Chapter 32
"My Majesty also knows that Jianghuai County has suffered a once-in-a-century flood. The Emperor is well aware of the suffering of the people and has specially appointed his servants to collect donations."

"However, if it is just to repair and strengthen the river, I am worried that the donation will not be much, so the purpose of the donation has been slightly changed."

“It is no longer about river maintenance, but about disaster relief, aid and resettlement of victims, and post-disaster reconstruction funds.”

"Only your Majesty knows about this matter. I'm here to tell you everything. I hope it won't be leaked to anyone else!"

Lu Hao said eloquently.

"My father-in-law is very considerate. I must be tight-lipped and consistent with my father-in-law."

Dong Guiren nodded slightly.

"Another point is that the donation location is located at Yuxiangju where I live. The donation will start early tomorrow morning. I hope your empress can come and play a leading role in setting an example."

"After all, Jianghuai County is my mother's hometown. If you don't move, what will the other concubines think?"

Lu Hao added.

"Dong Xiaowan will never give up if he can do something for his hometown. He will definitely arrive early tomorrow morning."

Dong Guiren said, tears came again.

"My queen, don't be sad. I will definitely raise 500 million taels of silver for Jianghuai County."

Lu Hao comforted.

"I once again thank my father-in-law on behalf of the people affected by the disaster in Jianghuai County!"

Dong Guiren said, standing up and kneeling again.

Lu Hao quickly held her hand and said with a smile: "Mother, if you do this again, Xiao Liuzi will not dare to come next time."

Dong Guiren saw him holding his hand, either shrinking or not shrinking, his face turned red with embarrassment, he pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Although this is not the first time that I have held Dong Xiaowan's delicate soft skin, the feeling this time is obviously different.

"Your Majesty's hands are so beautiful!"

Lu Hao praised, easing the embarrassment between the two of them.

"Really? If father-in-law likes it, then look at it more."

Dong Guiren blushed and had no intention of taking it back.

Many eunuchs in the palace have skin-to-skin relations with their masters, and sometimes they even go to bed to play and fool around.

Since Lu Hao is her benefactor, she can still accept this small request.

The slender jade hands have fingers like onion roots, and the hands are as soft as boneless. Together with the delicate and smooth arms, they look shining.

To be honest, he wanted to let go but couldn't let go. Lu Hao really wanted to kiss her.

Dong Guiren's pretty face was flushed, her lips were pursed, and she looked like she was ready to take your pick.

Under the light of the tulle nightgown, the concave and convex outlines inside are vaguely visible.

Lu Hao quickly looked away and tried his best to control his impulse.

"Your Majesty, this servant has resigned!"

Lu Hao stood up and left hastily.

"I respectfully send you to my father-in-law."

Dong Guiren quickly stood up and wrapped himself in his nightgown subconsciously.

Obviously, she had already discovered that Lu Hao was secretly taking a look at the spring scenery inside.

However, she didn't care at all.

Anyway, Lu Hao is an eunuch, what can he do?

Lu Hao left the Mingyue Palace with cold sweat on his back.

Secretly praise what a seductive beauty.

Wait for the next opportunity and see how I deal with you!
In the palace, there is a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Apparently because of Prince Jing's incident, the palace has stepped up its vigilance.

However, his current identity is completely different.

Many palace maids, eunuchs, and soldiers of the imperial army greeted him one after another.

Back at Yuxiangju, Deputy Commander Yan was leading the imperial army to set up a donation site.

Setting up the stage, pulling up banners, planting flags, hanging ribbons, moving tables and boxes, all in all it was a busy time.

Lu Hao quickly joined in to help and quickly integrated into it.

The imperial guards' attitude toward him was not only respectful, but also a little more admiring.

After all, eunuchs with high positions in the palace disdain to do menial work. "For your information, my father-in-law, there is a father-in-law named Xiao Xizi outside who wants to see you."

Reported by Deputy Commander Yan.

"Let him come in. I'm worried that I don't have anyone."

Lu Hao was immediately overjoyed.

"Xiao Xizi pays homage to the father-in-law and thanks him for saving his life!"

Xiao Xizi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him.

This kid was quite tough, and it was his good fortune that he was not beaten to death even with such serious injuries.

However, this boy's life was saved, but his face was pale and his body was still a little weak.

"Xiao Xizi, we ask you, are you willing to stay with me?"

Lu Hao asked.

"willing!"

Xiao Xizi responded loudly.

He came here just to repay his kindness. After all, if it weren't for Lu Hao that day, he would have been beaten to death by Liu Jin.

Lu Hao naturally asked him to stay with him in order to cultivate him into someone he could trust.

……

Yuxiangju.

It is also the palace’s fundraising location.

At the gate, a rectangular platform one meter above the ground, ten meters long and eight meters wide was set up and covered with a large red carpet.

The background wall is a huge wooden wall panel with a piece of white silk stitched on it.

As long as the donation reaches more than 100 taels of silver, you can sign the white silk and send it to Jianghuai County to be included in the local annals and leave your name for future generations.

On the wooden wall, a red banner more than ten meters long was hung.

There are several tables on the stage, which are dedicated places for registering fundraisers.

For example, how much silver was donated, or how much gold and silver jewelry, or how much pearls and agate were donated.

In the open space in front of the high platform, there are circular tables, chairs and stools, which are mainly prepared for distinguished guests who want to raise funds.

Around the open space and on the trails on both sides, there were banners flying and colorful ribbons flying, forming a huge venue.

Next to the table, a huge gong rose.

After collecting donations, a person beats the gongs and drums, announces loudly what so-and-so has donated, and then sings praises.

It has to be said that Lu Hao completely transferred all the tricks from his previous life.

The only thing missing is probably a donation certificate stamped with a jade seal.

In the inner courtyard of Yuxiang's residence, except for the residences of Lu Hao and Eunuch Hai, almost all the rooms have been converted into storage points for donation items, and are heavily guarded.

"Father-in-law, Mr. Dong has arrived!"

Deputy Commander Yan reported loudly.

Lu Hao, who was sitting next to the high platform and directing the overall situation, saw the beauties coming one after another at a glance.

Wearing a lavender embroidered palace suit, with a few small pale pink flowers embroidered on the chest, her long hair was tied up in a bun, with a purple hairpin inserted diagonally.

The delicate and pretty face is lightly painted with pink and red lips, which makes her look a bit casual, but yet elegant.

Dong Guiren came slowly with gentle steps, followed by several palace maids, carrying trays in their hands.

The two looked at each other and cooperated in a tacit understanding.

"I have met Mr. Dong! I am very grateful that your Majesty can come!"

Lu Hao bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Jianghuai County is my hometown. It is hit by a once-in-a-century flood and the people are in dire straits. Naturally, I have to do my little bit."

Dong Xiaowan said loudly.

"Mother, please come with me."

Lu Hao made a gesture of invitation.

When the two of them arrived on the stage, Dong Xiaowan asked the maids around him to donate money and property and register them one by one.
