Qingyin divided the official business of the court into two categories: one was the more important matters that she had to take notice of, and the other was the idle chatter of the subordinates. Qingyin was too lazy to review these useless things, so she simply summoned Princess Xia Xiyue and the other princesses to review these memorials.
When the princesses first heard that their emperor brother/brother wanted them to review the memorials, they were undoubtedly shocked and reluctant.
But when Qingyin looked at them with a pitiful expression and acted coquettishly, the group was instantly swayed.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, I have so many memorials to review every day. I can't sleep or eat well, and I'm worried that I won't be able to finish reviewing them all. Please help me, sisters."
Looking at Qingyin's pitiful eyes and her pleading, pretty face, Xia Xiyue and the others shamefully wavered.
At first, Xia Mengxin couldn't resist the emperor's handsome face and secretly signaled to her eldest sister.
"Sister, why don't you help Emperor Brother? He's only a year older than me, and he's already working too hard to handle so many memorials."
Xia Mengxin was young and didn't understand how important it was for her to get involved in politics, so she was the first to soften her heart.
Compared to Xia Mengxin, Xia Xiyue and the others understand things much better.
They showed some hesitation on their faces, clearly somewhat tempted, and seemed about to be persuaded.
Qingyin could tell from their expressions that they were wavering, so she added fuel to the fire.
"Sisters, and the memorials I'm giving you are all unimportant. You can review them with confidence. If anyone in the palace dares to tell anyone, I will personally behead them!"
As she spoke, Qingyin gave Li De a rather threatening look.
Even Li De, the only chief eunuch present in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, trembled slightly: "..."
Oh dear, Your Majesty! There's only this servant here in the palace. If you leak this information, wouldn't it be him who should be beheaded?
Li De's body was trembling uncontrollably, but he still forced a smile as he looked at the princesses.
"Princesses, rest assured, this old servant will keep your mouth shut."
The princesses looked at Eunuch Li with sympathy.
Eunuch Li De has had such a hard life. His Majesty is so willful, yet he still has to go along with him, and he's constantly being threatened by his emperor brother/brother. He's truly pitiful.
They all felt sorry for his pitiful state.
Qingyin glanced at the exchange of glances between the princesses and Li De, a smile flashing in her eyes.
—
"Alright then, Your Majesty, this is the only time. We will handle the memorials for you."
Xia Xiyue spoke first, and then the other princesses followed suit.
Qingyin readily agreed, and as for her elder sisters' talk of "this is the only time," she pretended not to hear it.
Ha, how could it be just once? Qingyin thought her sisters were really too naive.
The bottom line is broken gradually; once it's broken once, it's easy to break it a second, a third time...
In the future, Qingyin smiled as she thought about how much her workload would be reduced, her smile resembling that of a little fox who had just stolen a chicken.
If the princesses, who were reviewing memorials, were to see him like this, it would probably dispel their impression of the emperor's younger brother/older brother as "naive."
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang, not to mention that the four princesses are not cobblers. With several smart people working together and their efficiency in reviewing the memorials combined, they quickly finished reviewing the memorials that Qingyin had specially selected.
Qingyin leisurely sipped her hot tea, looked at her older sisters who were sitting there nervously after finishing reviewing the memorials, and asked with a smile, "Eldest sister, have you finished reviewing them?"
"Hmm." Xia Xiyue nodded hesitantly, and the three princesses beside her echoed in agreement.
Qingyin's eyes lit up. "I knew my sisters were intelligent and could finish reviewing the memorials quickly. They are truly outstanding. If they were men, I'm afraid none of my ministers could match them."
The girls blushed as Qingyin praised them.
Xia Xiyue blushed and said shyly, "Your Majesty is exaggerating. How can we compare to those court officials?"
"No, no, no, sisters, you can't belittle yourselves..." When Qingyin really wanted to please someone, the power of her words and her face was unbeatable.
Soon, the four girls were so charmed that their faces turned red, their minds wandered, and they floated out of the palace with overflowing confidence.
He looked like he had forgotten all about the pressure of reviewing memorials.
