Yu Xiaoyun patiently arranged for the palace maids to take Yu Jinshu back to the palace where she used to live.
Inside the palace, everything has changed.
Yu Jinshu felt a little melancholy.
I have been traveling all the way and I am pregnant. Although I have pregnancy pills, I am still a little tired.
After a good night's sleep, Yu Xiaoyun didn't dare to disturb him.
The next day, at dawn, a palace maid came to invite Yu Jinshu to attend the morning court.
Yu Jinshu thought to himself: If Yu Xiaoyun were a boss, he would definitely be a selfish boss who exploited his employees to the extreme.
Yu Jinshu changed her clothes and washed up slowly. The dress that the palace servants brought her was the style of an unmarried girl, and her hair was combed into a bun like an unmarried girl, with pearls and emeralds around it, which was very gorgeous.
"In a place as solemn and dignified as the imperial court, it is inappropriate for me to wear such delicate pink. Bring me a new set of clothes, something with a cuff and tights, and take off all the hairpins in my hair."
The palace servants did not dare to delay and hurried to make fresh preparations.
By the time Yu Jinshu walked into the court in a clean and neat blue tights, Yu Xiaoyun and the ministers had been waiting for a full hour.
When they saw Yu Jinshu coming in, they quickly put away their impatience and bowed respectfully to her: "Princess Rouhua."
Yu Xiaoyun also put on a smile: "Royal sister, you look so heroic in this outfit!"
Not to mention that his imperial sister is really beautiful, the concubines he took in were all picked from thousands of people, but none of them were as beautiful as his imperial sister, Princess Rouhua. Even without a single pearl or hairpin and wearing plain clothes, she was still extremely beautiful.
Yu Jinshu bowed to Yu Xiaoyun and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Yu Xiaoyun smiled brightly and asked Yu Jinshu to stand in the first seat on the left.
In this era, the left is respected, which shows how much Yu Xiaoyun values his imperial sister who can summon the Snake King.
"Imperial sister, I have heard that you summoned the Snake King to annihilate 60,000 people from the Northern Moon Kingdom. You also had the Snake King kill the Northern Moon Kingdom's former emperor, Feng Yishan. This shows that your special abilities can help me unify the world. I intend to arrange for you to take over military affairs today. Whether to attack the Northern Moon Kingdom first, or test your hand on the small tribes in the southern border, it is up to you."
The ministers all looked at Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu smiled faintly and looked at Yu Xiaoyun: "Your Majesty, I wonder how much is left in the national treasury now?"
Yu Xiaoyun's face froze when he heard this: "National treasury?"
A minister spoke up, "Princess, several months ago, the Beiyue Kingdom invaded the Nangan Imperial Court and looted the treasury. Now the treasury is empty."
Yu Xiaoyun took over the conversation and said, "It is precisely because the treasury is empty that I want you, my imperial sister, to help me unify the world. Once we unify the world, our treasury will soon be full."
Yu Jinshu laughed again: "How to fill it? But to burn, kill and plunder in the invaded country, just like Luo Chenjiu did back then?"
Yu Xiaoyun said fiercely, "Beiyue Country burned, killed, and looted our Nangan Country. If we invade Beiyue Country, we will naturally retaliate."
Yu Jinshu's eyes darkened. "But the general who led the burning, killing, and looting, Luo Chenjiu, is already dead. This is retribution."
Yu Xiaoyun was stunned. "Retribution." Then he burst into laughter. "Luo Chenjiu burned, killed, and looted my Nangan Kingdom. He was killed by the imperial sister. Of course, it was retribution."
Yu Jinshu: "But if I go to another country and burn, kill, and plunder, I will also be punished."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell silent.
After a long pause, Yu Jinshu finally spoke: "My Nangan Kingdom has been impoverished and weak for many years, and the people have been displaced. Now, the emperor should focus on how to make the people live a good life, not start a war."
Yu Xiaoyun's face darkened. "Imperial sister, I unified the world to make it a world without war. You were able to kill 60,000 people with the help of the Snake King. I heard that you also took Ningcheng of Beiyue Kingdom with only 5,000 soldiers. I believe that if I let you attack the enemy country, it would not cost much."
If it doesn't require any soldiers and horses, then there's no need to spend any money.
Now the treasury of the Nangan Kingdom is empty and it is indeed unable to come up with any money.
Yu Jinshu said, "But my snake king won't listen to me. Perhaps it has consumed too much of its essence and blood before, and is now useless."
"What?" Yu Xiaoyun frowned and looked at Yu Jinshu with disbelief.
Lu Jinan was also in the court.
Yu Xiaoyun glanced at Lu Jinan and asked, "Did you encounter any robbers on the road?"
Lu Jin'an stepped forward and bowed, saying, "It's true. Fortunately, we met a group of good people who drove away the robbers."
That group of robbers was real, and it was Feng Yu and his group who drove them away.
Yu Jinshu would not easily summon the Snake King unless the time was right.
The Snake King is both a blessing and a curse to her.
Yu Xiaoyun's expression became furious. He glared at Yu Jinshu and said, "Royal sister, you must be saying this because you don't want to help me, right? You were able to summon the Snake King in Beiyue Country, but why can't you summon him after returning to Nangan Country?"
Yu Jinshu said, "I don't know. I just said that the snake king's blood and energy may have been exhausted. It's no longer able to help me."
"You are a liar." Yu Xiaoyun yelled. He had gone to great lengths to get Yu Jinshu back from Beiyue Kingdom, hoping that Yu Jinshu could help him unify the world. Yu Jinshu actually said that the Snake King could no longer be used by her. How could he accept this?
A minister stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, I agree with what the princess said. Our Nangan Kingdom has been weak and impoverished for a long time, and the people have been displaced. The only solution is to give the people a rest and let them live and work in peace, rather than starting a war."
Another minister stepped forward and echoed: "Your Majesty, the treasury is now empty. If we rashly launch a war, the consequences of backlash will be disastrous."
