"Your majesty!" A coquettish voice came from the other side of the screen. The three of them looked up and saw a pink muslin dress.
"What's going on? "He's even so angry." A faint smile could be heard in her charming voice as the woman walked out barefooted.
When Long Sheng saw that small, white foot on the ground, he felt an incomparable heartache, and couldn't care less about whether there were others present or not.
He strode to Imperial Concubine Tao's side and picked her up, "The ground is so cold, next time you don't have to continue being barefoot like this. "How much heartache would I have otherwise felt?"
Long Sheng's painful look made him pursed his lips and laughed silently. A look of boredom flashed past Imperial Concubine Tao's eyes, but his body leaned towards Long Sheng.
"Your majesty!" Seeing such a ridiculous scene in front of him, First Madame was so angry that his eyes turned red. She wanted to criticize him, but Mo Qingyan opened his mouth first.
"Right now, the imperial concubine's even more charming and moving. Your Majesty sure is blessed." Mo Qingyan said with a slight smile, and his voice was not hurried nor slow.
First Madame did not expect Mo Qingyan to say this, and looked at Mo Qingyan in astonishment. Mo Qingyan lightly patted her hand, signalling for her to calm down.
"Hehehe", before Long Sheng could say anything else, Imperial Concubine Tao smiled tenderly.
"Your Majesty, this girl sure knows how to flatter horses." Imperial Concubine Tao looked at Long Sheng flirtatiously, immediately making Long Sheng dizzy.
Only then did she turn her head to look at Mo Qingyan, and at a place where no one else could see, she quietly gave Mo Qingyan an expression.
"Why did you enter the palace, girl? "How about you tell me. If I'm in a good mood, then I'll do you a small favor."
"Imperial Concubine is wise!" This humble subject's daughter entered the palace this time because she was worried about Jiang Family and the safety of her majesty. After thinking about it again and again, I finally decided to accompany my two aunts into the palace. "
Mo Qingyan said with a very serious expression, and also had a pained expression on his face.
"It looks like the imperial concubine knows as well. The imperial overseer has long predicted this as well." The winter this year will be two months late, but the degree of the cold is also twice as high as usual. "
"My grandfather, uncle and cousins are still at the frontier. It has been a poor place for a long time, and when it comes to war it depends entirely on the court's supplies. "
"If the weather turns cold, I'm afraid that my grandfather's life is in danger." Mo Qingyan sighed, and his eyes turned red.
"Hmph, sacrificing their lives for their country was also their duty. Could it be that I have used this world to raise them, and have caused them, who are raised in the same place, to be afraid of death? "
Long Sheng coldly snorted. It was impossible to take money out of the national treasury.
Besides, how cold could it be? It's not like they didn't prepare a cotton coat for them.
Mo Qingyan had already known how deceptive and incompetent Long Sheng was, so he didn't feel the slightest bit of surprise at all when he said these words.
But the First Madame and the Second Madame were different. They all more or less held some hope for this emperor.
Now that he heard it from his own mouth, he only felt a chill in his heart.
"Your Majesty, it is true that my grandfather and uncles have always been determined to die for our country on the battlefield. However, even if you have to die for the country, you should be able to accomplish it while fighting the enemy. "
"I am going to be a man of iron. I should never have fallen into a situation where I starved to death. Furthermore, there are so many wars. Which one didn't my grandfather lead? "
"Does the Emperor want my grandfather and the others to lose their lives?"
Mo Qingyan squinted at Long Sheng, his tone carried the ridicule and unyielding nature of blood.
"Your Majesty, you have to think about this as well. If you don't have the protection of Jiang Family, how long can you stay under the heavens? "
They were not only trying to persuade Ye Xiao in a righteous manner, but they were also threatening him later on.
Long Sheng naturally knew that what Mo Qingyan had said was the truth. His martial arts did indeed rely on the efforts of the Jiang Family people to exchange for it.
But precisely because of this, he was worried that the people from the Jiang Family had high achievements. The Jiang Family naturally became a thorn in his heart that he had no choice but to leave.
"Girl, you really don't know how to appreciate favors! I kindly asked you to speak, but you came to make things difficult for His Majesty. Don't tell me you don't want your head? "
Mo Qingyan's words had almost torn through Long Sheng's disguise, and his expression was even warped.
Only, he didn't have the time to ask for Mo Qingyan's forgiveness. Imperial Concubine Tao was already the first to scold Mo Qingyan.
"Hmph, in my opinion, there is no need for her head to grow on her body."
Hearing his beloved woman scold him, Long Sheng's expression eased up quite a bit. However, he still said those words in a cold tone.
"The emperor doesn't need to bicker with a little girl like her. What does a little girl like her know?"
Imperial Concubine Tao had always been a person who knew how to judge the situation. She wrapped her slender arms around Long Sheng's neck.
"The Emperor has already made plans. If it were only for a little girl like you to worry about these national affairs, it would be impossible." I'm afraid this country will not survive! "
Imperial Concubine Tao laughed as she cupped Long Sheng's hand with her own words. Furthermore, Long Sheng would definitely not ignore the soldiers at the front lines.
Long Sheng unconsciously frowned, but when he thought about how the treasury was supposed to prepare cotton clothes for them, he did not feel any resistance anymore.
"Your Majesty, this subject naturally knows that Your Majesty still has a heart that is related to the world." However, there is a famous saying on the Emperor's List that the materials to be sent to the frontlines remain the same. "
"The winter this year is not the usual cold. If it was configured like usual, I'm afraid they would not be able to survive this winter."
Mo Qingyan climbed up the pole with a very clear eye. The two of them worked together flawlessly, causing Long Sheng's face to turn green and then white.
"Your Majesty, don't get angry yet. "Chenqie actually thinks that what this little girl said is reasonable."
Seeing that Long Sheng's face had turned gloomy once again, Imperial Concubine Tao patted on Long Sheng's chest.
"In the past few days, chenqie has experienced the joys of singing and dancing with you. She also secretly wishes to stay with the Emperor for a longer period of time."
"In the past few days alone, the ministers from the previous dynasty have already begun to say that chenqie is a demoness of a calamitous nation." "Chenqie always wanted to push His Majesty away, but she really couldn't bear to."
"Your Majesty, if you'd be willing to be a bit more generous to the army. After they win the battle, when they return in triumph, these rumors will naturally crumble. "
"Then chenqie will be able to grow up and stay by His Majesty's side." As Imperial Concubine Tao said this, he wiped the tears that did not exist from the corner of his eyes.
"Don't cry, I will do as you say." Long Sheng hugged her with heartache, looking like he had fainted.
