Chapter 1237: Chapter 1053, Packing Luggage

Several provinces simultaneously encountered a drought, and even though the Imperial Court actively provided disaster relief, distributing food and drought-resistant seed grains, it was still not enough to completely solve the problem.

After August, many cities saw a large number of refugees gathering outside their walls.

Initially, officials from the disaster-stricken provinces were unwilling to allow the refugees to migrate to Xiliang, as the population under their jurisdiction was tied to their annual performance.

But when September arrived and the weather began to turn cold, some officials started to feel restless.

There was no choice; in the north, October was already very cold, and some places even started to see snow. With a lack of clothing and food, the situation of refugees starving or freezing to death was going to rise sharply.

Most importantly, the officials were worried that the refugees might start a riot, and with many deaths, there could also be an outbreak of plague.

Thus, provinces overwhelmed by disaster relief efforts gradually began to submit memorials to Beijing and concurrently moved the refugees.

...

At Prince Residence.

In front of the main gate, Daozi energetically hopped off the carriage and then ran excitedly back to the main courtyard. Before even entering the room, his jubilant voice could be heard: "Mom, Dad got me a leave of absence from the Academy today, and he says he’ll take me out for a walk tomorrow."

Daohua was accompanying the twins with their drawings when she heard the voice. Looking up toward the door, it wasn’t long before she saw Daozi running in high spirits.

When Daozi reached her, Daohua took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile, "Where is your dad planning to take you?"

Daozi’s face was still filled with excitement as he exclaimed loudly, "Dad said we’re going to Xiliang! He said it’s to receive the transferring refugees, and this time, he’s taking me with him to gain some experience. Mom, quickly pack my traveling things."

Watching her son so eager to go out and see the world, Daohua felt a mix of emotions. Her son had grown up and was no longer the little dumpling who liked to cling to her every day.

Her complex feelings quickly faded, and Daohua looked at her son with a smile: "What would you like to take with you on the trip?"

Daozi began counting on his fingers, listing items: "Clothes, shoes, toys, storybooks... I’ll bring everything I’m used to using daily."

Hearing this, Daohua did not immediately respond. She instructed the maids and the old woman to watch the twins and accompanied Daozi to his chambers.

"You’re going out on your own, so you need to prepare your own things, and mom will watch you do it."

Seeing that his mother was letting him take charge, Daozi immediately went to pack his things in high spirits.

He packed his favorite stuffed toys, the scented pillows his mother had given him, the treasure box...

Daozi happily placed the items he wanted to take with him on the bed. In a short while, the bed was filled, and then he started placing items on the adjacent table.

After busying himself, the bed, table, and even the entire sleeping area were piled with things Daozi wanted to take with him.

"I’m exhausted!"

Looking at Daozi’s expression as if he had worn himself out, Daohua chuckled and shook her head, handing him some milk tea brought over by a maid.

Once Daozi caught his breath, Daohua then asked, "Are you sure you want to take all these things with you?"

Daozi nodded eagerly: "Of course, when I was coming back, Bodyguard Jiang told me that traveling is tough; you don’t eat well, and you don’t sleep well."

At that moment, Daozi quickly looked over to Guyu: "Aunt Guyu, quickly have the kitchen make more of my favorite pastries. I need to take them with me tomorrow."

Daohua laughed: "Do you know what ’light travel’ means?"

Daozi paused, then shook his head.

Daohua explained: "The term ’light travel’ means that when you go on a trip, you should pack as lightly as possible. Do you understand why that is?"
