The Favoured Medical Princess: 627Sincerity

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Compared with the splendid Huayuetang, Ruosuzhai looks much more elegant. There are two plates of clivia at the door. The clerks are wearing the same Tsing Yi with silver patterns embroidered on the cuffs.

At the entrance of Ruosuzhai, gorgeous carriages would stop outside the stone steps from time to time, and the waiters would welcome the distinguished guests in one after another.

When Chen Yi and Lorna walked to the entrance of the shop, a waiter immediately came up to them. He looked at the two of them without any trace, his eyes paused on Chen Yi’s blue eyes, and then he stretched out his hand to make a sign of invitation: " Madam, please." His attitude was just polite, not warm.

Dogs look down upon people! Bai Yi was disdainful, knowing that the boy saw that he did not come by carriage and was dressed casually, so he didn't take him to heart.

The shop owner didn't bother to argue with such snobbish people, and said calmly: "What's so good about your shop..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a sharp female voice: "Shopkeeper, I am an old customer of Ruosuzhai. You can't sell me the new 'Ban Yue Jiao' first. Box?...You don’t want to sell it to Mrs. Xu, do you?”

Looking around, I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a purple and gold brocade gown standing in front of the counter. She had slender eyebrows and triangular eyes, and she looked a bit cunning.

The middle-aged woman looked at a small shell-shaped porcelain jar on the counter with burning eyes. The porcelain jar was extremely exquisite, with gold-plated edges, and graceful and delicate plum blossoms on the lid and body. Just this The little porcelain jar is so addictive.

"Mrs. He, how could this happen!"

Behind the counter is a woman wearing a dark red gown with auspicious Ruyi patterns. She is about forty years old, has a round face, and is kind-hearted but with a hint of shrewdness. She is obviously the shopkeeper of Ruosuzhai.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This 'Ban Yue Jiao' really cannot be sold. Mrs. He, you are a regular customer. I will tell you that the process of making this jar of lip balm is extremely complicated and requires a person." Yue only needs such a small jar. The Princess made the decision last month."

"The Crown Princess?!" Mrs. He blurted out in surprise, "Shopkeeper, this Ban Yue Jiao was actually ordered by the Crown Princess?"

The shopkeeper proudly puffed up his chest and said ostentatiously: "That's right. The Crown Princess is a frequent customer here! If Su Zhai is innovative, it won't be like some time-honored brands that remain stagnant."

"Since it was ordered by the Crown Princess, that's all we can do." Mrs. He was extremely regretful, and then said, "Shopkeeper, when your master makes the new 'Ban Yue Jiao', you must Inform me first! Money is never an issue."

The shopkeeper echoed with a smile and ordered the waiter to send Mrs. He away.

After Mrs. He left, the shopkeeper was just about to put away the small porcelain jar when his eyes dimmed and there was a young woman with blue eyes in front of him.

"This madam..." The shopkeeper showed a warm smile habitually.

Zhang Yi didn't want to be polite to her, so he said directly: "Shopkeeper, I also want to see this lipstick."

The shopkeeper's smile faded, she looked up and down the clothes on display, and said lukewarmly: "Madam, the 'Ban Yue Jiao' in our store is not for sale." There was a hint of impatience in her tone, as if He said, he is really ignorant. He clearly heard that the imperial concubine ordered this mouthful of fat, but he still insists on getting involved!

Is it possible that I can’t even see it myself? Then I really succeeded earlier than Nangong Yue! Zhang Yi looked coldly and said: "Shopkeeper, you are in business... Does it really take a month to make this small jar of 'Ban Yue Jiao'?"

"..." The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth was a little stiff, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yi saw this and said calmly: "Shopkeeper, you just want to live in a rare place. Harmony brings wealth, so why bother with money?! I'll give you five hundred taels, what do you think?"

"This..." The shopkeeper held the small porcelain jar in his hand, still hesitating.

Zhang Yi curled his lips disdainfully, and when the shopkeeper wasn't paying attention, he suddenly grabbed the small porcelain jar from the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I sold this jar of 'Ban Yue Jiao', you can spend more Just take some time to make a jar for the Crown Princess."

As she spoke, she winked at Lorna behind her, who immediately took out a banknote from her sleeve and put it on the counter.

The shopkeeper stared at the five hundred taels of banknotes, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't hide the greed in it. Originally, she wanted to grab the small porcelain jar in the waiter's hand, but at this moment, her hand paused in mid-air. Live...

A flash of pride flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he said nonchalantly: "Shopkeeper, I also want to buy some rouge and hair oil. Do you have any recommendations?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's shrewd eyes brightened even more, and she kept saying: "Yes, yes, yes!" She opened the counter and took out a mahogany tray with several small and exquisite porcelain jars on it. , introduced it eloquently...

Half an hour later, the clothes were loaded with clothes and Lorna left, with her head held high and the previous haze in her heart swept away.

The shopkeeper enthusiastically delivered the clothes to the door. It was not until the clothes disappeared around the corner of the street that the shopkeeper turned back to the shop, still with a polite smile on his lips.

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to look at the store at the front, while he picked up the curtain and went to the VIP room at the back.

The maid in Tsing Yi who was guarding the door did not enter the house to report, but directly led the shopkeeper into the house. The faint fragrance of tea lingered in the house, making it peaceful and far-reaching.

The shopkeeper stepped forward with a low eyebrow, his respectful and restrained look was completely different from when he was outside before.

"The Crown Princess," she curtsied to the woman sitting on the Grand Master's chair at the top, "the Saint of Baiyue has left."

Nangong Yue responded, slowly putting down the teacup in her hand, a slight smile on her lips, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, shopkeeper Cheng."

This Ruosuzhai was actually one of the properties left by the old prince to Xiao Yi. Fortunately, it did not fall into the hands of Xiao Fang, but was run by the old prince's cronies for more than ten years. After Nangong Yue arrived at Luoyue City, she took it back and hired a master from Jiangnan to make rouge gouache.

In the past year, Ruosuzhai has become famous in Luoyue City and has become one of the best shops. However, the people in Luoyue City only knew that this was an old store, and no one knew that it was actually Bixiaotang's property.

And if the shopkeeper of Suzhai can keep this shop under Xiao Fang's eyes for more than ten years, it will naturally be credible.

Now that the lip balm has been successfully "sold" to Zhui Yi, whether this Wuhe ointment is good or not, let Zhui Yi himself prove it...

Nangong Yue talked gently to the shopkeeper for a while, then picked some rouge and gouache from Ruosuzhai, and then went home.

Back at Bixiaotang, Nangong Yue ordered Ying'er to bring the rouge and gouache to the girls in the mansion.

Ying'er knelt down and responded. She went to Yuebiju first, and then to Xiao Ni's yard in the second room.

Xiao Ni's eldest maid Sangrou came out after hearing the news and said, "Sister Ying'er, the girl is copying Buddhist scriptures." She said with some embarrassment, "My wife asked the girl not to see guests until she finished copying. Sister Yinger, just leave the things to me. Please thank the Crown Princess on behalf of my girl."

Copy Buddhist scriptures?

Ying'er was slightly startled, but she also heard that the second lady believed in Buddhism and often took her daughter to eat vegetarian food and copy Buddhist scriptures.

So, she handed the rouge and gouache to Sang Rou, and then left.

After Ying'er left, the smile on Sangrou's face suddenly disappeared. She hurried back to the inner room, lifted the bead curtain, and saw Xiao Ni leaning on the beauty's couch with a gloomy face. Staring blankly out the window.

"Girl, the Crown Princess ordered Sister Ying'er to send you some rouge and gouache. She said it was newly made by Ruosuzhai for the season."

Seeing that Xiao Fei didn't respond, Sang Rou gently put the rouge and gouache on the dressing table. Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Ni's breathing suddenly became rapid, again and again, heavy and urgent, and her chest heaved up and down. After a while, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and her body gradually curled up.

"Girl!"

Sang Rou shouted anxiously and said hurriedly, "I'll go get you some medicine."

"Don't..." Xiao Ni raised her hand, her lips pressed into a tight line.

She doesn't want it!

Since returning on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Ni has thought a lot about how she met Miss Gu in Huanxi Pavilion, how she reunited with Miss Gu when returning the white jade plum blossom pendant, and how stupid and ignorant she was. I took the medicine given by Miss Gu...

In fact, the frequency of her asthma attacks has increased significantly these days. Originally, she rarely had an attack every few months, but now, she has frequent attacks every few days, and the intervals are getting shorter and shorter. .

Any method is useless, only the medicine given by Miss Gu can relieve the pain.

Just like this moment...

"Girl..." Sang Rou's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't dare to shout.

Xiao Ni tried her best to endure it, but as her breathing became more and more rapid, her body seemed to be gnawed by thousands of ants. Her consciousness gradually blurred, just like that day.

She could no longer control herself, so she stretched out her hand desperately and moaned in pain: "Medicine, give me medicine..."

Sang Rou was stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up the small porcelain bottle from the dressing table, scooped out a small spoonful of black plaster, and fed it into Xiao Ni's mouth.

As soon as the medicine was taken into the mouth, Xiao Ni's condition quickly improved. First her breathing gradually became calmer, and then her face became rosy. After a while, she slowly sat up, completely back to normal, as if the death-like pain just now was all fake, but Xiao Ni knew that everything was real...

"Girl, girl." Sang Rou held the small porcelain bottle and was about to cry, "There is not much medicine in it."

Xiao Ni slowly looked back at her and heard Sang Rou say: "The medicine is only enough for two or three times. Girl, girl... what should we do?"

What to do?

Xiao Ni didn’t know what to do either.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Miss Gu finally gave her the medicine and asked her to think about it when she came back. She also warned her that if she told others about it, she would never get the medicine from her again. .

The pain during the attack made Xiao Ni worse than death. She did not dare to try easily, and she did not want to cut off her escape route.

Originally, she thought that if she could get through it, she would tell her sister-in-law about it, but she couldn't get over it... In the past few days, she had two more attacks, but she couldn't get through them either time. Time for burning incense.

You can still take the medicine three times, do you really need to ask Miss Gu...

But how could Miss Gu give the medicine to her so easily? Of course it's impossible!

What should she do...

"Sangrou." Xiao Ni said with difficulty, "Next time, you tie me up..."

Sang Rou was shocked and said hurriedly: "How is this possible!"

There was a hint of reluctance in Xiao Ni's gray eyes. She was unwilling to give in. She wanted to give herself one last chance...

"Sangrou." Xiao Ni held her hand tightly, as if she was holding on to the last life-saving straw, "Now, you are the only one who can help me!"

Sang Rou's heart felt cold: How could her girl have such a miserable life!

But what choice do they have?

Unconsciously, there were layers of gloomy dark clouds in the sky outside, and the thunder from the distance made the master and servant feel even more depressed...

Time passed by in a blink of an eye. On the 23rd of the first lunar month, Nangong Yue accepted the greeting card handed over by Chen Yi.

So, in the afternoon of that day, Zhang Yi came to Bixiaotang again.

Facing Nangong Yue's calm smile, Bai Yi felt aggrieved and bowed gracefully.

Nangong Yue’s eyes paused for a moment on her delicate red lips, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she said with a smile: "The concubine wearing the clothes is exempt from the gift."

Ban Yuejiao was made by herself. The color was very special, especially when applied to the lips, it would sparkle under the sun. She did not believe that beauty-loving clothes could resist this temptation.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Bai Yi sat down under her and said straight to the point, "Crown Princess, Cheng Yi is here today to reply to the conditions put forward by the Crown Princess on behalf of my king."

Nangong Yue tilted her head slightly, with a calm and composed attitude, as if she was discussing an ordinary business.

Pei Yi endured the displeasure in her heart and said, "My king agrees to donate three cities north of the Lominga River and seven cities west of Annan Mountain to Prince Xiao." At this point, she paused. Her back straightened even more, and she said with awe, "I wonder if the Crown Princess can express your sincerity on behalf of Prince Xiao."

Nangong Yue asked with a smile: "How to express it?"

Zhang Yi put forward the conditions without hesitation, "Please Prince Xiao immediately send someone to Ruijiang City to rescue the Sixth Prince of Baiyue."

Nangong Yue picked up the tea cup, slowly foamed the tea, and said: "This matter is very easy to handle. But...when will the concubine in the clothes bring the city of my heir apparent?"

Zhang Yi's face froze slightly and said, "What does the Crown Princess mean?"

"My concubine just wants to give a little reminder to the concubine." Nangong Yue looked stern. After taking a sip of tea, she put down the tea cup and said, "Now it is your lord who has something to ask for from my southern border. Although your lord I am willing to give ten cities in exchange, but in the final analysis, these ten cities are like a mirror, and they have to be defeated with the blood of my men in Southern Xinjiang, and what your lord has paid is actually just a word. In other words, I, Southern Xinjiang, have eaten it What a loss. I think it is better for the concubine to express some sincerity on behalf of your lord and send the city. The prince will naturally reciprocate the favor and express my sincerity in southern Xinjiang."

Zhang Yi was speechless immediately. Xiao Yi was originally ordered to restore His Majesty Kuilang, and he had already won half of Baiyue for nothing. However, Nangong Yue said it as if he had suffered great grievances.

She took a deep breath, lowered her posture and said, "The Crown Princess has misunderstood. Alas, His Highness the Sixth Prince is the younger brother of His Highness Kui Lang. Now he is under house arrest by the puppet king. His Highness Kui Lang just wants to invite Prince Xiao again. Do me a favor... If this matter comes to pass, His Highness Kuilang is willing to send another gold mine as a token of thanks."

Nangong Yue sipped tea leisurely, smiling and saying nothing.

Zhang Yi gritted her back teeth hard and continued: "One gold mine, two silver mines..." She paid attention to Nangong Yue's expression, and seeing that Nangong Yue was still unmoved, she gritted her teeth and said The bottom line is reached, "plus the two cities northwest of Annan Mountain."

Nangong Yue smiled and Ruzi said in a teachable way: "This is not what I am here for. Since I have cooperated with your lord, this little thing is not a problem."

Zhang Yi forced a smile, his heart aching as if he was about to bleed.

Zhang Yi came here with full confidence this time. During her stay in Luoyue City, she simply spent her time under Nangong Yue's pressure. She thought that she would finally be able to suppress Nangong after giving up half of Baiyue's country this time. Yue took advantage of the situation and asked Nangong Yue to agree to send troops to rescue the Sixth Highness on behalf of Xiao Yi, in order to show her ability. Unexpectedly, in the end, Nangong Yue was forced step by step to the bottom line set by His Highness the Sixth Prince.

But even so, she could only say: "Thank you, Crown Princess."

Zhang Yi felt a secret hatred in his heart and told himself to calm down. As long as that thing was done, everything he had to do now would be nothing! When the time comes, Xiao Yi will repay it tenfold!

Thinking of this, he stood up and took out a brocade bag from his arms, held it up with both hands, and said: "This is a document stamped with my king's private seal. I hope the imperial concubine will keep it. I sincerely ask Xiao Shizi to restore my king." , then Baidu Southern Xinjiang will always be an ally."

Nangong Yue reached out and took it, "It's easy to say."

Seeing that she finally accepted it, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, this trip to southern Xinjiang was not in vain!

Chui Yi sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. After calming down, he said tentatively: "Prince Concubine, Chen Yi came here to bid farewell to the Concubine. ... In a few days On that day, I will go back to the capital with Wuhe anointing."

Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said: "It will not be convenient for me to see you off at that time, but I hope that my concubine will go well."

Zhang Yi paid attention to her expression. Even when he mentioned "Wuhe Cream", she didn't feel any weird at all. She didn't even threaten him to keep some. Could it be that the last time Han Huaijun wanted to ask Lin Jingchen to test the medicine, it was actually him? Your own idea?

However, it can at least be proved that the batch of Wuhe ointment was not robbed by Nangong Yue, otherwise Han Huaijun would not have had to act so recklessly... Maybe the false king Nuhar deliberately wanted to ruin His Highness Kuilang's important event.

I sat there for a while while laying out my clothes, then stood up and left.

After she left, Nangong Yue opened the bag of tips.

In the kit is a piece of silk paper with beautiful handwriting, obviously written by a woman, followed by Kui Lang's private stamp and handprint. It seems that Kui Lang gave Cheng Yi a piece of blank silk paper with his seal and fingerprint on it so that Cheng Yi could do things more easily.

Nangong Yue stuffed the silk paper into the brocade bag and gave it to Baihui for safekeeping.

Nangong Yue originally suspected that it would be impossible for Bai Yi to get a reply from Kui Lang in this short period of time. Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The one who made the deal was not Kui Lang, but Bai Bai. The sixth prince of Yue.

This is really interesting!

A few days later, the last batch of Wuhe paste, a full fifty kilograms, arrived in Luoyue City. Early the next morning, Han Huaijun came to say goodbye to King Zhennan, and then went to Linzhai.

Han Qixia personally cooked and set up a table for him, together with Fu Yunhe and Nangong Yue.

This time I say goodbye, I don’t know when we will see each other again...

On the 30th of the first lunar month, Han Huaijun and his party left Luoyue City with Wuhe anointing.

At the same time, a gray homing pigeon flew into Bixiaotang.

Quie'er ran in with a smile on her face, holding the dove, and said, "The Crown Princess, this is a letter from the Crown Prince."

"A Yi's letter?"

Nangong Yue put down the half-embroidered belt on her hand, stood up, and said happily: "Give it to me quickly."

"Fortunately, Xiao Hui is not here today." Que'er said jokingly, "Otherwise, our Bixiao Hall would be busy again."

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled. Xiao Hui has been running between Luo Yue City and Dengli City these days, having so much fun that he doesn't miss Shu. No, I just came back a few days ago, and I sneaked out to play again. If I didn't come back at night, I would have flown to Dengli City again. I just hope that when Xiao Yi comes back, it will be a little better...

Nangong Yue took out the tissue paper from the bamboo tube with a smile. She had just read the first line. The smile on her face suddenly became brighter and she said happily: "Ayi is coming back!"

After Fu Yunhe and the others returned to Luoyue City, Tian He went to Dengli City on the grounds that he needed to help Xiao Yi rectify the military affairs of the four cities. In fact, as soon as he arrived at Dengli City, he took Xiao Yi's secret order and led The soldiers went to Wuli City in Nanliang.

The stragglers in Nanliang have long been wiped out by Xiao Yi. The original Nanliang royal family has been executed, and the entire Nanliang has fallen under Xiao Yi's control.

With veteran Tian He taking over the rectification of Nanliang's government and military affairs, Xiao Yi could finally return to Dengli City with peace of mind.

Xiao Yi told Nangong Yue in the letter that in half a month at the latest, he and Guan Yubai would lead their troops back in triumph.

The war that lasted for more than half a year ended with the complete subjugation of Nanliang!

"It's the thirtieth of the first lunar month, which means Ayi will come back before the fifteenth of February." Nangong Yue smiled happily, with a happy smile on her face.

The maids on the side were very happy when they heard this. They all saw the hard work that the Crown Princess had put in these days in order to make the Crown Prince worry-free.

Finally, the prince is coming back!
