Lizheng Hall
Li Shi Min frowned slightly, looking a little annoyed.
The palace maids and eunuchs of the Political Affairs Hall could tell that Li Shimin was in a bad mood, so they all bowed respectfully.
Empress Zhangsun saw Li Shimin and stood up.""ChenQie greets Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin pulled Empress Zhangsun," No need for formalities!”
Empress Zhangsun gave Xiu Niang a look, and Xiu Niang left the Hall of Political Establishment with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Only Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin were left inside.
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?"
Whenever Li Shimin had any troubles, he would look for Empress Zhangsun. Many times, Empress Zhangsun would not only comfort Li Shimin, but also give him good solutions.
Li Shi Min sighed," Aristocratic families! One day, I will make them pay the price!”
"Your Majesty, calm down. What happened?”Empress Zhangsun asked with concern.
"Director Yuan Tiangang of the Bureau of Celestials, observing the weather, said that the temperature will drop soon. It will be even colder in two days. This year's winter is not only cold, but the cold will last for a long time.”
Li Shimin's face was full of worry.
"I borrowed resources from the aristocratic families. Previously, none of them were willing. I don't know where the news leaked out, but after knowing that it would be even colder in a few days, the price has started to rise again!”
The more Li Shi Min spoke, the angrier he got." One day, I will kill all of them!”
"He even spread the word that he can borrow resources if he wants, but he will pay a high interest.”
"Some people even spread rumors that I was immoral and that the heavens had punished me, causing Chang 'an City to be in a panic.”
"Your Majesty, calm down. Don't be angry and ruin your health!”Empress Zhangsun quickly comforted her." Don't worry. Don't you have a way to help Lizhi?”
"I can't place all my hopes on a person I've never met!”Li Shi Min sighed.
"How much interest do I need to borrow charcoal snacks?”
"Nine out of thirteen, return within a month. Otherwise, the second person will start to accumulate interest. If this rolls over until the end of next year's tax collection, the national treasury will be empty.”
Empress Zhangsun was also shocked.
It was indeed a little scary.
" There are more and more homeless refugees in Chang 'an," Li Shimin continued." We can't settle them down."”
Li Shiming felt that he was in a good mood after he finished his words. He had to continue to deal with the mountain of memorials in Taiji Palace.
Empress Zhangsun also felt a deep sense of helplessness.
What Empress Zhangsun could do was to manage the harem well and not let Li Shimin worry. As for the others, Empress Zhangsun was powerless.
...
"Your Highness! The thing you wanted is here!" Yu Shu's voice sounded from outside the bedroom.
"Bengong understands!" Li Lizhi replied.
Xiao Ran closed the window and said,"Will it work?"”
"Don't worry! No problem, I'll try washing coal today!”Li Lizhi said.
"Go! I'm going to cook. What do you want to eat?”
"I want to eat vegetables. Do you have any fresh vegetables?”In the Tang Empire, they couldn't eat vegetables in winter.
"No problem!"
"Then I'll go get busy first!" Li Lizhi was very happy.
Li Lizhi walked out of the bedroom and began to instruct the palace maids and eunuchs in the princess's residence.
Xiao Ran stood in the bedroom and looked around. He returned home and began to prepare food.
He had bought a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables two days ago. It just so happened that he did not have to go out to buy them.
The process of washing the coal was very simple and not difficult. Soon, Li Lizhi received the washed coal.
He just didn't know how effective it would be.
Li Lizhi looked at everyone, and they were all shivering from the cold.
"Each of you go to Yu Shu and get twenty wen. Don't talk nonsense about today's matter! Otherwise, you will be severely punished!"
Hearing Li Lizhi's words, the palace maids and eunuchs were extremely excited.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Lizhi brought the washed coal back to the bedroom and let Xiaoran take a look later.
Li Lizhi did as Xiaoran said, but she still had to let Xiaoran see if she could do it.
After entering the bedroom, Li Lizhi smelled the fragrance of the food and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Xiaoran! Do you think this will work?" Li Lizhi shouted excitedly.
Xiao Ran walked out of the kitchen and saw that Li Lizhi's pretty face was red from the cold. Her small hand was also about the same and she was holding a piece of coal.
"Why are you frozen like this?"
Li Lizhi didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Ran took the coal and placed it at the side. He held Li Lizhi's small hand and blew on it.
Li Lizhi was embarrassed.
"You…"
"Let me see if you have frostbite. You're a princess. You just have to watch and not do it.”Xiao Ran pulled Li Lizhi to the heater.
Li Lizhi felt warm in her heart and swallowed her words.
"Gently put it on top and warm it up first.”
Li Lizhi obediently placed her hand on the heater." It's so warm!”
Xiao Ran gently patted the snow on Li Lizhi's clothes and hair." Go wash your face and apply some skin cream!”
"I know!"
