"Ruanruan, you can go and inform the emperor and others now." Ruan Qichuan said.
"Yeah." Ruanruan put the vase she brought over on the ground, and then disappeared into the warehouse.
In the Taihe Side Hall of the Imperial Palace, the emperor was checking Zhao Chengqian's homework.
"Yes, yes. It seems that your father has not neglected your discipline over there. These proposals are the same as what your father responded to me at the beginning." The emperor stroked his beard. The more he looked at his grandson, the more satisfied he felt.
This is the orthodox way for them to govern the country. They are neither cowardly nor overly extreme in either civil or military governance.
Zhao Chengqian raised his eyes to glance at the emperor, pursed his lips, and seemed to be about to speak.
"Okay, I won't keep you here anymore. Go find Ruanruan." said the emperor.
Zhao Chengqian raised his eyebrows and immediately looked up at the emperor.
The emperor patted his shoulder and said unhappily, "Do you think I don't know what you want to do? You've been with me for a while and glanced at the vase several times."
God'er was only ten years old and still at the age of playing, so the emperor didn't want to put too much pressure on him.
"Go ahead."
"Then my grandson will withdraw first." Zhao Chengqian was silent for a moment, then he stood up, saluted the emperor, and spoke.
Before he could turn around, the vase on the table flashed and Ruanruan appeared in front of him.
"Brother Xiaogan, Grandpa Emperor."
"My father asked me to come and inform you that all the things we bought have arrived. Now you can find a place to put them." Ruanruan said.
"Your Majesty, there is no food supply inside or outside the palace. The inner treasury of the palace is currently controlled by the imperial concubine. If such a pile of things suddenly appeared, it would probably arouse suspicion."
"That's right. Ruanruan's identity can't be known to too many people right now."
"Grandpa Emperor, why don't you send these things to the cold palace? It's bright and spacious there, and there aren't many people around. No one will notice them."
"Okay, let's do as my son said. Chunxi, send someone to clean the cold palace." The emperor thought it was a good idea. The cold palace was inhabited by concubines who had made mistakes and elderly concubines dowagers. Most of them were elderly widows who had no one to rely on and no relatives.
Chunxi acted quickly. After receiving the emperor's order, she immediately took a group of servants to clean the cold palace inside and out.
"What are you doing? Why are you all here in the cold palace? Can you be quiet?" The queen was lying on the chaise longue, looking at the busy Chunxi and the noisy sounds beside her, she opened her eyes and said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. This is something His Majesty ordered us to do. It's urgent, so I'll have to inconvenience you for now." Chunxi walked over with a smile on her face.
"What's the matter? Do you need to come to the cold palace to do it?" the queen asked casually.
Chunxi stammered, "This... I don't know either. Why don't you ask His Majesty?"
This matter concerned the young miracle doctor, so he didn't dare to tell the queen rashly.
"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to know about your nonsense. Just don't bother me." The queen waved her hand and said.
She turned over, pulled her fallen cloak, looked up at the bare trees in the yard, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, a scene of peaceful and tranquil life.
Chunxi sighed. She had to say that this master had always had a very good attitude. When the Duke of Zhenguo just passed away, this master even went to ask His Majesty for help. After the incident, she acted like nothing had happened. She stayed in the cold palace all day long, reading books and worshiping Buddha. She was too lazy to pay attention to His Majesty when he came.
Your Majesty, apart from attending to state affairs, usually carves some toys.
But it is strange that even though His Majesty and the Empress have had such a quarrel, he still comes to see the Empress whenever he has time, as if only with the Empress can His Majesty play with wood carvings with peace of mind.
The couple can still live their own lives together without disturbing each other.
"Royal Grandmother!"
"Queen Grandma." Two children's tender voices and the sound of scattered footsteps came from outside.
"You are here." Upon hearing this, the queen slowly sat up from her chair.
"Yeah, Ruanruan brought the chessboard over. You can play with it when you're bored. There are also comic books over there." Ruanruan walked to the Queen's side, took back her small schoolbag from Zhao Chengqian, opened the zipper, and took out the chessboard and two comic books from it.
"Oh, by the way, Ruanruan returned the tea we got from our side to the Queen, as well as some food and drinks. I'll give them to the Queen later."
"Eunuch Chunxi, are you done cleaning?" Ruanruan looked at Chunxi.
Chunxi said, "Young Master, you will need a while. Please play for a while. I will call you when you are ready."
Ruanruan nodded and opened the chessboard.
The chess pieces were placed on the table one by one. Ruanruan, Zhao Chengqian and the queen played a few games. Chunxi had already cleaned the house and dismissed the eunuchs and maids.
"The place is ready, little doctor. You can start now." Chunxi bowed to Ruanruan.
The queen looked at Chunxi in confusion, only to see Zhao Chengqian beside her stand up, pick up the vase on the ground, and walk towards the yard next to her.
Ruanruan followed his pace, "Little brother."
The queen was curious about what they were going to do, so she stood up and followed them.
Zhao Chengqian placed the vase in the middle of the yard, walked over softly, and disappeared in front of Zhao Chengqian as soon as her hand touched the vase.
The queen held the door and looked at this scene, thinking she was dizzy. She staggered back a step. Chunxi supported her from behind. When she raised her eyes and looked at the yard again, there were many more things in the yard in an instant, and it was almost full.
“This…this…”
"Empress, the little doctor is a little fairy. She saved the Princess of Jin and the Crown Prince and others who were starving and freezing in Qingzhou. Qingzhou was suffering from hunger and cold, and it was the little fairy who helped the Prince of Jin to lead Qingzhou through the difficulties. And when the Northern Rong army besieged Qingzhou, it was the little fairy who helped to drive the Northern Rong army away." Chunxi said while supporting the Queen.
He was very excited when he said these words, as if he was conveying some kind of belief, and he was the most faithful believer.
The queen stood there in a daze for a long time, watching Zhao Chengqian open a bag full of large white rice grains.
"This...are these all food?" The queen pushed Chunxi away and walked tremblingly to Zhao Chengqian.
She picked up the rice grains in the bag, looked at them carefully, and put a few of them in her mouth. "It's really rice."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Chunxi said loudly.
The emperor walked in from outside, stood excitedly among a pile of things, and opened several bags containing rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and vegetables.
He swept his face around with unstoppable joy, and said to Xiao Qinmo behind him: "Send someone in to deliver the food to the imperial kitchen, and also distribute some to the other kitchens in the palace..."
With these grains, the palace can safely survive this famine period.
Xiao Qinmo walked in with his men, waved his hand, and asked them to move the things out.
