Prince of the Qing Dynasty

The two brothers made an agreement, naturally it was not too late, they immediately turned around and prepared to go back to the palace to prepare, but when they turned around, they saw Empress Dowager Renxian standing quietly behind them.

Yinfeng was okay, but Yinti was taken aback, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Empress Dowager Renxian looked at Yinfeng for a while, and then said: "The idea of ​​the prince is a good idea."

After that, until she returned to the palace, Empress Dowager Renxian didn't speak again.

It wasn't until she returned to her own place that Yinti went to concubine Hui to discuss the matter, and only the Queen Mother Renxian and Yinreng were left in the tent, did she speak again: "This is a good idea, why did you give it up to me? Big Brother? If you can make it happen, your Huang Ama will be happy. If you give it to him now, it will become his idea, and when the time comes, the credit will be his, too?"

Yinfeng smiled: "Grandmother, I don't care about that. As long as it can really help the people. Even if it is the big brother's idea, so what? Besides, what he said is not wrong. It's time for the three empresses to jointly sign, if I do it, it will be Yue Zu acting on my behalf."

Seeing that the matter was half settled, Yinreng felt a little more relaxed, and then noticed that Dabai, who used to be happy seeing him in the past, had disappeared today, so he asked Empress Dowager Renxian: "Grandmother, what happened these few days?" Didn't you see Dabai?"

Empress Dowager Renxian's expression darkened: "I escaped from Ningshou Palace that day, and it hurt its leg. I asked Xiao Dazi to take care of it in a quiet place, and let it come back when it recovers."

"Xiao Dazi is smart, and he will definitely take care of Dabai well. Grandma, don't worry too much. Dabai is still young, even if his bones are injured, he can still grow well,"

Yinreng heard that Dabai was injured, and felt very sad, but he didn't want to add to the sadness of Empress Dowager Renxian, so he smiled and comforted him a few words, then took his leave and went back to him, "Eldest elder brother went to discuss with Concubine Hui , I also want to go back to my place and ask them to count the things that can be donated. Grandma can also count here. send out."

Empress Dowager Renxian nodded: "This is a serious matter, go and get busy."

At this time, when Concubine Hui was there, Yinti didn't even bother to drink a few sips of water when he came back, so he discussed the matter with Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui was dizzy from being busy outside that day, and when she came back and heard Yinti's little eunuch say that he had gone out of the palace with the prince, she was already suffocated, annoyed that Yinti was too nonsense.Seeing that Yinti didn't even take a break when she came back, she dragged herself to say so many things, and seeing Yinti's excited look, Concubine Hui felt tired.

"Donate? What kind of donation do you take?"

Concubine Hui reprimanded mercilessly, "I've only heard that wars outside require money to save the palace's expenses, but I've never heard of disasters outside and the palace donates money! Where are you in the palace? Charity Hall?"

Concubine Hui tapped Yinti's forehead hard with her index finger, and said angrily, "Can you save me some time? I'm so busy in the palace with Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong that I don't even have time to drink water! Don't tell me It’s all right to help me, and when you come back, you straighten it out for me. What do you want to do? Why is the prince just saying a word and thinking, and you just rush to help? If the prince wants to do it, you let him do it himself , What are you going to show off!"

Three days after the earthquake, the ground shook and the mountains shook, so Yinti was so frightened that he hid here for three days.She felt sorry for her son, and thought that it would be good for him to hide like this, as long as she couldn't see her, she would be pure.But she never expected that the prince would drag Yinti out of the palace with a few words. She had seen many dead people in the palace that day, and the situation outside the palace was even worse. Could Yinti not be afraid of seeing dead people?

Concubine Hui was angry, annoyed and distressed, and felt that this bad idea was only accepted by her son who was scared and confused.

"The prince said, it doesn't matter what it is, this is what we do for the people!"

Yinti was also annoyed, annoyed that his mother didn't give him the opportunity to make contributions, "The prince said that all of this needs to be recorded and registered. When Huang Ama comes back, he will show it to Huang Ama. Er Niang, Huang Ama loves the people Ruzi, if he knows that you and I took the lead in doing this, he will be happy! In this palace, you can't let the prince show off all the good things, can you?"

Yinti wrinkled his nose and muttered, "The crown prince is favored by Huang Ama, and he overwhelms me in everything! If I don't pay attention to this matter, Huang Ama will think that I, the eldest son of the emperor, is not as good as the prince sooner or later!"

Concubine Hui sneered slightly after hearing this: "He didn't force you to do everything, you are the eldest son of the emperor, even this, he couldn't get past you. Besides, he didn't have Er Niang by his side after all. Even if he had Empress Dowager, that's also a person who doesn't care, and can't help him with anything."

"Then you still don't help me!" Yinti was dissatisfied, Er Niang's words were clearly aimed at him, but she refused to accept his invitation!

Concubine Hui sighed, stared at Yinti's face and thought for a while, finally nodded her head in response: "Forget it, although this matter sounds not very good, but in the end it is a matter of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, I think the emperor will not be unhappy. However, according to what you said earlier, it is not feasible to ask anyone in the palace to donate clothes, jewelry, gold and silver voluntarily. If you really want to donate, you have to follow my rules, otherwise this matter I don't care."

As long as this can be done, Yinti can do whatever he wants, he nodded immediately and said: "Everyone listens to Er Niang and obeys Er Niang!"

"I just don't know, what rules does Er Niang have?"

Concubine Hui said: "The things of the inner court cannot be circulated outside. If the emperor knows that the things made inside are given to the people outside, even good things will be ruined by you! For one thing, the things made inside are the people outside. It cannot be used, and even if it is used, it will be killed. If you give it away, it will harm others. Second, if you give these things out, it will not be of much help to others. Those things are in our hands. Gold and silver utensils are dead lumps in the hands of others, and they cannot be circulated or exchanged for money and are hot, so what is the use of them?"

Yinti felt that what Concubine Hui said was very reasonable: "Then what should we do according to Erniang's wishes?"

Concubine Hui smiled slightly, and said: "To help the victims, of course you still need money and food! Up and down the palace, there is a monthly allowance of money to be paid, and food is also easy to handle. These are all just a matter of my words." But I thought, if we want to be voluntary, few people are willing to donate the money. After all, it is difficult in the palace, but we can let the wind out, saying that the money donated will be registered and will be presented to the The emperor read it. When it comes time to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards, I will follow this booklet. In this way, I won’t have to worry about losing money!”

"The rest can be handled as you said. I will handle it with Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi. You have the reputation of being a supervisor, so you don't need to take care of the specific matters. For the crown prince, it doesn't matter if he sends you off or not." Come on, I'll do it for you! However, you can show off, but you can't take the credit of the prince. If you are in front of others, you still have to say that the prince came up with this idea. After all, he told you At that time, the Empress Dowager was listening in front of her."

Yinti nodded: "Don't worry, Er Niang, of course I know this. As long as Er Niang completes the matter, it means I didn't come up with the idea. This brochure is in front of Huang Ama, and it is also the credit of Er Niang and me." The biggest, that is to show your face in front of Huang Ama!"

"That's it. It's not too late. This matter has to be done before the Ministry of Households transfers the money. I won't delay. I'll go to Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi to discuss."

Concubine Hui drank a cup of tea and hurriedly went to look for Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi.

Yinreng went out of the palace without bringing Mrs. Gu, and when Yinreng came back, Mrs. Gu greeted her in a hurry. Yinreng took her hand and drank the warm tea in the cup, then raised her hand to Mrs. Gu and said: " Nanny, my hand hurts, it's time to change the medicine."

In the past few days, his hand injury healed very slowly. When he returned to the palace just now, the wound was in excruciating pain, and he remembered that he had forgotten to change the dressing due to his busy schedule today.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu didn't have time to complain about her negligence, so she hurriedly called someone to bring ointment to change Yinfeng's wound: "Is the matter of the crown prince finished?"

"No," Yinfeng shook his head, enduring the pain and said to Gu Shi, "Nurse, my work has just begun, but I need the help of my nanny for the next thing."

He told Gu Shi about his plan, and Gu Shi shook his head after listening to it: "Prince, this is not appropriate. It is not acceptable to ask the palace people to donate voluntarily to help the victims. The things in the palace are a Needles and threads cannot be lost outside. Not to mention the things of the masters, even the things of the slaves cannot be given away. Not to mention that this is against the rules, even if it is given out, people outside will not dare to use it lightly!"

Seeing that Yinfeng frowned, Mrs. Gu said again, "If the prince really wants to do his best, he can only give money. The common people live on money. Their houses collapsed and people died, but as long as there are With silver, you can still live. With silver, you have everything.”

"Even if Eldest Brother went to discuss with Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui must have said the same thing. The things belonging to the masters should not be touched lightly. It is impossible to ask the maids and eunuchs to donate clothes. Donate some money as a pawn." It's still possible."

Yinfeng lowered his eyes and thought carefully, and felt that Gu's words made some sense. This is not modern, and there is no distinction between high and low.The things of the rich are donated, and the people in the disaster-stricken areas can use them.But there are many rules in this feudal society, how can the disaster victims use the royal things?How dare you use it?

The eagerness in his heart silenced Gu Shi's words a lot. Gu Shi said to donate money, but how could he have money?

He originally thought about it, and when he returned to the palace, he would donate all his plain old clothes to the children of the common people, but now it seems that this is almost impossible.

Although he is the crown prince, he always went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect all the things he used. Kangxi always rewarded him, but they were all utensils, and he was never said to reward him with silver.

The furnishings in his Yuqing Palace are very old-fashioned, and everything is valuable stuff, but none of them can be used or sold. They are all cataloged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The thing under the name, but still the same sentence - can't move lightly.

If it comes to reality, he is actually penniless, how can he have any money!

Yinfeng sighed in his heart, this is called powerless!
