Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

"So what are you going to do with them?"

Gu Xici looked at the nervous Liu Sizhi through the gauze. Wasn't her previous warning obvious enough? He even wanted to perfunctorily deal with the little princess.

Since they like to be perfunctory so much, let them be perfunctory to their heart's content later.

"I... since they can't complete the task, let them leave the Clothing Department and do some rough work. I believe they can still complete simple rough work tasks."

After Lin Jinxi finished speaking, she carefully observed the Imperial Master's expression, wondering whether the Imperial Master was satisfied with her handling of the matter.

This was the best punishment she could think of. She didn't even dare to think of execution.

Don't do evil, no matter how small it is. Although the people in the Clothing Department look down on her, she cannot use this as an excuse to kill others at will.

Moreover, the punishment she just gave should have been severe and should not have been humiliating to the dignity of the royal family.

"Oh, Your Highness is really innocent and cute (derogatory), if they all do rough work, what about your court dress?"

"Aren't there others?"

Lin Jinxi was confused. She was only punishing those who could not complete the court robes on time, not everyone in the Shangyi Department.

"Sewing court robes requires accessories, patterns, needlework and other tedious steps, and many people are involved. If they leave, the remaining people will not be able to complete the work, and other novices will not be able to reach their skills in a short time."

"We can't rely on their skills to not punish them, but if we punish them, no one will be able to complete the court dress."

Lin Jinxi was conflicted and didn't know what to do. The Imperial Master was right, she was so innocent and cute.

Liu Sizhi from the Shangyi Department couldn't help but feel proud when he heard this. If they wanted to wear court robes, they couldn't punish them. If they were punished, there would be no court robes to wear at the coronation ceremony. The new emperor could only wear new court robes when he ascended the throne, which symbolized a new atmosphere.

"Today I will teach you an idiom: killing a chicken to scare the monkey."

Gu Xici looked at the stupid Liu Sizhi and could still laugh at this time. Didn't she know that in the palace, you cannot offend anyone who has a higher status than you, unless your backer is stronger than the backer of the person you offended.

Now, is there anyone more powerful than Lin Jinxi or Lin Jinxi’s backers? No one.

"Sizhi Liu from the Shangyi Department has been negligent in her duties and will be demoted to a low-ranking palace maid from today onwards. As for the others who sew court robes, I will give you a chance.

If you can complete one hundred court robes that satisfy the princess before tomorrow morning, your punishment for laziness will be forgiven.

Of course, you can also try your best to bet that the princess won't demote you all to low-ranking maids. How about that?"

Gu Xici directly dismissed Liu Sizhi from the Shangyi Department as a warning to the others. Only when disaster strikes them will they not sit idly by and take real action.

"Master Imperial Master, forgive me."

"Please forgive me, Master Imperial Master. We really cannot complete the 100 court robes. We will never dare to offend Her Royal Highness the Princess again. Please forgive me, Master Imperial Master."

Liu Sizhi from the Department of Clothing and the others knelt down one after another. Liu Sizhi from the Department of Clothing kept kowtowing. She still didn't understand why the Imperial Master wanted to vent his anger on this lowly princess.

Lin Jinxi looked at the people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy without any sympathy, but could a hundred tasks really be completed? Ten tasks probably could not be completed. Was the Imperial Master giving them a chance of hope, or a chance of despair?

Gu Xici put his hand on Lin Jinxi's shoulder and suddenly said, "What, Princess, you want to plead for them? No, they are so lazy, how can we not punish them?"

Lin Jinxi looked at the Imperial Master at a loss. She didn't say anything just now. Only when she saw the Imperial Master's hand on her shoulder extending a finger did she suddenly realize what was going on.

"Master Imperial Master, they were just following the instructions of Liu Sizhi from the Imperial Clothing Department. We just need to severely punish the mastermind, and they can redeem themselves. One hundred pieces is too much, so I will let them go this time if they can just make one court dress that satisfies me, okay?"

Gu Xici was very satisfied with Lin Jinxi's ability to comprehension. He withdrew his hand from Lin Jinxi's shoulder and pretended to think.

"Since the princess is pleading for them, then let's do as the princess says."

The Imperial Master had good intentions. He not only punished the mastermind on Lin Jinxi's behalf, but also helped Lin Jinxi win the hearts of the people.

After hearing this, the people from the Clothing Department thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess for her great kindness. They said that the Imperial Master was right, the Princess was indeed innocent and adorable (in a positive sense).

They will definitely sew the court dress for Her Royal Highness the Princess carefully, so that Her Royal Highness the Princess will be the most beautiful person at the coronation ceremony.

"Princess, please ask the Imperial Master for mercy. I won't dare to do that again."

When Liu Sizhi from the Department of Clothing saw that others were spared severe punishment at the princess's plea, she hurried to the princess for help. She had climbed to Liu Sizhi's position with great difficulty and could not fall down like this.

"This princess cannot change the decision of the Imperial Master. You should ask the Imperial Master for mercy yourself."

Lin Jinxi turned her head away and didn't look at Liu Sizhi. If she let him go this time, there would be more people bullying her in the future.

Seeing that Lin Jinxi refused to help her, Liu Sizhi became furious and cursed Lin Jinxi, and was soon dragged away.

"Master Imperial Master, it's rare to see you today. Let's have dinner together."

Lin Jinxi looked at the Imperial Master expectantly and did not notice Shaoyao's indescribable expression.

Shaoyao still remembered the last time she dined with the imperial teacher. She and the princess didn't even dare to pick up the food with their chopsticks. Why did the princess take the initiative to invite them this time?

"can."

Gu Xici happened to have something to tell Lin Jinxi, so he accepted Lin Jinxi's invitation.

During the meal this time, Lin Jinxi was much more open-minded. Not only did she pick up some dishes for herself, she also picked up a few dishes for the Imperial Master, saying that the Imperial Master had a white veil covering his eyes and it was inconvenient for him to pick up some dishes.

She wanted to please the Imperial Master and let him put down his guard against her. In just a few days, she experienced the benefits that power brought her, and all of this depended on the favor of the Imperial Master.

"You did a good job today."

"Really, I only understood the profound meaning of the State Master by accident, hehe."

After hearing the compliment, Lin Jinxi replied modestly, and the little person in her heart was so happy that she flew to the sky. This was not an ordinary compliment, this was the compliment from the national teacher to her.

"After tomorrow, you can no longer call yourself "I". You must call yourself "I". Always remember that you are the emperor of Xi State, and everyone in Xi State must listen to you."

"Then will the Imperial Master also listen to me?"

Lin Jinxi was curious, did the Imperial Master really want to help her become the emperor? Should she believe what the Imperial Master said?

Sister Shaoyao often warned her not to trust anyone in the palace, no matter how good that person was to her, she might have ulterior motives for her kindness.

But after seeing the Imperial Master, she always felt at peace, as if with the Imperial Master around, she didn't have to be afraid of anything, no matter how big the problem was.

"nature."

Gu Xici smiled slightly. It doesn’t matter whether you heard her or not, that’s what she said.

"Then I want to see your eyes. You can clearly see, so why do you cover your eyes with a white veil?"
