    0054 Disaster Area (1)

    “Take your time, we still have a lot, don’t rush.” Hua Xuan handed the spoon in her hand to a servant, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves. She looked at the endless queue, and her eyes couldn’t help but feel sore.

    “Miss, let’s find a place to sit down!” Fang Fei helped the tired Hua Xuan sit under the tree. In fact, she didn’t understand why Hua Xuan bothered to come here to do hard work. Didn’t she just plan everything?Why bother to give out porridge to the poor in such cold weather?

    Fang Fei felt sorry for Hua Xuan’s weak body, so she covered Hua Xuan’s body with her cloak. Anyway, she was a martial arts practitioner, so the cold was nothing to her.Fang Fei gently rubbed Hua Xuan’s arm and jokingly said to Hua Xuan: “Miss, look at how funny the Ninth Prince has been lately. Whenever he sees your shadow, he hides anxiously, like a mouse seeing a cat. Doesn’t he usually like to cling to Miss? Haha! Miss, what method did you use to make him change so much?”

    Hua Xuan leaned in Fang Fei’s arms. After hearing Fang Fei’s words, she smiled slightly in her heart.Could it be that she wanted to tell Fang Fei that it was because she slept with Li Yibai and Li Yibai felt guilty about her, so he had been keeping her closed for the past few days?

    When Hua Xuan thought about that crazy day, she thought about thousands of situations, such as in romance novels, where Li Yibai disappeared after she woke up; or some ridiculous situation where he would be responsible for her and marry her.She was thinking of countermeasures in her heart, but in the end Li Yibai just hugged her tightly, crying and telling her not to leave.

    Why!As the saying goes: Men don’t shed tears lightly. This cry made Hua Xuan’s heart turbulent. There were no tricks or resistance, and she could only let Li Yibai hold her like this.

    Looking back on Li Yibai’s life, it is actually quite sad. As a concubine from a well-known family, her mother was sent to the palace because of family interests. She was often bullied because of her cowardly character and lack of favor.When he was five years old, his mother finally couldn’t bear such an insulting life and hanged herself in front of Li Yibai. This caused Li Yibai to have a childhood shadow. After all, he was a prince. In order to protect himself in the palace, Li Yibai could only pretend to be crazy and live a stupid life. Just like a kite, no matter how high you fly, if the master needs you, you must come back. To the emperor, Li Yibai is just an idle chess piece.

    Hua Xuan felt that Li Yibai and she were the same kind of people. They both pretended to be crazy and lived their lives in this era, but she was a little luckier than Li Yibai. She was now free from the restrictions of the Prime Minister’s Office and could do what she wanted to do, but Li Yibai couldn’t. His fate was in the hands of the emperor.She felt pity for the same fallen person in the world, so Hua Xuan didn’t know how to face Li Yibai. Since he chose to escape, she could just pretend that nothing happened.

    Hua Xuan felt happy when she saw the ragged people holding hot porridge.In order to prevent Fangfei from getting entangled with Li Yibai’s issue, she changed the subject and said, “Do you still have much money left now?”

    “Huh?” Hua Xuan suddenly changed the subject, and Fang Fei couldn’t react. She didn’t dare to tell her. After all, she had been with Hua Xuan for so long, and she understood that Hua Xuan had her reasons for not telling her.So Fang Fei immediately replied seriously: “If there is liquid funds, there should be about five or six hundred taels of gold. Thanks to the foresight of the lady, we bought disaster relief materials after the incident. Otherwise, we would definitely be busy now.”

    “How is the business of Huage and Luye Pavilion these days?” In fact, Hua Xuan has no idea about coins of this era. She only knows that things in this era are of high quality and low price. Five taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of five to live for a year, so according to this era, she can be regarded as a little rich woman.

    However, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Looking at the suffering people in the disaster area, she felt mixed emotions. After all, where can such a situation exist in the 21st century? Most people have enough food and clothing. Even if there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, the government will provide funding, but what about here?The officials are all lining their own pockets. Without her funding, I am afraid that this capital will be turned upside down and this dynasty will soon be destroyed.

    “The businesses of Hua Ge and Luye Pavilion have increased their prices according to the wishes of the young lady, and are operating normally. Especially these days, because the third prince is going to marry Hua Yingying, most of the ladies in the capital have come to order clothes. Miss, you are saying it is strange. There have never been so many people coming to order clothes for the wedding of any prince or prince in the past. Why have so many people come recently? Is it because of the third prince?” Fang Fei looked at Hua Xuan’s red-clouded face, sheI feel that Hua Xuan’s body is much better, she is not so afraid of the cold, and even her complexion is much better.

    Hua Xuan smiled sarcastically and shook her head. She looked at the victims sympathetically and said sarcastically: “Haha, Fangfei, when did you become so naive? Those dignitaries just don’t want others to look down on themselves and don’t want to be associated with the poor victims. Of course they will spend thousands of gold to buy some hypocritical things to highlight their status. It’s all ill-gotten wealth anyway. It’s best for us to use it for disaster relief.”

    Hua Xuan felt the cold wind blowing, she closed her eyes, with a smile on her quiet face, she asked vaguely: “How is the situation over there with my husband? Counting the days, my husband should be back by now!”

    “Miss is so wise. Lan Mingzi said that His Highness is preparing to come back. After Your Highness saw what the lady gave, he kept praising Lan Mingzi as a talent from heaven.” Fang Fei looked at Hua Xuan who was taking a nap. She felt that Hua Xuan was carrying too many things on her shoulders. She could only help Hua Xuan share the burden, but Hua Xuan still had to make the final decision on many things.
