Chapter 26 Sending Dragon Blood Grass - Ten Plants

With Ji Yanqing's help, Ye Jinshu is like a fish getting a carriage or a fish getting a horse.

Originally, Ye Jinshu lived a very fulfilling life.

Reading storybooks, farming, exercising, exercising with the palace maids and eunuchs in Anping Palace, chatting about gossip with Xiao Cui, etc.

Now there is an additional important task to verify whether animal blood can feed dragon blood grass. He is even busier, but Ye Jinshu enjoys it.

Originally, Ji Yanqing only wrote storybooks and had little contact with Ye Jinshu, but recently, because he brought blood to Ye Jinshu every day, the two of them were able to chat with each other.

It took less than five days from the time Ji Yanqing took the initiative to ask Ye Jinshu about the growth of the dragon blood grass to the time Ye Jinshu began to unconsciously share the current growth situation with Ji Yanqing.

Every time Xiao Cui saw Ji Yanqing approaching Ye Jinshu, she instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what to do.

I felt helpless, as if the cabbages I had taken good care of were being coveted by a pig, but every time I tried to make a move, the pig would move away and pretend to be innocent.

Ye Jinshu was concentrating on giving different blood to the dragon blood grasses in different positions in front of him, and did not notice the bloody storm between Xiao Cui and Ji Yanqing.

Dragon's blood grass has great medicinal value and is basically a universal enhancer. No matter what medicine it is, as long as dragon's blood grass is added, the effect of the medicine can be maximized.

From the perspective of overall medicinal value, dragon blood grass is more valuable than thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.

After all, with dragon blood grass, even an ordinary hundred-year-old ginseng can be strengthened to have the effect of a thousand years.

It was less than two months until the Queen's birthday. Others were searching for treasures or preparing items of personal appreciation, but Ye Jinshu had simple ideas.

She is now farming every day, and it can be said that what she grows embodies everything she has!
She gave everything she had directly to the Queen!

Ye Jinshu didn't care whether such a gift could win the Queen's favor at the birthday banquet.

Anyway, Ye Ruoyan's popularity will not change no matter what she does. Ye Ruoyan always has other ways to gain appreciation.

She just needs to do what she wants to do.

Xiao Cui had no idea where she got the news from, and she huddled up next to Ye Jinshu and started chattering, "Princess, that concubine is also raising dragon blood grass, and has been using its blood to raise it for several days. She must want to show off on the Queen's birthday. She's really shameless."

Ye Jinshu wanted to laugh every time he heard Xiao Cui talking about Ye Ruoyan. He didn't know why, but every time Xiao Cui mentioned Ye Ruoyan, she would first talk about what Ye Ruoyan was doing and then end with a belittlement.

It can be seen that Xiao Cui really hates Ye Ruoyan.

Ji Yanqing is a man who knows the current situation very well. Every time Xiao Cui says something bad about someone, he will act as if he heard nothing and will not be curious about what Xiao Cui says, which makes Xiao Cui speak more unscrupulously in front of Ji Yanqing.

In fact, Ji Yanqing seemed to have no interest in these things on the surface, and in fact, he really had no interest in them.

In his view, the intrigues in the harem were just tricks to win favor, and none of these tricks was as practical as holding power in his own hands.

Instead of competing for favor, it is better to compete for power.

After hearing what Xiao Cui said, Ye Jinshu stared at the rat blood in front of him and smiled: "Why do you always stare at her?"

"I just can't stand her! She's always trying to steal the princess's things! Doesn't she have anything of her own?!"

After listening to this, Ye Jinshu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something and told the truth: "It seems that she really didn't."

Xiao Cui is about to cry.

Ji Yanqing smiled.

Ji Yanqing was glared at by Xiao Cui.

Seeing that the two men seemed to be about to fight because of her words, Ye Jinshu tried to make amends and said, "Don't think about it. We should just take a detour when we see injustice."

Now both of them laughed.

Ye Jinshu stayed in Anping Palace for another two months. During this time, except for the emperor and empress who came to visit her personally, she refused to see any other messy princes. As a result, rumors gradually spread in the palace that the princess was preparing a surprise gift for the empress in Anping Palace.

This was undoubtedly a trap set for Ye Jinshu. If the gift Ye Jinshu gave in the end was not so satisfactory, then no matter how highly Ye Jinshu was praised now, he would fall miserably.

Everyone in Anping Palace naturally knew about this rumor, but Ye Jinshu didn't care.

Don’t say that her gift is ordinary. Compared with Ye Ruoyan’s gift, everyone at the Queen’s Birthday Banquet will be in a state of disrespect. No one should look down on anyone else.

The time came to the forty-ninth day.

Something happened that surprised Ye Jinshu very much. The dragon blood grass watered with rat blood actually grew!

Ye Jinshu was stunned. She was actually a genius in farming!

Princess Anping was very happy that day, and Ji Yanqing was also laughing as she watched Ye Jinshu like this.

Because Ji Yanqing smiled so beautifully, Ye Jinshu warned him.

"You must stay close to Xiao Cui when you leave the palace, okay? Otherwise, you might be captured by someone in the palace and become her male concubine."

"How scary." Ji Yanqing said scary, but there was clearly a smile in his eyes when he looked at Ye Jinshu.

Time quickly came to the day of the Queen's birthday banquet.

All officials of the sixth rank and above in Beijing came to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

According to the rank of the official, men and women sat on the left and right sides from top to bottom.

The emperor and empress sat at the highest place.

Ye Jinshu got up early today and made a bowl of longevity noodles for the Queen with the cabbage she had grown herself, which made the Queen very happy. But this was private after all. At today's birthday banquets, the gifts from those who come to celebrate the birthday will be read out by the ceremonial officer.

The long and boring gift list made people drowsy, and then Ye Jinshu actually fell asleep for a while.

Until she heard a familiar voice saying familiar words: "Your Majesty, please be careful. This is really just a sachet that is good for your health. If you don't trust me, you can ask the imperial physician to check it."

Ye Jinshu sat up immediately. Tea party, what tea party?
A hand reached out at the right time and quickly lifted Ye Jinshu's head up: "Princess, don't sleep. There is no tea party here, only a birthday party, and your sister is in trouble."

As soon as Jiang Sisi finished speaking, everyone around who had just heard Ye Jinshu's words couldn't help but curl their lips, even the emperor who was not far above Ye Jinshu.

Only then did Ye Jinshu realize that the person who was holding her head and talking to her was actually Jiang Sisi, the woman she had been thinking about day and night!
Ye Jinshu was no longer sleepy in an instant.

When he looked up, things had progressed to the point where the sachet Ye Ruoyan had presented was being inspected.

Just like every time before, dragon blood grass was quickly found in Ye Ruoyan's sachet, and for a moment, the voices that had just been scolding Ye Ruoyan turned into praise.

Even the queen put the sachet on herself on the spot.

The next gift on the gift list is from Ye Jinshu.

"Princess Anping, I'll give you ten catties of water spinach, ten catties of cabbage, and ten catties of Ruyi vegetable..."

Every time the ceremonial officer read out a gift, the faces of the officials and their families present became stranger.

They had long heard that Princess Anping, who was very much favored in the palace, had changed her temperament due to the stimulation, but they had never expected that she would go crazy to this extent.

This is the Queen's birthday party. Even if Ye Jinshu doesn't want to spend time choosing a gift, she can just give something expensive. But now she is giving these things that are not presentable enough. Does she think she is favored too much?
Their thoughts ended when the ceremonial officer read out Ye Jinshu's last gift.

"Send me ten stalks of dragon blood grass—"

　Good afternoon, if you are reading this, I believe you and I are destined to be together. Why not treat me to afternoon tea and cherish this hard-earned fate!
