Chapter 816

The old man nodded and his wrinkled face was filled with a smile, "We have to thank the current emperor, allowing our citizens to live better and better lives. However, we still have to thank a person this year. In order for our citizens to live better lives, she would rather live a bitter life."

"I wonder who old uncle is talking about?" Mo Chuan asked in a curious voice.

"Of course it's our Ding Yuan Princess. No, no, no, she is no longer the Princess Consort, we should call her the Crown Princess. In order for us to be exempted from a year's tribute, she abandoned her home and married to East Qin, sacrificing a lifetime of happiness. She truly is a good girl! If I can see her, I will definitely kowtow to her to thank her for her kindness! "

The old man rambled on and on, his two turbid eyes glowing.

Mo Chuan couldn't help looking at Chen Ning. He had a smile on his face and his expression was filled with an indescribable pride.

Hearing other people praise his beloved girl, he felt proud!

Especially seeing the citizens thank her for her sacrifice, it made his heart sigh with emotion.

When she first suggested this to him, he rejected her without even thinking because he couldn't bear for her to take the risk. But now it seemed like he understood her good intentions.

She was not just doing this for their future, she was thinking even further than him. She knew that a year's worth of tribute would bring great benefits to West Chu and the citizens would be able to live a stable life.

As for next year …..

He already had a better plan for next year, what he needed now was time.

Ever since he ascended to the throne, he had been burdened by the huge amount of silver tribute every year. He could not bear to raise the taxes, nor could he bear to increase the burden on the people. Every time, he had to rack his brains and rack his brains to collect this amount of silver. He had long been mentally and physically exhausted.

Now that she had given West Chu a full year of breathing space, with this year of preparation, he could rest and then show off his skills. He would not let his country be in a situation where they could only take a beating and not fight back!

Mo Chuan stood in an endless field and looked over it. The golden sunlight shined down on the ground and his chest was filled with lofty aspirations.

His body was bathed in the golden sunlight, standing tall like a pine tree. His brows were filled with a bright glow.

Chen Ning saw his expression and could already guess his thoughts. She couldn't help revealing a faint smile. He was proud of her, so how could she not be proud of him!

Not only did he have her in his heart, he also had the citizens.

Only with a country would there be a home!

She stood next to him, holding his hand as she looked at the flourishing mountains and rivers in front of her.

"Little brother, little girl, you've been tired all day, so you must be hungry, right? If you don't mind, how about you come to my house for a simple meal? "

The old man sent them an invitation.

Mo Chuan found that his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He looked up at the sky and couldn't help being shocked.

It turned out that it took him more than half a day to fetch water and water the vegetables. When they arrived, it was still dawn and the sun had just risen, but now it was already dusk.

He looked at Chen Ning with a face filled with guilt. He was busy and she had to wait for him on the side, starving him for half a day.
