Yingyi opened the car door and the emperor and empress got in before Yingyi dared to sit in the driver's seat.
Long Yuan stood aside, genuinely feeling that he no longer needed this guard.
They know to open the two back door doors, but they don't know to open the driver's side door for him.
If you didn't know they were your own guards, you'd think they were your father's!
The emperor and empress were immediately shocked when the SUV started and the cold air blowing out of it began to shock them.
"Why does it feel colder and colder inside the car? It's so comfortable."
That night, many palace maids and eunuchs saw the strange, large creature moving around the entire palace.
The emperor was intrigued by the air conditioning in the carriage, while the empress was captivated by the glass windows beside it.
The carriage had been driven around all night, and the emperor and empress slept soundly inside, the first time they hadn't been woken up by the sweltering heat.
When Long Yuan got out of the car, looking at his mother's sleeping profile, he decided that he had to exchange an air conditioner with the Su family's little darling no matter what.
The next day, they used a horse-drawn carriage to haul a large box of glittering gold, and finally traded it with Su Muyao for an air conditioner generator and a refrigerator.
Long Yuan put all the things he had obtained in exchange into his mother's palace, and the emperor stayed in the empress's palace day and night.
The other concubines in the harem were all complaining.
In Consort Liu's palace.
"Sister, please give me some advice," came the words of the Imperial Concubine's cousin. Although the two were secretly scheming against each other, they maintained a facade of sisterly harmony.
The other concubines, who were of lower status, naturally dared not say anything more.
Consort Liu was also filled with resentment. Why was it that woman who stole the limelight?
"Sister, you've been in the palace for some time now, and you're already so beautiful, you don't need me to give you any advice," Consort Liu said with a light laugh.
"Yes, this Consort Li is extremely beautiful, and her voice is unmatched among all the sisters."
"Of course, the Emperor's heart still needs Consort Li to win him over, haha."
Upon hearing this, Consort Li immediately covered her mouth and chuckled happily.
After the ladies finished their conversation, they all returned to their respective palaces. Only after everyone had left did the Imperial Concubine let out a cold snort.
“Look at Lihua, that illegitimate child is still an illegitimate child, she can’t understand good or bad words.”
"They might just be singing a little tune where the Emperor is passing by right now."
The maidservant helped the Imperial Concubine to the small couch. "Your Majesty is right."
"You've been with me since you were little, and I've long regarded you as a sister with whom I can share everything."
"When you have time, leave the palace and personally deliver this letter to my father."
After speaking, the Imperial Concubine took out a pre-written letter from under the soft couch and handed it to the maid.
However, the maid hesitated after receiving the letter. "Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."
"Look at you, I just said I would treat you like a sister, and now you're asking me whether it's appropriate to say this or not. You don't consider me one of your own."
After saying that, she gave the maid a reproachful look.
The maid knew that the lady was not angry with her, after all, the two of them had been fighting and bickering since they were children.
It was only later, when the young lady became an empress, that the palace became filled with many people and eyes, and they began to look more like mistress and servant.
"Her position is now unshakeable, not even by the Empress."
This carefree prince is currently using the Empress and those behind her... If he were to ascend the throne, I fear he would mistreat the Empress.
Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "Hmph, he dares!"
"Your Majesty, one must always be wary of others. Although the prince is... people's hearts will change once they reach that position. Isn't the Emperor a prime example?"
The beautiful woman in front of him shook her head. "What I want has never been the empress's position. You still have that poison from the Western Regions in your room, don't you?" After saying that, she narrowed her eyes for a moment before picking up the pastries next to her and eating them.
"Your Majesty, all those things are safely stored away, so please don't worry."
"I am tired, you may leave now."
After the maid left, Consort Liu went to her dressing table and took out the handkerchief from the box.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you only have her in your heart, but do you still remember the promise you made to me back then?"
Pick up the scissors next to him and snip the handkerchief to shreds.
Since you were heartless and ungrateful first, don't blame me.
...
The main room of Su Muyao's house.
"Father, have you heard anything about the refugees while you've been out these past few days?"
Before Su Laosan could say anything, Su Laotou sighed, "There are more and more people at the city gate these days, and some have already collapsed."
What Old Man Su didn't mention was that he personally witnessed several men boiling a child who had already stopped breathing alive.
These men called the dead children "two-legged sheep," and Old Lady Su bit her lip and turned her head away.
Su Muyao listened to her grandfather's casual remark, but she knew that things were not as easy as they seemed on the surface.
Moreover, with people gathering together, more and more people are dying, and if this continues, a plague may break out.
This disease was nothing in my previous life, but things are different now. This is ancient times, and plagues are extremely fast-spreading diseases.
Thinking of the grain that was almost overflowing in his space, which had been sitting on the black soil for a long time.
The main problem is that the grains planted each time mature in just a few days. Although the space is vast, it can't withstand the accumulation of tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in just a few days.
Each time I entered the space, there were huge piles of grain, piled up to the brim.
Looking at Su Laosan sitting in front of him, he asked, "Father, my treasure trove is almost overflowing with food. Could you give some to the refugees?"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Su quickly shook her head, "My dear child, you don't know how wicked people can be."
We pity them, but in the end, we might be hurt by these people. You're still young and don't understand that the most taboo thing in this world is being overly kind.
Su Muyao understood her grandmother's worries perfectly well. She knew that if she were to openly take it out, these refugees would surely eat her alive.
Old Su disagreed, saying, "You can't say that, old woman. Our darling has the opportunity and ability to help these poor people, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just a matter of using the right methods."
We can't let others know it was given to us by our family, otherwise it won't make sense."
Su Muyao now knows that although her workshop still needs a lot of people, she doesn't just take on just anyone.
She wants someone hardworking and grateful, not someone who only takes.
Just like those lazybones who were shut down from the workshop a while ago, they just loafed around in the workshop every day and showed off their meals when it was time to eat.
Thinking of this, Su Muyao planned to secretly go to the refugee camp at night and give each household five catties of rice.
If the rice in the space hadn't been husked directly after ripening to become pure white grains, she wouldn't have wanted to give away such good things.
However, considering that rice prices are quite high now, and that he plans to secretly give everyone such good rice, he believes that anyone with a brain would go to the rice and flour shops and exchange it for more affordable brown rice.
At least this way, the whole family can survive for a while. Although we have plenty of food, it's only a temporary solution, not a way to solve the problem of poverty.
This is just a transitional period for these people; let them get through it.
Moreover, due to the continuous increase in orders in Beijing, we need more manpower.
I plan to have my father post job notices tomorrow, starting tonight.
