"See what my father is doing now? When he is alone in the study, tell me."
The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door came in one after another. Bai Chi simply washed up and prepared to eat.
As expected, there was only one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup tonight. Bai Chi did not mind and calmly finished eating by himself. Then he listened to the young eunuch report what happened after he went to bed.
The Queen took out money and reduced her food and clothing to provide disaster relief to the people. Although the money was not much, it set an example for the mother of a country to lead by example.
In just one afternoon, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and countless people praised her, saying that she was definitely the queen who cared most about the people since ancient times!
With Bai Chi's lead, many concubines in the harem followed suit and donated some silver and money, which they sent to Changchun Palace, saying that they would donate together with the Empress's money to the people affected by the snow disaster.
Bai Chi leaned lazily on the chaise longue and reached out to take the account book handed to him by the eunuch chief.
I don’t know if it’s because I slept with my man in my arms, but I feel so energetic now and don’t care whether it rains or snows.
The account book truthfully recorded the donations from concubines in each palace, some of whom even just brought over outdated jewelry.
Bai Chi took a quick look and handed the account book to the eunuch chief of Changchun Palace.
"Tomorrow, sell or pawn the things they sent, and write down every single thing clearly. Then, use the money to buy food and warm things. Don't wait for the imperial team, send them directly to the disaster area now."
The snowstorm happened yesterday. Bai Chi did not inquire about how the court provided disaster relief, but the original owner remembered that so many people died, which shows the severity and duration of this snowstorm.
He sent people to deliver the gifts now just to remind those officials in the court who had no worries about food and drink not to procrastinate and remember this matter only when things become serious.
The eunuch chief took the order, and Bai Chi asked the old nanny what happened after he fell asleep. There was nothing special, so he didn't ask any more questions.
I went out and walked under the eaves. It was still raining outside, but there were more snowflakes mixed in.
It's getting colder again.
It is a cold winter, very cold.
After a while, a young eunuch came to report that a concubine accidentally slipped when going out and had a miscarriage. The dog emperor went to visit her, but he would not come tonight.
Bai Chi looked at the unfamiliar little eunuch in front of him and nodded to indicate that he understood.
It would be better if the dog emperor was busy. It would be fine if he had more children. Don’t come to him too often. I’m too lazy to deal with him.
"Meow, Master, the Prime Minister is alone."
Bai Chi turned back and said, "I'm tired and want to rest for a while. You guys should stay out of here. Leave one person to keep watch, and the rest of you can go and rest. It's too cold, so everyone should keep warm."
Although it's strange that the Queen just woke up and wanted to sleep again?
But I am flattered by the Empress's thoughtfulness.
Bai Chi lay down on the bed, lowered the curtains, and the palace maids put a small heater in his quilt, closed the doors and windows, extinguished the candles, and went to the small compartment to rest.
Bai Chi prepared herself mentally for a whole cup of tea before quickly getting up from the bed, putting on a thick dress and a cloak in a few seconds, and then holding a small heater in each hand. Only then did she feel at ease.
In a flash, he was already in the Prime Minister's residence, under the eaves next to the study. It was only the evening hour, but it was already pitch dark.
As soon as he came out, Bai Chi shivered, and a warm current surged out from the crystal core in his chest and spread throughout his limbs and bones, which made his complexion look a little better.
But Bai Chi still dislikes the instinctive aversion to cold.
Then he quickly left the darkness. A cold wind blew, blowing rain mixed with snowflakes onto his face, making Bai Chi stick even closer to the wall.
The prime minister was the only one in the study, so Bai Chi didn't hesitate and pushed the door open and walked in.
The prime minister, who was reading the memorial, frowned and was about to scold when he looked up and saw that it was his daughter.
"Xiao Chi? Why did you leave the palace? Didn't your mother and aunt just come to the palace to see you during the day?"
Although he was surprised, the prime minister hurriedly stood up to close the door, even speaking in a low voice.
"It's a serious crime for a concubine to leave the palace without permission. How could you be so ignorant of the rules? Were you seen on the way here?"
"Don't worry, Dad. As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will find out that I'm back."
"Besides this, Dad, there is something you must prepare for early, otherwise our Feng family will be finished."
