Chapter 29: Stop thinking and you will feel much easier

What Jiang Sisi meant by this sentence is: Next time you bully your sister, tell me, I want to see how you are tricked.

What Ye Jinshu heard: As long as you bully Ye Jinshu, Jiang Sisi can be brought into the palace.

Ye Jinshu was worried that he had no excuse to continue meeting Jiang Sisi, this is really great!
Jiang Sisi didn't know that she would become a frequent visitor to the palace just because she wanted to eat melons.

After the list of gifts was read out, the emperor and empress said a few simple words and the banquet began. The music troupe presented the emperor and empress with songs and dances that had been prepared early in the morning. Amid the music, Ye Jinshu and Jiang Sisi finally spoke a little louder.

Ye Jinshu told Jiang Sisi in detail the gossip that Xiao Cui had shared with her these days. After listening to it, Jiang Sisi combined it with the information from her side and reported back to Ye Jinshu with even more explosive news.

"Your concubine sister is quite capable. See the person in the third row to the right of the prince? That's my childhood sweetheart. She used to look for me all day long, but now she finds excuses to come to the palace no matter what, all to see your concubine sister."

Ye Jinshu then took a closer look. Oh! Isn't this the guy who always spoke up for Ye Ruoyan in previous lives and even asked to marry Ye Ruoyan?

"Is it the prince of some marquisate? The one who has fallen on hard times?"

Jiang Sisi was once again amused by Ye Jinshu's straightforwardness.

Nowadays, there are many emerging nobles and many declining nobles in the court. The Yonglin Marquis Mansion is one of the declining ones. The eldest son of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, Lin Shi, shoulders the responsibility of strengthening the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

Originally, the Jiang family and the Lin family had arranged a marriage for Jiang Sisi and Lin Shi since they were young, and they would get married when they reached age.

The Prime Minister chose the weak Hou Mansion to reassure the emperor.

The Hou Mansion also successfully climbed up to the powerful official and avoided decline.

Unfortunately, Lin Shi met Ye Ruoyan.

Now my heart is gradually no longer with Jiang Sisi.

Jiang Sisi was such a smart woman that she easily found out the reason for Lin Shi's change. She came to the Queen's birthday banquet today with the intention of taking a look at Ye Ruoyan.

Whether Ye Ruoyan was being entangled by Lin Shi and had no choice, or was deliberately seducing her with bad intentions, Jiang Sisi will take different actions after making a judgment.

As for Ye Jinshu, it was a pleasant surprise.

As Ye Ruoyan's elder sister, this princess was unexpectedly likable. Perhaps because she was not very smart, her emotions were written on her face. She seemed to like Ye Ruoyan very much and always smiled at her, which meant that she didn't have to worry about socializing.

Jiang Sisi thought about it and temporarily attributed the reason to the fact that she was the one who woke up the princess, which was why the princess liked her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Sisi felt that Ye Jinshu was naive. He was so open-hearted just because someone helped him. If he was approached by someone with bad intentions, he would be eaten up without leaving anything behind.

At this moment, Jiang Sisi had one more reason to observe Ye Ruoyan.

She had to help this simple princess find out whether her half-sister was in danger or not.

After three rounds of drinks, the imperial physician finally made a clear judgment on the condition of the ten dragon blood grasses presented by Ye Jinshu. After reporting to the emperor and empress, the empress signaled the imperial physician to announce the results in public.

Everyone present was waiting for the follow-up to Ye Jinshu's incident. Now that they saw the imperial physician come forward, they knew that the matter had come to a conclusion.

Today's birthday banquet was interesting. The imperial physician checked the gift list twice just to see if it was read out.

The imperial physician put the ten dragon blood grasses that Ye Jinshu had grown using rat blood together with the remaining dragon blood grass that Ye Ruoyan had.

Yes, it is Ye Ruoyan’s dragon blood grass.

When Ye Jinshu heard Ye Ruoyan's name, he was a little surprised but not too surprised. He even felt a sense of relief that what was supposed to come had finally come.

She said that this time, she and Ye Ruoyan would be linked together anyway, so they were put together. Although Ye Jinshu didn't understand why the palace was so big and couldn't produce a dragon blood grass, and why Ye Ruoyan didn't just use up the material when she used dragon blood grass to make medicine, but God must have his reasons for arranging it this way.

People will feel much more relaxed if they stop thinking about why.

For example, Ye Jinshu now.

"The princess's dragon blood grass is no different from ordinary dragon blood grass in terms of shape, quality and color. I think it can be used as medicine to test its efficacy."

The imperial physician's voice couldn't stop trembling when he said this. Dragon's blood grass is a universal enhancer. No matter where you are, you can use dragon's blood grass as long as you want to improve the efficacy of the medicine.

There are many high-year herbs needed for precious medicines, but now that we have dragon's blood grass, we can use low-year herbs instead.

However, due to the difficulty of cultivating dragon blood grass and its short storage time, it has not been possible to use it in large quantities.

Now, the dragon blood grass that Ye Jinshu accidentally planted with the mouse's heart blood was judged by the imperial physician to be no different in shape, quality and color from ordinary dragon blood grass. As long as the medicinal efficacy is confirmed, their country will be able to cultivate dragon blood grass in large quantities.

A large amount of dragon's blood grass will promote the development of medicine in their country, and selling it to other countries can drive economic development.

At once everyone thought of this possibility, and they all looked at Ye Jinshu with scrutiny.

Even though it was something that was done unintentionally, as long as the medicinal effect of dragon blood grass is confirmed, this princess should be more than just favored by the emperor and empress.

At the same time, Ye Ruoyan, who fed the 49-day dragon blood grass with her own blood, also became a joke.

During the banquet, many noble ladies looked at Ye Ruoyan with teasing eyes. Some even thought that Ye Jinshu had deliberately arranged for the imperial physician to say this in order to embarrass Ye Ruoyan.

After all, it was no secret that Princess Anping didn't like her half-sister.

After listening to the report from the imperial physician, the empress was still very happy and rewarded Ye Jinshu generously, even though the imperial physician had not yet confirmed the efficacy of the medicine.

Ye Jinshu was a little confused when he heard those familiar names of rewards.

Shouldn't these rewards be given to Ye Ruoyan?

How did you give it to her?

However, if you give it to her, she will accept it. If she doesn't accept the reward, she is a bastard.

Ye Jinshu happily accepted the reward, but Jiang Sisi noticed that Ye Ruoyan looked at the dragon blood grass in the imperial physician's hand and seemed to have something to say, but the atmosphere prevented her from speaking.

Jiang Sisi had a premonition that if she didn't let Ye Ruoyan speak at this time, she would be very upset, and then the one who would be unlucky would be the stupid princess next to her.

Jiang Sisi trusts her intuition very much. Unlike most people who think that intuition is just an illusion, Jiang Sisi regards intuition as an instinct that arises after she has become accustomed to being vigilant.

And instinct is never wrong.

"My Lady, your concubine sister seems to have something to say. I think it's better to say it now, otherwise something unexpected may happen."

Jiang Sisi did not explain the reason for her suggestion. She could not give a reason, after all, it was just her intuition.

However, even with such incoherent words, Jiang Sisi felt that the simple princess in front of her would listen, otherwise she would not want to help.

Sure enough, after hearing what Jiang Sisi said, Ye Jinshu didn't ask why. She nodded and said to the queen on the high platform: "Aunt, Ye Ruoyan seems to have something to say."
