Allure of a Country Maiden

"Princess, the Laba porridge is ready. Should it be sent outside the city now?"

"Yes, send it now. Let everyone be careful not to get burned." Xiaoer reminded.

"Okay." Yang Liu went down to make arrangements.

During the Laba Festival, wealthy families would go outside the city to give porridge every year. This has become a big custom in the imperial capital.

It’s not just the Laba Festival, but I don’t know which year it started. From the first snowfall to the last snowfall, there will be a family outside the gate of the imperial capital every day giving porridge and donating old clothes.

Therefore, the imperial court also specially built a shed to facilitate everyone's donation.

Therefore, in the past few years, no one within a few miles of the imperial capital has suffered from hunger or cold.

Seeing that Shangguan Wanru was unhappy all day long, Prince An and Princess An took her to give porridge together.

Nowadays, due to the high yield of grain, the price of grain is decreasing year by year, and the Laba porridge is getting thicker and thicker every year.

Although many people have food in their homes, because these Laba porridges are thicker and sweeter than homemade ones, everyone is happy to come and get a portion.

Therefore, there was a crowd of people in front of the alms shed, and there were many police officers patrolling and maintaining order around the area.

Among them, the largest lines of people lined up in front of the soup kitchen tents in Prince Rui's Mansion and Shengpinghou Mansion.

Xiao'er cooked the Laba porridge in Prince Rui's house with space water, and also put a precious pill made from three things, including the worry-free fruit, the leaves of the worry-free fruit tree, and the detoxifying liquid. Her purpose was to Those poor people should take care of their bodies, treat their illnesses if they are sick, and strengthen their bodies if they are not sick.

Those with physical illnesses felt a little better after eating the porridge from Prince Rui's Mansion and Shengping Hou's Mansion. This happened every year. Naturally, more people knew the secrets, so they all lined up there.

Shangguan Wanru looked at the people who came to receive Laba porridge and gathered in front of Prince Rui's Mansion and Shengping Marquis' Mansion. She couldn't help but asked strangely: "Mother, why are there so many people in front of the soup kitchen shacks in Prince Rui's Mansion and Shengping Marquis' Mansion?"

"It's delicious! With so many people bringing Laba porridge to my house, I will only eat the ones sent by Prince Rui's Mansion and Shengping Marquis Mansion! Even your father and Xi'er, who don't like sweets, will eat one or two bowls. .”

"The food made by Xiaoer is indeed very delicious. Not only that, I always feel that she has a mysterious power that can unite people's hearts and make people unconsciously attracted to her." Shangguan Wanru also heard this. agreed.

"Yes, Princess Rui is a very approachable person."

Shangguan Wanru wanted to say something more, but a man in shabby clothes standing in front of her blinked at her.

Shangguan Wanru was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She reached out and took the empty bowl he handed over. Her fingertips touched something like a paper roll, and she caught it with her fingers.

Shangguan Wanru poured two large spoonfuls of Laba porridge into the bowl as if nothing had happened, and then handed the bowl back to him.

When the man reached out to take the bowl, the small paper roll fell into Shangguan Wanru's palm.

Shangguan Wanru quickly clenched the note, then pretended to reach into her sleeve pocket to get the handkerchief, and put the note into her sleeve pocket.

The man took the Laba porridge, walked away as if nothing had happened, and then found a place to eat.

Shangguan Wanru glanced at his back. She had met this man once. He had gone to the Prince's Mansion to look for Gong Zixuan once, but she didn't care at the time and didn't know his name, but she knew he was Gong Zixuan. Zixuan's trusted subordinate, otherwise he would not be qualified to appear in the Prince's Mansion.

Did he come to me again to talk about revenge for the prince?

In fact, she thought about it all night last night. If Min Zeguo sent troops to attack Nangong Kingdom and killed Gong Qinghua, it would be regarded as revenge for Gong Zixuan!

As for who will be the emperor of Nangong Kingdom in the future, Zhuan'er is no longer here, so what does it matter who will be the emperor!

If someone else were to be the emperor, it would be better to be occupied by Min Zeguo. After all, Minzeguo is his natal family, and Minzeguo has many super seed breeding methods, especially rice, which is the staple food of the people of Nangongguo. In this way, in the future, The people of Nangong Kingdom will have enough to eat and live a good life!

Isn't it Gong Zixuan's dream to let the people of Nangong Kingdom live a good life? This can be regarded as indirectly realizing his wish!

Anyway, anyone can be the one, not the enemy like Gong Qinghua! The position that originally belonged to her husband and son was not given to anyone by her!

When Princess An saw Shangguan Wanru standing there without moving, and the person in front of her had already stretched out her hand for a long time, she couldn't help but remind her: "Wanru, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Wanru came to her senses, quickly took the bowl handed by the people in line, filled a bowl of porridge, and handed it back.

After finishing, Shangguan Wanru said: "Mother, I'm a little tired and want to go back home. Let the servants share the porridge!"

Prince An and Princess An had no objection after hearing this. It was impossible for them to be there for the whole process of giving porridge, as long as they showed some dedication at the beginning.

"Okay, let's go back to the mansion!" Prince An and Princess An gave a few more instructions to the servants, and then left with Shangguan Wanru.

After Shangguan Wanru returned to Prince An's Mansion, she hurriedly walked to her yard and entered the house. She asked the maids not to disturb her on the pretext of resting. Then she closed the door and took out the paper. The article started to read.

The content of the note was also a music score, which meant that although the emperor's grandson was killed, they would definitely avenge the prince and the emperor's grandson, and then left a contact information if she had anything to do with them. , you can write it down in the form of music score and leave it to the shopkeeper of a store called Ruyi Grocery Store.

Zhuan'er's death is a knot hanging in Shangguan Wanru's heart. She is not sure who killed Zhuan'er!

She didn't believe Xiaoer would do this!

No, Shangguan Wanru stood up and decided to ask, otherwise this matter would become a knot in her mind.

In previous years during the Laba Festival, Xiaoer would go out to see how the porridge was being served. This year, because of the cold weather, she felt very much like a penguin when walking, so she didn't go.

After eating Laba porridge, she had nothing to do, so she, Yangliu, Yangmei and others sewed some small rattles and bed bells for the child who was about to be born.

"Princess, the things you prepared are all for the little princess. What if the little prince is born?"

Xiao'er prepared a lot of clothes for the child, but they were all in women's styles. Yang Liu and Yang Mei wanted to make some clothes in boy's styles, but Xiao'er said no. They didn't understand why Xiao'er was so sure. What to do with boys!

"Then let him make do with it for the time being! Baby things are not divided into men and women!" Xiaoer said disapprovingly.

In fact, Xiaoer is so sure that she is giving birth to a daughter, of course because she asked Bai Tian!

Yangliuyangmei is speechless, is this okay?

Just when the two of them were thinking about preparing some boys' clothes privately, the maid outside informed them that Princess Wanru of Prince An's Mansion had arrived.
