Si Haochen placed a cup of tea in front of Mingruo: "I have found the source of the Flame Heart Lotus Seeds, and I will go look for the medicine in a few days."
"Is the prince going on a long trip? How long will it take?" After careful care by himself and Doctor Xue, Si Haochen's physical condition is not bad, but he is not suitable for the fatigue of the journey.
However, Mingruo knew clearly that Si Haochen was informing him now, not asking for his opinion. As a family doctor, he just had to prepare Si Haochen's daily medication and emergency medicine.
"It's not me, it's us who are going on a long journey." Si Haochen was very unhappy when he heard that Ming Ruo had picked himself clean, "You follow me to find medicine."
"Oh." Mingruo thinks that if he goes along, he can continue the treatment on the road, which is almost the same as in the palace. "When to leave and how long to go, I need to prepare."
"It will take almost a month to leave on the Moon Festival." Si Haochen took a sip of tea and said, "Don't bring too many things. There is only one carriage. Moreover, you may need to ride a horse for some distance."
"Well, I don't know how to ride a horse..." Mingruo and her classmates had gone to a horse farm before, but the horses there were very docile, and there were horse trainers to help pull the horses.
"Yeah." Si Haochen didn't seem to care.
"Then I'll go back and get ready." Counting the days, it's time to set off in a few days.
"One more thing." Si Haochen began to suspect that there was something wrong with his bedroom, otherwise why would she always be in a hurry to leave, "I am going to attend the Yuexi Palace banquet, and you have to make me look bad. It doesn't look good.
, but it can’t look too bad.”
"Understood." Mingruo nodded. The emperor was so afraid of Si Haochen, so he definitely couldn't let him leave the imperial capital at will. Prince Yun's palace is in a state where water can't be poured into it, so it's not a problem for Si Haochen to sneak out for a few months. However,
He should look in good condition, so that the emperor would not dare to spy on the palace at will. But he should not be in too good condition, otherwise the emperor would make trouble and cause trouble.
"I said that you will be rewarded for refining the Snow Velvet Pill." Si Haochen coughed lightly, "Is there anything you want?"
"Can I have anything you want?" Mingruo's eyes sparkled.
"Ahem, I only have what I have." Si Haochen's lips curved slightly, "If you want the moon, I can't pick it up."
Um...I'm not a silly, sweet girl, so what's the use of the moon? I can't eat it, wear it, and sell it for money.
"I think... Your Majesty, just give me Wan'er eight thousand taels of silver." Yes, I am so tacky, please feel free to use your money to laugh at my shallowness, wow kaka.
"..." Si Haochen never expected that Ming Ruo would ask for silver directly, and only wanted ten thousand taels.
Seeing that Si Haochen didn't speak, Mingruo's big eyes rolled around - did he ask for too much? It should be fine. Looking at the "shabby warehouse" where Si Haochen piled up the gifts given by the emperor, he should be
Quite rich.
"Isn't it possible?" Mingruo thought that if it didn't work, he could get a 70%, 80%, or 10% discount.
"Okay." Si Haochen nodded, "Let Butler Zhou deliver it to you later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mingruo smiled immediately.
"..." In view of being 'molested' by Mingruo for singing last night, Si Haochen labeled Mingruo as greedy and lustful.
Returning to Zhuyuan, Mingruo drew a pattern of a pipa-sleeved coat and skirt for Zisu and asked her to make two or three sets according to it. Donghuan also has coat-skirt style clothes, but the sleeves are very wide, so they are usually worn in
It’s not very convenient, let alone going out. Men’s clothing does have narrow-sleeved clothing, but women’s clothing does not.
"What kind of clothing material does the princess want to use and what pattern does she like?" Zi Su's red dress is the best among the three girls. She knew it by just looking at the pattern.
"The material doesn't need to be too luxurious, it needs to be tough, and there doesn't need to be too much embroidery." Mingruo's passion for clothes and jewelry is limited, and she mainly focuses on practicality.
"My slave understands." Zisu nodded.
After explaining Zi Su, Mingruo called Zi Cao over who was busy in the kitchen and told her how to make beef jerky, pork jerky and meat floss, and asked her to try making them.
Ever since Lu Qiaojiang helped build a bread cellar outside the small kitchen, Zicao has been obsessed with baking various snacks. Now the princess has talked about how to make dried meat and dried meat, and she can't wait to start making it.
The two matters of 'clothing' and 'food' have been dealt with. As for the issues of 'accommodation' and 'travel', it depends on Si Haochen's arrangements. Well, taking the opportunity to prepare medicine for going out, Mingruo felt that he
You can go to the palace's medicine store and have some fun.
Mingruo was walking in the yard after dinner. Housekeeper Zhou came in with his servants, each carrying a mahogany box, totaling five large boxes.
Butler Zhou came up with a smile: "Princess, this is the silver that the prince asked to send, a total of thirty thousand taels. You can see where it is suitable to put it. The old slave asked them to put it for you. These boxes are heavy, and the ones in the yard are
The ladies are afraid they won’t be able to move it.”
"Zisu, please open the warehouse and let them move in." Mingruo was a little surprised. She didn't expect His Highness Prince Yun to be so generous.
What Mingruo didn't know was that His Highness Prince Yun originally wanted to give more. However, thinking that his princess might run away with the money he gave, he didn't want to give so much. Moreover, he asked Butler Zhou to open the
Cash was taken from the warehouse, but it was inconvenient to carry and run away. His Royal Highness Prince Yun took great pains.
Butler Zhou led the people to put away the silver and then bowed and left. Ming Ruo winked at Zi Su.
Zi Su took out five taels of silver ingots from her sleeve pocket and gave them to Butler Zhou, and gave some scattered silver to a few boys: "Thank you for your hard work, the princess will give everyone the money to drink."
Butler Zhou and a few boys thanked him and left happily.
Mingruo tried to collect the silver into the medical system while there was no one in the warehouse. Silver powder can be used as medicine, and theoretically it should be possible. Yes, it was collected. For fifty-two ingots of silver, only three ingots can be collected at most.
, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
Mingruo couldn't help but wonder why he couldn't just give her the banknote so that she could use it as paper and collect it directly.
Three days before the Moon Festival, Prince Yun's Mansion received a post about the palace banquet. The Moon Eve Palace Banquet is the same as the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet. Only royal family members and officials of third rank or above and their family members are eligible to participate. However, after receiving the post, you can inform
Those who are ill will not attend. The day before the Yuexi Festival, Zhang Jinliang brought another imperial edict from Emperor Danxu: Prince Xuanyun entered the palace to attend the Yuexi Palace Banquet. The meaning was obvious - not going would mean disobeying the edict.
After Eunuch Zhang left, Mingruo glanced at the imperial edict that Si Haochen casually threw on the table. He could just pass on an oral edict, but he decided to write the edict formally: "The emperor often transmits edicts, so this edict is unavoidable."
It’s too worthless.”
"Haha." Si Haochen felt that Mingruo was right and was amused.
"When is the palace banquet scheduled?" Ming Ruo had never attended a palace banquet before, so she was still a little excited.
