Chapter 36: He’s a Tyrant, Not an Incapable Ruler

Su Nuan blinked. She did not know what her little tyrant was up to, but she followed him obediently.

The Imperial study was still filled with memorials to the throne. Su Nuan looked at Feng Junyi’s hand, and she immediately wore a strange expression on her face.

His hand is injured. In fact, it’s his right hand. How can he still review the memorials to the throne?

She looked at the mountains of memorials to the throne and asked uneasily, “Big Brother Emperor, must you approve all these memorials to the throne today? Can’t you leave them for tomorrow?”

Instead of answering her question, Feng Junyi asked, “Can you read?”

“Huh?”

She was stunned for a moment before nodding. “I can read a little.”

The words here were written in traditional Chinese characters and were not much different from the simplified characters in her previous world..

“You’re quite different. Come here.”

Feng Junyi waved his hand, and Su Nuan hurried forward. Feng Junyi pointed at a stack of memorials and said lazily, “As you can see, my hand is injured, and I can’t review the memorials to the throne. You’ll do it.”

With that, he placed the writing brush in her hands.

He’s letting me review the memorials to the throne?

Su Nuan let go of the brush quickly. “People say that the harem cannot interfere with government affairs. If I interfere, the ministers will skin me alive.”

I don’t want to die! I want to live! Even if I’m in a book, I don’t want to restart all over again.

I’ll be reborn after I die, but being killed is still painful.

Besides, I have already fostered a good relationship with the little tyrant. I’ve lived for two to three months this time. If I have to restart again, I’ll go crazy!

“So you do know all this.”

Feng Junyi said, “Then help me sort them out. If they’re really important matters that benefit the country and the people, hand them over and I’ll review them. If it’s something trivial, just draw a circle to indicate that you’ve read them.”

!!!

We can do that?

In that case, Su Nuan didn’t think it was not entirely improper. They could say that she had not read the memorials to the throne and had only taken a look. She also drew a circle randomly while she was at it.

So, she happily agreed. “Okay, Big Brother Emperor. Nuan Nuan is willing to do these things as long as I can share your burden.”

“Mhm.”

Feng Junyi responded and pulled her to sit beside him. Her fragrance lingered close to him, and Feng Junyi could easily see her chubby little face with only a turn of his head.

Her fingers were still so beautiful and appeared much thinner when she held the shaft of the brush. Her nails were clean and neat as always and looked pleasing to the eye.

Meanwhile, Su Nuan was already flipping through the memorials to the throne.

The first memorial to the throne spoke of a farmer and his pig. The minister in charge reported that the pig had given birth to 20 piglets all at once. Even the farmer’s wife gave birth to five children.

“High yield, this is really high yield! So there really are people who can give birth to so many children,” Su Nuan remarked.

She drew a circle and moved on to the next.

The subsequent ones could be summarised: some detailed small household affairs, some expressed concern for national matters, some asked for disaster relief funds, and some reported riots.

Of course, Su Nuan did not delve into complicated matters and handed them to Feng Junyi.

She watched as Feng Junyi used his hand to hold the writing brush. There was no fear on his face. She started to think that if Feng Junyi did not have the image of a tyrant, he could be comparable to the male protagonist.

He was domineering, handsome, and affectionate. If he weren’t cruel, he would shine brighter than even the male protagonist.

Feng Junyi sensed her stare and felt a little giddy.

If someone else were to stare at him like that, he would only feel disgusted. But, for some reason, she was different.

In the end, the corners of his lips involuntarily curled up. He asked in a deep voice, “What are you looking at?”

Su Nuan was lost in her thoughts and could not help but say, “I’m looking at you, Big Brother Emperor. Why are you so handsome?”

Eunuch Wang had been dozing off, but he snapped awake when he heard this and immediately knelt.

The Emperor hated it when people praised him for his good looks.

Eunuch Wang remembered the Emperor’s coronation half a year ago. A minister had approached and offered him a beautiful woman. She was so beautiful that she put mother nature herself to shame. She had been staring at the Emperor, and the Emperor also asked her the same question. The woman took advantage of the fact that she was beautiful and complimented the Emperor’s appearance candidly. When the Emperor heard this, he drew his sword and cut off her head.

Their little Empress…

A thin layer of sweat formed on Eunuch Wang’s forehead again. To his surprise, the Emperor paused for a moment before saying, “I also know that I am very good-looking. Let’s continue.”

So they’ve moved on from it just like that?

After confirming that it was indeed so, Eunuch Wang finally felt relieved.

He instructed the palace servants to bring some tea and pastries and continued to wait quietly at the side.

It was late at night, but there were still many memorials to the throne.

Su Nuan yawned as she sorted them.

“Send the Empress back to her palace to rest.”

Feng Junyi instructed Eunuch Wang when he saw the little girl yawning next to him continuously.

Su Nuan shook her head. “No, Big Brother Emperor, there are still many memorials to the throne. Let me help you sort them out first.”

She had noticed that Feng Junyi’s wound, which had been bandaged, began bleeding again because he had been holding a brush and reviewing the memorials.

She stubbornly believed that even if she was only helping to draw a circle, she was still of some help.

Feng Junyi looked at her wordlessly. Eunuch Wang hurriedly rushed forward and whispered, “Your Majesty, since His Majesty asked you to return and rest, you should return and rest. If I remember correctly, Your Majesty, you still have to get up and go to school tomorrow at five o’clock.”

???

Five o’clock???

I have to wake up at five in the morning? With all my clothes and hair accessories, I’ll have to wake up even earlier?

I’m gonna cry.

It’s probably midnight now. Even if I go to bed now, I’ll only be able to sleep for five to six hours.

She couldn’t help but sigh. “Alright, I’ll go back now.”

She turned back to glance at Feng Junyi, feeling even more sorry for him.

The Imperial study was a distance away from her Fengqi Palace. Su Nuan was wearing the cloak that the Eldest Princess had made for her. As she walked, she asked Eunuch Wang, “Eunuch Wang, has His Majesty always worked this hard?”

Eunuch Wang said, “That’s right. Ever since His Majesty assumed the reins of government, he has always been working hard.”

If she had not seen how he worked with her own eyes, she would have thought that the little tyrant not only killed without batting an eyelid but also abandoned government affairs.

She realized she had misunderstood him.

Feng Junyi is a tyrant but not an incapable ruler. Besides the fact that he loves killing people, he is a good Emperor.

Su Nuan fell asleep as soon as she returned to the palace. Her head had barely touched the pillow before Zhen Zhu came to wake her up. She was too sleepy and did not open her eyes, listening to Zhen Zhu ramble on as she dressed her up.

“Today is Your Majesty’s first day at school. What should you wear? Since you’re going to school, you shouldn’t dress too grandly, but you shouldn’t be wearing a wide sleeve dress because it’ll be inconvenient if you have to write. I think you should wear this.”
