The snow fell ruthlessly, but it was not as cruel as some people.

It’s cold under the snow, but sometimes people’s hearts are even colder.

Whether you are warm or cruel depends on your own conscience.

"Do you all understand?" The emperor sneered and asked the ministers present, "My palace has now reduced three meals a day to two meals. Can you continue to eat big fish and meat for me? The people are starving to death outside, and there are only a few lives every day. Can you still eat? They are really my good ministers of the Great Zhou!"

"I am afraid, but I am aware of the crime."

All the ministers crawled down and lowered their heads to the point of not daring to lift them any more.

"Okay, go down," the emperor waved his hand.

The ministers stood up and then retreated together, leaving only Prince Jun here.

"King Jun, come here."

The emperor, who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, waved his hand to King Jun. Prince Jun walked over and stood beside the emperor.

"You said, how do I reward those two little girls? This time, they really helped me a lot."

"Your Majesty, they are not helping anyone," Prince Jun has always been a straightforward person who will not be able to gravitate to the enemy. Even his straightforward nature is to be loved and appreciated by the emperor. Otherwise, a dignified emperor would not marry his cousin to him.

Prince Jun is smart enough, straightforward enough, and of course loyal enough.

"That……"

The emperor didn't understand.

"They just did what they should do, and they could only do this. These two children have good and kindness in their hearts, just like their fathers."

"Okay," the emperor suddenly felt a little sore in his heart, "If all the women in my Great Zhou are like them, then how can I Great Zhou not be strong?"

"Since that's the case..." The emperor thought for a while, then waved his hand, "Come on, get me the four treasures of the study."

Not long after, the most popular Eunuch Qi around the emperor came over, and Eunuch Qi brought the emperor's imperial edict and a plaque.

When Shen Wenhao heard about this, he hurried back.

The thin white face and the sharp voice of the old man Qi finished reading the difficult-to-understand imperial edict. This was the red cloth wrapped around the plaque, and the red silk cloth fell down, with only four words.

The family of loyalty and righteousness, and there is nothing else to reward. There is no way. The emperor is poor. Even the army's food is difficult. If Shen Qingci had not been in his back, the one million taels of silver would have been subsidized every year, the current army would not know whether it was gnawing grassroots or tree bark?

This plaque is better than gold and silver. Shen Qingci is not short of money now, but she is short of other things.

The family of Zhongyi is so good. Her elder sister and brother are all Zhongyi families. No one dares to say anything wrong in the future.

The housekeeper quickly took a small purse and secretly stuffed it into the hand of Eunuch Qi. The ones here were filled with real gold beads. Eunuch Qi weighed the small purse in his hand, and he was familiar with it. After weighing it a few times, he put it directly in his arms.

"My father-in-law, I have also cooked some food at home. If my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, he will use the meal in the mansion."

"No need to worry, just get a portion of what the victims eat outside to the Mid-Archive. After the Mid-Archive has eaten, it is better to go back and report to the emperor."

Eunuch Qi was originally a wise man, otherwise he would not have been able to reach such a position in front of Tianyan.

The housekeeper personally served a bowl of rice and also brought out a steamed bun.

Eunuch Qi didn't dislike him and started to eat. Who had never suffered or suffered any sin? Otherwise, how could he live to his position? If he was not poor at home, he would not be a eunuch. Even if he was a celebrity around the emperor, he would still be a eunuch.

The porridge is cooked very silky, and the steamed buns are also good. It is made of white flour, which is enough to eat.

"Okay!" Eunuch Qi praised the food his housekeeper gave to the victims.

After returning to the palace, Eunuch Qi told the emperor truthfully, otherwise he would be sorry for the bag of gold beads.

"So that's true?"

When the emperor heard this, he was very happy, "Did they really let the people eat these?"

"That's true, the emperor," said Eunuch Qi quickly, "God bless me, Dazhou, my people must have noble people to help me."

"Okay, OK, really good..."

The emperor stood up, and I don’t know how many good words he said this day. He was about to be sick due to heavy snow recently. What he feared most was the corpses all over the capital, and people were dead everywhere. Then later generations still don’t know how to call him a foolish monarch, saying that he was incompetent, causing trouble for the people, suffering, and countless casualties.

The throne of Emperor Zhou is really not easy to be.

He closed his eyes and breathed a lot of relief. He really remembered everything the Shen sisters did today. One day, he would thank them again.

Even if he is the emperor.

The ministers who were scolded by the emperor yesterday also asked the people in the mansion to save some food from their own food. They went outside to pay porridge, and if they didn't take out the food, they would probably lose their black hat on their heads.

The snow took four months, until the fifth month, and the genius cleared. The porridge shed in the mansion lasted for four months. The food in the mansion was small and the granary was empty. Only Wei Guofu has very little silk white flour porridge every day, and salt was added to the white rice porridge. In addition to the smell, it was also very hungry.

Everyone likes to come here, but there are too many people, so no matter what kind of meals it is for every household, the people actually don’t choose. All they want is a bowl of hot soup.

The sky finally cleared up. Shen Qingrong wiped the sweat on her head. It was so cold, but she was busy sweating all over. She was very tired, but she was still very energetic. Even if she was tired, she was glad that she had never left.

She looked at the rising sun like this and finally felt some warmth.

It’s great. This cold winter is finally over. I just hope that the weather will be better next year and that everyone can eat and wear warmly.

She had never felt this way before, but she thought it was after she had been with the victims for a long time, so she knew it.

It's really not easy to live.

It's also difficult to live.
