"Sister Su, aren't you being too modest?"

Sun Youwei's eyes turned slightly, and she looked closely into Su Xuqing's eyes, "Could it be that Sister Su doesn't want to help me?"

A gentleman does not force others to do things against their will. Although Sun Youwei is a girl and not a gentleman, she has read a lot of articles by sages and has remembered all the principles she should understand. If Su Xuqing felt a little embarrassed, she would not mention the matter again.

However, Su Xu's clear and watery peach blossom eyes were filled with confusion.

"Ms. Sun, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really don't know how to help you... I was the one who bargained for the candied haws but ended up paying more."

Su Xuqing's words were not false. She really had no talent for business and couldn't even bargain well.

A few days ago, she took a break from her busy schedule and went to the street to buy a string of candied haws. The vendor asked for three copper coins a string. Su Xuqing thought about it and ran over to ask the vendor if he would sell it to her for three strings for ten copper coins.

The vendor was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed.

It was not until she returned home that Su Xuqing realized that she had lost a penny by praying.

Therefore, the moment Sun Youwei asked her for help with her business, Su Xuqing remembered this embarrassing incident and felt that it was ridiculous for Sun Youwei to ask her for help.

Seeing that Su Xuqing really didn't understand, Sun Youwei smiled and said, "It seems that Sister Su really doesn't know that she is living in a treasure mountain."

After hearing this, Su Xuqing was even more confused, "What do you mean?"

"Sister Su, what is the most important thing for a woman?"

Sun Youwei picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and waited for Su Xuqing's answer.

Su Xuqing said without hesitation: "Of course, marry a good husband."

"Cough cough."

Sun Youwei almost choked on her tea, and then said awkwardly, "Besides this?"

"Um……"

Su Xuqing pondered for a moment, stared at Sun Youwei's fair and attractive face and said, "Is it her appearance?"

Sun Youwei smiled and nodded, "Which woman in the world doesn't care about her appearance? That's why the rouge and powder business in the capital is the most prosperous and the competition is the most intense. But your body and hair are given by your parents, and rouge and powder can only be used to slightly modify them. But if you have freckles on your face..."

Sun Youwei stopped there, she felt that with Su Xuqing's intelligence, she would definitely be able to figure out what she was talking about.

"understood."

Su Xuqing suddenly opened her mouth and said with a smile, "So Miss Sun came to ask me for the medicine to remove freckles."

Sun Youwei looked expectant and said softly, "I have been investigating in the shops in the capital these days. I have heard women talking about how Sister Su can remove freckles from the children of officials. They are very envious of this, but because of the prominent family background of the Zhennan Palace, they are ordinary people and cannot use the plaster made by Sister Su. So I wonder if Sister Su is willing to sell the prescription to Youwei? In this way, Youwei will have the capital to enter the business world, and it can also benefit ordinary women in the world."

Hearing this, Su Xuqing fell into deep thought.

After Sun Youwei's reminder, Su Xuqing suddenly realized that the prescription he learned from Shennong's Herbal Classic might be something of inestimable value.

With her status and position in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, she would definitely never lack money in her life, so it seemed nothing to do a favor and sell the prescription to Sun Youwei.

And at this moment Su Xuqing suddenly remembered the previous conversation with Shen Xuanheng.

The Zhennan Palace is so powerful that it has frightened the emperor. Someone in the court is trying to purge the emperor and weaken the Zhennan Palace. Now Shen Xuanheng has entered the court to alert the enemy and try to find the mastermind. This move may be dangerous. Maybe one day, it is possible that there will be trouble within the court...

If she no longer has the support of the Zhennan Palace, how will she and Shen Xuanheng survive?

The moment this thought came to mind, Su Xuqing had the answer, which was to agree to Sun Youwei's request and make a huge profit.

Seeing Su Xuqing remained silent, Sun Youwei asked worriedly, "Sister Su, are you in trouble? If so, then I'll just pretend that Youwei never said anything..."

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, I'm willing to sell the prescription for..."

Before Su Xuqing finished speaking, her face suddenly changed and goose bumps appeared all over her body. She looked up and saw the weather changing rapidly outside, with thunder roaring, just like what happened that day when she tried to tell Shen Xuanheng about her rebirth.

Su Xuqing swallowed her saliva, feeling uneasy. She suddenly realized that the copy of Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica that she had seemed to have an extraordinary origin. Not only could no one except her see the words on it, but even attempting to leak the prescription would lead to unexpected events.

Could this book be the "Book of Heaven"?

When Su Xuqing thought of this, he felt awe in his heart and secretly decided not to tell anyone about the contents of "Shennong's Herbal Classic".

Sun Youwei was so frightened by the thunder that she covered her ears, then patted her chest and said, "Sister Su, what did you say just now?"

Su Xuqing thought for a moment and came up with a compromise. Since the prescription cannot be leaked, why not make the medicine and give it to Sun Youwei to sell?

After all, nothing unusual happened when the freckles were removed for the young princess and the eldest princess before.

"Miss Sun, how about this? I promised the person who taught me medicine not to disclose this prescription, but I can make the medicine into a finished product and give it to you to sell. The quantity will definitely be unsatisfactory, but you can use this as a gimmick to build your reputation and then squeeze into the business world in Beijing."

Sun Youwei's eyelashes trembled slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"That's fine, thank you Sister Su for your help."

"Miss Sun, you are too polite. I am not helping you for nothing. It's not like you won't pay me after you sell the medicine. Let's just consider it a win-win situation."

Sun Youwei covered her mouth and smiled, then slowly stood up.

"In that case, let's make it a deal. I'll go to the Zhennan Palace to discuss this with Sister Su another day. I'll go somewhere else first, or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's shoes will be worn out."

Su Xuqing didn't understand what he meant, so she looked around and found Shen Xuanheng walking outside the door, looking like he had nothing to do.

Su Xuqing couldn't help but laugh, and after Sun Youwei left, she waved from a distance.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Shen Xuanheng walked over slowly. Just as he was about to ask what they had said, the voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Queen is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and came to the center of the hall to pay their respects in an orderly manner.

"Congratulations to the Queen on her birthday. I wish her a long life and great fortune."

The queen was wearing a gorgeous red dress with golden threads flowing on it, shaped like a graceful phoenix. She wore a phoenix crown on her head and a bridal veil on her shoulders, and she looked noble.

Looking at her face, the lines are soft, and there is a hint of majesty in her gentleness. The years have left some traces on her face, but the charm of her youth can still be vaguely seen.

"Don't ever talk about living forever, everyone. If you live that long, you'll be nothing but a cuckold."

The queen made a joke and laughter broke out in the palace.
