The two men couldn't help but feel a surge of tension.

The two prime ministers were also a little nervous, like students waiting for their exam results to be announced.

I keep mentally reviewing the documents I've been grading lately... were there any mistakes?

Minister of Revenue Jiang Feng glanced at the group of people sideways. If anyone had to say who wrote the best memorial, it would undoubtedly be him.

He had a clear understanding of the Ministry of Revenue's accounts.

Unfortunately, Murong Yue couldn't understand numbers at all.

Regardless of whether she understood it or not, she flipped through all the documents.

Finally, he added, "I'll be there on the open day too."

She remembers this.

She had misunderstood before, thinking that the open day was for recruiting new people into the base. Later, she discovered that the Qing Kingdom base was very large.

To find out what exactly this "Ministry of Works Open Day" is, you have to go and see for yourself.

ah--

His Majesty is going to the Ministry of Works' open day!

!!

Li Daoyun felt like his skull was about to fly off. Why hadn't he received the news beforehand?

This... this...

Li Daoyun was in a flurry of activity.

As soon as the court session ended, he grabbed Qi Yuan and said, "Lord Qi, His Majesty's safety is entirely in your hands."

At this moment, Qi Yuan's head was burning hot, his blood was rushing to his head, and his heart was pounding like a drum.

Even the rabbit in his sleeve was calmer than him.

His Majesty's decision struck him like a thunderbolt, catching him completely off guard.

It was no simple matter for the emperor to leave the palace.

Once, the Emperor Emeritus suddenly decided to leave the palace. What was he going to do? Qi Yuan's memory was a little hazy.

At the time, many ministers strongly opposed it, and a large number of them knelt down, with some even kneeling at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

They kept saying they were thinking of His Majesty's safety.

This infuriated the retired emperor. He kicked the then-captain of the Imperial Guards and shouted, "I am the ruler of Qing Kingdom. Do I have to listen to you wherever I go?"

"Are you emperors or am I the emperor?"

"Your duty is to arrange the itinerary and ensure security, not to stop me."

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

It was on that occasion that the then-leader of the Imperial Guard lost his job, allowing Qi Yuan to take his place.

Now, His Majesty must also temporarily leave the palace.

He certainly couldn't dissuade His Majesty like the ministers before him; instead, he had to do everything in his power to ensure His Majesty's safety, which was the most urgent task at hand.

Forget about sending the rabbits at this moment, he and Li Daoyun went into a side hall to discuss how to ensure His Majesty's safety the next day.

Murong Yue didn't care about any of that; she wanted to go and see what was happening on the open day.

Hands tucked behind his back, he headed towards the Baoguang Hall. He was going to continue his studies today and, incidentally, take a few breaths of the fresh, tender brains to relieve his drooling.

As they passed the main gate of Xuanji Hall, they spotted a graceful white figure standing elegantly at the entrance.

It looks like an iceberg snow lotus.

The other party was surrounded by several maids and guards.

Murong Yue tilted her head and glanced at it a few times.

The figure noticed the large group of people approaching and began to walk towards them.

Only after getting closer could one see clearly that it was Xiao Yuanshuang.

Murong Yue always remembered those she disliked clearly. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ah Hao secretly curled her lips. This is the Xuanji Hall, what else can we do?

It must be to ambush the Imperial Advisor.

However, the other party is likely to wait in vain, as the Grand Preceptor left the palace directly after court.

Furthermore, with the New Year just around the corner, this third princess is dressed in all white, complete with a white cloak—it's truly unlucky.

Xiao Yuanshuang was obviously waiting here on purpose.

Last time at Xuanji Palace, Li Xuanji and Qi Yuan divided one million taels of silver in front of her, and there has indeed been no news about those two stupid assassins since.

But from that time on, she never saw Li Xuanji again.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, she has less and less time left and needs to take the initiative.

Since Li Xuanji always avoids seeing her, she will find a reason for Li Xuanji to have no choice but to meet him.

In the Qing Kingdom, who holds a higher status than Li Xuanji?

Of course, it's Murong Yue.

So today, I dressed up specially and came to the entrance of Xuanji Hall, hoping to run into Murong Yue.

Murong Yue possessed an outstanding and domineering aura. She dressed herself in a simple and elegant manner, which made her appear even more frail and helpless in comparison to Murong Yue.

They are endearing.

Unfortunately, Murong Yue was blind.

Ha ha ha ha.

All her efforts were in vain.

"Your Majesty, I am waiting for Lord Xuanji," Xiao Yuanshuang said, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Good heavens, they're not even referring to themselves as "this palace" or "this prince" anymore, they're just openly expressing their feelings like this?

Ah Hao was stunned.

The others in the honor guard also glanced at them slightly.

So, it turns out that the Third Princess of Yue has taken a liking to our Grand Preceptor.

This was Xiao Yuanshuang's wishful thinking.

Her grand display was simply to announce to the world that she was deeply in love with Li Xuanji.

If Murong Yue has any consideration for the friendship between the two countries, she will surely help them and bring them together in marriage.

Even if Murong Yue doesn't express her support, she will absolutely not interfere.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Murong Yue's mind was filled with the neat and upright strokes of calligraphy; matters of love and affection had no place in her world.

After all, in this zombie-infested world, she's more practical; she doesn't understand things like love and romance...

Murong Yue frowned even more deeply. "Waiting for the Imperial Advisor? For what?"

"I..."

Ignoring all shame, Xiao Yuanshuang uttered the deadly words she had been planning for a long time: "I have long admired Lord Xuanji."
