Yu En suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He shrank his neck weakly, but soon straightened his chest and walked forward with his head held high.

Queen Mother Qin looked at her eunuch in charge, who had the temperament of a fool, and the disgust in her eyes was almost unbearable.

"I went to see the Princess of the County, and she asked me to give this to the Queen Mother."

As he spoke, Yu En respectfully handed the brocade box in his hand to the empress dowager.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother finally looked at Yu En seriously, then opened the brocade box at hand and was stunned.

"kindness?"

She sent some banknotes again. Does Yinyin think that the empress dowager is very poor?

That's so sweet.

No, she had to let her granddaughter see her financial capabilities.

Let Tazhi and Xiangzhi sort them out and pick out the best ones to send to the Pingyang Palace.

"Hehehe!" Yu En smiled happily, and then told the whole story of the silver note.

Queen Mother Qin listened, and a faint smile gradually appeared in her usually cold eyes.

Compared to what Yinyin gave, the gift she gave was a bit shabby.

I want to give her half of my private treasury, but that would be too high-profile and put her in the spotlight, which is not good.

Ah, there is a garden in the western suburbs with hot springs. She can escape the heat in the summer and soak in the hot springs in the winter. I’ll have someone renovate it and give it to her!

The Queen Mother thought about it and instructed Yu En, "There are many orphanages and charity halls in the capital. You can take people to run them. There are also temples and nunneries. Take people to set up porridge stalls. If there is not enough money, I will make up for it. Ask the imperial guards to guard it well and don't cause any trouble."

In the past, the Queen Mother had always disdained to seek such false reputation. When you stand at the pinnacle of power with the power of life and death in your hands, no one dares to question her character and conduct, so why bother with all these troublesome things?

Moreover, the court also has rules for doing things.

The imperial court provides relief to these places every year. Even though there are many poor people living under the emperor's feet,

But the Ministry of Revenue has limited silver to take out, so it cannot take care of everything.

But now that her granddaughter asked her to take the opportunity to do good deeds, she might as well do it.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Yu En responded respectfully and turned to go out to make arrangements.

The Queen Mother looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly said, "That soup is good. Give me another bowl to try."

"Yes." Tazhi's face lit up with joy and he quickly took the bowl and went away. He suddenly realized that it must be Eunuch Yu who mentioned the Princess, which made the Queen Mother happy and her appetite improved.

If you want to make the Empress Dowager happy, mention the Princess more often in the future.

Yu En came forward to represent the Queen Mother Qin. How could the major families in the capital sit still when the Queen Mother took the lead in doing good deeds?

The Qin family was the first to be affected, and Qin Xu sent the silver to the palace overnight.

Therefore, there was no chance for the Queen Mother to use her own private money to fill the gap, and the amount of relief money was already staggering.

However, the noble families did not dare to compete with the Queen Mother for the credit. They offered the money but did not ask for the title.

The ones who did this were naturally the Queen Mother's faction headed by the Qin family.

The ministers loyal to the emperor sneered at the Queen Mother Qin's hypocritical behavior, but how could the Queen Mother Qin care?

She liked to see these people jumping up and down but feeling frustrated because they couldn't do anything to her.

Royal study room.

Emperor Chengde looked at the memorial impeaching Queen Mother Qin and frowned slightly: "What exactly does she want to do?"

The children taken in by the orphanage are all abandoned children, while the people taken in by the Charity Hall are homeless elderly people, both of whom are the least able to work.

No one knows how others view the Queen Mother's action, but in the hearts of these helpless children and elderly people, they are filled with gratitude.

In addition, they set up stalls in front of the temples to distribute porridge, and it is said that they also made golden statues of Buddha in all the temples and monasteries in the capital.

It is somewhat strange that a person who is ruthless and decisive in killing people suddenly starts doing good things.
