"It was passed down from a friend's ancestors, and they decided to donate it for free. After I got this prescription, I found several people suffering from coughs to try it, and it worked very well." Jing Chen said.
"It really surprises me! Besides that kid from the Su family, you actually have other friends? I haven't seen you have any contact with any kid in this capital?" The emperor asked in surprise.
Jing Chen didn't say anything.
The emperor speculated again, "Could it be that he is not from the capital? I remember that you were away for several months last year. Could it be that he is a friend you met somewhere else? But Chen'er, it's dangerous out there, you must be careful!"
Jing Chen said: "No matter how dangerous it is outside, can it be more dangerous than this palace?"
"You! Okay, I won't say anything. Since you showed this prescription to me, you must have some ideas, right?" said the emperor.
"I hope that my father can distribute this method to medical clinics across Dragon Soul Country so that people suffering from coughs can get rid of their pain. Also, the price of this medicine should be affordable for the people." Jing Chen said.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Chen'er, you are very thoughtful. You are able to think wholeheartedly about the people. This makes father very pleased."
Jing Chen said, "This is what I, as a prince, should do. However, as the emperor, isn't your father the head of the Dragon Soul Nation?"
The emperor was a little surprised as to why Jing Chen would ask such a question, but he nodded and said, "Of course."
"Then are the people of this country the subjects of the emperor?"
"certainly."
"Father, are you willing to make a small contribution to the well-being of the people of Dragon Soul Nation?"
"certainly!"
"Since your father is so wise, then pay the money!"
"Pawn...silver? What silver?" the emperor stopped talking and asked.
"The one who offered this method is also a citizen of my Dragon Soul Kingdom. He is willing to offer his ancestral prescription to the people of my entire Dragon Soul Kingdom. As the breadwinner of the people, if your father does not praise him, wouldn't it make the people of my Dragon Soul Kingdom feel disappointed?" Jing Chen said with a serious face.
"That makes some sense, but didn't you say that your friend was donated for free?" said the emperor.
"They are willing to donate it for free, which shows that they care about the people and cannot bear to see them suffer. As an ordinary family, they have such a broad mind. As the emperor who benefits from it, you cannot accept it without any regret!" Jing Chen said.
"You have spoken more today than you did in the past month. I would like to see what kind of ordinary people can make my third son, who has a withdrawn personality, speak so well of them!" said the emperor.
"Father, they have done me a favor, but they are just ordinary people. If you care about them, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for them." Jing Chen said.
"Then aren't you afraid that my rewards to them will be targeted by those with ulterior motives?" asked the emperor.
"Father, please give me the reward. There is no need to publicize it. I will arrange for someone to deliver it. It won't attract anyone's attention."
"You kid, so you have been planning this. Since you have spoken well of them and this is indeed a good deed, I will reward them with 50,000 taels of gold, a pair of East China Sea night pearls at home, and my own handwriting of "Good Family". How about that?" said the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I feel this is not enough. The words you wrote cannot be exchanged for money. All the people want is to have enough food to eat. Your Majesty might as well give you something practical." Jing Chen frowned.
"You little bastard! Do you know how many people want my handwriting? And you actually say it's worthless?" the emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, could it be that your son's frailty was cured suddenly? Could it be that your grandmother was able to survive and was cured suddenly?" Jing Chen said with a stern face.
"What? Chen'er, are you saying that all this is also related to the family you mentioned?" The emperor was a little surprised.
Jingchen nodded.
"Reward! We must reward! Since my handwriting is worthless, how about granting them a local idle official position?" said the emperor.
"No way! I believe they will enter the official career with their own abilities." Jing Chen also learned from the letter that Xu Wenwu was very talented in writing and won the first place in the examination for students in his first year at the academy. His future would be bright.
The emperor was surprised and said, "I really want to see what kind of family you are talking about. How can ordinary people have 500-year-old ginseng? How can your weak illness be cured in just a few months? Chen'er, are you sure they are just ordinary people?"
"Your son is sure, but I hope Your Majesty can keep it a secret and not mention it to outsiders. I'm afraid they will get into trouble because of it." Jing Chen said.
"Okay, Your Majesty understands. Since they saved the Queen Mother, these rewards are a bit insufficient. I'll add another 50,000 taels of gold. Also, I remember the foreign country offered ten pieces of flowing brocade. Keep two and give the rest. Also, a pair of jasper ruyi and two pieces of gold, silver and jade."
"Please, father, send someone to deliver these things to my palace as soon as possible. I'll take my leave." After Jing Chen finished speaking, he left without looking back.
When the emperor saw that he was about to leave, he immediately shouted, "Chen'er, you haven't told me which town this family is from or what their names are!" But he only saw a piece of his clothes, and his figure was no longer there.
"This kid, after taking advantage of me, returned to his previous ways, not even afraid that I would go back on my word. But! Since I have already promised this kid, I must keep my word!" After the emperor muttered to himself, he picked up the brush on the table and wrote four big characters. After stamping the jade seal on them, he nodded with satisfaction.
…
The next day, Qibao went to town with his grandmother and others.
Mrs. Qian brought Wang and her mother-in-law to a place that specialized in selling needlework. She must have frequented this place, as the owner was a middle-aged woman over 40 years old.
