Chapter 520 Xinbao is at a disadvantage
Tuanzi said, "I want two imperial doctors who are very familiar with medicinal herbs. They should be young, smart, good-looking, quick-handed, and tight-lipped. Can you help me find them?"
"Yes, yes," Fang Wuyou said, "I will go find it right away."
Fang Wuyou went there happily, and Tuanzi came back then. He asked Bai Gusheng to write down a prescription, and asked for five kilograms of each medicine.
Yes, five pounds.
If Tuanzi hadn't already established his authority, the amount alone would have been enough to make people laugh.
Fang Wuyou came back soon, bringing with him two young and handsome imperial doctors who also looked very smart.
Xinbao was very satisfied and asked them to prepare medicine.
Because the quantity required was so large, some of the medicines were not enough even in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Fortunately, Fourth Brother was there and asked people to go buy them temporarily. After buying them, he would pick out the good ones and then process them all into small pieces for easy placement into the medicine trough.
The old prince was chatting with them, and Xinbao was a little distracted, so she simply turned around and let Ye Yehe hold her, hiding her face in Ye Ye's arms. Ye Ye's big hands hugged the back of her head, and she really felt a lot calmer.
She thought blankly, if the medicine inside could be taken out, would it be better than the medicine outside?
As she was thinking, she regained consciousness, opened a medicine cabinet, and tried to take out a small piece. As soon as she took it out...she actually took it out.
Xinbao was cheered up, and quickly looked for the medicine according to the prescription. He checked one by one, but it turned out that one medicine was missing, and there were only a little bit of two others, which was obviously not enough.
Xinbao could only give up with regret, otherwise the quality of the pill recipe would vary so much that he would not be able to refine it.
At noon, they had lunch together, and then Emperor Mingpei specially allowed the old prince and Bai Gusheng to temporarily live in Chengqian Palace. The old prince sent his attendant back to say something, and then followed them back.
Because Xinbao asked him to learn from his second brother, the old prince was allowed to live with Yan Shirong.
Then Xinbao arranged for the old prince to take a nap and asked her second brother to look after him. Then she took her wife, Bai Gusheng and Hao Huashi to see the alchemy furnace.
The new alchemy furnace has not been built yet, but the old one is usable except that it is ugly. The small door has not been installed, but a few pieces of mud have been prepared, and they will fit in tightly. It doesn't matter if the medicine trough cannot be turned over, you can just use a small shovel to shovel it in. Anyway, just use it for now.
So everyone tried the existing medicine first.
But after trying it, Xinbao found that her imagination was a bit too good to be true.
Because now she already knew at what temperature to add the medicine, at what temperature to put the medicine into the pot, and where to block and where to burn... She had a clear mind, but was stuck at the first level.
After all, there is a gap between imagination and reality. Fire is not something that can be lit anywhere you point it. You think it's just right to burn it to 300 degrees, but in fact, a fire will make it 500 degrees, and a little bit of charcoal will make it 100 degrees. It's really too difficult.
In short, after an entire afternoon of work, nothing was accomplished and a lot of coal and medicine were wasted.
Yuan Shenjue said to Xinbao, "You don't have to watch over us. Let's practice first. I have memorized the standards you mentioned. Let's try slowly."
Hao Huashi got up with a dusty face and said, "I think that everyone has their own expertise. Why don't we find one from the imperial kitchen? There are some young eunuchs who specialize in making fire. I think they will be better than us after years of practice."
If confidentiality is not a consideration, this is definitely the case.
Yuan Shenjue nodded: "I'll go find it, Xinbao go change your clothes, I'll call you over when you're done."
Tuanzi was really tired, so he went back and slept for another quarter of an hour. He was then picked up in a daze and eaten dinner.
The old prince was sitting there talking to Lady Lin and the second brother. When the second brother saw Xinbao, he reported, "Grandpa only lay there for a quarter of an hour before he woke up."
"Hey, kid," the old prince raised his big hand and measured it towards him, and then said to Tuanzi in a low voice, "I slept, and Grandpa slept again, really."
"Well," Yan Shirong said, "I stood in front of the bed and read two articles to Taigong. He fell asleep halfway through the article and slept for more than an hour."
Puff! Several people laughed.
Xinbao nodded seriously: "It's just right for Grandpa to sleep for an hour. You should sleep tomorrow too."
The old prince nodded repeatedly and stretched out his hand: "Come here, dear boy, Grandpa will hug you."
Xinbao went over and asked him to hug her. Feijiu flew in from outside, wearing a bright yellow cape, which looked quite majestic. He chirped at her, meaning that it was made by Madam Lin for her.
Xinbao nodded: "Oh."
She said to it, "Xinbao thought about it and realized that if you call my mother "A Niang", Xinbao would be at a disadvantage. So, from now on, Xinbao's A Niang will be your grandmother, Xinbao's father will be your Ye Ye, and Xinbao's brother will be your uncle."
She paused: "Xinbao's Ye Ye... and Taigong..." She thought for a long time: "You may not know how to call them that, so you can just call them Zuzu for everything you don't know how to call them."
The main thing is that you can't call, right? ? Feiqiu didn't mind. He looked around and landed on her shoulder. The old prince asked, "What kind of bird is this? It's quite beautiful."
Xinbao said, "It's the little phoenix."
The old prince just thought it was a child's talk: "Hahaha, Phoenix?? This must be a parrot, right? So smart, and so affectionate!"
Feichu gave him a cold look, probably meant to intimidate him, but the old prince was not intimidated and even reached out to touch her.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The fat bird flapped its little wings and flew away, calling to Xinbao again.
Xinbao waved his hands and said, "No, Xinbao is still young. He needs help to peel the fruits. You can ask your family members to help you."
Feijiu searched around and finally brought a melon seed to the second brother. The second brother asked someone to bring a plate and peel the seeds for him.
The old prince sighed and said, "This bird is quite human! But its beak is not good. If it had a parrot's crooked beak, it would crack melon seeds with a clacking sound. Is this a lovebird?"
Tuanzi emphasized: "This is really a phoenix."
The old prince laughed and said, "Grandpa is old, it's not easy to deceive him!" He came to his senses and said, "Did you lie to Xin Baoer and say he was Fenghuang?"
Yan Shirong smiled and said, "If Taigong says so, then so be it."
"Hmm!" The old prince laughed, "That's my guess!"
After a while, Emperor Mingpei and Yan Qingshan came back together. Feijiu flapped his little wings and flew around Emperor Mingpei.
The old prince bowed and stood up, saying, "This little bird knows how to greet people?"
Feijiu chirped again, and Xinbao asked in surprise, "Really?"
She said to Emperor Mingpei, "Yeah, yeah, Yan Xiaoyuan said that it was you who put the crown on its head and called it a phoenix, and that's why it became a phoenix."
Emperor Mingpei raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Yan Shirong said, "Yeah, look at its pattern."
You wouldn't know until you hear it, but once you hear it, you will find that the patterns on Feichu's head and cheeks really look like crown tassels, especially the patterns on his cheeks, where you can vaguely see the lines.
It’s just that the fat bird is too small, so I can’t see it clearly.
Emperor Mingpei raised his hand, and Feiqiu quickly moved his little head closer, asking him to touch it, and called out twice in a flattering manner.
Emperor Mingpei didn't say much, just nodded, went over to take the dumpling, and sat down. The old prince heard something wrong and quietly came to Yan Shirong's side: "What crown? What phoenix? Why don't I understand?"
