"Princess, the Laba congee is ready, should we deliver it outside the city now?"

"Yes, deliver it now, and tell everyone to be careful not to get burnt." Xiao'er cautioned.

"Alright." Yang Liu went to arrange it.

On the Laba Festival, wealthy households would distribute congee outside the city every year, which had become a major custom of the Imperial Capital.

Not only on Laba Festival, it's unclear from which year, from the first snowfall to the last snowfall, there would be families distributing congee and donating old clothes outside the city gate every day.

The Imperial Court had even specially built a shed to facilitate these donations.

Because of that, no one within several miles of the Imperial Capital was starving or freezing in recent years.
