Shopkeeper Li took the medicine boy into the VIP room and asked someone to hand several brocade boxes to the prince.
"Your Highness, these are the ghost blood vine, century-old red Ganoderma lucidum, and Miaojiang dendrobium you want."
The attendants around the prince went up to check and confirmed that it was correct.
The prince smiled and said, "Give the shopkeeper the banknote."
Shopkeeper Li immediately said: "His Royal Highness, you are welcome, these are just gifts from the shop."
The prince shook his head: "Absolutely not. If I come today and don't give you money, then when other royal relatives and nobles come, the shopkeeper will offend them by charging them. How can we continue to do business if we don't charge money?"
Shopkeeper Li seemed stunned. Seeing the prince's insistence, he smiled and let the medicine boy take the banknote: "The prince is indeed the best able to understand the difficulties of people's livelihood. He deserves to be the crown prince of the country."
This flattering prince is in a good mood.
As a prince, of course he hopes to have a "good reputation" and be praised as "worthy of a big responsibility", even if it is flattering?
The prince patted Shopkeeper Li's shoulder meaningfully: "If your boss can have the same vision as you, this Baicaotang can exist for a long time."
It's a pity that Ming Lanruo is not very knowledgeable.
When he ascends the throne, this Baicao Hall will no longer belong to her.
Shopkeeper Li lowered his eyes, covering up the contemptuous light in his eyes, and just smiled without saying a word, making people think that he was very respectful.
The prince asked the attendant behind him to hand the brocade boxes to Xu Xiuyi.
"Miss Xu, I heard that these things are useful for Mrs. Xu's condition. I have already asked the shopkeeper of Baicaotang to order them. These things will be given to Mrs. Xu to treat her illness. The shopkeeper said that Dendrobium and Ghost Blood Vine are more difficult to treat than Red Ganoderma.
purchase."
Xu Xiuyi didn't even look at those things, she just said expressionlessly, coldly and solemnly——
"My father has taught us since we were little that we will not be rewarded without merit. I will arrange these things with Shopkeeper Li. My daughter and the Xu family will not dare to receive such a big favor!"
After saying that, she knelt down and made a very standard salute: "Please take back the crown prince's life, and don't let the Xu family get the reputation of being a flatterer."
Seeing Xu Xiuyi's serious expression, the smile on Shangguan Zhou's face froze for a second, and he stopped the attendant with an ugly expression behind him.
It only took a moment for him to regain his gentle and elegant appearance, even with an apology in his eyes: "It's not appropriate to be alone. It's just that Mr. Xu asked for leave for two days in a row for his wife. He was worried about being the pillar of the country, so he asked someone to prepare these gifts."
After saying that, he asked the attendant to take back the gift and stepped forward to lift Xu Xiuyi up.
Xu Xiuyi quickly took a step back, refusing to let him touch her. She straightened up and said politely: "The etiquette cannot be abolished."
Shangguan Zhou saw that she was not interested, so he just smiled and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
With that said, he left the VIP room with his attendants. The medicine boy next to Shopkeeper Li immediately followed him and respectfully saw him off.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Xu Xiuyi and said apologetically: "Miss Xu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect..."
"It has nothing to do with you. I came to Baicaotang temporarily, but the prince actually knew how to block me here. It seems that there is a spy in the family." Xu Xiuyi smiled faintly.
Moreover, when his mother was ill, his father asked the imperial doctor to see her. The prince most likely found out about his mother's illness from the imperial doctor early on and went to look for these things.
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
Shopkeeper Li said to Xu Xiuyi seriously: "Don't worry, I will prepare all the things you want as soon as possible."
He didn't know that Xu Xiuyi needed these things, otherwise he wouldn't have given them to the prince.
This is the distinguished guest of the employer, much more important than the prince.
Xu Xiuyi sighed softly and smiled: "It doesn't matter, my mother's health has been not good. It's just that summer has finally arrived in the past two days, and she suddenly had another attack. The shopkeeper will just let me know when the things arrive."
When Sister Ming dealt with Lord Dehui and Princess Dachang, her father secretly helped her, so Sister Ming once gave her father an ivory token from Baicaotang.
With this token, they can come to Baicaotang to see a doctor or use any medicine for free, so why should they accept favors from the prince?
Shopkeeper Li nodded and asked the people below to watch the door. He took a small sealed bamboo tube from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Xiuyi.
"This is a secret letter from my employer from Northeastern Xinjiang. Miss Xu has signed it personally."
Xu Xiuyi immediately used the fire breakers prepared by the shopkeeper to bake the sealing wax of the small bamboo tube and took out the letter paper inside.
After reading it, I couldn't help but feel happy: "Sister Ming will be back from Northeast Xinjiang soon!"
Shopkeeper Li also smiled and nodded: "Yes."
He also received a secret handwritten letter from his hostess. The content of each secret letter to them was different, but they all mentioned that he was going back to the capital.
Xu Xiuyi carefully read the rest of the letter twice, and then burned the letter.
She had to find a way to contact the princess and tell her sister Ming's next plan.
On this side, Shangguan Zhou led his attendants out of Baicao Hall.
The attendant couldn't help but whispered: "Your Highness, although the eldest daughter of the Xu family has a reputation as a virtuous person, she is known to be upright and boring. Look at how well-behaved she was just now. Do you really want to marry this person?"
Do you want to be a princess?"
Everyone knows that the current Crown Princess will be abandoned sooner or later.
But although the eldest daughter of the Xu family was pretty, her beauty was not as good as that of the Ming family's aunt, the current empress of the Ming Dynasty.
In terms of talents, she cannot compare with the current crown princess who is excellent in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Just one - she is known as demure and talented because she wrote a volume of "Book of Encouragement"
I urge scholars all over the world to not only study dead books, but also to get out into the world and understand the people's sentiments, so as to live up to the teachings of Confucius.
In addition, she was praised for her conduct and behavior - she was quiet and cool, and she was always well-behaved, just like the model ladies from "Girls' Commandments" and "Girls' Training".
But every man knows that this kind of woman is definitely famous for being boring in the boudoir!
Lying in bed probably looks like a dead fish!
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks gentle and elegant, privately he does not like such an upright woman.
Just look at the current Crown Princess and you will know that she was originally a knowledgeable, talented and beautiful woman with enough status. However, she killed her legitimate grandson and was despised by His Majesty.
They have all been imprisoned in the side hall by His Royal Highness, and they are preparing to let her die of a "serious illness" slowly.
But she was very good at adapting to His Highness the Crown Prince's various hobbies, and actually made the Crown Prince change his mind and not be willing to kill her.
With such a crown prince "precious and precious", how on earth could a woman like Xu Xiuyi catch the prince's eye?
The prince chuckled and tapped his palm with his fan: "Why, do you really think that marrying a wife is about marrying a woman? Of course it is about marrying a useful person. Xu Xiuyi has a good reputation. If you marry her as the next crown prince, your father will do it."
Very satisfied.”
He just married a wooden statue and went back to enshrine it, so what does it matter?
The attendant frowned: "The key point is that although Mr. Xu, the minister of Dali Temple, is an important minister, he is also an old fox. He does not touch anything and is wise in everything. How can he let his only daughter marry His Highness the Crown Prince?"
A cold light flashed in the prince's narrow Danfeng eyes: "As for Mr. Xu's unwillingness to marry his daughter to me... then it would be better if he had to marry me."
He glanced at the attendant and chuckled: "Follow your previous instructions."
The attendant immediately understood: "Yes, I will go right now, just wait for the news."
He respectfully helped the prince get into the carriage, and after watching his master leave, he looked at each other with the other guard and both went in the other direction.
After they left, a tall figure quietly walked out from beside a pile of goods placed in the yard.
With a piece of grass in his mouth, he looked at the direction in which the prince disappeared, and then at the slim and slim Xu Xiuyi who had just come down from upstairs. The dim light in his silver-gray eyes flickered uncertainly.
Cang Qiao asked him to pay attention to the prince's whereabouts. It seemed that the prince was eyeing the young lady of the Xu family.
It's probably some shady idea.
He looked at Xu Xiuyi, who was walking over supporting the maid, and suddenly curved the corners of his lips evilly.
I just don’t know if the prince knows that this young lady from the Xu family is not as simple as she seems on the surface?
Xu Xiuyi had just said goodbye to the shopkeeper and was about to leave with the maid, but she suddenly raised her eyes and looked over as if she suddenly realized something.
Then she saw a tall silver-eyed man leaning against a pile of goods. He hugged his chest and looked at her with a half-smile: "Miss Xu, meet again?"
Xu Xiuyi paused, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly: "Who are you?"
Why is it this silver-eyed fox again?
"Ms. Xu, this is boring. Two months ago, the cargo boxes almost crushed you. I was the one holding the boxes. You also bought me a bowl of tea. The Xu family will not raise ungrateful people?"
The silver fox bit the grass roots and said with contempt on his face.
Xu Xiuyi's face turned cold. How could she tolerate this foreigner insulting her family: "Shut up, you foreigner is so unreasonable. Those boxes are your goods. If they fall, they will hurt people. I didn't let you...
…”
"Look, didn't Miss Xu remember to be here?" Silver Fox suddenly smiled and said.
When he smiled, his deep eyes were curved, the corners of his eyes were sharp, and the tails of his eyes were raised, making him look more and more like a beautiful fox.
Xu Xiuyi paused, feeling annoyed in her heart. This damn fox was lying to her!
She turned around and left without expression.
However, Silver Fox dodged and stopped in front of her, almost knocking her into her arms.
"What do you want from a foreign country? This is the capital of the Central Plains. If you are so rude and rude again, we will call you!" Mei Zhu, the maid next to Xu Xiuyi, quickly stopped in front of her young lady, wary and annoyed.
looked at him.
The man with black hair and silver eyes sneered, looked at Xu Xiuyi, and said meaningfully: "Is your lady afraid of being a disciple? Besides, I have something to tell your lady."
Xu Xiuyi looked at him coldly: "I don't know you, and I have nothing to say to you."
She had no favorable impressions of this frivolous and dissolute alien man.
After that, she glanced at Mei Zhu and said, "Let's go. If he dares to stop us again, call the shopkeeper's reporting officer!"
Mei Zhu glared at Silver Fox fiercely, then protected Xu Xiuyi as she walked out. The Xu family's carriage had also been waiting outside for a long time.
This time, Silver Fox didn't stop him. He just smiled but not smiled, and when she passed by him, he suddenly leaned forward and whispered in her ear——
"His Royal Highness seems to be determined to win Miss Xu. I just want to remind you to be careful, don't accidentally lose your virginity and regret it for eternity."
Xu Xiuyi paused for a moment, and her ears suddenly became hot. This shameless, rude and unruly silver-eyed fox!
