Even though Shen Qi knew that this was an era like the ancient times, she had actually never experienced it herself. In her previous life, she had never lacked money, and in this life, she had always been at the Shang Shu Manor. Although Lady Xu did not like her, but to be honest, she did not suffer much.

Hearing the words of the servant girl and the Wang Ma combined with the movies and TV movies, although she couldn't feel that kind of cruelty, she could still imagine it. She was not a saint, so she didn't have the ability to help everyone, but doing her best could still be considered a peace.

When Duke Xiang returned, Shen Qi immediately ordered people to bring a bowl of ginger soup to him, "Duke, drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold." Seeing that Duke Xiang had raised his bowl to drink, he turned around to instruct the purple bamboo, "Zi Zhu, give it to Yan Yi, Yan Er will also give him a bowl of ginger soup."

Yan Yi looked at each other and cupped his fists in thanks, "Thank you, esteemed wangfei."

Duke Xian didn't say anything, he only glanced at Shen Qi, "Has Your Highness ever eaten?"

King Xian waved his hand. "Never." After thinking about it, he added, "Yan Yi is useless."

"Let the kitchen cook three people's worth of noodles. Just use the chicken soup from the morning. Slightly spicy, so they can eat faster." When Shen Qi heard that they did not even eat anything and were rushing to instruct them, the column suddenly remembered and immediately ran towards the kitchen.

Shen Qi, on the other hand, accompanied King Duanren into the inner room. They helped him change out of her clothes and boots, which were drenched, "Where did the Duke go today?"

"Let's go to the outskirts of the capital." King Duanren did not hide it either.

"Is it serious?" Shen Qi asked after taking off King Duanren's socks and instructing him to get some hot water.

"Several houses collapsed, and a few trees were pushed down. Because it was night time, it hurt people." King Duanren's tone was solemn.

Shen Qi did not know what to say, this kind of natural disaster was always very powerless. Seeing Duke Xian frown, Shen Qi consoled him, "Your highness, no need to be too worried, it will always be alright. You must believe in the tenacity of humans, you will always be able to lead a life of hardship."

After feeling sorrowful, he continued to work hard to live his life. He glanced at Shen Qi, and realized that he could always see the details that others had overlooked.

He reached out to stroke her hair, causing Shen Qi to suddenly raise his head and look at her in puzzlement. Seeing her smile, he almost thought that his eyes were wide open as he looked at her, and she immediately retracted her smile to look at him. His whole body felt unnatural as he quickly lowered his head.

The snow continued to fall for two days, crushing more and more houses, and then the village was used as a unit to place the people in the shrine.

After the snow had fallen, the capital began to prepare porridge. Most of them were either wealthy merchants or aristocratic families. Some of them wanted to establish a good reputation, while some truly wanted to do good deeds. The scene was quite spectacular.

No matter what kind of mentality they had, as long as they were willing to come out and do good, they would be very welcoming. At least, they would be able to get along well.

"Ask about the rules of the manor and ask for the opinion of the prince." Shen Qi did not immediately agree, she felt that it would be better to just ask. She had never done this kind of thing before, she always had to find a model for it, many things were not as simple as it sounded.

Recently, King Duan had been busy going in and out, and even his meals had been taken care of in the study room, so Shen Qi was not sure if she should disturb him with this matter, so she asked the Jiang mama for his opinion.

indicated for her to skip the formalities and asked, "I see that there are a lot of noble families outside to provide porridge. What are the rules in our house in the past years?"

When Jiang mama heard that it was this matter, he smiled and said, "Reporting to Princess, every winter the eighth prince's mansion provides porridge. Prince is usually too busy and has to be handed over to the servants to handle.

Since there was such an example every year, she did not need to worry about it. Therefore, Shen Qi smiled and said: "I understand, then just look at it the same as last year.

The Jiang mama nodded his head in agreement. When Lian Qiuwei and the others heard that, they knew that the wangfei would not appear, and did as she said before, so they said, "Wangfei, why don't you let this servant go with the Jiang mama. This servant has yet to experience this sort of thing."

Shen Qi knew that they were trying to earn her reputation, but she actually didn't need it at all. However, she wouldn't let their good intentions go, she smiled and nodded, then turned to ask Jiang mama: "Let them pass and won't cause you any trouble, right?"

Jiang mama quickly waved her hand. "Royal Concubine, what are you saying? No, no, I can't wait for Miss Lingtou to come and help."

Therefore, Shen Qi smiled and instructed them: "Alright, you guys follow the arrangements when you leave, don't leave randomly, when the time comes, you have to follow closely behind the palace maids and guards, and don't get into conflicts with others."

Lingtong smiled and said, "Princess, please be at ease. This servant will save it."

Thus, this matter was decided, and Lingtong really wanted to go out and take a look, so she excitedly followed Jiang mama.

When came back to the Cang Lan Yuan during the night with the King, he told him about it. King Duanren nodded, he did not say much, as he did not care about this at all.

He thought that things would be fine like this, but the few people who went to prepare the porridge on the second day actually came back with injuries. Shen Qi was immediately enraged when he saw them, "What's going on?"

There were some abrasions on her hands, but they were not serious. A few of the guards had blood on their heads, so they quickly called for a doctor to treat their wounds.

"Hurry up and treat your wounds. Tell me what happened." Shen Qi was a little angry at the moment. He went to prepare the porridge properly but brought it back with injury, one look was enough to tell that it was the victims causing trouble, but this kind of situation was enough to give people a headache.

Shen Qi was more worried about their injuries so she asked: "How are they?"

"To reply to Princess Hua-Yang, these are only superficial wounds. Although they look serious, they're actually fine. They'll recover in two days."

"That's good. You guys take care of them." It was still okay in the winter, the wound wasn't easy to infect, Shen Qi was more or less relieved.

The people below heard the orders of the wangfei and all agreed that it was true. In the end, they still had to get to the bottom of this matter.

At that moment, she was waiting for the situation over there. When she heard that nothing serious had happened, she let out a sigh of relief. Back then, such a terrifying scene had been blocked by these guards, otherwise, who knew what would have happened to her and the other maids.

"Alright, tell me what happened." Shen Qi turned and said.

When the guards went to maintain the order, those people actually started resisting without a care. They said that it was these officials who were plundering the fat and fat people's ointment that had caused them so much trouble that they didn't get any food to eat. At this time, they came out to make porridge.

Some people even said that these guards relied on the power of their masters to bully the common people and then made a move. The guards didn't dare to actually make a move and were afraid of hurting these people, but when they saw that our people didn't dare to do anything to them, they became bold. In the end, they came over to snatch the rice porridge.

"The servants were protected by these guards, but they weren't hurt, but the guards outside suffered greatly and were beaten up in the end. The servants finally rushed out with great difficulty. Princess, you don't know that those people are crazy, but they are frightening." While saying this, Forge's face was still full of fear.

"I understand. Go back and have a good rest to calm your nerves. When the prince comes back, let him handle this matter. It feels like someone is purposely inciting the commoners." Shen Qi frowned and said.

"This servant understands. This servant will take her leave first." After saying this, Lian Qiong went back to her room to rest.

Shen Qi thought for a bit, then called over the guards to ask. As guards, they were always more sensitive towards this kind of thing, and as expected, bodyguard Liang's words confirmed her thoughts.

"Reporting to Princess, this subordinate realized that there were a few people among the victims who had purposely shouted to incite the people to revolt, but when I wanted to bring them back, they cunningly started to push the people in front of me. This subordinate was afraid of hurting the innocent people, so I could only watch as they ran away, but Princess, rest assured, this subordinate has already memorized the person's appearance, and will definitely bring him back."

"It's been hard on you. Pass on this concubine's words. The guards on duty today will each receive an extra month's worth of money and leave this concubine's personal storage." Shen Qi felt that since the other party was already so desperate, it was time for him to reward him a little.

Guard Liang happily cupped his fists. "This subordinate thanks wangfei on their behalf."

Shen Qi waved her hand, "The few injured ones will be served, and the money will be given out from the officials."

Guard Liang's face was filled with joy as he went to inform Shen Qi of the good news, but Shen Qi was actually deep in thought.

Sometimes, the people made people feel helpless. Ignorant and compassionate, at the same time, they also hated it. As long as there was a little bit of encouragement, they could immediately run to the front and be used as guns, causing a lot of trouble.

Shen Qi sighed, this matter was no longer within her control, she would leave it to the Duke.
