Quick Wear: A Newbie Goes to Pet Her Husband

"Hoohoo...run! Why aren't you running anymore? Ahem...you two little thieves!"

Li Baoli was panting, holding his knees with his hands, bending over, and continued to speak harsh words to Lin Qingyan and Ling Nianxiao.

"Huh... Li'er, you guys run really fast!"

Ye Jianrong didn't care about maintaining her false image at this moment. She was sweating profusely and looked a little embarrassed. Despite this, she still showed off her charm and gave Ling Nianxiao a smile that she thought was chic and charming.

Being surrounded by people, seeing the hostility on their faces, Lin Qingyan narrowed her eyes and asked them, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Humph! What are you doing? Someone died in your restaurant. Your husband wanted to plead guilty for you, but the Prime Minister used his power to settle the matter. However, I am zealous and cannot bear to see such a thing happen under the feet of the Queen. Today, I will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven and deal with both of you."

Li Baoli revealed a ferocious look and spoke viciously to Lin Qingyan.

After watching the two children play and fight as they walked out of the door, Ling Yao immediately turned her attention to the salt that Lin Qingyan brought back. She carefully touched the salt grains with her hands, feeling their texture, while recalling the wonderful taste she had just tasted.

"This thing is really not simple! This guy finally did something remarkable this time. No, I have to find the queen quickly." Ling Yao carefully put away the precious fine salt, then quickly rode a fast horse and galloped towards the palace.

In the palace, the morning court session had just ended. Empress Mu Yunsheng was discussing important matters with the Minister of Revenue Li Qingyu and General Li Feng, who had just returned from the frontier.

"Your Majesty, when it comes to fighting, I, Li Feng, have no objection, but as for the food and fodder..." Li Feng hesitated to speak.

"I understand the principle of 'food and fodder must be sent before troops move', Minister Li." Ling Yao turned her head and cast her gaze on the Minister of Revenue Li Qingyu, who held the key to the national treasury.

"I'm here." Li Qingyu hurriedly bowed, his head almost lowering to the ground.

"Allow funds to be allocated and have the people below prepare enough food and fodder. At least it should be enough to last until this time next year. This time, I must take over the Martial Arts Island in one fell swoop!" Mu Yunsheng sat on the throne, and when he said this, he exuded an unparalleled domineering aura.

"This..." Li Qingyu looked embarrassed when he heard this, and looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Mu Yunsheng frown.

"What?" There was already a hint of dissatisfaction in Mu Yunsheng's voice.

"Your Majesty, I know that the border is in urgent need of silver, but...but the silver in the national treasury right now is not enough to support it until the time Your Majesty mentioned." As Li Qingyu spoke, her body began to tremble involuntarily. She was obviously afraid that Mu Yunsheng would punish her for this.

When Mu Yunsheng heard this, she suddenly remembered something. Yes, Jinguodi’s largest official salt business this year did not make much money, and even her own small treasury was used to subsidize national expenses.

The harvest this year is not good. There is a lot of drought in many places, and it is not a good idea to increase the taxes on the people.

What should we do? Just when they were in a stalemate.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience."

Hmm? What is Ling Yao coming to see at this time?

"Xuan."

"Call for an audience with the Prime Minister."

Following the father-in-law's words, Ling Yao walked into the Yangxin Palace with steady steps.

"Your Majesty, the Queen."

Ling Yao bent down and bowed, performing the etiquette of monarch and subject to Mu Yunsheng.

"My dear minister, please stand up. You have come at the right time. Please help me solve this difficult problem." Mu Yunsheng looked at Ling Yao, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation and eagerness.

Ling Yao stood up and took a closer look at the people in the hall, and guessed what the empress was worried about. After all, as the prime minister of a country, any major events in the country would hardly escape her eyes and ears.

She was naturally aware that the memorial submitted some time ago mentioned that this year's drought had caused the official salt business to plummet. Not only that, there were two other major powers eyeing her country covetously.

Not only did she have no money, but she also had to be on guard against other countries' covetousness all the time. This feeling was extremely frustrating for not only the empress, but even she herself felt it.

However, when she thought of the object in her arms, her originally frowned brows instantly relaxed.

"Your Majesty, I will show you something that may help you out of this predicament."

After saying this, Ling Yao carefully took out the small brocade bag from her arms, held it high, and presented it in front of Mu Yunsheng.

When Mu Yunsheng heard this, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She couldn't even wait for her father-in-law to come and take it, so she walked down the steps herself, eager to see the true appearance of this mysterious brocade bag.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as the father-in-law started talking, he saw Mu Yunsheng waving his hand. He immediately understood and stopped talking. Instead, he lowered his head and stood quietly behind Mu Yunsheng.

Mu Yunsheng held the brocade bag in her hand, but she was not in a hurry to open it. She first looked at the brocade bag from left to right, and then raised her head to look at Ling Yao who was standing in front of her and staring at her intently.

The joy revealed in Ling Yao's eyes made Mu Yunsheng look forward to the contents of the brocade bag.

"Ling Yao, you'd better not lie to me." Mu Yunsheng said softly, then slowly opened the brocade bag, poured the contents into the palm of his hand, and observed it carefully.

"This thing seems a little familiar." Mu Yunsheng frowned slightly and stared at the item in his hand.

The two people standing nearby were also attracted and came forward to look curiously.

At this time, Ling Yao smiled slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is salt."

Mu Yunsheng widened his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on Ling Yao. A hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shifted his gaze back to his hands.

"You said this is salt?" she murmured to herself, with incredible surprise in her voice.

Mu Yunsheng was extremely shocked by what she saw. She finally understood why she felt like she had seen it before. It turned out that this was a salt that was even finer than coarse salt!

"That's right, Your Majesty, this is the fine salt that is better than official salt." Ling Yao followed Lin Qingyan's words and solemnly introduced this novel name into the long history of Jinguo Land.

Mu Yunsheng asked, "How did you get this thing, my dear?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ling Yao raised the corner of her mouth and revealed a sly smile: "It's just a little toy that my child at home tinkered with when he had nothing to do."

Mu Yunsheng couldn't help but laugh out of anger. Ling Yao casually took out such a shocking treasure, but said this in such a proud and complacent tone.

What's even more infuriating is that Ling Yao not only said this, but also had a smug look on her face. Didn't she see that the other two people around her were looking at her with envy?
