The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

Soon, it was time to distribute lunch at noon.

An old lady in tattered clothes was holding a bowl of porridge in one hand and half a bowl of cabbage in the other, with a big steaming white bun on top.

The dishes and the quantity didn't look like there was a food shortage at all, except that the porridge in his hand was no longer the same as before, which wouldn't fall over if he put his chopsticks in it.

This level of food is better than what they eat at home.

The only thing that made people feel out of place was that a piece of inner clothing was exposed from inside her tattered clothes. It looked like it was made of fine silk and was completely out of place with the tattered clothes she was wearing.

The old lady looked around and smiled when she saw a group of women not far away. This was her opportunity.

She put on a sentimental look, took a few bites of the food in the bowl, and drank the rice in the porridge, leaving only a few pitiful grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl.

She walked into the crowd, "You guys are here! Then I'll eat here too."

The old lady brushed off the snow on the stone with her hands and sat down. Just as she was about to start eating, she looked at the food in her hand and couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

"Ugh!"

The old lady sighed, and when she saw that no one paid any attention to her, she sighed a few more times.

Finally, someone noticed her strangeness. The woman next to her, wearing a bright red flowered jacket and a small green scarf on her head, said, "She has a big face. What's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?"

The old lady in tattered clothes seemed to be hesitant to speak. She wanted to say something, but when she looked around and saw so many people, she swallowed her words back.

Seeing her like this, the woman in the flowery jacket sensed something was amiss, so she asked, "Auntie, look at you. If you have something to say, just say it. Is there anything you can't say now?"

The other women also became interested. They had been having a very hard time recently, and it would be nice to finally hear some gossip.

"That's right, that's right. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. We're already like this, what else can't we say?"

The ladies were all cheering, hoping that this ragged lady would explain herself clearly.

This is also one of the few leisure times they have had in these days.

The ragged lady looked around, waved to the other ladies, and whispered, "Let's get closer. I heard some incredible news. I'm only willing to share it with you because we have a good relationship."

Several aunties put down their bowls and chopsticks, looked curious, gathered together and talked in a low voice.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong in the past two days?"

The ladies frowned, thought for a moment, and recalled their lives over the past few days. Then they shook their heads and said, "I don't see anything wrong. The worst thing is this snow. It's so heavy."

One of the ladies was brave enough to speak up and voice her thoughts.

The ragged woman lowered her voice and asked, "Take a look at your food and think about whether there have been any changes during this period of time."

After the ragged man said this, the women looked at him for a long time and actually figured out something.

"This porridge seems to be a lot thinner than before. It was so thick that you couldn't put a chopstick in it and you had to put a piece of sweet potato in it. Now not only is the sweet potato gone, but even the amount is fixed. If you want to get more, they won't give it to you."

"Yes, yes, yes. You won't give it to me even if I go to get it."

Another woman squatting with her arms folded across her chest also spoke up, "You guys didn't give me that, which is good enough. The other day, when I went to get some food, the waiter served it to me with a smile, but just when I wanted to leave, she refused."

"They insisted that I eat right there, otherwise they'd suspect I was wasting food and hiding it. I stuffed that huge bowl of sweet potatoes into my mouth, and I didn't eat anything all day."

The ragged woman nodded. "So you've noticed it too. Let me explain briefly. We're running low on food in our tents, and the food we're given is getting smaller and smaller. We're about to go back to the days of starvation."

Everyone fell silent. That period was a nightmare for them, and they didn't want to live that kind of life again.

"So that's really the case. There's been this kind of gossip these days, and I thought it was a hoax."

"A few days ago, I heard someone stole food and froze to death. If there really wasn't a shortage of food, the fine wouldn't be this severe."

Several women looked at the meals they had ordered today and said, "It seems that the amount of food is indeed less than before, and even the porridge is much thinner than before. It seems that this news must be true.

After they confirmed the authenticity of the news, they began to worry about their lives in the coming days.

"Then what should we do? Won't we have no food to eat again? Then we will have to live a life of hunger again. I don't want to live that kind of life anymore. It's too uncomfortable. I have children and elderly people to take care of!"

"Yeah! We have both."

Several women began to panic again. They anxiously stepped forward and held the ragged woman's hand, "Do you have any solution?"

The tattered woman saw the anxious look on their faces and her eyes curved slightly. "Actually, if you hadn't asked me, I definitely wouldn't have told you. But now that you've asked, I do have a solution."

"But I have to stop here. If you go out and tell me, I won't admit it."

Several women nodded in understanding. "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."

The ragged woman gathered their heads together and said, "Before I came here, I had a relative who was a city gatekeeper. I heard that the Princess of Chaoyang bought a lot of supplies and stored them at home. I heard that she had all kinds of good stuff. It took several days just to transport the supplies."

The old lady looked wretched and spoke in a very low voice, as if she had paid a lot and told a huge secret.

"Don't tell anyone about this, or I won't admit it."

The woman in tattered clothes looked frightened and kept looking around, afraid that someone would discover the secret she was telling.

When everyone saw her like this, they all believed her, "So what should we do now?"

The tattered woman looked around and, seeing no one, dared to speak. "We don't have any, but she does. We can call a few more people and go get some together."

One of the timid women shrank back in fear, "But what if someone finds out?"

The woman's eyes flashed with viciousness, and her voice was filled with malice. "If we get caught, the worst that can happen is we'll apologize. Besides, we're in the midst of a major disaster right now, and she's hoarding so many supplies, hoping to profit from the national disaster. Who knows who will be the unlucky one if this gets out?"

The women looked at each other and scattered like birds and beasts.
