From beginning to end, Emperor Hongzhi and civil and military officials never said a word off topic. As for the prince's recovery or the flood of the Yellow River, no one mentioned it. The banquet seemed formal and rigid, without any human touch.

However, it is a great honor for all civil and military officials to enter the palace for a banquet, especially the Qingshui yamen like the Hanlin Academy, which is full of sesame officials, was transferred to the Sixth Ministry or the Temple Department and other departments. Unless they reach a high position, they will never have the chance to attend such occasions again.

The attendants of Honglu Temple packed the food and tableware from the banquet, Chen Xi and Zhu Xizhou each received a portion, and then walked out of the palace with their bags.

It is somewhat indecent to say that a bunch of ministers came out of the palace with a bunch of money, but fortunately, the ministers basically brought their entourages, and there were naturally people who responded to the palace gate. It was just a pity that Chen Xi, who was not of high official status and had no sedan chairmen or entourage, not only had to carry their own bags, but also walked home from afar.

Before he arrived at the gate of the palace, a Jinyiwei suddenly came over and asked Chen Xi respectfully: "Is this Chen Xiu?"

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, turned around and found that someone seemed to be chasing him. Because the light was too dark, he couldn't see who the visitor was. He nodded quickly, and was invited by the Jinyiwei. When he got closer, he realized that it was Xie Qian.

"For you."

Xie Qian handed over a roll of framed characters in his hand, "Be careful to keep the words given by Your Majesty. If the soup is dirty, be careful of your head."

Chen Xi didn't feel very scared when the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet said the intimidating words without any concealment. This was a treasure given by the emperor, and it was priceless!

I just don’t know what words Emperor Hongzhi gave.

Xie Qian didn't say anything clearly, and turned to the palace. There should be a meeting that was about to be held overnight, which was likely to involve issues such as floods in the Yellow River and exam sales cases.

Chen Xi came to the palace gate, and Zhu Xizhou and Wang Zan were still waiting for him. Seeing that he was holding a picture of words in his hand, he couldn't help but ask, "What's this?"

Chen Xi shook his head and said that he was inexplicable. Zhu and Wang looked at each other without any force, saying goodbye to the palace gate and went home.

However, Chen Xi drank a few glasses of wine, and he felt a little dizzy all the way. The main reason was that he didn't drink much, so he drank with His Majesty in the palace, even if he didn't fill up every time. But after all, the wine cups he used were much larger than the glasses he used on weekdays, and he had to drink them all at once.

It’s not that Chen Xi insisted on showing off his strength, but Zhu Xizhou and others were watching him next to him. If he blatantly spilled the wine given by the emperor, he would definitely attract criticism.

Even as a Hanlin, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts.

Chen Xi, based on the principle that he must not be wary of others, is unwilling to be honest with others, and even if he insists on enduring, he must drink the wine.

There was nothing in the palace. Perhaps the alcohol had a lot of momentum, so I walked along East Chang'an Street and Pailou Street towards my home. Chen Xi was confused and could hardly tell the way home.

Especially when I arrived near the entrance of the alley, Chen Xi always felt that the alleys around were almost the same, and which alley was the correct way home. Some of them were not sure.

Fortunately, the woman at home was thinking about him, so Xie Yuner sent Zhu Shan to wait for the entrance of the alley with a lantern. Zhu Shan herself was also a nerd and dared not walk too far. Sitting at the entrance of the alley, she felt lost when she heard the footsteps of Chen Xi, she shouted in surprise: "Young Master, is it you?"

"It's me, come and help." Chen Xi was so tired that he couldn't walk anymore.

The bag he was carrying didn't look big, but the beef, sheep, fish and pastries inside were wrapped in oil sacks. In addition, the soup was filled with a sheepskin water bag, and the ceramic tableware and silver chopsticks weighed five or six pounds. In addition, he was holding the imperial treasures in his hand, and he didn't dare to take off the bags in the middle to rest, for fear of falling into pieces, or the soup overflowed to dye the imperial treasures in his body, so he could only force himself to hold on. Walking along the way, he almost exhausted him to death.

Zhu Shan helped Chen Xi take the bag over and looked at it curiously: "Young Master, what is inside?"

Chen Xidao: "What I ate... I haven't eaten the meal given by the emperor before?"

Zhu Shan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this. The food that the emperor was eating was not to mention that it was a peerless delicacy that only gods could eat. On the way back, Zhu Shan didn't even bother to support Chen Xi. He held a lantern in one hand and a bag in the other. He shouted at the door of the house, and Xiu'er and Ning'er came out to open the door at the same time.

"You still know to come back!"

Lin Dai came out to greet her, but she was not as good-tempered as Xie Yuner, and her little mouth was almost pouting to the sky.

Xie Yuner said: "You are going to the palace to attend the imperial banquet and you are not allowed to talk nonsense."

Chen Xi didn't understand for a moment when he was promoted to "master"? But it was natural to hear Xie Yuner's call, and it seemed like this should be. Chen Xi walked in confused and saw a woman surrounding the bag he brought back. Obviously, after Zhu Shan said that this was food given by the emperor, everyone's eyes were shining.

Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Open it and try it. The things at the palace banquet were said to be brought back by Huicu. Zhu Xiu, who was my deskmate, didn't eat much... If you dislike it, throw it away."

Xie Yuner said angrily: "How can people usually eat the food in the palace? Not to mention that it is not dirty, we will eat it even if it is dirty."

Zhu Shan was already drooling with greed. He heard this and said, "Yes, yes, young grandma, let's open it and eat. The young master should be full."

Lin Dai heard Zhu Shan call Xie Yuner the young grandmother, but always regarded her as a "maid". She felt a little angry and glared at Zhu Shan fiercely.

At this time, Xie Yuner first went to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water. Chen Xi wiped her face clean with a hot towel, and then told me: "Dai'er, help me serve a bowl of rice, and I'll just drink this night."

"I'd better go, Dai'er, stay and eat with them." While Chen Xi was washing his face, Xie Yun'er had already opened the bag. She first took out the ceramic dishes and silver chopsticks inside, then opened the oil sac, arranged the meat and pastries inside one by one, and then went to the kitchen after it was sorted out.

Chen Xi returned to the room.

Soon, Xie Yuner had already brought the food to him. I have to say that Xie Yuner was a good master in the host. Since she came to Beijing, some jars of jars, vegetables, radish and other kimchi have been added beside the large water tank in the kitchen. They are both refreshing and rice-filled, which is very suitable for Chen Xi's appetite.

With Xie Yuner here, the quality of the food at home is much higher than before. Xie Yuner is a virtuous assistant who cultivates both inside and outside. Chen Xi is already reluctant to let go of Xie Yuner and go out.

When Xie Yuner put the bowls and chopsticks in her mouth, she said respectfully to Chen Xi: "Master, it's time to eat."

"Don't call me master, it sounds awkward."

Chen Xi said, sat down at the table, took out the imperial treasures, and opened the scroll in Xie Yuner's puzzled gaze.

The words given by the emperor are not complicated, there are only four vigorous regular script characters, which read "Salvation of the world as your heart", which is a very high praise for the doctor.

The characters written by Emperor Hongzhi are just the norm. As far as calligraphy is concerned, this character is not a good product, but it is worth the seal below. It is the "treasure of fortune" of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi knew this seal a little bit, knowing that it was the most widely used seal by emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and inscriptions given to ministers or loyal ministers and good generals would be used. If history has not changed, Emperor Hongzhi's seal would be burned in the Zhengde period with the seventeen treasures in the early Ming Dynasty until the eighteenth year of Jiajing. It was increased from the "seventeen treasures" in the early Ming Dynasty to the "twenty-four treasures".

"What...is this?"

Although Xie Yuner was not sure what Chen Xi brought back, she was vaguely speculated, so she even trembled in her voice.

Chen Xi felt a little hurt after drinking, and held his forehead with his hand and said, "Your Majesty's imperial treasure. To be precise, it was your Majesty who gave you to the Xie family."

Although Xie Yuner tried her best to endure it, her tears couldn't help but fall, and her voice choked: "You...Mo Yan laughed. How could this be Your Majesty's Mo Treasure..."

I said I didn't believe it, but in fact, I looked at the words carefully, as if I wanted to see each word carefully.

"You are too proud of me. Even if I have the courage to forge the emperor's handwritten letter... Look, what is this? The jade seal is used! Forging this thing will cause the family to be confiscated and destroyed!"

Chen Xi said, picking up the bowl, "If Master Xie had not given it to me personally, I wouldn't believe that His Majesty would have given me a gift of calligraphy. But... I really don't know whether this thing is good or bad for me. If your Xie family has this thing, you can keep it and open a pharmacy by yourself, and there will be no Lu's pharmacy."

When Xie Yuner heard this, she frowned slightly, wiped away tears with one hand, but pinched Shen Xi's armpit with the other hand, almost making Chen Xi unable to even hold his job.

Chen Xi looked up at Xie Yun'er, and saw that her eyes were crystal clear, her teeth were biting her lower lip with a grievance, her expression was a little stubborn, and she had a bit of a daughter's temper. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this was the smart and capable goddess doctor, or the beautiful wife who would be shy and embarrassed when she was teased a few times in the boudoir?

"I dare not take such a valuable thing, so I'd better leave it to the Lu Pharmacy... With it, no one dares to point fingers at the Chamber of Commerce again." Xie Yuner insisted.

Chen Xi shook his head: "That's OK yesterday, but I have told Your Majesty that the prescription was presented by the Xie family. Looking back, this calligraphy is used in the Lu family's medicine shop. The censor will definitely participate when he sees it. At that time, I will be the crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you want me to die so that you can be a widow and leave my Shen family?"

As soon as Chen Xi finished speaking, Xie Yuner pinched her body again.

Xie Yuner scolded angrily: "You said the kindness given by God is like a jackal and a beast... No matter what, I am also the wife of the Shen family now, and I have a dry stake in the Lu Pharmaceutical Store. What's wrong with using the words in the Lu Pharmaceutical Store? Humph, forget it if you don't want it, I want it!"

After saying that, she put away the text without hesitation, called Ning'er and a few others out of the house, told her that this was the imperial treasure and that she would find someone to carve a plaque in the future.

Chen Xi asked in surprise: "Yun'er, do you want to revive the Xie Family Hospital in Beijing?"

Xie Yuner was asked in one sentence. It was obvious that she was too happy. With the imperial treasures, she wanted to engrave a plaque, but ignored that the Xie family was not a medical family in the capital, and there was no use of the plaque.

Just when Xie Yuner was sad, Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's not impossible to revitalize the Xie family in the capital. At worst, it's okay to start over. I thought, if possible, we will open a pharmacy in the capital and also sell dog skin plaster. By treating the prince's illness, it will definitely sell well. Will the Xie family's pharmacy rise again?"

Xie Yuner's eyes suddenly became bright, but she quickly shook her head: "No."

"Why?" Chen Xi looked at Xie Yuner curiously.

Don’t you most hope to revitalize the Xie family as soon as possible and let the Xie family recreate the glory of the capital back then? Why don’t you appreciate it if I help you now?

Xie Yuner looked serious: "My grandson is a Hanlin editor and an official in the court. If he comes to do business, even if he helps me, he will be despised by his colleagues. I will never be a sinner who delays my grandson's future."

"oh."

Chen Xi accepted Xie Yuner's statement, lowered her head and continued to scoop the rice grains. For a moment, both of them silently stopped talking. At this time, silence is better than sound, and a warmth of family lingers around them, allowing Chen Xi to clearly feel the company of his confidante, and his future life path will no longer be lonely.

After Chen Xi finished the meal and put down the bowls and chopsticks, he smiled as if he realized it, "Yun'er, you'd better call my husband, it sounds more friendly and natural."
