Chapter 534 Bai Qianqian's Purpose

This charity banquet raised more than one million taels of disaster relief for the people of Chuanlin, and also caused quite a stir in Yongjing City. When people learned that the person who initially proposed holding the charity banquet was Lang Zhaoyi, who was now the favored emperor in the palace, they found it even more incredible.

Although Concubine Lian is not in the palace now, Concubine Quan is still around. How can she be ranked higher than this one in terms of status?

At the same time, the news that Lang Zhaoyi personally presided over the palace banquet spread among the ladies who attended the palace banquet that day. Soon, those who were wondering why Lang Zhaoyi presided over the palace banquet were summarized by the specific circumstances of the palace banquet that day. After all, ordinary people had no chance to see such a charitable palace banquet, so it was good to be able to listen to it.

The wives of the merchants and other families who attended the charity auction that day also went out to brag about the silk gloves that Lang Zhaoyi wore, the small bells and hammers, and the scene of scattering flowers and playing music when the beat was set. They all made people listen with great interest.

As for what happened later, auctioneers from various auction houses began to enthusiastically call out "family members", and the Sijia Trading Company quickly launched a variety of exquisite "gloves", which were loved by the ladies of various families and even set off a glove craze in Yongjing City. But that is another story.

In the palace, there is Yuxiu Palace.

As the current hot topic outside the palace, Si Linglong was lying on a small table, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

Shu Hong brought a cup of throat-soothing tea and gestured to her, "Your Highness, you were exhausted yesterday. You must take good care of your throat in the next few days."

Si Linglong took the fragrant tea listlessly, took a sip, and felt the taste was a bit bland. She turned her head and looked at Shu Hong eagerly.

[Can you add some honey? It doesn't taste good. ]

Shu Hong couldn't understand her expression, so she just asked, "Your Majesty, you don't like to drink? Then I'll change to something else?"

Si Linglong opened her mouth, but her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't speak. She simply gave up, picked up the fragrant tea, and gulped it down in one gulp as if it were medicine.

Seeing this, Qinglu couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, please drink slowly. There is more. Doctor Li Yu said that Your Majesty doesn't want to take medicine, so you can drink more of this fragrant tea."

Si Linglong sighed.

A casual look.

At the auction yesterday, she had already devoted all her enthusiasm and words for the next month.

Shu Hong added, "According to the instructions of the Empress, the auction items that were purchased by various households yesterday have been delivered to various households by special palace maids today. Each household seems to be very pleased with them. The auction funds that could not be raised yesterday have all been delivered today."

She paused and deliberately mentioned, "The Bai family's 260,000 taels have just been delivered."

After hearing about the Bai family's 260,000 taels, Si Linglong's originally depressed look finally showed a hint of a smile.

He shrugged his shoulders and laughed silently twice, then took another sip of the throat-soaking tea. He felt that the bland tea had become delicious.

[This is normal. For these prominent people, face is more important than anything else. If their vanity is satisfied, they will be more proactive next time something like this happens.]

Qinglu on the side also said, "Although it is said that the palace servants have to make an extra trip, they all received the reward money. Those family members are happy to receive the money. Now those who are not eligible to attend the palace banquet will know which family has bid for things and donated money to the court. By the way, the emperor specially asked someone to make a plaque and send it to the Si family for the inscription. Now everyone knows that our Si family is a family that accumulates charity."

Si Linglong couldn't help laughing when she heard her chattering.

[We are still in the Si family. You sound more and more like me. ]

[But we definitely won this time. ]

Si Linglong was thinking of the kind-hearted family in her heart, but suddenly her expression froze and she almost spilled the cup of tea in her hand.

Ignoring Shuhong and Qinglu who were busy wiping her hands, Si Linglong had a stunned look on her face.

She remembered.

[In the original novel, there was indeed a snowstorm in Dayuan, but the original novel only briefly mentioned the philanthropic family with the Emperor's pen, because the focus of the novel at that time was on the fact that the heroine Bai Qianqian went out of the palace to pray for the disaster victims. It was also at that time that the green-clad assassin sent by King Cheng made his first appearance, and the hero and heroine both fell off a cliff, opening up the plot outside the palace...]

This should be a key plot, but the system has not reminded of the mission progress since the last time the mission was released, and Si Linglong couldn't remember it.

When the assassin sent by King Cheng appeared, the system was missing and no mission was issued in time. What about this time?

Si Linglong suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She signaled that she needed to rest and asked Shuhong and Qinglu to leave, then she tried to call the system.

Fortunately, the system responded quickly this time, with just a neutral response.

【Host.】

Si Linglong didn't exchange pleasantries with it. She was thinking about something in her mind and asked tentatively, "System, the last time you issued the task of correcting the plot, you wanted the heroine to return to the palace as soon as possible, but why didn't you urge me again during this period of time?"

If it was as before, the system would appear and urge her when it noticed that she was not taking any action. However, from the time the system appeared again to the time she returned to the palace, she had clearly done nothing in the meantime, yet the system just kept failing.

That's strange.

In addition, the system had previously said that the female protagonist had awakened, and an answer seemed to be ready to emerge in my heart.

After hearing her question, the system seemed to be silent for a moment, and then answered in a serious manner.

[Because the plot line has been corrected by the heroine's intervention. ]

A string in Si Linglong's mind seemed to suddenly break, as if something was being connected.

The system said that it was only responsible for the plot line, and she was the person it chose to maintain the plot line. However, when the second person to maintain the plot line appeared, even if she deliberately acted badly, the system did not urge her again.

The second person who maintains the plot line is Bai Qianqian, who has already awakened the heroine's consciousness.

Recalling what A Yue had said before, that Bai Qianqian had secretly left Yutai Mountain for Xuancheng, Si Linglong finally understood why Bai Qianqian wanted to go to Xuancheng.

Xuancheng, located in Sichuan, is the center of the snow disaster.

Bai Qianqian, she went to provide disaster relief!
