"You guys should guard this place to prevent anyone from breaking in. We should also send two guards here. We also need manpower at the porridge shed."
Wang Yiyao wanted to laugh when she saw Zhang Ziqing's arrogant look. He didn't understand anything and wanted to get involved in everything.
At this time, some squires came over, "Princess, this Miss Zhang said it was approved by the emperor. Do you know about this?"
"I know. As long as it doesn't violate the big principles, just listen to her and don't worry about me. But remember, you must not let her act recklessly. If there is any situation, report it to me immediately."
"Yes, Princess, we are only willing to help you and the prince because of your face. If she goes too far, don't blame us for giving up halfway."
Wang Yiyao appeased everyone and continued to observe secretly from the side.
"Lengfeng, let's go to the porridge shed and have a look."
Wang Yiyao came to the porridge shed and saw that the pot had been set up and the rice was ready.
"It's best to wait until tomorrow morning to start this porridge. Give the person responsible for cooking the porridge more money and let them get up early to cook it. Also, be sure to wait until the porridge is cooler before delivering it to the door, otherwise there will be too many people to prevent burns."
"Yes, Princess."
Zhang Ziqing would never have thought of such a small matter. She had all the power. Wang Yiyao could only check more small details and hope nothing would happen.
The next day, in the morning, I was finally ready to serve porridge.
Wang Yiyao came to the scene early with cold wind. After a while, she saw a familiar figure, Chu Wanting, why is she here?
Then Wang Yiyao saw the British duchess, the eldest princess, the minister's wife, and some generals' wives, all of whom were from famous families in the capital.
"Madams, let's just wait here. Today, it is Miss Zhang who is presiding over the porridge and food distribution. After all, she is a daughter of a famous family, and the queen's sister is different."
Wang Yiyao suddenly understood that this was to see Zhang Ziqing do good deeds and take charge of the overall situation. He was obviously trying to curry favor with the queen. Chu Wanting had a falling out with the queen mother. In order to survive in the palace, she had no choice but to curry favor with the queen.
"Princess, it was obviously your idea to give out food and porridge, and those people did it because of your face, but this Zhang Ziqing reaped the benefits."
Leng Feng, who was usually not very talkative, couldn't stand it. Wang Yiyao looked at her.
"It's okay, I don't care about this. As long as the people don't starve, the prince and I are dedicated to the people. So we don't care about fame and fortune at all."
Lengfeng looked at Wang Yiyao's calm and peaceful profile, and felt even more admiration in his heart.
The food has been prepared and the porridge has been delivered. The time has come, but Zhang Ziqing still refuses to release the food and porridge, and the people's emotions are somewhat out of control.
"When are we going to put out food and give porridge? I'm almost starving to death."
"Don't push to the front, everyone will have their share in a while."
The people below have begun to crowd forward anxiously, and the officers and soldiers are about to lose control.
At this time, Wang Yiyao felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, as if she was having menstruation.
"Lengfeng, go and buy some tissue paper for me. I seem to be having my period."
The two left the scene first and went to the hut not far away.
"Why don't you give us porridge yet? Hurry up."
The person next to him reminded Zhang Ziqing, "Miss, it's almost time to start. The victims can't wait any longer. What if something happens?"
"Why are you in a hurry? The Queen has promised to come. We will wait for her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the victims below began to surge forward, and the officers and soldiers could not suppress them at all. They were all extremely hungry people, and they did not care about anything else in order to eat.
"Stop them quickly, don't let them come through."
However, there were too many people, and they swarmed up. All the food and porridge were robbed, and some people were trampled underneath. When Zhang Ziqing saw the scene, he couldn't control it at all, so he ran away with his maid.
But those princes and nobles just now had no time to dodge, and some of them were already squeezed underneath.
When Wang Yiyao came back and saw the scene in front of her, she gritted her teeth angrily, "This Zhang Ziqing is really hateful. Something happened after all."
Just now the eldest princess was injured and pinned down, "Miss Zhang, please pull me out."
Zhang Ziqing only focused on his own escape and did not care about the eldest princess. She had been beaten all over and was injured and could not get up.
After Wang Yiyao came back, she tried hard to search for those princes and nobles with her eyes. She looked around, and suddenly a familiar figure, the eldest princess, was pressed to the ground.
"Leng Feng, come with me quickly to save the eldest princess, she is injured."
Lengfeng's quick eyesight and quick hands pushed aside the people around him and rescued the eldest princess from under the crowd.
"Leng Feng quickly takes the princess back to the house. I will go back soon."
After Zhang Ziqing left, she returned to Zhang Mansion and called many officers and soldiers from home. She asked these officers and soldiers to attack the people and drive them away with sticks.
"Hit me, hit me hard, until they leave here."
"You can't do this. They are also innocent."
"Innocent, they robbed all the granaries and porridge despite my lady's orders. Do you think they should fight?"
There was anger in Wang Yiyao's eyes, "It's not that you had to wait. It was already early tomorrow and you had to wait for the Queen to come. That's why they are like this. Do you know how many days they have been hungry?"
"I don't know. Anyway, as long as they break the rules, they will be punished."
Wang Yiyao couldn't stop Zhang Ziqing at all and was very anxious. At this moment, Feng Minyi came over and said, "Stop it. If you dare to attack the common people, be careful that my king's elite guards will not be polite to you."
"Feng Minyi, why are you back?"
"I was worried that something might happen to you, so I asked Ling Yun and the others to go ahead. I don't feel comfortable coming back to see you."
Zhang Ziqing was so frightened by Feng Minyi that he didn't dare to speak, so he had to give in.
"Folks, listen to me, don't be impulsive. If you haven't received the food and porridge now, please line up. I will arrange for someone to deliver the porridge again to ensure that everyone of you has a share."
As soon as everyone heard King Donglin's words, they all consciously lined up with their bowls in hand.
"Okay, now go see if there is any porridge and bring it over quickly."
Soon, someone brought another large pot of porridge over. This was what Wang Yiyao had specially instructed yesterday to cook an extra pot to prevent accidents.
"Okay, now let's line up and wait for you one by one. After drinking the porridge and feeling strong, we can go over there to get the food."
At this moment, the porridge soup scene was very quiet and orderly. Wang Yiyao was very happy to see everyone drinking porridge.
"You two, take care of the rice scattered here and cook porridge tomorrow."
