Chapter 130 You Just Wait

The ship's cabin was naturally warm, with a small but exquisite bronze stove that provided enough warmth to the cramped space. Qin Mo waited on the deck for Wang Yushi to change her clothes before entering the cabin. As for his wet clothes, he naturally used his spiritual energy to dry them, as he couldn't change in the cabin to avoid suspicion.

Dinner was still cooked by Qin Mo. Braised meat was stewing on the stove, and the aroma of strong liquor wafted through the air. Qin Mo glanced at Wang Yushi, who was drinking and eating meat beside her, and couldn't help but think to herself with a smile, "Another dream has come true—the two of us sailing away together."

After having eaten and drunk her fill, Wang Yushi sipped tea and chatted with Qin Mo about everyday things.

Wang Yushi gave Qin Mo a rare tea ceremony performance, leaving Qin Mo dumbfounded. It was completely different from Kaihime's tea ceremony. Wang Yushi's tea brewing was like chopping people with an axe. The heat control was precise, the technique was rough, and she only cared about the result and not the process. The tea she brewed was surprisingly fragrant and mellow.

"Your dauphin is indeed very large. Even such fast ships would need to count to circle it once. If I hadn't come to see for myself, I would have thought you had suffered a lot in dauphin!"

Wang Yushi changed the subject, intentionally or unintentionally bringing up Qin Mo's fiefdom. Everyone thought Dayuan was a barren land, but what she had seen and heard along the way showed that although Dayuan could not compare with the prosperous lands of Daxia, Qin Mo's several livelihood policies had already shown their power. Large amounts of farmland had been reclaimed, and the workshops in the city were making a fortune every day.

“A year ago, my country was indeed poor, as Your Majesty has heard. Now I have bought a large number of foreign servants to work the land and earn a living. Compared with the mainland, it is nothing.”

"Some people have already seen the prospect of wealth and prosperity for high-ranking officials, and they may be tempted. If you don't have the will to be independent, the imperial family can make decisions for you." When Wang Yushi heard Qin Mo change her address to "Your Majesty," she naturally knew that Qin Mo harbored resentment, but it was better to be clear about some things.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. My son, Qin Mo, Qin Lan, hereby swears that he will never betray the Great Xia for the rest of his life!"

"Just call me Danfeng!"

"Oh! Danfeng! Shall we continue our journey around Dayuan to admire the scenery tomorrow?"

"Of course, sailing is quite fun, and being a captain is very interesting. I wonder if His Highness Prince Heng would like to continue being a sailor?"

"What's the use of not wanting to do it? I can't beat you anyway, so it doesn't matter!"

Qin Mo said nonchalantly, but in her heart she thought, "You just wait, one day... Hmph!"
