Jiangnan. The man leaned on the side door of the house and said, "I originally wanted to buy a girl from a rich family to be my wife. You know, this girl from a wealthy family was taught to be no different from an ordinary daughter, she's much better than a village girl."
"This girl was sold to me by her parents. I thought she agreed, but didn't want to get into the car with her hands and feet tied around her mouth. I didn't want to see her unhappy, but I gave her the betrothal gift. I just want to bring this girl back to our hometown to get married and treat her well. After three to five years, we'll be able to ease up a bit. However, I never expected that just as I was bringing this girl out of Tianjin territory, I heard from the people at the inn that there was an empress in the Imperial Guard Wang Qianhu's house, and that this girl was previously working for Imperial Guard's Wang family.
"Once I think about it, it'll be too much of a waste if I become the empress's own wife." I thought of you. It would be a waste if they left it in my hands. You have a wide network of contacts, so you can even sell it for a good price. "
The person who had been listening in silence stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage. There was a girl lying inside, a little haggard, but she had jewelry and clothes on her head.
"How do you know it's for the queen?" the man asked.
The lackey laughed, "Who cares if she is here to serve the Empress, she is from Duke Yongnian. What is the current situation of Duke Yongnian? If there is a Queen, then the entire capital will be trying to curry favor with her. This lass in your hands, wouldn't she have the chance to be linked with the Duke Yongnian Palace?"
"You haven't touched it?" the man asked.
"It's not easy to get on the carriage." The merchant said, "This girl is also very hot-tempered. She did not succeed the first two times, but when she found out later that she was Jin Gui, she did not dare to make a move. "What she was like before is what it was like. If she wasn't a virgin, she would have broken her record at the Wang Clan."
"What medicine did you feed her?" the man asked.
"A little soft muscle powder. It's nothing. Once the medicine is stopped, it'll be very active." the man promised.
"Give me a price." The curtain of the carriage was put down.
"How can you treat me badly?" The lackey chuckled, "What are you going to do about it? Give me back this betrothal gift, and let me say the price of a good kiss."
In the end, it was Xu Duzhong who carried the soil and the loquat tree into the Qianqing Palace together. Zhu Yijun waved his hands left and right, and under Xu Duzhong's guidance, personally picked the leaves, washed them, and brushed the hair on the leaves with the horsehair. Zhang Cheng then placed the leaves into a jar to boil some water, then personally fanned himself to take care of the small medicinal furnace's heat. In the end, he poured out a bowl of loquat water, placed a small cup of honey on the side, and sent Xu Duzhong to the Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yijun placed the brush under the bowl and muttered, "This was made by us personally, so our hearts should be comparable to that girl's. If that is still not possible, then we can only find more people as soon as possible. "
Xu Duzhong handed over the loquat water, causing Wang Rong to see the note next to the bowl, "Where did Imperial Physician Xu come from?"
"This humble subject will come from Qianqing Palace." Xu Duzhong said.
"Could it be that His Majesty has personally boiled this loquat water?" Wang Rong was startled.
"Yes." Xu Duzhong said, "Your majesty personally picked the leaves, personally washed them, and then watched them simmer. From the beginning to the end, there was not a single place that we could pretend to have people. "
Wang Ronghe looked at the bowl of loquat water, touched. "What virtue or ability do I have to make His Majesty act like this?" Without using any honey, he picked up the bowl of yellow-brown water and drank it all in one gulp.
"His Majesty is only worried about the Empress's phoenix body." Xu Duzhong said, "This subject thinks hard, and thinks of every method possible, why does the Empress's cough keep repeating itself? There is only one possibility, and that is that the Empress did not follow this subject's instructions and take the medicine."
"If the Empress's cough is any worse, this subject is unable to do anything. I can only trouble His Majesty to personally knead the pill. The Empress might be able to eat a few more pills."
"Imperial Physician Xu misunderstood me." Wang Rong He said, "I've already taken your medicine, so even if I don't like to eat medicine, I can still feel the discomfort from repeatedly coughing, especially at night when I can't sleep."
"Imperial Physician Xu's prescription is a little heavier." Wang Rong He said, "Gentle medicine has a slow effect. His Majesty has already personally boiled the loquat water for me. If it doesn't work out well, I'll be indebted to His Holiness."
"You should keep the prescription in mind, it can't get any worse." Xu Duzhong said.
"I believe that the Imperial Physician Xu has a way." Wang Rong said with a smile.
She had the charcoal brought up, and drew a little figure in a palace dress, kneeling, with an exaggerated expression of wailing, and an empty bowl next to it, turned on its side. Reminiscing on grace. Wang Rong smiled, rolled up her small drawing and sent it to the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yijun looked at the little guy and smiled, "Is the empress really crying?"
"The Empress is very touched." The palace maid cleverly changed the way she said it.
"Seriously, what's there to cry about?" Zhu Yijun said, but in his heart he was extremely pleased, "You drank all the loquat water?"
"I drank it all. The Empress said that after drinking the loquat water, she felt much better and that after taking the medicine for a few more days, she would be able to kowtow to the Emperor and thank him for his kindness. " The palace maid said.
"Thank you." Zhu Yijun shook his small portrait and said, "You can even draw a peony just by drawing a lotus. This kind of small portrait is not bad." Zhu Yijun said, and told his men to put away the small picture properly.
After eating another three days of medicine, Wang Rong and Chen Qi both felt that their throats were so dry that they didn't even have to cough while grooming. Wang Rong had personally prepared today's menu, and everything was set down on a plate for Li Gong to do. Today, we invite your majesty to come to the Kunning Palace for your meal. is exactly where Faculty Division is located, to let Little Wu, who is a group of three or five, come to cheer us on. " Wang Rong said to Furong.
"Wuyou, take out the flowery paper I made at home, I want to write a post." Wang Rong He said.
This was because empress was a man who had been coughing for a long time, so it wasn't that empress was in high spirits, but that everyone in the Kunning Palace was very happy. When they went to pay their respects to the two emperors, they even changed the decorations of the palace.
Empress Dowager Chen felt a sense of joy from Wang Rong He, "Is everything alright?"
"Thank you mother for your concern. It's done." Wang Rong He said.
"It's good that you're fine. Don't take your body's discomfort seriously when you're young. Your body will feel even worse when it's old." The Empress Dowager Chen said.
"I'm from the province of ChenChen." Wang Rong smiled and said, "Cough, once you've recovered, you can talk a little more with my mother."
"It's best not to say too much today. It's been a long time since I last saw His Majesty. Today, we should properly get closer to him." The Empress Dowager Chen said.
Wang Rong became a bit embarrassed.
When he arrived at Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Li also found that Wang Rong He's cough had recovered, "Is your cough well?"
"After I go back to my mother, she's done." Wang Rong He said.
"Even if it's better, don't let your guard down. The following days are getting colder and colder. Carefully don't let it happen again." The Empress Dowager Li said.
"Thank you mother for your pity, your son is terrified." Wang Rong He said.
"You have to be healthy to be with His Majesty for a long time." Empress Dowager Li said that today was a warm day. The atmosphere between the two of them had returned to how it was before, and it was no longer as tense and tense as before.
After exiting the Ci'an Palace, Wuyou was happy for the Empress. "The Holy Mother Esteemed Empress Dowager has started to care for the Empress again, just like before."
"The Holy Mother Esteemed Empress Dowager is naturally good." As long as I don't challenge her authority.
Wang Rong and I will return to Kunning Palace, and write a post inviting His Majesty to come to Kunning Palace reunion. With the cool breeze and the letters, we will be able to recover from our coughing, and our mood will be very good.
Wang Rong and she called for hot water to bathe, and also had the mood to point out the beauty of appearance and jade, and make new hairstyles and makeup. Due to cough, the autumn chrysanthemums passed their blooming period, but they did not receive any rewards, and many chrysanthemums and pots were sent to Kunning Palace, but only a few late blooming chrysanthemums and pots were left in the hall for the occasion.
"Does the Empress want a fresh chrysanthemum on her head?" Yu Qiao asked.
"It's not easy to open the chrysanthemum, so let it stay in the branches." Wang Rong smiled. "That chrysanthemum made out of gold, that hairpin."
He didn't stick to his jade mask today, but used rouge to paint a picture of a chrysanthemum petal on his forehead. He had only just pursed his lips when he heard someone outside the palace waving a whip. His Majesty had arrived.
Zhu Yijun got off the chariot, and upon seeing how Wang Rong was dressed up, he became a little dazed. Because in the past, when they came to Kunning Palace, although Wang Rong and she had dressed up to welcome them, they would often enter the hall, with their hair and clothes changed.
Zhu Yijun supported Wang Rong, "Zitong, subtract."
Wang Rong looked at Zhu Yijun, "It's been a long time since we last met His Majesty, His Majesty is still as elegant as ever."
"Long time no see Zitong, I miss him greatly." Zhu Yijun said.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's loquat water. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so fast." Wang Rong He said.
"You just have a heavy heart." Zhu Yijun said, "A servant girl is worth thinking over in your heart. We have already sent people to look for her, we will find her very soon."
Wang Rong He looked at Zhu Yijun's side profile. I'm telling you, that matter wasn't because I wanted you to boil some loquat for me, nor was it because I wanted you to help me find it. It's just that when she's feeling unwell, she misses her old friend more and more. However, Zhu Yijun had personally cooked her some loquat water and even said that he would help her find someone.
"I'm a lover." Wang Rong He said, "Your majesty has treated me well, I'll remember it well."
When Zhu Yijun entered the hall, Wang Rong and her servants served him with her hands and face, waiting for him to sit down before bringing the prepared food up. Between the two of them, there was a large table with all the dishes placed on it, there were not many other dishes, and there were only six of them, a flower shaped bowl, a soup, gold chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums.
"I guess this dish should be called Jade Kylin?" Zhu Yijun pointed to the soup. The Jade Kylin was one of the most famous products of the chrysanthemum, it was white in color.
"It's a Golden Jade Qilin." "There's a yellow one here, too."
After eating a little, he waited quietly for a moment, and then took his leave. Zhu Yijun prepared to use his chopsticks, but Wang Rong pressed his hand down, "Your Majesty, please wait."
Hibiscus after the signal, clap three small, dancers in turn, after the curtain, music, dancers dance. Zhu Yijun was very surprised. Wang Rong warmed the wine with her orders and personally poured a cup for Zhu Yijun, "Your Majesty, I thank Your Majesty for this cup, and all my words are in the wine."
Zhu Yijun raised his head and drank it all, then smiled and said to Wang Rong He, "After seeing you today, I now know that in the past, Zitong was always perfunctory when she received the wine."
"Your Majesty has misunderstood me." Wang Rong He said, "Because of my illness, I didn't set up a banquet for His Majesty when I was just looking over the chrysanthemums. Today, I will prepare a small banquet to be considered as compensation, and if His Majesty requests me to receive him daily, I can only hope that His Majesty comes once a month for Kunning Palace."
"Why?" Zhu Yijun asked.
"There will be a feast at all times. Your Majesty, do you think that I should find someone to justify my extravagance?" Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand for Wang Rong to grasp. If Zitong is serious, he can set up such a small feast in three to five hours, and it would be great if we could relax. Just the two of us are good. It must be because you were tired from the last Gonghou Garden banquet and you blew the wind, that you fell ill. That kind of thing would do you no good at all. I don't want you to do that. "
"Zitong can only take care of us, the imperial concubine has her good fortune." Zhu Yijun said.
"If Your Majesty doesn't mind seeing me bored, I'll occasionally set up a small feast to accompany Your Majesty in having a drink." Wang Rong He said.
"Speaking of which, this wine tastes really good. How come I've never tasted it before?" Zhu Yijun said.
"I brought this wine from home." Wang Rong He said, "Originally, my father loved to drink, so I wanted to personally brew wine to honor him. In the end, the sweetness of the wine was enough, but it was not intoxicating enough, and after a few rounds, the remaining wines tasted good, but they were not strong enough."
"Zitong can even brew wine?" Zhu Yijun was curious.
"Your Majesty, the woman in the harem has been around for a long time. It's enough for me to go through all these useless and time-consuming things." Wang Rong He said.
Zhu Yijun obviously liked this wine a lot, "This wine is very good, I'm really blessed."
