How could Di Zisheng bear it? Her clothes were pushed up to her waist. How could he let go of such messy beauty?

Regardless of the fact that this was the solemn Qinzheng Hall, he squeezed in directly.

As the desk shook wildly, a violent movement sounded again.

Xu Jinyi's face flushed, and she bit her lips lightly, but she still couldn't stop the sound from spilling out.

After all this commotion, it was unknown how long it had passed before the noise inside stopped. Xu Jinyi was lying limply on the chaise longue, her legs shaking uncontrollably.

The corners of her eyes were red and she stared at Di Zisheng with tears in her eyes.

Di Zisheng loved her like this and gently held her in his arms: "Be good, take a nap if you're tired. I'll carry you back when I'm done."

Xu Jinyi pouted, turned her back, and didn't want to look at him.

It was embarrassing to think that there were so many people outside, they must have heard and known what they did inside.

She clearly just wanted to send him afternoon tea and had no intention of seducing him.

Now, if it gets out, she’ll be labeled as a demon concubine tomorrow.

She absolutely refused to admit that she had come here with the intention of seducing him. After three days of inseparable companionship, it was normal for him to suddenly stop accompanying her, which was a bit strange and unaccustomed to her.

And his sturdy waist and smooth mermaid line made her miss him a little...

So embarrassing——

It's only been half a day and I can't help but deliver myself to him. Why do I feel like I'm even more hungry than him?

Xu Jinyi covered her face, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Outside the door, Eunuch Deng looked at the sky and was extremely impressed by the emperor's abilities.

I still have energy for three consecutive days.

Liuli Liuyun's face had already turned as red as a monkey's butt.

Their queen is so amazing. I hope they can be as charming as her when they get married.

When Xu Jinyi woke up in a daze, it was already dark, and Di Zisheng was still busy, with a slight frown on his beautiful brows.

She gathered her clothes and walked quietly behind him, looking at him with a serious face. He was lonely and arrogant as he held a red cinnabar pen and annotated on the memorials. A few words could decide the major and minor matters of people's livelihood.

But when he saw more memorials than this afternoon, Xu Jinyi couldn't help but pick up one.

Di Zisheng looked up and realized that his lover was awake. "Are you hungry? I'll have someone bring you food."

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a rule passed down for thousands of years. However, Emperor Zisheng didn't mind at all that Xu Jinyi picked up the memorial to read.

"The Minister of War favors his concubine over his wife, making no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. He allows his concubine to degrade his legitimate mother, causing chaos in the backyard. Even the ministers' household affairs require you, the Emperor, to intervene."

Xu Jinyi saw that the person who made the report was the Censor.

Di Zisheng pulled her to sit next to him and said, "I pay them so much salary every year. Are these people useless? Every little thing has to go through my hands."

Xu Jinyi nodded: "It's really useless."

Xu Jinyi handed him the memorial and continued to open the next one.

Emperor Zisheng also wrote a decree, fining the Minister of Revenue one year's salary and ordering him to correct his behavior within one month.

"The Minister of Revenue embezzled 200,000 silver taels for disaster relief. This is too much. He must be severely punished." Xu Jinyi handed the memorial to Di Zisheng again.

"Then how do you want to punish me, Yi'er?" Di Zisheng handed her the cinnabar pen with a smile on his face.

Xu Jinyi blinked and stared at the cinnabar pen in his hand. The meaning of this cinnabar pen was different. It represented a symbol of power and status, and only the emperor was qualified to touch it.

Xu Jinyi looked up at him, the pen in her hand was as heavy as Mount Tai, just like his feelings for her.

Xu Jinyi smiled and gave him a sincere kiss on his handsome face.

Then he wrote to dismiss the Minister of Revenue from his post and investigated him, and banned him from holding official positions for the rest of his life. He also found out the exact amount of corruption and confiscated his property.

Di Zisheng raised his eyebrows: "Not bad."

"It's necessary. I don't know if Lu Xinran, the new bride, can accept the decline of her husband's family."

Yes, Lu Xinran also got married, just yesterday, to the legitimate son of the Minister of Revenue.

Di Zisheng touched her head lovingly, continued to pass memorials to her, then picked up another memorial to annotate, and asked Eunuch Deng outside to serve the meal.

The next one is a memorial about the flood in the south, which caused countless deaths and injuries, and the hope that the court would send food to relieve the disaster.

Xu Jinyi stared at the name above, Jiang Dewen.

According to information obtained from Xiaoqi, Jiang Dewen is a good official who serves the country and the people, and the flood mentioned in the memorial is true.

Xu Jinyi looked at the date and found that it was submitted half a month ago, so he wrote on it that the granaries in nearby areas would be opened for disaster relief, and Jiang Dewen would be responsible for the amount needed.

In addition, he would send someone with 200,000 taels of silver to help the South overcome the difficulties, and send ten imperial doctors south to treat the wounded.

After Di Zisheng finished correcting the book in his hand, he turned his head and looked at it, a thoughtful look on his brow: "I have asked the secret guards to investigate whether this flood is real or not. Once it is confirmed, disaster relief will be implemented."

Xu Jinyi said, "Jiang Dewen is a good official. I knew him when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination a few years ago. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have embezzled the money in the name of disaster relief."

"But he won't. He's a good official who's willing to sacrifice his life for his country and die for his people, so the flood must be real."

"Also, half a month has passed. The situation over there must be very serious, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the capital for help."

The air suddenly became sour, and Di Zisheng stared at Xu Jinyi's opening and closing mouth with jealousy.

He leaned forward to block her voice, preventing her from saying another man's name again.

After the kiss, Xu Jinyi glared at him angrily: "Stop touching me. If you keep going like this, your memorials will pile up all over the table and you'll never be able to finish them."

"You think so highly of Jiang Dewen? Do you have a good impression of him?"

Xu Jinyi twisted his waist and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just telling you the truth. Aren't you happy that the court has a good official?"

Di Zisheng stared at her sadly: "What about me? You haven't even praised me yet."

Xu Jinyi held his forehead, thinking that this was what the man cared about.

She smiled and kissed his cheek: "My husband is naturally the most handsome, majestic, and energetic man in the world. You are the one I love the most."

Di Zisheng puffed out his chest proudly, and was extremely satisfied with Xu Jinyi's praise.

However, the court's situation still needs to be explained: "Sending the imperial physician south and opening the granary for disaster relief are both no problem, but the court really can't come up with 200,000 taels of silver at once."

Xu Jinyi's eyes widened, and he held up two fingers: "No way! Two hundred thousand dollars can't even be taken out from the national treasury? How is that possible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jinyi thought of the bad things that King Yan had done before.

Sure enough, the next second he got a positive answer from Di Zisheng.

Xu Jinyi: "Then where did the betrothal gifts you gave me come from?"

"They were stored in my private vault. No one but me can open it, so they weren't taken away."
