Long Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
"If that's the case, Minister Qian, what you said earlier … the national treasury is empty?"
Minister Qian showed a difficult smile, "I was confused for a moment."
Long Xiao nodded and said directly, "In that case, I will give Minister Qian full responsibility for the construction of the palace."
Minister Qian raised his head in surprise. He did not understand why the Emperor not only did not punish him, but also gave him such an important matter.
Long Xiao saw his expression and frowned slightly, "Minister Qian, do you think there is a problem?"
Minister Qian quickly bowed, "I have no problem."
When Minister Qian returned to the queue, Long Xiao looked around, "Do you have anything else to report?"
The ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Listening to His Majesty's words, they suddenly realized that as long as His Majesty was diligent and loved the people, he could let the people live a good life.
If he wanted to spend money, he could spend it!
Sky Dragon was so powerful, so it was not a problem for the Emperor to show off a little.
Therefore, when Long Xiao once again ordered to find a famous botanist to plant a ten-mile peach blossom forest in the palace, no minister stood up to object.
The whole world belonged to His Majesty. It was just planting some fresh peach blossoms. It was much better than some strange and cruel hobby.
Long Xiao was very satisfied with this.
Although he would not change his mind even if these ministers objected, it was going so smoothly. After all, it was not that annoying, right?
When autumn was about to pass and the palace in Sky Dragon's palace had begun to take shape, the ministers of Sky Dragon were once again shocked by their Emperor.
Their Emperor was going to propose to Her Highness the Eldest Princess of Qing!
Logically speaking, the Qing Dynasty was a big country that could be compared to Sky Dragon. The famous Eldest Princess of Qing was said to be the sister of the Emperor of Qing. Her status was also very noble.
In that case, she was a good match for His Majesty.
But the key was that His Majesty was going to propose in person!
How could there be such a thing?
The marriage between big countries had always been to send envoys to propose.
No matter how noble the Eldest Princess was, it was enough to send a prince.
A gentleman did not sit in a dangerous situation. How could the Emperor of a country personally take risks?
But His Majesty the Emperor of Sky Dragon was never someone who would listen to others' advice.
No matter how much the ministers tried to persuade him, he even set the schedule for the meeting.
Before he left, he had specially written a letter and had it sent urgently to the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom.
Emperor Long Qing, who was no longer young, was speechless for a long time when he saw the letter of credence from the new Emperor of Tian Long.
How far was Tianlong from the Qing Kingdom?
If one were to ride a fast horse, it would take at least half a month.
If they were to travel in a convoy, it would take at least a month.
How could he bear to marry his sister off to such a faraway place?
If Bao Chan went to Sky Dragon, she might not be able to come back for the rest of her life.
However, the Emperor of Sky Dragon had personally come to propose. With such sincerity, Emperor Long Qing was afraid that refusing would cause the two countries to become enemies.
After thinking for a while, he went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
"What?" The well-preserved Empress Dowager sat beside the Emperor and looked like someone of the same age.
"I don't agree!" The Empress Dowager refused without thinking, "I only have one daughter, Baochan. Your Majesty, can you bear to separate us?"
The Emperor had always been filial. When he heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said that he did not dare.
