Chapter 38
In Jianzhang Palace, the stewards knelt down, Xie Zhao leaned on the soft couch, his eyes passed over the stewards.

There is a small table on the soft couch, with a stack of ledgers on it, except for a few books in a few places, most of them have problems.

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit stagnant, Xie Zhao didn't speak, and the stewards didn't dare to speak up, but they all felt that today's empress is particularly scary.

"Aunt Xiao, distribute these account books to the stewards one by one." After a while, Xie Zhao opened his mouth to order, Xiao Yun took the order, and led the palace servants to distribute the account books.

Although it was distributed to the stewards, the account books distributed to them were not the ones they were responsible for.

"Give seats to all the stewards, and prepare refreshments." Xie Zhao ordered again, Cang Zhu led the other palace people to give seats to the stewards, and Dou Ko led the people to present refreshments.

For a while, all the stewards looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the empress meant.
The steward had already opened the account book in his hand, and found that he was not responsible for the one, so he couldn't help being puzzled, "Empress, this...is not the responsibility of the servant."

"Of course I know." After taking a sip of tea, Xie Zhao said with a smile, "If you were in charge, why would I ask someone to bring it to you?"

When she said that, it made all the stewards even more confused.

But since the Empress ordered them to sit down and prepared refreshments, they all had to sit down.

At this time, Jianzhang Palace was like an exam, with a row of stewards sitting in front of each of them, with a small table in front of each of them, with refreshments and pens and ink.

"If the refreshments placed in front of you are not enough, you can ask someone to add more. If you want more convenience, let the palace servants lead you there."

Seeing that they were all seated, Xie Zhao spoke again, "Everyone has also seen the account books in front of me, start checking now, I ask you to check carefully and pick out the mistakes."

"You are all the stewards of this palace. You should know how to read the accounts. After all, most of the account books you handed in are made by yourself."

"Even if you didn't do it and asked someone else to do it, you still have to check it later, right?"

"Of course, if you feel that there is no problem with the account books sent to you, you can hand them over intact later, but if when I check it out, I find that someone has fooled me..."

Xie Zhao stretched out his hand with a smile, and took out a piece of dim sum from the plate. This dim sum was not as soft as usual, but crispy.

She stretched out her hand to break it apart, and the stewards only heard a "click", and the dessert was split into two halves.

Even if the empress didn't finish what she said, all the stewards can understand what she meant.

"Doumo, tell Shangshanfang to prepare a special table of meals. If you can't finish it at noon, let the stewards eat in Jianzhang Palace."

After taking a bite of dim sum, the taste is not bad, which is newly figured out by cardamom.

She ordered Cardamom, and Cardamom responded and retreated to the outside of the hall.

"My palace is here, and you must be uncomfortable in charge of things, so let's go out for a walk, and you all check slowly."

After eating the snacks, Xie Zhao stretched out his hand, and Xiao Yun hurried forward to hold her arm.

Standing up, looking around the hall again, Xie Zhao led the people out of the hall.

All the stewards are sitting in the hall, holding account books in their hands, you look at me, I look at yours, and you are all a little at a loss.

Someone stood up and wanted to leave the hall, and when he reached the gate, a palace official greeted him, "Is it convenient to manage things?"

Obviously, they had no choice but to stay in the hall to read the account books, or go out for convenience.

It is simply impossible to report to the Queen Mother, or find someone to help report the letter.

Helpless, the steward had no choice but to turn around and return to the hall, and sat back on his chair.

Xie Zhao led the people and left Jianzhang Palace.

The stewards of each palace are in Jianzhang Palace, which is just convenient for her to look around.

Afterwards, this group of stewards will definitely be replaced, and she can also select some people who need to be used as spares by looking around.

There was no news from Jianzhang Palace, and the queen mother was not in the mood to take care of things because of the two princesses, so she was not fully aware of Xie Zhao's actions.

At least, she didn't know that all the stewards were trapped in Jianzhang Palace.

"Master, seeing you like this, the servant is relieved." Following Xie Zhao, Cang Zhu's tone was quite gratified.

Xiao Yun followed on the other side. Hearing what she said, he gave her a puzzled look.

Unlike Cang Zhu, Xiao Yun was allocated to Xie Zhao from the palace, and Cang Zhu followed Xie Zhao into the palace from Zhongyonghou's residence.

In terms of understanding, Xiao Yun is naturally not as good as Cang Zhu.

Cang Zhu had observed Xiao Yun and found that she was fairly loyal to her master, so she usually told her about her master.

But she is measured, so Xiao Yun still doesn't know many things.

"How to say?" Xie Zhao was also a little puzzled, and asked casually.

"Since you entered the palace, it's like a different person. It's not until today that this servant thinks you're normal."

After all, it is the person who followed Xie Zhao since he was a child, so he can speak with less scruples and more intimacy.

From Cang Zhu's point of view, the previous master was not quite normal, she didn't suspect anything, she just thought that the master was not used to entering the palace, and now that she is a queen, this has changed a bit.

But looking at it today, the master is still the same master, not changed at all.

Whether it's talking or acting, it's the way it used to be.

"Really?" Xie Zhao smiled, a little guilt flashed in his eyes.

No wonder Cang Zhu felt that something was wrong, the person they met before, although she still looked like her, was a different person inside.

"That's right, think about how you secretly took your servants to the battlefield, how the generals praised you, saying that you are quite like Madam back then, you are really a tiger girl!"

Speaking of this, Cang Zhu was still a little proud. Xiao Yun on the side was confused, and couldn't help asking, "Madam is talking about Madam Hou? What do you mean by tiger girl demeanor?"

As a loyal and brave Marquis, Xie Huai'an had also been on the battlefield. He met Mrs. Hou on the battlefield.

Mrs. Hou's Shen family was willing to secretly run to the battlefield. After all, she was born as a general, so her skills are good.

"My aunt doesn't know. Our wife made a lot of contributions when she went to the battlefield, but she also made some jokes."

"One time my wife went to the battlefield, just in time for the old man to take the master to that battle. The old man personally took the master into the enemy camp. Not only did he get some information, he also burned the opponent's food and grass."

"But when we returned to the camp, we met our wife. How can we tell who is who in the middle of the night? Besides, our wife has never seen the old man, so she thought it was the enemy's spy, so she gave the old man a good beating. "

"At that time, the old man was standing aside, and he was stunned. Although the old man was misunderstood by his wife, he was not angry. Instead, he admired her. Later, he found out that his wife was a woman. He wanted to consider her a relative, but turned out to be his daughter-in-law."
