Of course, the only reward for this benefactor is reputation.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, the Qing Dynasty was at its end. Under such circumstances, Cixi had to take Emperor Guangxu with him to escape together to save his life. On the way to escape, Cixi and Emperor Guangxu lost their former glory. It can be said that they lived in the open air and had a very hard life. However, during this period, where Cixi and Emperor Guangxu passed by, they were also visited by officials and wealthy gentry from all over the country. Especially when passing through Shaanxi, the richest woman in Shaanxi at that time even donated 100,000 silver to Cixi without hesitation. So how did Cixi repay her in the end?

The first thing is to make Zhou Ying a righteous daughter. As the richest man in Shaanxi, Zhou Ying is very keen on politics, and she also knows very well that if she helps Cixi when she is in such a desperate situation, she will get Cixi. As the actual person in power of the Qing Dynasty, it would only be beneficial and harmless to please Cixi. Therefore, Zhou Ying donated 100,000 silver to Cixi. Cixi was very happy to receive such support. Not only was she named a righteous daughter, but she was also awarded a gold plaque with the title of "Mrs. Protector of the Country".

The second is to seal Zhou Ying as "Mrs. Yipingaoming". In order to maintain peace, the Qing Dynasty at that time bowed its head in front of the great powers and signed the "Xinchou Treaty". One of the contents of this treaty was that it needed to pay hundreds of millions of silver in compensation. The Qing Dynasty, which had an empty treasury at the time, had no such ability. can afford this huge compensation. Zhou Ying was well aware of the difficulties faced by the Qing Dynasty and donated most of her family property. Such a righteous act was deeply moved by Cixi. To express her gratitude, Cixi named Zhou Ying "Mrs. Yipingaoming".
