Madam Mo hadn't had a chance to spend quality time with Wan Ge before, but now that she had the opportunity, she was truly willing to stay. She wanted to see her daughter give birth safely, because only then could she put her mind at ease.
Only after seeing her daughter safe and sound could she return to the frontier with peace of mind. Therefore, when Nan Su made this request, Madam Mo agreed without hesitation.
General Mo agreed. He also felt guilty towards his daughter, and now was the time when she needed them most. It was a pity that he couldn't stay with her for long, but it was good that his wife was there to accompany her.
Looking at Nan Su in front of her, Wan Ge said softly, "I still have some money in my private treasury. I want Father to take it with him so that the soldiers on the frontier can have a better life."
Although the treatment of the soldiers was much better after Nan Su became emperor, Wange always felt that no amount of money was enough for the heroes who defended the country.
Nan Su understood her feelings and replied softly, "Why would you need to use your private treasury for such a thing? I had already discussed it with the Ministry of Revenue beforehand, and we will allocate some more funds to the soldiers on the frontier this year."
He had originally planned to have General Mo take him back to the frontier, since with him in Nansu, there was no need to worry about corruption or anything like that.
In fact, he had known for a long time that although he had some opinions about the family before because he didn't know about Wan Ge's relationship with them, he still highly respected their abilities and behavior.
The Mo family has always been known for its diligence and thrift. Although General Mo and his family hold high positions, they have never been people who spend money like water.
General Mo was wearing the same clothes he had worn three years ago. Although the material was very good and presentable, they were already quite old.
Moreover, given his status and position, the material of his clothes could only be described as ordinary.
The same goes for Madam Mo; the tonics and other supplements she brought for Wan Ge were actually bought using her dowry from her family.
Aside from basic expenses, she and General Mo used almost all of their money to subsidize other soldiers.
Especially for soldiers who died on the battlefield, they would give more money to the soldiers' families.
For this reason, Nansu actually allocates more funds to them every year, but as Wan Ge thought, it is far from enough.
To be honest, they are now militarily strong and living very well, and are fully capable of expanding their territory. However, peace is hard-won, and Nansu would prefer that the people live a peaceful life.
However, we cannot allow enemy countries to harbor thoughts of attacking them, hence the significant military expenditure. It is precisely for this reason that peace can be more stable.
…
When Wan Ge heard him say that, she didn't continue. Since he had already made up his mind, he should keep his private savings in case of natural disasters or man-made calamities in the future. He would definitely need money then, so it was good to be prepared.
At this moment, the nanny brought over a vase filled with plum blossoms and placed it on the table beside her: "The plum blossoms His Majesty picked are so beautiful. He must have carefully selected them for the Empress. His Majesty truly dotes on the Empress."
They could clearly feel how much Nan Su loved their mistress, and they were genuinely happy for her.
The old nanny came from the Marquis's mansion and took care of Wan Ge when she was little. She also had a deep affection for Wan Ge.
At first, she was a little worried, until she saw Nan Su wholeheartedly treat Wan Ge well.
Everyone says that once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, but seeing His Majesty's attitude towards the young lady, it doesn't seem so hard to accept.
However, men are fickle, and whether His Majesty will continue to treat Miss well is something even the old woman can't say for sure; she can only wait and see. She can only hope that His Majesty truly loves Miss.
However, the old woman's attitude changed later because Nan Su was really too good to Wan Ge, giving her too many things. Moreover, he never mentioned the last time. In His Majesty's eyes, how could this be called a reward? It was just something he gave to his lover from the bottom of his heart.
That wasn't like last time; it was his heartfelt wish, something he wanted to give to Wan Ge.
Therefore, the eunuchs never mentioned the issue of rewards in front of them; they always said that it was His Majesty's gift to the Empress.
The other party always prioritizes Wan Ge's thoughts in matters big and small, so the nanny becomes more and more certain about the relationship between the two of them.
Sometimes she would wonder, His Majesty loves the Empress so much, surely he won't change his mind? It's hard to imagine what would happen if their relationship really changed, given how good their feelings are and how much the Empress has sacrificed for His Majesty.
…
Also in the palace, Mu Xiyan, who had just fallen asleep despite the pain, heard a noise at the door.
Then the head maid walked in with a mocking tone. Looking at the person lying on the bed, she immediately said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this our Miss Mu who wanted to climb the social ladder? How come she's been beaten twenty times?"
Mu Xiyan clenched her fists tightly: "System! Didn't you say that everyone would like me after using your system's products? What's wrong with this old woman?"
The system touched its nose awkwardly and replied, "Well... host... some people won't be affected, but they're all exceptions!"
Mu Xiyan was seething with hatred. What did she mean by "these are all isolated cases"? Hadn't she suffered enough? Look at all the trouble she'd been through lately; it was all the system's fault.
"Aren't you going to do anything about it? If you hadn't screwed me over, would I be in this state now?"
The system remained silent for a while before finally speaking: "Host, don't worry, we will definitely help you."
…
…
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Nan Su finished his official business very early, and it was not until evening, when it was already dark, that he left the palace with Wan Ge.
