165 Donation

The arrival of Si Yue raised a subtle feeling in the hall with a harmonious atmosphere. Zhou Shude and Lan Xin's eyes subconsciously fell on Lin Su, while Zhao Yuexin and Wang Liulian secretly looked at Lin Su after looking at the door with the beautiful women.

Lin Su got up, and everyone present immediately stood up, followed her to the door of the hall, and welcomed Si Ye in.

The women were busy again, and then they sat down one by one with Si Yu's seat. Lin Su sat next to Si Yu and poured tea for Si Yu in person, and then whispered, "I never thought that the emperor would come in to attend my concubine's birthday."

"How can I not come to my concubine's birthday?" Si Yu answered faintly and motioned Chang Fugui, who was holding the tray beside him, to send the congratulatory gift.

On this side, Xia Yan immediately greeted him and took over the tray in Chang Fugui's hand.

Chang Fugui saw Xia Yan, with a smile on his tight face. He turned around and secretly glanced at Si Yu, who was drinking tea, and then whispered, "The emperor went to the empress palace in the morning, and now he has just left the Chaofeng Hall."

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and immediately showed a clear look. She put the congratulatory gift from Si Yu at the top of a pile of gifts, and then said, "Thank you, Grandpa Chang for your suggestion."

Chang Fugui nodded slightly, then turned around and stood silently behind Si Yu, while Xia Yan took the opportunity to pour tea for Lin Su to make a gesture agreed before.

Seeing this, Lin Su naturally knew that everything was ready, so he took a sip of tea, looked up and looked at Si Yue with a smile, "This birthday, I originally wanted to cook a few dishes in person, put down a bowl of longevity noodles, and eat it. However, who would have thought that the empress dowager was still thinking about the birthday of her concubine in her heart and gave her 2,000 taels of silver, so that the concubine would make this birthday lively and add a celebration to the harem at the end of the year.

Si Yu listened to her words, and his pale face softened slightly. In the eyes of outsiders, this naturally does not change much, but Lin Su is not comparable to those women here.

She felt stable and spoke more smoothly.

Lin Su's voice was lower. She got up and added tea to Si Yu's teacup. Then she said, "I know that the emperor has been worried about the snow disaster in the north and tens of thousands of disaster victims in recent days."

Si Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Su. Lin Su did not dodge and straight to meet Si Yu's eyes, and his voice was lower. Coincidentally, at this time, Cairo was singing on the newly set stage outside the hall, and it was difficult for everyone to keep staring at Si Yu, but they didn't notice this side.

"How can my concubine not understand the intention of the Empress Dowager?" Lin Su squeezed her lips and smiled and looked deeply at Si Yu. "Although my concubine is clumsy, I won't look at a pit in front of me jumping down silently."

"You are alert." Si Yu smiled and said, "But what are you doing with such a scene now?"

"Your Majesty, you just wait and see. I promise that the result will surprise the emperor." Lin Su said to do it on his seat and patted his hand gently, causing the women in the hall to look back.

"Today, the sisters in the palace can come to my birthday banquet, which gives me face. Now, Lin Su has something to say. If it disturbs the Yaxing of your sisters listening to the play, please forgive me."

She first became polite, and then entered the theme. Her expression also changed from faint joy to faint sadness. Speaking of the past month, the north has been plagued by heavy snow, and countless disaster victims lacked food and clothing. Finally, when everyone still looked inexplicably, she said, "Today is Lin Su's birthday. Sisters give it to Lin Su. This face not only came, but also brought you gifts, but Lin Su couldn't bear to think of the disaster victims in the north who suffered from the snow disaster, so he decided to donate all the gifts sent by the emperor, the empress dowager, the queen, and the sisters. In addition, there are five new sets of winter clothes that do not violate the palace system. In the charity sale in the capital, all the money obtained was donated to the disaster victims in the north.

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Only when Lin Su first mentioned the snow disaster in the north, Si Yue, who guessed what she wanted to do, smiled and even gently clapped her hands and said, "My concubine really has a benevolence. I thank you for those disaster victims."

"Your Majesty, it's really embarrassing for you to praise my concubine like this." Lin Su's cheeks turned crimson, with a faint beauty. Her eyes flowed and slid past Wang Liulian's body.

Wang Liulian was indeed Linglong's mind. When she saw the situation, she immediately understood it. She immediately stood up and saluted Si Yu and Lin Su, and then said, "My concubine is not talented. I still have some private money. Today, when I heard the virtuous concubine mention the victims of the snow disaster in the north, I saw the Empress's virtue and was willing to take out 500 taels to relieve the disaster victims. The pain."

"My concubine is willing to take 450 taels..."

"My concubine is willing to take 550 taels..."

"My concubine took six hundred taels..."

Once there are people as role models, the women present are generous, and some people even donate their own gestures.

Looking at the valuable jewelry collected, Lin Su smiled at Si Yu, silently calculated the silver he had collected before, and whispered in Si Yu's ear, "I privately donated 2,000 taels of silver given by the Empress Dowager. As for these things, if the emperor is willing to accept and let the wives enter the palace on New Year's Eve to greet them, my concubine will promise to sell a lot of silver.

Seeing that Si Yu raised his eyebrows and seemed unwilling, Lin Su quickly said, "Moreover, they bought these things, and they also donated silver. After all, the women in the palace have been generous. Can they still pretend to be nothing?

Si Yu pondered for a moment and finally nodded vibly.

"Do as you say."

At the end of the year, the court finally raised 200,000 taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, which were transported to the north for disaster relief overnight on New Year's Eve, and Lin Su won the "World War I" a complete victory.

After the excitement of this birthday banquet, there are finally more festive meanings in the harem. Although the nature of the empress dowager and the queen is not high, the imperial concubine was excited at the New Year's banquet, and the smile of the prince holding the full moon did not disappear.

Lin Su sat on the side and took a look at Zhou Shude, who had been promoted to Shuyuan, and then at Lan Xin and Wang Liulian, who were only one level lower than her. Her eyes flowed slightly, and when she looked up, she was already smiling.

In this harem, I'm afraid that Zhou Shuxian's position in Si Yue's heart will become more and more unstable.
