Qin Zhen bent down and said with a wry smile: "The winter has just passed, and I am worried about the problem of military rations. During this disaster relief, the seizures from the previous court have almost been dispersed."

"You don't know how much money the court has to allocate every day. Just cotton-padded clothes have been purchased from the market at sky-high prices."

Zhou Jian said: "The food is provided by the Sun family in Yingchuan, and the money is taken from the treasury. If there is not enough, it is borrowed from corrupt officials' families. In short, it is imperative to strengthen the army!"

"I have already foreseen the scene of the Northern King sending his troops south. Although the imperial court has some troops, they are not enough to face the Northern Group. This matter cannot be delayed!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhen realized the seriousness and didn't know what to say: "Yes!"

"Your Majesty, the minister will first mobilize 100,000 soldiers for secret training and then recruit them?"

Zhou Jian nodded: "Just do it, but don't let the matter leak out first. Beiyuan has too many spies, even in the court!" His eyes flashed with a cold look, and he was very wary.

"And in the year of great disaster, if the army is drafted again, the people will panic."

Qin Zhen's energetic eyes flashed with a hint of admiration. Your Majesty is really thoughtful when doing things.

"Okay! Wei Chen will do it now!"

Immediately afterwards, he also left, and only Zhou Jian was left in the huge palace.

He was on the road for several days and rarely rested in Yingchuan. He sat on the dragon chair and fell asleep after a while, his snoring loudly.

But when he woke up, he was already in the Millennium Palace. The fire was strong, the palace was gorgeous, and the faint fragrance of women made him feel relaxed and happy.

"Hiss!" He took a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

"Why have I come to you? How long have I been asleep?" He turned over.

Hearing the sound, Qin Huairou immediately raised the bead curtain and came closer, revealing a gentle and bright smile with white teeth: "I sent someone to carry your majesty here."

"It's uncomfortable to sleep on the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Look, didn't you sleep for seven or eight hours?"

As she spoke, she bent down to put on Zhou Jian's shoes.

Zhou Jian looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. He looked away, but just in time to catch Qin Huairou bending down, he saw the mysterious white under the delicate collarbone. He couldn't help but reach out directly.

Qin Huairou subconsciously hid, and Bai Huer's face scolded: "Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha!" Zhou Jian stood up, hugged her and said, "I haven't seen you for half a month, my beloved concubine is even more beautiful."

Qin Huairou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she changed the subject and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a day. Eat something first. I asked someone to make soup."

Zhou Jian raised his eyebrows: "What soup? Could it be some kind of tonic soup? If you drink too much of that stuff, it's easy to fall asleep."

Qin Huairou's face turned red and she patted his hand that was placed below her waist. She said with beautiful eyes, "The imperial doctor said that drinking it can prolong your life. If your Majesty really can't sleep at night."

She turned around: "No... are there still concubines?"

Zhou Jian chuckled, hugged her from behind, greedily breathed in the fragrant wind on her neck, and said in a gentle voice: "Huairou, are you hinting at me?"

"Well, then there is!" She denied it flatly, feeling extremely embarrassed. Her crystal earlobes were itching. She turned around and urged, "Your Majesty, come and drink it quickly. It won't be good if it gets cold."

"Your Majesty and my concubine have a short farewell, but you are not allowed to...make fun of me!" She lowered her head, a little shy, and extremely charming.

Zhou Jian saw through it but didn't say it. She was a little proactive. She probably had been the queen for so long and her stomach had not moved, so she felt anxious.

After all, there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having children. This era is different.

"Okay, I'll drink! And I won't sleep tonight, I will fight until dawn!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I'm ignoring you!" She blushed and ran away.
