Yes, I've had enough sleep.
"You're being exiled tomorrow, are your wounds alright?"
Ouyang Yuqing heard her little princess ask about her injuries.
He recalled the ghostly figure again...
"Yes, the wound has scabbed over, so there's no problem with exile."
That's good……
Chen Meili, after waking up, sat in the cell staring at each other, bored to death.
If she's bored and unhappy, then no one else should be happy either.
So Chen Meili started making a fuss again.
The jailer...
I need to drink water...
The jailer...
I need to use the restroom...
The jailer...
At this moment, the jailer was being tormented by Shen Yingying, running around in circles.
"My dear aunt, what else do you want?"
Oh, jailer, what time is dinner?
Did you ask me about the nourishing soup I requested tonight?
"Grandma, I asked for you, but..."
Oh, so you think ginseng is too expensive? Can't you afford a ginseng that's a hundred years old, or even one that's only a few decades old?
A few dozen taels of ginseng that's been stored for decades is nothing, okay? You've swindled so much money from our family, yet you can't even part with a tiny bit of money, a few dozen taels?
"Hmph, go tell your boss that they're not giving our boss any ginseng tonics today."
If that person comes to see his brother tomorrow, I'll complain. I'll say that you've been operating behind closed doors, embezzling and accepting bribes, forming cliques and engaging in favoritism...
"No, no, no, little auntie, please stop talking. I'll go and urge our boss right now, is that alright?"
Hmph, hurry up and go, or the meal will be late...
"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's definitely not too late."
I'll go and urge them for you right away.
In their cell, one was making a scene, while the other was watching.
It felt like a peaceful and serene time.
The jailer walked breathlessly to the office of the Vice Minister of War.
"head……"
What is it now?
"Boss, did you bring back the Princess Consort of War? I feel like you brought back an ancestor!"
What do you mean by that?
"I delivered the food at noon today, and this Princess Consort of War complained that there was no soup in the food."
She also wants...
What does she want?
She not only wanted nourishing soup, but also the kind with ginseng.
"Then why didn't you report this?"
I didn't think it was realistic to add ginseng, so I didn't report it.
"It's such a small matter, and you have to come and bother me?"
"That's it," she said. "If we don't allow ginseng to be added, she'll complain when His Majesty comes to visit his brother tomorrow."
We are accused of backroom deals, forming cliques, and accepting bribes...
"Then what are you standing there for? What time is it? Hurry up and get them some food!"
Okay, boss, I'll go right away.
The jailer was just about to leave.
The Vice Minister of War called him back.
Make sure to prepare a more lavish meal for the couple tonight. Take out an extra hundred taels of silver to buy a decent ginseng, so that the princess won't find anything wrong with it, and we won't have to go through any trouble. Understand?
As for the silver we've collected, we'll accept less of it. In short, it's better to avoid ending up with nothing.
"Boss, you have such a big vision, I just can't see it that way."
Yes, you must broaden your perspective in the future, and don't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains, understand? It's not worth it.
"Okay, old man, I got it. I'll go out and get them some food right away."
The jailer walked out of the office of the Vice Minister of War.
The Vice Minister of War was roaring in his office.
What the hell is this thing? You can't scold it, you can't hit it, you have to treat it like a god.
This is fucking frustrating...
Just when Shen Yingying was so bored in prison that she was practically growing mushrooms, the prison warden led a group of soldiers to deliver her food.
This time, the warden was clever; he had food delivered to other cells.
He went to Shen Yingying's place in person.
The jailer, carrying a food box, said to the guards, "Open the cell door..."
