The emperor burst out laughing.
"Very well. I'll summon the officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review right away and have them draw up an initial draft according to your ideas. Once it has been reviewed, I'll bring it before the court for the first ballot. What do you think?"
Xia Wanwan nodded.
Her eyes sparkled.
Wow, how did I never notice how handsome Uncle Emperor was before?
The emperor raised his chin higher and higher, even shooting Xia Siheng a smug look.
Xia Siheng curved his lips helplessly and shook his head.
When would his imperial elder brother finally stop being so obsessed with looking handsome and competing with him? What a headache.
Soon, the civil officials responsible for recording proceedings and drafting documents at the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review arrived at the Imperial Study.
Xia Wanwan was only two, and her speech was still a little halting.
Fortunately, Xia Siheng had understood many of her ideas through her inner voice.
The officials exclaimed repeatedly, "Princess Ximing is only two, yet she already has the people's welfare at heart. Her future will surely be boundless."
The emperor was right. Princess Ximing was the bright future of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Two double-hours passed as they recorded everything.
To make sure it was all correct, Xia Wanwan planted both hands against her little belly and had the officials read their draft aloud to her.
She nodded her little head. "I have no objections."
The officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Wanwan's stomach growled.
She lowered her head. "But..."
The officials' hearts leaped into their throats. "Could there be some oversight?"
Xia Wanwan shook her head. "But... I'm hungry..."
"I'm so pitiful... I haven't eaten anything for four whole hours."
