(Everyone, yesterday’s easter egg was not exciting enough. Not many people liked or commented on it!)
"Have you heard? The princess has given birth to a son for the prince!"
"Do you still want to tell me? Who in Yuanyang City doesn't know?"
"Our prince has a son, which is a great thing. Our family will eat better tonight!"
"From what you said, it sounds like I was indebted to you before!"
"Hey, aren't I happy?"
In the south of Yuanyang City, the wife was cooking outside the kitchen, while the husband was chopping firewood outside the window.
The conversation between the two of them is also a microcosm of what is happening in Yuanyang City today. The fact that Xue Baojun gave birth to a princess made the headlines when the immigration replaced the Chengtian Ceremony.
While the couple was discussing, they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is knocking on the door at night!"
Muttering in his mouth, Chen Liang put down the ax in his hand and walked towards the courtyard gate.
The door opened with a creak, and there were two men standing outside the door, carrying two large frames on their shoulders with long poles.
Chen Liang and Chen Liang knew each other, they were residents in the alley next door. They often went out to work together in the city.
"Old Zheng, do you have a problem with me?" Chen Liang asked.
The man standing in front reached into the frame and said, "I'm bringing you something good!"
"Send a favor, what benefit?" Chen Liang asked, rubbing his forehead.
The man on one side explained: "The princess gave birth to a royal heir, and the royal family has a successor. The government said it wanted to enjoy the happiness with the people, so it took a lot of things from the treasury and distributed them to the people of Yuanyang!"
In addition to the warehouses controlled by the royal treasury, each prefecture and county also has its own treasury to facilitate the rapid deployment of materials.
Even at the royal government level, when supplies are distributed to various prefectures and counties, they are distributed to each prefecture and county first, and then distributed to each household by each prefecture and county.
"Your Majesty has got an heir, it's time to celebrate!" Chen Liang nodded and said.
Just as he finished saying this, he saw the man in front of him taking out a dried fish and scooping out a liter of white flour from the pocket in the frame.
"Take it, this is what the government gave you!"
You can hold the dried fish directly, but the white flour needs to be packed in something.
"Sanniang, bring out a bag!"
"What are you doing?"
"Pretending to be a white-faced person, it was given by the government office!"
After a while, Chen Liang's wife took out a large bowl and took a liter of white flour.
"You guys go ahead and cook, we have to go to the next house, but I don't know if they have gone out yet!"
Hearing this, Chen Liang couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's lunch time now, they will be at home!"
The man holding the frame smiled and said: "You are wrong about this. Just now when we walked all the way, five out of ten houses were not there!"
"What have people been doing?" Chen Liang was puzzled.
"Most of them went to the palace to congratulate the prince!"
Hearing this, Chen Liangliang's doubts disappeared and he couldn't help but smile: "That's right, 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 people walking away, Chen's wife asked, holding a bowl of white noodles: "Master, do we really want to go to the palace?"
"Go, why don't you go? Don't forget that the prince has saved our lives. Although there is nothing we can give as a gift, it is always appropriate to go and say congratulations and kowtow!"
Hearing this, Chen's wife turned around and walked into the house, saying at the same time: "I'll go with you!"
"If you go, what should you do with the noodles in the pot?" Chen Liang said with a smile.
“Come back for the batter!”
When Chen Liang and his wife rushed all the way to Longqianfang, the streets here had become extremely crowded.
There were people who came here to congratulate and kowtow with Chen Liang, and there were also people who had already finished congratulating and leaving. The crowd was extremely lively.
With great difficulty, Chen Liang and his wife squeezed outside the palace gate, but when they were ten feet apart, they could no longer move forward.
Further forward, there are the officials from the Yuanyang government office. Today they specially sent more people to maintain order here.
And walking further inside, there are guards from the palace guarding the palace. They stand upright and don't look away.
"Fellow folks, the prince already knows what you think. Let's all go back... Let's all go back!"
It could be heard that the caller's voice was almost hoarse, but no one paid any attention to him.
The common people should kowtow and congratulate as they should. Anyway, if they don't cross the cordon set up by the government officials, both sides can be considered in peace.
At this moment, in the Yongfu Palace of the Royal Palace, Xue Baojun was leaning on the bed. There was a cradle beside her bed, with a sleeping baby lying in it.
Looking at his child with adoration, Xue Baoyun said with a smile: "Hong'er finally fell asleep. Don't wake him up due to the noise outside!"
After two days of recuperation, Xue Baojun's body can be seen recovering, and now her complexion is much rosier.
On the side, Yuzhu was holding a spoon and carefully stirring the chicken soup in the bowl.
Just listen to Yuzhu say: "Your Majesty gave birth to a royal heir, everyone in Yuanyang Mansion celebrated together, and the people came to congratulate your Majesty. This is a good thing!"
Xue Baojun was not really angry. In fact, she was enjoying this situation. What she said just now was just "Versailles".
While walking towards Xue Baoyun, Yuzhu said: "Perhaps in the past few days, the common people will congratulate me, so please be more considerate of me!"
"If you really feel upset after hearing this, I can report it to the prince and ask him to give an order not to allow anyone to come over!"
Xue Baoyun shook his head and said: "After all, the people also have good intentions. Not only can we not drive them away, but we must also show my gratitude!"
As soon as this idea came up, Xue Baoyun couldn't help but said: "Yuzhu, find some trinkets from our palace and distribute them to the people at the gate of the palace!"
"Empress, let's drink the soup first!" Yuzhu came to Xue Baojun's bed.
Taking the gold-inlaid jade bowl, Xue Baoyun stirred it a few times with a spoon and said, "You can handle this yourself!"
"Yes, slave, go right now!"
As the principal concubine, Xue Baoyun is the mistress of the entire Longyou, so she naturally has to show the magnanimity of "a mother of one county".
The people came to congratulate and thank Zhao Yanxun more often than not. If she came to show her kindness at this time, it would definitely create a virtuous impression in the hearts of the people.
Yongfu Palace gave many gifts, but not many were distributed in large quantities to the people. Yuzhu could only choose a batch of candies, cakes and dried fruits, which were most suitable for distribution.
With four maids, Yuzhu walked out of Yongfu Palace, all the way out of Yongan Gate, and beyond was the gate of the palace.
The guard flag officer on duty at the palace gate 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 Yuzhu and others out of the palace gate.
After calling in the royal police from outside and explaining the princess's intention, the latter was of course willing to help.
"Fellow folks, the Princess and the Queen learned that you are here to congratulate you, and are very grateful for your thoughtfulness... so I specially ordered a few girls to bring some gadgets to return gifts to you!"
"There aren't many things, I just want you to get some luck. Whoever grabs it will be lucky!"
After the shouting, a large number of people were kneeling outside, all with their heads straightened and looking ahead.
The princess's reward was naturally what the people at the scene wanted, and this bonus was enough to keep them going smoothly for a whole year.
After finishing his speech, the catcher ordered his men to take the tray from Yuzhu and others, then grabbed the items on the tray and threw them into the crowd.
The scene suddenly became commotion. Someone who was lucky enough to pick something up thanked the princess loudly.
"Look, madam, I grabbed a bag of candies!" Chen Liang opened the small cloth bag in his hand and showed it to his wife with a big smile.
Chen's wife laughed and said, "Then you haven't written about the reward from the empress!"
