Chapter 115 Recruiting tribute ([-])

At the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Liu waited until she received the news of Su Chengying's arrival at the medicine shop, and then she went to attend the tribute gathering with peace of mind.

At this time, the Dingjiang Tea House had already gathered the heads of major drug stores in Shangjing City, including many famous doctors in the city who had been invited by major drug stores to help out.

As soon as Mrs. Liu and the doctors entered the door, they attracted the attention of everyone in the building, especially the doctors from the Imperial Hospital who came to assist with supervision. They all took the initiative to talk to Mrs. Liu. Hello, after all, the chief supervisor this time is the eldest lady’s father, Liu Zhenyue.

When the major shops competed for quotas, the doctors around the eldest lady Liu were far ahead, crushing other pharmacies. Faced with such a smooth situation, the eldest lady Liu's face was full of glory. His proud smile never faded.

A servant quietly came to Mrs. Liu's side and reported, "Aunt Su has sent news that Princess Sheng Tang is personally attending clinics in several of her shops. She seems to be providing free consultations to the people in the city."

The eldest lady Liu glanced at the dejected heads around her and said with a sneer, "Su Chengying is really scheming. She knows that while everyone else is busy recruiting tribute today, she can win people's hearts and seek fame for her shop, but regardless of her No matter how much you fight for it, it's just a crossbow. Once I get the tribute, the royal family will support me. Then what will Su Chengying have to fight with me?"

The servant lowered his voice and added, "I heard that the young master seems to have entered the palace today."

The eldest lady Liu waved her hand, "What kind of trouble can a dandy make? I'm afraid he will just follow the fifth prince to flatter him again."

Over the years, Mrs. Liu has seen with her own eyes how Dongfang Yuebai eats, drinks and has fun. In the final analysis, he is just a useless person who is just waiting to die and is not worth wasting her efforts.

Beiliang Shangjing Palace, Fengyi Palace.

Empress Meng had just sent away the concubines who came to pay their respects, and was walking listlessly to the inner palace when she heard Nanny Xi say, "Empress, the young master is here."

When Queen Meng heard this, a loving smile instantly appeared on her dull face, and even her steps became much faster. When she arrived at the outer hall of the palace, she saw that she was sitting slumped on a bas-relief of cirrus clouds. Dongfang Yuebai, who was sitting on the rose chair, was tossing the eggs in his hand and catching them in boredom.

Grandma Xi was stunned when she saw this. What are you doing with an egg?
Dongfang Yuebai saw the Queen Queen entering the door, collected the eggs and stood up to salute, "Please greet the Queen Queen."

Empress Meng supported Dongfang Yuebai, then looked at the egg in Dongfang Yuebai's hand, and said helplessly, "You came to the palace to practice martial arts when you were a child. I intend to teach you to be a dandy, just for the sake of expediency." Your life is not in danger, but now you have become like this, unable to sit or standing."

Dongfang Yuebai smiled lightly and said, "It's good to be a dude. At least you can sit when you should sit and dare to stand when you should stand."

When Queen Meng heard this, she felt sad, "As long as I live, no one can bully you."

Dongfang Yuebai thought for a while and said, "After I leave the palace, I will invite a Bodhisattva back and pray sincerely for the Queen to be blessed with great blessings and a long life."

This dude didn't act in vain, at least he has a really sweet mouth.

Queen Meng sat on the Luohan Tower, looked at Dongfang Yuebai and smiled, "It's rare for you to flatter me when you see me. Tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

Dongfang Yuebai did not hide anything and told Su Chengying's plan to recruit tribute. After hearing this, the smile on Queen Meng's face slowly faded.

No wonder Concubine Liu Rengui was dragging her as if she was worth [-] yuan when she paid her respects today. It turned out to be so.

The imperial hospital's recruitment of tributes is related to the safety of the entire palace. Even the emperor's life depends on the medicinal materials from the imperial hospital. The second prince is really brave to put his mind on this! "So, you want me to come forward and ask the emperor to leave the palace?" Queen Meng asked.

Dongfang Yuebai nodded, "Based on Su Chengying's calculations, she should have already thought that if she relied solely on the few supervisors who recruited tribute this time, no matter how hard she tried, she would probably lose to the Liu family, so she had to find someone to come forward. , above everyone else, and able to influence everyone’s decisions.”

Queen Meng was a little surprised when she heard this.

With the support of the Liu family and Concubine Liu Ren, it was not surprising that the Liu family was able to scheme to recruit tribute, but Su Chengying was just a young girl, and she actually managed to trick the emperor directly?

This courage is really extraordinary.

"Asking the emperor to come forward is something that no one else can do, but it can't be difficult for you. Even if I don't need to come forward, as long as you say it, the emperor will definitely be willing to leave the palace. You know that the emperor is actually..."

"Empress, drink tea."

Before Queen Meng could finish her words, Dongfang Yuebai handed over a cup of tea.

Queen Meng didn't know that he was obviously blocking her mouth. She sighed and said, "I know what to do, don't worry."

Seeing that the Queen had agreed to the matter, Dongfang Yuebai didn't stay long. After drinking all the tea in the tea cup, he stood up and left.

As soon as they left, Nanny Xi said, "The emperor's outward expression of indifference and suspicion towards the young master is just a helpless act. After all, what happened back then..."

Queen Meng glanced at Aunt Xi, who quickly changed her words and said, "It is true that the Emperor has been suspicious of the Duke's Mansion in recent years, but he has always been concerned about and indebted to the Young Master. Otherwise, what about the Young Master back then?" I was able to enter the palace and study martial arts with the princes, but it is a pity that the young prince never understands the emperor's heart, and the emperor is not easy to express in public, so he can only make it difficult for the queen to accompany him and perform a show."

Queen Meng looked at Dongfang Yuebai's back and smiled, "As smart as he is, he doesn't understand the emperor's thoughts. He just doesn't want to face and admit it."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Queen Meng took a breath and said, "Go and see what snacks the imperial kitchen has made today. Bring a list to show me, and then send a message to the fifth prince, asking him to hurry up. Enter the palace quickly."

Since the second prince dares to put his hands and feet into the palace to stir things up, don't blame her for being rude.

At Dingjiang Tea House, the recruitment of tributes is still going on, but facing the doctors brought by Mrs. Liu, the other doctors are obviously a little powerless and unable to deal with it.

By the time of the final round of competition to recruit tribute, other shops had already begun to give up.

Seeing this, Liu Zhenyue said, "Since there is no one to compare, the quota for this tribute will belong to Dongfang Family Pharmacy!"

Seeing that the dust had settled and the work was done, the smile on Madam Liu's lips could not be hidden even if she wanted to.
