After hearing what Jamel Xiao said, Lin Qingyao also smiled, "My husband is right, we just sit and wait for the money to be collected."

After the couple discussed countermeasures, they immediately took action and purchased a large number of cold-resistant items.

Originally, due to the weather, few people were interested in these things, but suddenly some people started buying them in large quantities, which made the merchants very happy and they rushed to promote their goods.

Because the quantity they needed was particularly large, some even gave significant discounts.

Although the couple's relatives and friends did not particularly understand what they did, when they heard that they were doing charity, they all donated generously and contributed money and effort.

After hearing about this, Xiao Jingfeng was very disdainful. "What are they doing? Why are they buying so many cold-weather items in this weather? They really have too much money and nowhere to spend it."

Su Yan was originally reading quietly, but Xiao Jingfeng kept talking beside him, complaining about Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao.

Su Yan was speechless and could not help but reply: "Your Highness, have you never heard of the saying of being prepared for danger in times of peace and taking precautions before it happens? Just because everything is calm now does not mean that everything will be fine forever. No matter what the situation is, it is always right to make some preparations in advance. Moreover, I heard that the couple bought these things to help the poor people. This is a charity. Why does Your Highness think it is unnecessary?"

After hearing Su Yan's words, Xiao Jingfeng was still very disdainful. "Oh, I haven't seen how kind they are on weekdays. Now they think of doing good deeds while the prices of these things are low. I don't know who they are doing this for. They made such a big move, isn't it just to make the emperor look at them with a higher regard? Then they will be good people who know how to sympathize with the people. Not only will they please the emperor, but they will also make the people grateful to them. They are really good at winning people's hearts."

Su Yan glared at Xiao Jingfeng when he heard this. Xiao Jingfeng was really childish.

Since he couldn't compete with the prince, he took out his anger on the prince's younger brother and was dissatisfied with him in every way. He was really petty.

"Your Highness is judging others by your own standards. The Prince and Princess Chen are already very much loved by the Emperor, so there is no need for them to do such things to win his favor. Moreover, the Prince is well-known for being friendly and kind-hearted. He is already loved by the people, so there is no need for him to do anything to please anyone. Your Highness is just complaining about the sour grapes because he can't eat them. This little bit of thinking is written all over his face."

Although Su Yan had not spent a long time with Xiao Jingfeng, it could be said that he had seen through him.

Who told Xiao Jingfeng to always get close to Su Yan and always expose his weaknesses? It's hard for Su Yan not to see it.

Xiao Jingfeng felt a little embarrassed that Su Yanyan had figured out his plans.

"Princess, I don't like what you said. I was just speaking based on facts. How can you say that I am a mean person?"

This time it was Su Yan's turn to be disdainful. "Your Majesty, I am just used to telling the truth. If Your Majesty doesn't like to hear it, you can leave. No one is begging you to come."

After saying this, Su Yan continued reading without even giving Xiao Jingfeng a glance.

"you..."

Xiao Jingfeng was instantly angered by Su Yan's words. He was ignored by Su Yan again.

These days, he would run to Su Yan whenever he had free time. No matter how coldly she spoke to him, he never gave up and was committed to melting the ice of Su Yan.

Unexpectedly, he discovered today that all his efforts for so long were in vain and there was no progress at all.

Su Yan sensed Xiao Jingfeng's anger, but ignored it. He just told Shuangyun, "Shuangyun, take 500 taels of silver from the warehouse and send it to King Chen. We will also contribute."

"Yes, princess."

Shuangyun was about to turn around and leave when Xiao Jingfeng stopped her.

Su Yan's intention was obviously to pay for it herself and not take him with her. How could Xiao Jingfeng allow her to do that?

Su Yan used his own money to participate in this charity. How could he, the King of Qin, put his face aside?

Moreover, he heard that several other princes and princesses had contributed money and effort. If he did not participate in this matter, wouldn't he fall behind?

Just as he said just now, if such a good deed gets to the ears of the emperor, he will surely look upon him with high regard. How could he miss such a great opportunity?

"Shuangyun, wait a minute, Princess. How can we let you pay for this money? Our Qin Palace will naturally contribute to such a good cause. This money comes from the public treasury, so Princess, you don't need to spend any money. Shuangyun, go to the account and withdraw it, and tell them that it was my intention."

After hearing what Xiao Jingfeng said, Shuangyun felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know who to listen to and didn't dare to move.

Su Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "What does your Highness mean by this? Didn't you look down on this charity just now? Why do you suddenly want to pay for it? It seems that your Highness also wants to be praised by his father, so he doesn't want to miss this opportunity."

Xiao Jingfeng coughed lightly when he heard this, feeling a little embarrassed.

"This is a good deed after all, how can we leave out the Qin Palace? Besides, how can we trouble the princess to pay for something like this? Naturally, the money should come from the palace."

Su Yan knew what Xiao Jingfeng was thinking, but she was too lazy to expose her.

She wanted to help Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao, and since Xiao Jingfeng was willing to pay the money, she was of course happy to see it happen.

Not only that, she also wanted Xiao Jingfeng to contribute more, as a punishment for his rude remarks just now.

Thinking of this, Su Yan rarely smiled, "I am naturally happy that Your Majesty has this intention. However, my ability is limited, so I can only do a little. Now that Your Majesty is willing, shouldn't I give more money? This way, Your Majesty can show his kindness. Do you think what I said is right?"

Although Su Yan's smile clearly had some ill intentions, her smile was so dazzling that Xiao Jingfeng was still stunned.

Su Yan's smile always made Xiao Jingfeng irresistible, and naturally he couldn't refute what she said.

Xiao Jingfeng could only nod and said with a smile: "What the princess said is very true. This king will certainly do more for such a good cause. Shuangyun, take out one thousand taels of silver from the account and send it to my fifth brother to represent the thoughts of this king and the princess."

Shuangyun was delighted when he heard this and hurriedly looked at Su Yan.

Xiao Jingfeng's reply made Su Yan very satisfied. Seeing Shuangyun looking at her, Su Yan smiled and said, "I would like to thank the prince for his kindness on behalf of the people. Shuangyun, didn't you hear what the prince said? Why don't you go quickly?"

Shuangyun heard this and quickly responded, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Although this one thousand taels of silver was nothing to Xiao Jingfeng, he felt uncomfortable when he thought that he was helping Xiao Jingxuan.

However, spending one thousand taels of silver to get Su Yan's smile is worth it.
