Your Majesty, the Emperor is playing your cards again!

Chapter 795 In the Name of Husband and Wife
The virtuous concubine was famous for her quick calculation of accounts in the Ministry of Revenue.

He was fast and accurate, and could even do mental arithmetic, so he became the most capable person in the Ministry of Revenue.

Once she has gone through all the accounts, any mistakes or omissions can be found out.

Now that she is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, the other six ministries have to carefully calculate several times before submitting their budget, expenditure or settlement reports, for fear of being caught in any mistakes.

Over time, Concubine Xian became like a living abacus in the Ministry of Revenue, and the officials who dealt with her both respected and feared her.

Respect her for her strong professional skills and for never making mistakes.

I was afraid that she would strictly abide by the rules and never show mercy.

There is only one person who is not afraid of her, and that is Minister Lu.

Minister Lu argued with her for half a day over an account, but in the end he realized that he was wrong and apologized sincerely.

Then a few days later, he continued to argue with her over an account for a long time, but in the end he realized that he was wrong and apologized sincerely again.

The Ministry of Revenue has a huge number of accounts.

They went from arguing every day, to arguing every other day, to arguing every other week, to arguing every other month, and then to no arguing anymore.

In one year, Concubine Xian demonstrated with her strength what professionalism and undefeatedness meant.

Minister Lu was able to bend and stretch himself, and he no longer argued about right and wrong. From then on, he politely called Concubine Xian "teacher".

The two of them worked in the Ministry of Revenue together, reconciling accounts every day.

He was gradually attracted by her gentleness, dignity, tenacity and professionalism.

Gradually, he was no longer willing to call her Empress Xianfei.

I started calling her Teacher Jiang, then I called her Miss Jiang, and later I couldn't help but call her Jiang Zhu.

He came the earliest every day and would place a bunch of wild flowers he picked on the road on the table where she was doing the accounts.

At night, he would always wait for her to get off work together, and would walk her part of the way even if it meant taking a detour, until he sent her into the red palace wall.

He carefully concealed his feelings and treated her as a colleague, not daring to let her find out.

She was the virtuous concubine. If he dared to disrespect her, he would die! The virtuous concubine was careless and focused on her work, so she didn't notice his abnormality at all.

Like a frog in boiling water, he was attentive little by little, yet kept a just right distance, making it difficult for people to notice him.

They spent several years together like colleagues, yet with something more than colleagues.

Until one time when they were out to reconcile accounts, they encountered a mountain torrent on the road and the entire team was swept away by the flood.

She couldn't swim, and when she fell into the water, she was completely dazed.

He was the one who rushed over at the first moment and hugged her tightly.

He was good at swimming and could have quickly reached the shore, but in order to save her, he jumped into the surging river without any hesitation.

The waves are surging and the earth is turning upside down.

He hugged her with all his strength and held her up.

After floating in the river for most of the day, they finally landed on a shallow beach and climbed ashore.

It was still cold in March, and there were barren mountains and wilderness all around.

They searched for a long time before they found a family and settled down there as a couple.

If a single man and a single woman are together, they can only act in the name of husband and wife, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.

Of course she could understand that one had to take emergency measures, but she really had no choice but to let the two of them live in the same room.

She kept her identity in mind and always strictly followed the rules and etiquette, never allowing herself to overstep the line.

She planned to spend the night outside.

However, before she had even made it through half the night, she fainted from catching a cold.

Minister Lu did not take off his clothes to take care of her.

She had severe typhoid fever and needed herbal rubs on her body and acupuncture on her back.
