The Crown Princess was reading the report that the First Prince had given in the hands of the Crown Prince to her. She was impressed with the new rules and regulations devised for the Han Empire. A well-systemized network of bureaucrats who will be responsible for each of their work to the body above them.
"Why are you smiling?" Ying Lili heard the voice of Sheng Li. She lifted her eyes and gaped at him. Ying Lili was on the chaise, her weight was on one of the elbows.
"The new administration is perfect to curb the Corruption, to increase the exposure of the people to the higher-ups. That's why I was smiling," proclaimed Ying Lili.
Sheng Li stopped near the chaise while Ying Lili put the report on the table there. Sheng Li from the other side sat behind her. "Everyone is now respectful to Empress Hui. So, what did the Brother tell you? What was the reason that he left the feast in the middle?" Ying Lili waited for Sheng Li to answer.
