A beautiful day always begins with Wan Jiaojiao's care.

Li Chen allowed Wan Jiaojiao to put the robe on him. Looking at the lovely Wan Jiaojiao before him, Li Chen smiled and said, “You're so thoughtful. It makes this king unable to imagine life without you by my side.”

Wan Jiaojiao's pretty face flushed red, but she immediately said with unwavering determination, "My servant will always stay by Your Highness' side. How could I possibly not be by Your Highness"

"That's not a bad idea." Li Chen laughed and headed towards the Xizheng Hall.

As Li Chen walked, he asked, "Do you have any schedule for today"

Wan Jiaojiao followed Li Chen step by step, and replied upon hearing his words: “There’s nothing special planned. Just a few high-ranking individuals who wish to meet the Prince.”

"It seems that due to the recent implementation of new policies, there have been many significant job transfers. Some officials who came from local areas are not accustomed to their new roles, and coupled with various other factors, they have had some friction with several senior officials in the capital."

Yesterday, I heard that an official from the Ministry of Rites had been transferred from Dongshan Province. He was said to love eating scallions dearly and would even nibble on one while on duty. An imperial censor who came to handle business saw him doing this and mocked him. The two ended up fighting over it, and the censor was left with a bruised nose and swollen face, quite embarrassed.

"This matter has become quite a big deal, and many people are laughing at it."

"Nonsense!"

Li Chen snorted and said coldly, "What do they think of this East Palace This palace is not their mother. They are all grown men yet they cause trouble every day. As for such matters, this palace will not see them. Let them go back and sort things out themselves. If they can't sort it out, take off your official robes and hats, and go back to farming."

Wan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, bowing and saying: “This servant understands, I’ll go send them away right now.”

As soon as she took a step, Wan Jiaojiao seemed to remember something again, and turned her head to Li Chen and said, "By the way, Your Highness, Zheng Baorong, the Left Servant of the Ministry of Works, has been kneeling at the gate of the East Palace since last night, wanting to see you. I wonder if you will see him"

Li Chen stopped and asked, "Has he been kneeling this whole time"

Wan Jiaojiao replied, "I knelt there since the middle of the night last night. At that time, Your Highness was already resting, so I didn't dare to call you."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Let him come in."

But in a moment, Zheng Baorong strode quickly into the Xizheng Hall from outside.

Upon seeing Li Chen, Zheng Bao Rong became agitated, staggering to his knees and shouting, "Guilty subject Zheng Bao Rong bows to His Highness, the Crown Prince!"

Li Chen glanced at Zheng Baorong, who was kneeling on the ground, looking unsteady. Coupled with his sorrowful expression and pitiful appearance, he truly elicited sympathy.

But Li Chen did not give him a good face, and said faintly: "That's enough, stop acting in front of this palace."

Zheng Baorong said with a mournful face: "The minister's legs hurt terribly, and he lost his composure in front of the hall. Please forgive him, Your Highness."

"At the stroke of midnight, you ran to the gate of the East Palace and knelt down. Was this not a performance You dare say your legs hurt. You deserve it! If I were in a different mood, I would have had your legs cut off right now, so you wouldn't bother me again."

Li Chen's words were impolite, but there wasn't much anger in them. This gave Zheng Bao Ren some reassurance in his heart.

"The culprit knows he deserves to die a thousand deaths, and dares not beg for Your Highness's forgiveness," Zheng Baorong trembled as he spoke from the ground.rate of Xishan Province and swiftly assumed the post of censor in the Department of Imperial Censorate, although they both worked together in the Taihe Hall, there had never been any direct confrontat...
