Chapter 33
"Thank you for your donation, and please leave your name on the signature wall."

Lu Hao pointed to the wall covering behind.

"Want to sign?"

Dong Xiaowan was puzzled.

"Reply to the empress, after signing, it will be stamped with a jade seal and sent to Jianghuai County, where it will be spread out to the people of Jianghuai County, and it will be preserved in the local chronicles and leave its name in history."

"Your Majesty is the daughter of the Governor of Jianghuai County, so naturally you should sign your name at the front so that the people can see your kindness!"

Lu Hao explained patiently.

"I didn't expect Eunuch Lu to be so thoughtful. I worry too much."

Dong Xiaowan apologized, immediately picked up the pen and signed his name.

Amazingly, he was in the first row, the first one!
Clang!

Deputy Commander Yan rang the gong, which resounded throughout the palace.

"Dong Guiren donated 1000 taels of silver, a pair of gold bracelets, a gold ring, a gold hairpin..."

Deputy Commander Yan's voice was loud and carried far away.

Those maids, palace maids and eunuchs who were hiding in the distance to watch and eavesdrop heard really clearly.

They were sent by various concubines in the palace to find out information.

Now someone has come out to collect donations, and they have donated so many things, so they have to go back and report to the master.

"As the first benevolent person to donate, I would like to thank you on behalf of the emperor, and on behalf of the people of Jianghuai County, I would like to thank you!"

Lu Hao also said loudly.

The Imperial Guards on both sides, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs present, saluted Dong Guiren one after another.

Dong Guiren looked at the scene in front of him and looked at Lu Hao affectionately, feeling indescribably moved in his heart.

"Now, please take a seat under the stage and enjoy the fruit snacks prepared in the imperial dining room."

Lu Hao accompanied him again and asked the maids who came to give gifts to take their seats and enjoy the exquisite food.

To be honest, Dong Guiren was very plainly dressed, not even a decent piece of jewelry.

Because all the gold and silver jewelry were donated by her.

On this point, Lu Hao admired this woman from the bottom of his heart.

I was secretly glad that I had saved the right person.

The emperor in the imperial study was deeply moved when he heard that Dong Guiren had donated all his belongings.

"Eunuch Hai, go and pass on my instructions. From today on, Mr. Dong will be canonized as Dong Zhaoyi! All kinds of salaries will be doubled!"

Murong Yuan decisively awarded the reward.

Of course, he is also cooperating with Lu Hao to build momentum for the fundraising event.

Sure enough, Eunuch Hai came and announced the emperor's oral decree conferring Dong Zhaoyi on the spot.

The entire fundraising venue was suddenly on fire.

When the concubines in other palaces heard the news, they regretted that they had not taken the lead in donating earlier.

"The Queen Mother is here!"

A voice came.

Lu Hao was also shocked.

"Slave Xiao Liuzi pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Before Lu Hao could kneel down, he was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"Xiao Liuzi, the Ai family is here to donate today, no need to be polite!"

"The Empress Dowager is kind-hearted, compassionate, and considerate of the people of the world. She will surely be praised by all people and leave her name in history!"

Lu Hao quickly flattered him.

Who doesn’t like to be praised?
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this, with a long-lost smile on her face.

"Xiao Liuzi, the Ai family is very happy to share the emperor's worries this time. The Ai family also scolded you before. You won't bear any grudge against the Ai family, right?"

The Empress Dowager said with a smile.

"The Empress Dowager cares about the Emperor and the country. I admire the Empress Dowager from the bottom of my heart. I have only one loyalty to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

Lu Hao's answer was impeccable.

"Hehehe... Xiao Liuzi, come to Cining Palace more often, and the Ai family will be rewarded when the time comes!"

The Queen Mother smiled happily.

"My servant thanks the Queen Mother for your kindness!" Lu Hao quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

It has to be said that the most powerful woman in the palace is also the richest woman.

Although this is an old woman.

But, she is rich, so rich!
They donated 5000 taels of gold, 3 taels of silver, gold and silver jewelry, agates and jade, and brocade cloth, which can be recorded in more than ten pages.

Lu Hao did a full show, praised her, and flattered her constantly, which made the Empress Dowager very satisfied.

Although the name of the donor was after Dong Guiren, Dong Guiren was the daughter of the princess of Jianghuai County. After Lu Hao explained, he didn't say much.

"What? Did the Queen Mother donate money?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother donated a lot of things and packed several big boxes."

"No! I'm going too!"

"..."

News of the Queen Mother's donation spread like wildfire.

The first people who couldn't sit still were the new queen and several noble concubines. After all, they were the most popular people in the palace, how could they fall behind?

Therefore, the new queen Chen Yuhuan, Concubine Hua, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Li arrived one after another.

However, the situation outside the palace was not very good.

Originally, he ordered the Prime Minister to take charge of this matter.

However, maybe he is a eunuch who speaks softly, and the Prime Minister works in both ways. There are few officials raising donations, and the money is even less.

When Lu Hao heard the news, he didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until after lunch that he handed over the affairs here to Xiao Xizi.

Then he took Deputy Commander Yan and others out of the palace and went straight to the Prime Minister's residence.

The Prime Minister's residence is located in the inner city of Yandi City, not very far away.

With a carriage, it only took more than half an hour.

At the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, several guards were leaning on the table weakly and drowsily.

The venue was not arranged according to Lu Hao's wishes at all.

There were only a few tables, and a banner was pulled out behind them, all tilted.

Seeing Lu Hao coming, his subordinates quickly reported to the Prime Minister.

A quarter of an hour later, Yu Qian slowly walked out of the mansion, followed by a group of ministers.

"This servant has met the Prime Minister."

Lu Hao suppressed his anger and stepped forward to salute.

"Eunuch Lu, I'll do the things you asked me to do for you. This is the donation list."

Yu Qian took out a list and handed it to him.

Lu Hao took it and took a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

What a list!

There are only a few people on top, and there are only three to five taels of silver behind. Isn't this just sending beggars away?

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, this is an errand assigned by the Emperor. This... I'm afraid it's not easy to handle!"

Lu Hao said in a deep voice.

"Eunuch Lu, you have to understand that this is a errand assigned to you by the emperor. I am just assisting you. It seems that my difficulty in doing this has nothing to do with me."

Yu Qian looked sarcastic.

Lu Hao's expression changed. He really wanted to take out the Emperor's Sword and kill this bastard.

Obviously, the Prime Minister is still remembering what happened last time.

As the prime minister of the empire, he can be regarded as inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

To actually say such a thing is a crime worthy of death!

However, Lu Hao knew that Yu Qian's power in the court was deeply rooted and it would not be easy to bring him down.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I apologize to you for my impulsive behavior before. I hope you will ignore the faults of villains and forgive me!"

Lu Hao's posture was very low.

With so many Forbidden Army soldiers behind him and so many ministers of the DPRK and Central Government opposite him, it was enough to give Yu Qian face.

However, this old guy didn't seem to buy it at all.
