The Dark Prince's Special Forces Concubine

Chapter 195: If you stretch your hands too far, you will be easily taken advantage of!

Girls from military families deal with men all year round, so it is normal for them to be exposed to the wind and sun.

There was no mine at home, and the family relied entirely on their father and brothers to earn merit on horseback. How could they have spare money to buy skin care products and other impractical and expensive items for their family?

"What do you want frostbite cream for?" Mu Qingqing glanced at them. Although it was obvious that their palms had calluses from years of martial arts training, it was not necessary to use frostbite cream.

Lei Yu took a step forward, her cold eyes flickering slightly, "Princess, we sisters are here for the servants in the mansion. Most of them are retired from the battlefield after being injured, and cannot work due to physical reasons. Several of our mansions have taken in these retired wounded soldiers, and they do what they can with their meager physical strength."

Yu Yuanyuan frowned, her eyes filled with sadness. "We have several older veterans who have taken in our mansion. They don't want to burden us, so they often go to the dock to do odd jobs. I saw that many of them had rotten hands and feet, and pus kept oozing out. A few days ago, I heard from Aunt Ma next door that the frostbite cream that the princess gave to the servants in the mansion was very effective. It can heal after a few days of application. We discussed it and decided to try our luck at today's chrysanthemum viewing banquet."

Bao Baozhen, the daughter of the lieutenant commander, who had a cheerful personality, clasped her fists and bowed to Mu Qingqing, "If the princess still has some extra goods, we have collected some silver and would like to ask the princess for some."

After saying this, a blush appeared on her pretty face with a wheat-colored complexion. It was really rude to ask someone for frostbite cream when they first met...

Mu Qingqing frowned, her eyes flickering, "Don't the governments provide subsidies for these wounded veterans when they retire? Don't they have any subsequent employment arrangements?"

Do you generals have to make your own arrangements? With your little salary, is it enough to support a few veterans? You still have to take care of your own families.

Several people present looked at each other in bewilderment. Today, there were many talented men and beautiful women gathered in Qin Ya Garden, many of whom were children of powerful people. It was really difficult to answer this question in public!

Mu Qingqing looked at the busy work of the third and fourth people on the left. Chunxiang was taking photos of the beautiful girls and handsome guys.

After thinking for a moment, he shouted to Ye Tianran, who was surrounded by stars, "First disciple, come here. It's time for you to shine."

Ye Tianran, who had just picked up the wine glass and taken two sips of wine, stood up stupidly after hearing the shouting. Suddenly he realized that the Sixth Auntie seemed to be calling him.

He ran to Mu Qingqing and said, "Master, the time for you to shine has come. What good thing can you do for the country and the people?"

Mu Qingqing turned to Nan Yuxue who was in the first position and said loudly, "Princess Yu, I have something else to do at home today, so I will go back first. My maids and guards will leave on their own after they finish their work."

Nan Yuxue's smile on her porcelain-white face froze, her brows knitted slightly, and she said softly, "Princess Pingyang, there are still several programs that haven't started yet, are you leaving now?"

The two good shows that I arranged for you have already ended miserably, and the remaining good show has not yet begun. How can the protagonist leave? Then won’t all your plans for today be ruined?

"First of all, I would like to thank Princess Yu for her warm invitation, which gives me the opportunity to enjoy such a beautiful scenery. Secondly, I have already participated in the game of passing the flower, and even if it is my turn later, I have already written nine more poems about chrysanthemums. Finally, I have important national affairs to discuss at home, and I don't have time to play these children's games of house." Mu Qingqing spoke in a clear voice, with distinct words and clear logic.

Nan Yuxue was ashamed by these words. Mu Qingqing said that a good chrysanthemum-viewing banquet was just a child's game! She was the only one who stole the limelight before!

This is really too much! Nan Yuxue suddenly felt a mouthful of blood stuck in her heart.

After hearing this, the people who were originally happily taking photos, chatting and talking about everything turned pale and red in embarrassment.

Several sons of officials stood up and said goodbye to Nan Yuxue one after another.

Mu Qingqing would not care about Nan Yuxue and Daiyu's sad expressions. I have been playing with you for the whole afternoon today, and I have earned almost all my appearance fees. I don't want to play with you anymore! Go back and do something big...

After whispering to Zuo San, she turned around and walked towards the gate of Qin Ya Garden with Ye Tianran and her two best friends.

When passing by Lei Yu and his friends, he even glanced at them to catch up quickly.

Lei Yu and his three companions came in a hurry with their maids. They didn't even have a chance to meet the host of the banquet, and left in a hurry with Mu Qingqing.

It comes and goes in a hurry, without taking away a cloud.

Mu Qingqing asked Lao Ma to go directly to Yanzhi Building, which had not yet been demolished, to find Fu Renjie.

Ye Tianran sat opposite Mu Qingqing, chattering and asking questions all the way.

"Master, what good news did you just say? Let me have some fun first." Ye Tianran, who had transformed into a nagging old woman, kept muttering.

Mu Qingqing squinted at him and said in a gloomy tone, "As a member of the royal family, you have the right and obligation to find a way out for the retired veterans of your family who have fought through life and death. It was only today that I learned that the life of a retired soldier in Donglin Kingdom is so embarrassing and helpless."

This topic escalated too quickly. Ye Tianran always felt like he couldn't keep up with his master's train of thought.

"Look at you. As a descendant of the royal family, you eat and drink the best food every day, and you can chat with a few young masters about love and romance. But the soldiers who go to the battlefield for your Donglin country are injured and disabled, and when they retire, they don't even have a place to live and settle down! Even having enough food is a luxury. Tell me, with such a country and such a policy, how many passionate men who are willing to defend their country will be discouraged?" Mu Qingqing became more and more angry as she spoke. When she saw the two retired soldiers being treated as playthings by the sons of the powerful and having no human rights at all in Qin Ya Garden, she was already furious, and her voice couldn't help but rise eight octaves.

Ye Tianran was at a loss: This seems to be something that the father and the crown prince should be concerned about! Is it my turn to take care of it? If I stretch my hand too far, I might get my hand chopped off!

Mu Qingqing couldn't stand seeing Ye Tianran acting so silly. Just looking at his expression she knew what was going on in his head.

"Knock." She bent her index and middle fingers and tapped them on his head.

"I'm not asking you to abdicate, nor am I asking you to rebel. What's with that expression on your face?!" Mu Qingqing pursed her lips angrily.

Ye Tianran stared at Mu Qingqing in astonishment: "Master, it's fine if we just say this in private, but if it gets to my father's ears..."

"If I have a chance, I really have to talk about this topic with your good father! This concerns the people's livelihood of the whole country. The welfare benefits of soldiers must be improved. Only in this way can the country become strong and the people can live a stable and happy life." Mu Qingqing said righteously.

Ye Tianran was shocked and went crazy: Master, this is a national event! I don't even have to attend the morning court yet, and you are telling me about such a major issue for the people's livelihood! This is something that the person sitting on the throne and the future crown prince should care about! Are you overestimating me? !

"You don't have to look at me like that. In order to be worthy of your identity and status, can you give some pocket money to the retired veterans in your family?" Mu Qingqing's voice was strong and righteous.

Ye Tianran looked at Mu Qingqing with innocent eyes and said weakly, "You can have this! It's all up to Master."

Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said with a cheerful expression: "Yes, this young man is teachable!"

The four people including Lei Yu who were following Mu Qingqing's carriage were all sitting in the carriage with uneasy looks on their faces.

"Sister Lei, why do you think Princess Pingyang wants us to follow her back? Is it because of the frostbite cream?" Yu Yuanyuan pouted, her cute baby face full of suspicion.

Lei Yu was silent for a moment and clenched his fists. "Everything will work out when the time comes. We will find out why Princess Pingyang wanted to do this."
