Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 664: ：Empress Lan Fei

Latest website: Mother and daughter are exactly the same, one is charming and the other is delicate, both are as bright as the stars, as bright as the moonlight, and as dazzling as the sun.

When others compare with one, they will inevitably fall behind.

It's not that he looks inferior to others, but that the Lord of Shaoyi County has light on his body, and this light shines on others.

Yu Youyao stood up quickly and gave a blessing to Empress Lan Fei: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your compliments."

If the Yu Mansion and Uncle Ning Yuan had not been at odds early in the morning, such a beautiful person would be a perfect match for the Second Emperor. Concubine Lan felt regretful in her heart, but there was no trace of it on her face. She smiled and said: "Shao County Master Yi, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly, otherwise the Queen Mother will blame me for disturbing her beloved guest."

Yu Youyao thanked him and sat back in Jinqiao.

Empress Lan glanced at Princess Liyang, and then she mistakenly took a brocade box from the hands of the palace maid: "The Empress Dowager wants to raise money for disaster relief, and I am also willing to share the emperor's worries and solve his problems."

Aunt Shen took it with a smile.

Yu Youyao noticed that Concubine Lan glanced at Princess Liyang, her eyes were cold and indifferent, not like a palace concubine's attitude towards a legitimate princess.

She picked up the teacup casually, and while drinking tea, she glanced at Princess Liyang from the corner of her eyes. When Princess Liyang looked at Concubine Lan, her smile faded slightly.

"You are serious." Even though she didn't like Concubine Lan's publicity, the Queen Mother had to admit that Concubine Lan was a smart and knowledgeable person.

The emperor made such a big move, and the Yu Mansion is not a fool. Concubine Lan chose Mrs. Yu to bring Shaoyi County Lord into the palace to express her gratitude, and came here specially to deliver disaster relief money. She was telling the Yu Mansion in a different way that this fundraiser The silver for disaster relief is a real donation, and it is not targeting the Yu family. Even the palace does its part.

In this way, the palace's plot is settled.

Empress Lan Fei took the opportunity to mention the floods in Zhejiang, and the adults in the room had to agree. After talking about the floods, it was inevitable to mention the drought in the north.

This is a lot to say.

It wasn't until three quarters past noon that the Queen Mother looked tired.

Only then did Concubine Lan realize her interest and retreat.

Mrs. Yu couldn’t stay long either.

The Queen Mother said: "It's getting late, and the Ai family is tired. The old lady and the head of Shaoyi County will go to the side hall to rest for a while, and then stay in the palace to have lunch."

Old Madam Yu and Yu Youyao quickly thanked them.

Back in the inner room, the Queen Mother first opened the Jinhe presented by Mrs. Yu. There was a stack of banknotes inside, and she also prepared a booklet, in which the ticket number of the stack of banknotes was written. The quota is a total of one hundred thousand taels.

Old Madam Yu donated money on behalf of the Yu Mansion’s main house. One hundred thousand taels was beyond her expectation.

In the past, when raising money from the palace, it all depended on how much each family was willing to take. Some with a smaller family had dozens or even hundreds of taels, some with a richer family had hundreds or even thousands, and those with more than 5,000 taels were only a handful.

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "It has not been easy for Mrs. Yu these years. She made a hundred thousand taels in one go. In addition to eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, and making offerings to Bodhisattvas, she wanted to show her kindness to Bodhisattvas, and she also had the emperor's great kindness. The reason is that it also affects the family fortune."

Aunt Shen also said: "Mrs. Yu is kind and kind-hearted."

The Queen Mother initially expected that the Yu Mansion could produce fifty thousand taels, which was enough to live up to the emperor's grace.

It is impossible to raise money for disaster relief.

Compared with this number, all the companies in Beijing, more or less, add up to a considerable amount. Disaster relief is not enough, but at least it can relieve urgent needs.

Now it far exceeds this number, which shows that Yu Mansion is really serious.

The Queen Mother opened the box from Shaoyi County Master, took the booklet, and was stunned for a long time.

Aunt Shen glanced at it and breathed heavily.

The Empress Dowager closed the book and put it in the box: "Now I feel that the emperor's title of Miss Yu Shaoyi County Princess is a bit weak. With this profound understanding of righteousness, making a princess is enough. ," she handed the box to Aunt Shen and said softly: "Take it to the imperial study and give it to the emperor." At this point, she hesitated and added: "Yu Mansion will live up to its loyalty and righteousness. From now on, Please be more kind."

A total of one million taels. The palace also knew the property under the name of Shaoyi County Master very well. This one million taels was nearly half of the profits of all the shops under her name for ten years or more.

Being willing to spend such a large amount of money, in addition to the great kindness of the emperor, I am afraid that like Mrs. Yu, she has developed a bodhisattva heart.

Aunt Shen held the box and walked all the way to the imperial study room.

Eunuch Zhu hurriedly came up to us, glanced at the brocade box, and said with a smile: "Aunt Shen is here. The emperor has just finished processing the memorial and is having a headache. Who should be sent to Zhejiang for disaster relief? Please come in quickly."

Aunt Shen lowered her head and looked at the brocade box in her hand. She felt a little clear in her heart. She smiled and entered the imperial study room with Eunuch Zhu.

The emperor's face was gray, but his cheeks were flushed abnormally. It was obvious that he had just taken the elixir. Aunt Shen handed the brocade box to Eunuch Zhu and relayed that Mrs. Yu and the Lord of Shaoyi County came to the palace to express their gratitude. , said something, and then said: "The Queen Mother praises, the Yu Mansion lives up to its loyalty and righteousness, and the Shaoyi Lord does not live up to the emperor's grace."

She doesn’t need to say the rest, the emperor should understand.

Eunuch Zhu presented the brocade box.

The emperor smiled: "The Yu Mansion is loyal to the emperor and serves the emperor, and I will naturally express it."

After Aunt Shen got her words, she retreated.

The imperial study room became quiet. The emperor opened the brocade box and showed a satisfied expression when he saw the number inside. However, there was an unfathomable light in his cloudy eyes.

The emperor looked at the box for a long time, closed it, and said with unclear meaning: "Even a young lady who has not left the imperial court is richer than me. Tell me," he stared at Eunuch Zhu with his gray eyes. , asked one word at a time: "As the emperor, am I a failure?"

Eunuch Zhu knelt down on the ground with a plop ~IndoMTL.com~ and his heavy clothes were soaked with sweat in an instant: "The emperor has great merits in benevolent governance, so the heads of the Yu Mansion and Shaoyi County sacrificed their family wealth to share the emperor's worries." At this point, he kept saying His teeth were chattering and his voice was shaking: "Yes, there are people who don't care about the king's kindness, deceive the king, enrich their own pockets..."

In the past, there was the Zhejiang Capital Secretary who corrupted the Mo army, and later the Ministry of Industry, in conjunction with the Li Supervisor of River Supervision, Zhejiang officials, embezzled the money for river repairs. The money accumulated year by year, which is a huge amount.

Eunuch Zhu lowered his eyes.

With contrast, the loyalty of Yu Mansion can be highlighted.

Sure enough!

As soon as the emperor mentioned this, he sneered: "Yes, there are loyal and loyal ministers like the Yu Mansion in the court, and there are also blood-sucking locusts." When he said this, his face suddenly turned sinister: " I think that since the sky is high and the emperor is far away, I can’t cure them. How much I swallowed in the past will now be spit out with profit!”

Eunuch Zhu lowered his head a little more and did not dare to breathe anymore.
