

"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?"

"I heard that the Emperor Ji has been obsessed with official duties these days, so I thought of asking the Emperor Ji if there was any way I could help. It is a blessing for me to be able to help the Emperor Ji solve her problems."

Chen Zihe said this very beautifully. There is nothing embarrassing even if she is rejected. If it can help her, that would be even better.

"Master Chen has come just in time. I am troubled by something. I wonder if Master Chen can shed some light on this?"

"Your Highness, please tell me. I know that I will tell you everything I want to say."

Hearing this, Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, and then asked unceremoniously:
"Mr. Chen, does he know who has this household expenditure account book?"

"Didn't Mr. Liu hand over all the account books to Di Ji?" Chen Zihe looked at them with some embarrassment.

"Master Chen knows what account book I am referring to. All you need to do is tell me whose account it is."

Chen Zihe failed to pretend to be stupid, so he had to say bluntly:

"Returning to Your Highness, the account books regarding the expenditures of the Household Department have always been in charge of the Secretary of the Household Department, and I don't know anything else."

Hearing this, Nan Xi nodded clearly, then raised her head and looked at him:

"Master Chen, would you like to go in and have a detailed discussion with me?"

Chen Zihe suddenly raised his head, glanced at Nan Xi, and then looked around again. When he saw no one else around, he nodded vaguely and followed Nan Xi into her office.

Half an hour later, Chen Zihe came out of Nan Xi's workshop, his eyes full of excitement and motivation.

Nan Xi showed a sly smile, and then continued to read the pile of account books that she had not finished reading.

Nan Xi had a rare morning shift today, so she wanted to go back to the palace to discuss with her father about the corruption in the Ministry of Revenue.

Who knew that she happened to see her cheap eldest brother and third sister in Chengqian Palace.

"What a coincidence, I met the eldest prince and third sister here." Nan Xi took the initiative to say hello.

Nangong Wanyue curled her lips and reluctantly saluted Nan Xi and said hello.

"I've met Di Ji." Then Nangong Fuyang nodded and said, "I wonder if Di Ji came to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects to my father?"

"Yes, the eldest prince and the third sister have already paid their respects?" Nan Xi looked at the two of them again and asked.

"Father is about to have dinner, Di Ji, it's better not to disturb him and leave with us." Nangong Wanyue looked at Nan Xi mockingly and said.

It means that Nan Xi is here at the wrong time. His father wants to have a meal. If he disturbs her at this time, his father will be angry.

But Nan Xi ignored Nangong Wanyue's warning, smiled at them, and then looked at the person on duty at the door:

"Go and tell Father that I am here to pay my respects to Father."

"Yes, the slave will go here."

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurried in to report, and then hurried back:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that you came just in time to have dinner with His Majesty. Your Majesty invites you in -"

After the little eunuch said this, two of the three people present looked bad. Only Nan Xi had a smile on her face.

"The eldest prince and the third sister went back to have dinner earlier. I will go to have dinner with my father right now."

After saying that, Nan Xi strode inside in front of them.

Nangong Wanyue's eyes were full of resentment, and after she left, she yelled:
"Brother Imperial, look at her triumphant look! Isn't she just dining with my father? What's there to be proud of!"

"Okay Wanyue, don't say any more. There are many people here, so be careful if it reaches your father's ears." Nangong Fuyang scolded in a low voice.

Nangong Wanyue immediately fell silent, and then left with Nangong Fuyang.

"Xiao Xi'er, sit down quickly. You just came back from the Ministry of Finance, right? You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"I haven't eaten yet." Nan Xi smiled faintly, and then sat next to Nangong Rui.

"Look at what you want to eat and let the imperial kitchen cook it. Thank you for your hard work, my Xiao Xi'er. After a busy day, it's time to eat something good to replenish your body." Nangong Rui looked at Nan Xi with a smile. .

Nan Xi shook her head, "No need, these are enough for us. There is no need to add more food. Father, have you forgotten what I told you before? You must save food and don't waste it."

This sentence was said by Chu Xi and Nangong Rui, but Nan Xi always remembered it.

"I have remembered what Xiao Xi'er said. You see, I only made eight dishes in total for my meals. The unfinished ones were given to the eunuchs and maids on duty." Nangong Rui explained with a smile, Nan Xi then nodded with satisfaction.

After the father and daughter had a meal, Nan Xicai and Nangong Rui expressed their intention to come.

"Father, do you think this is feasible?"

"Xiao Xi'er, it's not that I don't agree with the plan you proposed. It's just that Liu Cheng and Qin Beiyuan have been rooted in the household department for many years. I'm afraid that they will drain their salary and do something unfavorable to you."

"Father, my sons and ministers are not afraid."

"In that case, I will place two guards around you to protect your safety, just in case." Nangong Rui said still worried.

But Nan Xi still refused, "Father, my son does not need protection. If Liu Cheng and Qin Beiyuan are bold and dare to do anything to my son, then let them try."

Nan Xi was looking forward to them taking action. She hadn't moved her muscles for a long time, so she wanted to use someone to practice her skills.

When Nangong Rui saw that Nan Xi was so repelled by him sending someone to protect her, he didn't mention it again. He only asked her to be careful and protecting herself was the most important thing.
