wanted to see if your hand was hurt."Zong Yu smiled at her and retracted his fist."I'm fine."Since they found the person of renown, of course there was no need for them to continue wandering around in...Fang Jinshu nodded and immediately took out a white porcelain bottle from her bosom, handing it to Fu Ming.

"What is this again"

"This is also the kind of pill that can regulate your body and prolong life, found in the box," said Fang Jinshi.

"This bottle has a hundred in it. Seventh Prince, you can take it back to give to Your Majesty, or if you'd like to use them for something else, that's up to you."

Fu Ming was taken aback.

"What, what, one hundred"

Then why were there seven pills in the box given to his father, he even thought this kind of medicine was difficult to refine.

Is it love, isn't it

Fang Jinshu seemed to see through his thoughts.

"This medicine is simple for me. I've been in seclusion these many days, preparing medicinal herbs and tools to cure the Empress, so I just refined some along the way."

“Actually, if the palace could regularly consume our Jinxiu Vegetable Garden’s grains and vegetables, it would also achieve the effects of physical health and longevity. It's just as convenient as taking pills.”

The efficacy of pills is definitely better than just eating grains and vegetables.

After all, the concentration of spiritual spring water inside is higher, it's all extracted from the essence of the spiritual spring by Xiao Lv.

"So I will also prepare another dish for Your Highness, with all the ingredients sourced from our renowned Jade Pavilion."

"When you present it to His Majesty, be sure to mention the name of our farm."

Fu Ming now fully understood Fang Jinxiu's tactics.

"This plan is brilliant. It not only allowed me to make a stunning comeback at the birthday banquet, but also ensured that Father remembers the name 'Jinxiu Garden'."

He looked at Fang Jinshi, paused for a moment, and asked with narrowed eyes.

"Fang Jinshu, what are your intentions in doing this"

He didn't believe she was only doing this for the sake of the business of Jinxiu Garden.

"It's true, I'm not just in it for the business. I'm also in it for the fame."

Once His Majesty's birthday banquet is over, and word of the events at the banquet spreads among the common people, the reputation and status of Jinxiu Caizhuang will surely rise.

At that time, all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital will flock to us.

Fang Jinxiu paused, her smile suddenly changed, and her eyes became sharp.

"Never think of revenge while hiding under someone else's wings."

"I want to get justice for my mother-in-law in front of everyone."

Fu Ming frowned tightly, "You went to such great lengths to plan all this just to get your mother-in-law's justice from Zong Shilang"

"Lady Zong, if you can wholeheartedly assist me in achieving my great ambition, I will also grant you what you desire, including the title of top scholar for Zong Bai."

Fang Jinxiu let out a disdainful laugh.

"It's not that I don't believe in the Seventh Prince's abilities. I'm helping you today because what we need to do happens to align perfectly. After we succeed, we can each get what we want."

"This doesn't mean I want to stir up trouble in the palace."

Fu Ming's expression was rather complicated. She didn't want to get involved in the messy court affairs, and she hadn't already stirred things up.

And Zongyu was going to return to the capital soon, at that time she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water but she might have to.

Being in the imperial court, sometimes you are simply powerless.

I've received reliable information that the Xi Zhou army will be returning to their capital in half a month.

He deliberately glanced at Fang Jinshi's expression.

"Zongyu is coming back soon."

He didn't die on the battlefield. Not only did he not die, but he also made the first contribution to this war, personally beheading the marshal of the Wumeng army.

"Upon his return, the Emperor will surely reinstate Zongyu and bestow upon him a title at the very least of a Second Rank Marquis based on his military achievements."

"Congratulations, Zong girl! You'll be a Countess very soon."

Hearing the last sentence, Fang Jinshu's smile on her face instantly faded. Not only did she not feel particularly happy, but her expression grew increasingly grim.

Fu Ming was a little confused.

"What's wrong Shouldn't you be happy to hear your husband is returning triumphantly and being promoted"

He thought Fang Jinshu would be very happy to hear this news.

Doesn't she care much about her reputation

"Seventh Prince, since you have already obtained what you wanted, there is nothing else here. You may return now."

"The dishes I've prepared for the banquet tomorrow, ingredients are ready and the cooking steps are all laid out. You can just bring them back to the palace and find a trustworthy cook to make them."

"I don't feel well, so I won't see you off."

Fang Jinshu blackened her face and issued an order to Fu Ming to leave, before she even left herself.

They were leaving in a hurry.

Fu Ming called out behind her, but she didn't react.ng for the imperial examinations, right"As for Zong Bai's studies, she had a plan in mind long ago. Besides, with Zong Bai's intelligence, even without Fu Ming finding him a good tutor, he would surel...
