The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Jingxi and the other two finished writing very quickly.

The eunuch took it and presented it to Emperor Kangwu.

After Emperor Kangwu finished reading, he nodded slightly: "They are the same."

The Minister of Personnel and the Vice Minister of Personnel felt cold sweat pouring down their backs.

Princess Chen'an is truly meticulous; she had them write separately.

Now, they have absolutely no room to maneuver.

If they were to speak directly, given their years of tacit understanding, they could still set a trap for Qi Jingxi.

But it's writing, by its very nature.

Without communication, all the unspoken understanding is completely useless.

I had no choice but to honestly write it down truthfully.

After Emperor Kangwu finished reading it, he sent someone to find the item at the place Qi Jingxi had mentioned.

After a while, the items were retrieved.

As those pamphlets were presented to Emperor Kangwu, the King of Wu's bad premonition became increasingly apparent.

Emperor Kangwu flipped through the pages; the only sound in the entire hall was the rustling of the paper.

Upon hearing this sound, the Minister of Personnel's heart was pounding wildly.

He admitted that the tasks he assigned to Qi Jingxi were problematic.

Even for a properly promoted Assistant Minister of Personnel, this would be somewhat troublesome, let alone Qi Jingxi, a playboy who was suddenly stuffed into the Ministry of Personnel.

But if His Majesty were to ask about this, he would have something to say.

The Minister of Personnel carefully considered his words, waiting for the Emperor's question so he could give a respectable answer.

If this shuts up King Rui, King Wu will look at him differently.

Emperor Kangwu finally finished reading, and he looked at Qi Jingxi meaningfully: "This is the task the Minister of Personnel assigned to you?"

"Yes," Qi Jingxi replied.

"The Minister of Personnel says you're never at the Ministry of Personnel," Emperor Kangwu said.

Qi Jingxi protested, "Grandfather, I go to the Ministry of Personnel every day; I'm not absent all day!"

Emperor Kangwu's gaze fell upon the Minister of Personnel.

The Minister of Personnel hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, after the Ministry of Personnel assigned tasks to Qi Jingxi, he never communicated with his colleagues. He leaves his room in less than an hour each day."

He did not deny that Qi Jingxi went to the Ministry of Personnel every day.

The problem is, if they can't even stay for an hour, what's the point of Qi Jingxi going or not?

"You haven't checked the tasks you entrusted to him. Have you seen if they've been completed?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

The Minister of Personnel lowered his head in distress, but secretly glanced at Prince Rui beside him.

Prince Rui was immediately enraged: "What do you mean by this?"

"Father, what else could he mean?" Qi Zhiyu sneered. "He just thinks that Second Brother got into the Ministry of Personnel because of your connections."

"He entrusted the matter to his second brother, but he never expected his second brother to be able to complete it."

"No wonder my second brother put all the finished stuff in a storage room where no one would look at the files for years."

"My second brother didn't abuse his power, but some people are prejudiced and look down on him!"

Upon hearing her younger sister's words, Qi Jingxi immediately nodded vigorously in agreement, while also looking at Emperor Kangwu with a pitiful expression.

Emperor Kangwu: "..."

Does Qi Jingxi still know that he is a boy?

What's with that half-crying expression?

Emperor Kangwu looked away in disgust.

Qi Jingxi was stunned. What did her grandfather mean by this?

Didn't he act pitiful and aggrieved enough?

Qi Zhiyu chuckled inwardly; her second brother had gone too far with his act.

"Father, I never imagined that it was because of me that my son would suffer such injustice!" Prince Rui said, his voice hoarse from suppressed emotions.

His voice, as if it had been rubbed by rough stones, coupled with his helplessness and heartache, truly brought to life the image of a helpless father.

When Emperor Kangwu saw him like this, he was suddenly shocked.

The helplessness and hardship he experienced when he fought for the throne, memories he thought he had long forgotten, instantly resurfaced.

Instantly, he felt the pain his son was experiencing.

He knew, of course, that the boss was mostly acting, but... the hardships he had endured were real!

"Why did the Ministry of Personnel assign these tasks to Qi Jingxi?" Emperor Kangwu asked.

Before the Minister of Personnel could speak, Emperor Kangwu pressed on, "Vice Minister of Personnel, I ask you, how long will it take you to accomplish these tasks?"

The Vice Minister of Personnel suddenly shuddered: "Your Majesty, if it were up to me, it would take several days without sleep to complete this."

Emperor Kangwu smiled but did not continue speaking.

Qi Zhiyu frowned and asked, "Grandfather, is the job the Ministry of Personnel assigned to my second brother too difficult?"

Emperor Kangwu nodded slightly.

Qi Zhiyu stared at the Minister of Personnel with a cold smile: "Sir, on the one hand you dare not ask about my second brother's progress, and on the other hand you assign such a difficult task to my second brother."

"Are you really afraid to offend my second brother, or are you trying to force him to back down and give Qi Jinghong the position?"

The Minister of Personnel naturally wouldn't admit it, and he hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Princess, you've misunderstood."

"If Qi Jingxi wants to learn, I will naturally send someone to teach him how to do it."

"But after Qi Jingxi received these assignments, he didn't ask a single question."

"Your Majesty... this is a difficult situation."

"Qi Jinghong, on the other hand, is completely different."

"After getting the job, I immediately went to my colleagues for advice, and if I didn't understand something, I would ask them again and again until the matter was resolved."

Qi Zhiyu sneered repeatedly. Even at this point, they still had to put her down.

Is she trying to elevate Qi Jinghong by putting down her second brother?

Qi Zhiyu looked at Emperor Kangwu: "Grandfather, my second brother didn't do anything?"

A smile flickered in Emperor Kangwu's eyes; this girl was clearly asking a question she already knew the answer to.

"No, your second brother did a great job. He did everything perfectly."

The Minister of Personnel looked over in shock. How could this be?

Emperor Kangwu ordered that the booklet be distributed to his civil and military officials.

Grand Secretary Zhang picked up one of the books and began to read it.

He quickly flipped through a few pages, found the key to the problem, and after reading it, he looked at Qi Jingxi with a complicated expression.

What a spoiled brat! No wonder he's the son of Prince Rui; he's truly a man of hidden talents.

"This... how is this possible?" the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel exclaimed, his hands clutching the booklet, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Qi Jingxi finished; everything was done.

Moreover, the method Qi Jingxi used was even simpler than the methods they were used to, and the problems he dealt with were all watertight!

"Prince Rui, it's against the rules for you to secretly help Qi Jingxi like this." This was the only solution the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel could think of.

It must have been Qi Jingxi who took the things he was going to make home and asked Prince Rui to do them for him.

Prince Rui looked at the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel as if he were a fool.

Qi Zhiyu asked sarcastically, "Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, look closely at the ink used in this booklet. That's from your Ministry of Personnel. Our Prince Rui's Mansion would never use ink of this grade."

"This is what my second brother completed himself at the Ministry of Personnel!"

The Vice Minister of Personnel did not believe it: "But he only spends less than an hour in the Ministry of Personnel each day."

"My second brother finished in less than an hour, is that not allowed?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "Is it so hard to admit that my second brother is capable?"
