Chapter 297 You Must Cherish It Well
Guo Shuangwen looked at everything Bu Ruo did and snorted softly, "You are so kindhearted, Princess. You must have spent a lot of money on buying food and herbs. They are just lowly people, but you are not worthy of your personal attention as Princess. You are really lowering your status."
"If we could just send troops directly from Beining, the people would obey when they see blood. There's no need to go through all this trouble."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes and looked at the Beining envoy and Wei Jieying instead of Guo Shuangwen: "You are so lucky to have such a princess in Beining. You must cherish her well."
The two of them blushed as they listened to Bu Ruo's ridicule. Their Beining had always been at the bottom of the Three Kingdoms. Whether in terms of national strength or financial resources, it was not as good as the other two countries, but their emperor was unaware of it.
The Guo family has never produced a wise ruler who serves the country and the people for generations. If the Beining royal family had not been protected by wizards for generations, they would have been overthrown countless times. How could there be such an arrogant and hateful princess?
"Princess, you should go back and rest if you are tired. I am also going to go out and check on the victims. We will probably stay here for two days. Please do as you please."
Guo Shuangwen snorted softly, "Princess, you're stopping at every town you're in. Aren't you afraid that your husband, the prince, and the people of Yicheng will starve to death?"
Bu Ruo didn't want to pay any attention to her and stood up and walked out. Finally, Bi'er couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and said, "Princess, you don't think our princess is only following these caravans on this journey, right? We stayed in Jiangnan for three days. As early as the first day, the princess ordered dozens of caravans to carry food and herbs and follow the prince to Yicheng."
"The reason we didn't leave until the fourth day was because we collected all the food and herbs later. A princess who only cares about the present should just stay in the inn and be a princess. Don't go out and make a fool of yourself."
"you……"
Bi'er looked at Guo Shuangwen, who was so angry that he raised his teacup, and continued sarcastically, "This is an inn. If you break something, you have to pay for it. Princess, if you have money, you can do whatever you want, but if you don't... our princess will definitely not help you pay for it."
"After all, in the eyes of our princess, those untouchables you mentioned are much more precious than your life."
Guo Shuangwen watched Bi'er chase Bu Ruo and turned to look at Wei Jieying angrily: "You let this little maid humiliate me like this? I represent the Beining royal family. If I lose face, Beining loses face."
Wei Jieying said expressionlessly, "Princess, you should go back and rest. I'm afraid you've already completely lost Beining's reputation."
“You…you…”
Seeing that no one was helping him to stand up, Guo Shuangwen said, "Humph, I won't stay in this inn! I want to go out and see what a princess like her can do. I guess she'll just stand there and give orders for fame."
"I heard that she has always been pampered in the Regent's Palace. I don't believe she would be willing to personally take care of those dirty and smelly disaster victims without being disgusted."
Seeing that Guo Shuangwen had followed her out, the envoys and guards were worried. They were really afraid that the princess would say something that would arouse public anger and be beaten to death on the spot by the people and victims.
When Guo Shuangwen arrived at the gate of the government office, he did not see Bu Ruo, but saw Bu Bu and Xiao Jin, two small people standing aside. They did not lend a hand or help, but just stared blankly at the pale, skinny, and dirty victims waiting in line to get porridge.
"Hmph, you see, I knew that the noble young prince and princess could never truly care about those lowly people. They are just saying nice things for show."
The two envoys stood behind Guo Shuangwen without saying a word. In fact, they didn't believe in their hearts what these two children who had been spoiled since childhood would do, but... as long as they could stand here, they were better than all the members of the Beining royal family combined.
Just as Guo Shuangwen was about to continue mocking him, a smile suddenly appeared on Bu Bu's tense little face: "Brother, look, Aunt Lu and the guards are back."
Wei Jieying turned around and saw Guo Lu ordering several guards to come over carrying many large baskets, which were covered with cloth so that the contents could not be seen.
"Young Master, Young Princess, now that everything is brought over, we can begin."
Bu Bu looked at Guo Lu in surprise: "Why is there so much? I don't think I gave Auntie that much."
Guo Lu reached out and rubbed Bubu's head. "It's true that there aren't that many. I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough, so I added some for you. It's a token of my appreciation. Your Aunt Meiying also added some."
Bu Bu held Guo Lu and Meiying's hands and said seriously: "Aunts will definitely have great fortunes in the future."
Guo Lu was startled for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, aunts, thank you for Bu Bu's blessings."
After seeing the bamboo baskets ready, Phantom lifted the curtain and said, "From now on, the disaster victims who have received their porridge can come here to collect half a diao of money. Each household can only collect once. Please register your name and address next door before you can come to collect."
"If anyone is found to have overpaid or falsely claimed, they will no longer be accepted for charity or medical expenses. Once the disaster area is rebuilt, their name and address will be posted publicly. No one will dare to employ you anymore."
The victims' eyes turned red when they saw the strings of copper coins in your basket.
"Is this... is this true? Really half a pound per family? But how can we split it among so many of us? She's just a little girl, how could she have so much money to help us? Is this a joke?"
One of them shook his head excitedly, "No, I just saw a woman coming over to talk to the two children. The prefect was following behind her. I heard the prefect call the woman Princess."
"Although the princess is dressed simply, her aura is clearly not that of an ordinary person. I just don't know which princess she is..."
Another person also said: "He is right. I saw many carriages entering the city today. Not long after the carriages entered the city, the government set up porridge stalls and medical tents. I heard that the one who came was the Regent Princess."
"Regent Princess? Everyone knows that our Great Zhou's Regent Prince and Princess have a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who just turned three this year. Judging by the ages of these two children...could they be the young prince and princess?"
After looking at each other, they all knelt on the ground: "Thank you, young master, thank you, young princess. We will remember everything you have done..."
"I wish the young prince and the young princess peace, happiness, and a smooth life."
"I wish the young prince and the young princess peace, happiness, and a smooth life."
"I wish the young prince and the young princess peace, happiness, and a smooth life."
After the first one, there was a second one. The victims passed the news to each other and all knelt on the ground, expressing their gratitude and blessings, which made the envoys and guards feel mixed emotions.
