It was a rare night, and the breeze slowly brought a hint of coolness. I took the white nightgown handed by the palace maid and put it on, and walked out of the hazy bathroom with bare feet. My long, wet hair was shiny black, flowing with my feet.

Her steps were dancing behind her, and water droplets dripped down the tips of her hair onto the red carpet, forming a string of dark red water stains.

The breeze slipped into the room through the open doors and windows, bringing coolness to the room. The delicate hands opened the curtains that were blown by the breeze, and walked into the inner room where the palace maid had already settled. The faint fragrance of lavender floated, like

Her mist-like eyes blinked gently, and a comfortable smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, but when she saw the man on the bed, she suddenly froze.

"The Queen doesn't seem to welcome me." Xuanyuan Yeya lay sideways on the large phoenix bed, supporting her head with one hand, and the other hand casually resting on her propped up left leg. Her yellow nightgown was loose.

Song Lala, revealing her white collarbones and broad chest, took off her golden crown and scattered the three thousand silk threads in front or behind her casually. Seeing Shangguan Qi walking in barefoot, a trace of light flowed along the bright green color.

” flowed out from his eyes, and finally turned into the evil curve of his lips that opened leisurely.

What a monster! She gave him a helpless look and said nothing. She turned around and sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the wooden comb engraved with flower prints, looked at the bronze mirror, and tidied the long, wet hair on the back of her head.

A gold and bronze mirror, a mahogany comb, and hands as thick as ink on the temples.[

In the golden tung mirror, Shangguan Qi is holding a wooden comb in his hand and arranging his long hair calmly and peacefully, one by one, one by one. In the purple pupils, the tranquil light flows quietly, like the color of the moon.

The stream that meanders quietly below is so clear and moving that every ripple reflects a soul-stirring light.

The moonlight is soft, the breeze is gentle, and the beauty is dressing up in the mirror. The silver brilliance shines through the hollow window on the figure in front of the mirror, casting mottled silver light prints, making the jade-like face look more like

It is like sinking into water, so bright and beautiful.

Xuanyuan Yeya's body lying on his side slowly straightened up. His bright green eyes seemed to be infected by the moonlight, and there were also soft waves. Looking at the smile on the corners of his lips, he didn't know where he was immersed in the dream.

As a woman, a trace of longing suddenly rose in her heart, and then her body refused to obey her orders and got out of bed, approaching her.

The slightly lowered chin was hooked by the slender fingers. The hand holding the wooden comb suddenly stopped. The slender fingers slowly lifted the jade-like chin. The flowing purple eyes followed the man's slender figure, broad and white eyes.

The chest and delicate collarbone finally rested on the sinister face of the man standing against the moonlight.

The faint dragon sandalwood and the soft silver moon formed a night march. Their eyes faced each other, the light was flowing, and the gentle arc slowly appeared at the corners of their mouths...

The delicate feeling from his fingers was like fine silk, so delicate and smooth that he couldn't bear to let go. His eyebrows were as curved as willow leaves, his eyes were as bright as the moon, his nose was tall and small, and his smiling lips were pink and moving, reflected in the moonlight, and even more

It was as tender and shiny as running water, and seemed to exude a faint alluring fragrance, which made him unable to help but want to lower his head and take a sip of the fragrance.

The dragon sandalwood incense on the man's body enveloped Shangguan Qi's keen sense of smell like a cloud, and his face felt itchy. This was the result of the man leaning down and his hair falling behind him. In the purple pupils, the man's face slowly enlarged.

Pressing forward, the evil deceit was gone, and the indifference was covered up, leaving only a faint softness and a mystery half-hidden in the moonlight. The fingers on her chin were as cool as water, but she could clearly feel the man's fiery heart.

Because the breath he exhaled sprayed on her face, it was so hot, as if he wanted to melt her...

Approaching, approaching, the moonlight in front of me has been completely hidden behind the man, turning into his dreamlike background. The prince under the moonlight, everything is so beautiful...

Getting closer, getting closer, the lavender fragrance of the woman had completely enveloped him. The elegant fragrance made him fall in love, and he couldn't help but lower his head again, getting closer to the warmth that frightened him...

One punch, one palm, and finally, one finger's distance.

"Have you had enough fun?" At the moment when their lips were about to meet, the woman looked away with an indifferent face, and a piece of softness brushed against her cheek. The cool softness made her heart tremble, and a trace of blush crept up on her face.

Handsome.

The cool voice had no trace of warmth, breaking the man's dream instantly like bursts of ice and snow. His green eyes trembled, annoyance and loss flashed by, and finally turned into a hint of teasing that turned water into ice.

"I was almost fascinated by you." He whispered softly against her ear. The scent of lavender swept over him again, soothing his nerves again.

She reached out and pushed him away, ignoring his teasing words. She looked at the moonlight outside the window, turned around and said, "It's getting late, why don't you find a place to sleep?"

"Didn't I find it?" He straightened up following her strength, smiled at her stunned face, turned around and walked over to the bed.

"Hey! Are you really staying here for the night?" She stopped in front of him and saw him touching the ring in his hand and nodding jokingly. Shangguan Qi was stunned and opened his mouth slightly.

"Why...why!" He wanted to sleep here, so what should she do? She turned around angrily, only to find that he had already laid down and closed his eyes to rest. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, showing that he was in a good mood.

"You...get up!" Seeing him lying on his bed, Shangguan Qi became angry. He threw himself and jumped on the bed. He grabbed the man's strong arms and tried to pull him up.

"You...get up! Why do you want to take my place!" She pulled his arm hard, but the man remained motionless, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became brighter and brighter. The angry Shangguan Qi couldn't help kicking him.

, kicked him in the body.[

"Hey - what are you doing!" Xuanyuan Yeya frowned angrily as he touched his lower abdomen and looked at the proud-looking woman with her hands on her waist while smiling.

"Humph, I just wanted to see if His Majesty the Night Emperor is dead. Judging from your reaction, it seems like he is not, so why are you still pretending to be dead?" He glanced at him, then crossed his legs.

, sat on the bed. "Since you're not dead, let's go quickly! I still want to sleep!" He said and yawned lazily.

"I said, I'm going to sleep here tonight!" He gritted his teeth and looked at her, and said viciously. Damn it, I kicked him so hard, it hurt to death.

"Why! Why are you sleeping in my palace when you have nothing to do?" She looked at him angrily, with a look of displeasure on her face.

"I'm happy!"

"I don't like it if you like it! Hurry up! Go back to your palace or go to other concubines. Anyway, you are not welcome here!" After saying that, he yawned again. There was no other way. In the past few months, I was used to going to bed early and getting up late.

, She had long dreamed of Duke Zhou before this time, unlike today, with his ink.

Are you not happy? Xuanyuan Yeya raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, then leaned back and lay down again. "No matter what, I will sleep here tonight." Well, on the bed.

They all have that fragrance, which is really comfortable.

"You! You! You are shameless!" Even though he has so many bedrooms, he insists on snatching hers away, yet this person still has no shame!

"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Yeya snorted, raised his brows, and gave a ruffian-like smile. "This is my palace, my home. I can sleep wherever I want. You can control it."

What? Besides, you are really my woman in name, and I sleep on my wife’s bed, what’s so shameless about that?” After saying that, he raised his eyebrows again.

"You! You!" Shangguan Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak. Seeing the scoundrel look on his face, she wished she could pounce on him and bite him to death. To pay him back? How shameless are you!

Seeing him lying there with a look of enjoyment on his face, Shangguan Qi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He tried to kick him, but he dodged it. After several times in a row, he finally lost angrily. He got out of bed and kicked today's little boy.

He took the account book that was delivered to him, then sat on the carpet in front of the bed and read through it with his back against the bed.

The moon is in the sky, and the night is as cold as water. The red candles placed on the table are swaying by the wind outside the window, and cast on the lightly dancing curtains, as if covered with golden light. Lying on the bed supine

Xuanyuan Yeya closed her eyes and waited for a while. Seeing that it was still quiet around her, she couldn't help but secretly opened her eyes. She saw that the figure who had been sitting on the bed had gone somewhere, so she widened her eyes and turned her head to look outside.

, but found that white figure leaning on the bed and looking at something.

"What are you looking at?" He turned over and came closer to her.

"Huh? You're awake, then I'll go to sleep!" Seeing him waking up, she hurriedly turned over to get into bed, but no matter how fast she moved, it couldn't be compared to the shameless person's quickness when he rolled over and spread his limbs. "You are enough.

Cruel!" He glared angrily at a certain man who was smiling proudly, picked up the account book thrown on the ground, lay on the bed and started reading again.

"Isn't this the account book that the little kid sent you?" A certain man turned over and shamelessly leaned his head over her again. Because he found that teasing her was much more interesting than sleeping.

"If you want to sleep, go to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, get out of here!" She turned her head and glared at him, then turned back and continued flipping through the account book. But her purple eyes were misty, and she was obviously very sleepy.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you if you speak to me like this?" Upon hearing the word "get out", Xuanyuan Yeya frowned in displeasure and looked at her half teasingly and half threatening.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll pounce on you and bite you to death before you kill me?" Shangguan Qi, who was extremely sleepy, didn't care about his status as emperor at all, and turned her head to look at him half teasingly and half threatening.

"You are so rude." His slender fingers picked up her dark hair that was spread on the bed. Before she could put it to her nose for a sniff, she was snatched away by the stretched out jade hand.

"You! Sleep!" She glanced at him coldly and continued to look back at the account book, even though she had already written down all the contents in the account book.

"Have you finished reading this account book?" Seeing that her face turned cold, as if she was really angry, Xuanyuan Yeya stopped teasing her, turned over and lay down side by side with her, and asked while looking at the account book.

"Yeah." Nod.[

"What do you think?" He looked at her sideways.

"Waste!" He spat out two words indifferently. "Luxury!"

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Why do you say that?"

"The promised monthly salary is enough for a poor family for half a year. Isn't this a waste?" She turned her head and glanced at him, and then said, "If all this money is cut in half and accumulated over a long period of time, think about it.

What a huge sum of money. If we use this money to benefit the people, how many poor families will be changed?"

"But if the monthly salary is reduced by half, aren't we afraid that other countries will say that our Xuanyuan Palace is too simple and harsh?" He asked with a smile. "Xuanyuan Kingdom is very powerful, but in the palace..."

"The true strength of a country is not reflected in the arrogance and luxury of the people in the palace, but in the quality of life of the people. Let me ask you, is it because the palace is so rich that the people are so poor?

Is a country more prosperous than a country whose palace expenditures are enough for the people to have enough food and clothing? Judging from your expression, I agree with the second one. The people are the main people who make up the country. If the people of a country can have enough food and clothing, then this

Even if the monarchs of the country eat bran-thick vegetables, they will be praised as wise monarchs, because their wealth lies in the richness. But if the monarchs eat pig heads and big ears one by one and the people are skinny, then the country will not be considered strong.

The speed is only temporary and superficial. From the outside to the inside, which country do you think can last longer?" Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted him. He saw her nodding in thought as she followed what he said.

, I feel that this Night Emperor is actually quite good. It is used to receive advice. It would be strange if the country is not strong!

"The queen is right. So, what are you going to do with the money you saved?" In fact, he had also thought about reducing expenses, but never implemented it. Now after listening to her words, he made up his mind.

"The money saved can be used for many things. Although the drought problem in the south has been brought under control and victims from all over the country have returned to their hometowns, the food problems and subsequent development issues of the victims have not yet been solved. So the money can be used for disaster relief or

The construction of water conservancy projects is what I wrote to you last time. Coupled with donations from businesses everywhere, I think there will be no need for funding from the court in the short term."

"It seems that the queen was not prepared to open the treasury to contribute funds from the beginning." Hearing what she said, Xuanyuan Yeya vaguely remembered the time when she gave them instructions in the imperial study room.

"Hey, you still don't understand what I said!" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qi sighed helplessly, turned his head to look at him, closed the account book and said, "Although there is any disaster in the country, the imperial court will open the treasury for disaster relief.

It should be, but you can’t just stick to one thing! Didn’t I say, don’t just think about asking the treasury to provide money, but fully mobilize the funds circulating in the market. Because only when money circulates, will it

Play its role. The national treasury will try its best to spend money, but in the end it will only make the money in the treasury less and less, and the money that slips out will eventually fall into the hands of those businessmen, regardless of whether they pay taxes or use some method to flow in.

In short, more money goes out than money comes in from the imperial court's pockets. In short, in terms of the national treasury, it is unable to make ends meet. In the long run, this will lead to a fiscal deficit and an empty national treasury."

"What should we do?" It involved some economic principles. Although Xuanyuan Yeya didn't understand it clearly, he understood the overall meaning, so he lost his laughter and put on a serious look.

"What should we do? Part of the gold and silver currently circulating in the market performs its functions through transactions on the market, while the greater part is hidden in the treasure houses of businessmen or wealthy people. Apart from this idle money
