Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Volume I Chapter 1540 Unwilling to Donate

Disaster relief is no different than other things. Disaster relief is very difficult.

She wanted Chu Xuanchen to know that she was not that weak.

She doesn't just rely on him for protection, she can also help him and become his right-hand man.

Chu Xuanchen put his hands on her shoulders, "Yue'er, I am willing to go through fire and water for the people, but I don't want you to risk yourself. There must be many dangers and difficulties on this journey, I don't want you to go suffer."

Yun Ruoyue shook her head, "I'm not afraid, as long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles. Besides, if you're not by my side, I will miss you, and I can't bear to let you go."

As Yun Ruoyue said, she hugged him tenderly and leaned her head into his arms.

This was the first time she was so proactive, and Chu Xuanchen was very moved.

Why is he willing to separate from her?

Suddenly, he thought of the queen and others.

If he wasn't with her, they would surely hurt her again.

If he was guarding her outside, he would not be afraid no matter how difficult the conditions were, because as long as he could see her, he would feel at ease.

If he couldn't see her, he would feel uneasy.

Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, Yue'er, then you go with me. Then you will pretend to be a military doctor, but you are pregnant, so we must go slowly and be careful."

"Well, don't worry, I will take care of my body."

Only by staying by Chu Xuanchen's side can she really feel at ease.

After Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue discussed it, they began to prepare for the fundraising.

But it is not easy to get money from those nobles.

Therefore, he posted widely, inviting all the respectable nobles, wealthy gentry, landlords and businessmen in the imperial city to eat at Mingyue Tower.

When everyone first heard that Li Wang invited him to dinner, they all thought it was an ordinary party, and they all came.

As a result, when they arrived, they heard that Chu Xuanchen said that they had come to raise funds for the disaster victims, and everyone regretted coming.

There really is no free lunch in the world.

On the wine table, Chu Xuanchen picked up the wine glass, looked at the people indifferently, and said: "Everyone, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are now displaced, starving to death, the people are homeless, hungry, and even have to change their children to eat. The emperor's order Wang raised funds for disaster relief so that he could go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief. You are all the pillars of the Chu State and have a benevolent heart. Now that the Chu State is in the most critical time, the King hopes that everyone can show love and donate actively. Let the people have enough food and clothing, rebuild their homes, and stabilize the situation in Chu."

When everyone heard this, their faces fell down, and they were very reluctant.

Yun Ruoyue stood by, looking at the unwilling faces of these people, a little surprised.

In modern times, once a disaster occurs in a certain place, the whole people will actively donate money and participate in disaster relief.

But these aristocratic people are so indifferent, as if the lives of the common people are not life at all.

She looked at this group of filthy rich people with some disappointment. They all earned money by controlling the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. They should be taken from the people and used for the people.

Now I don't want to.

Seeing everyone's reluctance, Chu Xuanchen was not angry, he said: "Everyone here are nobles and wealthy households, with plenty of money, but the people are the cornerstone of stability, only when the society is stable and the people are happy, can you live a happy life. Otherwise, once the people are in turmoil and start a war, no one will be able to escape! If you help others today, others will come to help you tomorrow. This king will take the lead and donate one hundred thousand taels in the name of Li Palace."
