Princess Consort Is No Pushover

The first victim who brought the porridge ran to the corner in excitement. As soon as he ran to the corner, he was excited to drink the porridge when he suddenly saw that the porridge in the bowl was yellow and there were many small stones mixed in it.

He immediately walked towards Gao Yang and asked, "My lord, why is this porridge yellow and why are there so many stones in it?"

He just finished asking, and the other people who brought the porridge also asked, "There are also a lot of stones in my porridge, and there are a few worms. It's disgusting. What's going on?"

"This porridge is too dirty. Is this kind of porridge safe to drink? My lord, is this the porridge sent by the empress?"

The people who received the porridge in front started asking questions with their bowls in hand.

When Gao Yang heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

He had already thought of his words.

He looked at everyone in embarrassment, and sighed, "Everyone, please be safe, the empress is very concerned about everyone, she is afraid that everyone will be hungry, so she told me to serve the porridge well. But I'm sorry, I really can't do anything, Because there is no good rice on the market. We need a large amount of rice, and we can’t buy that much good rice. Even these old rice, I bought them at a high price! I also want everyone to eat good rice Rice, but a clever woman cannot cook without rice. Due to the locust plague in the north last year and the flood in the south of the Yangtze River this year, there is no grain harvest. There is no good rice on the market. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the grain and oil store to ask. There is no other way, please bear with me.”

When everyone heard this, the doubts in their hearts were dispelled.

They hurriedly said, "So that's it, it turns out that there is no good rice on the market, it's not that the empress is trying to lie to us!"

"Just this old rice, someone bought it at a big price. In this famine era, it's not bad to be able to buy this old rice. This is the whole heart of the empress for us. We must not let her down. What about the old rice Already? Let’s clear out the sand inside and remove the bugs, so they can still be eaten!”

"Yes, let's get rid of the sand, it's still edible!"

"That's right, we've all fallen to the point of eating Guanyin soil, what else do we choose? It's good to eat this old rice, come on, everyone, drink it quickly, don't waste such good food!"

As the people spoke, they randomly picked the sand in the bowl, held the bowl, and gulped down the porridge.

They were really hungry, even if there was sand in the porridge, they still ate very well.

Seeing that these ordinary people believed it, Gao Yang had a look of complacency.

These ordinary people are so stupid, they are played around by him like dogs.

If he fooled around casually, they would be grateful to the queen, so innocent.

In the study room of Prince Li's Mansion, Chu Xuanchen was sitting on a chair reading a book when Mo Li walked in.

"My lord, my subordinates found out that Mrs. Wei asked her guard Gao Yang to transport the money they embezzled to her villa. She also asked Gao Yang to buy rice noodles with one hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief, but Gao Yang only spent For 20,000 taels, I bought a batch of old rice with worms. The rice was full of sand, and Gao Yang used this kind of rice mixed with sand to give disaster relief to the people. However, the people were deceived by him, thinking that he could not buy good rice. They all ate rice mixed with sand, and were grateful to the empress!" Mo Li reported.

When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily, "It's unreasonable! I thought Mrs. Wei was just greedy for money. People eat this kind of rotten rice?"
