Empress, she wins by eating melons and laying down in the harem

Chapter 361
Liu Qiqi turned her head to meet the Prince's gaze, "The people in this town are very poor, it's pretty good to be able to eat enough."

The prince didn't say anything, and started to eat.

Eating chicken nuggets that were bigger than a child's fist, paired with throat-sucking steamed buns, the prince couldn't swallow it, so he stopped eating after just two bites.

Liu Qiqi was different, explaining while eating, "Occasionally eating some whole grains is good for your health."

"And this nonsense?"

"Look at the people who eat and drink all day long, either there is something wrong here, or they are uncomfortable there, and look at these people who eat whole grains, they are all in good health."

The prince thought it was unreasonable, and it was true. Under Liu Qiqi's coaxing, he ate a bun.

After Liu Qiqi finished eating, she hiccupped with satisfaction.

While rubbing his belly, he said, "It's so delicious!" Coarse grains are very expensive now, and only people in this era think it's not a good thing.

In the eyes of the prince, it is not a good thing. For the poor people, it is a luxury to have enough food.

When the prince and Liu Qiqi got into the carriage and were about to leave, the subordinates had already brought the result that the prince wanted.

Hearing those words, the prince purposely let the carriage pass by among the crowd, seeing all the emaciated people, his heart was deeply touched.

Liu Qiqi lay on the carriage window, looked at the people outside, and sighed in her heart.

Mazhi County is a foolish official, but the people in Qing County can eat enough and wear warmth. Looking at this place again, everyone looks malnourished, and they feel pitiful.

After walking for a while, I learned from the people that this place is dry all year round, the annual grain output is not high, and the taxes paid are the same as other places, which caused the current situation.

Just thinking about it, an old man passed by and fainted on the road from hunger.

Soon many people gathered around.

The carriage was forced to stop.

They heard more foul language.

Some scolded God for not opening his eyes, and some scolded the emperor for being incompetent and not even giving them food and clothing.

When Liu Qiqi heard this, she subconsciously looked at the prince.

The prince's face was not good-looking.

He pursed his mouth tightly and said nothing.

Liu Qiqi was worried that the prince would not be able to control his actions against the common people, and her chance to earn a good reputation for the prince was gone.

Fortunately, the crown prince can hold his breath. When someone takes away the old man who is hungry and dizzy, and someone enthusiastically gives him a bite of food, the old man will be considered alive.

After the carriage passed by, Liu Qiqi said, "I thought you would do it!"

The prince cast a glance at her and said nothing.

Liu Qiqi explained, "Don't blame them. These people are really pitiful. They don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. But they are wrong. All this is not decided by the emperor, nor is it eccentric. .”

The prince smiled, "You really think I will do it?"

Liu Qiqi shook her head, "I have nothing to do with them. Seeing them like this, I just feel pitiful. You are different. Once you get angry, I will be terrified!"

The prince chuckled, "I don't think you are afraid."

Liu Qiqi deliberately did not answer, leaned over and said, "Prince, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service, do you want it?"

The prince raised his eyebrows.

"You go to ask for rain. As long as there is a heavy rain here, their drought will be solved. At that time, the people here will remember your kindness for the rest of their lives. If someone has eyesight, give the prince a book of ten thousand people, and it will be recorded in the annals of history! "

The prince was moved by Liu Qiqi.

Asking for rain in a dry place, are you sure you are not dying?
"Don't worry, I'm sure. At noon tomorrow, there will definitely be a downpour here. At that time, you just have to act like this, and such a good thing will fall on your head."

"You count?"

"Hmm." Liu Qiqi felt guilty, could it be said that the system said it?

The original words of the system are that the Crown Prince is the Son of Heaven, and the son of the Son of Heaven begs Lao Tzu, so there is still some face for this.

Liu Qiqi couldn't open her mouth to say this, so she could only say it in this way.

"Try it in this hall!"

"Trust me, I won't lie to you."

Sun Shuo felt that the Crown Princess was bragging, Yu Dai and Qing Dai felt that the Crown Princess was lying again, and believed that the Crown Prince would not believe it, but what they did not expect was that the Crown Prince agreed and decided to stay here for the night.

Hearing this, Sun Shuo couldn't calm down anymore, and tried his best to tell the prince not to do stupid things.

It's a pity that he didn't have the guts to say what the prince decided. What Sun Shuo didn't expect was to ask Zhao Kai and others who had already left to cooperate.

The prince did not worry about them. After they found a hotel to stay, they left someone to protect Liu Qiqi, and he left with Sun Shuo and others.

He is a prince and a royal family, and he never lacks in food and clothing. Thinking of the child's expression because of a piece of chicken, his heart was shocked, and because of the hungry old man who fainted, he decided to see what happened to this place. thing.

When Liu Qiqi saw the prince going out, she didn't worry, she drank tea comfortably and read the script.

Yudai wanted to speak up several times, but Chunbi didn't have the guts to do so, so she could only endure it.

Qingdai asked while pouring tea, "Crown Princess, is it really going to rain at noon tomorrow?" She saw that the land here was cracked.

"It stands to reason."

"It makes sense?" Qing Dai's face turned pale, the prince had already believed it.

"The prince is a prince. If the prince asks me for something, I should give my son this face."

"What does the princess mean, as long as the prince comes forward?"

"Probably!" Qing Dai didn't get an affirmative answer, thinking of the Crown Princess' past behavior, she definitely wouldn't joke about it.

Yu Dai suppressed her worries in her heart.

evening.

Seeing that the prince came back with a bad face.

Yu Dai's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that Sun Shuo's expression was not good, he knew that there must be something wrong inside.

As a servant girl, I dare not deviate from the rules, and can only do my duty as a servant girl.

Bring the food, and stay quietly by the side,
The prince looked at the food, lost his appetite, and saw Liu Qiqi eating steamed buns, which looked very delicious. Thinking about the people's sentiments that he investigated today, he still can't accept it. Under the emperor's rule, there are still places that are so poor.

Thinking that there has been no rain here, the harvest in the fields is not good, and many people are desperate.

Some people leave their hometowns to seek refuge with relatives, and some people can only buy and sell women for a full meal.

Thinking of how they lived a life of luxury in the capital, I suddenly felt that it shouldn't be!
After Liu Qiqi finished eating, she looked at the prince, "Don't be like this, with you here, everything will be fine."

The prince hoped so.

The prince picked up the steamed bun and ate it, but it was still hard to swallow. Thinking that those common people didn't even have this kind of food, he didn't think it was so bad.

Sun Shuo and the others quietly ate the buns.

Because this is an inn, there is not much to eat, and because the people here are really living a hard life, they cherish what they eat.

Day two.

Liu Qiqi was still sleeping in the inn when she heard the commotion outside.

Listen carefully, it is the prince who wants to pray for rain for the people.

Hearing this, the people were all excited.

The prince is coming, which means that the emperor has not forgotten them.

beg for rain!

This is a big deal for them.

Because of the perennial drought, they haven't seen rain for a long time.

The last time it rained was a long time ago, and it was only a few drops.

If the prince comes, praying for rain will surely succeed.
