She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

The Emperor couldn’t help but laugh. Had Jiang Yifan, who had done something wrong, become a commendable and responsible official just because of Jinrong’s explanation?

The Emperor tapped Jinrong in rebuke, "To ensure the delivery of cow’s milk, you go to such lengths to find excuses for Jiang Yifan and Ye Xinyan. I only appointed you as Assistant Manager of the Ministry of Personnel, but look at you these past two days, so lethargic, as if frostbitten. Even if the cheese business makes money, is it more important than the mountains and rivers of the Great Xia Dynasty? It’s as if you can’t prioritize!"

Upon hearing the Emperor’s words, Jinrong knew he had passed this hurdle. He stood up straight and defended himself, "Your son hasn’t neglected his official duties, Imperial Father may ask the four Chancellors of the Cabinet and the high officials of the Ministry of Personnel, I attend roll call every day."

The Emperor said irritably, "You’re just good at exploiting such loopholes, aren’t you? Roll call? If mere attendance could get things done, why would I need so many officials? All right, all right, get up, you’re becoming more and more improper."

Jinrong stole another glance at the Emperor before he slowly climbed up from the ground, the effort making the Emperor quite angry, "Is this dawdling for me to see? You think I’ve wronged you, is that it?"

Jinrong bowed and said, "Imperial Father is wise, indeed your son has the court’s interests at heart and does not wish for you to mistakenly blame an official who is dedicated to serving the court."

The Emperor almost spat on him, "You call this having the court’s interests at heart? If there wasn’t such profitable cheese business, would you be this committed? As a prince, to be so passionate about profit and loss—it truly tarnishes the royal family’s reputation."

Jinrong disagreed, "To be self-reliant, to work for one’s own livelihood, to secure a family fortune—what a glorious thing. How has it become disgraceful in Imperial Father’s eyes? If everyone in The Celestial Empire could be like your son, the nation would be wealthy and the people content—it wouldn’t just be empty talk."
