After Bai Ling received the invitation, he asked Haitang to prepare a birthday gift, but he didn't take the banquet seriously.

Although the Xiao family is an aristocratic family, what Mrs. Xiao did before, even if Bai Ling goes to the Xiao Mansion as a guest, these rumors will be remembered by people, which is not good for Bai Ling.

But after receiving the invitation, regardless of Xiao Muqing's performance at the palace banquet, or his slight involvement with Concubine Xiao, Bai Ling could not refuse to attend the banquet.

"Girl, Mrs. Hubu Shangshu sent a message to ask for a meeting. It seems that there is something urgent." After Haitang received the little girl's message, she said to Bai Ling: "This Mrs. Hubu Shangshu is the queen's cousin two rooms away.

My grandfather is the crown prince."

Bai Ling raised his eyebrows. There were in-laws everywhere in the capital. It was not unusual for these dignitaries to have some kind of relationship with each other.

"Is it from the prince's faction?" Bai Ling was a little bored when it came to factions.

"Yes." Haitang nodded.

"Please come in." Bai Ling said calmly and tapped the table with his fingers.

The prince is mediocre, but he is a direct descendant and his wife is capable, so the prince's position is considered safe.

There are many advisers in the prince's palace, and due to the conspiracy and tricks, the prince did not lose too much to the other princes.

The Han Palace has a large number of troops and has an unshakable position in the court. The prince also wants to win over him, but the Han Palace has always remained neutral, and the prince does not dare to offend him if he cannot win over him.

No one knows that Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu are in love, but Bai Ling often goes to the Han Palace to treat Princess Yayang, and the Han Palace treats Princess Yayang...

Rubbing his eyebrows, Bai Ling said tiredly: "Let people keep an eye on the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance to avoid being taken advantage of."

"My servant heard that Lord Shangshu's father, Lao Ge, who has retired as an official, is ill. Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance came here. She should have asked the girl for treatment," Haitang said.

When she was in the mansion, Haitang always called Bai Ling girl, not master.

"It's time for the medical center to come up with some new medicines. Otherwise, if I stay in the capital, I will become a doctor who visits homes." Bai Ling frowned.

Ordinary people would naturally not be able to ask Bai Ling to come here, but there were too many officials and nobles. Bai Ling, a princess with no backer, would not be able to refuse if someone really came to invite her.

But the capital city is a big dyeing vat. Not to mention the intrigues between factions, there are also a lot of dirty things happening in the backyards of various houses, and Bai Ling doesn't want to get involved.

While the master and servant were talking, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue had already entered.

Bai Ling's status did not require him to salute, but he was a junior after all, so he still stood up and took a few steps to greet him.

"I don't know that Mrs. Shangshu is here to visit, but the palace is not prepared. Please forgive me." Bai Ling smiled politely and politely.

"It's my wife who was abrupt. I hope the princess won't blame her." Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue is nearly forty years old, and she doesn't look old if she takes good care of herself.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, Bai Ling ordered the maid to serve tea, and then got down to business.

"My father-in-law has been feeling unwell recently. He has seen several doctors but he has not recovered. The imperial doctor has no solution, so he has to come to disturb the princess. Hearing that the princess has superb medical skills, he also asked the princess to come and treat him. The minister said

I will thank you deeply." Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue said sincerely.

Bai Ling no longer has a backer, but she is also the princess, otherwise Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue would never come to invite her in person.

Even though she came, Mrs. Hu Bu Shangshu was not necessarily too polite. It was just a routine matter and she didn't take Bai Ling seriously.

"I would also like to ask Madam to inform you of Sir's situation. If I am confident of the cure, I will go with Madam. If I am not sure, I can only say sorry. Although as a doctor, I should not do this, but

After all, this princess is a woman who has not yet left the imperial court, so it is always inconvenient." Bai Ling's tone was a little calmer.

Doctors are truly benevolent, but there is no need to make things difficult for themselves.

The father of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance once paid homage to the elder, and the emperor would give some rewards every year on his birthday to show his sympathy for the elder.

The establishment of the Shangshu Mansion is inseparable from Lao Ge Lao's face. Otherwise, given the ability of the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, being a minister is just a compliment.

Mrs. Li, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, did not expect Bai Ling to be so disrespectful, so she felt a little more angry and her face darkened.

"Does the Princess look down on the Minister's Mansion? Nowadays in the capital, who doesn't know that the Princess has superb medical skills? My father-in-law is seriously ill, and I personally came to invite the Princess out of filial piety. Is the Princess really so unkind?

"Mrs. Li asked coldly.

Bai Ling smiled lightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "If someone in Shangshu Mansion is poisoned, or his limbs are broken, I will not ignore the situation and will do my best. This is also the type of treatment I am good at.

But if people eat all kinds of grains, they will inevitably suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. Even though I am a doctor from Yaowang Valley, I am not a god who can bring the dead back to life. My wife's filial piety is commendable, and I am also touched, but I cannot overestimate my own abilities."

"The princess has never gone to see her, how can she know what's wrong with her husband? Since the princess refuses to go, I can't force myself to disturb the princess." Mrs. Li got up angrily.

Haitang's whole body was exuding air-conditioning. If she wasn't afraid of causing trouble to her master, she would have wanted to throw him out.

Bai Ling's eyes were a bit colder, and he half-closed his eyes and said: "I have already heard about Mr. Li Ge's situation. If Madam wants to fulfill her filial piety, I have a way to make Mr. Li Ge

The situation has eased. It’s just..."

"Just what? Princess, you might as well say it bluntly. Although the Shangshu Mansion has lost its glory when my father was in court, it is still willing to spend all the family wealth for the sake of my father's health." Mrs. Li held back her anger and sat back down.

"Please wait a moment, madam." Bai Ling got up and walked to the back room. He waited for a while before coming out with a stick of incense. He had an exquisite red sandalwood box in his hand.

Mrs. Li thought it was a panacea, but after seeing Bai Ling open the red sandalwood box, her expectations turned into disappointment.

The jade that Bai Ling took out was conceived in space, so it was of the highest quality, but Mrs. Li had no intention of doing so.

"Is the princess playing tricks on me? Even if this is the best jade, what does it have to do with saving the family?" Mrs. Li could no longer hold back any longer and asked through gritted teeth.

"This is a secret recipe made by my princess. It is used to warm and nourish jade. It is suitable for the elderly and infirm. It will take effect in less than a month. Although the effect is slower, it will not damage the root essence."

Bai Ling didn't care about Mrs. Li's attitude and put the jade on the table.

Slender fingertips crossed the red sandalwood box, and Bai Ling said indifferently: "If it weren't for the fact that Madam is sincerely filial to her elders, this princess would definitely not take out this piece of jade. You must know that a high-quality jade is rare, and to

Warming and cultivating a piece of jade requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but only three to four times out of ten can be successful.

Mrs. Li looked at the red sandalwood box suspiciously and did not answer, as if she was considering whether to believe Bai Ling.

The jade shop under Xiao Mu's name also claims to be able to warm and nourish the human body. A medium-sized jade stone can be sold for several thousand taels of silver, but it still needs to be worn for a long time to see the effect.

But the jade that Bai Ling took out was a rare and top-quality jade, and Mrs. Li was a little hesitant.

"Madam, you can take the jade. If Mr. Li Ge's health does not improve after a month, it will be a souvenir for the princess to visit Mr. Li. If Mr. Li Ge improves, Madam will pay for the jade again.
