Aunt Tao glanced at her and respectfully poured some tea for her.
The empress couldn't hide the pride in her eyes. "With this empress taking action, everyone will naturally respond to my call. I heard that Chu Xuanchen held a banquet today to invite people to eat. He wanted the nobles to donate money to him, but he didn't get a single cent. Just thinking about it makes me feel better. "
"Of course, how can he be as charming as you? You are the empress of the palace, who dares to not give you face? After these few days of raising money, you will be rich. "Madam Wei laughed sinisterly.
"Don't worry, if this empress gets rich, you will also have a share. But you must remember that this matter cannot be leaked. "The empress warned.
"Don't worry, when have I ever made a mistake? We have been raising money for charity for many years, and I have long been experienced in raising money. This year will be the same as previous years. When the time comes, we will use tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy some food for the disaster relief. Everything else will be the same as last year. You will get eighty percent, and I will benefit from you and get twenty percent. This year's flood is especially severe, and the people are even more pitiful. Perhaps we can raise a lot more money. When the time comes, we will donate a little bit, and the rest will be our income. "Madam Wei laughed sinisterly.
The empress also smiled proudly. "You are still the smart one, little sister. You came up with a way to raise money for charity. This is a good income. When the nobles hear that you want to help the people, they are all willing to donate money. This business is much more profitable than doing business. "
"Of course, we don't need to donate a single cent. We only need to use your reputation to make a net profit of several million taels every year. How can there be such a good thing in the world? That's why I say, it is better to be the empress. You get money without any effort. "As Madam Wei spoke, she held hands with the empress and laughed heartily.
The empress said, "Then I will have to trouble little sister to deal with tomorrow's charity auction."
"Don't worry, big sister. We will definitely raise more money tomorrow and slap Chu Xuanchen in the face!"
Aunt Tao stood on the side. When she saw them colluding with each other, a trace of disgust and anger flashed through her eyes.

After sending Madam Wei away, Aunt Tao used the excuse of going to work to find Li Jinzhong and told him everything she had just heard.
Aunt Tao and Li Jinzhong were both from Chu Xuanchen.
Previously, when the Emperor told the Empress not to harm Yun Ruoyue, she was the one who heard it from the Empress and told Li Jinzhong.
Over the years, Chu Xuanchen had secretly trained many people and sent them to the palace. They worked for him and would warn him when he was in danger.
It allowed him to think of a way to deal with it in advance. That was why he was able to turn danger into safety every time.
Aunt Tao had also been lurking around the Empress for several years. This year, she gained the Empress's trust and became the Empress's confidant.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hear these conversations.
As soon as the sky darkened, Chu Xuanchen received the message from Aunt Tao to Li Jinzhong from his spy.
It was only then that he found out that the Empress and Madam of the Wei Kingdom had worked together to raise funds for charity and had amassed a lot of wealth.
If the Empress didn't want to amass wealth, it would be difficult to deal with her. Now that she knew she wanted to amass wealth, it was easy to deal with her.

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen took Yun Ruoyue to attend the charity auction that the Empress was holding in the Pear Garden.
The Pear Garden was a theater. The theater was elegantly decorated and had an antique flavor. It was the favorite place for high officials and nobles to come and watch operas.
The Empress chose to hold the auction here, which made the auction a lot more luxurious.
