Chapter 206

For Emperor Jiawen's joke, Xiao Wanwan just curled her lips in response.

Concubine Xian covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "If the emperor is gracious, this concubine will take my younger sister to adapt to the environment."

Emperor Jiawen nodded, and the job of accounting fell on Xiao Wanwan's head.

When she came out, Xiao Wanwan saw that Menglan had chatted with Xianfei's close maid, talking and laughing.

"Miss."

"What were you talking about just now?"

"It's just some trivial matters." Xianfei's maid Mingqiao replied.

Concubine Xian glanced at her, with a faint smile on her face: "Are there any little secrets that you don't want to tell me?"

What Xiao Wanwan didn't expect was that Mingqiao didn't deny it, she kept silent and seemed to admit it.

Concubine Xian didn't care about her rudeness, both of them acted as if nothing had happened just now.

Managing accounts is no easy task.

Xiao Wanwan has to handle all the items in and out of the warehouses of the various bureaus in the palace, the distribution of monthly money for all the palace people, and the money that the harem needs to pay for purchasing materials from the people.

Although this job is not easy to do, it has always been a favorite, because there is too much oil and water that can be fished in it.

Xiao Wanwan sat in the accounting room for a whole day. She first sorted out the unfinished accounts when Concubine Li was still in charge, and then dug out the previous account books to watch and study, and finally learned to use the abacus with the accountant.

Emperor Jiawen came to Yongxiu Palace after finishing his affairs, but the little eunuch told him: Xiao Wanwan hasn't come back yet.

It's already getting dark, why haven't you come back yet?
"Li Mian," Emperor Jiawen said, "Go and urge me, this matter can't be taken over in a day or two, she can't finish it even if she just sits there all night."

Li Mian replied: "Yes."

Emperor Jiawen said again: "Tell her that I am waiting for her in Yongxiu Palace."

Now he has figured out Xiao Wanwan's character clearly. If he doesn't put a little pressure on her, he can't guarantee when Xiao Wanwan will come back.

"Your Majesty," Li Mian waited at the side, and reminded him for the third time, "The Emperor is waiting for you in Yongxiu Palace."

Xiao Wanwan closed the account book and asked casually: "Is there no other place for the emperor to go?"

Eunuch Li was overwhelmed by the question, how could anyone push the emperor away like Yan Zhaoyi?

"Your Majesty was joking..."

Xiao Wanwan just got up, closed the door of the counting room, put the key into the hand of the eunuch who was waiting at the side, and walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Li Mian was holding the palace lantern, and the light inside the thin paper cover was flickering. Xiao Wanwan paused and asked, "Is it Madam Liu who just walked over?"

Eunuch Li replied: "Yes, a father-in-law in the Queen Mother's courtyard fell seriously ill, and Madam Liu was ordered to go to Shangyi Palace to pick one to make up for it."

Xiao Wanwan nodded, expressing understanding.

The eunuch who was following Nanny Liu just now was really tall, Xiao Wanwan thought absently, he was the tallest man she had ever seen.

Emperor Jiawen's occasional petty temper really made Xiao Wanwan not know how to evaluate it. Facing Emperor Jiawen's childish words, she countered: "The emperor assigns the account to the concubine, and the concubine follows the order. If you do it seriously, how can you make the emperor unhappy?"

Emperor Jiawen said, "No matter what, your evening time should belong to me."

Xiao Wanwan thought a little bit wrong for a while, and her thoughts flew to places where she was ashamed to speak.

But she quickly explained to herself in her heart: nine out of ten she guessed right, after all Zhao Yunsheng likes to bully herself at night.
