Everyone craned their necks to look.

Inside the box, half were ginseng and the other half were all lingzhi mushrooms.

In such a large box, there were roughly over a hundred ginseng roots.

The quality of the items was top-notch.

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

For their families, ginseng wasn’t a rare item, but such good quality and quantity were not common.

Madam Jiang laughed, “So many ginseng roots of the same size, it’s indeed very rare. Even I haven’t seen it before, let alone these younger ones.”

“Where did you get them?” Lin Zizi asked her daughter.

Jiang Ning laughed, “I rummaged through the Crown Prince’s storeroom and bought some from others, barely making up a box.”

At that moment, Li Hongyuan, far away in the Imperial Palace, suddenly sneezed.

Li Xiu attentively offered a cloak.

“What time is it?” Li Hongyuan asked.

“Your Highness, it’s just noon now.”

“Oh, yes, what did the Princess Consort say she would do yesterday when she asked for the storeroom key?”

“The Princess Consort said that she was going to her mother’s home to celebrate Madam Jiang’s birthday. She felt embarrassed not to have any decent gifts and wanted to borrow some from the Crown Prince.”

Li Hongyuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He calmly asked, “What did she take?”

“She said she took some medicinal materials for Madam Jiang to maintain her health.”

Just then, the Emperor suddenly rushed in angrily. Seeing Li Hongyuan, he scolded, “Your wife is a spendthrift!”

Li Hongyuan stood up, “Emperor Father, please calm down.”

“This is robbery! She said she wanted to buy some ginseng for her mother, but she didn’t pay for it! The good ginseng in the palace storeroom was all taken away by her!” The Emperor was furious. “Just now, Concubine Yu sent someone to ask for some ginseng as she’s about to give birth. Only then did I find out that Jiang Ning had taken all the ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms, and bird’s nests from the palace!”

Li Hongyuan remained silent.

The Emperor said, “I remember that last time, Governor of Yunan had brought some blood ginseng when he visited. I had rewarded you with some of it. Do you still have them? Send them to Concubine Yu.”

Li Hongyuan was silent.

Finally, he knew what Jiang Ning had taken away from his storeroom.

The Emperor glared at him, “What are you waiting for?”

Li Hongyuan said, “Emperor Father, those blood ginseng… are gone.”

“Where did they go?”

“The Princess Consort took them to give to Madam Jiang.” Li Hongyuan tentatively asked, “Shall I ride a fast horse to the Jiang Family and take the blood ginseng back?”

This time, it was the Emperor who was silent.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Take back the gifts given to Lin Zizi?

Let alone Concubine Yu giving birth, even if he were giving birth himself, that would not work.

“Well, never mind, there’s always more ginseng to be found… The Princess Consort should show her filial piety to her parents when she visits.” The Emperor shook his head and turned to leave.

In the backyard of the Jiang Family, Jiang Ning was enthusiastically dividing the blood ginseng from the box to her aunt.

“This is good stuff for nourishing the body and blood. It’s most suitable for beautiful and noble ladies like my aunt and mother.” Jiang Ning spoke eloquently, making her elders feel delighted.

“She really knows how to flatter.” Jiang Yuan muttered under her breath.

Jiang Ning looked at her, smiled, and said, “I haven’t congratulated Fifth Sister yet.”

In half a month, it would be the day of Jiang Yuan’s wedding.

Jiang Yuan blushed and turned her head away.

She had always been proud and aloof, but now that she was marrying a concubine-born son, she couldn’t help but feel upset.

But given her status as a concubine-born daughter, it would be difficult to arrange this marriage without the support of the Jiang Family and the Princess Consort.
