Chapter 108 Outright Rejection
There were servants waiting in front of the fifth prince's residence.

Seeing the Dongfang family's carriage slowly stopping, the servants hurried over to say hello, "Young Master, Your Highness the Princess."

Dongfang Yuebai helped Su Chengying get out of the carriage and said, "Lead the way."

The servant nodded respectfully and led the way, waiting for the two of them outside the study room before making a 'please' gesture.

Su Chengying walked in with the white moonlight in the east, and an unusually familiar smell hit her face. After walking a few steps inside, she saw the fifth prince sitting at the round table in the hall, with an old man standing behind him.

Su Chengying felt that she had to say something when meeting the fifth prince, but before she could say anything, Dongfang Yuebai pulled her to sit opposite the fifth prince.

Zhang Xiuru frowned and said, "Young Master, it's okay if you don't understand the rules. How can you be so unruly with outsiders?"

"Who is this..." Su Chengying looked at Dongfang Yuebai and asked.

"Mr. Zhang next to His Highness Fifth Highness." Dongfang Yuebai smiled, then looked at Zhang Xiuru and said, "Since Mr. Zhang understands etiquette so well, then please go ahead."

Zhang Xiuru was stunned, "What do you want?"

Dongfang Yuebai raised his eyebrows, "I am not hereditary, but my wife is a princess conferred by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As a commoner, how can Mr. Zhang not be polite when meeting the princess?" "

Zhang Xiuru had always been aloof and arrogant, so asking him to bow down to a princess of the opposite sex from a foreign country made him feel even more humiliated than a slap in the face, and his face immediately darkened.

The fifth prince looked at Su Chengying and smiled, "Actually, I invited Princess Shengtang to come today because she has something to discuss."

Su Chengying could tell that the fifth prince still valued Zhang Xiuru, otherwise he would not have helped to smooth things over, so he said no more and nodded, "Your Highness, please speak."

The fifth prince said, "I heard that someone was causing trouble in the shop under Princess Shengtang some time ago. I have been worried about it. The hospital will be recruiting tributes in the future, and Princess Shengtang has no intention to deal with it, so I thought of finding a few people. Contribute to the Princess of the Tang Dynasty and strive to attract tribute from the Imperial Hospital for the Princess of the Tang Dynasty."

These words were spoken sincerely, and they were also expected by Su Chengying, because when she just entered the door, she smelled the familiar smell of medicine. It was obvious that doctors were often walking around in the study recently.

Unfortunately, Su Chengying didn't believe a word of what the fifth prince said.

"The imperial hospital's recruitment of tributes is a very important matter. I think the imperial court will investigate it carefully. Once the involvement of the Fifth Highness is found out, it may not be good. Therefore, I can only accept the kindness of the Fifth Highness."

This is rejected?
The fifth prince was stunned on the spot, never expecting that he would be rejected one day.

And he refused so cleanly!

Amidst the silence, the fifth prince looked at Dongfang Yuebai who was standing aside. Dongfang Yuebai was holding a teapot and pouring a cup of tea for himself. By the way, he poured another cup of tea for Su Chengying, with no intention of paying any attention to the fifth prince.

Dongfang Yuebai naturally knew that it was Zhang Xiuru's idea to kill first and then tell Su Chengying, but since the fifth prince went directly to Su Chengying instead of him, he would have to bear the consequences no matter what.

Fifth Prince, "..."

What's wrong with suddenly feeling so helpless?

Zhang Xiuru said with an expressionless face, "To be able to get the secret help of His Majesty the Fifth Highness is a blessing that no one can ask for, but the Princess of the Tang Dynasty is so ignorant. She really has long hair and short knowledge." How to provoke a general?

Su Chengying felt that the fifth prince really valued Mr. Zhang, otherwise how could he have been accustomed to this kind of behavior?I'm afraid Mr. Zhang has forgotten who the royal family is, right?
"Since Mr. Zhang can stand beside His Majesty the Fifth Highness, he must be talented, knowledgeable, and highly respected. I respect Mr. Zhang's bright future even in his twilight years. Although I don't expect Mr. Zhang and I to respect each other, Mr. Zhang is so important to me. It would be a bit shameless to rely on an old man and show off his old age in front of others, to disrespect the old man...

Zhang Xiuru was suddenly startled, "You, what did you say?"

Su Chengying said slowly, "Why, Mr. Zhang has heard too many things, so now you can't even understand people's words?"

The fifth prince valued Zhang Xiuru. In order not to cause trouble for Dongfang Yuebai, Su Chengying didn't worry about it just now, but this did not mean that she could tolerate Zhang Xiuru without any bottom line.

It doesn't matter if Zhang Xiuru forgets the royal surname, as long as she remembers her surname, Su Chengying, Su.

It was Dongfang Yuebai who was drinking tea with his head down, and very wisely covered the raised corners of his lips with his sleeves.

The fifth prince was also a little confused. All the students under Zhang Xiuru's family had achieved many achievements in the court. Even his father had to be polite to Zhang Xiuru when he saw him. Why did he scold Su Chengying when he opened his mouth?
"He is simply stubborn and arrogant! The imperial hospital's recruitment and assessment are strict, and it is no child's play. Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, only cares about the young prince. How can he allow the Princess of the Tang Dynasty to speak filthy words here and not know what is good and what is good!" Zhang Xiuru lived for most of his life! , I have never seen such an arrogant woman.

"The Dongfang family's medicine shop is now divided into two. Who is behind the other half? I know, and Mr. Zhang knows. It is true that His Highness the Fifth Prince cares about me, but it is also true that he does not want the other side to receive tribute." Su Chengying said calmly. Just smile, they are all old Chinese medicine practitioners, what kind of remedies are you giving me here?

The fifth prince felt that he could not let Su Chengying talk anymore, otherwise he would really be unable to hold back his face, "Princess Shengtang is really smart as ice and snow, but although I do have this intention, if Princess Shengtang can join forces with me to get the trick The tribute qualification is also not a loss."

Su Chengying smiled faintly and said, "I have my own concerns about recruiting tributes for the Taiyuan Hospital, so I won't bother Your Highness."

Zhang Xiuru snorted and said, "He's full of arrogance, and he doesn't even know how high the sky is!"

Su Chengying raised her eyes after hearing this, "Since Mr. Zhang has doubts about my medical skills, how about comparing the doctor hired by the Fifth Highness to me? If the Fifth Highness's men win, I will voluntarily cooperate with the Fifth Highness. Two words."

The fifth prince thought for a while and said, "How do you want to compare, Princess Tang Dynasty?"

Su Chengying said, "It's very simple. The Fifth Highness and I offer tea to each other. I will drink the tea offered by the Fifth Highness, and the tea I offer will be tasted by the Fifth Highness himself. During this period, the poison can be poisoned or detoxified, until one of the parties You should first recognize the poison and stop it from being poisoned."

Zhang Xiuru's beard started to blow when he heard this, "Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, has a noble status, how can he be so presumptuous?"

Su Chengying sneered, "If His Highness the Fifth Prince himself doesn't believe in the doctors he hired, what chance does Mr. Zhang think those people have in helping me win tribute?"

"Then let's compete." The fifth prince sighed.

"His Highness Fifth..."

Zhang Xiuru wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the fifth prince raising his hand, "Mr. Zhang, there is no need to say more."

He said that this matter should be discussed with Yue Bai first, but Zhang Xiuru insisted on calling Su Chengying over in his name, and said that women have always been long-haired and short-sighted...

As a result, he was kicked on the steel plate.

How to fix it?
He doesn’t want to compete, but why not?
