Chapter 346 The Crown Prince is in a bad mood
"Your Highness, I have found out why the local people are homeless. Due to the famine a few years ago, they were unable to pay their taxes and borrowed money from wealthy merchants. Those merchants made them sign unfair contracts, and over the years, the interest has exceeded the principal."
The common people couldn't afford to pay compensation even if they sold everything they owned; the wealthy merchants had their land and houses confiscated.
"Those wealthy merchants are all members of the Chamber of Commerce. The president of the Chamber of Commerce is named Feng Zhang. That President Feng is related to the Maritime Trade Commissioner Pu by marriage. Relying on his powerful backer, he doesn't even respect the county magistrate. He acts arrogantly in Lingnan and has been given the nickname 'Feng Crab'."
The people were living peacefully on their small plot of land, but he was trying to force them to rebel.
Did they feel that the north wasn't chaotic enough, and wanted to stir up trouble in the south to hasten the demise of the Great Zhou?
“Send a few people to keep an eye on them, pick a spineless one, disguise him as an assassin, and force him to reveal his purpose and the mastermind behind it all.”
"I will arrange it immediately."
"By the way, where did your young master go? Has he been hanging out with Prince Xuan these past few days, having a great time and forgetting all about home?" Zhuiying was about to leave when she heard this and almost bumped into the door.
"Your Highness, the young master is not that kind of person. Even if he went to such a place, it was under duress. He will definitely remain chaste for you."
"Oh, so he actually went to a place like that?"
Zhuiying was so anxious that his tongue tied itself in knots. "No, that's not what I meant. I don't know where the prince is. I was just making things up. I'll go and find out right away."
After saying that, he ran out quickly, almost bumping into Green Branch who came in with a baby bottle.
She quickly moved aside to avoid it.
"Princess, the milk powder is ready."
Yun Zhaoxue glanced at the concentration and then tested the temperature; both were just right.
It's still a bit hot, let the child drink it later.
When she went shopping, she bought the entire supermarket, including several bottles of milk powder and several baby bottles, covering the outer packaging with oil paper before taking them out.
The two babies didn't want to be breastfed by others, and as they grew, their appetites increased.
She couldn't feed two children on her own, and sometimes it was inconvenient for her to take them with her when she went out to run errands, so she fed them formula.
After that, she didn't take the child with her when she went out; instead, she had someone make him formula.
The two children lying in the crib reached out to her.
Two little pink balls lay side by side.
Da Bao's little mouth started to move, looking in her direction, hoping for her to feed him.
Erbao had already pouted, making little babbling sounds, and his little fists were clenching anxiously in the air.
"Wait a little longer, I'll let you try the formula later." Yun Zhaoxue held up the bottle and waved it in front of them.
The second child had never had a bottle before, so he thought it was a new toy and reached out to grab it.
Yun Zhaoxue lifted it high, refusing to let him take it, "Not yet, you have to wait a little while."
I played with them for fifteen minutes, and only gave them the drink after checking that the temperature was about right.
One bottle per person.
Neither of them sucked when the pacifier was put in their mouths.
"This is milk powder, it tastes very good, have a sip."
Neither of the two little ones moved, staring at Yun Zhaoxue with their round, bright eyes. Neither of them drank.
We glanced at each other out of the corner of our eyes, but neither of us moved.
Yun Zhaoxue observed that Da Bao originally wanted to drink, but Er Bao glanced at him and Da Bao stopped moving.
"Drink up, drink without worry, your mother won't hurt you."
Erbao rolled his eyes, offering a silent rebuttal.
Da Bao carefully moved his little mouth and took a small sip. He didn't feel anything after the first sip, so he continued drinking.
After taking a few sips, the bottle, which was originally more than half full, was now only half empty.
Seeing his older brother drinking so enthusiastically, Erbao cautiously tried a small sip, then another sip, and then a big sip.
The two little ones couldn't stop eating; their little mouths kept moving.
Red dates and green branches support the baby bottle.
"Princess, the two young masters seem to really like drinking milk powder. Can we make it for them more often in the future? That way, you won't have to get up at night so often."
Yun Zhaoxue shook her head. “No, they are still young and cannot drink formula milk powder often. You can give it to them occasionally. When I am not home, or when I ask you to make it for them, you must test the temperature before giving it to them. Also, if they refuse to drink it or cry very loudly, do not force them to drink it.”
Red Date and Green Branch nodded simultaneously, "Yes, this servant has remembered."
Zhuiying inquired with the guards and learned of Xiao Xuance's whereabouts.
"Princess, the young master didn't go to such a place. He's practicing his spear in the back mountain. There's some bad news from the capital. The young master isn't in a good mood. Would you like to go and see him?"
