Finally, under the intimidating gaze of the Queen, the Emperor gradually shut his mouth.
The eldest princess also felt that she had said something wrong and ran away feeling guilty.
Then everyone dispersed and went back to their respective duties.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the twelfth lunar month. Xiao Jingyun and his troops were halfway there and would be able to return to the capital after the New Year.
Because the army returned home, it meant that many families could look forward to the return of their sons, husbands, fathers, etc., and the New Year was naturally a joyous occasion.
Xiao Huaice and Zou Yuer took inventory of the imperial pharmacy in the palace and learned that some medicinal materials had been stored for a year. New ones would be tributed from various places next year, and the old ones would have to be thrown away.
He asked the imperial physician to make some simple and easy-to-store pills, including those for reducing fever, treating diarrhea, and treating colds, and distributed them on the streets.
The eldest princess took Lin Yue to see. From a distance, they saw that the queue of people occupied two streets.
At the same time, news came from Lin Yue’s system that the amount of merit had accumulated and had exceeded 40 million.
And it’s a combination of 200,000 and 300,000.
Just when she was at a loss, she heard the voices of the people around her talking.
"Prince Ding's Mansion is so kind! They've given us medicine again."
"Isn't it? We used to distribute rice, and I took that rice home. My daughter-in-law said it was better than the rice she bought."
"Hey, that's for the imperial palace, how could it be bad?"
"Yes, they distributed cotton before, but you missed out. Look at my cotton-padded jacket, it's so warm. It's made from the cotton we received."
"But you have to go early, sometimes in the West Market, sometimes in the East Market. Otherwise, how can you call it a charity? I'm also worried that all the money will be taken away by people in one place, and there will be nothing left in other places."
"Not only that, didn't we hear a child froze to death two days ago? The next day, the government sent people to register every household. Anyone who didn't have a winter jacket could go to the government and get one. It didn't matter if they were men or women, young or old."
"Prince Ding is away at war and will be back soon. Princess Ding is leading the government to do charity work. I really hope they can be reunited soon."
"Yes, yes, good things will happen to good people. They will definitely be reunited. It would be best if they had a few more big fat boys."
"Hahahaha...that's right."
…
It doesn’t matter if she has a few more fat boys, but it won’t affect her feelings.
Lin Yue looked at their backs as they walked away together. Another wave of ordinary people walked past her, their eyes full of longing and yearning for a happy life.
At this time, even she knew that this was just a city.
But she understood that as long as the rulers were willing to consider the people of the world, the days of the Great Wei Kingdom would definitely get better and better.
The eldest princess happily grabbed a handful of hot sugar-roasted chestnuts and gave them to Lin Yue, saying, "How is it? Are you shocked?"
"More than that? There are many more."
"Now, the office supplies for officials in the six ministries are under the management of my second sister and me."
"We've sold the princess's mansion, and we'll buy them whatever they need. We'll make two sets of official uniforms for one season, and four sets for the other four seasons. We'll also give them pens, inkstones, and paper."
"If you're going on a long errand, you can stay at the post station. The horses are government-owned. If it's dangerous, you'll have guards to protect you."
"The six ministries are so united! Several ministers have had their day off, but they can't rest. They want to walk around the duty room. They say it's warm there, and the charcoal they use is better than at home."
"We can't supply them with charcoal this year. We can't buy in bulk. The roads are slippery in the snow, and charcoal burners all live in the mountains. We can only sell two trucks every two weeks. If we can't supply them, we will have to work day and night, which is prone to accidents."
"If we just wait until next autumn and raise the price of coal, they will stock up in advance, and everyone will have an easier time."
Lin Yue gave the eldest princess a thumbs-up and said with satisfaction, "This is truly good. It's not just about accumulating merit, but more about serving the people."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's nothing. In fact, once we actually did it, we found it wasn't difficult. The people were also very grateful, so the merits naturally accumulated."
"The more I want to do, the deeper and farther I see things. Then I realize that merit and virtue are no longer important. What's important is that they truly live well. That's more important than anything else."
Lin Yue sighed, her eyes a little moist.
She felt that the royal family no longer needed her. They already knew their responsibilities and burdens, and they were all doing a good job.
She is like someone who sows seeds, just waiting to harvest.
So while she was eating chestnuts, she was thinking: [Is it still possible to cultivate immortality?]
【Shouldn't it be necessary?】
[Everyone is living such a peaceful and happy life, why would we still need to cultivate immortality? ]
[How about waiting for Xiao Jingyun to come back, accumulating merit, and then leaving? ]
The eldest princess, who had just received praise and was feeling smug, said: "..."
The smile on her lips froze, and she revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
She wants to be a fairy!!! She wants to be immortal, forever beautiful, and even find a little fairy to live with!!!
Wuuwuwuwu…
Lin Yue was about to ask her what was wrong? Why did she suddenly look so miserable?
The eldest princess saw two familiar yet suspicious people and immediately said, "Auntie, I'm dazzled. Can you help me see who the two people are in the noodle shop across the street?"
Lin Yue looked up and said curiously: "Isn't that Changning and..."
"Who's that person next to you?"
"He looks like a strange man?"
The eldest princess said angrily, "It's General Wu Wei's son, Wu Sheng, the man you said I would kill his entire family."
Lin Yue: "..."
The next second, she saw the eldest princess rush over decisively.
