When Lin Yue returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, Bai Changshi excitedly came forward to greet her and reported everything that had happened in the mansion in recent days.
He added, "The prince has returned first and has already gone to inspect various places. Princess, you can take a rest."
Lin Yue said, "Is there anything he's not having trouble adapting to after coming back?"
Bai Changshi said, "The servants have long been dissatisfied with Nanny Wang's behavior. Furthermore, after Su was expelled, the Emperor issued another decree. The servants, fearing they would wrong the Crown Prince, all served him with extreme care. The Crown Prince remained unfazed by praise or criticism, and simply let them do their own duties. It didn't seem to make any difference."
"Even the guards that the prince brought with him were usually good friends with him, so they should be able to adapt."
After hearing this, Lin Yue said with satisfaction: "That's fine."
"Besides, we also need to go for a walk in the streets. Send a few guards to follow us in disguise, but don't make it too obvious."
Bai Changshi immediately said, "I understand. Please wait a moment, Princess."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the eldest princess came to Lin Yue and asked, "Auntie, where are we going later?"
Lin Yue said, "Go where there are many people. Focus on what the people need. We can't control things like food and clothing, but we should check whether the market is spacious enough, whether the carriages and horses will hurt people, whether the wooden bridge is sturdy enough, and so on."
"When there are too many people, bridges collapse due to the crowding, or vehicles and horses pass through the busy streets, injuring innocent people, etc."
"There are also some seeds, but you don't have to worry about them. I'll just take a look."
Zou Yuer whispered, "Just observe carefully and see if we can help them improve their lives at the source."
Lin Yue's eyes lit up and she gave her a thumbs up.
Zou Yuer blushed and whispered, "When I was a kid, I went out with my father and got run over by a carriage. It took three months to heal."
"The street wasn't considered a market at the time. It was right next to the market, and we couldn't avoid it because we were rushing so fast."
"In short, there are still many cases of carriages injuring people. It happens every day."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess immediately said, "Aren't there official streets for them to walk on?"
"You are not allowed to set up stalls and sell goods on the official street."
Lin Yue said, "Not everyone follows the rules. The streets in the market are already crowded enough. Not to mention cars, even if two sedan chairs meet, they have to give way."
"But the carriage is in the crowd. If there's chaos, it will be terrible."
After hearing this, the eldest princess said angrily, "Then let the people from the Five Cities Military Department come out to rectify the situation. I want to see who dares to ignore the ban."
Lin Yue said: "The problem is that there is no ban on horse-drawn carriages passing through the market, because many merchants rely on horse-drawn carriages to transport goods."
Zou Yuer nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the carriage that injured me was specially used to carry ice."
The eldest princess asked, "What should we do? Should we widen the market road again?"
"That would be harder, wouldn't it?"
Lin Yue said: "It is difficult, so we need to conduct an on-site investigation before finding a solution."
"Anyway, we are doing good deeds to accumulate merits. We can't be impatient. We should take our time."
When the eldest princess heard this, she immediately became motivated again.
She took Lin Yue's arm and asked curiously, "Aunt Huang, what would have happened if we hadn't met you?"
"Will Liang Jie, who said he liked me, really have his whole family killed?"
Lin Yue looked at her. The princess was smiling, her eyes bright, her face fair and rosy, looking really harmless.
But who knows, if one node is wrong, the whole system will collapse.
She pinched the princess's cheek and said, "It's not just Liang Jie."
"You will die the same way as you did in the plot?"
"The most I can do is collect your bodies for the sake of our family!"
The eldest princess: “…” She swallowed nervously.
Zou Yuer: "..." She looked at her intact legs silently, and then told Xiao Huaice that she was a dog.
…
The bustling market seemed difficult to move around because of the crowded stalls.
In fact, there are some shops on both sides of the street. There is a roof under the shops to keep out the rain. As you walk along, you will see that most of the people coming and going are dignitaries, and there are usually servants guarding the doors of the shops.
If someone carrying a load tried to walk along it, he would be chased down, making the market seem even more crowded.
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly arrived, and there was a chaotic commotion, with pedestrians not even having a place to step.
The eldest princess had never seen such a situation before, and she was so scared that she huddled behind Lin Yue. Zou Yu'er, who usually looked weak, was able to stand on her own at this moment, and took the initiative to hold the eldest princess's hand to protect her from being squeezed.
Lin Yue noticed that most of the people coming from the countryside were selling fruits and vegetables, but there were also many selling herbs and charcoal.
But it's rare to see people selling grain. In ancient times, grain production was low and taxes had to be paid. Even if there was any, it had to be saved for the winter, when grain prices were higher. Now it's summer, and the fields are full of fruits and vegetables. Even if there's no grain, people won't starve, and life is still manageable.
Lin Yue wanted to buy some seeds to study, but she didn't have any coins, so she couldn't do it.
At this moment, someone suddenly appeared and pulled her, and Lin Yue was startled.
When I looked up, I saw my eldest brother's naturally bright and smiling face, and he said happily: "Little sister, why are you here?"
He automatically ignored the eldest princess and Zou Yuer, thinking that they were just Lin Yue's maids, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
When the eldest princess and Zou Yuer heard that it was Lin Yue’s elder brother, they did not dare to act rashly and waited obediently.
Lin Yue was surprised and asked, "Brother, why are you here? Don't you have to go to court today?"
Lin Xinxin said: "I left the court a long time ago, but I am still working now."
