As long as you don't offend the prince, being scolded a few times is a blessing.

"Outsiders think the princess is harsh and tyrannical, but in fact she is the most benevolent of all superiors. As long as you do things well and properly, the princess will not blame you for making small mistakes."

"But the most serious offenses are greed and disloyalty, otherwise even I cannot save you."

After leaving the Xiao residence, Qi Danhe kindly instructed several newly promoted officials.

He sighed, saying that Ji Bai and his group were much easier to deal with; they were all shrewd and he didn't have to worry about them at all.

Inside the mansion, Xiao Zhixing sat down to drink tea, while Li Wenxiu across from him was still looking through the various account books of the prefectural government.

"How about it?"

Li Wenxiu nodded, "No problem."

"Although Qi Danhe lacks ambition, he is capable of maintaining the status quo," Xiao Zhixing commented.

This is also why she felt comfortable entrusting Beizhou to him.

Beizhou is currently developing rapidly according to plan, and stability is what we need.

The two waited in Beiyuan County for several days. Mu Zixi was the first to return. He handed her a memorial and said nothing else.

After reading it, Xiao Zhixing nodded, "Your suggestions are very pertinent, and I will have them make improvements."

He focused on elementary education, discovered many problems, and offered better solutions for improvement.

Xiao Zhixing was very happy.

"I hope Your Highness doesn't blame me for being blunt and outspoken."

No one in a position of power wants to be criticized.

But she was willing.

Xiao Zhixing impressed him completely, and he thought to himself, "This is the mark of a wise ruler."

Xiao Zhixing smiled, "I like straightforward people."

She doesn't dare to give too much responsibility to those who play tricks.

Afterwards, the others returned one after another, each giving her a critique report.

Xiao Zhixing read each one carefully and benefited greatly from them.

She was genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

There's a sense of relief that comes with a child finally growing up, ready to be trained and ready to go out into the world.

Once everyone had gathered, she was just about to take them on a tour of Ghost City.

"Your Highness, urgent news from Shengjing! His Majesty summons you all to return to the capital immediately!"
