The servants in the palace are in this situation, let alone the ordinary people outside.

Xiaohong also sat in the corner.

Xiaohong was holding a small bowl with quite a bit of rice in it.

After all, working in the kitchen is hard work, and one cannot walk without rice.

Qian Ruoyu was even more clear in her mind that being able to eat rice was already a great achievement.

Ordinary families may not even have enough rice to eat.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu didn't say much, but returned to his Yueya Pavilion.

Qian Ruoyu had just returned and spoke a few words to Yan'er, who then looked at her in shock.

"ah!"

"My Lady, you...you said you want to improve the food!?"

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.

On the way back, Qian Ruoyu was thinking about this matter.

After all, they were servants in the palace, and the food they received was not good enough.

At this time, Yan'er was holding a bowl of rice, eating while listening to Qian Ruoyu's words.

There were still two grains of rice hanging from the corners of her mouth, and there were three dishes and a soup on the table. After all, Yueya Pavilion was Qian Ruoyu's place, so the food was naturally not bad.

Among the three bowls of dishes on the table, two were meat, and the remaining one was a serving of fried leeks, which were something that ordinary people could eat.

Yan'er was able to eat such good meals only because of Qian Ruoyu's maid.

After saying those words in shock, Yan'er quickly brought another bowl of rice to Qian Ruoyu.

"Your Majesty, please eat first... What do you think about improving the food?"

Qian Ruoyu said while eating.

"Forget it, it's nothing... Tomorrow morning before 1:15 AM, you must follow me to the back door of the palace. There are some things I need to instruct you to do."

Yan'er nodded quickly after hearing this.

She was not spoiled. She had followed Qian Ruoyu since she was a child. Qian Ruoyu used to be cruel and inhumane and had a very bad reputation.

Even so, Yan'er still sticks close to Qian Ruoyu and is one of the most loyal friends in Qian Ruoyu's life.

It is precisely because of this that Yan'er is not only able to endure hardships and hard work, but also the person who deserves Qian Ruoyu's most trust.

Listening to Qian Ruoyu say this, Yan'er nodded silently.

Early the next morning, before the hour of Mao, Yan'er had already gotten up.

Yan'er came to Qian Ruoyu's bed and whispered softly.

"My queen...my queen, wake up..."

After struggling for almost an incense stick of time, Qian Ruoyu hurriedly followed Yan'er to the back door of the palace.

Qian Ruoyu kept yawning along the way, but Yan'er was already in high spirits.

When I arrived at the door, I saw Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang already waiting for Qian Ruoyu at the back door.

"Hello, Madam!"

The two said in unison.

When he saw these two people, Qian Ruoyu suddenly became energetic.

I immediately realized that it was time to get serious and I couldn't continue to be sleepy.

Qian Ruoyu cheered up, and now the two of them said.

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would be able to come so early... Your Majesty, let's go over there and buy some vegetables now."

Sparse hawking sounds were already heard, and just as the two were about to take the lead, Qian Ruoyu stopped them.

"etc."

"Since this is my first visit here, I need to take my maid to have a look. You guys just stand by the back door and wait."

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Zhang Ma and Wang Po immediately stood still.

Qian Ruoyu also hurriedly took Yan'er out.

Yan'er said.

"My queen, if we have Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang with us, we won't suffer any loss. Those vegetable vendors might want to rip us off at a high price..."

Qian Ruoyu smiled, however, this kind of thing must not be known to Aunt Zhang and Grandma Wang.

Otherwise, how can you save money from it?

This is Qian Ruoyu’s way of saving money!

After walking a few steps, the sounds of hawking were getting closer and closer, and suddenly more than a dozen small stalls appeared in front of me. Several kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons were placed on each stall, and there was an endless stream of people hawking their wares. The whole place looked extremely lively.

It turns out that in addition to selling vegetables to the palace, people from other palaces nearby would also come here to buy.

The Night Prince's Palace is located in the southwest corner of the capital, and this place is also the richest and most noble place in the entire capital.

In addition to Prince Ye's Palace located here, there are other princes' palaces and the residences of high-ranking officials in the capital city in these three streets and six alleys.

It can be said to be the most valuable place in the entire capital city besides the imperial palace.

Most of the people who come here to buy vegetables are around the same age as Wang Po and Zhang Ma. Although they look simple, their eyes reveal a shrewd look.

The reason why Qian Ruoyu didn't bring Zhang Ma and Wang Po here was because with these people here, she would not be at a disadvantage.

Seeing a stall selling leeks, Qian Ruoyu hurried over because there were two people standing next to the stall.

"One pound for one penny, one pound for one penny, come and buy it now while it's cheap."

The stall owner was an old lady who looked to be around sixty years old, which was considered a long life in this day and age.

On her stall, there were some leeks piled up, which looked like they weighed several dozen kilograms.

Qian Ruoyu looked at the old lady's outfit and felt that she didn't look like someone who usually farmed in the fields. So where did the chives come from?

Qian Ruoyu didn't say anything, and then saw two people in front of the stall each buying more than ten kilograms of leeks and taking them home.

After the old lady greeted the two of them, she spoke to Qian Ruoyu.

"May I ask if this lady needs anything?"

Then he looked Qian Ruoyu up and down and said in confusion.

"Excuse me, young lady, which family are you from? I have been selling vegetables here for several years, but I have never seen you before."

As expected, she was not a poor person. Qian Ruoyu concluded at first sight that this old lady might be a businessman.

Yan'er on the side spoke up.

"My queen is the queen of the Night Prince's Palace!"

As soon as Yan'er opened her mouth, the old lady looked at Qian Ruoyu with some surprise, and then quickly lowered her head.

"Meet the princess!"

"This, in the past, it was the servants of the palace who came here. How come today, Your Highness, you came here in person..."

Qian Ruoyu said simply.

"Nothing, I just came to take a look. You are not a vegetable farmer, but you are able to sell vegetables here. How come?"

Seeing Qian Ruoyu speaking in a gentle manner, the old lady immediately started talking as well.

"Oh, Madam, you don't know that this is a piece of land specially set aside by the government for people like us to sell vegetables and fruits here."

"But the government also said that only good vegetables and fruits can be sold here. After all, the people living here are all dignitaries! Don't you agree?"
