Chapter 285 The Shen Family Donates Money
The eldest prince and Censor He were standing in the main hall. When they heard the emperor order Shangguan Yunting to go to Jia County, Pingzhou to provide disaster relief, they immediately looked worried.
After leaving the palace, the two exchanged glances and returned to their residences. The eldest prince returned to his study and quickly ordered, "Shu Feng, go to He's residence and tell my grandfather to pass on a message to Steward He of Xiping Mountain. He tells him to keep a close eye on the craftsmen mining in the mountains. They must not be allowed to leave the mountain while Prince Mu is in Jia County. If Prince Mu discovers the secrets of Xiping Mountain, order them to commit suicide, otherwise I will not let their families go."
"Send another message to Pingzhou Magistrate Meng. When Prince Mu arrives in Pingzhou, try to keep him within Jia County. If he leaves Jia County, someone must be secretly monitored. If they discover Xipingshan's secret, they must find a way to make him never return."
"I obey my orders."
Censor He returned to the mansion and paced back and forth in the study. It was easy to imagine what kind of ending the entire He family and the eldest prince would face after this incident.
He quickly sent his confidant to arrive at Jia County, Pingzhou before Shangguan Yunting and take care of everything.
At this time, the housekeeper brought Su Feng to Censor He's study, "Master, Guard Su requests to see you."
"Come in."
"I have met Censor He."
"Shu Feng, is the eldest prince here because of the Pingzhou incident?"
Su Feng whispered, "He Yushi, the master is worried that Prince Mu will discover the secret of Xiping Mountain when he goes to Jia County in Pingzhou. He has sent a subordinate to ask He Yushi to pass a message to Manager He, instructing him to keep a close eye on the craftsmen mining. If Prince Mu discovers them, they must all commit suicide. If necessary, Prince Mu must not return."
"Shu Feng, go back and tell the Crown Prince that I have already sent someone to take care of everything before Prince Mu arrives in Pingzhou. Please rest assured."
"That's good. I'll take my leave."
The next day, Shangguan Yunting watched Shen Rou sleeping soundly, tiptoed out of the room, and ordered Chunyan and the others not to disturb Shen Rou's rest.
"Han Lin, I have left ten guards for you to command. You must protect the princess and the two children."
"I swear to protect the princess and the two young masters until my death."
Shangguan Yunting and ten guards rode at full speed to Jia County, Pingzhou.
At noon, Shen Rou slowly woke up and touched the place beside her. The quilt was empty.
She slowly stood up. Chunyan and Xiayu were guarding the door. When they heard the sound from inside the room, they hurriedly asked, "Princess, are you awake?"
"Come in."
"My Lord, when did you leave?"
"My princess, the prince left the palace at 1:00 AM and told me not to disturb your rest."
"Chunyan, help me change my clothes. I want to go to the palace to see the emperor."
"The slaves obey."
Shen Rou walked to the dressing table and sat down, Chunyan and Xia Yu began to dress her up.
"Is Xiaoxue up yet?"
"County Lady, I came here twice, but when I saw you weren't awake, I left."
"Tell her to come here."
"Yes."
Shen Rou had just finished dressing up when Shen Xue came over slowly, "Sister, you are so beautiful."
"You are beautiful because you have changed a lot since you grew up. How beautiful can I be when I am pregnant?"
"Even if you're pregnant, it can't hide your noble and elegant temperament."
"My sister is becoming more and more talkative."
"I am telling the truth."
"How much silver do you plan to donate?"
"I'll donate 500,000 taels, and you'll donate 500,000 taels, okay?"
"I spoke to your brother-in-law last night, and he said that donating six or seven hundred thousand taels would be enough to shock the civil and military officials."
"I'll just give it as a token of my appreciation. After all, I just got back, and you're the most important person. You donate 500,000 taels, and I'll donate 100,000 taels. It will show your generosity even more."
Shen Xue said gratefully: "Sister, you worked hard to earn all this money, but I used it to show off."
"Isn't it all for you and your brother that I make money? Your having a good future is my biggest wish."
"Thank you, sis."
"Silly girl, it's too formal for an elder sister to thank me like a mother."
"I will always remember your kindness."
"Okay, stop being sentimental. After breakfast we still have to go to the palace."
Shen Xue supported Shen Rou and walked slowly towards the side hall. They could hear the laughter of the elderly and children from a long distance away.
"Ever since Yan'er and Qing'er came back, they've been having fun every day."
"There are only four of you on the island. They are so lonely. They must be happy to be back now."
"Mother, you are here."
"Have you had breakfast?"
"We ate it with my great-grandmother and great-grandfather."
"I will follow my mother into the palace to pay my respects to your Imperial Uncle and Imperial Grandmother."
"Yes."
Shen Xue quickly ordered, "Han Lin, have someone carry the large and small wooden boxes in my room onto the carriage."
"Yes"
After breakfast, Shen Rou took her sister and two children to the palace in a carriage.
After entering the palace, the sisters walked in front, Su Mo and Su Xi followed behind with the two children in their arms, and the guards carried the boxes to keep up with them.
Chen Fu was standing at the entrance of the main hall. Seeing Shen Rou and the others coming, he greeted them with a smile, "This old servant greets Princess Mu, greets the two young masters, and greets the Princess of Ya'an County."
"Eunuch Chen, please excuse me. Is the Emperor here?"
"Yes, I will go in and inform you. Princess Mu, please wait a moment."
Shen Rou nodded softly.
The emperor sat in the hall in deep thought. He was troubled by the thought of Concubine Rong's child. After all, it was his own child. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. If it was a princess, it wouldn't matter.
What if the prince leaves hidden dangers for the royal family in the future? The kingdom of Da Qi is the foundation laid by the ancestors of the Shangguan family. The emperors of all generations will not allow foreign women to have royal blood, so as to prevent Da Qi from falling into the hands of foreigners.
He knew clearly what was more important, and he must not let this child be born, as this would break the royal family's century-old taboo.
Eunuch Chen came to the emperor's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, Princess Mu brought two young masters and the Ya'an County Master to the outside of the palace to request an audience."
"Xuan."
Shen Rou entered the center of the hall and knelt down to pay her respects. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
"Princess Mu, please excuse me. Please take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Yan'er and Qing'er, come to Uncle Huang."
The two children came to the emperor happily. The emperor held them and sat them on his lap. They lay on the table and looked around.
"Princess Mu, being pregnant is very difficult. You don't need to come to the palace to pay your respects so often."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I heard that the disaster in Jia County, Pingzhou was severe, so I brought my sister here to donate some money for disaster relief. I hope the people of Pingzhou can overcome their difficulties as soon as possible."
After hearing Shen Rou's words, the emperor immediately felt that the sisters were kind-hearted and understood the righteousness of the matter.
"I am deeply comforted. The Princess and the Princess of Ya'an care deeply about the people of our dynasty, which makes many civil and military officials and nobles in the court ashamed."
"I wonder how much silver you plan to donate this time?"
"Your Majesty, my sister will donate 500,000 taels, and I will donate 100,000 taels, for a total of 600,000 taels and 200 taels, plus these two blueprints."
Eunuch Chen quickly took the design drawing from Shen Rou's hand and presented it to the emperor.
After hearing what Shen Rou said, the emperor looked at the design drawing with a surprised expression. The addition of new weapons to the army will greatly strengthen our army.
Five hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. Even if the ministers in the court have millions of taels of silver, they may not be willing to donate so much to help the suffering people. It is rare that these sisters make money with their own abilities and are so generous.
"Why is there still two hundred and two?"
"This is a token of my grandmother and uncle's kindness. They feel that the people of Pingzhou are having a hard time, so they want to do their bit to help. So, they also donated two hundred taels of silver."
The emperor nodded slightly. "This is a kind act, and the heart is commendable. I will issue an edict to reward your grandmother today."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity. Grandma said that our family used to be short of food and clothing, but we always had food to eat and a house to shelter us from the wind and rain. But right now, the people of Pingzhou have nothing. They must be desperate and helpless. I hope that my humble efforts can help them overcome this crisis."
"Your grandmother is a role model for the men and women of our dynasty. If everyone follows her ideals, the people of our Great Qi will work together with one heart and one mind to create a better future. We will surely become a powerful nation worthy of its name."
Shen Xue quickly echoed, "Your Majesty is a wise ruler. Under your leadership, Great Qi will surely become a prosperous nation and a strong people, making all other nations look up to you and bow down to you."
The emperor was in a good mood and looked at Shen Xue. "Princess Mu, I am pleased with your sisters' kindness today. I will grant you one thing. As long as it does not violate the law, I will agree to it."
"Your Majesty, my family is harmonious and I have nothing to ask for. I'd better leave this Xu Luo to my sister!"
The emperor turned his gaze to Shen Xue again, "Princess Ya'an, what about you?"
"Your Majesty, I am not donating money for your sake. I just want to do my best to help those in need."
The emperor thought Shen Xue would mention becoming the third prince's consort, but he didn't expect her to answer like this, which made the emperor look at her with admiration.
The emperor looked at Shen Xue with deep eyes and paused for a moment, "Princess Mu, take the two children to pay respects to the Queen Mother. The Princess of Ya'an will stay and chat with me."
"My wife, please retire."
Shen Rou walked out holding a child in each hand, and gave Shen Xue a reassuring look before leaving.
