He said he was poor because he was afraid that the Emperor would find out if he was donated too much!
Yun Daimeng stayed outside of the door for a while before she turned around and left...
Returning back to the Fallen Phoenix Garden, Yun Daimeng found Xiang Cai and took out the invitation card with the word "Gilt Steel" written on it. "Xiang Cai, find a few Attendant s with fast hands and legs, and tell me a list of all the rich merchants in the capital! We need to do some big things! " Hearing that the Miss was richer than the Prince, Xiang Cai was shocked. In the entire Capital City, there were probably no people that were richer than the Prince, right?
Xiang Cai: "Miss …" Seeing Xiang Cai's doubtful expression, Yun Daimeng explained: "These wealthy merchants all want to hook in with the imperial family, this Princess will give them the chance."
Xiang Cai was even more confused now. What was the reason behind Princess's actions? Yun Daimeng smiled mysteriously and let Xiang Cai prepare. She held the invitation in her hand and smiled brilliantly!
The next day...
Early in the morning, Xiang Cai asked the Kitchen to prepare enough pastries. Today, the Princess Empress was going to organize a chrysanthemum feast, and this time, he was inviting the real wives of the merchant families. Beiming Han sat on his chair with a slight headache, while the old butler stood respectfully in the middle of the room, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
Beiming Han: "Why did Princess suddenly remember to hold a chrysanthemum feast?"
The butler said: "old slave is also suspicious, do you want old slave to send someone else over later to investigate?"
Beiming Han: "No need!" A mere chrysanthemum viewing feast was not enough to ruin his Darknorth Prince Mansion!
One after another, the Carriage stopped at the entrance of the Prince Mansion, and all of the well-dressed noble ladies came to the Prince Mansion to attend the banquet. This time, none of the guests were from Madame officials, and all of them were the wives of renowned rich merchants. One after another, the Attendant led the women into the garden shyly. At this time, the chrysanthemums in the garden were blooming, and not long ago, Yun Daimeng had picked all the flowers in the garden clean. It was fortunate that she had watered the spatial water and allowed the flowers to sprout in just a few days.
The flowers in the autumn had withered, but the chrysanthemums were still prideful enough to be admired.
Yun Daimeng had long since put on his clothes, and today, she was still dressed in plain clothes. There was no other decorations on her head other than a jade hairpin.
The women all looked at Yun Daimeng and thought: This is probably a Hongmen Banquet!
Yun Daimeng took a seat and said: "Today, we are all sisters from our own clan, there is no need to stand on ceremony, let us sisters eat and drink well!" The group of maidservant s brought the pastries one after another to the table. Their banquet was held in the largest pavilion in Prince Mansion, and below it was a field of chrysanthemums. At this time, one of the Female laughed: "Princess's hairpin seems to be pretty good, I think you must be very fond of it!" Upon hearing that, Yun Daimeng laughed bitterly: "There is nothing that I don't like. I heard that there are victims everywhere, so it's better for those dead things to just be donated and sold to help the Prince share their burdens, to save the! We, women, cannot go on the battlefield as officials, but we can use our own ways to help our country share its worries! " These noble ladies were all scolding the fox one by one. Wasn't this obviously digging a hole for them to jump into?
Donating or not was voluntary. If he donated it, he would be able to gain a good reputation in front of the Princess. If he didn't donate, hehe …
Female, who had just spoken, gave her bangle and hairpin to Yue Yang for him to use as a hairpin. He donated everything else to Yue Yang. Yun Daimeng looked at Xiang Cai, and Xiang Cai swiftly picked up the tray and carefully placed the items on it.
Since the first person had donated, the others naturally couldn't fall behind. They all fought to be the first to donate everything they had. At this time, a lady took out a few silver notes from her purse. The silver notes were originally meant to be given to Princess as a 'greeting gift', but who would have known that … But at least he had done something good!
Yun Daimeng looked at the few thin sheets of paper, and laughed: "Which family is this Madame from? I will definitely report it to the Prince, and have the Prince post a notice stating that all the gifts that the wives have donated will be recorded in the notice. Let everyone in the imperial capital see, we women can also do something for men! " Yun Daimeng said passionately, her words caused a group of women to tear up. Since ancient times, women had no status, and the reason they did so at the beginning was to curry favor with Yun Daimeng, but they never thought that Princess would actually post a notice to tell outsiders! This time, the women who originally felt sorry for the jewelry felt that their contributions were too little. They were afraid that they would be punished by the Master and every single one of them ordered their maidservant s to return home to retrieve their silver …
Yun Daimeng pursed her lips and laughed, she was generous and proper, raised her glass and said to all the women: "I, Princess, thank my sisters for their generosity and help, O first!"
Yun Daimeng had the heroism of a martial artist's daughter, which made everyone let down their guard and chat with him. Time flew by when they were talking, and all of the Madame were slightly drunk.
Perhaps what Yun Daimeng said was right in their hearts.
One of the women laughed, "Being a woman is really tiring. We can't afford to be wrong. We have to guard ourselves from this and that. In the end, we have to become a yellow-faced grandma. The concubines in the family are endless!"
Another Madame began to complain: "Big Sister said that when my Master listened to the song and came back yesterday, he brought along a seventeen or eighteen year old playboy. He thought that he was going to get a room for my son, but who would have thought … "Men …"
At this time, Xiang Cai brought out boxes after boxes of exquisite wood boxes and handed them over to the Madame s. Yun Daimeng laughed and said: ", don't talk about useless things, although men are made up of three women and four concubines, but we cannot let ourselves be wronged, right? These balsam were all personally made by this Princess, just treat it as a gift for a few Big Sister s! After using it, I can guarantee the smooth and tender skin of the Big Sister s! "
As they were talking, more and more maid came back. When they came back, their clothes were all bulging, obviously they were carrying a lot of things with them!
Yun Daimeng only glanced at it, and did not say anything else. The Madame s placed their banknotes on top of it, and Xiang Cai counted them one by one, taking notes!
Even after memorizing it, she would still let the Madame s see it clearly, so as to not let others know that she had stolen the silver's ink!
Time always slipped away unwittingly, and the Madame s were sent off. Yun Daimeng looked at the silver bills and smiled. A chrysanthemum feast had collected so many silver. Compared to the entire nation's refugees, it was just like a drop in the bucket, but she believed that those with high aspirations would be able to accomplish it! A disaster was only temporary!
