Quick wear: the heroine was robbed by the sick villain

Chapter 600 The Demon Concubine Confused the Country (24)

"In the early years of Qingming, the national treasury was empty, the bureaucracy was huge and corrupt, the people were in dire straits, and the royal family was in constant struggle every year. If it weren't for the mother and concubine's drastic reforms to settle the people's livelihood, various uprisings would have erupted everywhere."

In the nearly 200 years since the founding of the Great Xia, the government has long since lost its integrity and served the people when the country was founded. There are more and more people, and the institutions are becoming more and more bloated.

In the reign of Emperor Qingming, the lower family members, officials, and landlords almost monopolized the entire land of Daxia, leaving very little for the peasants, and the people's life became more and more difficult.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the government forces the people to rebel.

It was the imperial concubine who disregarded her own reputation and used the most iron-blooded means to punish corrupt officials, cut out useless officials, suppress powerful landlords, and liberate the land for farmers, which injected vitality into Daxia and saved this precarious dynasty.

Countless people died in those years, but most of them were moths that almost ate up the entire country, and they deserved to die.

Nowadays, those so-called Taoist priests shout every day that the demon concubine will harm the country and the Great Xia is in danger, but it is only because the imperial concubine threatens their interests and oppresses their financial resources.

The Great Xia Dynasty is not considered to be peaceful in the world now, but most places are considered stable and stable, and the national treasury has become more and more abundant over the years.

It can be seen that the imperial concubine has devoted herself to this dynasty for many years.

Ruan Mian looked up at her, her eyes were as bright as the morning sun, "The merits and demerits of the mother concubine will be judged fairly by future generations. The so-called demon concubine who harmed the country is not just a mouthful of old and old people."

The imperial concubine's eyes were hard to distinguish, she asked slowly: "Do you think this palace is right?"

Ruan Mian nodded without hesitation, "For the benefit of the people, the contribution lies in the country. The mother and concubine are the real rulers of the empire, and they can truly leave their names in history. Some people will only be an insignificant dust under the sway of history." .”

The imperial concubine rubbed the little girl's cheek with her fingertips, "Do you know that your words are deviant and unacceptable?"

If it gets out, those so-called orthodox literati will definitely criticize her, and her reputation will be ruined.

He will also be regarded as a betrayer of the royal family, a flattering villain in the eyes of the world, full of stigma and infamy.

Ruan Mian tilted her head, "Isn't it enough for the main concubine to let me?"

"With my mother and concubine here, even if those people don't like me, in front of me, don't they still have to flatter me respectfully and curry favor with me?"

Ruan Mian was frank and frank when facing the thigh of the imperial concubine, not afraid of being known at all.

Oh, she is so proud.

The imperial concubine was a little speechless for a while, she should tell the little girl, no one can be someone's lifelong backer.

Don't just think about the present, think about the future.

Fame is not as insignificant as she thought it could be and ruin her life.

Nothing is absolute. In case something happens to me, does the child know what the consequences will be?

She will be regarded as the accomplice of the demon concubine and be forever lost!

Just seeing the little girl's unreserved trusting eyes, the imperial concubine couldn't say anything.

She pinched the center of her brows, feeling a heavy burden suddenly placed on her shoulders, a little heavy.

Her free-wheeling thoughts of destruction disappeared one after another.

She herself doesn't care, but she can't drag this little girl to hell with her, right?
The imperial concubine sighed softly, that's all, after all, she probably still has some time to live, and she has to help her arrange the future.

"Mother and concubine, eat plum blossom cake, Xinggu made it, it tastes really good."

Ruan Mian took the cake and handed it to the imperial concubine's mouth.

She glanced at the little girl, did not refuse, opened her red lips lightly, and took a bite.

"Mother, is it delicious?"

"It's okay."

Ruan Mian blinked, is it okay?
Without thinking too much, she stuffed the plum cake that the imperial concubine had bitten into her mouth.

The plum blossoms are sweet but not greasy, and the pastries are soft and glutinous, so delicious.

But it's true, the concubine mother has never eaten any delicacies, and she can say it's okay, isn't it a great evaluation?

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the imperial concubine looking at her with complicated eyes, Ruan Mian asked blankly.

The imperial concubine's red lips twitched slightly, this child was not conscious at all.

"You are not allowed to..."

"Mother, what are you not allowed?"

The little girl tilted her head, her big watery eyes were clean and clear, without any shadow.

The imperial concubine unconsciously swallowed the words, and stretched out her hand to cover the girl's face, "Sit down."

Ruan Mian sat up obediently.

It's just that she woke up too early this morning, and the phoenix chariot was warm and stable. Before she could even take a sip of tea, she began to doze off.

Immediately, she fell directly into the arms of the people around her.

The imperial concubine who suddenly had a warm soft ball in her arms: "..."

She lowered her eyes, and saw the little girl sleeping in her arms unsuspectingly, her sallow face had gained some baby fat, soft and cute.

It was raised by her own hands.

The imperial concubine's beautiful face was stained with a little softness, she stretched out her hand, helped the little girl up, and covered her body with her wide sleeves.

Ruan Mian subconsciously rubbed her chest, the habit engraved in her soul made her rely on her unconsciously.

just...

The imperial concubine watched the little girl's head buried directly in front of her chest, her body froze slightly, her eyelids twitched.

this kid...

With the free hand of the imperial concubine, she took the plum blossom tea on the small case, and almost took a sip of it boldly.

Outside, Eunuch Wang De smiled like an uncle, wishing he could bring all the treasures from the palace, oh no, all the treasures of the world to His Royal Highness the little princess, to make her happy.

When she is happy, the more smiles on the master's face, and the more nostalgic for this world.

How good!

……

Ruan Mian slept until noon, and was woken up by the imperial concubine who had just returned from seeing the minister of the Ministry of Construction.

"Mother concubine."

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice was soft and sweet.

The imperial concubine's throat rolled slightly, and she let out a "hmm".

She touched the little girl's face, "It's noon, let's get up and eat."

Ruan Mian hugged the quilt and dazedly rubbed her small face against her palm, obviously not awake yet.

The touch of the smooth and soft skin in the palm made the imperial concubine feel tense again.

She withdrew her hand without any trace, took the warm towel respectfully handed over by the palace servant, and wiped her face and hands herself.

Ruan Mian shook her head, covered her lips and yawned, "Concubine Mu, have I slept since morning?"

"Ah."

The imperial concubine pinched the little girl's white and tender fingers, the palms were still a little callused, but they were much better than a month ago.

The child's physical recovery ability made her feel a little relieved.

It's just that you have to take it easy.

It was only then that Ruan Mian realized that she had actually occupied the concubine's phoenix bed, no wonder she slept so peacefully.
