Chapter 357: Feeling of Compassion

Aunt Liu brought millet porridge and egg custard to Xiaoshan.

"Child, eat quickly! It's not hot anymore."

She looked at Xiaoshan with a distressed expression. She had just heard Feng Qi and the others talk about this child. It was really heartbreaking.

"..." Xiaoshan.

He stared straight at the millet porridge and egg custard brought by Aunt Liu, swallowing his saliva from time to time.

I don't believe that these are all for me to eat. Not to mention in the quarry, I have never eaten such good food even with the beggars.

I haven't even put it in my mouth yet, but I'm already drooling just by smelling it.

Seeing him in a daze, Aunt Liu looked even more distressed.

"Eat! It's all for you!"

After saying that, he placed the tray on the table next to his bed.

Xiaoshan glanced at Aunt Liu, then at Qin Chuchu, and after confirming that these things were for him, he hurried over.

He picked up the bowl and started drinking in big gulps. The more he drank, the faster he drank, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch the drink away from him.

"Slow down!"

Qin Chuchu frowned and looked at him. Seeing his impatience, she felt uncomfortable.

"Yeah." Xiaoshan nodded.

But he didn't slow down his drinking speed. He wanted to drink it slowly, but he couldn't control himself and wanted to pour all the porridge in the bowl into his stomach.

In a short while, not only the millet porridge was gone, but even the egg custard was gone.

Seeing that he still looked unsatisfied, Aunt Liu smiled.

"You're not feeling well right now, so you can't eat too much. I'll make it for you tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Xiaoshan looked at Aunt Liu and nodded obediently.

This is already very satisfying. Not only can I wear new clothes, but I can also sleep in such a new bed and eat so many delicious foods. I couldn't even dream of this before.

"Did you take the medicine?"

Qin Chuchu handed over the oral liquid in her hand.

Xiaoshan looked at the strange little bottle in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then took it, tilted his head back and drank it.

It tastes sweet, and although it has a medicinal flavor, he still thinks it tastes good.

Seeing that he drank the medicine obediently, Qin Chuchu was very satisfied and lifted the quilt beside him.

"Lie down!"

Seeing that he might faint at any time, I thought of letting him lie down and rest.

Xiaoshan looked at the brand new quilt on the bed, then looked at the princess with a gentle tone, and finally lay down on it.

It’s so comfortable to cover myself with the soft quilt, and the pillow behind my back is also soft.

He looked around again, feeling like he was dreaming. How could such a good thing happen to him?

Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she could guess roughly what he was thinking. Qin Chuchu patted his shoulder again.

"You live here peacefully. This will be your home from now on. Whether you are willing to call me sister or not, I will always treat you as my brother.

I have a younger brother here, he should be practicing martial arts right now, you will see him when he comes back, take a rest first!"

As Qin Chuchu spoke, she covered him with the quilt again. Seeing how thin he had become, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

“…………” Xiaoshan pursed his lips and said nothing.

He stared straight at the princess in front of him. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was filled with turmoil.

The princess was so kind to him, a servant of such low status. He always felt like he was dreaming.

Seeing the panic in Xiaoshan's eyes, Qin Chuchu comforted him a few more words before leaving.

As soon as I went out, I couldn't stop crying and kept wiping my tears left and right.

Even she herself couldn't understand why she felt so sorry for that boy.

When they returned to the tent, Han Muchen saw that the stupid woman's eyes were crying like a rabbit, and he couldn't help but frown.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

The man used his slender fingers to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Although I have guessed that it was because of that boy, I still find it a bit hard to understand. Although the boy is pitifully thin, he is not enough to make a stupid woman so sad.

"It's okay!" Qin Chuchu wiped her tears again and looked at the man.

"Your Majesty, don't you have something to tell me?"

"Yeah." The man nodded.

He looked at the sky which was already getting dark, put his arm around her waist, and disappeared into the air.

Qin Chuchu was startled at first, but soon adapted to it. She held the man's waist tightly, and when her feet landed on the ground, she had already arrived at the greenhouse.

"Why did the prince bring me here?"

Qin Chuchu pointed at the greenhouse door in front of her and looked at the man in confusion.

It was already dark that day, and I didn't know why this man brought me here.

“…………”Han Muchen didn’t say anything.

He just glanced at her, took her hand and walked in.

I thought the greenhouse would be pitch black, but when I went in, it was brightly lit.

"Wow! Your Majesty, when did you do this?"

Qin Chuchu looked at the giant candles in the greenhouse and couldn't stop smiling, forgetting her sadness just now.

Although the light was still dim, it was quite warm. If it weren't in this dynasty, I would have suspected that this man was going to confess his love to me.

Seeing that the stupid woman was happy, the man curled his lips and pulled her inside.

He walked all the way to the watermelon field, pulled her to sit on a long bench, and started talking about business.

"My beloved, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Well, go ahead." Qin Chuchu looked at him.

"Today you have also seen what life is like for those people, even though they do not live in my fiefdom.

But they are also the people of Dayu Kingdom, and I cannot ignore them, so I want to discuss this with you..."

Han Muchen held Qin Chuchu's shoulders and spoke seriously, but she interrupted him before he could finish his words.

"Okay, tell me how much silver you need!"

Qin Chuchu looked at the man in front of her seriously and understood what he meant. He wanted to help the people, which would probably require a lot of money, and she had no objection.

When she saw the people digging wild vegetables in the mountains, she had already felt sympathy for them.

Especially after meeting Xiaoshan, I made up my mind to help them.

I feel very sad when I think about so many people who are so hungry that they are as thin as a hill.

If there wasn't so much gold in the space, I wouldn't think so.

But now the gold in the space is piled up like a mountain, and the people here live such a hard life. If I don’t help them, I will always feel deeply guilty.

“…………” Han Muchen’s lips moved slightly.

He stared at the stupid woman in front of him. He never thought that she would agree so readily. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He hugged her in his arms, holding her tightly. Thousands of words turned into one sentence.

"This king thanks you on behalf of the people!"

Qin Chuchu didn't care, especially after saying this, her heart suddenly felt much brighter.

"Your Majesty, let's go to the market tomorrow morning!"

"Okay." The man nodded, staring at the stupid woman in front of him with burning eyes. He wanted to kiss her, but he held back in the end.

Seeing the prince and princess walking out of the greenhouse hand in hand, Feng Liu and Feng Qi were completely confused.

“…………”

That’s all!
