Liu Qiqi turned to meet the prince's gaze and said, "People in this town are very poor, so it's pretty good to have enough to eat."

The prince didn't say anything and started eating.

Eating chicken nuggets that were bigger than a child's fist, and accompanied by steamed buns that strangled his throat, the prince found it hard to swallow, so he stopped eating after just two bites.

Liu Qiqi was different. She explained while eating, "Eating whole grains occasionally is good for your health."

"Is there still such nonsense?"

"Look at the people who eat and drink all day long. Either there is something wrong here or there, or they are uncomfortable there. Then look at these people who eat whole grains. They are all in better health."

The prince thought it was unreasonable, but it was true, so under Liu Qiqi's coaxing, he ate a steamed bun.

After Liu Qiqi finished eating, she burped with satisfaction.

While touching his belly, he said, "It's so delicious!" Whole grains are very valuable nowadays, and only people in this era think they are not a good thing.

It was not a good thing in the eyes of the prince, and for the poor people, having enough to eat was a luxury.

The prince chuckled, "Why don't I think you are scared?"

evening.

He pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

As a maid, I don't dare to go out of line, I can only do my duty as a maid.

When I thought about the luxurious life they were living in the capital, I suddenly felt that they shouldn’t!

After Liu Qiqi finished eating, she looked at the prince and said, "Don't be like this. With you here, everything will be fine."

When Liu Qiqi heard this, she subconsciously looked at the prince.

"The prince is the prince. If the prince asks me for something, I should give him the face."

Sun Shuo felt that the Crown Princess was bragging, while Yu Dai and Qing Dai felt that the Crown Princess was lying again, and believed that the Crown Prince would not believe it. However, what they did not expect was that the Crown Prince agreed and decided to stay here tonight.

I think it never rains here, the harvest in the fields is not good, and many people are desperate.

Sun Shuo and others ate their steamed buns quietly.

"It stands to reason?" Qingdai's face turned pale, and the prince already believed it.

"That's right!" Qingdai didn't get a definite answer. Thinking of the Crown Princess's past behavior, she definitely wouldn't make a joke about it.

Bring the food and stay by quietly,

The prince looked at the food and had no appetite. He also saw Liu Qiqi eating steamed buns, which were very delicious. Thinking about the people's sentiments that he was exploring today, he still couldn't accept that under the emperor's rule, there were still places that were so poor.

The prince is coming, which means that the emperor has not forgotten them.

Yudai wanted to speak several times, but Chunbi didn't have the courage, so she could only endure it.

Just as I was thinking about it, an old man passed by and fainted from hunger on the road.

Liu Qiqi shook her head, "I have nothing to do with them. When I see them like this, I just feel pitiful. You are different. I will be scared when you are angry!"

The prince came back with a bad look on his face.

The prince glanced at her and said nothing.

"It stands to reason."

Yudai suppressed her worries deep in her heart.

Are you sure that asking for rain in a dry place is not seeking death?

"Don't worry, I've calculated it accurately. There will definitely be a heavy downpour here at noon tomorrow. Then all you have to do is show off, and such a good thing will happen to you."

Liu Qiqi was worried that the prince would not be able to control himself and attack the people, so she had no chance of deliberately trying to gain a good reputation for the prince.

Hearing those words, the prince deliberately let the carriage pass through the crowd. When he saw the sallow and thin people, his heart was deeply touched.

"You counted?"

Yudai's heart skipped a beat.

Because this is an inn, there is not much to eat, and because the people here live a really hard life, they cherish the food they eat.

Mazhi County is a confused official, but the people in Qing County can have enough food and clothing. Looking at this place, everyone looks malnourished, which makes me feel pitiful.

Many people quickly gathered around.

He was a prince and a member of the royal family, and he never lacked food and clothing. Thinking of the child's expression because of a piece of chicken shocked his heart, and because of the old man who fainted from hunger, he decided to see what was going on in this place.

thing.

Liu Qiqi couldn't speak these words, so she could only say them in this way.

Then I saw Sun Shuo's expression was not good, so I knew something must be going on inside.

The carriage was forced to stop.

Some people left their homes to seek refuge with relatives, while others had to buy and sell their daughters just to have a good meal.

After hearing this, Sun Shuo couldn't calm down anymore and tried his best to tell the prince not to do anything stupid.

The prince raised his eyebrows.

Listen carefully, it is the prince who wants to pray for rain for these people.

After walking for a while, I learned from the people that this place has been suffering from drought all year round, the annual grain output is not high, and the taxes paid are the same as elsewhere, which has led to today's situation.

"Yeah." Liu Qiqi felt guilty. Could it be said that the system said it?

After the carriage passed by, Liu Qiqi said, "I thought you would take action!"

Some people scolded God for not opening his eyes, and some scolded the emperor for being stupid and incompetent, not even giving them food and clothing.

The prince hopes so.

The prince did not have their worries. After they stayed at an inn, someone was left to protect Liu Qiqi. He took Sun Shuo and others away.

"The Crown Princess means that as long as the Crown Prince comes forward, it will be fine?"

The prince smiled, "Do you really think I will take action?"

"You go and pray for rain. As long as there is a heavy rain here, their drought will be solved. Then the people here will remember your kindness all their lives. If someone has the vision to give the prince a book of ten thousand people, it will be recorded in the annals of history!

"

The original saying of the system is that the prince is the emperor, and the son of the emperor begs me, so this still has some face.

The prince looked unhappy.

Fortunately, the prince could keep his composure, and when someone took the old man away from him, who was fainting from hunger, and someone enthusiastically gave him a bite to eat, the old man finally came back to life.

The prince was persuaded by Liu Qiqi.

Qingdai asked while pouring tea, "Princess, will it really rain at noon tomorrow?" She saw that the land here was dry and cracked.

Unfortunately, he did not have the courage to speak out about what the prince decided. What Sun Shuo did not expect was to ask Zhao Kai and others who had already left to cooperate.

They heard more foul language.

Hearing this, the people were all excited.

"Believe me, I won't lie to you."

Ask for rain!

Liu Qiqi explained, "I don't blame them. These people are really pitiful. They don't have enough to eat or wear or keep warm. But they are wrong. All this was not decided by the emperor, nor is it God's partiality that deliberately did not rain, causing the fields to be dry and the harvest to be almost non-existent."

.”

The second day.

By the time the prince and Liu Qiqi got on the carriage and were about to leave, their subordinates had already brought the results that the prince wanted.

The prince picked up the wowotou and ate it, but it was still difficult to swallow. Thinking that the people didn't even have this to eat, he felt that it was not so unpalatable.

Liu Qiqi deliberately didn't answer, and leaned over and said, "Prince, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds, do you want to?"

"I'll give it a try!"

Liu Qiqi was still sleeping in the inn when she heard the lively noise outside.

When Liu Qiqi saw the prince going out, she was not worried and just drank tea and read the storybook comfortably.

Liu Qiqi lay on the carriage window, looking at the people outside, sighing in her heart.

This is a big deal to them.

They haven't seen rain for a long time because of long-term drought.

The last time it rained was a long time ago, and that time it only dropped a few raindrops.

If the prince comes, praying for rain will definitely succeed.
