and I am deeply grateful for the outcome today. I dare not ask for more."Nodding, Zhao Qinglan said with a hint of satisfaction: "You are more sensible than your younger brother... As for the fiefdom...Chapter 284 Teaching the Rules

"Your servant thanks the Crown Princess," Wan Jiaojiao said again.

Nodding, Zhao Rui said to Li Chen, "Your Highness, is this alright"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Quite good."

Looking at Zhao Rui smiling softly as she ladled soup for him, Li Chen's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Right now, Zhao Rui and Zhao Qinglan are at odds and have poured all their thoughts into themselves. It seems that the palace intrigue attribute has also begun to awaken.

What was said just now seemed perfectly fine, but it subtly emphasized Wan Jiaojiao's need to recognize her own identity. Make sure she doesn't have any inappropriate thoughts.

Zhao Rui is already seeking change in her predicament. When the legitimate crown princess enters the palace, there might be some real drama to watch out for.

Although Su Jinpa was intelligent, her aloof and haughty personality might not be a match for Zhao Rui in the deep palace walls where she had long since adapted to the rules of survival.

The next day, Li Chen got dressed with Zhao Rui's reluctant help. As soon as he left the palace, he saw Wan Jiaojiao waiting at the door.

"Your Highness."

Upon seeing Li Chen, Wan Jiaojiao was about to kneel.

"Do not need to offer lavish gifts easily."

Li Chen gestured with his hand and walked straight towards the Xizheng Hall, saying, "How was your rest last night"

"I'm not used to it."

Wan Jiaojiao, who lagged behind Li Chen by a step, replied, "But the sleep is still good."

Upon arriving at the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the imperial edicts from the previous day, meticulously organized by the Bureau of Ceremonies, were already presented. However, there was a notable difference today.

All the chapters, whether read or unread, were categorized and arranged within reach of Li Chen. Based on their urgency and importance, they were placed at his fingertips.

Needless to say, this must be Wan Jiaojiao's doing.

"Did you move the petition"

Li Chen not only didn't dislike it, but instead asked with indifference.

Wan Jiaojiao's body trembled, and she immediately knelt before Li Chen, saying: "I have organized the imperial decree for your convenience, Your Highness, so you can review it at any time."

"Audacious."

Li Chen said coldly, "The imperial edict is a matter of great importance, containing countless secrets. Don't even say you've only been here for a day, even your godfather has served the emperor and me for so many years, would he dare to touch this edict He isn't qualified, where do you get the audacity to touch it"

According to the law, except for the Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet who have been authorized by the Emperor, anyone else who reads through imperial edicts shall be charged with treason. Do you want to die

Wàn Jiāojiāo was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale. She exclaimed in panic, "Your Highness, the servant girl doesn't dare, she doesn't dare! Please spare the servant girl!"

Looking at the trembling Wan Jiaojiao, Li Chen said indifferently, "Considering it's your first offense and you do have a reason, this palace will spare you this time. If there's another time, you'll have to take care of yourself."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Wàn Jiāojiāo's voice was choked with sobs.

Looking at Li Chen, who walked expressionlessly to the table and sat down, beginning to flip through the imperial edicts, Wan Jiaojiao suddenly remembered what her foster father had said to her before she came yesterday: "To serve by his side is like walking with a tiger. Although our Crown Prince isn't emperor yet, he already has the bearing of an emperor. When serving him, remember not to do nothing, but also not to make mistakes. A little less cleverness and you'll live longer and better."

At that time, she didn't understand, but now, she kind of gets it. This saying "being close to the monarch is like being near a tiger" truly describes the prince to a tee.

To everyone's surprise, Wan Wanjian, who almost lost her head on her first day of work, spent the rest of the day in a state of heightened anxiety. She dared not slack off in the slightest, and her entire being was in an extremely tense state of alertness.n came straight to the capital. Later, my family and relatives will come one after another.""Well, not bad, at least the attitude is decent." Li Chen nodded and said, "Let's go, follow this palace out...
