what?
The fifth princess couldn't believe it, "Seriously? The emperor is really here?"

The palace servant nodded vigorously, and Fan Shuang urged, "Princess, please go out to greet her. It would be bad to be rude."

The fifth princess, who had recovered her senses, responded and left the palace to greet Qin Shumin with a face full of surprise.

Although Qin Shumin was also the royal brother of the fifth princess, the former emperor and the empress treated Qin Shuhuang, Qin Shumin's two brothers and sisters differently from the common children like them.

When they were young, even though they both went to school in the palace, the masters had different requirements for Qin Shuhuang, Qin Shumin and other princes and daughters.

When the studies ended on one day, the other princes and princesses returned to their respective mothers' palaces, but Qin Shuhuang and Qin Shumin still wanted to stay and continue their studies.They have another part of their schoolwork alone.

Since childhood, Qin Shuhuang and Qin Shumin have been special.

Therefore, the remaining princes and princesses are not close to Qin Shuhuang Qin Shumin, who is his direct descendant.

Qin Shuhuang was doing better. Occasionally he would play with his younger brothers and sisters, but Qin Shumin didn't interact with them at all.

Later, the first emperor and the first empress passed away one after another. Qin Shumin, who succeeded to the throne, only had eyes for Qin Shuhuang, his elder sister, and ignored the other sisters.

Because of this, the fifth princess was so surprised when she heard that Qin Shumin came to her Yuehe Palace.

Standing outside the dormitory, after a while, I saw Qin Shumin leading people into the Yuehe Palace, and the palace people behind him were carrying many wooden boxes.

The shocked fifth princess was gently pushed by the maid Fan Shuang before she came to her senses.

Then she immediately walked quickly towards Qin Shumin.

After arriving in front of Qin Shumin, the five princesses respectfully said, "My sister, please give your regards to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Qin Shumin lowered his head and looked at Qin Shuchun who was squatting in front of him. In the winter, he wore layer after layer to keep warm. Even so, he had frostbite on his hands.

Qin Shumin frowned slightly, and then said: "Pingsheng, fifth sister, today is a small year, and I come to you to ask for a cup of tea."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the fifth princess's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the dormitory of Yuehe Palace, without the sunshine, the surrounding cold air hit him instantly, and it was actually a bit colder than outside.

The large bedroom became even colder because of its emptiness.

Xiao Rang, who was following Qin Shumin, immediately asked someone to bring in a brazier.

There were a few more braziers in the main hall, which immediately made it warmer.

At this time, Fan Shuang brought tea, and the fifth princess personally gave it to Qin Shumin.

Qin Shumin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, raising his eyebrows slightly.

He asked casually: "Fifth sister, how is Concubine Liu Gui doing lately? Is she in good health?"

Qin Shumin didn't know what to say because he didn't often deal with these brothers and sisters, so he asked if he had nothing to say.

Qin Shuchun's expression suddenly darkened, "Back to the emperor, my mother and concubine have refused to see me for several days..."

Qin Shumin was startled and suddenly felt embarrassed.

I immediately felt that it was better to be with my sister, and I could say whatever I wanted. The two siblings would always have endless things to say, and there would never be such an awkward moment.

In the end, Qin Shumin had no choice but to ask a few random questions, and then left with Xiao Rang and others on the pretext of being busy with government affairs.

Together they sat in Yuehe Palace for less than a cup of tea.

But although the emperor left, he left everything he brought with him.

Qin Shumin said before leaving that these things were given to the fifth princess for the New Year.

Fanshuang couldn't wait to open those boxes.

Soon, her face was full of smiles, "Princess, come and see, there are many things! You need them all!"

Good charcoal and a few pieces of tribute damask of the right color are just right for making New Year's coats, which are festive and noble.

Three sets of various styles of head and face jewelry.

Fox fur cloak, soft leather cotton boots.Various snacks and dried fruit refreshments made in the imperial kitchen.

……

Both the design and quality are much better than those sent by Concubine Liu Gui and the Fourth Prince in previous years.

Now, the fifth princess will have an easier winter.

In the afternoon, General Manager Xiao in the palace city announced the emperor's reward.

People in the palace have been working hard all year round. This winter, all palace residents will be given a winter coat and a pair of cotton shoes. Those with good grades will also receive a fur cloak to keep out the cold!
Now, everyone in Miyagi has new clothes to wear during the New Year, and they don’t have to suffer from the cold this winter.

The originally lifeless palace suddenly seemed to come alive, with laughing voices and cheers everywhere.

When Qin Shumin went to Qinzheng Hall, he passed by a small garden and happened to hear the two young eunuchs in charge of sweeping the small garden talking in low voices.

"Is the news you said true? Will winter coats be distributed this year?"

"Really! Your Majesty's words!"

"If I had a new set of clothes every winter, I could sweep the emperor's garden for the rest of my life!"

"Look what you said! The Emperor is still young. If we serve the Emperor well, we will definitely be rewarded in the future!"

……

The ordinary words of the two young eunuchs made Qin Shumin feel deeply.

It turns out that having fun with the people is such a feeling.

Sister is right, he shouldn't just see the people around him, he should take a good look at Dawu and the people of Dawu with his own eyes!
Only the people who have great power in their hearts can he become a truly qualified emperor!

When returning to Qinzheng Hall.

Xiao Qing presented the expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Qin Shumin.

The expenses in the palace are all within limits, and the expenses of the harem were previously controlled by Concubine Liu Gui and the Princess Regent. At present, it is not easy for him to get them back.

If he wanted the palace people to live a good year, Qin Shumin could only use his own expenses to supplement it.

If there is too much for other places, there will be less for him to use.

Qin Shumin looked through the account books and handed them to Xiao Rang.

Xiao Rang took a quick glance and found that the emperor's remaining expenses this year after rewarding the palace servants were only 300 taels.

He suddenly felt embarrassed on his face and suggested: "Your Majesty, why not take away the cloak given to a high-ranking palace official? Otherwise, how will you spend this year?"

So far, the emperor has not made any new clothes for the Chinese New Year!
The emperor is the supreme king!

Qin Shumin shook his head and said, "I have a golden saying, how can I change it? It doesn't matter if I don't wear new clothes for a year, just take out last year's clothes and wear them. 300 taels is not enough for me to celebrate the new year!"

Xiao Rang sighed in his heart, knowing that he could not be persuaded.

Then reminded, "Your Majesty, where are the three concubines..."

Qin Shumin snorted coldly, "Since they want to be my women, they must first learn to live a hard life with me! If they can't make it, then let go of their worries as soon as possible!"

Xiao Rang nodded.

It seems that this year's three new queen candidates have no rewards at all.

The emperor has made up his mind to test these three people.

I just don’t know what the outcome will be…

Xiao Rang had just finished taking stock of the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs when Xiao Qing quietly came in and told Xiao Rang that Lu Zhou wanted to see him.

Xiao Rang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Qin Shumin was handling government affairs in the Qinzheng Hall, and Xiao Rang happily brought in several large boxes... (End of this chapter)
