Chapter 82: Encountering Prince Chen's Concubine Selection
The owner of Xinglintang is named Lin.
My ancestor was a famous barefoot doctor. After saving some money, he opened a medicine shop and also practiced medicine.
It was open for a hundred years and became the largest pharmacy in the capital.
Although the shopkeeper seldom sees patients, no one doubts his medical skills.
Because the diseases that the doctors on duty could not treat were finally handed over to the shopkeeper.
He said Ye Chutang's prescription could save people all over the world, and no one doubted it.
So, the two men who had questioned Ye Chutang before panicked and immediately apologized to her.
"Miss Ye, I'm a bad-mouthed person, but you are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with me."
"I'm just curious about why Miss Ye wrote the prescription. There's nothing else to it."
Ye Chutang raised her pink lips slightly, "Sorry, I won't go back on my word."
After that, she looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Can we chat?"
The shopkeeper nodded quickly, "Of course, of course, Miss Ye, please come in."
He led Ye Chutang into the inner hall and poured her a cup of tea.
"Miss Ye, how come you know so much about the plague and wrote so many good prescriptions?"
The girl is seventeen years old this year, and Beichen Kingdom has not had an outbreak of plague for twenty years.
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Ye Chutang started to talk nonsense.
"Medical practitioners save lives and heal the wounded. I want to save more people, and I have been studying various epidemics since I was a child."
Plague, smallpox, chickenpox and cholera were fatal diseases in ancient times.
But for people in the 23rd century, it can either be solved with a vaccination or be as simple as curing a cold.
The reason why she took out the prescription was to gain fame and to earn merit points.
The shopkeeper asked curiously, "Miss Ye, are you self-taught, or do you have a master?"
"I got some medical skills by chance, and I studied on my own because I was interested."
The shopkeeper was devastated after hearing this.
He also studied epidemics and used his ancestral medical skills, but he still had no clue.
"Miss Ye is truly a genius. Not only is she good at writing, she is also a great doctor."
Ye Chutang was not interested in listening to the shopkeeper praising her, so she went straight to the point.
"Boss, you know medicine, so you should be able to see the value of the prescription."
Of course the shopkeeper knew how rare these recipes were.
Although it has not been verified yet, just based on the medicinal ingredients in the prescription, he knows that the effect will not be bad.
"I wonder how much Miss Ye plans to sell these prescriptions for?"
"No money."
The shopkeeper thought he had heard wrongly.
"Wha…what?"
Isn't what Miss Ye meant by what she said just now that she wants money?
Ye Chutang spoke each word with emphasis, "I don't want money, I want fame."
"The Star of Literature descending to the earth" can win her the respect of the upper class, and "the living Guanyin" can win her the support of the people.
With both approaches, you can override the rules!
The shopkeeper understood what Ye Chutang meant.
As long as you have fame, profits will come to you.
Despite his young age, he is so far-sighted. He will definitely become a remarkable person in the future.
"Give me one day, and I will let everyone in the capital know that Miss Ye has a cure for the plague."
As the largest pharmacy in the capital, Xinglintang has countless people coming to buy medicine and see medical advice every day.
It's easy to send a message.
Ye Chutang picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Boss, I'll give you ten days to stock up on herbs. After ten days, I'll make the prescription public."
Manager Lin helped her become famous, so naturally she had to give him some benefits.
The shopkeeper added more tea to Ye Chutang's cup.
"Miss Ye, just give me five days. Although the plague hasn't happened yet, we should spread the prescription as soon as possible just in case."
Money has to be earned and people have to be saved.
"Okay, that's settled. Shopkeeper, you can get busy."
After leaving Xinglin Hall, Ye Chutang went to Dali Temple to find Qi Yanzhou.
He wanted his prescriptions for preventing and treating plague to spread to Jiangnan.
"Miss Ye, Shaoqing has returned to Prince Chen's Mansion."
"When will the prince return to the Dali Temple?"
"Shaoqing didn't say it. If Miss Ye has something urgent to ask Shaoqing, I can send her to Prince Chen's Mansion."
Ye Chutang agreed, thinking that the prescription could not be delayed.
"Okay, thank you."
In ancient times, the treatment for women was very strict. It was not convenient for her to go to Prince Chen's Palace alone, so it would be better for her to have someone to lead her.
The Dali Temple was not far from the Prince Chen's Mansion, and it took nearly two cups of tea to walk there.
Qi Yanzhou's men revealed Ye Chutang's identity to the doorman.
The doorman immediately said respectfully: "Miss Ye, the prince has instructed that if you come to the palace, there is no need to inform, please come in."
When the subordinate heard this, he said goodbye.
Ye Chutang guessed that Qi Yanzhou gave this order because of the music score of "Ten Sides of Ambush".
"Please lead the way."
The doorman led Ye Chutang directly to the inner courtyard of Prince Chen's Mansion.
Although the Chen Palace is large, it is not luxurious. It has a grand and spacious layout and is obviously the home of a military commander.
When they arrived at the entrance to the back garden, the doorman called the maid.
"This is Miss Ye, the prince's distinguished guest."
The maid looked at the stunningly beautiful Ye Chutang and thought about the girls in the pavilion, and misunderstood.
She bowed and saluted, "Miss Ye, please follow me."
"Thank you for your help."
Ye Chutang didn't think too much and followed the maid to the pavilion beside the lotus pond.
The pavilion was surrounded by light green gauze, and a light and ethereal voice could be heard.
"You are too kind, Concubine Chen. My daughter is just a mediocre student. I don't deserve the saying that a good father will have a good daughter."
The summer breeze blew the gauze curtain, and a woman in red tights flashed past Ye Chutang's eyes.
She felt something was wrong.
Just as he was about to ask, a delicate voice came from the pavilion again.
"I am not like Miss Rou. I know nothing about swordplay. I can only play a few tunes."
"I am even worse. The only thing I am good at is needlework."
"I heard that King Chen likes to play chess. I have practiced hard for two years and have made some progress."
The slightly proud voice fell into Ye Chutang's ears, making her certain of one thing.
The woman in the pavilion was invited by Concubine Chen to help Prince Chen choose a concubine.
The maidservant misunderstood that she was one of them, so she brought her here.
"that……"
As Ye Chutang opened his mouth, a male voice sounded at the same time.
"The prince has arrived."
The woman in the pavilion fell silent immediately.
The maid in the pavilion lifted the veil for Qi Yanzhou, "Your Highness, please."
Qi Yanzhou came to the pavilion from the inner courtyard, and was facing Ye Chutang who came from the outer courtyard.
But because of the veil, he did not see her.
Ye Chutang stared at Qi Yanzhou's figure, a little curious about which noble lady he would choose.
When the maid saw the prince coming, she immediately invited Ye Chutang into the pavilion.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Ye Chutang's slender fingers pressed on her lips.
A silent "hush".
The maid was dazzled by her beautiful face and nodded obediently.
Inside the pavilion.
Qi Yanzhou noticed someone outside the pavilion and looked over immediately.
Two blurry figures in goose yellow dresses were standing very close to each other.
He felt something was wrong and walked over quickly.
