This prince is the third son, named Junyan, with the courtesy name Lezhi. His title is Chen. He currently resides in Tingzhou, the land bestowed upon him by his fiefdom.
What is your name? Whose family are you from? Why are you outside my window? And why are you dressed like this?
Sang Jueqian was very surprised to hear what Li Junyan said.
The Great Zhou Dynasty?
Thirty years of Wan Dao?
What dynasty and reign title is this?
How come she had never heard of it?
So the prince outside the window should exist in a dynasty in a parallel universe?
These thoughts flashed through Sang Jueqian's mind, and she did not forget to answer Li Junyan's questions.
"My name is Sang Jueqian, and I'm from Long Country. We have freedom of dress here, and I can wear whatever I want."
Li Junyan frowned and pursed his lips, but did not criticize Sang Jueqian's dress again.
Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Sang Jueqian felt a little better about him.
Although he was an ancient man, he was not pedantic and knew how to respect other people's living habits.
The two were looking at each other in silence when Xu San came back.
Xu San didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in, his face full of anxiety.
"Your Highness, many people have come to the palace and are kneeling outside, begging Your Highness for water and food, otherwise they will kneel and die outside the palace.
On our way here, we encountered assassinations one after another, and the food and fodder we brought with us was lost and scattered, leaving us with very little. When we arrived in Tingzhou, even you, Your Highness, couldn't get a sip of clean water, so how could we provide them with food and water?
Your Majesty, shall I take someone to get them out?"
Hearing this, Sang Jueqian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xu San's words sound nice, like he wants to get rid of them, but how can he possibly get rid of them if they don't have anything to eat or drink? Is he trying to kick them out?
But this Prince Chen is really miserable.
Not only is he starving, but he seems to have been poisoned? He has just arrived at his fiefdom and is being oppressed by the people.
I'm so unlucky, could I get a toothache even when drinking cold water?
"Go and see how much dry food we have left and share it with them."
When Li Junyan said this, Sang Jueqian was shocked, but Xu San was completely panicked.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!"
Xu San was eight feet tall and strong, but at this moment his eyes were red and his voice was choked.
"Your Highness, although the current situation is unfavorable, you cannot let this lead to your own death!"
"Who told you that I have the will to die?"
Xu San's eyes welled with tears. "The prince asked his subordinates to divide up all the dry food. What will the prince eat in the future? Isn't this a death wish?"
Tingzhou suffered a severe drought for three years. The crops failed, most of the trees in the mountains died, and even only one in ten wild animals survived..."
Li Junyan pinched his brows and interrupted Xu San, "First, divide the dry food, take the gold and silver, and go buy some as fast as you can. As long as you are fast enough, I will not starve to death."
