Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Aunt Tao took a look at her and respectfully helped her refill some tea.

The queen's eyes could not help but be proud, "With this palace on board, there will be a lot of responses. I heard that Chu Xuanchen invited people to dinner today, and wanted the nobles to donate to him, but he didn't get a single penny. , I feel relieved when I think about it."

"That's right, how can he have the charm of your sister? You are the queen of the middle palace, who dare not give you face? After raising money in the past few days, you will send it to my sister when the time comes." Mrs. Wei Guo said with a sinister smile.

"Don't worry, my sister will be a part of my fortune. But you must remember that this matter must not be leaked." The queen warned.

"Don't worry, my sister. When did my sister make a mistake? We have been raising funds for this charity for many years, and I have already gained experience in raising funds. This year will be the same as in previous years. When the time comes, we will use tens of thousands of taels of silver. Buy some food for disaster relief, and put on a show. The rest is the same as last year. You get 80% for my sister, and I get 20% for my sister. The floods are particularly serious this year, and the people are even more pitiful. Maybe I can raise a lot of money. At that time, we will donate a little, and the rest will be our income." Mrs. Wei Guo said with a sneer.

The queen also smiled proudly: "It's still my sister, you are smart, and you have come up with a way to raise funds for charity. This is a good income. The nobles heard that they want to help the common people, and anyone is willing to donate money. This business is more cost-effective than doing business. too much."

"That is, we don't need to pay a penny, we only need to use your reputation to net a few million taels a year. How can there be such a good thing in the world? So I said, it's better to be a queen, and you won't get any money. It takes a lot of work." Madam Wei Guo said, holding hands with the queen, and laughing heartily.

The queen said: "Then tomorrow's charity auction, I will have Sister Lao to help me."

"Sister, don't worry, we will definitely raise more money tomorrow to slap Chu Xuanchen in the face!"

Standing by the side, Aunt Tao saw how they were in such a mess, a trace of disgust and anger flashed in her eyes.

After sending Mrs. Wei away, Aunt Tao went to Li Jinzhong under the guise of going to work, and told him everything she had just heard.

Aunt Tao, like Li Jinzhong, belonged to Chu Xuanchen.

Before the emperor told the empress not to harm Yun Ruoyue, she heard it from the empress and told Li Jinzhong.

Over the years, Chu Xuanchen had also secretly cultivated many people and sent them to the palace. They worked on his behalf, and would promptly remind him when he was in danger.

Let him think of a way to deal with it in advance, so that he can save himself from danger every time, and bring good luck to the disaster.

Aunt Tao has also been lurking beside the queen for several years, and only this year she gained the queen's trust and became the queen's confidant.

Otherwise, she would not have heard these conversations.

As soon as it got dark, Chu Xuanchen received a message from Aunt Tao to Li Jinzhong from the spies.

Only then did he know that the queen and Mrs. Wei Guo had already amassed a lot of money by using charity to raise funds.

It is difficult for the queen not to collect money, but now that she knows that she is going to collect money, it is easy to handle.

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen took Yun Ruoyue to participate in the charity auction held by the queen in Lixiang Garden.

Lixiangyuan is an opera garden, decorated elegantly and grandly, with an antique flavor, and it is the favorite place for dignitaries and dignitaries to come to listen to operas.

The queen chose to hold the auction here, which also made the auction a lot taller.
