These people couldn't help but hate the Qiao family.

Two hours later, the auction came to a successful conclusion.

A total of ten items were auctioned off, taking the meaning of perfection.

A total of fourteen million taels of charitable funds were raised!

The head of the Qiao family announced the result.

Everyone present was shocked.

Fourteen million taels!

Even for the treasury of the Great Wei Kingdom, this was a considerable sum!

Many people congratulated the Qiao family discreetly.

In their opinion, Consort Hui's chances of becoming Empress were almost certain.

Jiang Chen also congratulated the head of the Qiao family with a smile.

Of course, he strongly supported the Qiao family's actions.

After all, it was a good thing for the country and the people.

Of course, this was a separate matter from whether Consort Hui could ascend to the position of Empress.

Jiang Chen was very clear on this point.

After the auction ended, Jiang Chen returned to the palace.

In the following days, Consort Hui tirelessly reported to Jiang Chen every day on the operation of the Charity Foundation and the use of those fourteen million taels.

Jiang Chen naturally praised Consort Hui's actions profusely.

Consort Hui and the Qiao family were extremely excited after receiving Jiang Chen's praise.

They had completely overwhelmed Noble Consort Shu's charity foundation!

On this day, Consort Hui was reporting to Jiang Chen on the operation of the Charity Foundation yesterday when Feng Jin's report suddenly came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Consort Le requests an audience!"

Consort Hui's face, which was originally full of smiles, instantly sank.

She was very familiar with this trick. She had done it herself a few days ago, and now she had the opportunity to report to His Majesty every day, and she had even received His Majesty's praise repeatedly.

Now someone was actually learning from her?

This was absolutely unbearable!

Consort Hui then coquettishly said, "Your Majesty, I am in the middle of reporting. Can you not let others disturb us?"

Jiang Chen patted Consort Hui's hand with a smile and said, "Of course, I want to continue listening to my beloved consort's report, but since Consort Le has come to see me, she must have something important to say. I will see her first."

Of course, Consort Hui was unwilling, but Jiang Chen's gentle words forced her to appear generous.

"Alright, then I will take my leave first," Consort Hui said.

Jiang Chen grabbed her and said with a smile, "Beloved Consort does not need to leave. After Consort Le is finished, I still want to hear your report."

Hearing this sentence, the last trace of displeasure in Consort Hui's heart instantly disappeared.

It seemed that His Majesty really valued her!

"Summon her," Jiang Chen said aloud at this time.

Feng Jin led a beautiful woman with a round face in.

As soon as the woman entered the Hall of Diligent Governance, she saluted and said, "This humble servant greets Your Majesty."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "You may dispense with the formalities. What brings my beloved consort here?"

Consort Le raised her head upon hearing this. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Consort Hui standing beside Jiang Chen, and her eyes widened.

Consort Hui saw Consort Le's surprised expression and happily smiled, winking at her provocatively at the same time.

The expression on Consort Le's face was a little unsightly.

She did not expect Consort Hui to be here as well.

But when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, Consort Le took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, this humble servant has an idea that I would like to discuss with you."

As soon as Consort Hui heard this, the look of triumph on her face immediately disappeared, replaced by a look of nervousness.

She had said the same thing to His Majesty a few days ago.

Then, she had gradually reached the point where she could come to see His Majesty every day.

Was Consort Le also trying to learn from her?

Consort Hui's heart tightened.

She absolutely would not allow anyone else to be like her!

"Younger sister, you don't want to create a Charity Foundation too, do you?" Consort Hui couldn't help but say, her voice full of sarcasm and displeasure.

Consort Le's face stiffened, and then she forced a smile and said, "How could that be?"

Consort Hui breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn't directly competing with her.

"Beloved Consort, speak," Jiang Chen said with a smile at this time.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Chen's face, Consort Le was immediately filled with courage. "This humble servant has heard that many people in my Great Wei are afraid to see a doctor even when they have minor ailments, so I want to do my part to help."

"Oh?" Jiang Chen became interested. "Beloved Consort, continue."

Consort Hui was indeed shocked.

She remembered that Consort Le's grandfather seemed to be an imperial physician, and her family had practiced medicine for generations.

If she started from this aspect, it would really be detrimental to her!

Consort Hui quickly said, "Younger sister, the people of our Great Wei have their own ways of treating minor ailments. Besides, it's not realistic to have them all come to the capital for treatment!"

Consort Le heard this and said with a smile, "Consort Hui, it is certainly not realistic to have the people come to the capital for treatment, but we can take the initiative to go out and treat people!"

Jiang Chen was well aware of the open and secret struggle between the two, but he said nothing. He just said, "What does Beloved Consort mean?"

Consort Le then said, "This humble servant has discussed it with my older brother. He has more than twenty apprentices. Although they cannot cure all diseases, they can cure minor ailments with medicine."

"Let them practice medicine in my Great Wei as traveling doctors, and I hope Your Majesty can grant them travel permits," Consort Le said.

In the early days of the Great Wei's founding, the Taizu (founding emperor) stipulated that people must have travel permits to go out on long journeys.

Although this rule had basically become a dead letter over the years, the necessary procedures still had to be followed on formal occasions.

Of course, Consort Le's real purpose was not just the travel permits, but to let Jiang Chen know about this matter.

Otherwise, there would be no point in doing this.

Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Good! Absolutely good! Feng Jin, immediately prepare twenty travel permits and give them to Beloved Consort!"

"Yes!"

Consort Le was overjoyed when she saw that her goal had been achieved. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It is I who should thank Beloved Consort."

Jiang Chen chuckled and then took the initiative to say, "By the way, the people of our Great Wei have a strong sense of vigilance. If they take the initiative to come to your door, they might be beaten out."

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "Feng Jin, draft an edict to inform the people of the world about this matter. Also, take twenty certificates and give them to Beloved Consort so that the people of the world know about this."

"Yes!"

Consort Le was even more delighted upon hearing this.

In this way, the whole world would know about the good deeds she, Consort Le, had done!

Consort Hui, who was standing beside Jiang Chen, became anxious as soon as she heard this.

The Charity Foundation did not have Jiang Chen's decree. She quickly said, "Your Majesty, this humble servant is also afraid that the Charity Foundation will be regarded as a scam. Please issue a decree as well."

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "Beloved Consort, don't worry! There will be! There will be everything!"

Two edicts were issued one after another, which made the other dozen or so pregnant concubines eager to try.

If they didn't take action, Consort Hui and Consort Le would steal all the limelight!

So, in the following days, these dozen or so concubines came to report matters to Jiang Chen one after another, as if they had agreed on it.

What they said, of course, were all good deeds done for the sake of the people of the world.

Jiang Chen agreed to all these requests and gave each of them an imperial decree.
