On the sixth day of the first lunar month, more than forty women were standing outside the east door of the palace, all of them looking frightened and uneasy.
They were informed yesterday that they would go to the palace today to receive condolences from the princess.
Almost all of them didn't even understand what condolences meant. Now that they entered the palace, they were naturally uneasy.
The palace was so majestic that all these women remained silent and stood there with their heads lowered, waiting for orders.
After a while, three women walked out of the Dongbian Gate, headed by Lin Jingyu's eldest maid Yun'er.
"The Queen has sent you an audience, so come with me!"
Under the guidance of the other two maids, these women lined up and entered the palace through the Dongbian Gate one after another.
The condolences were held at Yuqiong Garden. While rushing to Yuqiong Garden, the two maids kept telling everyone about the etiquette.
Before that, when these women were waiting outside Dongbian Gate, they had been taught etiquette.
Soon, they arrived outside the Dongbian Gate, where seats were already arranged.
Today is a sunny day, so the seats and benches are placed in the yard, and there is a special seat for Lin Jingyu on the steps leading to the main hall.
Everyone filed in and took their seats under the reminder of the maid, who also showed them how to sit down.
There was silence in Yuqiong Garden. Although the women were uneasy, they could not help but be curious about the palace.
So among these women, the bolder ones quietly raised their heads and looked around.
In Feiyu Pavilion, Lin Jingyu had finished dressing and was walking out of the hall with two maids.
At this moment, Huang Rongrong was also in the palace, and she was seen following behind and said: "Sister Lin, why won't the prince let me go for this matter? He obviously likes me the most!"
Lin Jingyu walked forward and said calmly: "Do you know what the prince likes about you?"
This question stumped Huang Rongrong. What is so important about liking someone?
Although the question was asked, Lin Jingyu did not answer.
Can she tell Huang Rongrong that Zhao Yanxun only likes her beauty and liveliness? The so-called pampering is just someone else's high-end doll.
After walking out of the palace, Lin Jingyu rushed straight to Yuqiong Garden.
"Your Majesty is here!"
As the eunuch shouted, all the women in Yuqiong Garden fell to their knees, and Lin Jingyu crossed the crowd and came to the steps.
After she sat down, at Yun'er's signal, all the women bowed and said, "Kowtow to your Majesty!"
"Excuse me, please take your seats!" Lin Jingyu said calmly, her dignity and majesty made people dare not look directly at her.
After Lin Jingyu spoke, all the women stood up and took their seats according to the previous arrangement.
Today, during this condolence, a batch of living supplies will be distributed to the families of these war dead. All these items have been prepared, but they have not appeared in Yuqiong Garden.
"Everyone, I have summoned you here today to express concern and condolences to you on behalf of the prince..."
"Each of you has family members who died fighting for the Royal Palace. Although they are no longer...but the Royal Palace will not forget them, and the Prince will not forget their contributions!"
These words are all Lin Jingyu's own thoughts, and they can be considered as her sentiments.
If it weren't for these soldiers who risked their lives to fight, there would be peace in Yuanyang today, and she, Lin Jingyu, is also enjoying these results.
Of course, there are very few people in the world who think like Lin Jingyu. Meat-eaters don’t care whether ordinary people live or die.
"Although they are gone, you are not helpless. The palace will always help you!"
After speaking, some people were already wiping away tears as they thought of their lost sons and husbands.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Jingyu began to introduce what the palace has prepared for everyone today.
The supplies are extremely rich, and no one can receive a hundred catties of grain, five catties of dried meat, and some other things.
If there are war dead in the family, there will be a fixed monthly pension, so that the families of these soldiers can maintain their lives.
With today's reward, their lives will undoubtedly improve a lot, not to mention they still have hard-working hands.
Everything was in order under Lin Jingyu's management, which completely convinced Huang Rongrong who followed.
She can eat, drink and have fun, but if she wants to preside over these things, she will only make a mess.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Huang Rongrong was heard whispering: "By the way, the prince said he wanted to give me a little orange cat, why hasn't he given it to me yet?"
Immediately afterwards, she saw her stern face and said fiercely: "It must be that bitch slave Lin Quan, who is deliberately trying to neglect me!"
When Zhao Yanxun traveled this time, he was accompanied by Huo An, while Lin Quan stayed in Yuanyang City, so Huang Rongrong suspected that Lin Quan was causing trouble.
"Go and settle the score with him!"
On the other side of Yongfu Palace, Xue Baojun was sitting in the courtyard.
It was a rare sunny day today, so she came out to bask in the sun. This was what Zhao Yanxun had warned her.
Under the warm sun, Xue Baojun was sitting on a soft couch, with various candied snacks placed beside him.
At this moment, Xue Baoyun was squinting his eyes slightly, listening to Yuzhu telling him everything that had just happened in Yuqiong Garden.
After Yuzhu finished reporting, Xue Baoyun said: "She is a good person, and she talks in one way. I don't know... I thought all these things were given by her!"
Yuzhu did not interrupt. Hou Shiyun on the side took over and said: "These things were given by the prince. Is there anyone who dares to covet this?"
Xue Baojun picked up a piece of preserved fruit and said slowly: "Go to Yuqiong Garden to deliver a message for me!"
After saying this, Xue Baoyun waved to Hou Shiyun, but the latter could only approach cautiously.
After listening to Xue Baoyun's words, Hou Shiyun seemed very embarrassed, because this matter was indeed difficult.
"Mother, I'm afraid..."
Before Hou Shiyun could finish speaking, Xue Baoyun said: "What are you afraid of?"
"I'll ask Yuzhu to accompany you, don't be afraid!"
By asking Yuzhu to accompany him, is this helping him or monitoring him? Hou Shiyun felt even more uncomfortable.
Hou Shiyun had no choice but to go to Yuqiong Garden, and Yuzhu also went with him.
Seeing the two of them walking out of the palace, Xue Baoyun whispered: "How can it be so easy to get the status of this palace!"
On the other side, Hou Shiyun mustered up his courage, entered Yuqiong Garden, and came to Lin Jingyu.
"The princess asked me to deliver a message!" Hou Shiyun said to Lin Jingyu.
It was extremely rude for her to speak like this, but Hou Shiyun could not show any kindness, after all, Yuzhu was watching from behind.
Fortunately, Lin Jingyu is not a fussy person, and Huang Rongrong is not here, otherwise Hou Shiyun will definitely be scolded.
At this moment, Lin Jingyu said calmly: "If the princess wants to say anything, just pass it on!"
I saw Hou Shiyun facing the people below and said slowly: "The princess said that she is not physically able to come to see you, but she is also very concerned about your livelihood!"
"The princess also said that if you encounter any difficulties, you can go directly to the government for help!"
"If the government is unable to do anything, you can also go to the prince's house directly. The prince will not just sit idly by and ignore you!"
After saying so much, what Xue Baoyun wanted to say was all for show, and it was completely out of generosity to others.
But the effect of these words was undoubtedly very good. Everyone was grateful to the princess for giving them such deep concern.
