"Husband, you've worked hard, come and have a meal. After dinner tonight, go to bed early, and go to town early tomorrow to sell the prey."

Hua Qinglu had just served the food. Tonight's meal was of course vegetable porridge, but with some corn added to it, it tasted a little better than before. The dish was a small bowl of simple mixed wild vegetables.

"Tomorrow we'll save some of the roe deer meat and chicken, and Qing'er said we can keep the little rabbit and raise it for a while.

And my lady, let me tell you, Qing'er is amazing. She actually found ginseng, and there are actually three of them!" Yu Qingshu said as he stretched out three fingers.

"Mom, look, this is ginseng. Go to the medicine shop tomorrow and sell two of them, and keep one for yourself. I guess you can exchange it for a lot of silver."

Seeing her father's excitement, Yu Qingqing promptly took out the things hidden in her arms and put them on the table.

"Third sister, you are so amazing that you even know ginseng. Thank you for your hard work, third sister. You run around outside every day for this family."

"Third sister, you are so awesome! That's great," after Yu Qingmei finished speaking, Yu Qingji also began to flatter her.

"Third sister, you are a great contributor to our family! I heard from people in the town that a hundred-year-old ginseng can be sold for several hundred taels of silver. I'm sure these ginsengs from your third sister can be sold for a lot of money! This feels like a dream."

Yu Qinghai also said this, looking at the ginseng in Yu Qingqing's hand with shining eyes.

After they finished eating, they all packed up and returned to their respective rooms. Yu Qingshu, Yu Qinghai, and Yu Qingji slept together tonight.

Yu Qingqing returned to the room and hurried into the space. Then she sorted out the vegetables in the space and put in the ginseng that she had thrown in before.

He also found a separate place, planted the ginseng, and watered the ginseng with some spiritual spring water. He then read some medical books in the space for a while, and after coming out, he gradually fell asleep.

Here in a small alley of a poor family, the man in black who went to the cliff to look for ginseng has also returned.

"Master, we found two ginsengs, but they are not old enough. We can use them first and then go to the medicine store to look for ginsengs that are two to three hundred years old. We can also use them together."

Yuan Yi knelt on the ground and reported to Yuan Xichen about his search for medicine.

Yuan Xichen didn't say anything. At this moment, he was lazily lying on a red sandalwood recliner. His narrow and long phoenix eyes suddenly opened, emitting a sharp light.

He was wearing a white crescent-shaped brocade robe and a jade crown inlaid with red jewels on his head.

Yuan Xichen glanced at Yuan Yi from the side, then waved his hand and asked them to leave.

Yuan Yi also retreated wisely, planning to use ginseng as medicine first and give it to His Royal Highness Prince Chen to suppress his internal injuries.

At the imperial court in the capital, all civil and military officials had arrived early.

Prime Minister Yang was even walking back and forth in the court, looking very anxious, and the other civil and military officials were also whispering.

Upon listening carefully, it turned out to be Emperor Yuanjia. He did not attend the morning court. This was the third day since he last came.

"I heard that Emperor Yuanjia recently got a new beauty. The beauty has skin as white as cream, delicate features, and a graceful figure. Even when she walks, she smells fragrant.

Such a beauty is hard for any man to resist." A lecherous official nearby was describing the scene vividly.

"That's right. Emperor Yuanjia hasn't come for three days. I heard that he stays with that beauty every night and sleeps until noon every day. He doesn't even come to court."

Lord Chen, the Minister of Official Affairs, couldn't help but say something as well.

"I recently heard that Yang Guifei's residence was such that one or two maids were dragged out every day. I don't know if Yang Guifei was angry with the emperor for having a new lover, and she took it out on the maids. It's really pitiful!

They were all born and raised by their parents, and they died just like that. Moreover, when His Majesty found out, not only did he not blame her, he also rewarded a few more palace maids and told the imperial concubine that she could do whatever she wanted with them.

Another voice was heard in the crowd, but there were too many people and no one knew who said it. The prince was listening quietly nearby. He knew too well what his father had done, so he simply turned a blind eye.

"The emperor hasn't come yet, Eunuch Cui, do you want to go and take a look?" At this time, Prime Minister Yang felt ashamed when listening to the comments in the court.

After all, Yang Guifei was his youngest and most beloved daughter, and the family benefited greatly from having a concubine.

If someone says something bad about his daughter, even if she did something wrong, he cannot bear to see her being talked about.

"My lords, please be careful with your words! His Majesty has not arrived yet, so you cannot listen to rumors or make random guesses. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can bear."

Prime Minister Yang felt that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to say something. If he let them continue talking, would he still have the face he wanted?

After a while, the crowd fell silent. Since the Prime Minister had said so, naturally no one dared to say anything else.

"If you have a petition, please report. If you don't, please leave the court!" A shrill, duck-like voice rang out over the court. An old eunuch holding a whisk appeared above.

"We obey your order!" All the officials bowed with both hands and began to disperse in an orderly manner.

"Your Highness, please stay. I have something to say." Prime Minister Yang saw that the prince was about to go back, so he stopped him in time.

"I wonder what the Prime Minister wants to do? Why are you stopping me?" The prince's name is Yuan Ying, and everyone calls him His Royal Highness Prince Ying.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that Your Majesty has not attended court for several days. I have recently received news that refugees are appearing in various continents and the weather is getting hotter.

This is not a good sign. I am worried that there will be a severe drought. I hope that His Royal Highness can talk to His Majesty about this, so as to avoid causing dissatisfaction among the people and instability in the court."

Prime Minister Yang spoke to the Crown Prince nervously, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"This is serious! You must not speak carelessly and cause panic." The prince was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"Your Highness Prince Ying, don't worry! I will never joke about this. The people are already suffering from the heavy taxes and levies, and I am worried that it will cause even greater unrest."

Prime Minister Yang expressed his concerns earnestly.

"I will report this matter to my father truthfully. Prime Minister Yang is very thoughtful." His Royal Highness Prince Ying smiled and walked away.

Thousands of miles away in Shuihe Village, Yu Qingqing was preparing to go to the town with Yu Qingshu.

This time they planned to go by ox cart. Yu Qingqing saw that many people in the village were also going to the town, including the hunters who had hunted with Yu Qingshu before, who were also taking their prey to the town.
