The others, upon hearing this, fell silent and quickened their pace.

Although everyone dressed quickly, they carefully dressed each string of beads according to the standard.

These large meat skewers each contain about five large pieces, and they are skewered with iron skewers.

At first, they found it strange that the iron skewers were white, but later they heard the little princess say that they were iron skewers.

Everyone was shocked; iron skewers were considered quite expensive in the Great Dynasty these days.

What if those customers take these iron skewers with them?

They had some concerns in their hearts.

But the group had already made up their minds to pay close attention to the metal skewers on the table after the business opened tomorrow.

As soon as Su Muyao arrived at the princess's residence, she saw several little beggars at the entrance.

Each of these little beggars was trembling.

Suddenly, one of the boys, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, saw Su Muyao, especially noticing that she was about to enter the princess's residence.

He quickly stepped forward and stopped Su Muyao.

When the guards at the princess's residence saw these beggars daring to stop their master, they immediately came out one by one with boards in hand.

Su Muyao was still somewhat unaware of the situation in the capital. When did so many beggars appear?

"I don't know where you are?"

Suddenly, the beggars in front of Su Muyao knelt down with a thud.

“We fled all the way from the border, where the Dazi destroyed many houses.”

They basically committed all sorts of atrocities, including burning, killing, looting, and pillaging, and each time they would gradually infiltrate the great dynasty.

It all started in our little village, which was separated from the neighboring country by only a small stream.

So they started by targeting our small village, and only about a dozen households survived.

We had no choice but to flee all the way here. We hope that the little princess can take pity on us and arrange a job for us.

We don't ask for much, just enough to eat.

After the man in front of them finished speaking, the gatekeepers who had followed him put the boards they were holding back down.

That's so awkward ╯▂╰

Su Muyao understood, and it seemed she would still have to attend the morning court session tomorrow.

"Go and call the steward of the manor over."

After speaking to the gatekeepers, Su Muyao hurriedly went back to call for reinforcements.

When the housekeeper arrived, Su Muyao finally spoke, "These people also fled all the way here."

The buffet is about to close, let's pack up the leftovers and give them to them.

Also, see if there are any suitable jobs for them. They're all strong young men; they shouldn't have any problem doing manual labor. Let's find them some work first and pay them daily wages.

Upon hearing the princess's words, the steward immediately agreed.

He then led these people away.

The buffet at Su Muyao's place always has a lot of leftovers every night, which are mostly packed up and given to beggars or refugee areas outside the city.

Or perhaps other employees would take it back as a late-night snack.

That stuff is fresh daily, and these people are refugees; if they don't like it, there's nothing I can do about it (ー_ー)!!

After returning to the manor, Su Muyao ate a few bites of food and then went to her room to sleep early.

I had no dreams that night.

The next day, the alarm clock on Su Muyao's bedside table rang.

By the time Su Muyao finally got out of bed, it was already 5:30 in the morning.

Those people who fled to the capital last night, I still have to go to the morning court.

After all, he or she is the Grand Preceptor of a great dynasty. If there's nothing else, he can simply choose not to go.

But now that something has happened, I have to make my own decision.

When Su Muyao arrived, she noticed that the atmosphere in the court was somewhat strange.

The emperor's eyes lit up when he saw Su Muyao enter.

"Yaoyao, didn't I hear your new restaurant opened today? How come you still have time to come to the morning court?"

Su Muyao then spoke up: "Last night, some refugees from the border came to my area. I heard that their houses were burned down by the Dazi army a long time ago."

Most importantly, among the villagers, many died or were injured, and very few survived.

"I came today mainly to see if the letter from the Emperor has arrived."

The emperor nodded upon hearing this: "The letter just arrived, and it does indeed say that the two villages near the border have been destroyed."

I am still considering who to send.

As the emperor spoke, he glanced at the ministers in the hall.

Wherever the emperor's gaze fell, all the ministers immediately lowered their heads.

Su Muyao's lips twitched. Ever since she was a baby, these ministers had been useless.

Now, so many years have passed, and none of these ministers are still capable of being of any use.

The emperor naturally noticed this as well and sighed.

The only ones truly capable of protecting the great dynasty are a few generals, and now all of them have been dispatched by me.

The rest of them just chatter on about trivial matters every day, but when something really big happens, they all become as silent as the dead.

Su Muyao looked at the emperor staring at her and thought to herself, "Do you expect me, a girl, to lead troops into battle and fight the enemy?"

Although that's what I was thinking, I didn't say it out loud.

If I dared to say those words out loud, this old bastard might just flatter me.

Then you'll be in a bind, unable to decide whether to go or not.

Just then, Minister Li spoke up: "Your Majesty, although Prince Longyuan has been deposed, he is still a prince of our Great Dynasty."

In my opinion, it would be better to let Longyuan go and quell the war.”

When the emperor heard Minister Li say this, he sighed.

"Two days ago, Longyuan corrected his farewell, saying that he wanted to be a carefree ordinary person."

I also wanted to see this beautiful land, so I won't be coming back for the next two or three years.

Hearing this, the others felt that the crown prince was truly despicable.

One of the officials, Lord Wang, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Long Yuan is still too young and impetuous."

Although he had won a battle before, he abandoned his post simply because he was deposed. I think it was the right thing for Your Majesty to depose him.

How could such a prince be worthy of the position of future crown prince?

The emperor frowned upon hearing this; this Lord Wang was known for his sharp and sarcastic remarks.

But he has put himself in a high position, and if he backs down, the crown prince will have no chance of returning in the future.

At this moment, the Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, you are mistaken. Although His Highness the Crown Prince has been deposed, everyone understands what it means."

It was just the emperor trying to dampen his arrogance. Who can be without fault?

Furthermore, in my humble opinion, His Highness the Crown Prince has done nothing wrong.
