Chapter 448 Even the dishes were served
Mammy's face almost changed.
The queen would eat two or three slices of the peeled orange to whet her appetite, and then the orange would be hung in the well and eaten at noon.
There’s not much in total, and it will take a day to eat.
As a result, Princess Jun took them all in her arms?
"..There's none in the capital." The queen gritted her teeth.
Fu Zhaoning is not afraid of sour food, and her stomach is in good health. She has no problem eating oranges on an empty stomach.
This orange is quite sweet and juicy. There really aren't any in Beijing. It would be difficult to transport it here. It's a long way, and a lot of it would be lost on the way, so it must be precious.
I didn’t see it outside, but I ate it here at the Queen’s place. How could she be polite?
So she ate one petal after another and enjoyed the meal very much.
"The Queen called me over. Is there something wrong?"
Why are you staring at her like that?
The queen felt sorry for the oranges and was even more upset. "I haven't been sleeping well these past few days. When I get up, my head and stomach hurt, and I don't have much appetite."
"What did the imperial physician say?" Fu Zhaoning asked.
"The imperial physician said it was most likely Ku Xia."
The weather is too hot and I have a bit of heat stroke.
But the queen knew it very well. She was just holding back her anger and couldn't get rid of it. She had suffered such a great blow that she couldn't get better after vomiting blood that day.
She didn't say it clearly.
If she told it out loud, how would she explain why she was vomiting blood?
"The imperial physician's medical skills are naturally good." Fu Zhaoning said and continued to eat oranges.
The queen's eyes fell on the orange that was quickly eaten halfway, and she felt her head hurt more and her chest felt more stuffy. "Your medical skills are better than Dr. Li's. Please take a look at me."
Fu Zhaoning glanced at her.
The queen was half-lying on the couch, obviously not wanting to get up.
If she went to take the pulse, she would have to squat beside the couch because there was no space.
Asking her to squat while taking her pulse is not such rude behavior to a doctor, even in a society where everyone is equal.
"Didn't the Queen invite Dr. Li?"
Doctor Li——
Doctor Li couldn't even cure Jill. "That's what Doctor Li said, too."
"In that case, Queen, just cool down. Put some ice basins in the room, don't wear too many clothes, and drink some soup to clear away the heat."
Fu Zhaoning ate another orange slice. "Although my medical skills are a little better than Doctor Li's, he is not so bad that he can't even diagnose whether it is heatstroke. If he has already made such a diagnosis, then it should be correct. Otherwise, the Queen will ask Renyitang to revoke his purple doctor's card, right?"
This is what I said——
The queen felt upset.
"Just show it to me, okay?"
Fu Zhaoning really didn't want to watch it.
If she said after the diagnosis that it was not heatstroke, then her diagnosis would be different from that of the imperial doctors.
But if she was asked to make up nonsense and say it was heatstroke, she would not be able to overcome her own responsibilities as a doctor.
"The Queen..."
Just when she was about to find an excuse to decline, the voice of the nanny beside the Queen Mother came from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother can't get up today!"
The nanny walked in quickly, her eyes fell on Fu Zhaoning, she was surprised and happy, "Princess Jun, it's a good thing that you are here, please go and see the Queen Mother."
Fu Zhaoning stood up immediately, "What happened to the Queen Mother?"
"He suddenly said he couldn't get up and felt weak all over. I couldn't explain it clearly."
"Come on, let me go and take a look."
Fu Zhaoning said to the queen anxiously, "Queen, you have already been examined by the imperial physician and Dr. Li. I won't show off my skills in front of them. I will go and see the queen mother!"
After saying that, she rushed out quickly like a gust of wind.
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave." The maid also bowed and followed her out of the hall.
The queen stretched out her hand, intending to stop Fu Zhaoning, but she was too fast and it was too late.
She just watched Fu Zhaoning rush out.
The most hateful thing is that Fu Zhaoning actually forgot to put down the half plate of oranges! She just walked away with it!
Fu Zhaoning walked for a while before slowing down, waiting for the nanny to catch up.
“Princess Jun, what you are doing…” Nanny Jin looked at the half plate of oranges she was holding, somewhat puzzled.
"The Queen had someone peel it for me and asked me to eat it enthusiastically. I had to eat it. So, in order not to disappoint the Queen, I had to finish it."
This pink and white plate with flowers and birds on it containing oranges is very exquisite. I wonder how much it would be worth if it were brought back to modern times.
However, it should still be very beautiful now.
Okay, take it with you.
Fu Zhaoning took the plate with her without any hesitation. It wasn't that she was greedy for petty gains, but it was mainly because it could make the queen angry.
That's enough to have this effect.
Why does Nanny Jin feel that she doesn't believe it? The Queen is enthusiastic? Even if the Queen is enthusiastic, it is impossible for her to be enthusiastic towards Princess Jun.
Who doesn't know that the Queen dislikes Princess Jun?
"Princess Jun, you have to think carefully before you eat anything in the palace. I'm afraid some of the food is too cold or too dry, and it will have an effect on your body."
Nanny Jin was afraid that Fu Zhaoning was not careful enough in the palace and would be harmed by someone, so she couldn't help but remind her.
How can you eat anything in the palace? Especially when it is from the Queen.
Fu Zhaoning could hear the good intentions of Nanny Jin and smiled, "Thank you, Nanny, I know. This orange is very sweet, would you like to try it?"
She gave one petal to Nanny Jin.
Just as she said not to eat anything here casually, Fu Zhaoning handed her a piece. Nanny Jin was a little amused, but looking at Fu Zhaoning's smile, she subconsciously took it and put it in her mouth.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
“It’s delicious.”
Nanny Jin suddenly realized something and looked at the plate of oranges again.
This must be a special kind of orange sent from the south in previous years, but why wasn't it sent to the Empress Dowager this year? In the past, the Empress Dowager and the two Imperial Noble Consorts also had some.
The Queen no longer takes the Queen Mother seriously.
"Mammy, is the Queen Mother really unable to get up?"
"Well..." Nanny Jin sighed, "To be honest, the Queen Mother has gotten up, but her health is indeed not as good as before, and she has been feeling depressed and dizzy for a while."
Last year, Princess Jun was invited to the palace to be examined by the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother was not friendly to Prince Jun and his wife at that time. Princess Jun did not receive any treatment, and the Queen Mother said it was not her fault.
Nanny Jin looked around and whispered, "Princess Jun, the Queen Mother is very kind and protective of Prince Jun, but she always said that Prince Jun didn't need to know what she did in the past."
As Fu Zhaoning followed her, he listened to Nanny Jin talk about some of the things the Empress Dowager had done in the past.
What surprised her most was that the Master of Youqing Peak was actually found by the Queen Mother.
"At that time, Prince Jun had no one to look after him in the capital, and the servants in Prince Jun's mansion had no way to protect him." Nanny Jin sighed, thinking of those days.
