Medical Concubine Allure: The Prince is Chasing His Wife

Chapter 334 Donation in disguise
The next day, Concubine Li Gui held a chrysanthemum banquet and invited all the female relatives to enter the palace.

While combing Su Xianghe's hair, Xiaochun said strangely, "Why is there a banquet at this time, the border is at war, isn't it good? I also heard that our treasury has no money."

"The Chrysanthemum Banquet is held precisely because of lack of money." Isn't that the idea of ​​calling these female relatives to go.

Concubine Li Gui is definitely not in charge of this kind of thing, it must be Xianzong's intention, but she is very satisfied with the fact that Li Guifei is not the queen, it shows that Xianzong is very dissatisfied with the queen, and he is not even willing to do this kind of superficial effort Do.

"Ah, but doesn't it cost money to hold a banquet?" Xiaochun didn't understand what Su Xianghe said at all.

Su Xianghe explained: "It costs money, but you can donate money if you ask us to go, understand?"

"Uh...it turned out to be like this." Xiaochun suddenly realized that it's just that the imperial concubine can do this kind of thing, which is really surprising.

Su Xianghe finally brought the silver lamp into the palace.

The banquet was held in the imperial garden, but the queen did not come, claiming to be ill, but no one knew if she was ill.

Today, all the wives of the ministers and concubines from the harem attended the banquet. Originally, people like Su Xianghe would not be invited. There is also a Rongwang Mansion on it, so it is enough for the whole family to come. If it is another banquet, Li The imperial concubine would definitely not send invitations to Su Xianghe, but this time, she has no reason not to invite, she can't wait for Su Xianghe to bleed profusely!
Concubine Li Gui didn't come until everyone had arrived. She took a look in the crowd to make sure everyone was here, so she didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "Everyone is here, so I'll just say it." , I invite you to come to the banquet today for two reasons, one is to see the newly blooming chrysanthemums in the Imperial Garden, and the other is to fight the war at the border."

In fact, everyone knows the nature of this banquet, but the money is all their own, and they are definitely not willing to take the initiative to bring it up, so no one talks to it.

Seeing this, Concubine Li Gui gave a look to a beauty Wang who had something in her hands.

Wang Meiren had no choice but to stand up and answer, "Right now, fighting at the border is the most important thing for us, but as women, we can't go to war and contribute to the country."

Concubine Li Gui nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Although we are women and cannot go to the battlefield, there are other ways to contribute to the country. Now that the Southern Jin Dynasty is fighting, the treasury is empty. I donate 1 taels from my heart, and if everyone here has the same idea, you can volunteer to do what you can."

Concubine Li Gui’s words are followed by everyone, everyone looks at me and I look at you, no one wants to be the first person, Li Guifei’s 1 taels naturally they will not donate so much, but how much to donate has become a problem.

Concubine Li Gui frowned, she was so stingy, donating some money would kill her, she looked at Wang Meiren, and continued to let her talk.

Beauty Wang coughed lightly, and said: "I'm just a beauty, I can't compare to a noble concubine or empress, but I'm willing to contribute a little. I'll donate 5000 taels of silver."

Some people take the lead and everyone knows that people will definitely donate when they come.

Zhou Shuxian then said, "I donated 1 taels of silver on behalf of Prince Rong's Mansion."

"On behalf of Zuo Xiangfu, I will donate 5000 taels of silver."

"On behalf of Wang Shangshu, I will donate 5000 taels of silver."

"I represent……"

Everyone donated money, and Qiuyue held the plate and came forward to collect the cashier tickets after everyone finished speaking.

Su Xianghe raised her hand and was about to speak when Concubine Li Gui suddenly said: "The concubine Shizi also came on behalf of the son. As we all know, the son is a rich man in our capital. Compared with today's donation, it should be quite a lot."

You must know that everyone here today represents a mansion, except for the concubines, so the amount donated represents a mansion. Concubine Li Gui pointed out that Su Xianghe wanted to donate a lot of money, otherwise Li Rongjing would be ashamed.

Everyone put their eyes on Su Xianghe, Su Xianghe paused for a moment when he just raised his hand, to excite her?
Su Xianghe, who originally planned to donate 1 taels, glanced at Li Guifei and said, "I will donate 1000 taels."

The entire Imperial Garden fell silent in an instant. Everyone present was a person of status. No one wanted to be taken advantage of, but they also didn’t want to lose their dignity, so they all donated according to their status. People with high status all donated 5000 yuan. After all, Concubine Li Gui donated 8000 taels, no matter how high their status is, they can’t surpass Concubine Li Gui, so they can’t surpass her. Others basically donated 1000 taels, [-] taels, and now Su Xianghe donated [-] taels, which is too much. Is it less?
The smile on Concubine Li Gui’s face paused, turned unbelievable, and then laughed again, "Concubine Shizi, is Shizi already poor like this now? The minimum donation for everyone is 5000 taels, you donate 1000 taels, feel free to say it ?"

Su Xianghe didn't change her face, she didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes at all, she said, "Is there a rule on how much to donate? If Concubine Li Gui feels that 1000 taels is too little, then I don't have to donate, after all I'm just a concubine, and the prince is still killing enemies on the battlefield, so I'm not as rich as you."

Everyone was surprised when Su Xianghe said that he would not donate. Everyone knew what was going on at this kind of banquet. Although the host was Concubine Li, how could she organize it without the emperor's consent, so it was a voluntary donation , In fact, who dares not to donate?Isn't it against the emperor, and you can't wear shoes with your own man later.

"What does the concubine Shi Zi mean by this? We are all from the Southern Jin Dynasty. When the country is in a difficult time, it is so selfish for you to say such a thing. I really feel worthless for the prince!"

If Su Xianghe didn't donate to Concubine Li Gui, she would naturally not let her go, no matter how bad her reputation was.

Su Xianghe said lightly, "As you said, it's a voluntary donation. Moreover, I am from the Southern Jin Dynasty. My husband-in-law is fighting enemies for the Southern Jin Dynasty and serving the country. I am a concubine, but my ability is limited. Only 1000 taels, but the imperial concubine is here to laugh at me for killing the enemy Xianggongqiong, it turns out that in the eyes of the empress, the contribution for the country is silver, so is it not the contribution of my husband who throws his head and blood on the battlefield for the country?"

"You!" Concubine Li Gui was so blocked by Su Xianghe's words that she didn't know what to say. She knew that Su Xianghe was eloquent, but she didn't expect her to bring Li Rongjing out to speak. Didn't the people on the battlefield contribute their strength?
Seeing that Concubine Li Gui was humiliated, Qiuyue immediately stood up and said, "The concubine Shi Zi misunderstood your mother, who is also sincere and wants to do things for the Southern Jin Dynasty. The few shops you opened are so profitable, how can it be possible that they only have 1000 taels of silver."
