Chapter 64 Gift from the Emperor
  Since Shen Zhuoxi regained consciousness, he has not only good medical skills, but also a sharp tongue. Now he is actually helping the Youxiang Mansion?
  The right minister's wife has a sister who is the empress in the palace, and Shen Zhuoxi has a queen mother behind her. How can this continue?
  Yu Qinglian secretly exerted her strength, tightly held the handkerchief in her hand, and glanced at Shen Xinyu.
  Shen Xinyu more or less understood the connection between mother and son. She smiled and said, "Second sister is becoming more and more different. She can also help the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why didn't I hear you mention her before?"
  "You're just a little busy, why do you still publicize it everywhere?" Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, it's not a big deal."
  "Ha, if you weren't so busy, how could You Xiangfu give you so many things?" Shen Jingya stretched her neck, wanting to open all the brocade boxes and take a look: "What did you give me?"
  Shen Zhuoxi found it funny to see her like that: "Dragonfly, the third lady is curious, open it and take a look."
  "What am I curious about?" Shen Jingya sneered coldly and said, "Uncle has a lot of money, but I haven't seen anything since I was a child?"
  Are you really not curious, why are you acting like this now?
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't specify anything, and just told Dragonfly to continue opening it.
  There are seven or eight brocade boxes in total, none of them are big. They are just gold and silver jewelry, rouge and gouache that girls like.
  Everyone glanced at it and were attracted by the most beautiful brocade box - it contained a gold hairpin with colored pearls and gemstones.
  Pearls other than white are rare, not to mention pink, gold, silver, rose, light blue, amber, lavender, and black, each one is valuable.
  The same goes for the gemstone inlaid in the middle. It is a pure and clear aquamarine gemstone without any impurities. It is so pure and clean that it is almost transparent. Not to mention Yu Qinglian, even the old lady has never seen it.
  Eight pearls of different colors surround the blue gemstone in the middle, reflecting different lights and shining brightly under the candlelight.
  Just this hairpin is worth a thousand taels of gold!
  No one said anything. You looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, Shen Jingya, a naive person, pretended to be disdainful and said, "Tsk, what do you think you are talking about?"
  "It's just these junk things, so I can show them off."
  "Do you know what will happen if your words spread?" Shen Zhuo stared at her with a sly smile and said, "On weekdays, if you have nothing to do, read more and think less about how to tease people."
  "Nanyang is rich in pearls, and only Nanyang can have such a variety of colors. The hairpin is a treasure presented to the emperor from Nanyang. The emperor gave it to the right prime minister in gratitude for his contribution to the country."
  "How dare you say that the thing given by the emperor is a rag?"
  Shen Jingya didn't expect that a small hairpin was actually a gift from the emperor. She didn't know what to say, she pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at Yu Qinglian.
  Yu Qinglian was also surprised.
  Nanyang pays tribute to a lot of things every year, but she doesn't know what they offer. It's just that the emperor gave it to the right prime minister. How could the right prime minister take it out and give it to Shen Zhuoxi?
  She tried to smooth things over and said tentatively: "Jingya is not sensible. Second lady, don't argue with her. How could she have thought of such an extraordinary gift from the emperor that the right minister would be willing to give it to you?"
  "Who says it's not?" Shen Zhuoxi smiled, picked up the gold hairpin with colored pearls and gems, looked at it, and said, "I declined at first. I can't accept such a valuable thing at will."
  "But the right minister is stubborn and can't refuse his kindness, so I can only bring it back and offer it properly."
  Shen Heshan had really seen the hairpin. When the right prime minister proposed a plan to subdue the rebel party, he had merit. This was among the things the emperor gave him.
  What he was struggling with was not the hairpin, but something else: "What exactly did you help him with?"
  "It can't be said that I helped Mr. Right Prime Minister, but I accidentally saved Young Master Zhang's life." Shen Zhuoxi paused, looked into Shen Heshan's eyes, and said, "Speaking of which, I also want to thank my mother."
  "She loved medical skills and left behind many books. It was through her talent that I could have this opportunity."
  Medical skills again?
  Everyone looked at each other again, with shock and suspicion in each other's eyes - saying that the medical book left by Princess Xiaoqing could be mistakenly used to cure the old lady's summer fever, it was barely acceptable.
  But the eldest son of the Youxiang Mansion is a sick man. Just like Shen Zhuoxi in the past, so many imperial doctors are helpless and can only take medicine to save their lives and live one day longer.
  With Shen Zhuoxi's three-legged cat medical skills, can he save Young Master Zhang?
  Yu Qinglian became even more suspicious: "Are you mistaken? Is he the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Palace?"
  "The eldest lady is deaf and has poor eyesight?" Shen Zhuoxi pointed to the brocade box on the table and said, "If I hadn't saved the eldest son, how could the Right Prime Minister's Mansion have given me so many things?"
  Yu Qinglian said directly: "Diagnosing the pulse cannot be mastered overnight. The eldest young master has always been sick. How can you save him at will?"
  "What a talent. Maybe it's my mother's blessing in heaven who wants me to fulfill her wish." Shen Zhuoxi raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems I have to repair the Xiaoxiang Tower quickly and enshrine my mother's spiritual tablet."
  "You guys sit down first, and I'll go in first. These things need to be packed away."
  As soon as she left, the others dispersed silently.
  Shen Heshan didn't care much about these things, as long as the people in his family didn't go out to cause trouble, bring discredit to the Grand Master's Palace, or affect the majesty and innocence of his Grand Master.
  Except for the old lady, the rest followed Yu Qinglian to Bihe Garden.
  Shen Jingya lost her composure after entering the door and said impatiently: "Mother, look at Shen Zhuoxi, her tail is almost raised to the sky. Also, are her medical skills reliable? Could it be a trick to deceive us? ?”
  Yu Qinglian said nothing, but Shen Xinjiao was thinking about another thing: "Let's not talk about anything else. Grandma's words are all about letting us swallow the humiliation of our servant."
  "Now that she has climbed into the Grand Master's Mansion again, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to do it again."
  Their masters are here, and their confidants are still in the toilet of Qingfeng Building!
  If outsiders knew about this, would they still want their faces?
  "Yes, she has been really lucky recently." Shen Jingya could not hide her jealousy: "Is it true that Princess Xiaoqing is blessed by the spirit of heaven?"
  Speaking of Princess Xiaoqing, Yu Qinglian finally reacted. She was not as warm as usual in front of outsiders, and her face was full of gloom: "Xiaoqing's medical skills are shallow, how can Shen Zhuoxi's medical skills be so good?"
  "It has only been a few days since she woke up from being stupid. There must be something wrong with this matter. Aunt Hua, ask someone to deliver a letter to my brother and investigate!"
  After calling out, she realized that Aunt Hua and several other maids were still cleaning Shen Zhuoxi's toilet. She felt even more irritated and said, "I will investigate this matter carefully."
  "It's getting late, so you should disperse early and rest."
  Shen Jingya and Shen Xinjiao left first. Shen Xinyu deliberately dilly-dallyed and stayed behind and said to Yu Qinglian: "Mom, I really can't keep her. How about hinting at Shen Jingya to take action?"
  "You have to endure it." Yu Qinglian suppressed the anger in her heart and said: "Stir up the fire between the two of them!"
  Shen Xinyu understood what she meant and said, "His Royal Highness has something to do tonight and cannot keep the appointment. I will bring them all with me tomorrow!"
  "Let's just bring Shen Jingya to set you off. Why bring Shen Zhuoxi?" Yu Qinglian said in an impatient tone, "You still think she is not dazzling enough now?"
