Sugar Baby left two prescriptions and mentioned some precautions before preparing to say goodbye and go home.
Concubine Liu was naturally enthusiastic about retaining the sugar baby.
She now wishes she could treat her sugar baby as a gift and give him to him directly.
As for the matter of Sugar Baby losing face to his man, although Concubine Liu found a reason to comfort King Cheng'en, she was a little happy in her heart.
Finally, the prince knew that the difficulties faced by the heirs of the prince's family were not all caused by women.
"It's almost lunch time. Why don't the little miracle doctor stay and have a simple meal and let our palace express our gratitude." Concubine Liu said earnestly.
Just as Tangbao was about to refuse, Princess Linghua looked at Tangbao and said enthusiastically: "I still have a little bit of money in my hand. Let's discuss it after dinner and see how to donate it, okay?"
Sugar Baby: "...That's fine."
After all, he was the one who led the princess to the path of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and he could not dissuade her from her enthusiasm.
However, Tangbao didn't expect that what Princess Linghua called scraps of money was really scraps of silver.
"That's all?" Tangbao was speechless as he looked at the few broken silver coins that Princess Linghua took out.
"Don't be too little." Princess Linghua said with some embarrassment: "These were found in the longan bag."
"Guiyuan?" Tangbao asked, "Is that the maid with the round face?"
"That's her!" Princess Linghua showed a trace of anger on her face and said, "If you hadn't reminded me to donate more money to accumulate merit, I wouldn't have known that that dead girl had been stealing from me all these years.
So many jewelry items were stolen.”
Princess Linghua became very angry when she mentioned longan.
She trusted her so much in vain, she actually fooled her master into thinking he was a fool.
"How is the maid doing now?" Tangbao asked.
He won't be beaten to death, right?
Tangbao has heard that many servants of wealthy families made mistakes and were beaten and killed by their masters.
"I kicked her out of the palace!" Princess Linghua said bitterly: "If I hadn't wanted to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, I would never have spared her so easily! Such deceptions betray the lord and betray the righteousness.
Your slaves should be severely punished as a warning to others! Otherwise, the servants in the house will follow your example and mess up the rules and regulations!"
Tangbao agreed very much with Princess Linghua's words.
It would be impossible to live in such a large mansion without strict rules and regulations.
After Princess Linghua finished speaking, she looked at the few broken silver coins in her hand and said, "What good deeds can we do with this money? Give it to the beggars in the city? Give porridge to the dilapidated temple? Or..."
"How about buying some ginger brown sugar and boiling some ginger syrup." Tangbao thought and said, "When the candidates in the Gongyuan come out, give each of them a bowl to drink..."
Before Tang Bao finished speaking, Princess Linghua's eyes lit up.
"That's right! That's a good idea!" Princess Linghua said excitedly: "In this way, those good deeds will definitely be very grateful to us, and we will definitely get a lot of merit!"
Concubine Liu walked in and said with admiration: "The little miracle doctor is still smart, but now that the weather is cold, those candidates must have suffered a lot while taking the examination in Gongyuan. I am afraid that after leaving Gongyuan, what they need most is a bowl of hot food.
Huge ginger syrup."
After Concubine Liu finished speaking, she handed a box to Princess Linghua and said: "This is a little bit of my private money. Princess also bought some things for me and donated it."
Princess Linghua took the box very happily.
"Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter." Princess Linghua vowed: "When the time comes, I will tell the Buddha that this is your merit and it will be recorded on you!"
Concubine Liu couldn't help but stretched out her hand to help Princess Linghua stretch out the wrinkled corners of her clothes.
The look she looked at Princess Linghua was full of tenderness.
"It doesn't have to be remembered on me, just on you." Concubine Liu said softly: "No matter whether my status is worthy of it or not, in my heart, I regard you as my biological daughter."
Princess Linghua's expression became a little awkward when she heard this.
"I, I actually regard you as my mother." Princess Linghua said stumblingly.
Her biological mother died young and she was raised by Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu's eye circles were red again and her nose was a little sore. Just as she was about to speak, a maid came in and reported respectfully: "Concubine Concubine Liu, someone from Lord Yu's residence said they are giving something to Aunt Yu."
Concubine Liu frowned.
If you don't come early, if you don't come late, if you come at this time, I'm afraid it won't just be a gift, right?
Concubine Liu wanted to send him away directly, but thinking that Concubine Yu's father was a fourth-rank official in the imperial court after all, she finally saved face for the Yu Mansion.
"Take her to see Aunt Yu," Concubine Liu said.
Concubine Yu probably wouldn't say anything nonsense after the beating she had with the prince, Concubine Liu thought to herself.
The maid agreed and stepped back gently.
Soon, a woman wearing a maroon coat was brought into the palace through the corner gate and into the courtyard of Concubine Yu...
**
Little did Tangbao know that from the moment she was brought into the palace by Prince Cheng'en and his daughter, she caused a sensation in the capital.
And the story about her bet with Su Yurui at the gate of Gongyuan spread quickly in the capital.
In the palace.
Emperor Tianxi put down his imperial pen, looked at Eunuch Liu, and asked, "Is it true that we made a bet?"
Eunuch Liu bowed and said with a smile on his face: "When I return to the emperor, I really made a bet. It was a bet made by the direct descendants of the Su family and Princess Fude. Now the people in the capital are waiting to see the excitement."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianxi showed a funny expression on his face.
Immediately, he said: "I'm afraid the door plaque of the Su family cannot be saved. Anyway, since it has lost the demeanor of our ancestors and the character of a scholar, it is not worthy of such praise. It is time to take down the plaque."
After listening to the emperor's words, Eunuch Liu silently lit a row of wax for the Su family, a century-old family.
So what if it has been passed down for hundreds of years?
If your descendants fail to live up to their expectations, they will eventually be defeated.
At this time, the head of the Su family felt his head was buzzing and he almost fainted.
"Obstacle!" The head of the Su family scolded with a livid face: "You are going to kill the whole Su family! The Su family's century-old reputation will be ruined in your hands!"
Su Yurui was naturally unconvinced after hearing this.
"Uncle, it is impossible to ruin the reputation of our Su family! You can't build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige! How can we, with so many people in the Su family, fail the exam for a poor guy from the countryside?" Su Yurui said loudly.
When the head of the Su family saw Su Yurui, he still looked stubborn and angry, with veins popping up on his forehead.
"Come here! Please help me!" the head of the Su family shouted.
Someone agreed and went to get the seven-foot-long black iron ruler handed down from the ancestors of the Su family.
When Su Yurui heard this, his expression immediately changed.
"Uncle, you can't hit me!" Su Yurui shouted: "Those members of our Su family have said that they will definitely pass that boy's exam. Then we will pick up the plaque from that little girl's family..."
"Shut up! Do you have the ability to pick someone else's plaque?" The head of the Su family yelled angrily: "Do you know that the boy from the Su family you are talking about is Jieyuan of Qingzhou Prefecture!"
Su Yurui: "..."
Suddenly I felt a little unsure.
"Well, that's just Jieyuan in a small place." Su Yurui said with some stuttering: "It's impossible to say that that shabby place has not many scholars at all..."
"Are you still making excuses?!" The head of the Su family looked at Su Yurui with a look of pain on his face and gritted his teeth and said: "The third young master of the Bai family, Bai Shuzhi, and Qiu Wei, who attended the same meeting with him, were ranked below him and had to get a
Second place!”
Su Yurui: "..."
Silly.
"Brother, Su Ming is back from Fengqi County!" Su Zhengyan hurriedly walked in and said.
Following Su Zhengyan's words, a man in his thirties walked in with a dusty appearance.
