Quickly Pass Through My Shop

"Shut up, you!"

Zhao Ruzhen was so angry that her chest ached. How could she have given birth to such a stupid daughter after being so smart all her life.

"You go and guard outside."

After shooing away the maids around her, Zhao Ruzhen left only the mother-in-law who was close to her, and then she spoke helplessly.

"Liu Shuang, the second prince belongs to the royal family and pays more attention to reputation. Even if you and the second prince have promised each other for life, it will not count as long as you are not married. No matter what happens at home, you must manage your reputation well outside. Understand. ?"

"mother……"

Xiang Liushuang was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to refute Zhao Ruzhen's words, so she could only nod helplessly.

"Do you know who that woman was just now?"

Seeing Xiang Liushuang nodding, Zhao Ruzhen mentioned the matter again.

Xiang Liushuang thought about it carefully, with waves of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"I have met 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 my prediction is correct, she should be the new Taoist nun who has recently arrived. I heard your father said that she is quite trusted by the emperor. She has rewarded her with many things in the past few days, including the three-entry courtyard in the west city."

"Isn't she just a Taoist nun? Mom, you are the wife of the minister. How dare she..."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Ruzhen held her forehead and almost cried because of her daughter.

Who doesn't know that the current emperor is interested in these Taoist priests? The second prince has revealed the news that this Taoist nun is not simple.

"Now is the cusp of the storm. You don't care who she is, just don't mess with her. In the future, you... you can do whatever you want. If you want to take revenge, don't be in a hurry. Afterwards, your identity will be unmatched by her." What other tricks can I come up with, but not now."

While the two were talking, a maid from outside the house opened the door and came in, whispering a few words in the mother-in-law's ear.

The mother-in-law quickly walked to Zhao Ruzhen.

"Madam, Madam Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette is here."

"Why is she here?"

Zhao Ruzhen's face instantly turned ugly.

Seeing this, Xiang Liushuang couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Hmph! It's true for my father. Even though my mother is now his legitimate wife, I don't know how to ask for a royal decree for my mother, which makes my mother avoid that lady every time I meet her."

"Okay, I'll talk to your dad later, let's go back."

Zhao Ruzhen's face became increasingly ugly.

She had nothing to do with the wife of the Minister of Rites, but the wife of the Minister of Rites had been named the first-grade wife, but she had no title of Madam of the Minister of Hubu, and she was just an ordinary wife. Every time they met, she would have to stab her.

But her status is not as high as others, so she has to bow to others every time.

The longer time goes by, the deeper this thorn pierces my heart.

"It's all the fault of those two bitches in the mansion. Daddy has disliked them a long time ago. They still occupy the position of the wife of the Minister of Household Affairs. Come back, mother, please have a nice talk with daddy."

Xiang Liushuang was still chattering, but he was gloating in his heart.

Those two bitches will definitely be in trouble again today. It's hard for her, and they won't have a good time either. Why should they occupy the position of their legitimate daughter?

——

When Qiao Shi returned to the mansion, the manager had already bought all the things he had purchased.

After several days of construction, the alchemy room is basically completed and will be ready for use in two days.

A few days passed in a flash, and Qiao Shi entered the palace directly with two bottles of elixirs in his hands.

More than five thousand cartloads of medicinal materials were purchased, half of which was used in elixir making.

However, because I was not proficient at the beginning, I failed a lot. I only succeeded in these two bottles, a total of twenty pills.

The elixir doesn't have much effect, but it has some warming and tonic effect. After these two bottles, some effects can be seen.

Once she becomes proficient in elixir refining techniques, she can try to use her vitality to refine some other elixirs.

After Qiao Shi waited in the palace for a while, he was ushered into the imperial study by the emperor. In the imperial study, only Xiang Sheng, the minister of household affairs, and the minister of military affairs were present. They seemed to have just reported the matter and were about to leave.

When Xiang Sheng saw Qiao Shi coming, his nose almost became crooked with anger.

Qiao Shi didn't even look at him out of the corner of his eye, he straightened up after bending slightly, and then presented two bottles of elixirs.

"Your Majesty, this is a warm and tonic elixir. Since the follow-up medicinal materials have not yet been purchased, we can only refine some warm and tonic elixirs first."

"Send it up."

The smile in the emperor's eyes couldn't be blocked at all. He knew very well whether his health was really recovering or whether it was a deficit.

In the past few days, I even went to the harem more frequently, and I didn't feel any weakness in my legs.

The eunuch in charge took the elixir and poured out one. The elixir was round and white, exuding a delicate fragrance of medicinal herbs.

You can feel a refreshing taste when you smell it, which is very different from ordinary red pills.

"good."

The emperor handed the elixir to the eunuch in charge. Whether he wanted to test the medicine next had nothing to do with Qiao Shi.

She came today and had other things to take care of besides delivering medicine.

The emperor was not in a hurry to deal with other matters. Instead, he asked the eunuch in charge to declare an imperial edict.

Qiao Shi listened to a long paragraph of irrelevant reading, in which there was only one useful sentence, naming her Mrs. Yipinhui.

Qiao Shi: "..."

However, this Mrs. Hui is just a title. It seems that no unmarried woman in the entire Ning Dynasty has been awarded the title of Madam.

It seems that the emperor is indeed satisfied with the effect of the rejuvenation pill.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor."

You have to kneel down to receive orders, and now she can be considered a minister.

Qiao Shi became a first-class titled lady, and the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of War were a little dumbfounded.

Originally, Xiang Sheng was still thinking about suing Qiao Shi to the emperor despite being ignored by Zhao Ruzhen.

When he returned to the mansion yesterday, he discovered that two of Liu Shuang's bones were broken.

But how to file a complaint now? This woman is so favored by the emperor, and besides, she was the one who offended Liu Shuang in the first place.

Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng had to swallow his original thoughts.

Complaining now will only make the emperor disgusted.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

The emperor seemed to be very patient when dealing with Qiao, and he felt much better.

Qiao Shi took out a bill.

"Reporting to the emperor, can Weichen withdraw medicinal materials from Taiyuan Hospital in the future? Weichen spent more than 5,000 taels of silver after buying some medicinal materials a few days ago, and the medicines he bought do not seem to be as good as those from Taiyuan Hospital."

The medicinal materials in the Tai Hospital are all tributes. If the medicinal materials are not of good quality, they will not be collected.

The key is……

It’s free!

She was making elixirs for the emperor, not for herself.

As soon as Qiao Shi said this, the corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and he regretted that he had banned the title.

Even the eunuch in charge could not bear to look at him.

Is this the first person to ask the emperor for money so openly?

After taking the money, Qiao Shi left the palace calmly.

Yes, she came here today to ask for money. Although she had a lot of money, the pills were for the emperor, so she could no longer spend the money herself.
