What was originally low-key has become high-profile.
Even the court ministers knew about this.
Once someone asked King Kang why he did this, they would wonder if it was really because there was too much silver and it was too hot to handle as the emperor said.
King Kang’s unified answer was to do good deeds to accumulate blessings for his daughter.
He no longer mentioned the snowstorm or the nightmare.
The wind and snow, which had been gradually getting smaller, began to grow stronger after King Kang did these things, and even had a tendency to grow stronger.
Prince Kang's Palace.
Prince Kang and his wife, as well as Song Zixuan and Song Le'an, all gathered around the crib, looking at Song Jiujiu, whose face was red from fever, mumbling in her sleep, and crying from time to time.
"My sister has had a fever for several days. When will it go away?"
Song Le'an held his sister's hand lovingly.
He felt that his sister's originally chubby little hands had become much thinner.
"The court doctor said Jiuer's health is not good. She does have recurring fevers. She will be fine after a period of rest."
King Kang was also very worried. He originally told others that he was helping the people in order to accumulate blessings for his daughter, but that was just a cover.
But now that the news that his daughter had been suffering from repeated fever and illness for several days had spread, everyone understood why he wanted to do good deeds.
My daughter really needs to accumulate blessings since she is so sick.
Ye Peizhu looked at her daughter with heartache, because she was the only one who could hear her daughter's thoughts.
She was the only one who knew why her daughter had such recurring fevers.
It’s not so much that Jiuer is in poor health, but rather that it’s because Jiuer is too worried and anxious that such a small body suffers from repeated fevers and illnesses.
My daughter was too worried that what happened in her dream would come true.
"Your Highness, Princess, two young masters, the General's wife is here."
Qiuyun came in to report.
"My mother is here? Let my mother in quickly."
Ye Peizhu gave orders quickly.
Ye Fang dispersed the cold air outside before rushing in.
"Prince, Zhu'er, Zixian, An'er, I heard that Jiubao has been having a recurring fever these past few days, is that correct?"
As Ye Fang spoke, she also saw the baby lying in the crib with a red face, obviously uncomfortable.
"Mom, this is my fault. If I hadn't accidentally let Jiuer get caught in the cold wind, she wouldn't have had a fever so often."
When Ye Peizhu mentioned this, her eyes dimmed.
Even though Jiuer was overly worried, she had a fever in the beginning because of the cold wind.
"Ma'am, this is not your fault."
Prince Kang comforted Ye Peizhu.
Ye Fang sighed inwardly, "Your Highness, I heard from people outside that you've been helping the people of the outer city withstand the cold winter these days. Some people also said that you mentioned that there would be a snowstorm soon, is that correct?"
Prince Kang nodded and said, "Yes, my mother-in-law should have felt it too. The wind and snow have been getting stronger these past two days, and the moat has begun to freeze.
In a short while, I’m afraid that the entire capital city will be trapped in the capital due to the snowstorm.”
"You're right, I think the snow this year is a little different from previous years.
If a snowstorm really comes, even if we are trapped in the capital, as long as we have enough food and charcoal and work hard to get through it, we will not be afraid of not being able to survive the snowstorm!
There aren't many people in the general's mansion now, and there's still a lot of food stored. We can't finish it even before the New Year.
I want to take out a portion and distribute it to the people in the outer city, as a way to accumulate blessings for Jiubao."
Ye Fang told her purpose of coming.
Prince Kang didn't expect that his mother-in-law also had such a plan, but it was also a good thing. The General's Mansion contributed a lot. When the snow disaster came, the people would remember the good things of Prince Kang's Mansion and the General's Mansion. It would be beneficial to Jiuer.
"Okay, I'll thank my mother-in-law on behalf of Jiuer."
"You're welcome. Jiubao is my only granddaughter. I just hope that the blessings we have accumulated for Jiubao will help her get better soon."
........
Ye Fang never mentioned this decision to anyone in the general's mansion.
After all, she is the boss in the general's mansion now.
She didn't need to ask for anyone's thoughts or opinions.
When she returned to the general's mansion, she immediately asked the housekeeper and the servants to count all the grain stored in the mansion.
Enough food was left for everyone in the mansion to last until the New Year, and the rest was given to the people in the outer city!
After the housekeeper and the servants knew Ye Fang's plan, they all flattered her and praised her for her kind heart.
"Don't flatter me. I'm just trying to bring good fortune to my poor granddaughter."
"Mother, are you going to give away all this food to the people in the outer city for free?"
Ye Shuxun came over from his yard and heard what the servants said, and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, giving food to the people in the outer city is just a side job. The most important thing is that I want to accumulate blessings for Jiubao."
Ye Fang now dislikes her fake son Ye Shuxun more and more, and gets angry when she sees his stingy look.
"Do I have to send food to accumulate merit for my little niece? Will it really work?
It would be better for us to keep the food for ourselves and then go to the temple in a couple of days to burn incense and pray to the Buddha to bless our little niece to recover her health as soon as possible.
Giving it away for free to the people in the outer city would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, and it would never come back. They wouldn't know how to be grateful, and they might even think that the food we gave them was not enough."
Ye Shuxun curled his lips and complained in disgust.
"My dear brother, my mother gave food to the people in the outer city. This is charity, and it is also a way to accumulate merit.
And if these foods were given to the people, it would save their lives and prevent them from starving to death.
Then you will receive more blessings.
You can go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha at any time, but the opportunity to donate food to the people and help them through the cold winter is not always available."
Ye Shuli, who came over to take a look after hearing the noise, couldn't help but retort after hearing what Ye Shuxun said.
When he finished speaking, he saw Ye Shuxun staring at him with a cold face, and his stepmother beside him was also looking at him with a complicated expression.
Ye Shuli was a little flustered, and stammered, "Mother, did I say something wrong?"
"No, you are right, and what you said is exactly what I wanted to say."
As the mistress of the general's mansion, Ye Fang knew that she could not treat the son of a concubine as her own.
She was afraid that when he saw Ye Shuli, the son born to a concubine, he would be reminded of her husband's betrayal and get angry, so she simply waived the rule of having the illegitimate son pay his respects to her.
So even though she and Ye Shuli lived under the same roof over the years, they had very few opportunities to meet.
It can be said that the only night a year that Ye Shuli can be seen is New Year's Eve.
Ye Fang looked at Ye Shuli, who was tall but thin, and her clothes were so thin that they didn't look like clothes for winter. She couldn't help but frown.
"My General's Mansion, are you eating less and wearing less? You are the same age as Xun'er. Look at him, he is stronger than a bear, while you are as thin as a chick.
And what's wrong with your clothes? Did the servants in the mansion deduct them from you?"
