Two years passed in a flash. In these two years, the lives of Great Wei’s people became richer and richer, and the National Treasury was constantly filling up, even faintly catching up with the most prosperous time of Great Wei.
In these two years, the Great Wei Emperor listened to Jian Qingqing’s suggestions and continuously reduced the people’s taxes. In two years, he reduced it three times in a row.
In addition to these, Jian Qingqing also suggested that the Emperor open night markets in rich cities and counties to revive the local economy.
Since the opening of the night market, the local revenue had multiplied several times.
With the night market, even ordinary people could sell the food and small things they made at home, increasing their source of income.
These measures won the approval of the people, and they called the Great Wei Emperor the Emperor of the ages.
Among them, there was still one person who played a pivotal role, and that was Princess Ding’an.
These measures were all proposed by Princess Ding’an, so every citizen of the Great Wei knew her name, and some even secretly worshipped her.
In the past two years, Jian Qingqing had also begun to grow up like a branch and grew into a bright and beautiful girl.
Most of the chubby flesh on her face had disappeared, and the outline of a beauty could be seen.
Her big round eyes were like pearls embedded in her oval face, making her look extremely energetic.
Her skin, which was originally a little tanned, became fair as if she had shed her skin after her development.
Her skin was smooth, her lips were red, and her teeth were white.
Her figure quickly changed, and the 13 or 14-year-old girl was almost 1.6 meters tall.
Jian Qingqing’s appearance was similar to Mother Jian. Mother Jian was a gentle beauty, but Jian Qingqing’s face was more tenacious and open-minded than Mother Jian’s. People who had been in contact with her would unconsciously be attracted to her.
In an ancient temple, there were many people coming and going. The devotees knelt in front of the Buddha statue devoutly and begged for all kinds of wishes.
A beautiful young girl stood under a tall ancient tree and muttered to herself. Then, she threw the red ribbon with the copper coin on it onto the tree.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past, and the red ribbon was dragged by the wind. It was hung on the top, and the red ribbon swayed in the wind.
Seeing this, the girl smiled slightly, like a flower that suddenly bloomed, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.
It had snowed heavily last night, and the sky was white. The tall ancient trees were already covered with red ribbons, which were swaying in the wind, matching the girl in a red cloak under the ancient tree.
Suddenly, a slightly low male voice was heard. “Baby Qing…”
The young girl suddenly turned around, raised a bright and beautiful smile, and ran towards the man who spoke.
The young girl stopped in front of the man and asked happily, “Brother Ming, you’re here!”
Ming Zhiyan grunted and grabbed her hand. Feeling a trace of coldness, he frowned and said, “Where’s your hot water bottle?”
“I just went to make a wish, ” Jian Qingqing said a little guiltily. so, I gave the hot water to Xiao Tao.
As she spoke, she proudly pointed to the highest red ribbon on the top of the ancient tree and said happily, “Did you see that? I was the one who threw it! It was thrown to the top in an instant!”
Ming Zhiyan’s lips curled up and he praised, “Very good.”
Jian Qingqing snorted and said proudly, “Of course! Are you going to die? Let’s go ask a monk, we can make a wish.”
Ming Zhiyan shook his head and refused. “No, it’s fine. I’m already very lucky to have you. I don’t need to make any more wishes.”
Jian Qingqing blushed. She did not know what had happened in the past two years, but Ming Zhiyan’s words were very sweet. The key was that she knew that he was speaking from his heart. It was hard not to be happy..
