Chapter 76 The Success of the Charity Society
On the day of the harem charity party, the morning light was just breaking, and the golden light was like the fluttering sleeves of fairies, slowly spreading to every corner of the palace, adding a bit of warmth and brightness to the already noisy and joyous scene.
The charity sale area was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder. The dazzling array of items crafted by the concubines, like a dazzling galaxy of stars, was highly sought after. The embroidery depicted flowers, birds, fish, and insects, each stitch a breathtaking display of exquisite craftsmanship. The feathers of birds, wispy and silky, seemed to flutter for flight; the scales of fish, shimmering and glittering, seemed to play in the water; the petals of delicate flowers, layered and cascading, seemed to exude a delicate fragrance; the delicate insects, their antennae trembling, seemed ready to leap from the brocade at any moment. These embroidery pieces not only showcased the concubines' exquisite craftsmanship but also embodied their aspirations and wishes for a better life.
"This embroidery is like a work of nature, with stitches as fine as silk and designs as exquisite as a fairy tale. Buying it and displaying it in your home will surely add a touch of elegance and grace." A wealthy merchant, dressed in fine clothes, touched the embroidery with eyes full of admiration and admiration. Without hesitation, he paid for it, not forgetting to praise his attendant: "Such exquisite work is rare in the market. It must have been created by someone with great talent in the palace."
"This painting is full of poetic sentiment, with the perfect balance of shades and shades. It is truly a rare masterpiece." A scholar stood before a landscape scroll, gazing at it for a long time. His gaze was intense, sometimes leaning in to scrutinize the brushstrokes, sometimes stepping back to appreciate the overall composition. Finally, he generously donated the scroll, carefully rolling it up as if it were a treasure, and exclaimed, "This painting has a profound and profound artistic conception. It will surely become a treasure in my study."
The charity performance was a dazzling spectacle, accompanied by relentless applause. A concubine, clad in a dance costume as light as mist, danced gracefully, like a shy lotus blossoming. Each of her spins was as ethereal as a cloud emerging from a mountain, her skirt fluttering like the vibrant clouds of the sky. Each leap was powerful, her posture erect, like a pine tree standing proudly against the sky. Her eyes were lively, sometimes affectionate, like a spring breeze caressing a willow, sometimes playful and lively, like a blooming spring flower, and her smile, like a blooming spring sun, captivated the audience.
"This dance should only exist in heaven, how many times can we see it in the world?" An audience member in the audience could not help but applaud and admire. He stared at the beauty on the stage intently and forgot to wave the folding fan in his hand.
Another concubine sat at a zither, her jade fingers lightly plucking the melodies that echoed like plaintive tears. The notes flowed like a clear mountain stream, sometimes gurgling, sometimes leaping and surging, splashing and shimmering; sometimes serene and profound, like the tranquility of a deep pool. Her expression shifted with the melody, sometimes her brow furrowed, her eyes filled with sorrow, as if she were reminiscing about a poignant past; sometimes her lips curled upward, her eyes gleaming with joy, as if she were welcoming a beautiful reunion.
In a corner of the audience, an old man closed his eyes and listened, the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax, and he murmured softly: "This piano music has brought back the emotions that have been in my heart for many years."
The public was filled with praise for the harem's good deeds, and the news spread quickly to the palace like a spring breeze. His Majesty was in the imperial study, handling state affairs, when he heard the eunuch's report. At first, he heard that the concubines had been showing up in public without permission, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
"How can a concubine in the harem so disregard the royal family's dignity and openly display her talents? How shameless!" His Majesty's brows were furious as he paced back and forth in the imperial study. He slammed the memorial in his hand and said, "If this gets out, what will become of the royal dignity?"
The Queen Mother was in her own palace. Upon hearing the report from the palace maid, she looked worried and said, "This behavior is indeed inappropriate and should be reprimanded. The rules of the harem cannot be broken." She twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, thinking about how to deal with it.
However, as more detailed feedback from the people reached the palace, the attitudes of His Majesty and the Queen Mother gradually changed.
Your Majesty, having heard the ministers' detailed account of the charity, has learned of the people's enthusiastic response to it and the practical benefits it has brought to the people. It has provided relief to impoverished families, provided children with opportunities to study, and provided shelter for the elderly and orphans.
"My beloved concubine's actions are truly exemplary for the rest of the harem. They use their talent and dedication to promote the well-being of the people, demonstrating the royal family's benevolence." His Majesty nodded slightly from his throne, a pleased smile on his face. Recalling his responsibilities as a ruler, he felt a surge of emotion. "Look at my harem, they too are able to make such contributions to the country."
The Queen Mother discussed the matter with several concubines in the palace. When she heard the people's words of gratitude to the charity, her worries gradually subsided.
"This is the demeanor that concubines in the harem should embody. It sets an example for the world. It can be considered as making amends for their mistakes." The Queen Mother nodded slightly, her expression gradually softening. "I hope they can maintain this kind intention forever."
After the charity event ended, Concubine Su gathered all the concubines who participated in the charity event together.
Concubine Su looked at her sisters, her eyes full of relief and expectation: "Sisters, nowadays there are fewer unnecessary disputes in our palace, and more sincere friendship and mutual help. There are laughter and joy every day, and everyone works together for charity. This is what I have always expected. Our little efforts can bring real help to the people, and everything is worth it. I hope we can keep this kindness forever, so that everyone in this palace is equal, everyone strives forward, and work together to benefit the people of the world." There was a warm light in her eyes, and her voice was full of determination and longing for the future.
Concubine Jing smiled faintly and said, "This charity event has made me realize that we in the palace are not just bogged down in trivial matters. We can also do many meaningful things for the people, bringing them hope and joy. I am deeply satisfied to be able to do so."
The virtuous concubine responded, "In the future, I will actively participate in such charitable activities and contribute my best efforts. Seeing the lives of the people improved because of us, I feel that all my hard work has turned into sweetness."
Hua Fei also said: "In the past, I was short-sighted and only cared about my own glory. Now that I have participated in this charity, I know how meaningful it is to bring happiness to others."
Concubine Min nodded beside her, deeply moved by this charity event: "I have been too narrow-minded and selfish in the past. I will definitely correct my mistakes and work together with my sisters to contribute to charity."
Your Majesty has come here specially upon hearing about the gathering of the concubines.
His Majesty looked at Noble Consort Su, his eyes filled with admiration and love. He held her hand tightly and said affectionately, "My beloved concubine is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also has a kind heart and outstanding abilities! I intend to enthrone you as Empress. What do you think, my beloved concubine?"
Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Su blushed and knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace. I am not worthy of such a heavy responsibility, as I am not worthy of such a heavy responsibility."
Upon hearing Noble Concubine Su's refusal, the other concubines had varying thoughts. Some were genuinely impressed, secretly admiring her humility and, feeling ashamed of themselves, determined to emulate her and devote themselves even more diligently to charitable causes. The other concubine, who thought Noble Concubine Su was being pretentious, felt a mixture of emotions. On the one hand, she resented Su's renewed favor, while on the other, she couldn't help but wonder if she had been too narrow-minded and had misunderstood Noble Concubine Su's sincerity.
However, when they saw that Noble Concubine Su politely declined His Majesty's kindness, those concubines who were dissatisfied were first surprised and confused, and then gradually developed admiration for Noble Concubine Su.
The harem was filled with warmth and hope due to this successful charity event. The relationship between the concubines became more harmonious, and they were full of anticipation for future charity events.
As time goes by, the influence of the charity becomes more and more far-reaching.
The concubines in the palace began to organize various charity activities on a regular basis. Some sent clothes and food to poor areas, and some opened schools for orphans to teach them to read and write.
Once, Concubine Xian led her maids to distribute relief supplies to an impoverished village. They encountered a violent storm, making the road muddy and difficult to navigate. However, Concubine Xian remained resolute and braved the rain. When they finally arrived, she personally handed the relief supplies to the villagers, who were overwhelmed with gratitude and knelt in gratitude.
"Your Majesty, your kindness is so great that we have no way to repay you." An old man said with tears in his eyes.
The virtuous concubine hurriedly helped the old man to his feet and said gently, "Please stand up quickly, everyone. This is our responsibility. I just hope that everyone will have a better life in the future."
After returning to the palace, Concubine Xian told the other concubines about this experience, and they became more determined to continue their charitable deeds.
Concubine Jing organized a charity sale in the palace, selling handicrafts made by herself and other concubines, and all the proceeds were used to help the elderly and widowed.
"Everyone, come and have a look. These are all made by us. Each one is filled with our love." Concubine Jing warmly greeted the people who came to the charity sale.
In this process, the concubines not only gained the joy of helping others, but also made their own lives more fulfilling and meaningful.
His Majesty and the Queen Mother strongly supported the concubines' charitable acts, not only providing material and financial assistance, but also setting up a special charity organization in the palace, which was handed over to Concubine Su for management.
Concubine Su devoted all her efforts to managing the affairs of the charity, formulating detailed plans and regulations to ensure that every penny of donation was used effectively.
During an operation to rescue disaster victims, Concubine Su personally led the palace maids to the disaster area to deliver food and medicine to the victims.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The court will not forget you. We will work together to overcome the difficulties." Concubine Su's voice was gentle and firm, bringing hope and courage to the victims.
After a period of efforts, the situation in the disaster area gradually improved, and the people were full of gratitude to Concubine Su and the concubines in the harem.
"Thank you for saving our lives, ladies and gentlemen. May you live long and healthy lives." A disaster victim said, holding Concubine Su's hand tightly.
As time went by, the charitable work of the harem became more and more prosperous, not only winning praise from the people at home, but also becoming a legend in neighboring countries.
Royal families from other countries sent people to learn and exchange ideas, and the harem became a place to spread love and friendship.
On a quiet moonlit night, Concubine Su stood in the palace, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a myriad of emotions in her heart.
"All this effort is worth it." He said softly, a satisfied smile on his face.
