Chapter 209 Big Tooth Hurts Again
Qin Chuchu turned her head and didn't know when Liu Qing came over. She was standing between her and the man, pointing at the fireworks in the sky with affectionate eyes and smiling happily.
If you don’t know, you might think they are really a young couple.
I looked at the people around me again, and they were all craning their necks, looking at the fireworks happily.
Suddenly I felt out of tune with this world, as if I was redundant.
Not wanting to watch the fireworks anymore, she walked out of the crowd and headed towards the troglodyte courtyard.
“…………”Han Muchen frowned.
I originally wanted to make this stupid woman happy, but she seems to be getting more and more unhappy.
Seeing the prince's eyes following the dead woman, Liu Qing's eyes were filled with jealousy and she directly blocked his sight.
"Your Majesty, look at that..."
She pointed at the fireworks in the sky, and just as she was halfway through her words, the man in front of her disappeared.
“Your Highness! Your Highness…”
Seeing the prince chasing that dead woman, Liu Qing almost bit her lip.
Qin Chuchu washed up and went to sleep as soon as she returned to the tent. On the other hand, in a military camp deep in the mountains, it was very lively.
All the soldiers had gone home on family leave, leaving behind only twenty or so people led by Feng Yi. At this moment, they were gathered around a big pot of steaming hot pot, eating with their mouths full of oil.
The table was filled with various snacks and treats, all sent by Qin Chuchu.
"Boss, the princess is so kind to you that she even mailed you such delicious food!"
A young man of fifteen or sixteen praised the dish while eating beef slices.
I used to laugh at him when I saw him writing a letter to the princess.
He thought it was impossible for the princess to mail anything to him, but he didn't expect that not only did she actually send it, but she also sent so much.
It is impossible not to admire him. It seems that the boss has a high status in front of the princess.
Feng Yi felt very comfortable being flattered by this kid and smiled complacently.
"That's right. The princess has been very kind to me. When we were in exile, she gave me most of the delicious food she had."
After saying that, he glanced sarcastically at the deputy general Zhao opposite him, his mouth almost turned up to his ears.
"Unlike someone who can only watch and can't eat anything."
That’s right, Deputy General Zhao was the head of the Zhao Yatou team who had followed the exile team and was secretly protecting Han Muchen’s safety.
As soon as his exile ended, he found an excuse to resign, but in fact he returned to the army.
“…………”Deputy General Zhao.
He glared at Feng Yi fiercely. Look how proud he was of himself. If he hadn't said a few words to him, he would have been furious.
"I can't eat, so how much better can you be than me now! Feng Er and the others have a life of luxury every day!"
The princess sent him some things, and he was so proud of himself that his tail was about to rise to the sky.
“…………” Feng Yi gritted his teeth.
He also glared at Deputy General Zhao fiercely. It was New Year's Day, and he was bringing up all sorts of issues that hurt him so much.
It was already annoying to arrange for him to guard here, and now hearing what this guy said, I felt even more upset.
When I thought about how Feng Er and the others had found excuses to return to their master, I didn’t know how long I would have to stay here before I could go back.
Seeing that this guy had become obedient, Deputy General Zhao curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, hoping that he could not show off any more.
But tonight, thanks to this guy, the hot pot tastes really good.
Twenty or so young men were toasting each other and having a great time eating.
On the other hand, at the state banquet in the imperial palace in the capital, the atmosphere was also quite lively.
Those ministers with higher official positions came with their families, and the unmarried girls were all dressed up beautifully.
They all wanted to show their faces in front of everyone, maybe be noticed by a prince, and then the whole family would benefit from their fame in the future.
However, the emperor's seat has been empty all the time. At this moment, he is sitting in the imperial study with a worried look on his face, listening to the reports of several important ministers with his brows furrowed.
"Are there any casualty statistics?"
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qin standing beside him. After two consecutive years of drought, the people must have been suffering terribly.
Now the national treasury is empty, there is no money to distribute for earthquake relief, and coupled with this cold winter, I am afraid the death toll will not be small.
Prime Minister Qin glanced at Marquis Yongning beside him, then stepped forward and came before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, statistics show that the number of casualties this year is half a percent less."
"How is this possible?" The emperor looked at Prime Minister Qin in confusion.
Since the severe drought, the death toll has been increasing every year. This year there is also a cold disaster. It is good enough that the death toll has not increased. How could it be possible that it is half less?
"Uh..." Prime Minister Qin looked at Marquis Yongning with a constipated look on his face.
Because there was no casualty data from Qingzhou Prefecture this year, the death toll was reduced by half, but he didn't want to say it because he didn't want to give Han Muchen a chance to turn things around.
Seeing what he was thinking, Marquis Yongning stepped forward and was about to interrupt him when the cheerful old General Cheng laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha... Your Majesty, this matter is entirely thanks to the Sixth Prince."
While speaking, he glanced at Prime Minister Qin and Marquis Yongning with contempt. How could he not see through their cunning intentions?
He doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he doesn't like you, he won't care who you are.
After hearing what he said, the emperor's eyes lit up obviously.
"Oh? What do you mean, General Cheng?"
General Cheng Wei also took two steps forward, came before the emperor and bowed.
"Your Majesty, a few months ago, all the people in Qingzhou Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Prince, received a subsidy of two taels of silver each. Not only that, the Sixth Prince also exempted them from taxes for three years.
The people there had already stocked up on food and clothing, so no one froze to death, and no one starved to death. This story has spread throughout our Great Yu Kingdom."
After saying this, General Cheng raised his head proudly, as if the Sixth Prince was his son.
When I first heard about this, I gave that guy a thumbs up in my heart.
I thought he would be completely discouraged after suffering such a great disaster, but I didn't expect that he would not be disappointed.
"Really?" The emperor stood up from the dragon throne excitedly.
He looked at General Cheng excitedly. He had demoted his son to a different fiefdom in order to protect him, and he really didn't disappoint him.
But he soon calmed down and looked at General Cheng with doubt.
"Where did Chen'er get the money?"
Before he was sentenced to exile, the treasury in his mansion had already been confiscated. How could he have so much silver to give to the people!
Hearing the emperor's question, General Cheng looked at Prime Minister Qin with pride again.
"Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Prime Minister Qin. He raised a good daughter, and the money given to the people was all paid by the Sixth Princess."
After saying this, he stroked his beard again, with an unconcealable look of pride on his face.
People say that if the roots are not red, the seedlings cannot be straight. Now it seems that this is not entirely true. Under the crooked tree of Prime Minister Qin, a straight pine tree has actually grown.
I have to say, the daughter he raised is pretty good.
After hearing what he said, Prime Minister Qin's old face turned red with shame, and his big tooth began to ache again.
Whenever he thought of his nine hundred million taels, his head started buzzing.
He became even more certain that his vault was stolen by that damn girl.
