Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

When Xiao Bo came in, he saw Prime Minister Chen Jingxi, Duke Zhenguo Xicheng, Marquis Ningyuan Wen Changsheng, Minister of Revenue Cheng Canggu, and the imperial sister.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"You came to see me because of the disaster relief funds?"

"Yes, Father."

“What should we do with this disaster relief money?”

"Father, Princess Huayang is leading a group of noble ladies to auction jewelry at the city's guild hall to raise funds for disaster relief for the people of Jiangnan."

"Stars?"

"Yes, Cousin Xingchen put all her jewelry up for auction. I'm afraid she's already collected half a million by now."

Half a million?

"so much."

"She sold all the princess phoenix crowns you gave her."

When the emperor heard that Huo Ran had stood up, he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened.

"Father, there's not only my cousin Xingchen, but also the Minister of Revenue's daughter Cheng Yan, and..."

The emperor knew that now was not the time to hold anyone accountable. He looked towards Xicheng, towards Chen Jingxi, and towards Cheng Canggu.

He finally chose Xicheng and said, "Duke Zhenguo, listen to this for yourself. Princess Huayang, a woman, has worked so hard for disaster relief and for the people of Jiangnan. As the head of all officials, don't you feel ashamed?"

Cheng Canggu: It seemed that he went back and gave his daughter a chicken leg because she had avoided a scolding.

Chen Jingxi: He doesn't have a daughter, but he does have a daughter-in-law. When I get back, I must tell my son and daughter-in-law to learn from the princess.

Furun: Look at how blushing you all are. This princess has reminded you.

Xicheng: "I am guilty."

"You are guilty. Now the princess has shown you how to raise funds for disaster relief. Do you need me to teach you how to do it?"

"No, I will take the lead and donate one, no, five thousand taels to the disaster area."

The emperor then nodded.

"Go do it."

"Yes, I will collect it right away."

After everyone left, the emperor quickly ordered Uncle Xiao: "Uncle Xiao, go and bring your cousin to me."

"Yes, I will go right away."

The emperor looked at Furun and asked, "Whose idea was this?"

Fu Run shook his head and said, "Father, this is a letter from Xingchen to me."

The emperor took the letter and took a look at it. It was written in Xingchen's handwriting. This girl didn't study hard, but her handwriting was very good.

Her worries were written in her heart, saying that someone was planning to target the Chen family and her.

Kill two birds with one stone and eliminate the Chen family and Furun.

The letter also mentioned the Tongzhengshi.

The emperor snorted coldly after seeing this.

"Send someone to investigate the Tongzhengshi."

"I've already checked. I was afraid they'd get suspicious and ruin things, so I didn't dare to make it public. Instead, I had someone investigate privately."

Something bad happened?

The emperor did not ask what she was pregnant with, but simply said, "Be careful."

"Yes, I understand."

When Wen Xingchen saw Xiao Bo, he had already collected nearly 500,000 taels of silver notes.

It can be seen that she really sold all her jewelry.

Wen Xingchen entered the palace with Xiao Bo, carrying silver bills and lists of donations from various noble ladies.

On the way, Xiao Bo looked at Wen Xingchen as if he were a monster.

Only after getting off the carriage did Xiao Bo bow to Wen Xingchen at a ninety-degree angle.

"Uncle Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

"On behalf of the people of Jiangnan, my brother thanks Princess Huayang."

"If it's for the people, then you can forget it. But if it's for something else, you might have to kneel down and thank me."

"What is it?"

"You will know when you see His Majesty."

Wen Xingchen entered the administrative hall and met the emperor. Without waiting to pay her respects to the emperor, she took out all the banknotes.

"Uncle, please send someone to rescue the victims."

"Xingchen, do you admit your guilt?"

Seeing her uncle's dark face, Wen Xingchen quickly knelt down, and Uncle Xiao also knelt down with her.

Xiao Bo said, "Father, my cousin is wholeheartedly devoted to the people. This action is admired by the students, and I, your son, admire it as well. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and not punish my cousin Xingchen."

Furun did not kneel because she knew that the emperor would not do anything to Xingchen.

Wen Xingchen: It’s too early for you to beg for mercy.

Wen Xingchen stood up and knelt in front of the emperor, then pulled his clothes and said coquettishly: "Uncle Emperor, Xingchen only wants to relieve your worries."

"I have a whole court of civil and military officials. Do I need a little girl like you?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head and said:

"Over the years, my uncle has been good to Xingchen, and Xingchen remembers it all in her heart. But Xingchen also wants to repay her uncle. However, my uncle also has what Xingchen has, and he also has what Xingchen doesn't have. Xingchen doesn't know how to repay her uncle."

"It just so happens that I heard from my father that my uncle is very worried about this matter. Xingchen doesn't want his uncle to worry, and he doesn't want his uncle to have more gray hair because of this matter."

Uncle Xiao: My cousin is really good at talking. Every time she called "uncle", every word she said moved him deeply.

And his father just fell for it.

The dark face has gotten much better.

"Xingchen heard that those old ministers had big mouths. Not only did they not help, but they also angered my uncle. Xingchen was so angry that he wanted to slap them in the face to vent his anger for my uncle."

"Now that Xingchen has raised so much, I wonder if anyone among them dares to say it can't be done. If they really can't do it, uncle will just chop them off to save the treasury money."

The emperor felt relieved after hearing this. With a look of tears on his face, he said in a calm tone:

"Xingchen, your uncle is very touched by what you have done this time. I am not blaming you, I just feel sorry for you. If you sell all the things you have, Xingchen will have nothing left."

"I have an uncle."

I have an uncle.

With just one sentence, the emperor almost cried.

Xingchen's recent performance really pleased him more and more, and now he helped him solve this problem.

"Xingchen, go to your aunt's palace and rest for a while. I will discuss with the court officials who should be sent to provide disaster relief."

Wen Xingchen glanced under the dragon throne.

"Uncle, isn't there a ready-made person?"

"Who are you talking about? Disaster relief is no small matter, and it's hard work. Not everyone can do it."

When the emperor said this, he looked at Furun and Xiao Bo, frowned, and was very suspicious.

Wen Xingchen turned his gaze to Xiao Bo and said, "The best teacher in the world is personal experience. Fourth cousin has been pampered since childhood and has never seen the suffering of the world. This is a good opportunity for you to gain experience."

Xiao Bo was so scared that he shook his head: Don’t hurt me.

Furun then knelt down and said, "Father, I agree."

"Royal sister, what are you talking about? How could my brother be involved in such an important matter as disaster relief? You must not be confused. Jiangnan is located in an important area, and it is also the most important area for tax collection. We can't afford any accidents."

Fu Run said, "Because it's important, I let you go. You are a prince, so you should set an example and do your best. My sister believes in you."

Fu Xiaobo shook his head.

“I don’t know how to provide disaster relief.”

"Then my sister won't care. If you can't do it, then you don't have to come back. Just live a life of drunkenness and debauchery in Jiangnan."

"Royal sister, are you really sending my brother to Jiangnan? That's a great place. If that were the case, I wouldn't come."

The emperor snorted coldly: "You are still happy to be demoted to a commoner?"

If you fail to do it well, you will be demoted to a commoner?

Wen Xingchen also said: "Fourth cousin, you must work hard, otherwise you won't be able to see this princess again in the future."

Xiao Bo: “…”
