C103 Chapter 103

"No, from now on, I can't just sit there and do nothing." Ho Lingloong fiercely slammed the table, causing the tea cup on the table to shake.

"Princess, be careful of your hands."

"Bai Jiegeng, just you wait and see. I want to see if this wild Jiegeng of yours can match my Lingling's heart!" Ho Lingloong muttered.

In the afternoon, the entire capital became lively because of the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy.

"Have you heard? The Bai family is really going to return to the capital!"

"What do you mean? Could it be that imperial physician has returned?"

"No, but the young master of Bai family is back. He is imperial physician's eldest grandson. This afternoon, Master Bai and Miss Bai will have a consultation at the main store of Piao Yuan's Pharmacy. "

" Oh! Then I have to go and take a good look!"

In the headquarters of Piao Yuan's Pharmacy, there was a hubbub of voices.

"It's just two doctors? Is there a need to hold them like this?" Ho Lingloong happened to be here before and her face was full of disdain.

"The Bai family's medical skills are well known throughout the entire Great Yan. It's not surprising for such a scene to occur." The young maid held an umbrella and explained by the side.

Ho Lingloong immediately swept her gaze over, scaring the young maid so much that she immediately shut her mouth.

"Let's go in and take a look." Ho Lingloong immediately went in. The young maid did not dare to say anything and could only follow.

"Miss, are you here to see a doctor or to buy medicine?" footboy, who was at the entrance of the store, asked politely.

"I am here to look for Bai Jiegeng!" Ho Lingloong was quite arrogant.

"How about this? Then please take your number and line up here. When it is your turn, you can go in."

"What? You want me to line up?" Ho Lingloong was so angry that she jumped up. "I am a princess, how can I be like these commoners!"

When the patiently queuing people heard this, they all looked at Ho Lingloong with disdain.

In the past, if this identity was put on display, the innkeeper would more or less care about Ho Lingloong's face. However, such an exception had never existed in the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy.

"This lowly one greets the princess." Ho Lingloong was quite satisfied with footboy's current actions. However, footboy's next sentence caused Ho Lingloong's anger to surge once again.

"But you still have to line up!"

"Go in and inform Bai Jiegeng that I, Ho Lingloong, am here." Ho Lingloong could only suppress her temper in front of everyone.

"I'm sorry, princess. This is against the rules. If the princess is a personal friend of my young lady, you can go to the residence to pay a visit. When you come here, you have to abide by the rules of our Medicine Hall. " footboy spoke righteously and was not afraid of the princess in front of him at all.

The people in the queue started to laugh at Ho Lingloong in secret.

"Stay here and queue. Call me when it's time." Ho Lingloong hastily instructed her maidservant before heading to the teahouse next door.

Originally, Ho Lingloong could have just left. However, she really could not swallow this anger. She had to personally enter and humiliate Jiegeng properly before she could finally let it go.

After more than two hours, Ho Lingloong entered the medicine hall.

"You are really arrogant. You actually want me, the princess, to wait for you for so long?" When Ho Lingloong saw Jiegeng, she began to ridicule her.

"Princess Linglong, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiegeng no longer had any jealousy towards Ho Lingloong and naturally did not care about her words.

"Put your hand here. It is easy for me to diagnose the pulse."

Ho Lingloong slowly sat down but did not follow Jiegeng's instructions.

"What right does a mere medical worker have to command me?"

Jiegeng understood in her heart that this Ho Lingloong specially came to find trouble.

"I dare not, but you are here to see a doctor. If you do not let me diagnose your pulse, how would I know where your illness is?"

Ho Lingloong gracefully placed her wrist on the consultation bag, "At most, she is not a servant girl. Why would she have the courage to seduce Zhen'an King?" Ho Lingloong continued to speak rudely.

Jiegeng still took Ho Lingloong's pulse first, "The princess is in good health and is fine." Jiegeng retracted her hand and did not intend to get entangled with her.

"I worked so hard to queue for more than two hours and your words of 'in good health' are like sending her away? From my point of view, you are indeed a quack." Ho Lingloong sneered, "It seems that you are not even considered a maidservant. You are just a liar."

Jiegeng finally could not hold it in anymore and immediately jumped up from the stool. "Ho Lingloong, that's enough. Don't think that I tolerated you because I was afraid of you!"

"Otherwise, what else can you do?" Ho Lingloong asked back arrogantly.

"In terms of status, you are just a commoner. How can you be as noble as my princess? In terms of talent, you can learn. I am the publicly acknowledged talented woman. In terms of looks, you are even less than me. You are inferior to me in every aspect. How can you fight me? And how dare you compete with me for the title of Prince?" Ho Lingloong went forward to interrogate.

Because this consultation room was a single room and there were no outsiders watching, Ho Lingloong was extremely arrogant.

"His Royal Highness likes me and does not like you. This point, I have already won. As for the rest, I don't care." Jiegeng smiled.

"Is that so? Do you think you won just like that?" Ho Lingloong was not further angered by this.

" If you want to enter the Imperial Residence, even if it is the Empress Dowager, you will not be able to pass. " Ho Lingloong thought of the Empress Dowager and her teeth itched with hatred.

"No matter how much His Highness likes you, it is impossible for him to go against his own mother because of this, right? With your identity, background, and knowledge... It's impossible for you to become the Princess. However, if your goal was to become a concubine, I naturally wouldn't mind. " Ho Lingloong sneered.

"I came here to remind you not to think too highly of yourself!" After Ho Lingloong finished speaking, she turned around and left arrogantly.

"Wait!" Jiegeng suddenly called out to Ho Lingloong.

Ho Lingloong slowly turned around, "What, have you thought it through?"

"You haven't paid the consultation fee yet. Remember to hand it over to the counter when you go out." Jiegeng returned to her seat and coldly replied to her.

"As expected of a short-sighted person." Ho Lingloong took out a silver note worth a hundred taels, "The more, I will give it to you as a reward."

Jiegeng kept the silver note, "Not enough."

"Not enough!" Ho Lingloong's expression changed. "This 100 taels is dozens of times more!"

"Just now, I saw that some of the people before only gave a few copper coins!" The maidservant beside Ho Lingloong began to support.

"Didn't you look at the sign when you came in? The consultation fee was decided by the doctor. I think the value will be as much as I think.

You are a high and mighty princess. How can this consultation fee be compared to that of a commoner?" Jiegeng sneered.

"However, you can also go back on your word. I will take it as a loss." Jiegeng even deliberately put on a bitter face.

"How much do you want?" Ho Lingloong gritted her teeth and asked.

"Yes." Jiegeng thought for a while, "500 taels."

"Aren't you robbing me?!" The young maid angrily scolded.

"Then Princess, you can just leave. In any case, you have a high reputation. With your status, you are bullying us commoners. We can't say anything." Jiegeng once again looked like she had been wronged.

"Give it to her."

"Princess, this..."

"I said give it to him! " Ho Lingloong had been fiercely staring at Jiegeng the entire time.

The young maid reluctantly gave Jiegeng another four hundred taels.

"Thank you for the princess's generosity. Jiegeng will thank you here!" Jiegeng smiled at Ho Lingloong.

As soon as Ho Lingloong left the consultation room, she began to pretend to be dizzy and weak.

"Princess, the Bai family's medical skills are also undeserved. You spent five hundred taels of silver to diagnose your illness, but this Bai Jiegeng actually said that you are not ill. Isn't she lying through her teeth? " The young maid supported Ho Lingloong, sat in the carriage, and left.

Those who were waiting in line in the medicine hall, or those who were waiting to get the medicine, could not help but laugh when they saw the scene just now.

"This Princess Linglong is rumored to be a talented girl who knows books and etiquette. Seeing her today, she is only so-so."

"That's right. She was still in the middle of arguing with footboy previously and was very angry. Now, she can't even leave!"

"That's right! Hahaha, Miss Bai's five hundred taels is really good. It is time to punish those who think they are aristocrats."

When Jiegeng was done with her work, half of her body was hidden on the ground.

"Oh my, I'm so tired!" Jiegeng walked out of the clinic and stretched.

"Miss, why didn't you call me when that Princess Linglong came to cause trouble?" Shao was depressed.

"Why did I call you? With your courage, you met some rich kid in City L. He was so scared that he called you in to face the princess's arrogance. Aren't you going to lose your legs? I've been practicing my courage for a long time now. "

" I won't be timid in the future. I promised Madam that I would protect Miss well! " Shao swore.

When they walked out of the medicine store, Jiegeng immediately praised footboy, who stopped Ho Lingloong.

Bai Ye also came out at this moment. "Alright, Jiegeng, get ready to go back."

"Do you keep what you said this morning?" Jiegeng stopped Bai Ye and asked.

Bai Ye smiled, "Of course."

"Then you won't blame me if I act willfully out of self-protection?" Jiegeng looked at Bai Ye like a ghost.

Bai Ye nodded.

"Then, can we, the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy, reject the He family forever? Not only can we not treat them, we can't even sell the medicinal herbs to them!"

Jiegeng remembered the words Bai Lan used to scare Lau Yunyan that day. At this time, she could only hope that he would fulfill these words to Ho Lingloong.

Bai Ye could not help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Sure enough, this is not possible." Jiegeng was slightly disappointed, even though she had guessed that this might only be used by Bai Lan to scare people.

"Miss, this young master has already given instructions." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied Jiegeng.

"Oh?" Jiegeng looked at Bai Ye with surprise and surprise.

"Young master and young lady are indeed worthy of being the bloodline of the family head. This point of not being willing to suffer losses is enough for the family head." The shopkeeper recalled the scene when Bai Qing was still alive and could not help but laugh.

"You're a big brother. It's not a loss for you to acknowledge him." Jiegeng looked at Bai Ye, and her attitude became even better.

"Alright, can we go back now?" Bai Ye looked at the mischievous Jiegeng again.

"Wait, I need to get a few cans of powder." Jiegeng immediately went upstairs.

When Jiegeng came down with a few porcelain bottles, Bai Ye could not help but laugh when he saw them. "Your anger has yet to subside?"

"Of course not!" Jiegeng simply started to stir things up, "To scam her for a few hundred taels, it is just a small matter to her."

Looking at her satisfactory work, Jiegeng smiled complacently.

"If Grandfather finds out that you misuse the things in 'Bai's Medical Scripture' like this, you will definitely be punished." Bai Ye shook his head helplessly.

"You can't tell him!" Jiegeng pointed at Bai Ye with her finger. "If you dare to snitch on me, I will torture you!"

"I don't dare!" Bai Ye raised both his hands and surrendered.

"That's more like it." Jiegeng put the newly prepared powder into the new porcelain bottle and put it in her arms.

"You can go back first. I want to buy something to eat." Jiegeng's mouth had been craving for food for a few days.

"Okay, be careful."

After strolling through the night market in the capital, Jiegeng finally felt that she had really returned to the capital.

"Miss, this place is really lively!" Shao had been in the capital for a few days, and this was the first time she had come out.

"Of course. I will take you to a place. The snacks there are delicious!" Jiegeng said proudly, "Aye, it is there - Ziran Parlor! Let's go!" Jiegeng pulled Shao and happily ran forward. Qi quietly followed behind the two of them.

"Wow, Miss, the pastries here are so beautiful! Just like real flowers." Shao's eyes lit up.

"Let me tell you, I think that among all these, the most delicious one is this peach blossom cake." Jiegeng pointed at an exquisite pastry.

"This pastry is mixed with real peach blossoms. With every bite, I feel that the real peach blossoms are right in front of my nose." Jiegeng excitedly introduced it to Shao.

"Boss, this peach blossom cake..."

"Boss, I want all of this peach blossom cake!" A familiar voice interrupted Jiegeng. She also rushed to settle all of the peach blossom cakes with Jiegeng.

"Princess Linglong, it's you again!" Jiegeng turned her head and looked angrily at Ho Lingloong who had rushed out halfway.

"Oh, why is your temper so bad now? Where did you go to be humble in the medicine hall just now?" Ho Lingloong said disdainfully.

"We are the best doctors, and we respect the patients. Now, there is nothing to talk about between us, right?"

"Boss, why don't you wrap up all the peach blossom cakes for me?" Ho Lingloong turned to the innkeeper and spoke in a pleasant tone.

"Princess, there are still quite a few people left with the remaining peach blossom cakes. Are you sure you want all of them? These pastries can't last through the night," the innkeeper reminded her kindly.

"It's alright. I want all of them." When Ho Lingloong said this, she even deliberately smiled at Jiegeng.

"Since you can't eat so much, why waste it? Let's split it equally." Jiegeng was calm as she tried to negotiate with Ho Lingloong.

Ho Lingloong did not buy it and walked to Jiegeng's side. She whispered in Jiegeng's ear, "Even if I feed it to dogs, I will not give it to you."

After saying that, she immediately looked at Jiegeng proudly.

"Princess, the things you want are all here." The shopkeeper packed up the pastries.

After Ho Lingloong's maidservant paid the bill, she also carried the things away as if she was superior to others.

"Miss Bai, you can choose the other ones." Finishing, Ho Lingloong happily left the Ziran House.

"Miss, I finally know why you said that before." Shao was breathing heavily now.

"But they also went too far!" Shao was indignant.

"Miss, why are you still smiling? You are being bullied like this!" Shao looked at Jiegeng who had a joyful expression and really could not understand.

"Miss, you are not so angry that you are stupid, right?" Shao became anxious.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" ___ asked. Jiegeng teased Shao, "You will know tomorrow. This prey that came to our doorstep, if we don't eat it, we will be letting down the heavens."

"Ah?" Shao was completely confused.

"Alright, let's buy something else. The osmanthus cakes here are also very delicious!" Jiegeng immediately threw herself into the embrace of delicious food.
