Chapter 132 The Prime Minister is actually a woman, and His Majesty the Emperor drools over her.
"Madam, may I bathe with you?"
Mu Wanwan refused without even thinking, "I am the emperor's woman!"
The person behind her ignored her refusal, his clothes quickly fell to the ground, and he stepped directly into the bathtub.
When their eyes met, Mu Wanwan burst out laughing.
"Mumu, what are you laughing at? Is there something on my face?"
"No, I just, I just..."
She laughed uncontrollably, her body trembling slightly. He leaned forward and kissed her, swallowing her laughter, and bit her lip as punishment.
"Chen Feng, were you born in the Year of the Dog?"
Mu Chenfeng pretended to be angry, "Who told you to make fun of me?"
"I just find it really funny to think that you, the emperor, the most powerful man in the land, would dress up as a eunuch and climb in through a window."
Mu Chenfeng pulled her into his arms and said fiercely, "What am I doing this for? It's because I want to be with you. Otherwise, why would I lower myself and dress up like this? You have to reward me."
She drew circles on his chest, her eyes sparkling. "Then tonight I'll let you do whatever you want with me, how about it?"
"Mumu, do you know how attractive you are?"
Unable to contain himself, he took the man right there and then. The sounds of moaning echoed throughout the room, making everyone blush. Meanwhile, Consort Xiao was carefully dressing up to serve the emperor.
Upon learning that the Emperor had returned from his incognito visit, Consort Xiao eagerly went to see him again.
Eunuch Qian, being dutiful, naturally stopped the person.
"Consort Xiao, His Majesty has had a long journey today and is now resting. Please return home first."
Beneath the large cloak was her prized battle robe, for Zhao Yihan was utterly powerless against her attire.
"Eunuch Qian, I'm here to serve the Emperor. You wouldn't want the Emperor to have no hope of having an heir, would you?"
Damn it, the Emperor isn't even in the room. Even if she were allowed in, she wouldn't be able to see him.
Consort Xiao spends all her time thinking about how to seduce the Emperor, but he is indifferent to her.
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for this servant."
Seeing that Eunuch Qian wouldn't budge an inch, Consort Xiao had no choice but to give up. Before leaving, she gave the eunuch a meaningful look, then turned and left.
Back in her palace, Consort Xiao paced back and forth in her room, waiting.
The eunuch who was sent to investigate the situation returned quickly.
"how?"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is not in his bedchamber at all!"
Consort Xiao was shocked. The Emperor had clearly returned to the palace today, and the Imperial Household Department had not heard anything about him choosing any of the concubines tonight.
Where will he go?
Are you sure you saw it clearly?
The young eunuch knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, this servant watched very carefully. The quilt on the bed was folded neatly, and there was no one there."
Consort Xiao slammed her hand on the table. "What a scoundrel, Eunuch Qian! How dare you collude with the Emperor to deceive me!"
She beckoned to the young eunuch with her finger and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
As dawn broke, Mu Wanwan nudged the man who was holding her, "It's almost daylight, you should go back now!"
Mu Chenfeng kissed her neck, inhaling her fragrance, and clung to her like a big dog.
"Sweetie, it's still early, I'll take a nap!"
Mu Wanwan wouldn't allow him to act recklessly. "If you stay in bed any longer, you're not allowed to come over anymore."
Mu Chenfeng reluctantly got up, turned to look at Mu Wanwan lying on the bed with her wide eyes, and said, "I dare not disobey my wife's words!"
He stood up and neatly put on the clothes beside him. Before leaving, he kissed her forehead and said, "See you at the morning court!"
"Mmm!" She shyly pulled the blanket over herself, leaving only her eyes showing, which was quite adorable.
Unable to leave openly through the main entrance, Mu Chenfeng had to climb out the window and return the way he came. After he left, Mu Wanwan hid under the covers and laughed uncontrollably.
In the imperial court, Mu Chenfeng had the edict, which he had already prepared, read aloud by Eunuch Qian.
After hearing about the deeds of Prefect Li, the ministers in the court were all in a state of fear and dared not even breathe loudly in the court.
"Do any ministers have any objections to the adjustments to tax collection or other matters?"
Mu Wanwan took the lead and showered the emperor with praise, saying, "Your Majesty is wise and I have no objection. I am sure the people of the world will be grateful for Your Majesty's wisdom and might."
Grand Commandant Zhao was not very satisfied. "Your Majesty, distributing seeds to the people is something that has never happened before."
"Regarding the details, I will have Eunuch Qian send someone to post them on the imperial edict in a moment. All ministers can go and take a look. The grain in the national treasury is taken from the people. If it can be used for the people again, this virtuous cycle can ensure that the people will not suffer from hunger."
Mu Chenfeng wasn't stupid; if he didn't use such a good suggestion from Mu Mu, he'd be the one with a rusty brain.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Mu Wanwan really wanted to slap Zhao Yihan twice. Think it over for a second!
"Grand Commandant Zhao, when you and the Emperor went on your incognito visits, you also saw the current situation of ordinary people. They can't even solve their most basic food and clothing problems. How can you expect them to obey the government? They have to pay taxes on everything. Where do ordinary people get the money to pay taxes?"
The seeds were distributed, and the emperor selected some experienced people to guide the planting. After the harvest, part of the harvest was handed over to the national treasury, and part was left for the people.
If the people could not consume all the grain they kept for themselves, they could sell it to the government. The government would then repurchase the grain from the people annually at a set price. In this way, farming could generate income, which would increase the people's enthusiasm and ensure a fuller national treasury.
Mu Wanwan's words seemed to be an explanation to Zhao Yihan, but in reality, they were meant for all the civil and military officials in the court, letting them know Mu Chenfeng's intention in using this policy.
Zhao Yihan understood perfectly well that if things continued this way, the people would surely praise and sing the praises of Mu Chenfeng.
Mu Chenfeng expressed his approval of Mu Wanwan's words, "Prime Minister Mu is right. Grand Commandant Zhao, I feel that your thinking is too outdated and cannot keep up with the new era. You still need to study and improve more."
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I will certainly study harder and keep up with Your Majesty's leadership."
Zhao Yihan looked at Mu Wanwan. He had originally wanted to win her over, but it seemed that he had to give up on the plan now.
As night fell, as expected, there was a strange noise coming from Mu Wanwan's window, and Cui'er tactfully withdrew, leaving the two of them alone.
"Mumu, I'm here."
Mu Chenfeng changed into casual clothes today, climbed in through the window, closed the window, looked outside to make sure no one was there, and then closed the window again.
Mu Wanwan was resting on the bed when Mu Chenfeng entered, but she did not get up to greet him.
"Chen Feng, you're always acting like a thief. Anyone who didn't know better would think a thief had broken into my Prime Minister's territory!"
He slowly sat down, stroking the stray hairs that fell across her forehead. "I come every day, don't you like it?"
Mu Wanwan grabbed her hand and pressed it against her cheek, rubbing it gently. "I do like it, but it feels like we're having an affair."
