Chapter 308: Famine

Although Lin Yingxiang has been taking care of the palace for some time, after all, she has not encountered any real major events, so at this time, for those people who are noisy and shouting at the gate of the palace, she has no other way than to let her subordinates go out to disperse the crowd.

Yes, at this time, Lin Yingxue's return made all the subordinates seem to have found the backbone, and they suddenly began to get excited.

"Go and ask the people in the treasury to bring some food to the kitchen people to boil some porridge and water, and then steam some steamed buns and go out for the people." As soon as Lin Yingxue stepped forward, she calmly commanded.

When the people heard this, they quickly dispersed and went according to Lin Yingxue's instructions, and Lin Yingxue thought about it, and turned around and walked outside.

"Miss-" Miaoqin didn't expect Lin Yingxue to enter the mansion with great difficulty, but she was about to go out again, she exclaimed and hurriedly followed.

And Lin Yingxiang was about to talk to Lin Yingxue, but when she saw that Lin Yingxue didn't even look at her, she walked outside again, and her full posture of being a master mother made her side concubine more and more clumsy.

She pinched the handkerchief in her hand hard, and only after calming down her mood did she keep up with Lin Yingxue's steps as usual.

After leaving the mansion, Lin Yingxue glanced at Miaoqin beside her, Miaoqin understood, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, the princess-to-be has come out, if you have anything to say, the princess-to-be will definitely find a way to help everyone solve the problem!" ”

Miaoqin's words were obviously much better than those subordinates who were trying to drive everyone away, but as soon as Miaoqin's words fell, the crowd that was still noisy suddenly quieted down.

"I've got a general idea of everyone's predicament." Lin Yingxue slowly said under the gaze of everyone: "You are all the people of the King of the Northwest, the King of the Northwest will not ignore you, everyone should be restless, the palace will distribute food to everyone in a while." ”

"As for the follow-up problems, we need to wait for the prince to come back before we can discuss and solve them, everyone will start lining up in an orderly manner now, and we will receive food later."

Hearing that the palace would distribute food in a while, the hungry people hurriedly began to seize their positions.

For a while, the scene began to mess up again, but it was obviously much better than Fang Cai.

Lin Yingxue looked at the many people below, sighed slightly, and after instructing her subordinates to maintain order, she turned around and entered the mansion again.

Seeing this, the dew drops on the side also stepped forward and whispered in Lin Yingxiang's ear: "Niangniang, it's cold outside, let's go in too." ”

"Hmm." Lin Yingxiang replied lightly, and slowly turned around with the hand holding the dewdrop.

"Eh, did you see it just now, the quasi-princess is different from the side room!" As soon as he walked to the backyard, Lin Yingxiang met two Yahuan who were quietly chewing their tongues, and the two Yahuan were chatting at this time, and they didn't realize that there was someone behind them.

Seeing the two maids talking about the master behind their backs, Lu Zhu frowned angrily, and was about to step forward to teach the two girls a lesson on the spot, but was stopped by Lin Yingxiang just after taking a step.

Dew looked back at Lin Yingxiang's eyes, and saw Lin Yingxiang with a straight face, a gloomy expression, and eyes as sharp as knives, staring straight in the direction of the two girl rings, as if she wanted to see what bad things these two girl rings could say about her.

Seeing this, Dew Drop also restrained her anger and quietly retreated.

"That's not it!" The two maids were still talking unconsciously, "No matter how you say it, it's our head master, unlike the Xiangbian concubine, I really think I'm something!" In fact, she is just a little concubine, and I don't know what unsightly means were used to climb up to our prince! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The prince may not want to see her in his heart! You have seen her enter the door for so long, how many times has the prince been in her room? If it were me, I would have been hiding in the room and not coming out! Hahaha......"

The more the two girls talked, the more they rose, and finally they laughed gloatingly.

Dew Drop listened to it, not only did not feel annoyed, but sympathized with the two maids.

Sure enough, she turned her head to look at her master, only to see Lin Yingxiang's face gloomy, and she looked hairy.

"You know what to do." After Lin Yingxiang said in a low voice, he turned around and left.

While Luzhu followed, she turned back and glanced at the two girls with regret - these two little girls who were just twenty-eight Shaohua, she was afraid that she would not be able to see them in the mansion in the future.

……

It wasn't until after dark that Murong Jun hurriedly returned, and Lin Yingxiang kept asking people to keep an eye on the situation at the door, and when she saw Murong Jun coming back, she hurriedly went out of the door and was about to see Murong Jun, but Murong Jun didn't even stop and went directly to Lin Yingxue's room opposite.

The door was opened by Miaoqin, and at this time, Lin Yingxue was reading a medical book in the soft collapse, and when she heard Murong Jun coming in, she didn't even raise her eyelids, as if she didn't know that there was another person in the room.

Miaoqin saw that the atmosphere that the two of them saw was not right, so she hurriedly made an excuse to slip away: "Lord Wang, please sit down, and the slave maid will go outside to make a pot of hot tea and come in." ”

With a 'bang', after Miaoqin went out, the room suddenly fell silent.

Murong Jun knew that Lin Yingxue was still angry, so he took the initiative to go over and ask for peace, "I have already rejected the request of the leader of Qiyan." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Yingxue's action of flipping through the book was suddenly paused.

She turned her head and glanced at Murong Jun, slightly surprised, "The prince refused so simply, aren't you afraid that the leader of Qiyan will change his mind and turn against the water?" ”

After all, following Murong Jun is openly confronting the entire imperial court, if it is not successful, the entire Qiyan tribe may not be able to keep it, and at the moment Murong Jun is not willing to give the Qiyan tribe a guarantee by marriage...... It's so hard to guarantee that Qi Yan Gaocha will not reconsider whether to help Murong Jun.

Murong Jun snorted lightly when he heard this-how could he not think of the problem that Lin Yingxue could think of, but he didn't want her to be wronged.

"It doesn't matter." Murong Jun squeezed to Lin Yingxue's side and sat down, and took Lin Yingxue's weak and boneless little hand and kneaded it, "Even if the leader of the Gaocha chooses not to help us anymore, but with the leader of the Gaocha, presumably he will not fall into the ground, so at that time, our worst-case scenario will be just one less help." ”

Before Murong Jun came back, Lin Yingxue had actually prepared in her heart that Murong Jun was going to marry Qiyan Zhen'er and enter the door, but she didn't expect Murong Jun's decision to be a big surprise to her.

"I ......" As soon as Lin Yingxue opened her mouth, she only felt that her throat was blocked by something, and it was sour and a little heavy, so that she couldn't say a word completely.

Seeing this, Murong Jun hugged Lin Yingxue into his arms, "If you choose between this world and you, I only want you." ”

All I want is you.

Lin Yingxue's eyes were red, and she stretched out her hand to hug Murong Jun back.

The unhappiness that permeated her heart today also turned into smoke in this tight embrace.

After the two of them rubbed their ears and temples for a while, Lin Yingxue remembered what was going on, "By the way, have you heard about the famine?" ”

"Hmm." Speaking of this, the warmth that had finally risen on Murong Jun's face suddenly faded, "I have already sent someone to understand the situation, this drought happened a few months ago, if it weren't for the fact that the people couldn't hold on recently, they wouldn't have made a fuss." ”

"It's just that we have just come here, and we have brought a lot of gold and silver wealth, but food is scarce." Murong Jun paused when he said this, and then looked at Lin Yingxue again and said seriously: "I know that you have ordered someone to give soup for relief today, but the winter in the Northland is still very long. ”

"We also need to leave enough food to survive this winter, so when we arrange relief in the future...... It needs to be a degree. ”

Murong Jun's meaning is nothing more than that the victims of the disaster need relief, but if they have spare strength, if they really reach a desperate situation, they must first protect themselves and the entire palace.

Lin Yingxue hesitated for a moment before frowning and nodded, after all, everyone is selfish, they are not saviors, in the face of natural and man-made disasters, if she has spare strength, she doesn't mind helping others, but if not, she naturally wants to protect herself first.

The conversation ended in an extremely heavy atmosphere, and in the days that followed, Murong Jun became more and more busy, almost no one was seen all day, and the relief of the palace was obviously decreasing day by day, and many times there were many victims who had not received food in front of the palace.

"It's cold!" Miaoqin and Miaohua came in from the outside with their necks curled up—but they had gone outside for something, and by this time they had already frozen their noses red and shivered all over.

Fortunately, Lin Yingxue's house lit a stove and brazier, which was much warmer than outside.

The two of them were busy warming up by the brazier, Lin Yingxue looked at the unusually quiet wonderful painting today, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "What's wrong with the wonderful painting today?" Sad, but where are you angry? ”

Lin Yingxue's inquiry suddenly brought the distracted wonderful painting back to her senses, she looked at Lin Yingxue and shook her head and said: "I have a good sister in the house, but I suddenly haven't seen her in the past few days, I went to ask the housekeeper, saying that she made a mistake in doing things, and was scolded by the housekeeper for a few words, and then ran away by herself......"

"But she followed the prince all the way to come here, and she didn't have any relatives here, where could she go? So the slave is a little worried about the safety of this little sister......"

The words of the wonderful painting made Lin Yingxue frown - now there is a famine in the entire northland, and there is at least one bowl of rice to eat in the palace, and most people are squeezed out of their heads and want to enter the palace, but this girl Huan chose to run away at this time, which is obviously a little wrong.

Lin Yingxue already had a bad conjecture in her heart, but looking at the wonderful painting with a worried face, she still comforted: "At this juncture, how much anger can she have, she must be back by herself in a few days, and besides, she left like this, her deed of sale is still in the palace, where can she go to stay?" ”

"Wait a few days, and when she is angry, she will come back naturally, and then I will go and talk to the housekeeper and tell the housekeeper not to embarrass her."

Hearing Lin Yingxue say this, the wrinkled facial features of the wonderful painting stretched out.

"Then thank you, Miss!" After telling his heart, Miaohua returned to his previous heartless appearance, and told jokes next to Miaoqin.

However, looking at the carefree maids, Lin Yingxue couldn't laugh no matter what.
