Chapter 816: 816
The old man nodded . His wrinkled face was filled with a smile, “We really need to thank the current emperor, allowing us citizens live better and better lives . However, we need to thank one person this year . To allow us citizens to live a good live, she would rather send herself away to live bitter days . ”
“Who is this old uncle talking about?” Mo Chuan said in a curious voice .
“Of course it"s our Ding Yuan Princess . No, no, no, she isn"t the Princess Consort anymore and she should be called the Crown Princess . In order to spare us a year of tributes, she left her home to marry into East Qin, sacrificing her lifetime of happiness . She really is a good girl! If I could see her, I must thank her for her great grace!”
The old man kept rambling on as his two turbid eyes began to glow .
Mo Chuan couldn"t help looking at Chen Ning . He had a smile on his face and his expression revealed an indescribable pride .
Hearing other people praise his beloved girl, he also felt honoured!
Especially when he saw the citizens feeling grat.i.tude towards her, it made his heart even more emotional .
When she made this suggestion to him back then, he rejected her without even thinking because he didn"t want her to be in danger . But now he could see that her good intentions .
She didn"t do this just for their future, she had thought even further than he did . She knew how many benefits a year of no tributes would have on West Chu and the citizens would be able to live a safe life .
As for next year……
As for next year……
He already had an even better idea for next year, he just needed time right now .
Since he took the throne, he was overwhelmed by the yearly tribute . He couldn"t raise taxes and he couldn"t bear to increase the burden of the citizens . He always racked his brain for a way to raise the silvers, long being exhausted .
Now she had won a year of rest for the West Chu Country . With this year of preparation, he could show his strength . He definitely wouldn"t allow his country be beaten into a state of being unable to fight back!
Mo Chuan stood in the endless fields and looked into the distance . The golden sun shined down on the earth and his chest was filled with enthusiasm .
He was also bathed in the golden sunlight, standing as tall as a pine tree . There was a faint brilliance between his brows .

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 why couldn"t she be proud of him!
There wasn"t just her in his heart, there was also the vast number of citizens .
There is only a home with a country!
She stood beside him and held his hand as they looked over the thriving mountain and rivers .
“Little brother, little miss, you"ve worked all day, you must be hungry, right? If you don"t mind, how about coming to my house for a light meal?”
The old man gave them an invitation .
“Little brother, little miss, you"ve worked all day, you must be hungry, right? If you don"t mind, how about coming to my house for a light meal?”
The old man gave them an invitation .
Mo Chuan realized that he was indeed hungry . Looking up at the sky, he couldn"t help feeling surprised .
It actually took him most of the day to water the vegetables . They had arrived when it was still dawn, but now the sun was setting over the western mountains .
He looked at Chen Ning with a look of guilt . He had worked all day and she had been waiting for him the entire day, starving herself for the entire day .
Chen Ning said with a smile, “You"ve never done farm work before, so it"s natural to be a bit slow . To be able to water the entire fields before the sun set is already quite incredible . ”The old man nodded .
