After swapping bodies with the princess, this prince slaughtered his way through the court and becam

The harem of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Princess Wei Xinyan, the fourteenth princess, was walking towards the Ministry of Works with Mei'er, the head maid of the Empress.

"Princess Xiaoqin, Her Majesty the Empress has spoken."

Once you've spent twelve days in the Accounting Department and visited every office from the female historian to the clerk, the recorder, and the poet, you've completed your task.

"As long as you can keep clear accounts, you won't be fooled by the servants when you marry into the Marquis's household."

As one of the six bureaus and one department, the Shanggong Bureau served as the head of finance and production in the imperial harem.

The Shanggong Bureau has four departments: the Department of Imperial Fabrication, the Department of Imperial Treasures, the Department of Imperial Colors, and the Department of Accounting.

Among them, Wei Xinyan will be going to the Siji Division of the Shanggong Bureau, which is the financial department of the entire harem.

They were responsible for the accounting of the imperial harem's expenditures, as well as the bookkeeping and statistics of the expenses of the six departments and one bureau, including clothing, food, firewood, and charcoal for the imperial harem.

Upon hearing that she would marry into the Marquis's household, Wei Xinyan made up her mind.

She was determined to complete the task assigned by the Shanggong Bureau to satisfy the Empress.

After all, if she couldn't pass the test, no matter how well-matched she and Ren Jingxing were, she wouldn't be able to get past the Empress.

When Mei'er brought Wei Xinyan to the Shanggong Bureau.

The entire Shanggong Bureau immediately came to a halt, and all the palace maids ran to the courtyard to await Mei'er's orders.

She was the head maidservant of the Empress.

Mei'er's status was even higher than that of the princess.

To a certain extent, May's will represents the Queen's will.

The person that Mei'er personally leads must be someone the Empress values.

All the palace maids stood obediently with their heads bowed in the courtyard, waiting for Mei'er to speak.

At the same time, it carefully floated towards Wei Xinyan.

"Who is this?"

"Shh~"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mei'er stepped aside, revealing Wei Xinyan, and said:

"This is Princess Xiaoqin, arranged by Her Majesty the Empress."

Starting today, Princess Xiaoqin will begin her accounting work as a female historian in the Department of Records.

"The clerk of the accounting department, please come out here."

At this moment, an old palace maid quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Miss Mei'er."

Mei nodded and said:

"Arrange a palace maid to work with Princess Xiaoqin."

Remember, do not make things difficult for the princess.

"This servant understands!"

Although the accountant verbally agreed, he was somewhat unwilling in his heart.

The Bureau of Statistics, especially the Accounting Department, is the busiest department among the six bureaus and one department.

A typical department only has about 10 or 20 people.

The Shanggong Bureau had more than ninety female officials.

Among them, there were twenty palace maids in the Guangsi Jisi who were responsible for document recording.

Each palace maid was used as two or even three people, which shows how heavy the workload was.

Now, we need to assign someone to help Wei Xinyan learn bookkeeping.

This puts immense pressure on the Accounting Department.

After Mei'er left, the palace maids of the Shanggong Bureau immediately relaxed and began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is Princess Xiaoqin? I've never heard of her before?"

"Princess Xiaoqin, that's the Fourteenth Princess!"

"The Fourteenth Princess? I've never heard of her before..."

Many palace maids were gossiping about Wei Xinyan, which made Wei Xinyan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

It felt like I was back to when I first went to the palace school.

Everyone was talking about her cautiously.

At this moment, the accountant spoke up:

"Princess Xiaoqin, please come with me to tour the Shanggong Bureau and learn about its internal structure."

Wei Xinyan nodded and followed.

She wasn't curious about Shanggong Bureau, but she wanted to escape the situation where she was constantly being pointed at and talked about.

After Wei Xinyan left, the palace maids' discussions grew even louder.

"You don't know the Fourteenth Princess? She's that madwoman!"

"I think I know..."

Tell me quickly!

"There was a princess in the harem who was never favored, and that was her!"

She was bullied in the palace for more than a decade, and it is said that she could only eat leftovers from the laundry department.

Every day I had to go to the laundry department to wash clothes, and I was often beaten by the laundry department nannies!

Then one day, he suddenly changed his personality and almost beat the laundry maid to death!

Upon hearing that Wei Xinyan had almost killed someone, the palace maids of the Shanggong Bureau became even more curious.

Suddenly, more and more palace maids gathered around, chattering away:

"Don't all the nannies in the dressing room have powerful backers? Don't any concubines ever bother them?"

"Yes, Consort Ming's maid, Qiao'er, went to find the Fourteenth Princess."

As a result, the Fourteenth Princess pinned him to the ground and beat him, and even forced him to bark like a dog!

Upon hearing Wei Xinyan's cruelty, the palace maids of the Shanggong Bureau all showed expressions of shock and fear.

"How terrifying..."

"Forcing people to bark like dogs, is that true?"

"Of course it's true!"

"And then what happened? Having done such a ruthless thing, Consort Ming has completely lost face. Do you think she'll let the Fourteenth Princess off the hook?"

The palace maid said mysteriously:

"Later? Later, the Bureau of Ceremonial Affairs sent the stewards to the Fourteenth Princess to teach her etiquette."

It's said that the Fourteenth Princess hasn't been able to leave her house for several days!

When the palace maids heard that Wei Xinyan had been taken away by the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau for a reprimand, they all showed expressions of relief.

"I knew it! Even if it's the eldest princess, she shouldn't go this far!"

"That's right, that's right. It must have been Her Majesty the Empress who made the move. If the Fourteenth Princess is so cruel and doesn't get punished, then I reckon the Imperial Censorate will be in chaos."

Just then, the palace maid revealed another startling piece of news:

I haven't finished speaking yet!

Princess Xiaoqin was dutifully educated by the Imperial Ceremonial Bureau for ten days.

On the eleventh day, they tied Szan up!

"what?"

Why...?

"What's she after?"

The palace maids were shocked.

They couldn't understand why Wei Xinyan would do that.

The palace maids, who had initially believed that evil would be punished, suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.

And they discovered a problem.

This filial princess seems to be quite capricious!

However, along with their shock and fear, they also felt a sense of curiosity.

They really wanted to know what would happen to the princess who did this.

"And then? Then the Empress's head maid, Aunt Mei'er, directly took away the head of the Imperial Wardrobe."

The Fourteenth Princess no longer needs to study, and Consort Ming's maid, Qiao'er, has been given twenty strokes of the cane!

"Then comes the Empress's birthday."

The Fourteenth Princess was granted the title of Filial Piety Princess after only presenting two salt certificates!

The palace maids looked at each other, not daring to say anything more.

Oh no, it's really dark now!

Princess Xiaoqin acted so eccentrically, yet she was not punished!

Then these palace maids are also in danger.

"Then what do you think is the purpose of Her Majesty the Empress sending Princess Xiaoqin to the Shanggong Bureau this time?"

"Could it be something between the Ninth Princess and the Third Princess?"

"Shh! Are you out of your mind?!"

The palace maids immediately fell silent. One of them, who was hiding among them, rolled her eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

"Miss Mei said that the princess only came to work and did not say that she wanted to check the accounts."

Once the princess passes away, it will definitely be over!

"I hope so..."

"Is she going to hit someone again?"

The palace maids were whispering amongst themselves. Just then, one of them quietly approached a clerk and whispered:

"Sister Zhu, do you think the Fourteenth Princess's sudden appearance might be related to that matter of ours?"

The clerk, known as Sister Zhu, also looked worried.

Why would a princess be suddenly assigned to the Shanggong Bureau for no reason?

And this princess might even be insane!

"I don't know, but we have to find a way to get the Fourteenth Princess away!"

Even if the matter hadn't been exposed, the Fourteenth Princess hadn't come to investigate the accounts.

But if we report to the Ninth Princess like this, and then send the Fourteenth Princess away, we can still get credit!
