The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.
Chapter 189: Giving Porridge
Just as Xiao Xian was about to say something, he saw Xi Xi rushing over in a flurry, carrying an enormous plate.
Xiao Xian quickly rushed forward to steady the plate that was about to be knocked over.
Little Yu Xi blinked her bright eyes at Mu Yun Chao and asked earnestly, "Second brother, if I give all of these to them, will they be able to eat their fill?"
Mu Yunchao looked down at the pile of oddly shaped, dark fried eggs in her arms. Although they didn't look very appealing, at least they weren't burnt. He figured these must be the batch she had carefully selected that she thought were fried quite well.
Mu Yunchao reached out and took the plate, gazing intently at the fried eggs on it, and said softly, "Hmm, that's good, Xixi did a great job."
Hearing her second brother's praise, Xiao Yuxi's eyes instantly brightened, and a happy smile spread across her face. "If it's not enough, Xixi can make some more!"
After all, she herself had experienced hunger, and the feeling of being starving was truly unbearable, so she knew very well how miserable it was to be hungry. Now that she could fill her own stomach, she naturally didn't want others to go hungry.

"The Duke of Mu's mansion is distributing porridge again!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! You'll miss out if you're too late!"
"The Duke of Mu's mansion is truly generous; they even put minced meat in this porridge."
"It wasn't just the Duke of Mu's mansion; the Xie family also set up a shed nearby to distribute porridge."
"I heard that this was all thanks to that cousin from the Duke of Mu's mansion. The second young master of Mu listened to her and that's why he stepped forward to distribute porridge."
"That cousin from the Mu family is truly beautiful inside and out."
"That's right, and the Mu family has minced meat in their porridge every day, without fail."
"The Mu family is truly magnanimous; no wonder they produced an empress."
"Even the government hasn't started distributing porridge yet. Isn't it a bit too much for them to do this now?"
"You're obviously not from the capital. The Mu family is second only to the emperor; who would dare to cause trouble for them? They'd be asking for trouble."
"By the way, I seem to have heard before that Young Master Mu and Princess Yunle had a relationship, but now I hear that Princess Yunle is engaged, but the groom is not Young Master Mu?"
"Although Princess Yunle has the title of princess, the gap between the Ye family and the Mu family is too large."
The discussion immediately fell silent.
Princess Yunle's gaze swept lightly over the murmuring refugees, ignoring what they were saying, and instead turned to Xiao Yuxi, who was placing minced meat next to the porridge stall.
It was the height of summer, the sun was blazing, and the heat was unbearable. Even with a maid constantly fanning her, she was still sweating profusely and her face was flushed.
Little Yu Xi blinked her bright, sparkling eyes, holding a small spoon, and carefully scooped spoonfuls of minced meat into each of the elderly women holding bowls. The women, seeing the piles of food in their bowls, were moved to tears and quickly pulled their granddaughters to a shady spot, feeding them spoonful by spoonful.
Princess Yunle slowly walked up to Mu Yunchao, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes looking at him with gentle calm. Mu Yunchao put down the spoon in his hand, gesturing for the servant beside him to take it, then stepped to the side, gracefully and slowly curtsied, and said softly, "Princess Yunle."
"Young Master Mu, this is some of my dowry that I saved up, which I used to buy some grain. Although it's just a drop in the ocean for the huge number of disaster victims, I want to do my part. I absolutely have no other intentions, please don't misunderstand." Princess Yunle personally directed her servants to neatly place loads of white rice on the ground, and then looked at the crowded disaster victims around her.
In fact, the Moon Kingdom had been suffering from various natural disasters for several years. However, this heatwave was exceptionally severe. The Mu family had prepared more than a dozen huge blocks of ice to lower the temperature, but in less than half an hour, all the ice blocks melted and needed to be replaced.
Worse still, many of the disaster victims' houses spontaneously combusted and burned to ashes, a truly horrific sight. Princess Yunle knew that the Ye family would not generously donate to help the victims, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease. She lived a life of luxury, while countless people were displaced and homeless.
From a young age, she was well-versed in classical Chinese literature and understood the responsibilities and duties of a person. Faced with the current predicament, she could not stand idly by. Therefore, without hesitation, she took out her dowry, which she had saved over many years, hoping to provide some assistance to the disaster victims.
"Your dowry..." Upon hearing this, Mu Yunchao couldn't help but frown slightly. This was the first time he had gazed at her so intently.
Princess Yunle's eyes gleamed as she looked at the displaced people in the capital. She said softly, "It's alright. I've already spoken to Prince Hua, and he doesn't care about these things. I don't need too many material possessions."
Princess Yunle's face beamed with a joyful smile, as if radiating warm sunshine. She continued, "Being able to contribute even a little to the Yue Kingdom is what makes me happiest. Second Young Master Mu, may I try distributing porridge?"
Mu Yunchao took a step back and noticed that Princess Yunle was not wearing her usual gorgeous dress today, but rather an outfit with her sleeves and trouser legs tightly bound, obviously prepared for the convenience of working.
Princess Yunle smiled and skillfully served bowl after bowl of hot porridge to the disaster victims, carefully instructing them, "Put it on slowly, it's a little hot."
The disaster victims naturally recognized Princess Yunle. Just a few days ago, she had stood there in a magnificent dress, watching them for a long time from afar.
At that time, her expression was cold and stern. They initially thought they had an unpleasant odor that had offended the princess, which explained her displeasure.
Unexpectedly, she came to understand their plight that day, and now she is so kind and gentle as to personally serve them porridge. This transformation has brought immense joy and gratitude to the disaster victims.
He is truly a great philanthropist.
Looking at the old man in front of her who had lost half an arm, Xiao Yuxi's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She held them back and scooped him a full spoonful of meat.
She heard it from her second brother: the Yue Kingdom had recently lost three cities. These people were from those cities; they had also taken up arms to defend their country, but now they were crippled and could no longer wield weapons.
They're all like this, and my second sister is on the front lines. Will she get hurt too?
