Words flew like a soaring eagle., and the news of the emperor letting a woman enter his personal domain spread like wild fire for days.
Though some seems to be contemplated that it is a good sign for the kingdom's prosperity.,
Some were shocked at the news and some just didn't care at all as they believe that it's only natural for their emperor to have a heir sooner.
But others grew agitated as they're not the one's in the empress shoes.,
They're jealous and have been talking none stop on how they'll do a better job at seducing their emperor.
Yet some made a big mess when they found out, breaking everything there is in their courtyard.
But days after that incident., our dear empress continued her appointed duties inside the court and passed out after.,
After all her goal is on stake if she don't come prepare for those noisy officials all her hard work will be in vain.,
so she review everything at night till dawn, not having any proper sleep before and during court hours.
So she asked Li Cheng for a change of table that have sliding doors so she can easily roll inside of it and sleep when the officials retire.
But sadly The emperor didn't approve, instead he asked someone to build a connecting room in the court room and his study just for her
So she doesn't have to trouble herself walking a distance towards the courtroom everyday.
Which was deeply appreciated by Kim Li.
And at the moment the Emperor, Eunuch Fon along with Kim Li are discussing something about the relief fund for the Eastern Villages that suffered from an avalanche.
Cause even the problem with the treasury was solved the money still haven't refunded and the Royal Uncle still in hiding and as for Li Cheng, he haven't made his move to arrest the said culprit
"What should we do now, your majesty? Out treasury haven't recovered yet.."-Eunch Fon
"What should be do?" Li cheng in deep thought
"I do have an idea, but I'm not sure you'll like it, your majesty." I voiced out offering a suggestion.
"Go on"-Li Cheng
"Why not build a fund raising? I mean from donations that everyone in the capital can participate." I said but they just give me a weird look
"Hyst... hear me out first before you guys look at me like that. As I was saying let everyone donate even it's just one copper coin from the children and poor to thousands of gold coins from the wealthy." I said before sipping from my tea
" I am not sure that the wealthy will generously gave out a huge sum of money just like that.." Eunuch Fon said
"Your right, but what if they'll have to bid on something. I mean everyone who donated will get a ribbon that the harem will personally distribute while the ones who gave out a huge sum will get a chance to have a dinner with his majesty personally with his family." I said that Li Cheng immediately glared at me
"Absurd!"-Li cheng
"Hey, it's just a suggestion plus it's an effective way for everyone to help each other in times of need., think of it as that your uniting your people to help the ones in need., and since the nobles and officials won't spend their precious money to help the poor, then this is a way for them to help by using deception, since they would go all out just to dine with his majesty and maybe put a word or something during the feast" I explained
While I saw Eunuch Fon nod agreeing
"Or we could just let your concubines bid for your night stay on their yard., I'm sure they will be generous enough spend a lot of money that way" I said mischievously while he spurt his tea.., coughing and glaring at me..
But me being me I ended up laughing at his suffering
"Pffft.. hahaha you should have a look on your face"
And even Eunuch Fon can't hold his giggles tightly.,
"You deliberately timed saying that! Can't you not give me anymore headache than you already have?!" He said angry
But I just stood up and walk behind him and pat his head
"There, there.. don't be constantly mad little sweetheart, you'll get wrinkles if you do" I said slyly while Eunuch Fon can't keep his chuckles now
But all of a sudden the emperor grabbed my hand and pulled me with all force, that made me land at his lap.
"You really do enjoy teasing me. Huh?" He said as he move closer, moving his face inches from mine., and I can pretty much smell his matcha and a faint minted breath
Which made me blushed and embarrassed but since I'm from the twenty first century, of corse I'm not gonna back down As I replied "yes" while smirking
And I moved my hand to flick his nose for him to back up a little when we heard an irritating noise of silver ware hitting the floor.
And as if in sync we both look at the source of the noise which is from concubine Jen Sho who dropped a tray with a pot of soup.
"I guess it's visiting hours now," I said placing a kiss on his cheek as I stood up " well your majesty I'll head back first, please do think about my suggestion" I said as I head towards the room Li Cheng prepared for me as I'm too lazy to walk back to my courtyard.
Oh since Most of the time I'm staying at the room he prepared my three babies along with A-Jin also came along with me and packing some of my necessities from Winter Cold Palace.
Upon leaving Li Cheng's study room I noticed how concubine slut glared at me while I sensed that Eunuch Fon were smirking at me while Li Cheng look at me in daze.
Well better finish cleaning the court so I can get my desired vacation and I still have a week to settle everything in place.
