The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 10 Disaster Relief Fundraising
Looking at the long line in the yard, Shen Qiqi felt a sense of frustration for the first time.

She was really out of her mind at the time, so she got into Mo Yan's trap without even thinking about it, right?
"Princess, are servants going to prepare painting tools now?" Looking at the court ladies and eunuchs in the courtyard, the corners of Yue Ling's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, looked at Yue Ling, "You asked them to come?"

"No." Yue Ling shook her head with a mournful face, "His Royal Highness the Regent asked them to come, saying that they were specially helping the princess."

"Hehe, I really thank his whole family..." Shen Qiqi squeezed out a few words between her teeth, looked at the Wuyang Wuyang person in front of her, and said with a headache, "You keep a few people, and the rest are just Go back first, I can't draw so much in one morning."

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Regent ordered the servants to come here according to the palace. The ones who came today are all from Fengxi Palace." A maid who looked a little older said.

So many people in one palace?Shen Qiqi was a little speechless. "It's useless for you to wait here. It's a waste of time. If you have something to do, you can leave now."

"Slaves...obey." The older maid hesitated, and said to the court ladies and eunuchs behind, "If you have something to do, go back first, and leave a few mornings here to wait here, so as to save the master There's no one to wait around."

"Yes, the servant will retire..."

"Slaves leave..."

As soon as these words came out, within a short while, most of the people in the yard had left, and the rest were waiting quietly in line.

Shen Qiqi looked at the court lady who spoke just now, "Then let's start with you."

"Yes, slaves obey."

Having prepared the painting tools, Shen Qiqi carefully sized up the maid, and while starting to write, she asked, "What's your name, how old are you?"

"Princess Hui, this servant girl is called Luzhu, she is 25 this year, and she is the eldest maid of Fengxi Palace." Luzhu lowered her head and said respectfully.

"25? Then you should be leaving the palace soon." Shen Qiqi simply wrote down the information on a piece of paper beside her.

"Yes." Luzhu frowned and nodded.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qiqi smiled, "I'm about to leave the palace, aren't you happy?"

"Princess was joking." Luzhu lowered her head, "Slaves like us will never get rid of slavery for life, so what can we do if we leave the palace, we might as well stay in the palace."

Can't get rid of slavery for life?Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, seeing Luzhu's lonely expression, she didn't speak again.

The palace maids are allowed to leave the palace when they reach the specified age, which is a long-standing rule in the palace.It's just that if you can't get rid of slavery, and you're getting older when you leave the palace, in this era, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married and live a stable life!

Although Shen Qiqi has sketching skills, even if it is a brush painting, the speed of realistic characters is not slow, but after the whole morning, he only drew a dozen or so people.

"Princess, this is a hot handkerchief, please wrap it on your wrist." Yue Ling frowned, looking at the eunuch who was packing up the painting tools, "Why don't you go and beg His Royal Highness the Regent for mercy, the palace officials Thousands of people, how can one month finish painting!"

"Begging for mercy? Impossible." Shen Qiqi rubbed her sore wrist, "He just wanted to punish me on purpose, if he begs for mercy now, wouldn't it be in his favor."

Yue Ling had a bitter face, "But, with so many people, how could it be possible to finish the painting!"

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows, "He has a plan, and I have a wall ladder!"

Yue Ling was taken aback, "Princess, have you thought of any solution?"

Shen Qiqi looked at Yue Ling, and in the expectant eyes of the other party, slowly uttered two words, "No!"

Yue Ling's little face collapsed all of a sudden, "Princess..."

"What's the hurry, isn't there still one month left!" Shen Qiqi put down the handkerchief in her hand, "By the way, do you know where the emperor is now?"

"Your Majesty?" Yue Ling thought for a while, "It should be in the Imperial Study Room. I heard that several places have been hit by disasters recently. Because of disaster relief, the Emperor is very worried recently."

"Xiao Jijing? Worried about disaster relief?" Shen Qiqi was about to stretch her arms, why did she think this news was so unreliable! "you sure?"

"This..." Yue Ling was also a little tangled, "That's what the father-in-law next to the emperor said to the outside world."

Shen Qiqi stood up and moved her sore neck, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's visit the emperor who is worried about disaster relief."

Although Mo Yan can only cover the sky with one hand, Xiao Jijing's words are still more effective than Mo Yan's in terms of matters in the harem.For this cheap brother, she still needs to win over him properly.

Shen Qiqi originally thought that Xiao Jijing's worry about disaster relief was just a cover for speaking to the outside world.But when she entered the imperial study room and saw Xiao Jijing sitting in front of the table with a sad face, she was really taken aback.

"Sister, you're here." Seeing Shen Qiqi coming, Xiao Jijing just greeted him listlessly.

"Your majesty, what's the matter with you?" Shen Qiqi walked to Xiao Jijing's side, and said in a somewhat dumbfounded voice, "Don't tell me, you are really worried about disaster relief." Could it be that Xiao Jijing suddenly changed his mind?

"Sister, you also know about disaster relief?" Xiao Jijing sighed solemnly, "Oh, it's really hard to be an emperor!"

Looking at Xiao Jijing's wrinkled face, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt distressed. It seemed that although Xiao Jijing was usually playful, he was the emperor after all, so he still worried about political affairs.

Touching Xiao Jijing's head, Shen Qiqi persuaded, "It will be resolved, and there are still officials in the court, so you don't need to worry so much."

"It's because of those officials that I'm bothered!" Xiao Jijing raised his head and said angrily, "Sister, they insist on saying that the treasury is short of silver, and they propose to reduce palace expenses. Tell me, if they withhold What about my meal?"

"Cough cough cough..." Shen Qiqi was almost choked to death by her own saliva, and looked at Xiao Jijing in surprise, "So, you look like this, are you worried about eating?"

"That's right, Sister, the regent also said to let me set an example, it's too annoying!" Xiao Jijing muttered.His daily meals are all what he likes to eat, and he can't let go of one!
Shen Qiqi withdrew her hand a little speechlessly, well, she really thought too much just now.

Comparing with his hands that were still sore, Xiao Jijing, the emperor, was indeed very nourishing.

"Sister, why are you silent?" Xiao Jijing looked at Shen Qiqi, "By the way, Sister, what are you doing here today?"

"No..." Shen Qiqi was just about to speak, but suddenly froze for a moment, rolled her eyes, smiled a little at the corner of her mouth, looked at Xiao Jijing and said, "If I say, I have a way to raise money for disaster relief, And there is no need to reduce the expenses in the palace, are you willing to listen to me?"
