Chapter 749: Diligence Chapter 749: Diligence Editor: Atlas Studios Qi Haoran hurriedly rushed into the palace.
When Qi Xiuyuan saw him panting, the anger in his heart cald down slightly.
He threw him a pile of things and said, “I heard that you’ve been very free recently, so help (the Emperor) settle these matters.” Qi Haoran blinked and sensitively sensed his Big Brother’s displeasure.
Ever since his big brother ascended the throne, other than referring to himself as “ (the Emperor)” in court, he had always referred to himself as “” when eting Qi Haoran in private.
He nervously pulled the things over.
As soon as he flipped through them, he could not help but frown.
After roughly flipping through all the morials, he pouted and said unhappily, “Big Brother, isn’t this the work of the Ministry of Rites?” Qi Xiuyuan glared at him.
“Your nephew’s confernt will take place in two days.
What’s wrong with you tiring yourself out a little for his sake as his uncle?
These are all submitted by the Ministry of Rites and need to be reviewed.
Hurry up and get them ready.
They need to be distributed at dawn tomorrow.” Qi Haoran’s jaw dropped.
He wouldn’t be this impatient if he was asked to do sothing for the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Justice.
But the Ministry of Rites… It wasn’t that he didn’t want to share his big brother’s burden, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake due to being unfamiliar with the Ministry of Rites stuff.
Qi Xiuyuan picked up a morial beside him and threw it at his head.
In response, Qi Haoran leaned back and the morial fell to the ground with a thud on his chest.
Because he was wearing clothes, it didn’t hurt.
“You’re quite diligent in serving your father-in-law, but you’re making all sorts of excuses for .
Even if you don’t understand, don’t you know how to ask?
When you go out and turn left, you’ll see the officials of the Ministry of Political Affairs on duty in the eting hall…” As Qi Xiuyuan spoke, he threw a morial at him.
Other than the sound of the morial hitting soone, the only sound in the hall was Qi Xiuyuan scolding Qi Haoran.
“…I think you’re just too free.
Tell , how long has it been since you entered the capital?
Other than diligently attending court in the first two weeks, how many court sessions have you attended since?
I’m so busy in the palace that I can’t wait to split into three people.
Yet you’re so busy that you’re touring around the city.
After going to Daming Mountain, you were even in the mood to go to the teahouse and sit for a day…” Qi Haoran felt very aggrieved.
In defense of himself, he said, “Big Brother, I didn’t do all that for the sake of having fun.
I was accompanying my father-in-law.
It wasn’t easy for him to co to the capital and he’s not staying for long.
Naturally, I have to play host…” It would have been better if Qi Haoran did not refute.
Once he did, the anger that Qi Xiuyuan had finally suppressed surged again.
He tossed morials at Qi Haoran non-stop and shouted, “So you still think that you’re in the right.
General Mu’s purpose for entering the capital is to congratulate the Crown Prince on being conferred the title.
How do you know that he wants to go out and play instead of staying at ho to accompany his family?
I was still thinking that you must be tired from the journey having just entered the capital, so I asked you to rest.
But from the looks of it, there’s no need for it.
I see that you’re very energetic.” Now, Qi Xiuyuan was just short of saying, “I’m considerate of you, but you were only thinking about your father-in-law.
Have you ever thought about , your big brother?’ Fortunately, Qi Haoran was not stupid enough to need Qi Xiuyuan to say it directly.
He blinked and bent down to pick up the morials.
Then, he walked out with a pile of morials and said bleakly, “Then I’ll go to the side to read the morials.” Qi Xiuyuan snorted and realized that he was covered in sweat.
Most of his fatigue from the past few days had dissipated, and he felt refreshed.
Indeed, scolding Haoran was good for his physical and ntal health.
anwhile, Qi Haoran, who was walking out with his head drooping, looked at the morials in his arms and sighed faintly.
He felt smug.
Big Brother was actually jealous of his father-in-law!
With a pained expression on his face but smugness filling his heart, Qi Haoran walked towards the conference hall in the side hall.
These morials had all been finalized by the officials of the Ministry of Rites for the confernt ceremony that was to take place in two days.
What he had to do was to confirm that there was nothing wrong with these morials and then circle them with a red pen.
Qi Haoran had long noticed that although he had carried away more than a third of the morials, there were still a lot of morials left on Big Brother’s imperial table that had not been approved.
If it was just Qi Xiuyuan alone, no matter how capable he was, he would not be able to finish approving them tonight.
After working throughout the entire night, he’d still have to continue tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow, he would have to wear formal attire to worship the heavens for the confernt.
In that case, Big Brother would not sleep for almost two days and two nights.
Qi Haoran was heartbroken and worried.
When he went to look for the officials from the Ministry of Rites, he urged them to hurry up.
When the officials on duty at the Ministry of Rites saw that Qi Haoran was holding a red pen and was about to read the morials, they were shocked to see that the Emperor actually trusted Prince Rong so much.
These were morials that could only be approved by the Emperor himself!
A few officials on duty couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
Qi Haoran frowned and looked at the obviously distracted officials.
With his brows furrowed, he said, “Lords, didn’t you hear my question?
Have the positions of the ministers been confird?” The few of them quickly ca back to their senses and replied cautiously, “Your Highness, please read the morial.
We’ll confirm it again.” Qi Haoran nodded.
That was what he wanted to do.
As long as he read the morial once and the few of them checked it together, any problems could be corrected on the spot.
If there were no problems, he could just draw a circle and approve it.
This way, the speed would be much faster and accuracy was ensured.
Qi Haoran was so imrsed in it that he did not notice how much ti had passed.
It was only when the last morial was approved that he realized that his spine was aching.
Outside, the gong had just sounded, indicating that it was already 11 pm.
Only then did Qi Haoran feel sleepy and hungry.
Looking at the other officials who were dozing off, Qi Haoran waved his hand and called for the emissary.
The emissary quickly blinked away the dryness in his eyes and jogged over.
“Your Highness.” “Go and get so food for the officials.” The emissary bowed and agreed.
Qi Haoran packed up the morials and carried them back to look for his big brother.
Indeed, Qi Xiuyuan did not rest.
He was rubbing his eyes with his eyes closed when an emissary was about to cut the candle with scissors when Qi Haoran glared at him.
The emissary’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly put away the scissors before bowing and retreating.
Qi Haoran placed the morials on the imperial table and went behind Qi Xiuyuan to massage his temples.
The force was different from that of the palace maids and emissaries, causing Qi Xiuyuan to instantly wake up.
Qi Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly and asked, “How do you know this?” Qi Haoran said proudly, “That’s how Ah Ling massages whenever I am tired.” Qi Xiuyuan nodded and said, “No wonder.” “Big Brother, let’s stop here for tonight.
The emissary said that you haven’t slept much these few days.
The day after tomorrow, you have to bring Little Treasure to worship the heavens.
It’s not good to go with dark circles under your eyes.” Seeing that Qi Xiuyuan remained silent, Qi Haoran said, “I won’t leave the palace today.
I’ll help you deal with the morials.” “That’s rare,” Qi Xiuyuan said lightly.
“I’m surprised you’d feel sorry for your big brother too.” Qi Haoran blushed and muttered softly, “When have I not felt sorry for you?
I’m just a bit nervous because I’m entertaining my father-in-law for the first ti, so I forgot to tell you.
Besides, I’m just setting an example for my future son-in-law.
He’ll have to serve like this in the future, too.” Qi Xiuyuan snorted and asked, “Where’s your daughter?” Qi Haoran choked and said, “Big Brother, don’t worry.
Ah Ling will definitely give birth to a girl next.” Qi Xiuyuan imdiately opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
“Sister-in-law is pregnant?” The brothers only had one son each, so news of pregnancy certainly delighted him.
Qi Haoran chuckled.
“Soon, soon!”
