After being read, she became an empress by eating melons

In the early morning, the faint sunlight shines through the mist onto the earth, and all things are bathed in this soft light.

As Nan Rongjie was walking towards the carriage, he heard the snoring coming from the carriage from afar, echoing in the morning air. He stretched out his hand to push open the door, and the "creak" sound, like an alarm clock in the morning, broke the silence around him.

This sudden sound, just like Nan Rongxi's daily alarm clock, woke Nan Rongxi, who was sleeping soundly in the carriage, up suddenly.

She folded up her small quilt skillfully, her movements smooth and quick, as if she had practiced it countless times.

Nan Rongjie had no other choice but to send her back to her room to sleep but she refused. In order to get a few more minutes of sleep, she would always put on her court robes and sleep in the carriage the day before.

On the way to the main hall, the sun shone on the steps of the Golden Palace, and Nan Rongxi's carriage slowly drove over. Before the carriage stopped, officials from all walks of life rushed forward and greeted her warmly. Her name was now well-known in the Great Zhou, and she had become a celebrity in the Great Zhou.

Nan Rongxi smiled as she stepped out of the carriage and exchanged greetings with the officials one by one. Afterwards, she followed the officials into the main hall to meet Emperor Rentong.

Emperor Rentong sat on the dragon throne, his eyes were like torches, he waved his hand and announced the start of today's court meeting. All officials immediately got busy and started a day of being treated like cattle and horses.

At this time, the Minister of War Xiang Rong stepped forward with a look of worry on his face.

He bowed to Emperor Rentong and said, "Your Majesty, for unknown reasons, soldiers on the frontier have recently been prone to rheumatism, and it has been difficult to cure. These soldiers have been guarding the country in the harsh environment of the frontier, but now they are suffering from illness, which is really heartbreaking. I beg the emperor to send famous doctors to treat them, so as not to delay military affairs and affect the peace of the country."

Emperor Rentong frowned upon hearing this. He knew the hardships and importance of the frontier soldiers, and also understood how unbearable the pain of rheumatism was for the soldiers.

He said in a deep voice: "Minister Xiang Rong is right. The soldiers on the frontier are the backbone of the country. Their health is related to the safety of the country. I will immediately order the Imperial Hospital to select famous doctors to go to the frontier and make sure to cure the soldiers' rheumatism."

System: [Xizi, there is a big news here! Today I will tell you about the big news of the Ministry of War! ]

Emperor Rentong: Is there something going on?!

Xiang Rong: What’s going on?

Nan Rongxi instantly woke up: [Okay, okay, tell me now! It’s just right to wake me up!]

System: [Let me tell you a love story first! Once upon a time, there was a courtesan named Zhang Shishi in Baihua Tower. She was extremely beautiful and talented, and was loved by everyone. However, she had never met a man who could make her heart beat.]

[The nights at Baihualou are always lively, with bright lights and melodious music. Zhang Shishi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood on the stage, dancing gracefully one song after another, attracting cheers and applause from countless people.]

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, I also want to experience the night at Baihualou! ]

Emperor Rentong: ...

Nan Rongjie: How could I give birth to a thing like you...

System: [Don't interrupt, listen to me.] However, she always felt a little lonely in her heart, because she knew that the cheers and applause were only because of her beauty, not because of herself.

[One day, a young man named Li Yi walked into Baihua Tower. He was different from the others. He didn't seem to come to appreciate Zhang Shishi's dancing, but was attracted by her clear and bright eyes. He sat in the corner, watching Zhang Shishi dance quietly, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration.]

[Zhang Shishi also noticed Li Yi's presence. She found that his gaze was different from others. His sincerity and affection moved her. She decided to approach him and talk to him.]

[The two began to talk about poetry and songs, and their common interests and topics made them get along better and better. Zhang Shishi found that Li Yi was not only talented, but also kind-hearted. After Li Yi visited Baihualou several times, the two fell in love, and then Li Yi redeemed her! ]

Nan Rongxi: [Tongzi, you've been talking for so long, what does this story have to do with the Ministry of War? ]

Emperor Rentong: Good question!

Xiang Rong: Isn’t Zhang Shishi the female boss who sells drugs to the military?

All the officials immediately lowered their voices and pricked up their ears to prepare for the big melon inside.

System: [Xizi, Zhang Shishi is the female boss who provides medicinal materials to the army! ]

Nan Rongxi: [Oh my god, the oiran becomes a female boss, there must be a lot of stories behind this! ]

Emperor Rentong: Do you mean there is something wrong with the medicine, not the military doctor?

Officials: Someone is going to be in trouble again.

System: [This Li Yi actually has a family, and his family runs a pharmacy. Li Yi doesn't really like Zhang Shishi. He used Zhang Shishi before because the old man Chen Li, the Minister of War, fell in love with Zhang Shishi at first sight.]

Emperor Rentong: Damn it, damn it, if it weren’t for the system, I would be deceived again!

Xiang Rong: This bastard!

Murong Qing: It’s time to work, it’s time to work, another KPI I picked up for free.

When Chen Li heard this, sweat broke out on his face. Zhang Shishi assured him that there was no problem with the medicine.

Nan Rongxi's lips curled up: [Then I know, it must be Li Yi who pua this love-brained Zhang Shishi, and then let her get involved with the old man Chen Li, yeah, it must be like this! ]

Emperor Rentong: What is PUA?

Baiguan: Well, that should be the case!

System: [Xizi, you are really smart. This is indeed the case. After getting involved with Chen Li, Li Yi asked Zhang Shishi to do business. Suddenly, the courtesan became a famous businessman. However, there is another detail. In fact, Chen Li and Zhang Shishi were kept in the dark and always thought that their medicine was fine.]

[It was that bastard Li Yi who replaced the medicine Poria cocos with wild taro. He made a fortune, but the soldiers suffered. Now it is the rainy season. The Poria cocos in the army was originally used to prevent and treat rheumatism, but now it has been replaced with poisonous wild taro. If you eat too much of this wild taro, it can be fatal in serious cases.]

Emperor Rentong: These bastards all deserve to die!

Xiang Rong: These bastards made me misunderstand the military doctor!

After hearing this, Chen Li collapsed on the ground: Li Yi, this bastard, is hurting me! As expected, wild flowers on the roadside cannot be picked!

Nan Rongxi: [This Li Yi is so bold, isn't he afraid of being discovered and beheaded? ]

System: [Hasn’t he already found a scapegoat, Zhang Shishi, who is a love-brained person? Isn’t this person smart? ]

Nan Rongxi: [So, always keep a rational mind! ]

When Emperor Rentong heard this, he was furious. The soldiers fought hard on the front line, but they didn't expect that this corrupt official and profiteer would actually harm their lives behind the scenes. He roared, "Murong Qing, this frequent rheumatism incident among soldiers on the frontier must be thoroughly investigated. All those involved will be severely punished, and those with serious crimes will be sentenced to death!"

Murong Qing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will lead the Censorate to quickly find out the truth! Give an explanation to the border soldiers!"

Chen Li, Zhang Shishi and Li Yi were soon arrested and brought to justice. If you didn't check, you wouldn't know. Once you checked, you would be shocked to find out that this bastard Li Yi made 10 taels of silver just by selling this fake medicine. All the property of the Li family was confiscated this time, and the national treasury had an extra small income.

This time, Nan Rongxi made great contributions again, and Emperor Rentong became more and more aware of the importance of this God-given system.
