Chapter 4133 The Emperor’s Uncle’s Favor
The child was very happy to see that she was finally willing to eat: "Did you know that in our great Zhou country, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who don't have enough to eat. Throughout the year, they may only be able to eat such a bowl of white rice during the Chinese New Year."
"So many people?" Qian'er was surprised.
"Yes," the child said, "When I went to the south, I met a lot of refugees and homeless people on the road. They could even peel off the bark of trees and eat them."
Qian'er was stunned.
She rarely goes out, or in other words, goes out to see the world outside Kyoto.
She knew there was suffering in the world, but she had never seen it with her own eyes.
At this time, listening to the children talking, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Let her realize that all of that is not something far away, but a real tragedy that is happening right now.
The child continued: "My wallet was stolen while I was on the way. For two months, I relied on Mr. Shui Yi's charity to fill my stomach."
Qian'er was surprised: "Really?"
"Shui Yijun was also very mean at that time and deliberately tried to mess with me. For a while, I could only eat roasted sweet potatoes once a day. Later, I was finally able to eat a bowl of white rice. It was simply the happiest thing in the world. Sister, you don't know A bowl of rice like this that you despise is a delicacy that many people can’t even dream of eating.”
Qian'er's nose was sore and she sighed: "I'm not only pretentious, but I also don't know the sufferings of the world. Baby, I'm far inferior to you. Do you see what I've done to myself?"
"Sister, I'm not saying this to make you blame yourself. It's just that we are princesses of the Zhou Dynasty and are supported by the people. We must cherish this food."
"I see."
This time, Qian'er finally ate the bowl of rice seriously.
Su Tan was so happy that he quickly brought another bowl of soup.
Qian'er took the soup and was about to drink it when suddenly she heard the maid come in and say, "Princess, the consort is here."
"How dare he come." The child snorted.
"We beat him up, how can he not come to our door?" Qian'er drank the soup slowly and said to Su Tan, "Let him come in."
The child said: "Why should I see him?"
"Some things should always be said face to face. Avoiding them is not the way to solve the problem." Qian'er put down the soup bowl and sighed, "Fortunately, Niu Niu is not at home today. If you make such a fuss, the children will see it. It’s just pitiful.”
The child said: "Let Niuniu stay with the emperor's sister-in-law during this period. Niuniu also likes to be there and has sisters to play with. The emperor's sister-in-law will not treat her badly."
Qian'er smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor's brother and his wife will spoil her."
"Niuniu will not be spoiled."
"You don't know, whenever she enters the palace, those little princesses and princes have to stand back. Her little girl doesn't know anything, so she dares to sit on her uncle's lap and refuses to get off. Once, the emperor brother couldn't bear to say She was so strict that she even carried her to court."
The child laughed loudly: "Brother Huang, has he ever done such a thing?"
In the eyes of everyone, the emperor is a person who puts national affairs above all else.
Who would have thought that he would go to court with a little girl in his arms, and even his own biological daughter would not be treated like this.
The child was very sorry and wanted to see what it was like.
Qian'er saw what she was thinking and warned her: "Don't encourage Niuniu to do bad things when you go back. It was just one time last time. How many imperial censors went to Zhezi to complain about this matter. It made it seem like the country was about to be destroyed."
"Why bother with those pedantic scholars? They deserve to be scolded by their mother."
The child waved his hands, not paying much attention.
While the two sisters were talking, the maid had already led Li Zhongci in.
