As soon as Concubine Li said this, there was an uproar in the palace.

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes fell on Ming Jin, and there was shock in their eyes.

Let alone Empress Xian.

The same went for Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yao who had just left. They also looked at Ming Jin with shock.

Compared to Mingyao, she was shocked and scared.

Zhou Zhaoru just stared at Ming Jin blankly.

Even Mrs. Yuan, who was sitting beside her with her granddaughter in her arms, looked at Mingjin.

There was surprise in her eyes.

She also knew about the Tzu Chi Hall. When she talked about it with her eldest son before, she praised the owner behind it a lot.

Unexpectedly, the master behind this was the young Princess Changle.

"Changle, is this true?"

Queen Yuan asked in surprise while holding Mingjin's hand.

Ming Jin didn't expect Concubine Li to bring up this matter here. She glanced at Concubine Xian beside her and saw that the expression on her face was a little bit out of her usual composure. She knew that these two were fighting each other again.

It’s funny when you think about it.

In her previous life, she was often used by Concubine Li to fight against Concubine Xian.

It's just that at that time, Concubine Li used her to humiliate Concubine Xian. It was also because of this that Concubine Xian and Gu Jiarou, who were already dissatisfied with her, disliked her even more.

Ming Jin was too lazy to pay attention to their fight.

She calmly withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes, without refusing or hiding anything.

"Yes."

Mingjin and Queen Yuan nodded.

Because of her agreement, there was more discussion in the hall.

No one could believe it.

Some people even asked Zhou Zhaoru.

But how could Zhou Zhaoru know? He was only embarrassed when asked.

Empress Yuan was both surprised and delighted. She held Mingjin's hand and said, "You kid, you did such a big thing, why didn't you tell me about it?"

"I heard a few days ago that a Tzu Chi Hall had been opened in the capital, and I was curious, if it wasn't for..."

Empress Yuan did not say the rest.

Ming Jin noticed a subtle change in her expression, as if she was helpless, but soon, her elegant face became gentle and loving again.

"You have done such a good thing, I should reward you well." Queen Yuan said with a smile while holding Mingjin's hand.

Even if the owner of this Ciji Hall was not Mingjin, Empress Yuan wanted to find out the truth, have a good talk with His Majesty, and then reward him as appropriate.

What works first and what works next.

In this way, both the people and the officials can follow their example, and in the long run, Daqian will naturally get better and better.

I didn’t expect that this person was Ming Jin.

Empress Yuan would naturally give her a good reward.

Ming Jin was still wondering why Empress Yuan was so helpless and hesitant to speak. After hearing this, she put her mind at ease and declined: "No, Your Majesty, you and His Majesty have rewarded me enough. I can do these things because of your and His Majesty's generous rewards."

"I have received so many rewards for no reason, and I already feel a little uneasy. If you still want to reward me, I will feel even more guilty and don't know what to do."

Princess Fuhua was sitting nearby.

Hearing this, she also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please don't give her any more rewards. She is young and cannot bear so many awards."

Empress Yuan still held Mingjin's hand lovingly, not letting go, but looked towards Princess Fuhua and said angrily, "Aunt knew, but she didn't tell me."

Princess Fuhua smiled and said, "I didn't know it a few days earlier than Your Majesty did."

"I knew by then, she had almost finished cleaning up. This girl has always been opinionated, and I was blaming her." Princess Fuhua said with anger and complaints, but the expression on her face was full of relief and appreciation.

He was obviously happy to have such a granddaughter.

Ming Jin said, "I was just bored and didn't think I could do anything big. It would be nice if I could help a few people. Later, a man named Chen from the Ministry of Revenue told me about this. I thought that my place is big, so it would be good if I could help more people."

"But your majesty, there is really no need to reward me. Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Revenue has already helped me a lot."

"And I didn't do this alone. Xu Zhaojun, the daughter of Lord Xu Sining, the Dali Temple Minister, and my fifth sister all helped me, contributing money and effort. I didn't feel it was hard at all."

"Zhaojun?"

Empress Yuan looked surprised.

She first exchanged a glance with Mrs. Yuan beside her.

There was also surprise on Mrs. Yuan's face.

When Empress Yuan saw her like this, she knew about this. Her sister-in-law was also unaware of it. However, Zhaojun was the future daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. Her participation in this also represented the reputation of their Yuan family. Empress Yuan was naturally happier.

She still didn't let go of Mingjin's hand, but looked down.

When she saw a woman, Empress Yuan smiled and said, "Zhaojun, come here."

Xu Zhaojun was originally sitting with her mother. When she heard this, she showed no fear and walked over with a calm face.

"The Queen."

When she approached, she first bowed to Queen Yuan, and then stood with Ming Jin.

Empress Yuan looked at the two of them. They both looked young and beautiful. What was rare was that they did not have the impetuous and pampered nature of girls of that age.

She did not ask about the Tzu Chi Hall, but just smiled and said to the two of them, "I didn't know you two were so close before."

"We played together when we were young, and we met again on Sister Ajin's birthday. It just so happens that we have similar personalities, so we have been interacting more often in private." Xu Zhaojun replied to Queen Yuan.

Queen Yuan nodded, very satisfied.

"You both have good personalities, so you should interact more often. Changle will be back in Beijing soon, so you should spend more time with her." Queen Yuan instructed Xu Zhaojun.

Xu Zhaojun naturally agreed.

Queen Yuan never mentioned the matter again.

If this Tzu Chi Hall belonged only to Ming Jin, then she could naturally give more commendations, but it also involves Zhaojun. Zhaojun is now half a member of the Yuan family. In this case, it would not be appropriate for her to come forward to commend her.

But Queen Yuan would naturally not let them suffer any loss.

She thought she would tell His Majesty about this at the banquet.

"Okay, go play first."

She smiled and spoke to the two of them.

"Yes."

Mingjin and Xu Zhaojun both responded and then left hand in hand.

Watching the two people leaving, there was still a smile in Queen Yuan's eyes.

She was very satisfied with the marriage her sister-in-law had arranged for Ji Qing.

Ji Qing is young and a bit playful. With a daughter-in-law like Zhaojun to take care of him, nothing will go wrong in the future.

But at this time, Queen Yuan was thinking about something else.

It has been more than four years since Bo Yin lost his wife. She and her sister-in-law have always hoped that he would marry again. They don't care about the other party's status, as long as she is considerate, likable and loves him.

But over the years, no matter what she and her sister-in-law said, he never meant it.

Maybe we can let Bo Yin and Chang Le take a look at each other?

Although Changle's past experiences were not very good, he has a kind character and behaves in a noble manner.

Take a virtuous wife.

If these two people can be together, it will also be beneficial to their Yuan family.

Empress Yuan was thinking all this in her mind, and thought that it was a good coincidence that her sister-in-law and aunt were both here today, so she would have a good talk with them later. If both families were interested, she would pick another time for the two to meet each other properly.

Think of this.

Queen Yuan was very happy.

All she hopes for in her life is for her whole family to live in happiness and for the Yuan family to maintain its current glory.

Just thinking of Yixian, Empress Yuan felt a little depressed again. Yixian had been in the imperial mausoleum for several days, and His Majesty had not agreed, so she didn't know what to say.

I don’t know how the child is doing now.

She heard that His Majesty had sent people to investigate the people and affairs around Yixian recently, but they didn't find anything.

"What is the Queen thinking about?"

Concubine Li Zheng Yue glanced in the direction of Empress Yuan.

When Empress Yuan heard her voice, she quickly suppressed her thoughts. She raised her head and looked towards Concubine Li. Seeing the scrutiny and examination in her eyes, Empress Yuan smiled and said, "I was thinking that Minister Zheng has taught well, and the people under him are all smart and can do good things for Your Majesty."

When Concubine Li heard this, she immediately raised her chin, with a smile on her face and a somewhat proud tone: "Brother is just worried about His Majesty and is helping His Majesty to share his worries."

In fact, what does this have to do with her brother?

Her brother only found out about this yesterday.

She mentioned this matter just to embarrass Concubine Xian, who pretended to be a compassionate and kind Guanyin every day, but always tried to get His Majesty to go to her room to rest.

She has disliked her for a long time!

But now that she had received this compliment, Concubine Li decided to ask her brother to reward that junior official as well. As for Princess Changle, Hua Han could also make friends with her.

The atmosphere in the hall is harmonious.

Everyone was talking and laughing, but a few people looked unhappy.

Although Empress Xian tried her best to maintain her usual appearance, she was not a real Bodhisattva after all, and could not really turn a blind eye.

She didn't expect that the daughter of the Ming family who returned was so powerful.

If she had known that she had such ability, she would have persuaded Changxuan no matter what she said.

Neither money nor power is the most important thing.

But fame is hard to come by.

Having a good reputation and the support of the people is more important than anything else.

She was filled with remorse at this moment.

Gu Jiarou was also unhappy.

Originally, I wanted to ignore Mingjin on purpose, so I suppressed my disgust and brought Mingyao out. I didn't expect that Mingjin would become so popular again.

Now almost everyone is surrounding Ming Jin.

Gu Jiarou felt so angry that she almost died.

Looking forward, I saw Ming Jin being surrounded by people and talking to them. Then I looked around and saw Ming Yao, who used to look good, was now timid and looked unpresentable.

She is annoying just looking at her.

Gu Jiarou was extremely annoyed and no longer wanted to pay attention to Mingyao. She also didn't think about embarrassing Mingyao, so she simply withdrew her hand from her arm and sat aside angrily.

Mingyao suddenly stood here alone.

There are many people in the hall.

In fact, no one looked at her.

Everyone's attention is now on Mingjin.

But Mingyao still felt as if everyone was looking at her and laughing at her, and the sounds in her ears seemed to be amplified and became very noisy.

She was in a state of panic due to the strange noise.

She was shocked and frightened.

She was afraid that Concubine Xian would be dissatisfied with her and want to cancel the engagement.

She was afraid that Zhou Zhaoru would dislike her and think that she had brought shame upon the Ming family...

She was afraid that she had lost her value and would not be able to stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore.

She was more afraid of...

It was Mingjin’s gaze.

She was afraid of Ming Jin's gaze, which didn't care about anything, but just by looking at her, she felt like a thorn in her back, her hair was standing on end, and her skin was covered in horror.

She didn't know where to go.

It was not until Ming Yao met Empress Xian's eyes and saw the displeasure in her eyes that he suddenly woke up.

She was afraid that Concubine Xian would find out, so she hurried towards Gu Jiarou.

"What are you doing here? Get away from me! I'm not in the mood to talk to you now!" Gu Jiarou was not a good-tempered person to begin with, let alone at a time like this.

When she saw Mingyao coming over, disgust became even stronger, and she just wanted him to get out of here quickly.

But she is the only one Mingyao can rely on at this time.

She knew what Gu Jiarou wanted.

She glanced around and saw that no one was looking at her, so she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, do you still like my brother? I have a way to help you."

When Gu Jiarou heard this, she suddenly raised her head.
