After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Collecting donations?" Xiao Rongxuan, in the Third Prince's Mansion, looked at the guard who reported the news, frowned and said, "Are you sure the news is correct?"

"Your Majesty, this is the news that the person who was sent to hide in the Prince's Mansion came back personally. It is said that His Majesty the Prince wants to take advantage of the heavy snowfall and house collapse incident to repair the houses to win over the people and change his previous reputation." The guard lowered his head. Report quickly.

Xiao Rongxuan sneered, "I have been notorious for so many years, but now I want to redeem myself."

"Your Highness, this time the house collapse has caused some people to panic. If His Highness the Crown Prince can do it, people may really be grateful to him." The guard said worriedly.

"Of course I will not give him this opportunity." Xiao Rongxuan's eyes showed a cold look, "Let someone prepare a car, I want to enter the palace."

Xiao Jinzhi wanted to win over the people, but he would not allow him to do so. He must enter the palace before Xiao Jin and be the first to mention this matter in front of his father.

"Your Highness, think twice." Mu Feng walked in from outside the door, "Raising donations is no small matter. If we can't guarantee that everything will be done in the future and raise this matter in a hurry, we may get into trouble."

Xiao Rongxuan looked at Mu Feng, "It's just a fundraiser. It's for fame. It's not that troublesome."

"Although raising funds to repair houses can indeed win the favor of the people, if the results of the donation are not satisfactory, it will be easier for others to criticize you."

"There are so many wealthy merchants and dignitaries in this city. It's just a matter of raising some silver coins. It's not difficult."

"But rashly launching a fundraiser will also cause dissatisfaction among these people..."

Xiao Rongxuan waved his hand and told Mu Feng not to worry, "As long as we publicize their achievements after collecting donations and give some sweetness and praise on the surface. What's more, since Xiao Jinzhi has already had this idea , I think it will be implemented soon. If we don’t seize the time and continue to look forward and backward, he will only seize the opportunity.”

Mu Feng frowned and wanted to persuade again, but when he saw Xiao Rongxuan's expression, his words of persuasion finally stopped on his lips. He just looked at Xiao Rongxuan and said something suddenly.

"Does His Highness want to win the hearts and minds of the people, or does he want to win over His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Is there any conflict between the two?" Xiao Rongxuan snorted, "To win the hearts of the people and make Xiao Jinzhi's plans fail, I want both."

After saying that, Xiao Rongxuan quickly left the Third Prince's Mansion and sent people straight to the palace.

On the palace path leading to the imperial study, Xiao Rongxuan saw Xiao Jinzhi walking in front.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence."

Xiao Jinzhi stopped and turned around to look back. If Xiao Rongxuan took advantage of this moment to quickly step forward and walk to Xiao Jinzhi's side,

"I wonder why the emperor came to the palace today?" Xiao Rongxuan asked with a smile on his face, knowing full well.

Xiao Jinzhi slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "It has nothing to do with Third Brother."

"Oh, brother Huang is really indifferent."

Fortunately, he arrived in time. If it had been any later, Xiao Jinzhi might have really taken the lead.

At the door of the royal study, after the announcement, Xiao Jinzhi and Xiao Rongxuan walked in together.

Emperor Xiao was reviewing the memorial. After the two of them saluted, he put down the ink pen in his hand and looked up at them.

"You two came here together today. What's the matter?"

"I would like to report to my father that the emperor and my brother are not together. They just met on the road." Xiao Rongxuan spoke first, and then said with his hands, "I have an important matter when I enter the palace today. I want to ask my father for instructions. I hope I can get permission from my father."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Xiao asked.

"The weather has changed dramatically in the past two days, with a sudden heavy snowfall, which even caused houses to collapse, causing panic among the people. Although the weather has been fine in the past two days, I feel that some residential houses in the imperial city should be carefully repaired, so I hope My father can allow us to launch a fundraiser, and the proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to repair the house, so that we can be prepared for danger in times of peace and nip it in the bud.”

Xiao Jinzhi quickly turned his head to look at Xiao Rongxuan and frowned subconsciously.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Xiao Jinzhi's reaction, and a proud smile appeared in Xiao Rongxuan's eyes.

Without waiting for Emperor Xiao's reply, he spoke again: "Father, although the proposal is a bit sudden, I have been thinking about it carefully these days. If the people are allowed to repair it on their own, I'm afraid they won't have enough money. If the imperial court comes forward, , and a large sum of money has to be spent from the treasury. Both of these are somewhat inappropriate. However, fundraising is different. It can not only show the court's love and care for the people, but also give those merchants a chance to express themselves. It can be said that Achieve multiple things with one stone.”

Xiao Rongxuan spoke very calmly, as if he had been thinking about this matter for a long time.

Emperor Xiao looked at him. After a while, he nodded and said, "This is a feasible method, but it's just about raising donations..."

"If Father is at ease, I am willing to take full responsibility and will do my best to never let Father down." Xiao Rongxuan took over Xiao Emperor's words and spoke.

"Okay, in that case, I will leave this matter to you. If you need to cooperate with the transfer, just go and give the order."

"Yes, I would like to thank my father!" Xiao Rongxuan immediately accepted the order.

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to glance at Xiao Jinzhi.

The latter's face turned gloomy and he stood there until Emperor Xiao asked.

"Prince, why did you come here today?"

Xiao Jinzhi lowered his head slightly and frowned, "I came here today to repair the houses of the people in the imperial city. But... now that the third brother has come up with a proper solution, I can feel relieved."

Emperor Xiao looked at the two sons in front of him, and after a moment, he picked up the ink pen in front of him again to review the memorial.

"Since there's nothing else to do, just step back and leave the donation ceremony to Xuan'er."

"Yes, I will retire."

"My son, please retire."

Outside the royal study, on the palace road, Xiao Rongxuan called Xiao Jinzhi who was about to leave.

"Brother Emperor, I didn't expect that you also entered the palace because of the house collapse. I just don't know how you wanted to solve it in the first place?"

"Third brother, do you really not know?" Xiao Jinzhi stopped and looked at Xiao Rongxuan coldly.

The latter looked innocent, "How could I know about Brother Huang's plans? Could it be that... Brother Huang also plans to propose a donation?"

"Ha." Xiao Jinzhi sneered and said nothing, but the look on his face clearly showed his bad mood at the moment.

Xiao Rongxuan felt more and more proud, "It seems to be a coincidence, but there is no need to be angry, brother Huang. After all... considering brother Huang's reputation, if we launch a fund-raising campaign, I'm afraid the effect will be minimal."

After saying that, Xiao Rongxuan withdrew his gaze proudly and walked away.

When Xiao Rongxuan's figure disappeared completely, the dissatisfaction on Xiao Jinzhi's face also faded away, replaced by a playful smile.

"It seems that the third prince has successfully taken over the donation matter." On the palace road on the left, Chu Huanyan, who had just entered the palace, walked over.
