Chapter 244: Fraudulent Donation
The fundraising for rebuilding the Guanyin Tower was stopped at the last day, when Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen appeared.
She dressed very simply.
The clothes were a half-worn skirt, and the hairpins and rings were also styles from a few years ago.
Of course, she is naturally beautiful, like a pear tree covered with snow, which always amazes people.
Behind her, there were boxes that looked quite old.
As a result, when you open it, you will see the shining golden light that makes you unable to take your eyes away.
"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Some people who like to watch the fun pointed and talked.
"Yes, it is exactly ten thousand taels of gold. Your Majesty the Emperor of Nanchu, it is not difficult to ask me to donate ten thousand taels of gold. Leave the counting of the donations to me. I don't want anyone to defraud donations." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
This Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen once overthrew the Guanyin Tower, and most people in Jiangcheng know her.
The minions in charge of fundraising did not dare to act rashly and hurried back to the Jokhang Palace to report.
"Who would defraud donations?" a young girl muttered.
"I think the virtuous concubine can do it." A young woman took over the conversation.
Haha, Concubine Xian is now being pushed down by everyone.
Tu Mi remembered that in the past, whenever the virtuous concubine left the palace, as long as the ceremonial procession was carried out, a group of people would automatically and consciously shout "Long live the virtuous concubine!" and then praise the virtuous concubine for her beauty and kindness, saying that she was the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Although the virtuous concubine has the support of the Lanling Xiao family, no one has ever heard of this person before. The Lanling Xiao family members are all beautiful, while the virtuous concubine is a little ordinary. This means that once the virtuous concubine loses the favor of His Majesty, she will not get the support of the Lanling Xiao family, and will not get any money. How can she fill the hole of donating 10,000 taels of silver?" the young woman explained.
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded and agreed.
Having achieved his goal, Zhu Huaizhen ordered Tu Mi to guard the 10,000 taels of gold while he prepared to go back.
Jiangcheng is cold and damp in winter, so there is no need for her to wait.
It would be better to go back to Haiyue Cottage and listen to the opera slowly.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
The never-boring "Peach Blossom Fan" is waiting for her.
However, the little minion bowed deeply and said that it was His Majesty who invited him.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
"Princess Ronghua, please give me an explanation for what happened today." Emperor Chu Ming, with his hands behind his back, became very impatient after waiting for a while in Haiyue Cottage, but he did not dare to do anything excessive to Zhu Huaizhen.
Lou Li, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Southern Yan, warned Emperor Chu Ming that if he dared to touch Princess Ronghua, he would surely die.
Emperor Chu Ming didn't believe it at first, but Lou Li entered and exited the Dazhao Palace as if he was in an empty place, making it impossible to guard against him.
"I don't want anyone to defraud donations." Zhu Huaizhen smiled, his grape eyes clear and bright.
In fact, Zhu Huaizhen was just annoyed because Concubine Xian stood on the moral high ground and forced him to make donations.
Emperor Chu Ming now understands it, but he had acquiesced to it before.
"The virtuous concubine has gone mad, and the personal money she has on her is no more than one hundred taels of silver. The ten thousand taels of silver should be considered as a donation from me. Don't pick a fight with the Lanling Xiao family again, otherwise I can't protect you." Emperor Chu Ming turned away.
"Your Highness, what does the Emperor of Nanchu mean? Does he have the ability to protect you?" Tu Mi sneered.
"Tu Mi, don't be angry. If God wants to kill someone, he will first make him crazy. He knew very well how the virtuous concubine went crazy, but he couldn't see through his own situation. How pitiful and sad." Zhu Huaizhen patted Tu Mi's shoulder and sighed softly.
