On the morning of the fourth day, the emperor inquired about the preparations, Bai Sheng answered truthfully, and took the lead in donating half a year to the people of Anhui, which was praised by the emperor.

The faces of the hundreds of officials in the hall were somewhat ugly. The flood in Anhui and Huai Mansion, they naturally couldn't stay out of it, and they originally planned to donate three months' salary, but the twelve princes donated it directly in front of the emperor for half a year. But with the twelve princes in front of him, the emperor could no longer be happy with their meagre three months, but he would feel less and displeased.

First, several princes stood up and agreed, and then the civil and military officials also came out one after another, and they were very reluctant to shout with infinite glory on their faces: "The ministers are also willing to follow the example of the Twelve Highnesses and donate half a year to express their hearts for the court and the people." ”

Bai Sheng hooked the corners of his lips, seeing the grievances of these important ministers of the country who were not able to be powerful and prosperous on weekdays, and they did not dare to be angry or speak, he only felt extremely happy in his heart. But this is not his purpose, and he will need their full support in the future, and he can't offend people all at once.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Bai Sheng stood up again: "Qiqi Father, Erchen is a disaster relief minister, no matter how much money and things are taken out for Wanhuai, it is understandable, Erchen's move is not to force the officials to donate silver." This is a good deed, since the more people participate, the better, and as a courtier, he should also contribute to the people. But it can't be for the relief of the victims, but the officials are short of firewood and rice, after all, this is the source of livelihood for a large family. Erchen thinks that it is most advisable to do what you can. It is better to make a charter, and courtiers who want to contribute to disaster relief can come to their sons, donate money and materials, a thread is not too little, and a thousand taels of silver is not too much. They are all for the country to share worries and save the people from fire and water, and the same merit is immeasurable. The son will keep a record of all the money and goods and donors one by one, so there is no need to worry about any mistakes in the middle. I don't know what my father wants?"

The emperor was silent for a moment, as if he was seriously considering Bai Sheng's proposal, and soon said, "The Twelve Princes deeply feel that this method is feasible. I wonder if all Aiqing agrees?"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that they would lose half a year's salary today, but the twelve princes turned it into "doing what they can" in a few words, which was much less than the original expected three-month salary, and they were overjoyed, and they all said "the holy is wise", "the twelve highnesses are sympathetic to the ministers", "the heart of the twelve princes is the blessing of the great viet", ...... All kinds of sycophants are praising the emperor and Bai Sheng.

"In that case, let's do it according to the method of the Twelve Princes. The emperor looked coldly at the smiling ministers in the hall, and said flatly. He then ordered a retreat.

......

At the end of the day, Bai Sheng was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, and when he was finally able to go back to the house for a while, it was already the moon.

Before he stepped into his Yunhai Pavilion, he saw Helian Yanran standing in front of the courtyard gate waiting for his return. His heart warmed, and Bai Sheng, who was still so tired that he couldn't just lie on the ground and fall asleep, suddenly regained his spirit and walked forward with a smile.

"The courtiers greet Your Highness. Helian Yanran saluted.

Bai Sheng walked up quickly, scooped her up, and smiled affectionately in her ear: "Didn't you say that you don't have to salute in the mansion? Why haven't you rested so late, are you really waiting for me?"

Although Bai Sheng usually likes to do some intimate acts, it is the same as holding hands and asking for an ear, and it is indeed the first time that he has almost hugged like today. Helian Yanran frowned and wanted to retreat some distance, but he heard Bai Sheng's irrepressible voice of joy in his ears: "Yanran, I did it." Although it was only the first step, I didn't lose to those old foxes, because I didn't lose to my brothers. Yanran, I'm so happy. ”

"Your Highness has done a great job. Helian Yanran said lightly in affirmation.

"I also feel like I'm doing a good job. Bai Sheng looked at Helian Yanran with a bright smile, "I will do better in the future." ”

"The courtiers believe in Your Highness. Helian Yan quietly walked away from Bai Sheng, and said, "The courtier knows that His Royal Highness is busy with official business today and may not have time to eat, so she ordered the cook to prepare some food so that His Highness can cushion his stomach." ”

"I'm a little hungry when you say that. Bai Sheng smiled and let go of the arm that was holding her waist, and shook her hand instead, "Let's go, go to dinner with me." ”

After entering the house, Bai Sheng was served by the maidservant and cleaned his hands, and then withdrew from everyone. Yanbo knew that the two had something to talk about, so he closed the door with great eyes and guarded not far from the door, which could prevent others from coming to disturb and snoop, but also not to hear the conversation in the house.

"Yanbo is really good. The few under my hands thought they were pretty good, but compared to her, they couldn't be seen. Bai Sheng said with a smile.

Helian Yanran laid a chopsticks for Bai Sheng, and said, "Your Highness has won the award, and Yanbo still needs to be honed." ”

Bai Sheng ate the dish she brought over, praised the deliciousness, put a bowl of white jade soup in front of her, smiled slightly, and said, "Yanran has been working very hard these days, drink a bowl of soup." ”

"Your Highness. Helian Yanran thanked him and scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

Bai Sheng looked at her holding a spoon in her bare hands, and her eating appearance was extremely elegant, and even the rare and superb white jade bracelet rewarded by Concubine Li had become a foil on her three-inch wrist. He remembered the scene when Helian Yanran was waiting for him to return to his house in front of the courtyard gate, and his heart was soft. It turns out that it seems to be quite good to have someone in the family looking forward to returning.

"Your Highness is tired?" Helian Yanran couldn't help but ask when he saw him distracted.

Bai Sheng smiled absently, ate a few more dishes, and told her about today's court. Helian Yanran listened carefully, and from time to time she also served vegetables, rice, and soup for him, and took care of him very thoughtfully. After the matter was over, Bai Sheng was also full.

"Your Highness is very clever in this move. The officials are grateful to His Highness for thinking about them, but they will not be stingy for the sake of face. His Royal Highness remembers people's hearts, and there will be no shortage of real money. Killing two birds with one stone, no matter how you look at it, it is earned. Helian Yanran concluded.

"I think I've been with Yanran for a long time, and I've got some aura of doing business. Bai Sheng raised his eyebrows smugly, and said, "It seems that I will have to get closer to Yanran in the future, and I still want to learn how to empty the white wolf." ”

"Your Highness is shrewd and wise, and you will be able to learn without a teacher. Helian Yanran flattered without changing his face.

Bai Sheng couldn't help but smile, how could anyone be so perfunctory and perfunctory as she was? However, he still sounded quite useful.
