Chapter 56: Carrying Purple Qi



"When we get to the Wei residence, Sheng'er, you won't have to sit in a wheelchair anymore, and Nannan will be able to speak."

Yuan Nan'an's eyes lit up and he jumped up from his seat: "Mom, I don't have to pretend to be dumb anymore?"

Yuan Zhao nodded, and Yuan Zhizhi clapped happily in Yuan Zhao's arms.

"Then how do we explain it?" Yuan Nanan was a little worried.

Yuan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No explanation needed!"

It was not until he saw the carriage enter Yangzhou City with his own eyes that the riders on horseback a hundred meters outside the city turned their horses around and headed north towards the capital.

Although the snow has stopped, the north wind is still blowing.

Mo Yu, wearing a bamboo hat and a cloak, couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the general just say he would send His Highness back to the city?"

Instead, you should pretend to leave first, then turn back and silently see them off.

Although the princess is already married, she is an old acquaintance of the general, so there should be nothing wrong with her escorting him.

Huo Yan rode on his horse and did not answer.

If he said it, she would definitely refuse.

"After returning to the capital, have Mo Xue and Mo Feng come to Yangzhou, but they must obey His Highness's orders."

Mo Yu was stunned when he heard this. Mo Xue and Mo Feng had been following the general since they were young. Are they all going to be given to His Highness?

Huo Yan turned around again and glanced at the distant Yangzhou City.

It's not that he didn't want to take her away, but he also knew that she had a plan in mind.

It won't be long.

Compared to ten years, this little wait is nothing.

Since Wei Shaoqing doesn't know how to cherish him, he will send him off.

As soon as Yuan Zhao's carriage returned to the city, someone delivered the news to Xingyu Lane and Songyan Hall.

As soon as he got off the car, Yuan Zhao saw Nanny Cui and several maids guarding the gate.

Seeing her get off the car, Aunt Cui came forward and said, "Madam, the old lady asked you to go to Songyan Hall when you come back."

Yuan Zhao just glanced at her lightly without answering.

Nanny Cui was standing in front of her, and Biyun gently pulled her aside with her hand.

With a cry of "Ouch", Yuan Zhao continued walking towards the door and called out "Gan Tang".

Gan Tang agreed and clapped his hands, and then several maids from Fengqiyuan came out one after another carrying large pots.

Seeing the princess coming back, some people doing business at the door and passers-by who were watching the excitement stopped when they saw such a scene.

Aunt Cui took a curious look and saw that the big pot was full of round white rice.

There were also servants constantly carrying out bags of rice. Nanny Cui recognized them as the fine rice and flour that the mansion had bought a few days ago!

Before she could ask, Gan Tang said loudly at the door:

"Dear fellow villagers, Her Highness the Princess has returned from her Buddhist pilgrimage. The heavy snow has now stopped. To express gratitude for the Buddha's miraculous presence, Her Highness is distributing porridge for three days in front of the Wei Mansion to help the refugees in the city. Please spread the word..."

Give out porridge for three days?

Such a good thing?

You know, the harvest cost was not good last year, and then there was a snow disaster. The price of rice has been rising continuously in the past few months. It is really scarce, and many people can't eat.

Now the princess is willing to donate her own rice to provide porridge. How kind of her!

But Aunt Cui's face turned pale.

If they give out porridge for three days, wouldn't all the food in the Wei Mansion be eaten up?

The rice and flour of the Wei Mansion were all bought from rice merchants for the sake of the Wei Mansion's reputation.

But the warehouse was stolen years ago, and the Wei family has been stretched to the limit for a long time. Now this rice is a treasure to the Wei family!

"Madam! What are you doing?"

Aunt Cui was horrified and screamed out unconsciously.

Everyone focused their attention on her.

Seeing her like this, a brave passerby couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, this old servant in your house doesn't seem to be very willing..."

"The princess wants to give out porridge, but why does this servant look so reluctant? Do you want to eat her rice?"

"I guess it's someone close to Old Lady Wei. I heard that Old Lady Wei originally came from a poor family, but now that she's rich, she has no sympathy at all..."

"Tsk, the Wei Mansion is truly unworthy of the princess's generosity. Look at the princess, she's worshipping Buddha and distributing porridge. His Majesty and the Crown Prince are so kindhearted. The princess is truly worthy of being a member of the royal family!"

Many people were whispering. Yuan Zhao gave a look and Gan Tang stepped forward and slapped Aunt Cui several times.

"I didn't know that Madam Cui could be my master?"
