Chapter 225

"It seems that building the Grand Canal is indeed no easy task. If not for the Great Sui's immense national strength back then, Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, probably wouldn't have been able to build such a magnificent Grand Canal, right?" Qin Mu said to himself with a wry smile as he casually flipped through a report in a memorial.

"Indeed! But this concubine believes that no matter how difficult the task, it will surely be resolved easily when it comes to you, my husband."

A graceful figure slowly walked in and quietly placed a cup of warm tea in front of Qin Mu.

"You're here?"

Qin Mu took the teacup, looked up, and smiled.

Over these past few days, Li Xueyan seemed like a different person; she was no longer cold and icy.

She took meticulous care of Qin Mu's daily life, even personally attending to small matters like his meals.

Being treated with such sincerity, Qin Mu naturally saw it and kept it in his heart, and his guard against Li Xueyan gradually softened a great deal.

The relationship between the two was improving, looking very much like a pair of celestial lovers.

"Husband, how is the construction of the Grand Canal going?"

Li Xueyan walked behind Qin Mu naturally and gently massaged his shoulders.

The pressure was neither too light nor too heavy, just right.

Feeling the waves of comfort from his shoulders, Qin Mu felt both his body and mind relax. He closed his eyes to rest and said, "The current project is proceeding quite smoothly. With Shen Kuo leading top experts from the Academy like Xu Guangqi and Jia Sixie, along with the all-out assistance of a group of engineering talents, the site for the canal has already been determined. Moreover, the first phase of the project has officially been implemented."

"Isn't that great? What did you mean earlier when you said it wasn't that simple?"

Li Xueyan was also quite concerned about this matter.

As Qin Mu's Princess, she naturally hoped to help him as much as she could.

Empress Zhangsun was Li Xueyan's goal to strive for.

When Li Xueyan heard that Qin Mu was going to build a Grand Canal in Great Qin, she was also taken aback.

This was no simple project!

The former Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, built the Grand Canal, which led to an empty national treasury and was even regarded by the world as the direct cause of the Great Sui's downfall!

However, everyone knew.

The Grand Canal was a great project that would benefit future generations!

That Qin Mu had such courage and ideals made Li Xueyan feel immensely gratified.

Her own husband was the greatest hero in the world.

Any woman would feel incredibly happy in her heart.

Precisely because of this.

Li Xueyan secretly made a resolution to help her husband, Qin Mu, successfully build the Grand Canal.

Only then would she not live up to her title as Princess!

Besides this.

Li Xueyan had another little secret unknown to others!

That was the fear that Qin Mu would be tempted by other women.

Especially after the appearance of the Queen of Jingjue, which made Li Xueyan feel somewhat restless.

Qin Mu was simply too outstanding.

So outstanding that no woman could remain calm and composed in front of him.

To put it bluntly.
