Chapter 236: Good at being a teacher?

In terms of talent, although Zhu Xuntao is not the type of person who is full of poetry and books,

but Zhu Xuntao is a talented and capable person, and his style is not inferior at all.

Isn't it more important to be able to make glass than to recite a few sour poems?

What's more, she has heard Zhu Xuntao recite poems today, and his talent is not low.

After Zhu Xuntao found out that something was wrong with Jin'er at the palace banquet, he didn't care and protected the youngest child of Yongjing Marquis's Mansion first.

In fact, it's okay for Zhu Xuntao not to say anything.

I'm afraid that except Zhu Xuntao, only the person who attacked the emperor knew the inside story of the problem with those dishes.

So if something really happened, no one can blame Zhu Xuntao, and Zhu Xuntao can still protect himself.

Zhu Xuntao had managed to keep the only child of the Yongjing Marquis's mansion, so

the empress looked up to her.

"Thank you, empress."

Zhu Xuntao was already cold, hungry and thirsty, and now that the warm tea was in her hands, she didn't bother to be polite to the empress and drank it all.

If the empress really wanted to find fault with her, she would say that it was her fault whether she drank the tea or not.

So, she did it!

After Zhu Xuntao finished her tea, the Queen continued:

"At the palace banquet today, I saw that you didn't eat much. Are you unhappy?"

"In that case, why don't you tell me your preferences? I can ask the kitchen staff to prepare it well next time."

"So that you won't be as unhappy as you were today."

Zhu Xuntao really didn't know what kind of expression she should have at this moment:

[I am qualified to order dishes when I enter the palace for dinner? ]

[It's a bit of a leap, I'm afraid of hurting my balls. ]

Zhu Xuntao didn't have the courage to be arrogant because of her favor, so how could she dare to really order dishes according to the Queen's words.

Anyway, as long as the dishes are not poisonous and don't contain any Chinese medicine, she can eat them whether she likes them or not.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Xuntao simply brought up another matter:

"In fact, the reason why I didn't touch the food at the palace banquet was for another reason."

"Oh, what reason?"

Zhu Xuntao was willing to tell the truth to the queen so easily, which made the queen like Zhu Xuntao even more.

Zhu Xuntao was the only one who dared to tell her such a serious matter because she regarded her as an aunt and a family member.

The palace banquet was full of poisonous dishes. If this was not handled properly,

the first person who knew about it would be the most likely to be suspected.

Zhu Xuntao was taking a big risk.

"Have you, Her Majesty, ever heard the people in the hospital mention the eighteen antidotes and nineteen fears?"

Zhu Xuntao was also very curious about this.

It was really difficult for Zhu Xuntao to grow up alive because she was restricted by her biological mother's control.

Even though she was born with a ruptured fetus, she knew very little about the general situation of the Great Yong Dynasty.

The Eighteen Countermeasures and Nineteen Fears are a stigma in modern China. Zhu Xuntao is not sure whether the people of the Great Yong Dynasty know about them.

This is the second time that Xiao Jingzhan has heard of the Eighteen Countermeasures and Nineteen Fears from Zhu Xuntao.

"What do you mean by the Eighteen Countermeasures and Nineteen Fears?"

The queen's eyes revealed a look of desire, which shocked Zhu Xuntao.

"How about I recite it to you?"

Zhu Xuntao asked cautiously.

[So, the people of the Great Yong Dynasty really have no concept of the Eighteen Countermeasures and Nineteen Fears? ]

[That's why everyone has been able to live well all this time. They are all lucky. ]

"You recite..."

The queen took a deep breath and asked the prince to write it all down carefully.

Zhu Xuntao cleared his throat:

"Banlu, Bei, Ji and Ji attack Wu. Zao, Ji, Sui and Yuan all fight against Cao, Zhushen, Xinshao and Tulu rebel against Li and Lu. This is the 18th counteraction."

[It's all because I didn't read the Compendium of Materia Medica, or I didn't read enough.]

"Sulfur is the essence of fire, and saltpeter fights when they see each other. Mercury should not be seen with arsenic, and wolfsbane is most afraid of realgar... Generally speaking, the combination of cultivation depends on the smoothness and opposition, and the roasting and burning should not be dependent on each other. This is the 19th fear."

One is the queen of a country, and the other is the prince.

The two never thought that they, who were well-read in poetry, would be ridiculed by Zhu Xuntao, who was poorly known for his fear and was rated as a semi-illiterate person who only knew a few words. They read too little!

But what both of them could not deny was that they had not read as many books as Zhuxuntao!!!

What "Compendium of Materia Medica"? Not to mention reading it, I had never even heard of it!

Seeing that the queen was confused, Zhuxuntao gave a specific example:

"Your Majesty, you should know that persimmons and crabs cannot be eaten together."

"Neither of them is poisonous when eaten alone, but if eaten together, it will easily cause diarrhea."

"Rabbit meat and celery will cause defecation."

"Onions and honey will hurt your eyes when eaten together."

"And the 18 counteractions and 19 fears are much more serious than these. Not only may they be harmless when eaten alone, they may also be beneficial." "

But if used together, they will cause poisoning, blindness, or even death."

The queen: "..."

There are so many things to say. It is really not easy for her to live to this day, just as Zhuxuntao said.

The prince: "..."

It's not easy.

Xiao Jingzhan: "..."

It's too difficult.

The specific examples of food that Zhu Xuntao just cited are all too common.

The three of them have eaten each one, but they have no idea whether they have eaten them together in such a way that they are incompatible.

In short, they can live to this day in good health, thanks to God's blessing!

The queen rubbed her temples with a guilty heart:

"My son, do you remember what Taotao said just now?"

The prince felt that the queen was making things difficult for her son.

He didn't have the ability to remember everything he saw.

Seeing the prince's embarrassment, Zhu Xuntao simply took out the four treasures of the study,

wrote his own neat handwriting on it, and recited it word for word.

"Thank you for your hard work, Taotao."

If it were the past, when the queen saw Zhu Xuntao's handwriting, she would definitely scold Zhu Xuntao for being so bad. Didn't he practice calligraphy?

There was no style in each stroke, only craftsmanship.

Now, because of the change in her mentality, the queen would only praise him, saying that the person is like his handwriting, upright and upright, and with a decent appearance.

Moreover, after looking at Zhu Xuntao's handwriting for a long time, she felt that it was a little cute.

After all, before children learn calligraphy, they all write in the style of Zhu Xuntao.

It is not wrong to describe the handwriting of children as cute.

"It is getting late. On the way back, Jingzhan, you should take good care of Taotao and don't let Taotao get hurt or frozen."

Finally, the Queen had figured out the eighteen opposites and nineteen fears that Zhu Xuntao mentioned, and

half of the things in her mind were solved.

Then, she only needed to find someone with the Crown Prince to figure out the eighteen opposites and nineteen fears,

and then compare them with the Emperor's diet, and she would have the answer soon.

"Yes, Queen."

Xiao Jingzhan was also curious about the eighteen opposites and nineteen fears for more than one or two days. Today, he got the answer, and the hanging stone could fall.

After getting on the carriage, Zhu Xuntao, who was slightly relaxed, couldn't help yawning.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingzhan stretched out his arms and let Zhu Xuntao lean on his arms.
