Chapter 218: A Life, For You (16)
Shut up, you! ”
Zhao Ruzhen's chest hurt angrily, how could she give birth to such a stupid daughter in vain if she was smart all her life.
"Go outside and keep watch."
waved away the maids beside her, Zhao Ruzhen only left her personal mother-in-law, and then said helplessly.
"Liushuang, the second prince is a royal family, and he pays more attention to reputation, even if you and the second prince promise each other for life, as long as you haven't married, it doesn't count, no matter what happens at home, you have to manage your reputation well outside, understand?"
"Mother......
Xiang Liushuang was a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to refute Zhao Ruzhen's words, so he could only nod helplessly.
"Do you know who that woman is?"
Zhao Ruzhen saw Xiang Liushuang nodded, and then mentioned the incident just now.
Xiangliushuang thought about it carefully, and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"I have seen most of the nobles in the capital, even if this woman is veiled, I am sure I have never seen her, mother, do you know her?"
"If what I expected is right, she should be the new Dao Aunt who came recently, I heard that your father said that she is quite trusted by the emperor, and she has rewarded a lot of things a few days ago, even the three-entry courtyard in Xicheng has been rewarded."
"Isn't it Aunt Dao, mother, you are Mrs. Shangshu, she dares to ......"
"Shut up!"
Zhao Ruzhen held her forehead, and was almost stupidly cried by her daughter.
Who doesn't know that today's saint has taken a fancy to these Taoist priests, but the second prince has revealed the news, this Taoist aunt is not simple.
"Now is on the cusp, you don't care who she is, just don't mess with her, wait until the future, you ......, you can toss as much as you want, don't be in a hurry to take revenge, wait until your identity is unmatched afterwards, what tricks can she come up with, not now."
While the two were talking, a maid outside the house pushed the door in and whispered a few words in her mother-in-law's ear.
The mother-in-law hurriedly walked up to Zhao Ruzhen.
"Madam, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is here."
"Why is she here?"
Zhao Ruzhen's face instantly became ugly.
Seeing this, Xiangliushuang couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Humph! Daddy is really, obviously Niang is now his rightful wife, and he doesn't know how to ask his mother for a fate, so that his mother has to avoid every time she meets that lady. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to your dad when I get back, let's go back."
Zhao Ruzhen's face became more and more unsightly.
She didn't deal with Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had been named Mrs. Yipin, but she had the name of Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and she was just a flat wife, and she had to be stabbed by her every time they met.
It's just that her status is not as high as that of others, and she has to salute others every time.
The more time passes, the deeper this thorn pierces the heart.
"It's all to blame on the two sluts in the house, my father didn't like them for a long time, and they still occupied the position of Mrs. Shangshu of the household department and didn't leave, go back and talk to your father."
Xiangliushuang was still chattering, but he was gloating in his heart.
Those two sluts are definitely going to be unlucky again today, she is not happy, they don't want to be happy, occupy the position of the concubine, why!
——
When Qiao Shi returned to the mansion, the steward had already bought all the things he had purchased.
After a few days of construction, the alchemy room has basically been completed, and it will be ready for use in two days.
A few days passed, and Qiao Shi went directly into the palace with two bottles of pills in his hands.
More than 5,000 truckloads of silver bought medicinal materials, half of which were used in alchemy.
However, because I was not skilled at the beginning, I wasted a lot, and only succeeded in these two bottles, a total of twenty bottles.
The pill doesn't have much effect, but it has some warming effect, and you can see some effects in these two bottles.
When she is proficient in alchemy, she can try to refine some other pills with her vitality.
Qiao Shi waited in the palace for a while and was announced by the emperor into the imperial study, only the household department Shangshu Xiangsheng and the military department were in the imperial study, and the two seemed to have just finished reporting the matter and were about to leave.
When Xiang Sheng saw Qiao Shi coming, his angry nose was almost crooked.
Qiao Shi didn't even look at him, he directly bent down slightly and straightened up, and then offered the two bottles of pills.
"Your Majesty, this is a warm pill, because the follow-up medicinal materials have not been purchased yet, so I can only refine some warm pills first."
"Bring it in."
The smile in the emperor's eyes couldn't be stopped at all, and he couldn't have known better whether his body was really good or empty.
In the past few days, even the harem has been going more and more frequently, and there is no feeling of weakness in the legs.
The chief eunuch took the pill and poured out a pill, the pill was round and snow-white, exuding a fragrance of medicinal herbs.
When you smell it, you can feel a refreshing smell, which is very different from ordinary red pills.
"Not bad."
The emperor handed the pill to the chief eunuch, and whether he wanted to test the medicine next had nothing to do with Qiao Shi.
She came today to take care of other things besides delivering medicine.
The emperor did not rush to deal with other matters, but asked the chief eunuch to announce a holy decree.
Qiao Shi listened to a long inconsequential reading, of which there was only one useful sentence, naming her Mrs. Yipinhui.
Joe: "......"
However, this Mrs. Hui is just a title, and the entire Ning Dynasty seems to have never seen an unmarried woman receive a reward from Mrs. Hui.
It seems that the emperor is really satisfied with the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
But she has to kneel down to receive the order, and now she is also a courtier.
Qiao Shi became a first-class titled lady, and the household department secretary and the military department secretary on the side were a little dumbfounded.
Originally, Xiangsheng was in Zhao Ruzhen's ears, and he was still thinking about suing Qiao on the emperor's side.
When he returned to the mansion yesterday, he found that two of the bones of the frost were broken.
But how to sue now, this woman is so favored by the emperor, and she was the first person to be offended by Flowing Frost from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng's original thoughts had to be swallowed.
Now the complaint will only be plain, which will disgust the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to report."
"What?"
When dealing with Qiao, the emperor seemed to be impatient, and his mood was much better.
Qiao Shi took out a bill.
"Back to the emperor, can Weichen withdraw medicinal materials from Tai Hospital in the future, a few days ago, Wei Chen spent more than 5,000 taels of silver after buying some medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials he bought did not seem to be as good as Tai Hospital."
The medicinal materials in the Tai Hospital are all tributes, and the medicinal materials in them are not good, so they will not be accepted.
The key is......
It's free!
She is alchemy for the emperor, not for herself.
As soon as Qiao Shi's words came out, the corners of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and he regretted giving the title a little.
Even the chief eunuch on the side couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Is this the first person to ask the emperor for silver so openly?
After taking the silver, Qiao Shi Shiran left the palace.
Yes, she came to ask for silver today, although she has a lot of silver in her hand, but the pill is for the emperor to eat, and she can't spend the silver herself.
