Chapter 153 The marriage is successful, the emperor is ecstatic
Qi Yanzhou's grandmother gave birth to two sons.
The eldest brother is Qi Yanzhou's father and inherited the title.
The second son, Qi Yanzhou's second uncle, separated from the family very early and left the capital with his grandmother.
Now, there is only Qi Yanzhou's family in Prince Chen's Mansion.
But because the old prince is "obsessed with women", there are still many masters in the palace.
The old prince has a principal wife, a concubine, and two concubines.
He had countless concubines, but none of them gave birth to children, so they were not considered masters and there was no need to pay attention to them.
Concubine Chen had two sons and one daughter.
After passing the imperial examination, the eldest son Qi Shuyan went to the bitter cold land of the northwest to serve as an official and did not return to Beijing for many years.
The youngest son was Qi Yanzhou, who inherited the title and became King of Chen.
My daughter married and moved to Liangzhou two years ago.
The concubine gave birth to a son named Qi Hean, who was obsessed with poetry and painting and lived in a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
The one who lived in the old prince's courtyard before was concubine Su, who gave birth to a daughter, but the daughter was still young and had not yet been arranged for marriage.
There was also an aunt, Gao, who gave birth to a son and was full of calculations.
These two concubines were both awarded by the emperor and were spies planted by the emperor in the palace.
After hearing this, Ye Chutang said, "If the emperor wanted to take over Prince Chen's Mansion, he wouldn't have set our wedding date too early. He would have to leave time for your eldest brother to rush back from the northwest."
Qi Yanzhou doesn't think so.
"No, the royal family has wanted to destroy the Qi family for a long time. When the opportunity arises, the emperor will definitely choose the nearest auspicious day, and then issue a secret order to the northwest to have the government arrest my brother and execute him on the spot."
"Then you must write to your brother quickly and tell him to be careful."
Qi Yanzhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, if my brother was so easy to be killed, he would have died eight hundred times already."
Of course, the letter still has to be sent.
He had to tell his eldest brother that he was getting married to his sweetheart.
Ye Chutang thought about it and agreed.
Qi Shuyan is "left alone", how could the Dog Emperor let go of such a good opportunity?
I should have killed him eight hundred times already!
It seems that the people in the Qi family are not simple!
She was just about to talk about exile when the housekeeper came to tell her to have dinner in the front yard.
Concubine Chen was worried that Ye Chutang would not be used to it, so she did not invite anyone else to lunch.
Although the old prince was arrogant, he was very friendly to Ye Chutang and it was obvious that he was easy to get along with.
After finishing the meal, Ye Chutang left Prince Chen's Mansion first.
Qi Yanzhou was going to the Dali Temple and went out with her.
"Ah Tang, you are pregnant. Don't get involved in the plan to take down Night Fury. Just give me the antidote."
Ye Chutang refused, "Your internal injuries haven't healed yet, I'll go with you."
Qi Yanzhou wanted to persuade him, but Ye Chutang silenced him with a glare.
"Okay, I'll come find you tonight. Tomorrow morning court will be the day when the Kong family and the Yongning Earl's Mansion will die!"
The two separated at the door.
Before Ye Chutang returned to the Shangshu Mansion, he went to Xinglin Hall.
Shopkeeper Lin was a little surprised by Ye Chutang's arrival, "Why is Miss Ye here?"
Just came this morning.
"Manager Lin, please inform all the clinics that if they want to know how to prevent smallpox, they should come to Xinglin Hall at noon tomorrow morning."
After the marriage was granted, she had to busy herself with the wedding and stockpiling, and had no free time.
Shopkeeper Lin immediately agreed, "Okay, I will notify you later."
After saying that, he bowed to Ye Chutang.
"Miss Ye is devoted to the people. Please accept my greetings."
Ye Chutang helped Shopkeeper Lin up.
"If the shopkeeper really wants to thank me, please do me a favor."
"Please tell me, Miss Ye. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
"The northwest is bitterly cold, with a shortage of supplies and everything. I want to ship a large batch of medicinal herbs over there. Shopkeeper Lin knows a lot of medicinal herb merchants. Please help me contact them. I want all the medicinal herbs they have. I will pay 40% of the price first, and the remaining 60% will be paid in one lump sum once the herbs are delivered to the northwest."
Shopkeeper Lin recalled that a servant of a rich young man had bought a lot of medicinal herbs and said he wanted to sell them in cold and bitter places.
Why does Miss Ye also want to do this business?
Although he promised the servant not to tell anyone, he felt that Ye Chutang was not an outsider.
So I just said it directly.
Ye Chutang: “…”
What about the promise of honesty and keeping your mouth shut?
Fortunately, she was the servant at that time, otherwise she would have been sold!
"Manager Lin, I bought the herbs not for business, but to help the people for free. People in the northwest are short of food and clothing, and herbs are even more scarce. Too many people have died because they have no medicine to eat."
Many civilians died, and so did the army!
She sent medicinal herbs to the northwest mainly to defeat the troops guarding the border.
Shopkeeper Lin didn't know Ye Chutang's true intention, and looked at her as if she were the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering.
"Miss Ye is truly a living Bodhisattva. Not only will I help you, I am also willing to pay 10% of the medical expenses."
One percent may not sound like a lot, but if you buy more herbs, it will be a staggering expense.
"Miss Ye, I will also work with other medical clinics and drugstores to persuade them to donate generously to help you reduce your burden."
Ye Chutang knew that Manager Lin had good intentions, but everyone knew that she didn't want to ship medicinal herbs to the northwest.
"Manager Lin, buying herbs and sending them to the northwest needs to be done in secret, otherwise the suspicious emperor might misunderstand. I will pay for all the medicines, you just need to contact the herbal medicine dealer and give me the lowest price."
Shopkeeper Lin's intuition told him that things were not as simple as Ye Chutang said, but he did not ask any more questions.
"Okay, where in the northwest should we send the herbs?"
Only when you know the exact location can you calculate the transportation costs.
Ye Chutang didn't know much about the northwest of Beichen Kingdom and didn't know anyone there, so he had to find Qi Yanzhou.
"I'll tell you tomorrow morning."
After saying this, she returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
Not long after, the old prince and Concubine Chen came to visit with priceless gifts.
Ye Jingchuan happened to be at home and received the guests together with Old Madam Ye.
When he learned that the two had come to propose marriage, he was overjoyed and agreed without a second thought.
"It is Chu'er's blessing to marry Prince Chen after several lifetimes of hard work, but Prince Chen's marriage must be decided by the emperor. I will go to the palace immediately and ask the emperor to grant the marriage!"
After saying this, he couldn't wait to see off the old prince and Concubine Chen, and rode into the palace at full speed.
When the emperor learned that Ye Chutang had completed her mission and was going to marry Qi Yanzhou, he laughed with joy.
"I will issue an edict to grant the marriage now!"
