Chapter 53: Work-for-Relief



Wen Han tried the strength with his whole body and drank the milk tea in front of him carefully.

The whole person looks extremely comfortable.

Xiao Zhang seemed to be able to still feel the little feet dangling under the pink quilt.

How can it be so cute?!

My heart can’t take it at all!

"Your Majesty, this is truly delicious! I've never tasted anything so novel!!"

Xiao Zhang rubbed Wen Han's head, then looked at Wen Han in front of him and said with a smile: "Your little brain can't think of so many things, so don't think about so many things, it's overloaded! What do I keep so many ministers for? Just concentrate on enjoying your milk tea!"

"Are they all a bunch of good-for-nothings?"

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in front of him and couldn't help laughing.

"My dear, these things really don't need to consume your already limited brain capacity."

The topic was brought back again, and Wen Han still looked a little worried.

Every year, many people freeze to death.

Even at the feet of the emperor, there are so many of them. It is hard to imagine those places where the emperor is far away.

Not to mention.

Those who were still breathing even if they were not frozen to death.

The whole person exudes a decadent temperament, his eyes are dull, his face is pale and thin, and the blood vessels under his skin are clearly visible.

It should not be said in other words that the blood vessels under the skin are clearly visible, because there is no flesh, only a layer of skin hanging on top.

The horrible purple frostbite visible on the hands.

Wen Han witnessed many unimaginable scenes here.

My master once said something about eating one's own children, and I thought he was just joking, but I never thought it was true.

Looking at Wen Han's increasingly ugly expression, Xiao Zhang knew that if he didn't say something, the person in front of him would probably have a bad look on his face that day.

Xiao Zhang looked at Wen Han and whispered, "Actually, starting last year, the court has changed its approach to using work-for-relief."

"We use labor to exchange for food, build houses and various necessities for ourselves, and even reclaim land. Although it sounds a bit ridiculous to do it in winter, after reclaiming the land, we can sow seeds in the spring, and even let wealthy families hire people to do the work directly. This way, different labor is exchanged for different food."

Before Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Wen Han's eyes lit up frighteningly, full of admiration.

Xiao Zhang coughed slightly, and Wen Han lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea.

The two of them continued the previous topic tacitly.

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, who came up with such a clever idea? His little head is so smart."

Xiao Zhang was silent for a moment, then pointed at himself.

Wen Han was stunned.

Xiao Zhang was satisfied.

Then he continued, "Although ginger is not difficult to grow and is not expensive, ginger tea is indeed extremely expensive. The brown sugar in it is even more refined. Nowadays, they can even drink ginger juice raw, let alone ginger soup."

Xiao Zhang looked at Wen Han with disapproval in his eyes.

Wen Han was stunned. She was overthinking it. As a poor family, they didn't have so many requirements. Having hot ginger water was good enough.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "The milk tea is cold, so you can't drink it."

With a teasing tone, Wen Han's attention was drawn to the milk tea in front of him.

Take a deep breath through the bamboo tube.

There was a smile in Xiao Zhang's eyes.

It’s great that Wen Han is still his now.

Only by becoming stronger can he ensure that no one will compete with him for Wen Han.

"Drink slowly!"

Although it was a restraining gesture, the tone was full of indulgence and had no deterrent effect at all.

Wen Han drank it without caring about anything.

"Another one."

After Wen Han finished drinking, he handed the quilt in front of him to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "No refills for now!"

Wen Han: “???”

Staring blankly at the empty bamboo cup after drinking.

Xiao Zhang rubbed Wen Han's head, his tone extremely doting, "Be good! If you drink too much of this, you'll easily get up at night!"

Wen Han pouted and looked unhappy.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "It's not easy for my beloved concubine to get up now. If you drink too much, it's really easy to get up at night."

Although Wen Han knew it, he just wanted to be willful at this moment, "Can I drink a little more?"

The cute little hand stretched out, and then extended a little bit, as small as a fingernail.

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but almost collapsed, then he instantly retracted his expression and looked at Wen Han.

"My beloved concubine, be obedient."

The tone was as doting as if coaxing a child.

Wen Han froze, then grabbed the corner of Xiao Zhang's clothes.

He swayed gently, and it seemed that he had just drunk a little hot drink. Unlike his pale face just now, his face was a little rosy.

Plus the longing and eager look on the little face.

Xiao Zhang was almost about to agree, but after a moment, he refused.

Then Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang disappointedly.

"My dear, if you act cute again, I will make you something even more delicious tomorrow."

"Acting cute?!" Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in confusion.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Yeah."

The babyish voice and Xiao Zhang's face give him a bit of a boyish vibe, making him look really cute.

Wen Han smiled.

"Haha! I tricked you!!"

Xiao Zhang was stunned. What did he just do?

Is it something that you feel ashamed of, whether in this life or the previous one?

Wen Han's laughter sounded really happy, and Xiao Zhang could only look at Wen Han lovingly.

There’s nothing I can do!

The girl you love.

Wen Han laughed for a long time, and then his stomach felt a little tight.

Wen Han next to him seemed to be breathing in and out due to the pain.

Xiao Zhang didn't have time to laugh at the series of accidents caused by Wen Han's wild laughter.

His hand had already honestly reached into the quilt and was skillfully rubbing Wen Han's lower abdomen.

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in front of him in shock.

It turns out that the illusion I had just before falling asleep was not an illusion!

It was really Xiao Zhang who came here.

Wen Han struggled to free himself from the restraints on Xiao Zhang's hands.

Xiao Zhang held Wen Han down, "Don't move, it will hurt later!!"

Although it was a reproach, the tone was full of concern.

Wen Han was stunned, with unspeakable emotions surging in his eyes.

In the past, their parents often showed their love in front of them. As their master even said, their parents were true love and they were an accident.

However, it seemed that she had never seen her father treat her mother so well.

Even these thoughtful little gestures.

Wen Han was stunned.

Xiao Zhang's hand could clearly feel Wen Han's stiffness.

The two of them just lay stiffly on the bed.

Wen Han coughed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I feel much better now! Thank you for the massage, Your Majesty."

Xiao Zhang took out his hand, his expression looking a little regretful.

Wen Han: “…”

Wen Han now feels like throwing Xiao Zhang out.

Xiao Zhang was completely unaware, and then he said, "My beloved, I sent your father out to deal with the Salt Gang today."
