Chapter 68: The Prince's Mansion Secretly Helps Refugees
"The Prince's Mansion doesn't have much money, so we can't provide relief to the refugees every day, but we can give those children a bowl of porridge every day, so that they won't starve to death."
"......ah?!"
Zhou was startled, and then she was stunned, "But why didn't I see the porridge stall?"
Jade smiled mysteriously.
Then, he took Zhou into the Prince's Mansion.
She did not take Zhou to the main hall, but took Zhou to the back door.
I saw the back door was wide open, and the children were gathered here in a line, holding a broken bowl in their hands.
They either wolfed down the drink or savored it carefully, and licked the bowl clean after finishing it.
Those who didn’t get any stared at the porridge pot in front of them.
Some of the children were afraid of the wealth of the Prince's Mansion. They all looked very scared and a little shy. But when they saw Zhou, Feicui and the others, their eyes were bright and full of gratitude.
After going there, they went to the kitchen not far away, where Chen Zhining was.
Chen Zhining's belly was already very big. She was expecting twins soon, so at this moment, her belly looked a little scary.
She could only hold her belly with her hands. The light pink skirt was deliberately made loose so that it was not difficult to wear and did not squeeze her flesh.
Zhenzhu, who was standing beside her, supported her waist because she was worried that she might get tired, and then she said, "Princess, be careful."
"...I have followed your instructions and added some eggs, minced meat, and lard to the porridge to make it as nutritious as possible."
“Try to make it as thick as possible so that the children won’t go hungry.”
Chen Zhining nodded, and then asked: "How long can we continue to distribute porridge?"
"It will be enough until the New Year."
"I have already reported the money that the masters of various families sent to your majesty and the queen according to your instructions. Your Majesty, please keep all of it and use it for the porridge distribution."
Chen Zhining nodded, then looked up at Zhou and called her over with a smile, "Mother is here."
"Mother, come with me. Can you see if the third pot of porridge is cooked well?"
Zhou followed her hesitantly and went to the back door together.
Feicui and others were holding a large pot filled with porridge behind them.
When the children saw them coming together, they dispersed sensibly and let Zhou go to see the porridge.
They are not like those older refugees who have strange thoughts.
They were all clean children who were used to being hungry and had never eaten white rice, so when Chen Zhining gave them porridge, they were very happy.
And every day, there is a bowl with delicious eggs and meat in it.
Although there is not much in a bowl of porridge, it can make them healthier and more nutritious.
Chen Zhining was a very nice person. She was of noble status and was extremely kind to them. She gave them food and, if they were sick, she would pay for medicine for them.
And that's all they thought about.
They were very grateful to Chen Zhining in their hearts. They only thought about Chen Zhining's goodness and the porridge and rice.
Their purpose is to eat the porridge.
So they have always been very well behaved.
Zhou took a look at the porridge. Although there was only one bowl, it was cooked for a long time and was very thick. If it was saved a little, all the refugee children in Kyoto could eat it until the New Year.
......
After looking at the kitchen, the two of them came to Chen Zhining's bedroom surrounded by maids and servants.
Chen Zhining handed Zhou a bowl of tea. Zhou took a few sips and when she felt warm, she put the tea down and took off the white rabbit fur inlaid with silver headband that was warming her head.
After the maid beside her put it away, Zhou couldn't help but say, "...No wonder you took all the silver.
Before, my mother wrote to you and asked you not to accept it, but you insisted on accepting it. My mother thought you were short-sighted. "
"But I didn't expect that it would be used to distribute porridge."
Chen Zhining nodded and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world."
"If we sell all those gifts together, we'll get a total of 67,000 taels of silver."
"My daughter can use the 7,000 taels of silver to give out porridge until the New Year, and there will even be some left over. During the New Year, we can also add some eggs and more nutritious food to improve their meals.
"These seven thousand taels of silver... can feed these refugees until the beginning of next spring."
"In the spring of next year, they will all be able to survive, and their parents will naturally take them to open up wasteland all over the country, so that they can have food to eat."
"Even if there's nothing to eat, there are still some wild vegetables to dig up."
"No food will grow until spring."
The remaining 60,000 taels of silver were reserved for other uses.
After all, it is not only the children in Kyoto who need help, but also the parents of these little refugees.
But if we help everyone, it might be too much of a focus for a while, and others might be reluctant to do so.
Therefore, Chen Zhining planned to wait until the two children in her belly were born, and then take advantage of the good times to distribute food to the refugees in Kyoto for a period of time.
This is natural and others won't say anything.
Also, these refugees won’t have any other thoughts.
If we help more refugees, they are all elderly and may have some treacherous thoughts.
For example, if the relief that they have been providing for ten days or so is suddenly stopped, they will probably feel resentful towards Chen Zhining, so it would be better not to provide relief at all.
If you are nice to others for a day or two, they will be grateful to you.
But if you are nice to others for ten days and then suddenly become nice to them, they will resent you instead.
Because you are nice to others, they will think it is their right and it becomes a habit.
After telling Zhou about his plan, Zhou nodded and smiled with relief. She gently patted Chen Zhining's hand.
"...I don't know how much you have suffered in the royal family for so long that you can even think of these things."
"As a mother, I feel guilty just thinking about it."
"It's because of your mother that I didn't protect you well in the harem and let you make a name for yourself. I've been so deliberate in accumulating reputation for myself and the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Chen Zhining shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
I learned this from watching TV dramas, she can't just say that to me.
But...it seems like it’s not a bad idea to let Zhou think this way, so that she can rise a little.
The last time Zhou brought those people from the pharmacy to her place, Chen Zhining felt very surprised.
Obviously, Chen Zhining knew that Zhou had awakened.
