Chapter 371 As long as the wife is happy
"I will also donate 10,000 taels..."
"I am willing to pay 20,000 taels..."
"My humble family is wealthy and I am willing to pay fifty thousand taels..."
"My family is not wealthy, so I will give you five thousand taels..."
"I, your humble servant, will..."
Watching the court officials speaking one after another, Xiao Tu's red lips curled up into a smile. These people were not bad. Of course, it was also important for her, as the queen, to set an example and make a good start.
Xiao Tu praised himself in his heart for being a kind-hearted person, and then he generously praised the ministers who donated money.
Ning Cuo was watching from the side, and then he suddenly spoke, interrupting Xiao Tu's praise of everyone, and said directly, "I will donate 10 million taels!"
The ministers in the court, who were smiling with joy at the praise, suddenly looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Tu also turned her head, and her beautiful eyes fell on him.
Ning Cuo raised his red lips at this and gave her a lazy yet devilish smile. "Since it is so kind of you, Madam, how can I not help you?"
After saying this, he looked up at the corners of his narrow and strangely beautiful eyes, and glanced at the court officials who had just been praised in a condescending and provocative manner!
Everyone: “…”
Uh, Governor, no, Your Majesty, is there a possibility that we didn't intend to be praised by the Holy Empress?
Therefore, there is absolutely no need for you to compare yourself with us in this matter, and please do not be hostile to us. You must believe that in the Queen's heart, you are definitely the most awesome. As for us, we are just there to make up the numbers. The author of the sand sculpture will only pull us out when we are useful~
Xiao Tu saw Ning Cuo's movements clearly, and his expression was ( )...
Ning Cuo, however, was completely unaware and said lovingly, "Madam, why aren't you talking?"
Xiao Tu coughed, then blinked and said tentatively, "Aren't you surprised by Ah Cuo's generosity? To be honest, you're really amazing, Ah Cuo. You just donated 10 million taels. I think all the people will have a way to survive, and I don't have to bother thinking of a solution!"
As expected, she saw the man in front of her smile with satisfaction.
Seeing him like that, Xiao Tu couldn't help but burst out laughing, then she hugged the man's waist and said with a smile, "Oh, so cute!"
Ning Cuo raised an eyebrow. Thinking about it, he was a lord with a domineering aura. It seemed a bit inappropriate to describe him as cute. However, the cuteness this little thing said was clearly a word of love. So he smiled and said, "It seems that this gift from my master has touched my wife's heart. If I had known earlier, I should have asked her earlier and saved her so much trouble!"
The ministers: "..."
Your Majesty, the Queen has praised us less than five times in total. That’s enough. Please stop stepping on us openly or secretly. Isn’t it enough for you to beg for mercy?
Xiao Tu laughed again, then leaned against the man's chest and instructed everyone, "Since the emperor has spoken, the Ministry of Revenue should go directly to the Governor's Mansion to get the money!"
The Minister of Revenue excitedly took a step forward, unable to suppress his inner joy, and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant obeys your command!"
There is money, the Ministry of Revenue finally has money, and it was Governor Ning who filled it with money from his private treasury. He was excited just thinking about it!
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with being stepped on a few times by the Du Gong!
All the ministers had smiles on their faces. In the past, Duke Ning, no, the current emperor, would never care about these things. He probably wouldn't care even if all the people in the world died, let alone paying for disaster relief out of his own pocket!
All of this is because of their Holy Queen!
For a moment, they were all incredibly happy to support Ning Cuo in his rise to power. Although Governor Ning was a powerful, cruel, overbearing, and even bloodthirsty man, he had met Madam Xiao. Didn't he become much more "normal" after meeting Madam Xiao?
