Chapter 568: Winning People's Hearts
Changli's efficiency is quite fast, but the news he brought back is not very happy. The things I found were some things that weren't very useful, and most of them were known to the third princess last time.
"And did you find out when they met?" She now has no hope for the news that Changli has brought back. Changli shook his head helplessly, not that he didn't know, but that he wasn't sure.
"Go down first! I'll think of a way to keep that piece staring. If there's anything special or strange, tell me right away. Changli, who received the order, returned to the beam.
She looked at what was already a tempting breakfast, and suddenly lost her appetite. Sighing while stirring the porridge in the bowl. When will Ruoxi be found, and is she doing well now?
Thinking that Ruoxi was still in the hands of Bai Jinglian's pervert, her heart felt like she was being pinched by a big hand. She was out of breath and felt like she was about to suffocate.
"Miss Yun, are you thinking about your daughter?" When Xiao You pushed the door in, she saw Ning Yunxiao in a daze, and she knew that she was thinking about her daughter again.
It seems that she came to Tianrong to find her daughter, and she must be so sad that she has not heard from her for so long. Thinking of this, Xiao You wondered if her mother would think of her like this, and her eyes turned red when she thought about it.
"Little Nizi, what are you crying about. Haven't I even cried yet? As soon as Ning Yunxiao looked up, he saw Xiao You, whose eyes were red, as if he wanted to be bullied by someone.
"No, nothing. It's just that I miss my mother a little, Miss Yun, hurry up and eat! Especially this shrimp dumpling, it won't taste good when it's cold later. Sensing his faux pas, Xiao You immediately changed the subject.
Seeing that Xiaoyou didn't want to say, she didn't ask. She was just thinking about how to get more clues, and she really wanted to see Ruoxi soon.
In the past few days, Bai Jinglian seems to have been much quieter. Maybe she hasn't been out much since that incident, Bai Jinglian can't find a chance to start, or he is planning a bigger plan.
She always had a bad premonition that something big should happen to Tianrong Kingdom in the past few days. But even if there is no Bai Jinglian and her, these uneasy princes and princesses will make a storm in the city.
She hadn't been there since she left the palace that day. I don't know if the third princess has any new clues, but she said that she will be notified if there are clues.
Ever since that day Changli gave her the list, when she decided to use those chess pieces. Changli has been collecting news from all sides, hoping to find Ruoxi as soon as possible.
But even with the news of the National Teacher's Mansion, there are some inconsequential, and it is useless to talk about it. It's not that the chess pieces are not inserted deeply, and it's not that they didn't do their best to check.
It's just that I can't find it, this time Bai Jinglian hid it too well. Not a single complete clue can be found, and the clues found are all fragmentary. No matter how Ning Yunxiao put it together, it couldn't be pieced together.
The days passed, but there was no news. She felt that she was running out of patience to wait, but what could she do if she was impatient. Could it be that he wanted to find Bai Jinglian, and then put a knife on his neck and ask him?
Not to mention that she can't find Bai Jinglian now, even if she does, with her understanding of Bai Jinglian. He categorically won't say it, and if it's a big deal, the net will be broken.
He has nothing to give up now, and in order to take revenge on Li Yiyan, he can give his life.
All she can do now is wait, wait for news. Either wait for Bai Jinglian's next appearance, and then follow him to find Ruoxi. The last time he held her hostage, it was obvious that Ruoxi was in his hands.
Or does he know where Ruoxi is? In short, if you find him, Ruoxi's whereabouts will be easy to find.
Compared with Ning Yunxiao's anxiety, the princes and princesses are also trying to win people's hearts. Princess Celestia has been insisting on soup kitchen, and the accident last time did not cause much damage to the entire soup kitchen.
The people don't mind the soup cooks and the taste of the porridge, as long as there is porridge to drink, they won't starve to death. They don't want to experience hunger again.
So the eldest princess of soup porridge was quickly praised by the people, and the third princess, who had not appeared for a long time, was gradually forgotten by people.
"Princess, you see that the people are now praising you for your good heart." Taking advantage of the gap in the soup kitchen, Cai'er began to pat Chu Yinyue's ass. But what she said was indeed the truth, and Chu Yinyue turned a blind eye.
Anyway, she felt comfortable listening to this, and it was also true. This time, she wants to see how Chu Suwen is going to fight with her, hasn't she been pretending to be a good person before?
"We can't be complacent yet, and our soup kitchen will continue. However, it seems that there is not enough rice in stock, so it's time for us to reach out to our father and ask for money. Saying that, Chu Yinyue's face was a little more calculating.
That's what she planned, first using her own money and food to give porridge. then earn the love of the people, and then reach out to her father to ask for money and food, even if her father does not give it. When the time comes, she will let people spread the word that the eldest princess has taken out all her family resources for soup kitchen.
At that time, not only would she not be poked in the back by the people. Her father also had to give her two taels of silver, so that the money also had a reputation and fame. Killing two birds with one stone, this kind of good thing, Chu Suwen actually didn't come to intervene.
She seems to be saying that she is not feeling well these days, so she can't come to soup kitchen. But the people didn't care about the third princess who was seriously ill, but kept praising her.
If Chu Suwen knew, she would be even more angry.
The next day, in the early court, the eldest princess invited the emperor. said that she had donated all the rice and grain in the princess's mansion in the past few days, and she also took a lot of money to buy it.
The point to explain is that she has no money and no food, and she wants the emperor to subsidize her. The emperor didn't react when he heard it, but pondered for a long time. In the end, the emperor said that he should think about it for a few days, and at this time, a minister who supported him came out and said that the people were praising her for the past few days. And the three princesses, who usually like to oppose them the most, did not jump out to express their opinions at this time.
One is because Chu Suwen has been sick for the past few days and does not come to the morning court on leave. And what they said is indeed the truth, and the Three Princesses Party can't refute it at all.
"This, then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will allocate some silver taels and food to the eldest princess." The emperor compromised after thinking about it again and again, and after being fooled by officials from all walks of life.
Those who were against Chu Yinyue could only be angry and their teeth were itching, but they couldn't do anything.
And the Seventh Prince and his support officials were also silent, they did not express any opinions. does not suppress the third princess, nor does it support the eldest princess. Not considered neutral, he wants to develop his own strength.
He didn't want to follow the eldest princess every day in a low voice, and just the things she did to him. He couldn't forgive Celestia, but now he didn't have the strength to compete with her.
He wants to ally with the three princesses, and he wants to take the throne. Now you should go to the south of the city to give porridge with Chu Yinyue, and you want to bring back the lost hearts of the people.
After coming down to the early court, he went straight to the place where Chu Yinyue gave porridge in the south of the city. When he arrived, what he saw was Chu Yinyue in plain clothes. In order to facilitate the soup kitchen, she combed her hair in a simple bun and did not insert extra hairpins.
And she didn't wear a grand palace dress like she usually did, she simply wore a white gauze skirt. In the smoky place, I feel that she is like a fairy.
But only he knew what a dirty face was hidden beneath this good skin. She is Jin Yu and her outside is ruined, and she is different from the outside.
"Prince, what are you going to do now. We can't be standing all the time, there are already a lot of people looking at us just now. It's like hell, these pariahs. "Xiao Duzi is upset for Chu Qichen.
"Don't worry, let's go see what Princess Celestia is doing first." As he spoke, he walked towards the place where Chu Yinyue was. Xiao Duzi looked at his master and felt confused, he didn't know what his master was going to do.
"Celestia, can I come and help?" She didn't allow herself to call her the royal sister, so he called her the eldest princess. Anyway, he didn't want to call her sister, she didn't deserve it.
In fact, Chu Yinyue had already seen Chu Qichen standing next to him, but she didn't know what he was going to do. So I've been pretending not to see it, just to see what the hell he's going to do next, and improvise.
Now in public, she still doesn't believe that he can play any tricks.
"Help? How can your precious body be so tired here, I can't afford it if I'm tired. My father is going to blame me, and I don't want to be thought about by the wall. She was sarcastic about him both inside and outside her words, didn't she mean that her father was good to him?
This Chu Yinyue's stinginess, he can be regarded as having seen it. But at this point, he can still bear it. So many winds and waves have survived, and he can withstand this little wind and waves.
Seeing that Chu Qichen didn't react at all, she didn't even change her face, she thought secretly in her heart. This kid is still quite bearable, and now she still can't ruin the good image she has built up so hard outside, so she didn't say anything.
Cai'er saw that her master didn't give anything, so she stood still. But Chu Qichen couldn't target Chu Yinyue, so he attacked Cai'er.
"Is it okay, Miss Lao Cai'er will help me get some bowls and spoons, so that I can also make soup porridge." Cai'er didn't get the master's instructions and couldn't help him, but if she didn't help him, the prince was afraid that she would be punished.
She looked at her master and the Seven Princes in embarrassment, did she help or not? Seeing that Chu Yinyue was giving porridge with all her heart, she ignored her, while Chu Qichen looked at her with a hopeful face.
Just when she was about to cry in embarrassment, Chu Yinyue finally relented. "Cai'er, go and help the Seventh Prince get it! What are you still doing standing here, beware of going back and being punished by the emperor. ”
As if she had received an amnesty, she ran away. After taking the things, he stuffed them into Chu Qichen's hand, and he didn't even look at him. As if he were a flood beast, he smiled helplessly.
After getting the spoon, I was ready to start the soup kitchen, but no one came. Everyone crowded in the direction of Chu Yinyue, and no one was willing to come to him.
"Prince, what's going on......" Xiao Duzi was also blindsided by the scene in front of him. Why is this happening, he and Chu Qichen looked up at Chu Yinyue together, and saw a touch of pride in her eyes.
These were things she had expected for a long time, and it was none of their business. Just now, he didn't let Cai'er get him something, just to give him a dismount.
Now is the real big show, she looked at Chu Qichen with a smile on her eyebrows. Chu Qichen couldn't help it, but Xiao Duzi couldn't see her master being bullied.
As soon as he wanted to go up to comment with her, he was stopped by Chu Qichen. Seeing Chu Yinyue looking so leisurely, he definitely didn't leave a handle for him. If Xiao Duzi messes with her now, she will suffer a loss at that time
If it gets big, he still ignores it in front of his father. When the time comes, the person who will be really punished will be him, not Chu Yinyue, and her little abacus will still play very well.
