Qiao Lian'er suspected that these people had become much more cautious after the rumors about her started spreading.
Li Zanran's lips seemed to move, but nothing came out.
When he returned to his office, he carried out his tasks in a routine manner. However, he would stretch, get up and stroll around from time to time, and touch the fish in the fish tank, showing a great deal of leisure.
Qiao Lian'er suspected that the booklet was only being submitted now because it had been delayed for too long.
The next day, she sent someone to the theater to deliver a large bucket of popcorn and a cup of milk tea to Gu Nianhe.
"Isn't your young lady coming?" Gu Nianhe asked contentedly, holding her popcorn as she turned to look for her.
"Miss is really too busy, please forgive her, Miss Gu," said a servant from the Qiao family.
Gu Nianhe was eating popcorn when she suddenly thought of a very important question.
By the way, what was that woman's name? She was so engrossed in chatting yesterday that she completely forgot to ask.
Now I want to ask, but the servant has already left.
Gu Nianhe sighed regretfully, slowing down her popcorn eating. "Sigh, I won't be able to eat it anymore," she thought, "I'll have to take it easy."
Qiao Lian'er asked Mu Xinghe for the booklet because he needed it for reference at any time, so she quickly made a copy in her space and returned it to him not long after.
"Sister Lian'er, is there a problem?" Mu Xinghe was thinking of showing it to Qiao Lian'er first, but the contents were too complicated and dazzling. He didn't find anything wrong, and it wouldn't be good to trouble her.
As a result, Qiao Lian'er took the initiative to ask him for the booklet.
"Let me see it first." Qiao Lian'er pondered. Lord Gu had said that Li Zanran had reviewed the changes to this booklet, so she wanted to take a look.
“Okay, then I’ll follow the information above,” Mu Xinghe said.
The booklet contained a great deal of information, and staring at it for a while would make one's eyes dizzy. Qiao Lian'er thought that there weren't many changes or additions, but when she got the booklet, she realized that she had oversimplified the situation. Some of these changes were decisions made by the Great Swamp Kingdom based on the actual situation, while others were due to changes in the foreign states themselves, especially in countries with frequent regime changes, where several major changes could happen in a year.
With so many tasks, it's no wonder that the craftsmen and embroiderers had to work day and night, and that multiple workshops had to be mobilized.
Qiao Lian'er had to verify each piece of information one by one, and also travel to the relevant countries to understand the internal situation.
Since nothing seemed amiss at the Court of State Ceremonial, the Zhao family began to take action.
As dawn broke, Mu Xinghe's carriage headed towards the Honglu Temple. Whether at the Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Personnel, he always arrived half an hour early. Now, with many things to do, he arrived even earlier, by a quarter of an hour.
Having stayed up late for the past few days, Mu Xinghe looked haggard, with increasingly dark circles under his eyes. Taking advantage of the carriage, he closed his eyes to rest and wanted to get some more rest.
He wasn't the only one temporarily transferred from other departments to help out at the Court of State Ceremonial; however, most of the other tasks were minor and didn't overlap with his duties, which is why he was exceptionally busy.
To outsiders, he seemed to be reaping all the benefits, but only he knew how exhausted he was.
But his mission is important, and getting through this period will greatly benefit his career.
Two children, laughing and playing, ran past the carriage, seemingly giving it a hand.
"Go away, go away." Having never seen such bold children, Uncle Wang, who was driving the carriage, was caught off guard and startled. Fearing something might happen, he scolded them and drove them away while slowing down.
