Chapter 162
Seeing that she really didn't know anything, Yuan Qingping explained: "Tomorrow, Chu Mingcui will open a porridge shed outside the city to help beggars in the city. Two days ago, Princess Ji went to Qinghua Temple to pray for the flood people and make a wish, and knelt all night."
Yuan Qing Ling Chang saw it. "Princess Ji is going to pray for blessings even if she is sick? I've been kneeling all night, but I'm afraid the condition will be even worse?"
"Yes. I heard that the condition is serious. The emperor gave her medicine." Yuan Qingping suddenly looked at her in surprise, "No, as the Princess of Chu, don't even know these news? Even I know all this."
Yuan Qingling smiled bitterly. "I am ignorant."
She didn't even know about the flood.
After enduring it for a while, she asked, "Where is the flood?"
"God knows, I heard it was a small town on the border."
"Let me ask Yu Wenhao in the future." Yuan Qing said Ling.
Yuan Qingping glanced at her and raised her eyebrows, "You just call the prince's name like this?"
"What else?" Yuan Qingling didn't come back to his senses, and was still thinking about which border town was flooding? If it really happened, Yu Wenhao should know.
"If my father heard it, he would beat you to death." Yuan Qingping said.
Yuan Qingling smiled faintly. "He can't hear or see me."
"But he dares not beat you now." Yuan Qingping shrugged his shoulders and his lips were cold. "I don't know what ideas I'm going to do recently. I always take guests home and then ask me out for a greeting."
"No, right? Who are they? Have you seen them before?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"I have never seen someone. How could I know who it is? But I can probably guess it." Yuan Qingping said boredly.
Yuan Qingling looked at him suddenly, "Your marriage?"
Yuan Qingping looked outside, "Otherwise, what else can you do?"
Yuan Qingling asked, "What do you think?"
Yuan Qingping glanced at her and said sarcastically: "What can I have? As long as it is not like the one from the Feng family who will kill me, I will basically have no chance of resisting."
She could not have any other desires for the future.
It’s never her turn to give advice on marriage.
I resisted before because the Chu family's big sword was directly on her neck. After marrying her, she would be dead.
When I remembered that Yuan Qingling almost died for her, a complicated feeling arose in my heart.
She used to think that this sister was useless and greedy for vain.
It has changed a lot now.
"Sister, please be careful. Now you are the Princess of Chu. Even if you don't mess with others, they may not be willing to let you have peace."
Yuan Qingling was stunned for a moment. Didn’t he discuss her marriage just now?
Why did you suddenly ask her? This sister's thinking has become so fast.
"Tomorrow, Chu Mingcui will open a porridge shed wide. Why don't we go and have a look?" Yuan Qingling said.
"What's so good about it? Will you support her?" Yuan Qingping was puzzled.
"Chu Mingcui doesn't look like a kind-hearted person, but it might be a good thing if she is willing to do something that is beneficial to poor families for her reputation."
Yuan Qingping looked at her, "It is beneficial to poor families, what are the benefits to you? You are not poor families, it has nothing to do with you."
Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, but it's not worth being happy to the people, isn't it worth being happy?"
"I don't know if there is anything worth it or not, it's not my benefit." Yuan Qingping said, not deliberately quarrel, but really didn't understand why she thought it was a good thing.
Yuan Qingling said: "Because, this is people's livelihood."
Yuan Qingping didn't understand, but when he looked at her, he had a little strange look, "You really want to be the crown princess, otherwise what would you do?"
Yuan Qingling laughed.
The fact that she is a Crown Princess is not that she wants to or does not want to.
If Yuwenhao was the crown prince, then she must be the crown prince's concubine.
If Yu Wenhao is not, or the position of the prince is unintentional, then the position of the princess is completely unattractive to her.
The next day, the sisters went out together and went outside the city gate.
There is a large open space outside the city gate. Now a temporary simple tent has been built, with a few large iron pots, and the fire below is burning. The rice boils in the iron pot and the fragrance is everywhere, attracting dozens of poor people and beggars who have not eaten white rice porridge for a long time.
Chu Mingcui hasn't arrived yet, so the porridge delivery activity has not started yet.
However, when I cooked porridge on the spot, there were hungry people around me, and there were people coming one after another. There were only a few iron pots. It seemed that they could only accommodate dozens of people. The more people, the less porridge they were given.
Someone was a little impatient to wait and went up to ask the person who made the porridge, "Master, when can I eat porridge?"
The person who made the porridge said coldly: "Why are you in a hurry? Haven't you seen this? At least you have to wait for another hour."
"It's another hour?" Everyone became a little impatient, "I'm afraid that the rice has been suffocated in this hour."
The person who made the porridge did not speak and removed some firewood. The fire became smaller and the porridge would not boil so much.
Yuan Qingling felt very strange. The porridge seemed to be almost cooked, so why didn’t it be distributed?
Now that there are more and more people, the pressure of dividing porridge will increase. The people queuing up are the most impatient, and it is easy to have conflicts and the scene will be chaotic.
Therefore, when there are fewer people, we slowly divide part of it to relieve the pressure during peak periods. This is the most appropriate one.
If you wait another hour, there will be many people coming?
There are many wealthy people in the capital, but there are many poor people in the surrounding villages and towns, and rice is not ordinary.
There is free rice porridge, who doesn’t want to eat a bowl?
"What's going on? It's already this time, why don't you send me?" Yuan Qingping was impatient. She didn't want to drink porridge, but she thought that her elder sister came over to watch porridge, and she should leave after watching it.
Yuan Qingling soon understood, "Chu Mingcui hasn't arrived yet. Since she wants to make a good name, she naturally has to come here in person and be respected by the people."
Yuan Qingping said disgustedly: "It's very hypocritical."
Yuan Qingling smiled, "It doesn't matter to the people. They just eat this bite of porridge, at most they just say thank you to Princess Qi."
Yuan Qingling was right as expected. After waiting for almost an hour, he saw the carriage coming slowly.
At this time, the people who were waiting for the porridge were already very impatient. They had been waiting for so long, but it was a pity that they left. I was still angry and I had never seen anyone who gave porridge like this.
When the carriage arrived at the porridge shed, two maids helped Princess Qi get off the carriage.
The people who were waiting cheered because everyone actually understood that they had to wait for this "good charity" to arrive before they could start giving porridge.
Chu Mingcui was very surprised. Before the porridge was started, it had this effect?
