Chapter 10 [Reactions from all parties]

Kyoto.

With the influx of countless refugees, the already prosperous Kyoto suddenly became even more lively.

Today, a trend suddenly swept across Kyoto.

The second son of Prime Minister Lin hired people to post notices everywhere, announcing that a "disaster relief sale" would be held at Zuixianju in three days.

The momentum is unprecedented.

The notices were posted everywhere in the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

Whether it was the dignitaries, the common people, or the refugees, everyone saw the notice.

For a time, this matter became a hot topic in Kyoto.

Whether in teahouses or taverns, people were talking about it and vying with each other.

As for the items for the charity sale, they have already been announced.

The belt of a certain minister, the calligraphy and painting of a certain assistant minister, the writing of a certain high-ranking official...

The items are listed one by one.

In addition, there are many boudoir items used by the ladies from prominent families in Kyoto.

For example, things like hairpins and combs.

They are also on that list one by one.

In addition, there are many items from the Eastern Palace on the charity sale list.

It was specially marked on it, and one of the pieces was the prince's favorite jade pendant.

This disaster relief charity sale was created with great fanfare.

For a time, everyone in Kyoto knew that the Crown Prince had done his best to raise money for the refugees all over the world.

Even his favorite jade pendant was put up for auction.

The second son of the Lin family was even more dedicated. He ran around and did everything himself for the charity sale.

The purpose is to avoid any mistakes.

In just two days, the whole city knew about the disaster relief sale and it became a huge event.

Before the charity sale even started, Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, had already won the support of the people.

"Your Highness, please be merciful. There will be someone to inherit the future of Qing Kingdom!"

"Yes, having such a prince is a blessing for us common people..."

"Your Majesty has a good vision in choosing a prince who cares about the people."

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Perhaps, even Emperor Qing himself would never have expected that a simple disaster relief charity sale that had nothing to do with him would inexplicably bring him, the supreme ruler, a wave of good reputation.

At this time, the old eunuch Hou Gonggong actually took a "Letter of Thanks from the People" and placed it in front of Emperor Qing's desk.

This is a letter of thanks from the people of Kyoto, signed jointly and spontaneously.

Looking at the names above, Emperor Qing felt deeply moved.

"What the second young master of the Lin family has done is a great thing. I don't know how he could come up with such an idea." Eunuch Hou praised.

Emperor Qing smiled, "With his warrior mind, he wouldn't be able to come up with this method even if he spent a hundred years."

Eunuch Hou thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, do you mean that there is an expert behind the Second Young Master?"

Emperor Qing looked at the letters of thanks from the people and smiled without saying anything.

He was happy in his heart, but he was still not optimistic about this charity sale.

After all, it was just a pile of junk. No matter what, it couldn't be sold for a high price.

I just hope that in the end, it doesn't become another joke.

Moreover, all the refugees in the world are seeing this incident.

If things fail at that time, it will be a huge slap in the face.

"Show me the list." Emperor Qing said.

The old eunuch did not dare to be negligent and bowed and handed over a list.

"The prince's favorite jade pendant is also being auctioned?"

When he saw the first item among them, Emperor Qing also frowned.

If he remembered correctly, that jade pendant should have been given by him to the prince.

For this, the prince has been wearing it for many years and he likes it very much and never takes it off.

Unexpectedly, it is now being auctioned.

For a moment, Emperor Qing suddenly fell silent.

Minister of Rites, Guo Mansion.

"Dad, this is the list of items for the disaster relief sale." Guo Baokun handed the list to his father.

Guo Youzhi took it, and sure enough, his belt was also on the list. "Dad, will Lin Gong succeed in this?"

Guo Youzhi did not answer, but asked with some consideration:

"What do you think?"

Guo Baokun looked disdainful and said, "The bigger the fanfare now, the more humiliating it will be in three days!"

Obviously, he was not optimistic about this disaster relief sale at all.

"Lin Gong, I'm just waiting to see his performance."

That day, Guo Baokun also noticed it, and Lin Gong almost couldn't help but beat him up.

Guo Baokun has always kept this in mind.

In the past, he always thought that he was also a member of the prince's party.

Now, he finally knew that his father supported the eldest princess, not the crown prince.

In this way, he naturally would not be afraid of Lin Gong.

Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi looked at the name of his belt on the list and fell into deep thought. He said nothing, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui was wearing a white robe and no underwear. He sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, leaning lazily against a pillar.

She never wore underwear in her palace.

In her opinion, it is a kind of restraint, which is uncomfortable and affects development.

Therefore, as long as conditions permit, she usually doesn't wear it.

"Your Highness, this is the charity sale list."

The maid, under Li Yunrui's order, brought a list.

After reading the contents, Li Yunrui chuckled.

"How much can these junks be sold for?"

Naturally, she disdained this.

“It’s very exciting now, but at the auction three days later, under the spotlight of everyone, it will be a slap in the face.”

"Your Highness, do you think that this disaster relief charity sale will fail?" asked the personal maid.

"Do you think he can still sell it at a sky-high price?" Li Yunrui said disdainfully and sneered.

"I heard that the letter of thanks from the people has been delivered to His Majesty's desk." The maid continued.

Li Yunrui waved his hand indifferently, "It doesn't matter. The charity sale failed. While Lin Gong was slapped in the face, he also implicated His Majesty. By then, this matter will not end well."

Thinking of this, Li Yunrui smiled faintly. She suddenly looked forward to seeing Li Chengqian's face turn pale under Emperor Qing's anger.

At that time, she must have felt very happy.

As she thought about it, she actually laughed out loud.

In the yard, laughter echoed continuously and clearly.

The maid stood quietly aside, bowing slightly, with a smile on her lips.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince sent his maid, Chunchan, to the Jiaofang Division."

Li Yunrui paused, waved his hand and said, "This is a small matter, no problem, no need to focus on it."

"Yes!"

Compared to this, what Li Yunrui is looking forward to now is the Zuixianju charity sale in three days.

By then, the scene where no one bids will definitely be very exciting, right?
She decided that when the time comes, she must go to the East Palace in person to see how ugly the Crown Prince's face was.

Then, lend him another tael of silver.

When she turns around, her movements must be graceful, preferably with some laughter.

In this way, it is appropriate to contrast with the prince's ugly expression.

The second prince cleans the palace.

Looking at the list in his hand, the second prince frowned slightly.

"Is Lin Gong crazy because of poverty? He actually sells a bunch of junk!"

Behind him, Xie Bian held the sword in his arms, saying nothing.

In front, one of the Eight Generals, a strategist dressed as a scholar, bowed slightly.

"Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty read the letter of gratitude from the people and was very happy."

The second prince said, "It doesn't matter. By then, the auction will become a joke and it will also be a slap in the face of my father.

At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will suffer the wrath of thunder.

So, there is no need to be envious at this time. "

After saying that, he gently shook the flowing hair in front of his forehead.
