However, Jun Mo has always been thick-skinned and generally ignores irrelevant people.

He calmly sat down and began to place the chess pieces.

He has an amazing memory. The last time Yu Jiuer left in a hurry, he was able to re-arrange the unfinished endgame without missing a single piece in just a few moves.

After setting up the table, he took a sip of tea leisurely, sat up straight, and prepared to have a candlelit night chat.

Yu Jiuer played the chess piece nonchalantly, holding the white piece in her hand, and made small talk: "The New Year is just a few days away, how do you plan to celebrate this year, Your Majesty?"

"The New Year is dispensable to me. When I was young, I was only concerned with fighting for power in the palace. During the New Year, every word I said and every thing I did had to follow my mother's wishes. Later, when I was at war with the Northern Turks, how could I have the heart to celebrate the New Year? This year, I am still alone?"

Jun Mo said it indifferently, as if he was discussing a trivial and ordinary matter, but when Yu Jiuer heard it, she felt sad for him again.

In modern times, even though she is an orphan, she has good friends who invite her to their homes to celebrate the New Year together, so she is not lonely.

She likes the Chinese New Year very much. During the Chinese New Year, she can temporarily stop her busy pace, focus on the world without distraction, and feel the warmth in her heart.

Last year she traveled through time and was on her way to take the imperial examination during the Chinese New Year. She was so obsessed with the imperial examination that she just focused on reading. This year she has her own children and she wishes she could have a happy and peaceful new year.

For some unknown reason, Yu Jiuer blurted out, "Why don't you bring the people from the palace with you to celebrate the New Year with us? It will be so lively!"

After Yu Jiuer finished speaking, she wished she could bite off her tongue on the spot. Was she sure it was she who said that just now?

Possessed!

Jun Mo was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Yu Jiuer to be so generous suddenly.

Thinking that she must have some ulterior motive, he asked, "Does the king have to prepare a New Year gift?"

Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up. Is it possible?

What an unexpected surprise!

So, he said bluntly: "We have to give the children New Year's money!"

At the same time, I was silently wondering how many children there are in Yinshan County?

Yu Jiuer heard that people in the capital were rich, and those in high positions would usually give large red envelopes to their children during the New Year.

In this way, wouldn't her people with children be able to receive a small fortune this year?

Because she plans to invite all the people to the farm to celebrate the Spring Festival together this year!

"Okay!" Jun Mo, who didn't know there was a pit ahead, nodded without hesitation. He was secretly happy in his heart. Aren't they just the two little pudding dots in her house?

In a good mood, Yu Jiuer concentrated on playing chess. Once she got serious, the chessboard was filled with the flashing of swords and sabers.

When the fight was in full swing, Mu Xier suddenly appeared, bowed and said to Yu Jiuer: "Husband, the child misses his father!"

Jun Mo glanced at her with disdain: They discussed this for a whole night, and this is it?

At least let the child cry a bit, right? How could she come up with such a story when it was so quiet? It was not even one ten-thousandth as good as the tricks of the eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Yu Jiuer rubbed her forehead and glanced at Jun Mo with a little embarrassment.

Since she invited him to celebrate the New Year together, Jun Mo decided to let her go!

He said sympathetically: "Then I will go back first!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After Jun Mo left, Mu Xier took credit: "What do you think? Is this a good reason? Using the child as a shield is still the most effective!"

Yu Jiuer covered her face: What kind of "extremely smart" wife did she marry?

Fortunately, there was something to come tonight, and she was looking forward to the scene of Jun Mo giving out New Year's money to rows of children.

On New Year's Eve, people start to get busy early in the morning.

People were slaughtering pigs and sheep, rolling noodles and making dumplings, and laughter and joy could be heard from the farm.

This year is a special reunion year, and the prisoners were also invited by Yu Jiuer to make dumplings and eat New Year’s Eve dinner together.

In the past, many prisoners, like the people of Yinshan, thought it was a luxury to have a meal of white rice during the Chinese New Year. Now, they can even eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, which is like a dream for them.

Everyone rolled noodles, made dumplings, and fry meatballs together, having a lot of fun!

The men who didn't know how to make dumplings made some awkward dumplings under the careful teaching of the women, which caused everyone to laugh from time to time.

Yu Jiuer walked among the people and said happily: "Everyone can eat as much as you want today!"

Looking up, I saw Jun Mo standing at the farm gate from afar, looking hesitant and hesitant, which was very unlike the resolute and decisive person he usually was.

What made him so embarrassed?

Yu Jiuer stepped forward and greeted him: "My Lord, you are here? Come in quickly!"

Jun Mo sighed lightly and handed her a letter.

When Yu Jiuer opened it, the smile on her face froze.

She smiled bitterly: "I knew it would be so easy to get the emperor to abolish the Yinshan Contract. But the emperor's reason is too far-fetched, isn't it?

He actually said that we didn't protect Yu Jiuer well, which caused you to remain unmarried until now, and that's why he didn't want to cancel that broken contract? Can't he make up a reason that doesn't insult my intelligence? "

"You have to find a reason!" Jun Mo advised, "Don't worry! Haven't you hired so many knowledgeable teachers? In a few years, you can easily train a top three student."

"Yes! I should be content!" Yu Jiuer sighed and continued, "Besides, the emperor at least agreed that we should stay in seclusion!

And next year we won't have to recruit any more men to build the Great Wall, which is cause for celebration!"

Yu Jiuer invited Jun Mo to come in and have New Year’s Eve dinner together!

She raised her glass and said to the people, "This year, we have realized our first wish. Our farms have achieved high yields, the people have enough food and clothing, and we have also rescued many Yinshan people from the Western Regions. So, next year, we don't need to recruit able-bodied men to serve!"

"Clap, clap, clap!" The people stood up excitedly and clapped hard. Many people couldn't help but burst into tears. It was really not easy to get to this point!

Yu Jiuer continued, "As for what goals we need to achieve next year to continue to be exempted from labor service? The official document has not yet been delivered. However, as long as we work together, there is nothing we can't overcome. Do you have confidence?"

Wang Meng took the lead and shouted loudly: "We all have confidence in having such a good county magistrate who is different from others and loves the people like his own children!"

"Yes, we have confidence!" everyone agreed.

Hearing the people's trust in her and feeling their attitude which was different from last year, Yu Jiuer felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Her voice was hoarse and her eyes were burning as she continued, “Then we will continue to work hard and set new records. We will smooth out all the roads in the county and build factories well. A brighter future will be waiting for us…”

After giving an impassioned speech of encouragement, Yu Jiuer sat down and drank and chatted with Jun Mo.

Yu Jiuer still felt a little disappointed because she failed to abolish the Yinshan Contract.

She kept drinking and started talking nonsense: "Why does your father hate the Yinshan people so much? Can't he forgive us for your sake? Doesn't he have to hold a sword over our heads to feel at ease?

Also, why can't you just marry someone to appease him? Do you have to target Yu Jiuer? She is not a good match for you..."

The baby has tried very hard, but he feels so sad!

Jun Mo frowned. She was sad. For some reason, he was upset and felt an inexplicable heartache.

Yu Jiuer complained while drinking, and finally started crying.

He didn't calm down until he felt dizzy and fell on the table.

Jun Mo stared at her intently, his cheeks flushed and his ears red and pink.

Perhaps because he found it strange, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her ear, causing Yu Jiuer to mutter, "Go away! Lecher!"

She is so delicate and charming, how can there be any masculinity in her?

Jun Mo was very surprised, as if no matter how much he looked at her, it was never enough. He felt that the noisy sounds around him were gradually fading away, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

As he watched, Jun Mo simply picked her up and carried her horizontally, walking straight towards the tree house as if no one was around.

I was thinking to myself: How can a grown man be so light? And have such a nice fragrance?

Then my heart trembled. Why did this smell so familiar?

Where have you smelled it before?

He was still daydreaming, while the people were already in a state of confusion.

The people who knew Yu Jiuer's identity were worried that the matter would be exposed; others who did not know Yu Jiuer's identity were worried that the county magistrate would go astray!

After taking a few steps, Mu Xier and Wu Yan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Yu Jiuer.

Mu Xier whispered, "Your Highness, there are so many people watching us! This is against the rules!"

Jun Mo then realized that his heart was completely and uncontrollably attracted to someone. He felt the same pain she felt, laughed the same way she laughed, and felt the same way she felt!

Is it really because it is so hard to find a soulmate that I feel this way?

He's never had that in his life!
