The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 496 Congrats
(Everyone, yesterday's easter egg was not exciting enough, so few people liked and commented!)
"Have you heard? The concubine gave birth to a son for the prince!"

"You still need to tell me? Who in Yuanyang City doesn't know?"

"Our lord has a son, which is a great thing. Let's have a good meal tonight!"

"Hearing what you said, it seems that I owed you before!"

"Hey, I'm so happy!"

In the south of Yuanyang City, the wife is cooking outside the kitchen while the husband is chopping firewood by the window.

The conversation between the two of them is also a microcosm of Yuanyang City today. The fact that Xue Baoyun gave birth to a king's heir has replaced Chengtian Grand Ceremony as the headline.

Just as the couple were discussing, they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is knocking on the door at night!"

Mumbling in his mouth, Chen Liang put down the ax in his hand, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

The door was opened with a "creak", but there were two men standing outside the door, carrying two large frames on long poles on their shoulders.

Chen Liang knew these two people, they were residents in the alley next door, and they often went out to work together in the city.

"Old Zheng, what do you need from me?" Chen Liang asked.

The man standing in front reached out his hand to touch the frame and said, "I brought you some benefits!"

"Benefits, what benefits?" Chen Liang rubbed his forehead and asked.

The man on one side explained: "The queen concubine gave birth to a king's heir, and there are successors in the palace. The government said that they want to have fun with the people, so they took a lot of things from the government treasury and distributed them to the people of Yuanyang!"

In addition to the warehouses controlled by Wangfu treasury management, each prefecture and county also has its own treasury, which is convenient for the rapid deployment of materials.

Even at the royal mansion level, if materials are to be distributed to the prefectures and counties, they are distributed to the prefectures and counties first, and then distributed to each household by the prefectures and counties.

"My lord has won a heir, so we should celebrate it!" Chen Liang nodded and said.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw that the man in front took out a piece of dried fish and scooped out a liter of flour from the pocket in the frame.

"Take it, this is something from the government office!"

Dried fish can be taken directly, but the white flour has to be packed with something.

"Sanniang, take out a bag!"

"What?"

"Pretending to be white noodles, the government government issued it!"

After a while, Chen Liang's wife Sannian took out a large bowl and took a liter of flour.

"You guys cook, we have to go to the next one, but I don't know if they have gone out!"

Hearing this, Chen Liang couldn't help laughing: "It's lunch time now, they will be at home!"

The man carrying the frame smiled and said, "You're thinking about it wrong. We walked all the way just now, and five out of ten families are not here!"

"What did everyone do?" Chen Liang was puzzled.

"Most of them went to the palace to congratulate the prince!"

Hearing this, Chen Liang's doubts disappeared, and he couldn't help laughing: "It should be, I'll go and have a look too!"

The man carrying the frame walked away and said at the same time: "Haha, you still have a conscience!"

Seeing the two walking away, Mrs. Chen asked with a bowl of white noodles, "Master, are we really going to the palace?"

"Go, why don't you go? Don't forget that the prince has saved our lives. Although there is nothing to give away, it is always appropriate to go to congratulate and kowtow!"

Upon hearing this, Chen's wife turned around and walked into the house, saying at the same time, "I'll go with you!"

"You've gone, what about the noodles in the pot?" Chen Liang smiled.

"Come back and drink the batter!"

When Chen Liang took his wife all the way to Longqianfang, the streets here had become extremely crowded.

Some came here to congratulate and kowtow with Chen Liang, and some people left after congratulating, the crowds were very lively.

After much difficulty, Chen Liang and his wife squeezed outside the gate of the palace, but they could no longer move forward when they were ten feet apart.

Further on, there are servants from the Yuanyang government office. Today they specially dispatched extra manpower to maintain order here.

And go further inside, guarding the palace guards, they stand upright without looking sideways.

"Fellow folks, the prince already knows your thoughts, so go back... go back!"

It could be heard that the head catcher was almost hoarse when he shouted, but no one paid any attention to him.

Ordinary people should kowtow and congratulate, anyway, if they don't cross the cordon set up by the government officials, the two sides will be in peace.

At this moment, in Yongfu Palace of Wangfu, Xue Baoyun was leaning on the bed, and there was a cradle beside her bed, in which lay a sleeping baby.

Looking at her child full of doting, Xue Baojun smiled and said: "Hong'er finally fell asleep, those noises outside, don't wake him up!"

After two days of recuperation, Xue Baoyun's body can be seen recovering, and now his complexion is much ruddy.

On the side, Polygonatum is holding a spoon, carefully stirring the chicken soup in the bowl.

I only heard Yu Zhu say: "My Lady gave birth to a heir, and the entire Yuanyang Mansion celebrated together. The common people all came to congratulate My Lady. This is a good thing!"

Xue Baoyun wasn't really angry either, in fact she enjoyed the situation very much, what she just said was just "Versailles".

While walking towards Xue Baojun, Yuzhu said: "Perhaps in the next few days, the common people will congratulate you, your empress, you should take more care of me!"

"If you really feel upset after listening to it, you can go and report to the prince, and ask the prince to order no one to come over!"

Xue Baojun shook his head and said: "After all, the common people also have good intentions. Not only can we not drive them away, but we have to express our gratitude!"

As soon as this idea came up, Xue Baoyun couldn't help but said: "Yuzhu, find some small things from our palace, and distribute them to the common people at the gate of the palace!"

"Your Majesty, let's drink the soup first!" Yuzhu came to Xue Baoyun's bed.

Taking the gold inlaid jade bowl, Xue Baojun stirred it a few times with the spoon, and said, "You can do this yourself!"

"Yes, servant girl, let's go!"

As the main concubine, Xue Baoyun is the hostess of the entire Longyou, so she naturally has to show the bearing of "mother Yi Yijun".

The people came to congratulate and thank Zhao Yanxun more, if she came to show kindness at this time, she would definitely create a virtuous impression in the hearts of the people.

There are a lot of rewards in Yongfu Palace, but there are not many distributed to the people in large quantities. Yuzhu can only choose a batch of sugar, pastries and dried fruits, and these are the most suitable for distribution.

With four maids, Yuzhu walked out of Yongfu Palace, walked out of Yong'anmen all the way, and then went to the gate of Wangfu.

The guard Xiaoqi officer who is on duty at the gate of the palace today is Su Chuyun who was transferred back from the front line two days ago.

After listening to Yuzhu's explanation, Su Chuyun ordered his guards to let them go, so that Yuzhu and the others could walk out of the palace gate.

After recruiting the police from the palace outside, and explaining Wang Hao's intentions, the latter is of course willing to help.

"Fellow folks, upon hearing that you came to congratulate me, the concubine is very grateful for your kindness...so I specially ordered a few girls to bring some gadgets to return the greetings to you all!"

"There are not many things, just to let everyone win a lottery. Whoever grabs it will be lucky!"

After the shouting, a large number of people were kneeling outside, all of them straightened their heads and looked ahead.

The reward from the concubine was naturally what the people at the scene wanted, and this lottery was enough to keep them going smoothly for a whole year.

After finishing his speech, the head catcher ordered his subordinates to take the tray from Yuzhu and others, then grabbed the contents of the tray and threw it into the crowd.

There was a sudden commotion at the scene. If you were lucky, you picked up something, and then thanked the princess loudly.

"Look, lady, I grabbed a bag of candy!" Chen Liang opened the small cloth bag in his hand and showed it to his wife with a big smile.

Chen's wife followed with a smile and said, "Then you haven't thanked your mother for the reward!"
