The moment she met Rong Chufeng's eyes, Mu Ning quickly lowered her head, looking at her nose and nose, her heart pounding in her chest.

However, even without looking at Rong Chu, Mu Ning could still feel the strong and tangible pressure, like a little rabbit being stared at by a wild wolf on the grassland. At this moment, a layer of white suddenly appeared on Mu Ning's back.

She was so sweaty that she couldn't help but tremble.

Mu Ning had no choice but to try her best to pretend it didn't exist. She shrank and shrank, wishing she could turn into an insect and hide.

Rong Chu took in the changes in Mu Ning's expression at this moment. He squinted his eyes and kept the smile on his lips calmly.

At this time, Mu Ning was not the only one in the Shuanghua Palace who felt chilled by Rong Chu's weird smile, because compared to Mu Ning, those who had been immersed in official circles for many years had been "forced" by Rong Chu's bad character.

Harmful”!

For a moment, everyone in the huge Shuanghua Palace lowered their heads to study the dishes and wine glasses on the table.

Only those foreign envoys didn't know why, and they looked at Rong Chu eagerly. In the eyes of these small foreign countries, Rong Chu was a god-like existence!

"Now that the people of Jizhou are suffering from the snow disaster, they are homeless and starving all over the place. But we are drinking and having fun here. I really feel guilty!" Rong Chu doesn't care what these people think. He has always done his own thing and is the only one in the world.

type.

Although these words directly made everyone present's lips twitch, no one dared to refute him.

"Yes, what the prince said is true! How can we sit back and ignore the people's suffering?!" Someone immediately came out to flatter him.

"If you eat the emperor's salary, you should relieve the emperor's worries!" Some ministers said in an excited voice.

Rong Chu's slender body leaned forward, his phoenix eyes swept across the monster's face, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corners of his lips, "So, let's raise funds today!"

"Fundraising?!"

As soon as Rong Chu finished speaking, everyone in Shuanghua Palace immediately exchanged glances with expressions of "I knew it"!

Mu Ning was the only one who straightened up suddenly, and her whole body was shaken as if she had been injected with blood. She glanced at Rong Chu calmly with the corner of her eye. Although her ordinary little face was still calm,

There was no visible change in emotion, but her beautiful eyes already showed signs of decadence.

Just rely on it, she knew that this monster didn't save her out of kindness at all!

Mu Ning resisted the urge to look up to the sky and roar.

Breathe deeply, breathe deeply again!

I saw Mu Ning not squinting, stretching out her stiff fingers to pinch a white jade cup filled with dew in front of her, and then even more stiffly, she slowly and slowly brought the cup of dew to her mouth.

"Hey, Luan'er, what are you doing? You can drink it even with your mouth closed?" Rong Yuqing was the first to notice something was wrong with Mu Ning. She turned around and saw that Mu Ning was feeding Qiong to her chin strangely.

dew.

"Ah? Oh!" Mu Ning heard the sound and looked down, only to find that the cup of jade dew had been poured on her chin, and the crystal jade liquid was dripping on the front of her clothes, almost drowning in front of her body.

.

Mu Ning's eyes twitched and she quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped it.

At this time, everyone present had already started to donate money one after another.

"I will give you three thousand taels!" Minister Zhao Shangshu was the first to speak out.

"Zhao Shangshu really cares about the people and has a kind heart!" Bai Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said with a smile. Before the proud smile on Zhao Shangshu's face broke out, Bai Shangshu suddenly said, "I will give you eight thousand taels!"

The smile on Zhao Shangshu's face suddenly froze.

Mu Ning also raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Shangshu. It turned out that this person was Zhao Qingchun's father. No wonder the fat-headed Shangshu had been staring at her with unkind eyes since she came in.

"..." The donations from the ministers continued, and naturally some officials tallied up the amount of money and materials reported by the ministers.

Rong Chu sat lazily in the first place and seemed to be talking to the emperor. The emperor only showed a little anger when talking to him.

Mu Ning was a little restless. She wanted to dodge, but how could she dodge in this situation?

Although Rong Chu was talking to the emperor, the corner of his eye was always paying attention to Mu Ning, and the light in his pair of brilliant phoenix eyes was changing.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Your Majesty, we have raised a total of 387,200 taels of silver, 500 shi of grain, and cloth..." After a while, the official who was counting the donations came over to report the results to the Emperor Yu Rongchu.

The emperor still had no expression, but Rong Chu slightly frowned, his eyebrows flying into his temples, his slender fingers lightly touched the table, a cold light shone in his eyes, "You are all so generous!"

All the ministers bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak, but they were secretly complaining in their hearts.

Rong Chu took the list, his slender fingers were like jade, and the peach blossom was still sandwiched between his fingers, but his expression at the moment was gloomy and strange, and his golden phoenix eyes suddenly passed sideways and landed on a chubby girl.

Then a strange voice sounded from the minister, "I remember that Mr. Li held a hundred-day banquet for your grandson last month. The flowing banquet lasted for three days and three nights..."

Mr. Li quickly knelt down on the ground, and before Rong Chu could finish his words, he quickly said, "Return to the prince, I just made a mistake. I am willing to donate another five thousand taels of silver and five hundred shi of white rice!"

"Hmm!" Rong Chu glanced at Mr. Li's fat face dripping with cold sweat, and the corners of his lips curved in a sinister way, "I think the jade hanging around your little grandson's neck is pretty good!"

Mr. Li's scalp suddenly exploded, his eyes changed intensely, and then he gritted his teeth and spoke very generously, "My grandson is still young. In order to prevent him from developing an arrogant and extravagant personality, I am willing to donate the jade!"

"That's right, but you can't eat the jade, and you can't exchange it for food..." After hearing this, Rong Chu touched his chin seemingly distressed.

"Reporting to the prince, I am willing to pay 30,000 taels of silver to buy Mr. Li's jade!" Among the ministers, Prime Minister Qi said calmly.

"That's great!" Rong Chu nodded.

Mr. Li glared at Qi Xiang fiercely, and his heart was filled with chills. He was literally dripping blood. He had spent a hundred thousand taels of silver to get that piece of jade, just to wear it for his little grandson to ward off evil spirits.

of.

This Prime Minister Qi was really cheating and got a huge advantage. If he had known that he would have donated more before, Prince Gong would not have noticed it.

Master Li was so regretful that he would rather die than die. He returned to his seat and sat down with a dejected look on his face.

Immediately, several ministers who had donated less were named by Rong Chu. Naturally, these people did not wait for Rong Chu to say more, and immediately expressed passionately that they had said something wrong.

In the blink of an eye, the numbers on the list soared at a rocket-like speed, and soon a zero was added to the three hundred thousand!

Mu Ning stared at Rong Chu dumbfounded, feeling as if there were ten million grass and mud horses running wildly in her heart. With just a few words, he could get those ministers to donate money.

She couldn't help but look in admiration at this big monster that she hated so much.

However, compared to Mu Ning's shock, everyone else in the Shuanghua Palace had sad faces, and they were all frightened, wishing they could shrink into the dust, for fear that they would be called out by Rong Chu.

Once their name is called, they must obediently hand over the money.

Don't say anything about not having money, just not having money. Isn't that what the Linzhou prefect did last year?

The result?

The Linzhou prefect was found guilty of corruption three days later. When his house was ransacked, even a needle in his house was taken away by the eunuchs under Prince Gong's command.

As an official, there is some courtesy in dealing with people. Who can guarantee that his hands are clean?

So this is one of the reasons why the ministers are afraid of Rong Chu!

In fact, since Rong Chu became the regent, Daqian's national fortunes have indeed been prosperous under his governance.

In recent years, both the military and the economy, as well as the most basic farming, have been prospering. Especially the military strength has increased significantly. Southern Xinjiang and Northern Xinjiang, which had been in trouble for many years, were also suppressed by his troops. Today's Daqian is one of the most powerful countries on the Kyushu continent.

Moreover, Rong Chu was Bo Wen Guang Ji, wise and wise, although he was a bit violent, but as long as he did not touch his reverse scale, it would be fine.

However, Rong Chu had a bad habit, that is, he especially liked to dig into his ministers' wealth. He would hold a "charity dinner" whenever he had nothing to do, and did everything possible to force ministers to donate money and materials.

In the past few years, all the ministers have felt that their own small treasury, which was originally rich and prosperous, has shrunk sharply. If this continues, they will not even have the money to go home and provide for themselves!

Rong Chu finally stopped calling names and seemed to be satisfied with the donation. When he raised his eyes, he saw Mu Ning's dumbfounded look. The thick black eyebrows that grew into her temples raised. He suddenly smiled evilly, "Well , everyone enthusiastically donated today, I am very satisfied!”

Mu Ning felt a chill in her heart and quickly lowered her head.

"The emperor is wise, the prince is wise!" Some ministers hurriedly slapped the dragon's fart.

"Everyone has donated, and I am embarrassed to be empty-handed." Rong Chu narrowed his eyes and smiled deceitfully, "Miss Feng San, you think so!"

Mu Ning was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Rong Chu with doubts in her eyes.

Not only was Mu Ning confused about what Rong Chu meant, the others also looked at each other in confusion.

The queen, who had been bowing her head in silence, also raised her head at this time. Her eyes were no longer as crazy as before, and she seemed to have regained her composure. But only she knew that beneath her calm surface, her heart had been twisted by jealousy. .

Rong Chu, he is indeed interested in that ugly Feng Jingluan!

"Emperor's younger brother?" Even the emperor turned to look at Mu Ning curiously, as if he was examining what attracted Rong Chu to her.

When Rong Chu saw Mu Ning just looking at him blankly, a strange smile suddenly flashed in Feng's eyes, but his voice changed, "Miss Feng San, what do you mean? Are you going to give up after all?" ?”

As he spoke, Rong Chu also made a sad expression, and his slender jade-like fingers were raised up in the shape of orchid fingers, covering his face. Coupled with his exquisitely painted and handsome face with enchanting phoenix eyes, Immediately, a chill ran down Mu Ning's back.

"Beginning, chaos ends in abandonment?" At this time, even the calmest emperor was no longer calm. He widened a pair of red eyes, stared blankly at Mu Ning, who was also stunned, and then turned to look at Rong Chu, who looked plaintive as if he had been dumped a hundred times, obviously couldn't figure out what happened.

When everyone heard this, their reaction was as if their head had been pinched by the door, and everyone was stunned.

In Shuanghua Palace, there was an instant silence, a deathly silence.

No one spoke.

Mu Ning's face turned pale and her lips were trembling. She never expected that Rong Chu would say such a thing.

Starting with chaos and finally giving up? Fortunately, he can say it out loud!

When did she, she, she have an affair with him?

We haven’t even started yet, so where is the confusion and abandonment?

The Queen's eyes were as cold as ice, with a knife blade stuck in the ice. If eyes could kill, I'm afraid Mu Ning would have died in the Queen's eyes.
