OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 745: Today, I Need Your Help, Daddy
The Duke Ping waited for quite a while, his expression turning from solemn to gradually shocked.
He hadn’t expected that the ancestors would say Feng Fuce wasn’t an enemy!
Yet, his youngest son had lost his life in a duel with Feng Fuce years ago.
Could there be another layer of injustice here?
The Duke Ping slowly stood up, speaking solemnly: "Rest assured, ancestors, I, An Chengze, am forthright in character."
"If I find out that Marquis Wan is not an enemy of our An family, then all past grievances shall be written off!"
"But, if he truly is the one who killed my son, then I shall never share the same sky with him!"
"I will not wrong any innocent person, nor will I spare a guilty enemy!"
After speaking, the Duke Ping bowed to the ancestors’ plaques before turning to leave.
During this time, Bai Zhi’er remained obediently huddled in the highest corner.
The door closed, and the little one blinked her long eyelashes in bewilderment.
Did she just make this uncle misunderstand something?
...
Morning.
The little one sat up rubbing her eyes and yawning sleepily.
"Zhi’er." Bai Xilie approached with a smile: "Today, Daddy needs your help with something."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her misty eyes, soft and adorable, saying: "What is it?"
Bai Xilie lowered his head and whispered a few words to her.
The sleepiness in Bai Zhi’er’s eyes was dispelled.
"So that’s how it is, Daddy rest assured, Zhi Bao will help you!"
A moment later, at the morning court session.
The Civil and Military Officials watched Bai Zhi’er on the Dragon Chair.
The little one, well-acquainted, waved her hand, lifting her small chin, her crystalline eyes as beautiful as a pair of gemstones.
"Ministers, you may skip formalities. From left to right, report your government affairs in order, please!"
The ministers exchanged glances.
Today, for unknown reasons, the Emperor did not appear, and sitting on the Dragon Chair was once again the little Princess.
Bai Zhi’er’s voice was soft and sticky, yet her attitude was exceptionally serious.
"Every minister must report at least one matter to me."
This put the ministers in a dilemma!
Usually, Bai Xilie would ask if they had any matters to present.
Unlike the little Princess, who required everyone to mention one government matter they’re currently busy with. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Among the ministers, there also existed a small group who simply idled their days away.
This indeed posed a challenge.
Bai Zhi’er gave minor punishment and major admonition to those ministers who couldn’t report their affairs.
The little one sternly declared: "Being an official is your duty; how can you be a good official if you’re so muddled in your own duties?"
"I will penalize each of you by requiring you to recite all the records from your government office. One month later, I will conduct a random check, humph!"
Historian Wang listened nearby, his eyes full of emotion and excitement.
Princess, indeed, is a good child dedicated to the nation and the people!
He picked up his pen, grandly recording the Princess’s blend of kindness and authority.
At this moment, the Minister of Revenue stepped forward.
He bowed and said: "Reporting to the Princess, Your Official has a matter regarding Prince Qing, unsure if it should be stated."
Feng Fuce turned his gaze towards the Minister of Revenue.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes: "If it concerns national affairs, then speak."
The Minister of Revenue handed over a memorandum.
Chief Eunuch Quanxi received it and passed it to Bai Zhi’er for inspection.
The little one opened it and read while listening to the Minister of Revenue speak.
"What the Princess is viewing are the Silver Taels a veteran receives annually from the government after retirement."
"According to our dynasty’s law, veterans returning to their hometowns can receive thirty taels of pension silver annually from the government."
"Moreover, for those soldiers of merit, the government awards an additional acre of good land."
