It's almost dawn when father and brother left my court yard and I truly enjoy myself goofing around today
I asked Mike to accompany them out the courtyard while A-Jin cook whatever they've hunt.
"So? When are you gonna leave?" I asked awkwardly
As I'm currently with my 'dearest husband' in this awkward situation as he stare at me intently.
"I've been thinking about what you proposed yesterday.," he said that made my day even better
"You'll finally gonna permit me to go!" I said excitement in my voice
What you can't blame me as being one with the men is who I really am.
"No, it if you prove to me that you could make those officials sorted out, I'll reconsider" he said indifferently
But the excitement of meeting my fellow soldiers in this era would be a blast! even so I'll need to sew some mouths shout first...
"Kyaaaa! A-Jin prepare my clothes later we're going to camp on my Nalat day!" I yelled as I run towards the kitchen
Unknown to her Li Cheng lips curled up unconsciously.
"I'll give you a week to sort them out, I'll asked Feng Yun to fetch you tomorrow!" His highness said following me to the kitchen
" Noted! Oh, you can have these as thanks.." I said as I pack some sweets for him to enjoy..
What can I do I'm in a good mood today...
The whole night I've been reviewing all the official report passed by each of those men to his majesty as I measure them up based on the information here.
I may not be a business maniac like mother who held a multiple-multi company around the globe, to know the basic of all of these.
I thought as I've found no trace of suspicion. But I kept at it till dawn breaks and still found none.
"Ugh! Might as well get some sleep" I thought as my eyes automatically shutdown as soon as my head hit the pillow.
"Your highness, please wake up Feng Yun is here for you" I heard A-Jin's voice as she kept tapping my hand to wake me up
"Fifteen more minutes" I said as I cover myself with the banket
"But Your highness, his majesty is ill according to Feng Yun and asked you to be in his steed for a while" A-Jim said that made me jolt up
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier! Ahhhh I can't be late!" I frantically yelled as I picked an outfit and asked A-Jin to fix my hair
I'm really impressed at how I look at the moment.

I'm wearing a golden moon silk that is the most luxurious one in my wardrobe. Along with the red , blue and white that A-Jin refused to throw out. as it is one of the Royal sets that was given by the late emperor specially for me.,
I also wore its matching crown which is unpractically needed as it is heavy on my head. But A-Jin insisted and put it anyways.
Currently I'm at a sedan chair cause Feng Yun argued that riding a horse is not appropriate to what I'm wearing today, and we can't walk to the courtroom as I'm already late.
A moment later we reach the courtroom and everyone looked at my direction but I can clearly see the Dissatisfaction from their eyes.
'Oh? Are they underestimating me cause I'm a girl?" I thought as I also gave them a disappointed look as I sit calmly at the emperor's throne while Jun Meng assists me.
"Long Live The Empress! LONG LIVE THY KINGDOM!" They greet bowing
"Arise" I said softly waving my hand for them to stand up
as I'm still in no mood to deal with their morning issues, as I still lack of sleep.
Someone step to his right from his position and I just nod for him to speak up.,
"Your highness I'm from the department of labor Matsu Chen , his majesty task me to increase the servants in the imperial harem.," he said as he bow
" And what would be the problem officer Chen" I asked Uninterested as I know Li Cheng won't be generous enough to hand me over some new servants.
Plus if he ever considered it I would reject them as I know the possibility that they'll just spy on me.
" Your highness you wouldn't understand. Last year his majesty spend a fortune to send winter clothes to the soldiers." Someone said that caught my attention
"And who might you be officer?" I asked politely smiling but Jun Meng looked at Feng Yun who's pale as white at the moment
"I'm from the department of finance you Highness, my name is Pie Sho" he said bowing
'At least he remembered to be respectful' I thought as I smiled at his direction
"Then Officer Sho, you can certainly explain or just even summarize the problem for me to understand., just so you know that his majesty asked me to stand in for him in a short notice., it's really normal for me to NOT understand the situation., now please give me a brief explanation and we'll go on to the next problem" I said smiling devilishly as I'm sensing that something is a miss.
"Your Highness please calm down." Some officials said
"I'm perfectly calm, thank you though but please do continue" I said eyes Officer Sho to continue
" Your Highness as I've said earlier, His majesty spent a fortune last year for the soldiers and this year for the harem and Queen Mother's Nalat day., he bought expensive gifts and throw luxurious celebrations" he said that made my eyebrow raised
'Is he trying to blame the emperor for the lack of funds? Besides as far as I know Li Cheng use his own money for occasions like that. What is really going on here?' I thought as I frown a little
"And the problem is?" I asked as I spin the brush in my hand as it's making me stress free
"The kingdom's treasury are almost at its limit, Your highness. we can't afford to spend more in servants" he said bluntly
"I see., I'll get back with you and that problem later.., anyone who needed to report, please do so" I ordered as I wrote down the first two issues that they laid.
