The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The next day, Chu Musheng went out early in the morning and started a new busy day.

Xu Ke was not idle either. She changed into the clothes of an ordinary woman.

Her hair was simply tied into a bun, secured with only a silver hairpin.

Her face was not made up, but she still looked lively and playful.

Anxiang was also dressed similarly to her.

She just had her hair in a bun like a girl, with a light blue velvet flower in her hair.

Dingdang held the young master in her arms and kept giving Anxiang instructions.

"You have to keep an eye on the young lady and make sure she's safe!"

Anxiang nodded repeatedly, very confident.

"Don't worry, Sister Dingdang! With me here, the young lady will definitely be safe."

Xu Keke packed up, took his son from Dingdang's arms, and kissed him.

"My dear son, practice walking well at home. I'm going out of town to see if the refugees need any help."

The young master grinned at her kiss and held her hand tightly.

"..mother..."

"Mom will be back later to play with you."

Xu Keke handed the child to Dingdang again and walked towards the front yard with Anxiang.

Sheng Er and his guards were already waiting beside the carriage.

There were two carriages, the front one was for the princess and her maid.

The carriage behind was filled with some clean old clothes.

Seeing Xu Keke and Anxiang coming out of the mansion, Sheng Er hurriedly helped to pull open the car curtain.

Manager Yao and Nanny Wang escorted Xu Ke and the others out of the house and followed them to ask questions.

"Princess, you are going out of the city to take a look. Does the prince know?"

Xu Keke shook his head slightly.

"The prince has been too busy recently, and I haven't had time to inform him of this matter yet."

Manager Yao looked worried and exchanged glances with Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang took Xu Ke's arm and said with some concern.

"Princess, why don't you inform the prince first to avoid him worrying."

Xu Ke patted Nanny Wang's hand.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. Aren't Anxiang and Sheng Er here with us? I'm just going to check out the situation first.

After reading it, go and discuss with the palace maids and the Queen Mother to see if you can do your bit for the refugees affected by the disaster."

Anxiang patted her chest and made the promise.

"Mammy, I'm here!"

Sheng Er also straightened his back.

He couldn't remember when he became the princess's exclusive chief guard.

But that’s fine too.

The prince regards the princess as more important than himself.

I can be entrusted with the important task of protecting the princess.

This shows how much trust the prince has in himself.

Manager Yao and Nanny Wang were helpless.

The princess is the mistress of the mansion. No matter what she wants to do, they can only persuade her but not stop her.

Well, I can still watch it go.

Watching the princess get on the carriage, Anxiang followed closely behind.

Sheng Er shouted "Let's go".

The carriage slowly drove out of the city, and the guards on tall horses followed closely behind.

Along the way, Xu Ke opened the car curtain and looked at the streets of the capital.

The streets are crowded with people.

There are shops on both sides, and shouts can be heard one after another.

There is a wide variety of goods and the scene is extremely lively.

The taverns and teahouses were packed with distinguished guests, and the noise of young men could be heard from time to time.

It is still as prosperous as ever.

Little do people know that while some people are enjoying themselves in wealth and luxury, others are struggling with natural and man-made disasters.

I heard that Prince Ning went south to provide disaster relief. I wonder if my good sister Li Yueran feels reluctant to see him go?

They stopped at the door of a steamed bun shop and bought all the big steamed buns in the shop.

After walking a little further, I saw another bun shop and bought some.

When leaving the city gate, Xu Ke saw her cousin-in-law, Xie Su's husband Yuan Tao.

Yuan Tao was hurrying along with a team of soldiers guarding the city. He was surprised to see the carriage with the emblem of Prince Sheng's Mansion.

Xu Keke stuck his head out and shouted.

"Hello, cousin-in-law."

Upon hearing the voice, Yuan Tao hurried forward to salute.

"Cousin, are you leaving town?"

Xu Ke nodded.

"I heard there are a lot of refugees outside the city, so I went to see if I could help. What's this, brother-in-law?"

Yuan Tao sighed.

"I just came back from outside the city and was about to report back to the government office. The situation outside the city is not optimistic. Many refugees have arrived today."

Xu Ke frowned.

"Brother-in-law, what are the details?"

Yuan Tao lowered his voice.

"There's a shortage of food and medicine, and the refugees are suffering terribly."

Xu Ke's heart tightened.

Urging Sheng Er to speed up, the carriage galloped towards the refugee area outside the city.

Xu Keke and his group soon arrived at the refugee area.

All I saw were rows of makeshift dwellings scattered around.

But as the number of refugees increased, the makeshift shelters became clearly insufficient.

Their pale and thin faces were full of sorrow.

Some people were dressed in rags, holding hungry children, and the adults were barefoot.

Xu Keke came to the porridge distribution center and frowned even more when he saw the thin porridge.

"How can such porridge fill your stomach?"

Xu Keke couldn't help but say.

The officer in charge of distributing porridge looked embarrassed.

"Madam, food is really limited."

Xu Ke turned around and said to Sheng Er.

"Sheng Er, give the steamed buns we brought to the officers and have them chop them up and mix them into the porridge."

Sheng Er brought the steamed buns, but the officer was not very reassured.

"Excuse me, which mansion are you from? We dare not give food of unknown origin to the disaster victims."

Sheng Er's face darkened and he shouted loudly.

"This is the princess of Prince Sheng's mansion!"

When the officer heard this, he saluted immediately.

Xu Ke waved his hand.

"Don't delay, get to work."

The steamed buns were chopped up and put into the porridge, and there was finally a glimmer of light in the eyes of the refugees.

At this time, a little boy ran over, tugged at Xu Keke's clothes and said:

"Sister, my sister is sick, can you save her?"

Xu Keke was about to follow the little boy when Sheng Er stopped him.

"Master, wait for me to go over and take a look. The prince has arranged for the imperial physician to treat the patient here. Please do not approach the patient."

Xu Ke thought of her son at home and stopped, determined not to get infected with any disease.

"Then go quickly and save the child."

Sheng Er quickly followed the little boy.

Xu Keke and Anxiang stood a little further away and continued to check on the refugees.

Not far away, I saw a few old people huddled in a corner, their clothes thin and worn.

Xu Ke can tell Anxiang.

"Give the clothes we brought to those elderly people."

Anxiang nodded and took the clothes to distribute.

At this time, another group of people came this way.

One of the women quickened her pace when she saw the license.

"But sister, why are you here?"

Xu Keke blinked and saw that it was her good sister Li Yueran. The person behind her was the Duke's wife, right?

"Sister Ran, why are you here?"

Xu Ke asked in surprise.

Li Yueran walked forward and held Xu Keke's hand.

"We heard there were so many refugees outside the city, so my mother and I wanted to come and do our part."

The Duke's wife smiled and nodded to Xu Keke.

"The princess is kind-hearted and came here in person. It is admirable."

Xu Ke hurriedly returned the gift.

"Thank you for your compliment, Madam Duke. This is my duty."

The Duke's wife nodded and had the food brought to the government office responsible for providing food to the victims.

The official hurried forward to receive it, carefully wrote down the amount of grain, and then bowed and said.

"Thank you, Madam Ningguo, for your generous help. With this food, the victims will have more security."

The Duke's wife nodded calmly.

"I hope that everything can be put to good use so that every disaster victim can have a bite to eat."

Li Yueran was also speaking on the side.

"Yes, sir, please take care of this matter carefully."
