Chapitre 117: Chapter 117 Father's Promise_1

Wei Ruo thought to herself: Why is he asking me this, what does he want to reward me for? Can't he just say it outright? Why does he insist on me speaking up about it?

Who knows what kind of hole she might dig for herself after she made a request. The minds of the royal family were complex, brimming with twists and turns, who knows if she might accidentally step into some kind of taboo territory?

Wei Ruo said, "This humble girl dare not ask for any reward."

"Since I've asked, you should answer. You need not worry," Chu Lan said.

"The effort to cultivate the barren land in the south of the city was on behalf of the country and the people. Being able to provide food for them is my fortunate attribute. Since my father serves in the court, living off the king's income and bearing his worries, as his daughter, I should also understand this principle and share his concerns," Wei Ruo replied.
