Lanting’s ankle hurt from jumping. The same posture became boring, and it was a luxury for her to stop.
-The music is too slow, and the dance isn’t good either. Men, call our band up.” Su Qing saw Lanting’s movements getting slower and slower. She ordered the guards with a severe expression.
Tang also had a band, and Su Qing had even written a few songs for them. She had initially planned to organize a large-scale performance during the new year to celebrate with the people.
Today, she would show Japan what music was.
Lanting’s expression changed when she heard that she had to speed up. This kind of dance was about the beauty of a woman. Would it look good if she sped up?
She wanted to stop and rest but was stopped by Xiao Zeyu,
“You are not allowed to stop until the Empress smiles.” Lanting was so frightened that she trembled. She had no choice but to switch between her left hand and right hand and then switch between her right hand and left hand to cover half of her face.
The ministers in the Throne Room had gotten used to Lanting’s big white face and looked at her boring posture with disgust. She was not even as good as the girls in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. How could she be worthy of showing off in front of the Emperor?
Soon, the Tang Empire’s band arrived. They played the flute and dulcimer, all played by beautiful women. Each of them was more beautiful than Lanting.
“Today is a good day.”
Su Qing instructed the band. This was a cheerful song with a fast tempo, suitable for Lanting to break her legs.
So the band began to play. The ministers finally did not have to listen to the sorrowful music anymore. They felt that the dark clouds had dispersed, and the sun shone.
The fast-paced music flustered lanting. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Her makeup was smudged, and her thick layer of powder was riddled with holes. She looked even uglier now. Xiao Zeyu looked at her with disgust. He quickly turned to look at Su Qing. Qing ‘er was prettier and more pleasing to the eyes!
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lanting can’t dance anymore.” Lanting was so tired that she fell to the ground, panting as she begged Xiao Zeyu for mercy.
“Do you want to defy the imperial edict?”
Xiao Zeyu’s face turned cold and murderous. Lanting was so scared that she shook her head and looked at Xiao Zeyu with tears.
“Lanting wouldn’t dare, but…Lanting sprained her ankle and can’t jump anymore!”
Su Qing rested her chin on one hand and lazily looked at Lanting, who was pretending to be pitiful. She said lightly,
“Since she sprained her ankle, it’s useless to keep it. Why don’t we cut it off?” Lanting was so frightened that she quivered. Although Su Qing’s tone was very calm, her words were too cold. How could she be so vicious to chop off a foot with just one sentence?
“Your Majesty, please spare my life!”
Lanting feared that the Emperor would agree, so she crawled forward on her knees, begging Xiao Zeyu to show mercy.
“Drag her away.”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t look at the ghostly face. He waved his hand at the imperial guards, telling them to drag Lanting away. If Qing’er said she wanted to chop off her feet, then so be it!
What the hell was she jumping for?
To prevent her from coming out to scare people, it was best to chop her down. Lanting was terrified. She didn’t bother to flirt with Xiao Zeyu anymore. If she lost her legs, she would be a cripple. How could a cripple seduce men?
“Your Majesty, I am the princess of Japan. Please forgive Lanting on account of my sincerity!”
She wanted to bring up the rule that envoys should not be killed when two countries were at war, but she remembered that Xiao Zeyu did not say that he wanted her life. He only said cutting off her leg was not a violation of this rule, so she changed it to sincerity.
“japan snatched my city and refused to return it, then sent you to use a honey trap. If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll take advantage of me. This time, I’ll break your leg; next time, I’ll take your life.”
Xiao Zeyu declared war on the East Ocean Country. The first thing he wanted to destroy was them. Since he would destroy them, why would he give them face. There was one more thing that Xiao Zeyu didn’t say. It was also the reason why he insisted on breaking Lanting’s legs. How dare she stir up the discord between our Celestial Empress? There was a price to pay.
“Your Majesty, please spare my life. Lanting is a weak woman. Lanting cried as she was dragged out of the throne room by the guards. The Japanese envoys and musicians were so scared that their faces turned pale. They were afraid that Xiao Zeyu would chop off their feet.
After dealing with the annoying Lanting, Su Qing was also tired. She stood up from her seat, and Xiao Zeyu immediately announced that he would withdraw from court and accompany Su Qing back to the harem to rest.
However, Qing’er did not go back to her room to rest. Instead, she went to the Emperor’s field with a hoe. Xiao Zeyu removed his dragon robe and went to weed with Su Qing.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the harem were all dumbfounded. Their Emperor had been infected by the Empress and had also been poisoned by farming.
“Shuisheng, this kind of corn must be promoted throughout the country. It can solve the food problem of the common people.”
Su Qing said to Xiao Zeyu as she held the bag of rice seeds. This was the prize she had asked for from the system after she leveled up. Right now, she didn’t care if she could level up to the maximum level of her wargod ability. Those were just worldly possessions. Her current ability was enough.
It was better to exchange for something more affordable, such as drought-resistant and high-yield corn seeds, as well as the seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After three years of drought, the first thing to do to stabilize development was to feed the people.
The commoners did not want much. They did not need to eat refined grains of white flour and rice daily. It was enough as long as they could fill their stomachs.
“Alright, I’ll order someone to distribute the seeds.
Xiao Zeyu heard Su Qing calling him Shuisheng again, and his eyes were as gentle as water. Forget about Su Qing’s consideration for him; even if she wanted the moon in the sky, he wouldn’t hesitate to pluck it.
After a few twists and turns, the couple’s relationship became even stronger. Now that the entire court knew of the Emperor’s determination, no one would dare to mention Xiao Zeyu taking a concubine for at least a few years. Because neither of the two people mentioned, this matter had a good ending. Princess Lanting was not worth mentioning in front of the Empress. Who would dare to send their daughter into the palace if they chopped off her feet. Aren’t you afraid of ending up like Lanting?
“Emperor, since you chopped off the princess’ leg, we have to destroy Japan quickly.”
Su Qing stopped after she was done with the weeding and looked at Xiao Zeyu. Since they had already declared war, they couldn’t give Japan time to prepare. “En, Zhen has already ordered people to prepare rations. Once the rations are ready, we will send troops to attack the East Ocean Continent.” Xiao Zeyu nodded. He had already decided to start with the East Ocean Continent as a warning to the rest so that the smaller countries that had occupied the Great Tang’s cities would be terrified and take the initiative to return their cities.
However, they had initially decided to attack the Japanese a month later. The main reason was that the Japanese were on the other side of the sea, and they needed ships to attack them.
The navy on his side was still weak. The Japanese navy was very strong, and this was the biggest problem.
“I’ll build a warship.”
Of course, Su Qing knew this. She wanted to try building her warship. Without a ship, it would be difficult to attack the Japanese.
But Su Qing wasn’t confident that she could make it. After all, she wasn’t a professional.
“If only Qin Tie didn’t betray us. I heard that he’s good at building ships.”
“I think we’ve wronged him!”
