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 gratitude 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……
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 .
