Chapter 60
"Miss, what should I do?"
"The Queen Mother invites you to her birthday party, so we have to prepare a gift for the Queen Mother! We also have to buy you a set of clothes that you can wear out!"
On the way back, Grandma Li became worried when she thought of the fifty taels of silver that Ling Yu gave her.
The gift given to the Queen Mother must not be shabby, and the clothes the lady wears to the palace must not be shabby either!
This is all a big deal that costs money, but there are only ten days left before the Queen Mother’s birthday party, where can I get the money?
Ling Yu said disapprovingly: "Mommy, I just said something polite, why do you take it seriously!"
"Ah, are you being polite? This is impossible! How can the Queen Mother tell lies when she is so eloquent?" Grandma Li was stunned.
"I have never been invited to any banquets in the palace before! How could the Queen Mother make an exception!"
Ling Yu smiled faintly: "It's my duty to save people, and I don't want to get anything from her! Don't take it to heart, grandma... Just worry about it, wait until you actually see the invitation!"
After hearing what she said, Grandma Li gave up hope after thinking about the royal family's attitude towards Ling Yu and Ling Yue!
The four of them took Bi Haifeng's carriage back to Prince Yi's Mansion. Ling Yu asked Aunt Li to give Bi Haifeng ten taels of silver.
Bi Haifeng confiscated it and said directly: "Princess, I didn't send you here for the money, but because I feel sorry for the kitten. This child is smart and kind. As long as the princess treats him well in the future!"
Ling Yu blushed. It seemed that she was really too ridiculous before...
From now on, she will work hard to change everyone's impression of herself!
"I will! Thank you, Brother Bi!"
Ling Yue also bowed to Bi Haifeng sensibly and thanked Bi Haifeng.
After a night's rest, Ling Yu took Ling Yue, Ling Xin, and Grandma Li to the streets the next day. She also brought her own medicine for wounds, hoping to find a drug store to discuss making money.
When Grandma Li heard that Ling Yu wanted to sell medicine, she took her to the most famous Huichun Hall in the imperial capital.
But as soon as the four of them entered, Ling Yu talked about selling medicine, and the shopkeeper said impatiently.
"What kind of medicine can be as good as our Huichun Hall?"
"You are a woman who has studied medicine for several years and yet you dare to say that your medicine for wounds is the best!"
"Go, go, if you are sensible, just leave on your own...don't force me to ask someone to kick you out!"
When Ling Yu heard this, he pulled Ling Yue away without saying a word.
This snobby person rejected himself without even looking at his medicine. Let him regret it when his medicine becomes popular in the future!
"Miss......"
Aunt Li ran after her and said softly.
"This Hui Chun Tang is very famous in the Imperial City and has opened many branches! If the shopkeeper doesn't accept it... other branches won't accept it either!"
"I don't believe it. Apart from Huichun Tang, my medicine can't be sold! Let's find another pharmacy!"
Ling Yu confidently led them into the medicine shop, but when they entered several stores in a row, they saw that she was a woman and sent them away directly.
No one wanted to see Ling Yu's medicine.
Grandma Li was discouraged and said in frustration.
"Miss, if you are not famous, people will not ask for your medicine! Look, old slave, forget it! Let's think of other ways to make money!"
"You must be hungry. Let's find a place to eat first. After eating, grandma, you can take Yue Yue back first. Ling Xin and I will continue to look for it. I don't believe it. No one in this great emperor knows the goods!"
Ling Yu turned around and saw a Jixiang Restaurant next to her, and smiled.
"This name is auspicious, let's go here to eat! It's a good omen!"
As soon as Ling Yu finished speaking, Granny Li's face turned pale and she hurriedly stopped her.
"Miss, that's not possible. You have forgotten that this is the best restaurant in the imperial capital. A meal there costs at least several hundred taels of silver!"
"So expensive?" Ling Yu blinked, thinking about the lack of money.
The best restaurants must be very expensive. They only have fifty taels of silver in their pockets!
Ling Yu just wanted to give up.
A woman's sarcastic voice sounded from the side.
"Hey, isn't this Princess Yi?"
Ling Yu turned around and looked, and a name appeared in her memory... Shen Juan!
This is Xiao Lintian's cousin, the daughter of Concubine Yun's eldest brother.
Shen Juan has willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a slim and curvy figure.
She was wearing a pink dress and a pink gown of the same color embroidered with delicate dark patterns.
Her hair was tied up on top of her head, with a few strands hanging in braids on her chest, looking a bit naughty.
But the tone of his mouth was full of ridicule!
Ling Yu remembered that Shen Juan had always been in love with Xiao Lintian. Every time she came to Prince Yi's Mansion, she followed Xiao Lintian in and out, very attentively.
Ling Yu and Shen Juan had quarrels over this matter several times!
Shen Juan didn't deal with her either. Every time she saw her, she would ridicule her and grab anything she liked.
When Ling Yu saw it was her, she pulled Ling Yue around and left. She was in a good mood when she went out to eat, and she didn't want to spoil her mood because of this woman!
"What? You're here and you're leaving? Don't you have enough money to afford food?"
Shen Juan didn't let her go, and said sarcastically: "I heard that you borrowed a loan at a high interest rate and haven't paid it back yet! If you don't have any money, just hide at home and don't go out. Come out and embarrass my brother Lintian!"
Shen Juan was followed by several young ladies and best friends, and she laughed when she heard this.
Zeng Ziyu, the daughter of Zeng Shangshu, almost had a fight with Ling Yu over a dress. When she returned home, her father found out and scolded her.
She had always disliked Ling Yu. When she heard this, she mocked: "Shen Juan, you are the same. You know she can't afford it, so why do you say anything?"
"Such a person, let alone hiding at home, would have committed suicide long ago if it were me! It would be a shame to live in this world!"
Hearing such sarcastic words, those ladies laughed even more!
Among them, there was a woman who didn't smile, but stared at Ling Yu with a pair of resentful eyes. Her gnashing of teeth looked like Ling Yu owed her millions but hadn't paid back!
Ling Yu didn't notice the woman, but smiled at Zeng Ziyu and said.
"Suicide? You are the parents of your body and skin! Your mother was ten months pregnant and worked so hard to give birth to you. Is she seeking death just to make you suffer a little setback?"
"Haven't you heard a sentence? There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, or lie to me. How should I deal with them?"
"Just tolerate him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, wait for a few more years and watch him!"
Ling Yu smiled mockingly: "If you want to laugh at me, wait until you can look down on me!"
After Ling Yu finished speaking, she pulled Ling Yue, who puffed up her cheeks in anger, to leave.
Zeng Ziyu also studied. She thought about Ling Yu's words for a while before reacting, and her face turned pale with anger.
"Ling Yu, this bitch, dares to scold me!!"
