"Hehehe, it's boring sitting in the carriage, why don't we play cards!" Concubine Liang pulled out a deck of cards from her luggage.
Empress Xian and others: Awesome.
You are worthy of it.
Dong'er and Qiuxiang also came and sat in the carriage behind them. Dong'er heard the queen's hearty laughter coming from the carriage in front, and she held her forehead helplessly.
"Excuse me, excuse me, my queen is not like this usually."
Qiuxiang: ...
Qiu Xiang raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder, "I understand!"
"Dong'er, I brought some snacks, do you want some?"
"Eat!" Dong'er also took out a box of snacks from her belongings, "I brought some too!"
“Speaking of which, this time, while the ladies are out and about, we can also relax.”
Qiuxiang nodded, "Dong'er, you don't have to worry about Concubine Liang. With Concubine Xian here, nothing will happen."
"Outside, no one knows they are empresses."
Dong'er thought about it and realized it was right, so she relaxed.
Whenever she heard the laughter coming from the carriage in front from time to time, her heart would tighten reflexively, and she would open her mouth to persuade Concubine Liang to laugh more quietly, for fear of being seen by others.
Thinking that he was now outside the palace, he let out a long sigh.
Qiuxiang looked at her like this and chuckled, "Dong'er, why do you seem so worried?"
"Relax, relax!"
"Anyway, we don't have to serve the Empress right now. Why don't we take a nap?"
"If you fall asleep, you won't worry."
Dong'er thought the same thing and said, "Then let's take a nap."
I have to serve the Empress and the others later.
The carriage was a place where one could lie down, so the two men took out the hidden panel inside, lay down on it, looked at each other, and closed their eyes. They thought it would be difficult to fall asleep, but unexpectedly, they fell asleep in no time.
Concubine Liang and a few others were still playing cards. Halfway through the game, Concubine Liang took out various cakes and a pot of sake from the secret compartment of the carriage.
Empress Xian and others were amazed.
Concubine Liang, "Hehehe, Dong'er helped me put it in yesterday."
Anyway, there were only a few carriages in the palace, so she asked Dong'er to let it in in advance. If they needed a carriage today, she would give it to them.
Empress Xian curved her eyebrows and said, "Sister is really considerate."
"With my sister here, we don't have to worry about going hungry."
"Don't worry!" Concubine Liang patted her chest, "With me here, you won't starve!"
"I brought a lot of banknotes!"
No matter who you are, you will never let them die of starvation!
The carriage left the capital of Yuan State and arrived at a small town next to Yuan State. Concubine Liang lifted the curtain to take a look and said, "How about we go down and take a walk?"
"Good idea." Concubine Xian and the other two had the same idea. They found an inn, and as soon as they got off the carriage, Concubine Liang ran to Dong'er's carriage, "Dong'er... Hey, are you asleep?"
"This little girl stayed with me all night last night and didn't sleep."
Concubine Liang muttered, "Let them continue to sleep!"
"Sister, we can't carry them either. Why don't we let the guards watch them here?"
Concubine Liang looked at Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian leaned over to take a look and saw that they were sleeping soundly.
"Well, let them sleep in the carriage!"
Empress Xian looked at the guards beside her and said, "Protect them well."
"yes."
The guard responded and stood straight.
Concubine Xian and the others went out for a walk first. Besides the two of them, there were also a lot of Concubine Liang's luggage, and they had to keep a close eye on them.
Empress Xian and the others all wore veils as they walked along the street. Whenever they saw something they liked, they would buy it. However, since Dong'er and Qiuxiang were not with them, they had to carry the items themselves.
"Oh, I didn't have to carry them myself before. I didn't realize that these things look small, but they are quite heavy to carry."
Concubine Liang looked at the two guards following behind her and asked, "Can you help me lift it?"
The guards hurried forward and took the things from their hands.
Concubine Liang was worried that the two of them were not enough, so she went to a nearby shop and rented a few strong young men to help them carry things.
In this way, they can enjoy shopping to their heart's content.
"Give me something to eat, give me something to eat..." Suddenly, a person wearing patched clothes appeared among the well-dressed people. The woman had loose hair and smelled bad. She was holding a broken bowl in her hand and begging tremblingly.
A kindhearted person threw a steamed bun in, and she thanked him profusely, "Thank you, sir, thank you, miss!"
Empress Xian looked at this scene with a frown on her face.
She bought some meat buns and put them in her bowl, and she thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am!"
Empress Xian asked her, "Where are you from?"
"Why did you wander here?"
"Madam, I am from Caoyang County. One day, the ground in Caoyang County suddenly cracked, and many people died. All the food in the fields was gone."
"I just came here begging all the way from Caoyang County."
Caoyang County?
Empress Xian had no impression of this place, so she guessed it was quite far away.
"Your local county magistrate doesn't care about this matter?"
The woman smiled bitterly, "The county magistrate wanted to intervene, but he's dead."
"He was killed by a roof beam."
Empress Xian: ...
"Then you didn't go to the prefect?"
"We've found it." The woman lowered her eyes. "The prefect said he's reported it. That's all they can do for us."
"There were too many refugees and we couldn't take them in, so we were told to find a way out on our own."
Empress Xian: Have you reported it?
She didn't believe it. If she reported it, His Majesty would definitely not ignore it.
