Chapter 176

"I'm asking if your palace is still peaceful. Is there anything you want to report?" Zhao Shuang took another sip of the soup while holding the spoon.

"No...nothing." Lian Wuxin thought, if there is anything you can ask me alone, what should I say in front of He Yuqi?
"Oh?" Zhao Shuang looked down at the dishes on the table and said, "I see that there is no chicken in this white jade chicken soup, and there is no rice in the vegetable porridge, only some rotten vegetable leaves..."

"Princess!" He Yuqi's eyes flickered, and he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "As soon as I heard that you came back, I sent someone to buy food. Please wait patiently for a while..."

In the past few months, He Yuqi has obviously changed a lot. Her hair is pulled into a married woman's high bun, her face is curved and her eyebrows are raised high, her lips are thick red vermilion, and she wears a dark green that doesn't match her age. Brocade gown with large sleeves.

"Oh? Buy?" Zhao Shuang cast a sideways glance at her, "When will my palace be reduced to the point where... one more person will temporarily go to the street to buy food?"

"It's not buying, it's moving, moving food. I was in a hurry, so I made a mistake." He Yuqi replied cautiously.

"The kitchen of the palace is only a few steps away from the Fanshuang Palace." Zhao Shuang put down the spoon and glanced at the woman in green. "I don't know who beauty... Where are you going to move the food? It took so long?"

"Yes..." The green-clothed beauty twitched her brows, feeling that there would be a catastrophe today, and wished she could send someone back to her natal family to report the news.

"Back to the princess, He Meiren sent someone to bring food to Shangshu's Mansion." Aunt Chang added the knife at the side, "The kitchen in our palace is empty now, only some rotten vegetables and leaves are left."

"He Meiren, you are still young, and I feel that the responsibility of being in charge of the palace... is too heavy for you," Zhao Shuang said, pointing at the women in front of him, "Look, Xiaofang Xiaoyuan They are growing their bodies, how thin have they been in the past few months?"

A room full of women, except for He Yuqi, who is plump and carefully groomed, is all thin and weak like dried cabbage, with the words "malnutrition" written all over their faces.

"Princess! Now...the capital is in danger, we are not the only ones, we all have nothing to eat. The kitchen of our palace still guarantees the supply of food. This concubine... the concubine moved the food to Shangshu's mansion, and it is not to fill my own pocket , but... for my father to help the victims of the disaster." He Yuqi had already thought up his rhetoric, raised his head and looked at the woman in the Chinese dress and said, "Besides, my father didn't let us go hungry. You can send someone to the Shangshu Mansion to fetch food!"

The more He Yuqi spoke, the more confident he became, and when he looked at Zhao Shuang, he also became bolder.

snort!My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there is nothing wrong with helping the victims of disasters. For this alone, you can't punish me, you should also praise me.

Unexpectedly, as soon as He Yuqi's voice fell, the women in the back row began to point and sneer.

"Lian Wu, is what He Meiren said true?" Zhao Shuang caught a glimpse of the woman in white who was looking around.

"Princess He, the guarantee of food supply that Beauty He said is two meals a day, and the food is pitifully small. There are only three or four places for each courtyard, but their Meifang courtyard has a full ten. Quota." Being called again, Lian Wu didn't care about offending others.

Since the princess and Nanny Chang are backing her, it is obvious that the princess wants to use herself as a knife, so she has to perform well and be a good knife.

"Relief for the disaster victims? Forgive me for my poor eyesight. Anyway, I didn't see it. And she said that if we need it, we can go to Shangshufu to get food at any time. In fact, we have to go to Meifangyuan to register for anything, and then Meifang All the people in Fangyuan go to the Shangshu Mansion to collect them. In short, nine out of ten people are rejected, even if they are not rejected, they have to wait for three to five days, and those who are brought back are still short of catties..." Lian Wudao like a bean It's all said and done.

"You...you spitting blood!" He Yuqi was in a hurry, pointing at Lianwu and shouting at the long-faced woman next to him, "Nurse Rong, tear her mouth off for me!"

He Yuqi is indeed a lady of everyone, and he doesn't even fight himself.

The long-faced lady who was following the woman in green got the order, and she was going to tear Lian Wu's mouth.

"Bold! Dare to be presumptuous in front of the princess!" Xiang Xia scolded, blocked it with her hand, and joined hands with Xiang Dong to pull Nanny Rong away.

The long-faced lady stopped when she saw Zhao Shuang's face changed, and stood beside He Yuqi unwillingly.

"This is Nanny Rong who is next to the Empress Dowager, right? We met this morning, but...we haven't had a good chat yet." Zhao Shuang gave the long-faced woman a cold look, and picked up the soup cup on the table .

"It's an old slave." The long-faced woman just washed her face for a long time, and then she will cure her convulsions.

"Our palace has no shortage of servants, you go back to Weiyang Palace." Zhao Shuang took a sip of the soup, looked up again, stared at the woman and said, "It just so happens that I plan to enter the palace tomorrow, you go back first Send a letter to the queen mother, saying that beauty He is unmoral and should not be in charge of Wangfu Zhongfu. From today on, Wangfu Zhongfu will be handed over to Aunt Xiangxia who is next to the palace. If the mother has any objections, let her ask her face to face tomorrow. I."

Most of these women in the mansion are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and they can't take on things. Aunt Chang is a good candidate, but it's a pity that she is too domineering and easy to cause trouble, so she can't be used.

Zhao Shuang thought about it, Xiangxia had been with her for so long, and she was still calm in handling things, so she handed over the matter to her.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words.

Xiangxia is just a court lady, how can she control the power of the palace?
Especially He Yuqi, who clenched her fists tightly, her face flushed red, clearly dissatisfied.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Zhao Shuang said to Xiangxia, "Xiangxia, take my palace's White Tiger Token and go to the Huxiaowei barracks to ask for some people. There are many items, and if there are missing items, write them down and ask He Da to make up for them with his salary."

"Yes!" Xiangxia took the White Tiger Token and planned to withdraw.

He Yuqi suddenly tugged at Zhao Shuang's sleeve and knelt down, with tears in his eyes, "Princess! Those foods... have been used by my father to help the victims, so where is there left?"

"Oh? You reminded me, Xiangxia, you and Hu Xiaowei go to the household department again, and ask for the account books of relief victims, and check them one by one. If there is anything that is not correct, He Da needs to use his salary to make up for it. If it is not enough Use the mansion of He Mansion to make up for it." Zhao Shuang took off the hand of the woman in green clothes, looked at her sternly and said, "As the secretary of the household department, He Da should set an example and use the materials in his mansion to help the victims. Have you come up with ideas about my palace?"

He Yuqi was shocked.In the past, although the regent princess was arrogant and indulgent, she was still soft and easy to talk, not as strict as she was. How could she go to the west of Yunnan and come back as if she was a different person?

"Father said...the prince and concubine are not here, anyway, the food in the mansion can't be finished..." He Yuqi lowered his head, stammered a few words, then looked behind Lianwu, "I don't know Xiaofang, Xiaoyuan and the others. I can’t get enough to eat, I thought they all had enough to eat.”
