In the afternoon, Mingruo was in the alchemy room, watching his old apprentice skillfully refining the elixir to stop bleeding. "Old Huai was greatly comforted" and nodded: "Very good, now we can start refining the antihypertensive elixir."
"Okay." Old Shen took the booklet handed over by the master, which contained the recipe and refining steps for the antihypertensive pill. The refining of the antihypertensive pill was much more complicated than the hemostatic pill, and he still needed to think about it for a few days.
"You should explore on your own first. If you find anything you can't handle well, just write it down." Ming Duozhang shopkeeper Ruo took her husband shopping irresponsibly.
In the afternoon, Jinxiu Street was not as busy as in the morning. Many shops had no customers, and some waiters were napping on the counters.
However, there were several carriages parked in front of the Yunzhuang Building, and in the rouge shop on the first floor, there were many ladies and ladies shopping for rouge.
When I walked into Yunzhuang Building, I felt a chill hit my face. There was a huge ice bowl in the middle of the store, filled with ice cubes.
When shopkeeper Wu saw that the princess was wearing women's clothes today, he didn't say much and just followed the 'owner' silently. Mingruo didn't stop on the first floor and went straight to the 'office' on the third floor.
After entering the private room used for working, shopkeeper Wu stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wan'an."
"No gift." Ming Ruo raised her hand, "I didn't expect that Madam would be quite enthusiastic about shopping on such a hot day."
"It's the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days. Since it's her birthday, the royal family members and the family members of officials of the third rank and above will all come to the palace for the banquet. Naturally, the ladies and ladies will have to buy clothes and jewelry." Shopkeeper Wu explained.
"Oh..." Mingruo looked at Si Haochen with some doubts, "Did the Queen Mother hold a birthday banquet last year? Why don't I remember it at all?"
"At this time last year, 'you' should have been copying scriptures and praying for blessings in the mansion, and did not attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, so I don't remember clearly." Si Haochen kindly reminded.
"Oh." Mingruo calculated carefully. At this time last year, she followed Si Haochen to the northwest to 'fight', and she was indeed not in the imperial capital.
"Moreover, the Emperor advocates frugality. The concubines in the palace can only hold grand palace banquets on their birthdays. At other times, they only hold 'family banquets' and only family members celebrate their birthdays." Si Haochen gave Ming Ruo a popular science about the things in the palace.
"That's pretty good." Mingruo worries most about attending palace banquets. If it's a birthday banquet, how many gifts would have to be given...
Si Haochen felt that his daughter-in-law was very smart most of the time, but sometimes she could be a bit silly: "It's unfortunate that you are also a 'clan relative'."
"Ah...yes..." Mingruo realized that he was indeed happy too early.
"Haha, don't worry." My daughter-in-law is very cute no matter what, "As long as the gifts are delivered, she doesn't care whether they go or not."
"That's good." It's worth spending money to 'buy' some peace and quiet.
Mingruo briefly understood the operating conditions of Yunzhuang Building, explained some things to shopkeeper Wu, and then went to the jewelry workshop in the backyard.
When the steward of the workshop saw Mingruo and Si Haochen, he quickly stepped forward to salute.
"No gifts." Mingruo asked as he walked in, "How is the crystal tea set going?"
"It's done. Princess, please come here." The steward invited Mingruo and Si Haochen to a room and unlocked the door with the key.
This room looks like both an exhibition room and a warehouse. There are various brocade boxes placed on the ancient shelves. There are some things on the long table in the middle, which are covered with white silk.
The steward uncovered a piece of silk, and an oval white crystal tea table came into view. On the left side of the tea table were carved pine trees and cranes, and on the right side were placed teapots, tea cups, tea washers and other tea utensils, all made of white crystal.
Made with thought.
Si Haochen casually picked up a teacup. The patterns on the teacup were simple and smooth, and looked very elegant: "This tea set is very beautiful."
"It's beautiful." Ming Ruo smiled at Si Haochen, "This is for senior brother."
"..." His Royal Highness Prince Yun's jealousy was overturned immediately. This bad girl doesn't even think about her husband even if she has good things!
Mingruo took the tea cup from Si Haochen's hand and put it back to its place. Then, she led her husband with a foul-looking face to the other end of the long table and reached out to lift the silk covering it.
This is a set of tea sets carved from amethyst. The tea table is in the shape of a lotus leaf. On the upper left is a full moon. There are several hibiscus carved on the bottom and a few small fish scattered among them, which is very lively.
"Princess, please see if the fish in the cup is what you want." The steward took a pot of water and poured it into the cup.
The small fish carved on the bottom of the cup were originally not very obvious, but due to the refraction of the water, they became vivid, as if they were moving in the water.
"Yes, that's it." Mingruo brought the tea cup to Si Haochen, "Do you like it?"
"Yeah." Si Haochen's face was very indifferent, but he was very happy in his heart - this amethyst tea set is obviously more exquisite than the white crystal one, and the bad girl still has some conscience.
"This can be considered your birthday gift." They were all busy in Zhongzhou before, and Si Haochen's birthday was not specially celebrated.
"Okay." Si Haochen said to the steward, "Send it to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The steward quickly found the brocade box and packed all the tea sets on the tea table before calling the boy to come over and pack the boxes.
"Pack up the white crystal set as well. I'll have someone pick it up in two days." Mingruo didn't know when his senior brother's birthday was, so he must have given it as a gift on Moon and Eve.
"Yes, princess."
Mingruo walked around the workshop again and then left with Si Haochen.
"Where to go next?" Si Haochen asked.
"I have nowhere to go. If you don't have anything else to do, let's go home." Mingruo didn't take a nap today and was now sitting in the carriage, feeling a little sleepy from being shaken around.
"Then come with me." Si Haochen chuckled and took Mingruo into his arms, "Go to sleep. If you wake up, I'm afraid you won't be able to arrive yet."
"Where are you taking me?" Mingruo blinked his eyelids that could barely open.
"You'll know when the time comes." Si Haochen smiled mysteriously.
"Okay." Mingruo found a comfortable position in Si Haochen's arms, "I'm really asleep, you have to watch me, this soft couch is too narrow, you might fall off if you're not careful."
"Sleep with you." Si Haochen's dry palms directly covered Mingruo's big eyes.
Mingruo slept very deeply and only woke up in the evening.
I saw a mountainous field outside the car window, reflecting the sunset in the sky, as gorgeous as an oil painting of pastoral scenery: "Where is this?"
"Don't you think it looks familiar?" Si Haochen supported his head with his hands and tilted his head to look out the window.
"In my eyes, mountains, trees, etc. are all the same." This is also the main reason why Mingruo doesn't know the way in the wild.
This girl doesn't know her way around well in the city, and Si Haochen has no hope that she can know her way out in the wild: "If you go a little further and you still don't know her, there's nothing you can do."
