I give the princess a sip

Chapter 52 ⑤② Donation

In the middle of the night, Gu Lian woke up habitually, opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Mingyu, only then remembered that the two of them had already slept in the same bed.She tucked Qiao Mingyu under the blanket, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again. It seemed that the habit of waking up in the middle of the night could be changed.

She didn't know that after she fell asleep, Qiao Mingyu also woke up in a daze, moved closer to Gu Lian's arms, found a soft place to rub, then put her head back in place, yawned and continued. sleep.

After waking up during the day, Gu Lian had no idea what happened at night. She got out of bed and turned on the heater, only to find that the charcoal fire was almost finished, no wonder it was a bit cold in the morning.Putting on a festive light red jacket and skirt, she went to the dressing table and sat down, and began to choose the hairpin to be worn today.

Qiao Mingyu didn't like serving maids, and neither did Gu Lian.If it weren't for these complicated hairpins, she wouldn't know how to wear them, and she wouldn't let the servant girl serve them before.

Sultan estimated the time and asked Mei Xiang and the others to bring in the little maids who brought water and handkerchiefs, while she went to the kitchen to watch to prevent any mistakes.In fact, there is nothing wrong with it, but Sudan is used to it, and usually does not allow himself to relax, otherwise he feels that his whole body is not good.

Mei Xiang gently handed over the water glass and toothbrush. Many daily necessities have been invented in this era, such as toothbrushes, which greatly facilitate daily life.After quietly brushing her teeth and washing her face, Qiao Mingyu, who was talking excitedly until midnight last night, hadn't woken up yet.

Gu Lian dismissed the little maid and asked Sudan to give her a hairpin.

The little butterfly who just woke up flew out of the warm warm jade box, which was covered with thick layers of soft fabrics and some fresh medicinal flower petals, which Bidie liked very much.Seeing that Gu Lian was wearing a red dress, it shook its wings and turned into a light red color, and landed on the hairpin, very beautiful.

Bringing the young spider and the little snake, Gu Lian basically has "the whole family" together, so he can go to have dinner sooner or later.

"I'll go back home earlier today." Gu Lian said to Sudan.

It would be too much to not go to the dinner, just to have a lunch. It would be better to go to the Gu Mansion earlier, and if you stay for an hour or two longer, the Gu Mansion will look good.

"Your Highness hasn't gotten up yet?" Su Dan handed over the porridge bowl. The green and beautiful Bistem rice porridge looks like a work of art. It is served with a table full of delicious congee and side dishes, as well as a few plates of sweet and salty snacks. rich.

Even though the national treasury is not rich, the silver and rice allocated to the emperor's relatives have not been deducted every year, and Qiao Mingyu's here is even more inexhaustible.In previous years, Qiao Mingyu would donate to subsidize the soldiers, and this year is no exception, even donating more.

Seeing Gu Lian staring at the food on the table, Sudan explained: "This year, more than half of the rice and grain supplies were donated to the border, so the meals will be simpler."

Originally, today's New Year's Eve, the three meals will be several times richer than usual, but today is about the same as usual.It can be seen from this that when the year is over, the luxury level of the three meals a day in this mansion will drop several notches.

It was probably because Qiao Mingyu was stimulated by the massacre of the city yesterday, and directly donated most of the supplies.But these are Qiao Mingyu's things, she decides.Gu Lian felt that one meat, two vegetables and one soup would be enough for the whole family to eat.She doesn't care whether the food is rich or not, as long as she can eat enough, she is satisfied.

"The princess is right." Gu Lian picked up the porridge and drank it slowly, and then carefully ordered Sudan.

After all, the princess has never seen how poor people live. The government's handling of these donations is simply to donate them to the national treasury. But if you really want to benefit the border soldiers, it is not so simple.Not all the things sent to the national treasury will be used on the soldiers, not to mention that the materials allocated to the soldiers will be exploited layer by layer, and I am afraid that there will not be much left in the end.

While the time was still early, Gu Lian explained everything that came to mind first: "Don't touch the brocade in the mansion, find a way to dispose of the other brocades, and replace them all with fine cloth. Use the good cloth to make clothes for the soldiers, and they are not used to wearing it." , After all, they wear coarse cloth on weekdays, so it’s better to change into fine cloth that is more comfortable but not too expensive.” Now that everyone is short of money, they have to plan carefully.

"It's best to have food that fills you up but doesn't hurt your throat." Coarse grains here are cheaper, but the taste is really not that good.Rice is more expensive than wheat, and frontier soldiers happen to be used to eating flour products, so sending wheat is the best.

It's not enough to just say that, Gu Lian thought about it, and went to the study to list each item.

For example, there are some foods that are cheap but can fill you up without eating too much. If you really don’t have enough food, you can use it to fill up.Another example is which medicinal materials are cheap but very practical wound medicines that grow everywhere, but usually they are not paid much attention to.

Many medicinal materials have more than one purpose. However, medical treatment is not developed in this era, and many medicinal materials are even used as ingredients, let alone the second use has been discovered.

Sudan held the piece of paper carefully, but felt that it weighed more than a thousand gold.Qiao Mingyu has been under the influence of Qiao Mingyu for a long time. Although she is a court lady, she has a special affection for the soldiers. She also hopes that they will be able to disarm and return to the fields safely, and not lose their lives in vain because of lack of clothing and food.

After sending Gu Lian to Gu's house respectfully, Su Dan collected the paper and hurried to the main courtyard. She had to inform the princess that it would be great if a copy of the content on the paper could be handed over to the new emperor.

......

Actually, when Gu Lian woke up, Qiao Mingyu was already awake.But she was too embarrassed to get up, so she continued to hide under the quilt and pretend to be asleep.

What I did in a daze last night, I didn't realize it at the time, but now Qiao Mingyu has completely remembered it.Qiao Mingyu felt extremely embarrassed when he thought of how he buried his head in Gu Lian's chest and rubbed it against Gu Lian's chest for a long time.

Fortunately, Ah Lian didn't know.

As soon as Gu Lian left the room, Qiao Mingyu immediately sat up, covering her face and sitting there for a long time.

When she finally adjusted her mood and was ready to face Gu Lian and read a book with her, Qiao Mingyu knew from the little maid that Gu Lian had gone to Gu's residence.

Already went to Gufu!Why are you in such a hurry!

Qiao Mingyu threw the handkerchief for washing her face into the sink, feeling depressed.

She hasn't had breakfast with Ah Lian, nor read a book together, and she hasn't shared her childhood with each other like last night, why did Ah Lian leave!Last night she impulsively exposed the secrets she knew about Ah Lian. It was a pity that she hadn't had time to hear Ah Lian talk about her past life.

Depressed, Her Highness the Princess held a gun and was going to find someone to practice with.

The commander and the others have all gone home for the New Year, and there are only those nursing homes and secret guards who live outside Beijing in the mansion, and there is almost no one to accompany them in fights.

Just at this moment, Sultan came in a hurry.

After explaining why he came, Qiao Mingyu waved his hand.She knew that since Gu Lian had written this, she didn't care about spreading it. If she really didn't want to spread it, she would tell Sultan specifically.

Sultan breathed a sigh of relief when he got the permission, and was about to turn around to deal with the paperwork when he suddenly remembered that the princess hadn't had breakfast yet.

"Your Highness." Sudan looked at Qiao Mingyu disapprovingly, "Why are you playing with guns before breakfast?"

Qiao Mingyu looked at the gun in his arms, and found that there seemed to be no excuse to deny it now.

Sudan refused to let go: "Why do you always not take your body seriously? If you continue like this, the servant will have to ask Miss Gu to look at you more."

Thinking that Gu Lian would watch her eating, sleeping and resting regularly under the entrustment of Sudan, Qiao Mingyu immediately shuddered, inexplicably recalling the appearance of Gu Lian stepping on the sixth prince's neck a few days ago, especially domineering.From that point of view alone, Gu Lian is not easy to deal with.

For some reason, Qiao Mingyu imagined Gu Lian staring at her eating with a whip.

Then, Qiao Mingyu trembled again, as if... a little scary...

"I'll go eat right away." Qiao Mingyu turned around and walked to the small hall.

Satisfied, Sudan rushed to the Palace Master with rice paper in his arms.

On the other side, Gu Lian was helped out of the carriage by Mei Xiang, straightened her dress, and walked into Gu's mansion slowly with the four little girls.

"Miss is back." The servants in the mansion hurried up to greet her, but they always looked at her strangely.

Gu Lian was unmoved, as if he didn't notice it.

The butler came to lead the way, but the other servants could not keep following, and they stopped after entering the second gate.Seeing that Gu Lian was walking away, Xu Shi started talking in a low voice: "I thought that the eldest lady was going to be a concubine, but in the end..."

"It seems that everyone's thinking is wrong. The eldest lady is the same as before, and she is just a companion."

"No!"

"Speaking of which, the current Holy Majesty is really not close to beauty, and the empress with the highest rank in the palace is just a noble person..."

When turning a corner, Gu Lian tilted his head slightly, and took a look there.

The group of people quietly looked at Gu Lian while talking gossip, and when they met Gu Lian's meaningful gaze, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing that Gu Lian entered the Hanging Flower Gate and walked around to another road, they couldn't even see their backs, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.Touching his head, a cold sweat broke out.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, did not dare to discuss anything, and hurriedly dispersed.

"Even if the young lady is just accompanying her, she is probably more imposing than the empresses in the palace..." I muttered in my heart, but didn't dare to say anything else.

Originally, those nobles had at most one big court lady, two small palace ladies and three small eunuchs, and the rest were servants who cleaned up. Gu Lian was much more respectable than them.The four maids around her were joined by the new emperor with a big wave of his hand, and they will marry with a lot of style in the future. They can be regarded as servants from the royal family.Su Dan was afraid that she would be bullied, so he sent more maids and eunuchs to follow, and even the chief eunuch sent a few over to help Gu Lian with errands.

At first, Gu Lian refused, but she didn't give up until Sudan smiled and said that the emperor was going to make her a princess, and she couldn't have no one around her.

"How can I become the princess?" Gu Lian frowned slightly.

Isn't this nonsense, how can these things be sealed indiscriminately.
