162 Seeing Pie Porridge

Yuan Qingping saw that she really didn't know anything, so he explained: "Tomorrow, Chu Mingcui will open a porridge shed outside the city to help beggars in the city, and two days ago, Princess Ji went to Qinghua Temple with illness.

I prayed and made wishes for the flood-stricken people, and I knelt all night long."

Yuan Qing Lingchang saw it. "Princess Ji is going to pray even though she is sick? She has been kneeling all night. Isn't she afraid that her condition will become more serious?"

"Yes. I heard that the condition is serious. The emperor even gave her medicine." Yuan Qingping suddenly looked at her in surprise, "That's not right. As the Princess of Chu, you don't know this news? Even I know 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?"

"You know, I heard it's a small town on the border."

"I'll ask Yu Wenhao later," Yuan Qing said.

Yuan Qing glanced at her and raised his eyebrows, "You just call the prince by his first name like this?"

"Otherwise?" Yuan Qingling didn't come back to her senses for a while, and she was still thinking about which border town was flooded? If it really happened, Yu Wenhao should know about it.

"If your father hears it, he will beat you to death." Yuan Qingping said.s11();

Yuan Qingling smiled faintly. "He can't hear me, and he can't see me."

"However, he doesn't dare to beat you now." Yuan Qing shrugged, his mouth cold. "I don't know what he is planning lately. He always takes guests home and then asks me to go out for a ceremony."

"No? Who are they? Have you met them before?" Yuan Qingling asked.

"How would I know who he is if I have never seen or heard of him? But I can probably guess it." Yuan Qingping said boredly.

Yuan Qing Ling suddenly asked, "Your marriage?"

Yuan Qing looked away, "Otherwise, what else could be the reason?"

Yuan Qingling asked: "What do you think?"

Yuan Qing glanced at her and said sarcastically: "What can I think? As long as he doesn't kill me like the guy from the Chu family did before, I basically have no chance of resisting."

She could not have any other desires for the future.

It was never her turn to give advice on marriage matters.

She resisted before because the Chu family's sword was directly placed on her neck. If she married her, she would die.

Remembering that Yuan Qingling almost died for her, a complicated feeling arose in my heart.

She used to really think that this sister was useless and vain.

A lot has changed now.

"Sister, please be careful. Now that you are Princess Chu, even if you don't mess with others, they may not be willing to let you live in peace."

Yuan Qingling was stunned for a moment, weren't they discussing her marriage just now?

Why did he suddenly start advising her? This sister's thoughts are changing so quickly.

"Tomorrow, Chu Mingcui will open a porridge stall, why don't we go too?" Yuan Qing Ling said.

"What's so good? Do you want to support her?" Yuan Qingping was puzzled.

"Chu Mingcui doesn't seem like a kind-hearted person, but if she is willing to do a few things that are beneficial to poor people for the sake of reputation, it might not be a bad thing."

Yuan Qing looked at her and said, "It is good for poor people, but what good does it do for you? You are not from a poor family, so this has nothing to do with you."

Yuan Qing Ling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, but if you are good to the people, isn't it worth being happy?"

nbsp;Listen: "I don't know if it's worth it or not, and it doesn't benefit me." Yuan Qingping said, not that she was deliberately being rude, but that she really didn't understand why she thought it was a good thing.

Yuan Qing Ling said: "Because, this is people's livelihood."

Yuan Qingping didn't understand, but when she looked at her, there was a strange look in her eyes, "You really want to be the princess, otherwise what are you doing?"

Yuan Qing Ling laughed.

Being a princess is not something she wants or doesn't want.

If Yu Wenhao is the prince, then she must be the princess.

If Yu Wenhao is not, or has no intention of becoming the crown prince, then the position of crown princess will be completely unattractive to her.

"What's going on? It's already this hour, why don't you send someone?" Yuan Qingping became impatient. She didn't want to drink porridge, but just thought that the eldest sister would be here and she should leave.

"It will take another hour?" Everyone became a little impetuous, "In this hour, I'm afraid the rice will be boiled."

There is a large open space outside the city gate. Now temporary and simple tents have been set up. Several large iron pots are set up. The fire is burning underneath. The rice is boiling in the iron pot. The aroma is overflowing, attracting dozens of people for a long time.

Poor people and beggars who had never eaten rice porridge gathered around.

Chu Mingcui hasn't arrived yet, so the porridge distribution activity hasn't started yet. s11();

The porridge cook said coldly: "Why are you in a hurry? Don't you see that it's going to take a long time? You'll have to wait for at least another hour."

If we wait another hour, a lot of people will come, right?

Now that there are more and more people, the pressure of dividing the porridge will increase. People in line are the most impatient, and they are prone to conflicts, and the scene will be chaotic.

The next day, the sisters went out together and went outside the city gate.

Chu Mingcui was very surprised. The porridge had this effect even before she started serving it?

Yuan Qingling felt very strange. The porridge was almost ready, so why wasn’t it served?

Yuan Qingping said disgustedly: "It's very hypocritical."

Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to the people. They only need to eat this mouthful of porridge. At most, they can just say thank you to Princess Qi."

The people waiting cheered, because everyone knew in their hearts that they would not start serving porridge until this "great good man" arrived.

There are many wealthy people in the capital, but there are still many poor people in the surrounding villages and towns, and rice is not usually available.

The carriage arrived in front of the porridge shed, and two maids helped Princess Qi get out of the carriage.

However, when you cook porridge on the spot, you are surrounded by hungry people, and people are coming one after another. There are only a few iron pots, which can only accommodate dozens of people. The more people there are, the more porridge you will get.

few.

Yuan Qingling's expectation was correct. After waiting for almost an hour, the carriage came slowly.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to take advantage of the time when there are few people and slowly divide a part of it to relieve the pressure during the peak period.

At this time, the people waiting for the porridge were already very impatient. They had been waiting for such a long time. It was a pity to leave, and they were annoyed after waiting. I have never seen porridge served like this.

Sure enough, my grandfather's advice was good.

There is free rice porridge to eat, who wouldn’t want to have a bowl?

The porridge cook didn't say anything and took out some firewood. When the fire became smaller, the porridge didn't boil as much.

Someone got a little impatient and asked the porridge cook, "Sir, when can we have porridge?"

Yuan Qingling quickly understood, "Chu Mingcui hasn't arrived yet. Since she wants to establish a good name, she naturally has to come here in person to be respected by the people."
