The sound of needle drops could be heard in the hall for a while, and those who were worried about Lin Jinyan couldn't help but sweat.
Gu Ruizhou stood up and was about to speak for Lin Jinyan, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him: "General Anbei, don't speak. Let her speak for herself."
All the eyes in the hall were focused on that small figure. Just as they were thinking about it, they suddenly heard the childish voice.
"Your Majesty, our Tianchu country is strong and powerful, which is the result of your Majesty's hard work and diligent administration and love for the people. But...there are indeed very few poor people who don't have enough to eat."
Everyone was relieved after hearing the first half of the sentence. Fortunately, this girl is afraid of flattery.
But after listening to the second half of the sentence, everyone was worried again. This girl...does she know what she is talking about?
"Are you saying...I'm not doing a good enough job?"
"Your Majesty has made Tianchu the most powerful country in the world. The country is vast and has a large population, but only a few people have no enough food to eat. This proves that Your Majesty has done a good enough job."
"Isn't it good that all the people have enough to eat?"
"Of course that's good. My grandfather and grandpa once said that we should regard His Majesty and the Royal Family as gods and do our best to do things for His Majesty and Tianchu. If Your Majesty has done everything, what else do you need ministers like us to do? "
"Where did you get the money to buy food?"
"The money came from my mother's dowry shop. It was originally managed by my second aunt, but the family was divided years ago and no one was in charge, so my grandmother took my daughter to learn how to manage the accounts."
"I heard that after the food disaster, you are still selling the remaining food at low prices. Don't you want to make more money?"
"It's good to make money, but my grandfather said that this kind of money can only be made for a short time. If you want to make money steadily for a long time, you need the protection of the Tianchu and Anding royal family."
The two sat and stood, asking and answering questions without pause, attracting the attention of the whole hall.
The emperor leaned forward and looked at the child below who answered quickly: "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
Lin Jinyan said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty is a god, and gods will protect good people. I only have respect in my heart, so why should I be afraid?"
Listening to Lin Jinyan's childish words, the emperor stopped pretending to be dark and started laughing loudly.
"Hahahaha, Taifu and General, they have a pure family background and good teachings."
Lin Yanqing: "My granddaughter is so bold and shameless and has offended Tian Yan. Please forgive me because of her young age."
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. This child speaks quickly and is sincere and kind. Not only cannot he be punished, but he must also be rewarded. Tell me, what do you want?"
Lin Jinyan said with a look of surprise: "Really, Your Majesty? Can you want anything?"
Lin Yanqing: "Yan'er, don't be arrogant in front of His Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand: "No problem, tell me, what do you want?"
Lin Jinyan: "My daughter is still young and cannot think of any big reward. Can I make a wish to Your Majesty first and ask for it when I grow up?"
The emperor laughed: "You have calculated it clearly! Do you still want to make a wish to me? Do you really think of me as a god? Forget it, I will make this wish to you."
Lin Jinyan smiled brightly: "My lord, thank you Your Majesty! With so many people listening, Your Majesty will definitely not break your promise!"
"Haha, I have my golden words, so don't worry."
After talking, Gu Yichen, Lin Jinan, and Lin Jinyan were rewarded with some valuable items. The three of them knelt down to thank them and took their seats.
Because the emperor was happy, the palace continued to have a lively and joyful atmosphere, and the ministers frequently toasted to the three members of the Gu family. When the palace banquet ended and the ministers took their leave, the three members of the Gu family were obviously drunk.
