"Aiya! Bold slave, get up quickly! Get out of the way!" A eunuch's voice was heard from outside the door. The children were so frightened that they quickly moved aside, but Qiao Sheng was getting more and more anxious. Two hands pulled him up at the same time. One was Yun Fei, and the other was Eunuch Wang, who had rushed in from outside the door.
"Is Royal Sister alright?"
"Princess, get up." Princess Changping and Yun Xia pulled Princess Anping up and saw that the little girl was frowning. She held her forehead with one hand and touched her butt with the other.
"Qiao Sheng, are you okay? Quickly apologize to the princess." Yun Fei let go of his hand to take care of Qiao Sheng, but Eunuch Wang neither let go nor cared about the princess. He just stared at Yun Fei in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking. He only had one feeling: This young man looked familiar.
"Eunuch Wang, are you alright?" Princess Changping asked Eunuch Wang with a smile.
"Oh? I'm fine, I'm fine. Greetings to the Eldest Princess and Second Princess! Is the Second Princess alright?" Eunuch Wang seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly let go.
" Princess…Princess, I'm sorry!" Qiao Sheng was so scared that he was incoherent. His legs went weak. When Eunuch Wang let go, he almost fell again. Fortunately, Yun Fei quickly caught him.
"It's fine. It's my fault for running too fast." Princess Anping hurriedly comforted him. She had already put down the hand that was rubbing her butt because she was embarrassed, but the hand that was rubbing her forehead was still rubbing hard.
"Princess, I'm sorry. I apologize to you. Please forgive my son's recklessness.”Han Peiwen hurriedly ran over and knelt down in front of Princess Anping. "It's okay. You don't have to panic.”Princess Anping smiled bitterly.
"Eunuch Wang, you personally sent the food over. The emperor is really anxious about the needs of the people. Eunuch Wang, you've worked hard. Come in and rest for a while.”Yun Xia let Eunuch Wang in.
"Aren't the two princesses here? The emperor asked me to come over and take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the princess to go back first.”In other words, the Emperor was not at ease with the two princesses.
"It's okay. We don't want to go back so early!”The two princesses said in unison. Princess Anping even forgot about the pain. What a joke, how could a bird that had flown out of the cage return willingly? They rarely left the palace, not to mention that this was such a meaningful event. How could they miss it and give up halfway?
"Alright, then this old servant won't go back. Just wait here.”Eunuch Wang said helplessly.
"Go ahead!" Princess Changping pursed her lips and smiled.
"Eunuch Gong, the food has been unloaded. They're all outside. Do you want to move in?" A guard came looking for Eunuch Wang.
"No need, no need!"
"Let's move it ourselves!"
"Let's go, everyone, let's move the food!”The people in the temple were talking one after another and had already run out of the door. What a joke, food! Who didn't know that food was the most important thing for the people, let alone these people in front of them who were desperate and cold.
"How much food did Eunuch bring?" Princess Changping asked.
"Replying to Princess, this old servant brought two carriages of food and delivered it all the way here. There isn't much left. However, the Emperor said that he would make arrangements for everyone to survive the winter safely.”Eunuch Wang replied.
"That's great! There was rice and wheat flour! Now, we can eat rice porridge every day, and we can even eat white steamed buns!”Someone shouted excitedly.
"That's right! Everyone still has to thank the current emperor!”Red Cloud intentionally reminded everyone.
"Thank you, emperor, thank you for your life!”Mr. Han understood what he meant and hurriedly kowtowed. All the commoners knelt down and thanked him. "Long live the emperor! Thank you, Princess Qiansui!" Even the princess thanked him.
"Everyone, please rise!" The princesses were beaming with joy. They felt that these people's worship was much more sincere than those in the palace.
"Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for sending the food! It's really a timely help." Han Peiwen thanked Eunuch Wang.
"Hehe, it's nothing. How dare you disobey the emperor's orders? I'll do my best." Eunuch Wang was also very happy. He also felt that the respect others had for him here was unprecedentedly real.
"Everyone, are the wild vegetables ready?" Yun Xia asked.
"Replying to Miss Yun, it's done.”Han Peilin answered respectfully.
"Let me give everyone a suggestion. How about adding some flour to the wild vegetables?”Yun Xia said with a smile. She thought of her hometown, where she had eaten all kinds of vegetable paste.
"That's really a rare delicacy. Forgive me for asking, but how did Miss Yun know how to eat it?”Han Peilin was confused.
"Oh, I can't tell you that.”Yun Xia was stunned for a moment and hurriedly pushed away.
"Dali, quickly add some flour to the wild vegetables. This way, we can eat a few more people.”Han Peilin called Hu Dali.
"Hurry up and make more food for everyone later.”Han Peiwen instructed them.
"Got it, big brother. Go take care of sister-in-law. She's still very weak.”Han Peilin agreed. So they were brothers.
"Yes, I know." How could he not know that there was no other way to arrange for his wife to do the work? If he didn't make arrangements for his own family, how could he make arrangements for others? The intelligent wife knew what she was thinking.
"Eldest princess, the emperor asked the imperial chef to make your favorite pastries.”Eunuch Wang suddenly remembered.
"Pastries? We're not hungry. Give it to the children.”Princess Changping said emotionally. She only felt that she usually ate delicacies from all over the world, but she did not know that there were still people in this world who did not have enough to eat. She was really ashamed.
"Dongmei, go and distribute these pastries to the children.”Princess Changping instructed.
"It's no big deal now. Let's go back?”Yun Xia said. At the same time, she had a new plan in her heart.
"Thank you for the pastries, Princess!" Qiao Fang came to thank the princess with cakes in her hands.
"Goodbye, Qiao Fang. We're leaving.”Yun Xia called out.
"Goodbye, Miss Yun."
"Eunuch Wang, we will leave first. You can leave later, lest they all come to send us off.”Princess Changping instructed after some thought.
Phoenix Cabinet.
Yun Xia was in her study, thinking hard about a new plan. She felt that she should teach Xi 'er and the others some simple math. Also, he should think of a long-term solution for the refugees. It could only help the emergency but not the poor. The current method of treating the symptoms but not the root of the problem would not solve the problem even if the national treasury used all of it. On the way back to the residence, she had some vague ideas about these problems. Now that she had carefully sorted out her ideas and felt that they were feasible, she wanted to discuss them with the general after dinner.
In the palace.
Princess Changping and Princess Anping came to see the Emperor as soon as they returned to the palace.
"Your son greets Imperial Father!" The two of them bowed to their father. The Emperor was reading memorials in the royal study. Usually, when the Emperor was reading memorials in the study, he would not summon anyone unless it was an urgent matter. Today, I heard from the chamberlain that the princess had returned to the palace and made an exception to summon her. This showed that he attached great importance to the issue of settling the refugees.
"Rise! Did you two gain some knowledge from this trip out of the palace? What do you think?" The Emperor piled up the memorials, set up the pen, and took a sip of tea. It seemed that he wanted to have a good talk with his daughter.
"Imperial Father, this son left the palace with deep emotions. Usually, staying in the Imperial Palace was like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. How could he know that the world outside was worlds apart from the world inside the palace? In the Imperial Palace, I was not satisfied with my life. However, the commoners outside were living a life of rags and hunger. Now that I think about it, if I were to eat those delicious dishes again, it would really be difficult to swallow. Father and the others were really pitiful. They were already grateful to have food to fill their stomachs. He even praised his father for being a wise ruler, saying that the heavens had a spirit and that the heavens had opened their eyes! Father, you must think of a way to solve their food and clothing problem. Your son has finally experienced what it means to put food first.”Princess Changping sighed with emotion, as if she had matured in an instant.
