Lanting’s ankle hurt from jumping. The same posture became boring, and it was a luxury for her to stop.

-The music is too slow, and the dance isn’t good either. Men, call our band up.” Su Qing saw Lanting’s movements getting slower and slower. She ordered the guards with a severe expression.

Tang also had a band, and Su Qing had even written a few songs for them. She had initially planned to organize a large-scale performance during the new year to celebrate with the people.

Today, she would show Japan what music was.

Lanting’s expression changed when she heard that she had to speed up. This kind of dance was about the beauty of a woman. Would it look good if she sped up?

She wanted to stop and rest but was stopped by Xiao Zeyu,

“You are not allowed to stop until the Empress smiles.” Lanting was so frightened that she trembled. She had no choice but to switch between her left hand and right hand and then switch between her right hand and left hand to cover half of her face.

The ministers in the Throne Room had gotten used to Lanting’s big white face and looked at her boring posture with disgust. She was not even as good as the girls in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. How could she be worthy of showing off in front of the Emperor?

Soon, the Tang Empire’s band arrived. They played the flute and dulcimer, all played by beautiful women. Each of them was more beautiful than Lanting.

“Today is a good day.”

Su Qing instructed the band. This was a cheerful song with a fast tempo, suitable for Lanting to break her legs.

So the band began to play. The ministers finally did not have to listen to the sorrowful music anymore. They felt that the dark clouds had dispersed, and the sun shone.

The fast-paced music flustered lanting. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Her makeup was smudged, and her thick layer of powder was riddled with holes. She looked even uglier now. Xiao Zeyu looked at her with disgust. He quickly turned to look at Su Qing. Qing ‘er was prettier and more pleasing to the eyes!

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lanting can’t dance anymore.” Lanting was so tired that she fell to the ground, panting as she begged Xiao Zeyu for mercy.

“Do you want to defy the imperial edict?”

“Shuisheng, this kind of corn must be promoted throughout the country. It can solve the food problem of the common people.”

Su Qing said to Xiao Zeyu as she held the bag of rice seeds. This was the prize she had asked for from the system after she leveled up. Right now, she didn’t care if she could level up to the maximum level of her wargod ability. Those were just worldly possessions. Her current ability was enough.

It was better to exchange for something more affordable, such as drought-resistant and high-yield corn seeds, as well as the seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

After three years of drought, the first thing to do to stabilize development was to feed the people.

The commoners did not want much. They did not need to eat refined grains of white flour and rice daily. It was enough as long as they could fill their stomachs.

“Alright, I’ll order someone to distribute the seeds.

Xiao Zeyu heard Su Qing calling him Shuisheng again, and his eyes were as gentle as water. Forget about Su Qing’s consideration for him; even if she wanted the moon in the sky, he wouldn’t hesitate to pluck it.

After a few twists and turns, the couple’s relationship became even stronger. Now that the entire court knew of the Emperor’s determination, no one would dare to mention Xiao Zeyu taking a concubine for at least a few years. Because neither of the two people mentioned, this matter had a good ending. Princess Lanting was not worth mentioning in front of the Empress. Who would dare to send their daughter into the palace if they chopped off her feet. Aren’t you afraid of ending up like Lanting?

“Emperor, since you chopped off the princess’ leg, we have to destroy Japan quickly.”

Su Qing stopped after she was done with the weeding and looked at Xiao Zeyu. Since they had already declared war, they couldn’t give Japan time to prepare. “En, Zhen has already ordered people to prepare rations. Once the rations are ready, we will send troops to attack the East Ocean Continent.” Xiao Zeyu nodded. He had already decided to start with the East Ocean Continent as a warning to the rest so that the smaller countries that had occupied the Great Tang’s cities would be terrified and take the initiative to return their cities.

However, they had initially decided to attack the Japanese a month later. The main reason was that the Japanese were on the other side of the sea, and they needed ships to attack them.

The navy on his side was still weak. The Japanese navy was very strong, and this was the biggest problem.

“I’ll build a warship.”

Of course, Su Qing knew this. She wanted to try building her warship. Without a ship, it would be difficult to attack the Japanese.

But Su Qing wasn’t confident that she could make it. After all, she wasn’t a professional.

“If only Qin Tie didn’t betray us. I heard that he’s good at building ships.”

“I think we’ve wronged him!”
