Gong Huiyu.

No matter what, Li Chen still got the saintess's real name.

Perhaps not many people in the world know her real name.

The next day, Li Chen woke up early.

Leaving Zhao Rui's gentle embrace from the Hall of Hundred Flowers, Li Chen got dressed and went to the Hall of Studying Government while listening to Wan Jiaojiao, who was following behind him, reporting on today's schedule as usual.

"Your Highness will be reviewing documents from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Punishment this morning. These documents are all quite important, especially those from the Ministry of Works. Someone from there has come to inquire twice, saying that they urgently need your approval before they can implement them."

After lunch, Your Highness needs to meet with officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs again. The imperial examination is about to begin, and some details need to be decided by Your Highness.

These arrangements were all finalized yesterday. Also, Mr. Sun from the Department of Etiquette came to inquire. Tomorrow is the day Master Jing arrives in the capital.

“Following ancient customs, the imperial court should send officials to greet such a wise person. The Ministry of Rites presented a list of candidates for Your Highness to choose from.”

Li Chen has always cultivated Wan Jiaojiao as his personal secretary.

In fact, Wan Jiaojiao did a pretty good job with this task.

Originally, according to the palace's duty plan, the emperor's daily schedule was basically fixed. If there were any unexpected situations, he could only adapt accordingly. Several eunuch departments within the palace were mainly responsible for the emperor's itinerary.

but basically they do mostly passive work.

Li Chen hasn't ascended the throne yet, so he is carrying out a small reform within his own East Palace.

It was she who truly established the secretary's responsibilities and personnel. Her schedule for the day, including whom to meet and what to do, was largely arranged and handled by Wan Jiaojiao based on urgency.

Wan Jiaojiao's information sources come from various departments and institutions outside the East Palace who bring official documents. These documents are then sorted by the departments under the East Palace and delivered to Wan Jiaojiao for her to coordinate and arrange.

Wan Jiaojiao, unsure of herself, would ask Li Chen what he meant.

A well-organized itinerary not only greatly improves work efficiency, but most importantly, Li Chen himself feels much more relaxed.

Upon hearing Wan Jiaojiao's last words, Li Chen paused slightly before saying, "I won't look at the list. I will personally go out of the city to greet them tomorrow."

"Everyone in the world has seen how the imperial court treats Lady Dantangjing. Those scholars most value face."

"Very well, then. This palace shall give them face. I'll have the Crown Prince go ten miles out of the city to greet them. That should be a respectable enough display."

As he spoke and issued instructions, Li Chen stepped into the Xizheng Hall, which had been swept clean.

As soon as he entered, Li Chen saw a figure in white standing beneath two enormous bookshelves that were almost as tall and wide as the walls on either side of Xizheng Hall.

Have you had breakfast yet

Li Chen walked towards his own position and casually asked.

The words were directed at Gong Huiyu, but Li Chen didn't even glance her way, not paying any attention to her at all.

Gong Huiyu hesitated for a moment, seeming a little uncomfortable with such a commonplace question. Then she replied, "Used it."

When Gong Huiyu spoke, Li Chen had already sat down and, with Wan Jiaojiao's help, began a new day of busy work.

And Gong Huiyu, who didn't know what she should do, just stood quietly in the corner, watching the busy two people and eunuchs who occasionally entered and exited with many official documents and imperial edicts. She felt out of place with the environment here.had been under house arrest for a long time, and he already knew about it.But he couldn't get in himself, which he hadn't expected.He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and Zhao Xuanji smiled at th...
