A Huan and Cui Mingde know me very well.After four years of confinement, once I came out, I was indeed a little impatient. After being provoked by Cui Mingde and caressed by A Huan, I calmed down, thinking that I was still thinking about the fact that Wu Chengsi and Wu Youning were both princes and prime ministers just now. Unknowingly, he was sweating again——Wu Chengsi is both a prince and a prime minister, and he is still seeking to be the crown prince. Everyone can see that he is too powerful to be tolerated by his mother, but who said this? You can say anything, but I can't say it.

When my mother ascended the throne, the clan status of Zhu Li was abolished the next year. Originally, there were not many princes left, but now they are all reduced to Dukes of the state and county. Consecrated by rank, Gaozong, Taizong, Gaozong's daughters, apart from Princess Anding and me, so far only Princess Qinghe is still in the capital, but she has also lost the title of Princess and was renamed Mrs. Qi, and Li Dan changed her surname to Wu and lived in the East Palace , although he is called the heir of the emperor, he is neither a prince nor a king. His status is embarrassing and he is cut off from the outside world. My mother has been so guarded against Li, and it is impossible for me to be an exception.

Even if I am the youngest daughter of her direct relative.

Even if she has taken the initiative to release me.

My mother let me out not only because she felt pity for not seeing each other for a long time, but also because she needed to let me out.Cruel officials can be used but not long-term, and soldiers can be relied on but not long-term. Mother knows this in her heart, and she released me from the court without saying a word, and made me appear in front of everyone in a fair manner, just to announce this to the court. a fact.There is no shortage of people in the court who can see through the needles. Once the mother releases such news, someone will naturally do it for the mother.It doesn't matter who is the villain at the wind, who is the old minister who has Li's heart in his heart, and who is the careerist who is first-handed and opportunistic. The important thing is that the superior threw a stone and wanted to The hawks and dogs who want to go deep into the grass to pick up rabbits and chickens must follow closely-as if I just came up with the idea of ​​the canteen, no matter if it is a clean person like Song Foyou, or a villain like Feng Yongchang who is greedy for money They will do their best to do this for me in order to please me.

I figured out my mother's intentions, and I wanted to do something according to her intentions, so I was busy arranging housework, getting to know people, and analyzing the situation as soon as I went out, but I forgot that I had just been released from confinement and had such a sensitive blood relationship relation.

I am both my mother's daughter and Li's daughter. Since my mother is guarding against Li Dan and the Li clans, it is impossible not to guard against me.

Although I am out of Yeting, I am not free yet, that's why Cui Mingde and A Huan came here to remind me.

But words like "forbearance" and "hibernation" are easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.

Not to mention the precariousness of A Huan and Shouli, nor the different treatment I received because of the change of dynasty, but only to say that during the four long years of detention, I was not allowed to move freely, and I dare not even think about it The restraint is enough for me to suffer enough.

But until now, I can't help myself.

I suddenly felt a little depressed, stopped talking to others, and waited silently until the banquet was over. It was already dark, and Cui Mingde sent me outside the palace gate. I wanted to tell her a few words, seeing that she had With a somewhat unfamiliar face, I didn't know what to say, I swayed on the chariot, and was about to set off, when a palace official ran out in a panic, seeing that I was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: " The sage is thinking about the princess, the princess will go with my concubine, don't let the sage wait."

I saw that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a charming face, a charming voice, and very sharp eyes, so I glanced at Cui Mingde, and Cui Mingde said indifferently: "This is an imperial enshrinement, the same as the fifth rank Xu Changsheng."

Xu Changsheng smiled and said: "The princess will call my concubine to live forever." But he led me straight to my mother's bedroom, and then entered, my mother had already washed and was wearing a middle coat, lying on the couch with one hand propped on her side, listening to Wan'er reciting poems , saw me coming, and slowly sat up: "Come here." Called me to her side, sat next to her: "There are some good poems today, you were not there when they passed the poems in, let Wan'er read it to you stop."

When I heard the word "you're not here", my heart tightened, and I half-smiled, "I saw them grilling chicken wings yesterday, and I couldn't resist eating a few more. My stomach feels uncomfortable, and I haven't recovered until today." Said while pretending Going to cover my stomach, my mother saw it, and reached out to pat my stomach. Xu felt that the fat on it was comfortable to pinch, so she kneaded it a few more times, and then said with a smile: "Listen to them, what are you doing at home? 'Dining hall', do you want people from top to bottom to eat together?"

I laughed and said: "I see that they have to wait for someone to deliver their meals every day, which is really troublesome, and sometimes the journey is long, and sometimes they are delayed due to work, and they can't eat hot food. , we’ve decided on a place, and we’ll all eat together—this matter is only a preliminary discussion, and it’s not settled yet, so Auntie will know?”

Mother snorted: "You haven't been home for a long time, and as soon as you got home, you went around looking for someone to build a house, and went to inquire about people's business of banquet meals, and made a lot of noise, and everyone knew that Princess Changle had made something new. Several people have mentioned it to me, and even the ministers have said something cryptically, saying that you are like this, it is out of respect and dignity—how did I not know?"

Sweat broke out on my head, I hated these old-fashioned and meddlesome people in my heart, so I could only stand up hastily, bowed and shouted: "Aunt..."

Mother raised her hand, stopped me from finishing my sentence, then led me back to sit on the couch, and smiled softly: "You don't have to worry, I have already refuted them, this is your housework, what do you want to do, It's just what to do, I just think this method is novel, so I want you to tell me, what is the method of this cafeteria."

Seeing that she was not angry at all, I sat back slowly and said after deliberation: "It's not a new thing, but it turns out that I go around to get food. There is always someone who has more of you and less of me, or hot and cold. It is inconvenient to manage the disputes, so I thought, why not use the same container—that is, the object for holding rice, and clearly divide the amount of meat, how much vegetarian, how much rice, and how much millet, and call them all. Everyone eats in one place, so that not only can you avoid a lot of bribes, but also save them from seeing people order food and shortfalls. I have already calculated that the government originally gave corn, flour, wheat, money and silk to cook for the next month, three to five Meat can only be eaten once a day, but now everyone has meat and vegetables for two meals a day, and the estimated cost is not much different. Here is just a letter from them to do these things. You can take a look at it.”

With Song Foyou here, the management of the mansion was very orderly, there were not many corruptions, and the cost was almost the same. It is not so much because of the canteen, but because of the layoff of many people.The most important thing I want is to make my family eat better. In the past, in the university cafeteria, I could eat meat every meal, but I always felt that I was not full. Now these young and middle-aged people without grades, regardless of gender, have a daily meal. The daily food is only bread, noodles, millet and wheat, and the servants can ask for some leftovers from their masters, but the farmers and farmers really have nothing.I'm not purely kind, I also have the intention of buying people's hearts, and I was banned for four years, and these people are also worried about me. If they don't comfort me, it really can't be justified.If my princess mansion is run as a company, improving the food is the easiest and cheapest way to improve the happiness of employees

My mother took the poorly written letter from her own hand, glanced at it and handed it to Wan'er, who read: "First, choose the open space in the southwest of the residence to build the canteen..." Looking at me, I said with a smile : "The people below are not very literate, and the writing is not good. If Auntie wants to know, I will make another copy of the Jincheng Yulan."

The mother waved her hand and said: "Forget it, if you don't do anything, it will be done before you see it. After you finish it, if you can get rid of the disadvantages of corruption and deduction, let's talk about it."

I was just wishing that she would not pursue this matter, so I respectfully agreed, seeing my mother seemed tired, I politely resigned, my mother said: "It's getting late, it's inconvenient to drive, you can live in the palace as well." After a short pause , and said: "you probably don't know that after the Yuan Dynasty was changed, your sister and Saburo both asked for the surname Wu, and I have approved the request."

I laughed and said, "I wanted to take my mother's surname a long time ago, but I have been recuperating from illness, so I didn't have the chance to list it. Now that I'm well, I ask my mother to give my son the surname Wu."

My mother glanced at me with a smile, deliberately refused to give me an answer, and just said: "If you are really sincere, go back and make a good report. I will see the watch and think about it."
