Xia Ruqing: "..."
Zhao Junyao hurriedly comforted her again.
"Qingqing, be good and stay put! I'll read for a bit more!"
In fact, he didn't want her to worry as well.
Matters of the court, what do they have to do with a young woman like her?
It's something he should shoulder!
But Xia Ruqing was not resigned.
Pouting, she obediently sat aside and put on a good face.
In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, she peeked behind Zhao Junyao, reading along with him.
However...
You never know until you see it, and upon seeing it, you're startled.
"Eh? Emperor, isn't this a potato?"
Zhao Junyao was startled and quickly turned around.
He saw a pair of wide, surprised apricot eyes, with excitement shining in them.
"Emperor, you're looking at illustrations!"
Zhao Junyao's forehead furrowed with lines.
"These aren't illustrations, these are the crop drawings sent by the Ministry of Revenue!"
Xia Ruqing gradually understood.
