The little crown prince’s meals and snacks were carefully arranged by specialized people in the palace. He had never tried common snacks from outside the palace before.

The first sweet snack was ginger biscuit, a crunchy and sweet biscuit made primarily with ginger.

The crown prince picked up a ginger biscuit and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. He said softly, “Sister, let’s eat together.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and took it. “Thank you.”

The prince also offered one to the empress, “Mother, try this too. I’ve never seen it before, and I’m sure you haven’t either.”

Her childish voice was filled with concern. The empress felt happy. “If you like it, I’ll get someone to buy it for you in the future.”

The crown prince smiled at the empress, his eyes curved into crescents, looking exceptionally cute. “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at the little crown prince for a while and said, “Your Highness, I’m going back to the village tomorrow.”

All the way here, Li Fei had been telling her how much the little prince missed her, making her grow fonder of the young boy.

The prince turned his head, staring at Chu Qingzhi with a pout that seemed on the verge of tears, “Will you come back?”

Chu Qingzhi gently touched his head, ”1 will. When 1 return, I’ll come to see you, okay?”

The crown prince’s eyes were red like a helpless deer. “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Then I’m leaving.”

The crown prince nodded reluctantly. “Sister, can you bring me snacks next time you come to the palace?”

“Alright, I’ll buy you more then.”

“Yay.”

After Chu Qingzhi left, the little prince couldn’t hold back his tears, covering his eyes with his hands and weeping sorrowfully on the table.

The empress patted the little crown prince’s back tenderly. “Sister will come back in the future.”

The prince cried out in a sobbing voice, “Mother…”

The empress responded lovingly, “Be a good boy.”

General’s mansion.

Not long after Chu Qingzhi returned to the residence, Tang Jinghong also returned. “I heard that they gave you a lot of gifts.”

“Yes, I haven’t looked yet,” Chu Qingzhi said playfully, winking at Tang Jinghong, “Let’s check them out together.”

Everyone’s gifts were very precious. Nanny Han had been guarding there.

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong walked into the back hall and she quickly left.

Chu Qingzhi blocked Nanny Han’s path. “Nanny, wait.” If she didn’t win people’s hearts now, when would she?

Chu Qingzhi opened all the boxes. The value of the banknotes, jewelry, jade accessories, ginseng, deer antlers, lingzhi… was more than 500,000 taels.

She took out a pair of jade bracelets and placed them in Nanny Han’s hands. “Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. We’ll return to the village tomorrow…” She looked at Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong continued, “I’ll leave this place to you.”

Recognizing the value of the bracelets, which was worth over a thousand taels, Nanny Han was astounded. She was a little flattered. “Miss and General, I’ll take good care of the residence, but I can’t accept these.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Nanny, you’re one of us. Don’t stand on ceremony. Take it.”

Nanny Han held the jade bracelet tightly and was extremely touched. “Miss, General, thank you. I will definitely take good care of this mansion.” If nothing unexpected happened, she would be living in the general’s residence for the rest of her life. She would definitely take good care of this place.

“Good.”

Nanny Han left.

Chu Qingzhi placed all the gifts in a box, closed the box, and locked it. She also left a layer of spiritual energy on the box. Once someone touched this box, she would immediately know.

Tang Jinghong suddenly thought of something. “Do you want to take a look at the courtyard I bought for you?”

Chu Qingzhi almost forgot about this. “Is it far?”

“It’s not far…”

The courtyard was located on the edge of a wealthy district, the size of a quarter of the General’s mansion, complete with pavilions, rockery, and lakes – a luxurious estate.

Chu Qingzhi turned to Tang Jinghong, “This must be worth at least five hundred thousand taels, right?”

Tang Jinghong touched his nose. “A hundred thousand taels.”

Chu Qingzhi looked unconvinced. “How come it’s so cheap?”

Tang Jinghong leaned closer to Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “I did something for Lord Zhao, so he sold the courtyard to me at a low price.”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know what to say.

There were indeed many benefits to having a wide network.

“Is the deed here?”

“I’ll bring you to get it.” Tang Jinghong held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and walked into the inner courtyard.

The title deed was locked in the study. Tang Jinghong took out the key and opened the box. He took out the title deed and deed for Chu Qingzhi. “This is it.”

After Chu Qingzhi saw it, she couldn’t help but say, “We’ve made a killing.”

Tang Jinghong agreed. “Lord Zhao said the same thing when he gave me the deed.”

The location of the house was simply ideal.

Chu Qingzhi turned around and hugged Tang Jinghong’s neck, giving him a kiss. “Jinghong, thank you for buying me a house.”

Tang Jinghong smiled. “You’re welcome.”

After returning to the residence, Chu Qingzhi took out a banknote worth 100,000 taels of silver and gave it to Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong didn’t want it. “You don’t have to do this. Put away the banknote.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “This house is for Second Sister, not me. I have to give you the money.”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment. Anyway, this money would belong to Qingzhi in the future, so he took it. “Did Xujin and the rest buy gifts for the family? If they didn’t, let’s go buy them after eating?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I asked them to buy it three days ago. With Third Brother’s personality, he should have prepared well.”

Tang Jinghong nodded and led Chu Qingzhi to eat.

??

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang happened to come over during mealtime, so the four of them ate together.

Yuan Hongjun said, “Master, we will rush back to attend Brother Xuhua’s wedding.”

There were still three days before Chu Xuhua’s wedding. Chu Qingzhi said, “I’ll wait for you.”

As she spoke, Chu Qingzhi thought of something. “By the way, I think Yuru and Shiyu are quite good. Their personalities are also compatible with yours. Think about it.”

As expected, Qingzhi became a matchmaker for her disciples.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked at each other. They were quite shy and their ears were red. “Master…”

Chu Qingzhi looked at her two shy disciples and had the intention to tease them. “I saw almost all the noble ladies in the capital yesterday. The two of them are top-notch. If the two of you can marry them, I will be proud of you.”

Bao Linjiang couldn’t help but ask, “Master, aren’t our medical skills enough to make you proud of us?”
