"Prince and Young Master, please wait here first." The person in charge of the palace led them into the lobby and called a maid to serve tea.
After an hour, they still didn't see Ruanruan.
Xiao Shunan glanced at the door, but still couldn't see Ruanruan. "Where's Ruanruan? Which courtyard does she usually live in? Why don't we go find her directly?"
As he said this, he stood up from his chair and seemed to be going out. The servant who had been staring at them at the door hurried in.
"Please be patient, my prince and my son. We are not allowed to go anywhere in the palace."
"Why don't you go to Ruanruan's yard and inform them." Xiao Shunan said to the servant.
"Yes, we have already passed the message. As for when the young doctor will see you, this... I don't know either." The servant had no idea where Ruanruan was, so he could only talk nonsense to appease Xiao Shunan.
"Just wait. Since we need help from others, we must show some sincerity." Xiao Qinbei glanced at Xiao Shunan and said.
Xiao Shunan sat back in his original seat and waited until the end of lunch, but still no sign of Ruanruan.
"Dad, we're here too early. How about we go back and wait for the palace to notify us?"
Could it be that the Prince of Jin's Mansion didn't want to give them medicine and deliberately left them here to make things difficult for them?
Just when Xiao Shunan couldn't sit still anymore and planned to go out and take a look.
The attendant outside hurried in, saluted the two and said, "The little miracle doctor is here."
Xiao Qinbei couldn't sit still and thought about it, but he forced himself to endure it with his strong self-control.
"Uncle Xiao, Ruanruan is here!" The little dwarf came in trotting, walked to the edge of the table, stood on tiptoe, and placed a piece of paper in his hand on the table.
"This is the medicine list. Another batch of medicine will be delivered tomorrow. You can count the medicine according to this list."
In the afternoon, Ruanruan and her uncle received the news that the medicine had arrived, and they immediately went to the warehouse to inform Xiaogan to get the medicine.
However, there was no place to store the medicine in Prince Jin's Mansion, so Xiao Gan took the vase to the mine.
There was a delay on the road.
"The medicine is at the mine. Uncle Prince Jin will have someone deliver it to the post station." Ruanruan explained breathlessly.
She was so tired that she put one hand on her waist, fanned herself with the other, stuck out her tongue, and smiled at Xiao Qinbei, revealing her upper and lower rows of pearly teeth.
"Well, okay, thank you Ruanruan, I'll ask someone to wait at the inn right away." Xiao Qinbei took a clean cup from the table, poured a cup of tea for Ruanruan himself, and handed it to Ruanruan's mouth.
Ruanruan reached out to take the cup and drank the tea in small sips.
"You're welcome, this is called..."
"Call...Oh, the money and goods are settled!" Ruanruan thought for a while and tapped her little head.
"I have already sent the money to Prince Jin's Mansion, but we only have 100,000 taels of gold. I will give you the rest of the money first, and we will give it to you all together when Prince Qing comes." Xiao Qinbei touched his beard, looking a little embarrassed.
"Okay." Ruanruan didn't know how much one hundred thousand taels of gold was worth, but since the other party was in trouble, she agreed.
Xiao Qinbei was delighted, "Thank you very much."
"You should distribute the medicine to those who are sick first. If you don't have enough money, you can save it slowly. There's no need to rush." Ruanruan raised her hand.
Xiao Qinbei called the guards around him and asked them to go to the inn to prepare immediately.
"Ruanruan!" Zhao Yong came in trotting like a whirlwind top.
Zhao Chengqian followed behind, and the servant behind Zhao Chengqian was holding a food box in his hand.
The servant bowed to everyone in the room, then walked to the table, opened the food box and took out a plate of sliced cantaloupe and a plate of sliced yellow-heart watermelon.
"Miss, this is the melon you just brought back. I had someone cut it up and sent it to you. Would you like to try it?"
"What kind of watermelon is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Xiao Shunan looked curiously at the plate of sliced yellow-heart watermelons on the table.
"And this melon, why does the skin have so many lines? I think I've seen it somewhere before."
Xiao Qinbei took a quick look and said, "This seems to be a melon sent as tribute from the Western Regions. I've seen it at the palace banquet, and His Majesty has also gifted it to the palace before."
"This is called Hami melon, or sweet melon. The one with yellow flesh is watermelon, but it's different from the red flesh watermelon." Ruanruan climbed onto the chair by herself and sat on it. The plate was a little far from her and her little hands couldn't reach it at all.
She opened her little mouth and pointed at her own mouth.
Zhao Chengqian reached out and gave her a piece of small yellow-heart watermelon. She took it softly, held the watermelon in her hand and began to take small bites.
"Hurry up and eat, these two watermelons are super sweet." Ruanruan urged everyone while chewing the watermelon in her hand.
"These are the melons that Grandma Ruanruan grew in the greenhouse. Ruanruan brought two sacks for everyone to try."
With her soft little mouth stuffed, she looked up at the guard staring blankly at her and said, "Brother Servant, there are some in the kitchen too. Come down and have some."
"Thank you, Miss." The guard happily saluted Ruanruan and then withdrew.
"Hmm... so sweet!" Zhao Yong said while chewing the watermelon.
"It's as sweet as the ones given by the Emperor in the palace!"
Xiao Shunan couldn't wait to take a piece to taste it. The yellow-heart melon was like watermelon, but the watermelon flavor was not as strong, but it was also sweet.
This was the first time he had seen a watermelon of this color and it was extremely rare.
"Dad, this melon is so delicious, please try it!" Xiao Shunan's eyes lit up while eating the melon, and he called out to Xiao Qinbei opposite him.
Prince Jin’s Mansion is really great, it has all kinds of rare things.
Could it be that the strange man is the family member of the young miracle doctor?
Xiao Qinbei was tasting a piece of melon when someone hurried in. "Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Qing is here!"
"Why did he come so soon?" Xiao Shunan asked in confusion with a frown after finishing a piece of watermelon.
But think about it, Prince Qing is a very cunning person. He probably doesn't believe that his father is using medicine to save him, so he came here immediately.
"Let's go and take a look." Xiao Qinbei finished the watermelon in a few bites, stood up from the chair and spoke.
King Jin should have known about this matter.
"Ruanruan, are you going? Let's go and see what's going on."
If Prince Qing saw how well Prince Jin was living in Qingzhou, he would probably be more worried than Prince Jin.
Over the years, Prince Qing has secretly done countless tricks to overthrow Prince Jin, and now he finally sees Prince Jin in such a miserable state.
He must have been feeling the same as he did when he first came here, secretly happy. Even now, despite being sick, he also wanted to come over to see how miserable Prince Jin was.
"Okay, okay! Ruanruan wants to go." Ruanruan put down the watermelon in her hand and said with a smile.
Zhao Chengqian was taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiping the watermelon juice off Ruanruan's face.
A pair of hands reached out before him, and Xiao Qinbei used his handkerchief to wipe Ruanruan's face.
Then he threw the handkerchief on the table and reached out to pick up Ruanruan from the chair.
