Lord Liang originally intended to arrange accommodations for Princess Zhenguo, but upon seeing that Qiao Lian'er had already left and disappeared into the vast night, he realized that she was not yet ready to leave.
His heart skipped a beat again. Had Princess Zhenguo run away again? Earlier, Princess Zhenguo said she was going to the outhouse, but she was nowhere to be seen for a long time. When she finally reappeared, she ordered everyone to dig a canal to divert water.
"This—" Lord Zhu was a little guilty: "Lord Liang, don't you think that Princess Zhenguo is a bit strange, completely unpredictable?"
"Whether it's strange or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that you must not break the promises you made, or the people will start rioting again tomorrow," Lord Liang sighed.
The relationship between him and Lord Zhu wasn't necessarily one of life-or-death enmity; they were simply forced into it by reality.
Late at night, Qiao Lian'er took advantage of the darkness to find a suitable underground river for Tai County.
After finishing this task, it was already past four in the morning, so she went to the time difference space for a good night's sleep.
Then they arrived at the place where the people had gathered and prepared a large amount of food.
As dawn broke, several people eagerly came to see what was happening.
When they saw the large bags of white rice, the mountain of pork ribs, the countless rows of pork belly, as well as dried bamboo shoots and pickled kimchi, their eyes widened and their bodies froze on the spot.
This is a situation they never dared to dream of.
A figure stood among the piles of ingredients, counting them, and only stopped when he felt it was enough.
It was Princess Zhenguo.
"Your Highness, Princess—is this prepared for us?" a commoner asked tentatively.
"Yes, I mentioned it yesterday. But I didn't prepare any pots, pans, bowls, or chopsticks. You can go home and get these things, then light the stove and start a fire."
Qiao Lian'er's ordinary tone stirred up great excitement in the hearts of the people.
"My God, Princess Zhenguo really fed us white rice and meat dishes. She's a living Bodhisattva!"
The villagers ran back to their villages to share the good news with their neighbors.
Before long, people carrying pots, pans, and firewood rushed toward the place, shouting excitedly as they ran.
They all knelt down at Qiao Lian'er's feet, kowtowing repeatedly, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces.
Qiao Lian'er didn't want to suffer any of this, and said coldly, "Everyone, get up quickly. We still have work to do after we've eaten. Don't delay."
This is the outskirts of the county seat, and Lord Liang rushed over after receiving the news.
Seeing such a sumptuous feast, Lord Liang was speechless for a long time. He had already prepared for Princess Zhenguo to run away again last night.
What Princess Zhenguo brought out far exceeded his expectations.
This, to some extent, proves the credibility of the Princess Zhenguo.
As dawn broke, many people from Tai County arrived. When they saw the mountain of food, their eyes gleamed like hungry wolves, and they all offered to help.
Lord Liang and Lord Zhu also quickly prepared the manpower of the county government.
The hearty breakfast left the people with satisfied expressions; even though their stomachs were full, they still wanted more, and their lips were practically numb from licking their lips.
I really want to kowtow a hundred times to the Princess Zhenguo.
Lord Liang stepped forward and asked, "Princess Zhenguo, everyone has prepared their tools. Shall we begin digging the river channel now?"
