Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1509

There were a lot of things to deal with in the court and the imperial household. Yun Shang felt that there were thousands of things that she needed to deal with, but Yun Shang didn't want to do anything. She just wanted to sit or lie there quietly.

Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh. After Luo Qingyan ascended the throne, he seldom left the Jin City or the Imperial Palace because of his identity. She had been out and left Luo Qingyan alone for two times. She had thought that this time she wouldn't have different feelings when Luo Qingyan left the palace just as she did the two times before.

However, things were totally different.

She didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but felt as if her heart had been suddenly hollowed out and she felt empty. She felt that she didn't want to do anything. She didn't want to do anything or say anything.

She didn't know if Luo Qingyan was in such a mood when she left two times before.

"Your Majesty?"

Pei Lan glanced at Yun Shang from time to time and finally said.

"What?" Yun Shang turned her head with blank expression in her eyes.

Pei Lan frowned more tightly. "Your Majesty, you have been sitting there motionless and doing nothing since you came back from the Taiji Palace. I'm a little worried."

Pei Lan looked at Yun Shang's expression carefully, "Your Majesty, did His Majesty say anything to you?"

Yun Shang shook her head, "His Majesty said nothing. I'm afraid the matter in Ganhe County is a little difficult to deal with..."

Pei Lan immediately came to her senses and asked, "Are you worried about Qian Zhuo?"

Yun Shang's fingers paused for a moment, and then she nodded, "Yes."

Pei Lan didn't notice the hesitation in Yun Shang's voice. She comforted Yun Shang, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Just take it easy. Didn't His Majesty send Lord Wang and Lady Wang there? The two of them are very capable. They must be able to bring Qian Zhuo back safely."

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I trust them."

Yun Shang felt that she had to do something to distract her attention, but she couldn't read the memorials.

It would be nice if Chengye was here.

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and thought, 'If Chengye is here, I can play with him. He is always a troublemaker and likes to pester me. If I was with him, I don't need to think of anything.' It was a pity that Chengye was not here. And she didn't know how was Chengye's situation in the State of Hing.

But since Chenxi was there, he wouldn't feel lonely.

Yun Shang lowered her eyes. There was no one she could talk with in this huge palace...

Thinking of this, Yun Shang suddenly thought of another thing. "Haven't His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty returned to the palace yet?" "Not yet."

Yun Shang frowned, "The incident in the palace has been over for several days. Why haven't they come back yet?"

Pei Lan smiled, "Maybe they thought it would take some time to deal with it, so they went far. His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty have stopped dealing with the affairs of state. Besides, the two of them have wasted nearly thirty years. They probably want to go out for a tour together and enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains of the country."

Yun Shang nodded, "You're right. His Former Majesty and Her Former Majesty have nothing to do in the palace. It's good for them to go out for a tour."

At nightfall, when Yun Shang just finished her dinner, she heard a maid's greeting from outside, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Pei Lan stood beside Yun Shang. Hearing the sound, she couldn't help but turn to look at Yun Shang.

Somehow, she felt that the Empress had become a little strange since she came back from the Taiji Palace.

"His Majesty has been sending people to keep an eye on them. After leaving the Jin City, they have been travelling everywhere and haven't had too close contact with the officials of the State of Xia. So His Majesty just left them alone and didn't pay much attention to it them."

Yun Shang nodded, "That's good."

Although the State of Youyue and the State of Yihai had formed a friendly alliance with the State of Xia, there was no eternal friendship in this world. It was always good to be on guard.

Now that they had left, she could feel a little relieved.

"The Ministry of Revenue said that the tax collected last year has been put into the national treasury, a total of seven million nine hundred thousand."

Yun Shang paused for a moment and asked, "Is it too much or too little?"

"Not good enough." Liu Wenan had a good memory. "The year before last year was more than ten million. Last year, His Majesty just ascended to the throne, and he had issued a decree to cut the tax, so the amount of tax collected last year was less."

Yun Shang nodded, "Tax cut is a good thing for the people. But I don't know if it will have a big impact on the national treasury due to the continuous war.

I hope we can have less wars this year." Liu

Wenan sighed, "If there is no war, the expense of national treasury will not be that big."

Yun Shang nodded. If they wanted to stop the war, Xia Houjing and Cangjue Qingsu must die.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and opened another memorial, "This is... From the navy camp?"

Yun Shang looked at it and said, "It's useless to just look at it. Your Majesty, come with me to the camp tomorrow morning after the court."
