Chapter 171 Medicine
Directly in front of Fubiting is a large area of Nandina domestica, and across the path on the right is a field of spring plums.
On the left, across a small path, is Luming Lake.
Fubiting Pavilion is built high, so you can see Luming Lake clearly. The light rain hits the lake, creating small dots of water that ripple, and the whole lake seems to be alive.
Shen Chuliu put his hands over his eyes and looked around through the mist created by the rain. He found a hint of white among the pink spring plums: "Is that a white plum?"
"My lord, those are two pear trees." Zi Rui said.
"Oh?" Shen Chuliu smiled: "It's not white plum blossoms. Pear blossoms are more beautiful than white plum blossoms."
"Those who claim to be noble would be so disdainful of what you said." Qi Yixiu said as he sat drinking tea and looking at the scenery.
"The emperor has also said that if one claims to be noble, then he is just pretending to be noble. I don't care about that." Shen Chuliu also sat down.
"Pear blossoms cannot stand the rain, I'm afraid they will cover the ground tomorrow." Shen Chuliu smiled, "The ancients said, 'The small building listens to the spring rain overnight, and the deep alleys sell apricot blossoms the next morning.' Now, the palace listens to the spring rain overnight, and the plum forest is covered with snow the next morning."
"My beloved concubine has excellent literary talent." Qi Yixiu said.
"The emperor is so careless. He is obviously not elegant at all." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu looked at her, smiled and said nothing.
Set your sights on Luming Lake.
Shen Chuliu stopped talking and turned to look at the lake.
It was a rare opportunity to relax with the emperor. I just stayed there quietly for a long time, looking at the rain-soaked lake.
When Shen Chuliu felt cold and her feet were cold, Qi Yixiu said, "Are you cold? Let's go."
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to do today? If not, how about coming to my place?" Shen Chuliu tilted her head and invited the emperor.
Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Since my beloved concubine has invited me, how dare I not go?"
"Your Majesty is really something. He clearly gave me face, but he still praised me so highly. I will not be fooled." Shen Chuliu snorted.
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, he stood up and took her hand.
His umbrella is big enough to provide coverage for one more person.
It was a coincidence that the rain stopped as soon as they returned.
Both of them were a little speechless.
Shen Chuliu asked someone to help the emperor change his clothes first, and then he soaked his feet in hot water. Thinking that the servants in Cuiyunxuan were helpful, they had prepared the necessary things just now.
You don't have to go to the kitchen to boil water, you can do it here.
I asked someone to go back and get clothes before the fourth day of the New Year, so I changed into new clothes in time.
It’s done, sit outside and talk comfortably.
"Your Majesty is in a very good mood today." Shen Chuliu poured hot tea for Qi Yixiu.
"My beloved, are you in a bad mood?" Qi Yixiu asked back.
"That's good, of course. There's nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty is in a good mood, so I'm naturally happy too. And seeing the beautiful scenery, I'm naturally happy all over." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu pulled her to sit next to him and said, "My beloved concubine is very eloquent. I am only 30% interested, but now that you are talking, I am already 70% interested."
Qi Yixiu looked at the lamp on the cabinet and asked, "Do you like this lamp?"
"I like it." Shen Chuliu looked at the lamp: "But if it breaks one day, will the emperor give me a new one?"
Qi Yixiu looked at her and said, "How dare you break the gift I gave you?"
"The ancients said that the good things in the world are not solid, and colorful clouds are easily dispersed and glass is fragile." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "What I received is the emperor's heart, how can it be a dead thing?"
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, but these words went into his heart.
Until the next morning when I was going back, I was still thinking about this sentence: colorful clouds are easily dispersed and glass is fragile.
He thought of Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi is the fragile glass.
And it is easier for others to survive in this palace than her.
In Changle Palace, Concubine Yi is actually much better, but she looks completely different from before.
Her health is not as good as before, so even if she recovers, she can't withstand any hardship.
And if you live in the palace, it is impossible not to see other people.
Even if you can't see it, you have to hear it and have contact with it.
On the first day of March, I pay my respects to Fengzao Palace.
Today the two Empress Dowagers will go to Cheng'an Temple to pray for blessings.
So the queen had basically no time to waste here and went straight to Taiji Palace.
After the two Queen Dowagers arrived, Qi Yixiu and the Queen led everyone to see them off.
They have to stay in Cheng'an Temple for at least half a month.
After seeing off the two Empress Dowagers, everyone went back.
As soon as Shen Chuliu returned, he saw that the emperor's reward had arrived.
She was still a little stunned, and La Yue smiled and said, "I congratulate Concubine Jing on her birthday. This is a gift from the Emperor."
Shen Chuliu suddenly realized that this was the first time: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. Thank you for your help."
Laba smiled and left with the purse.
What was delivered were two wooden boxes, one large and one small. When the large one was opened, it turned out to be a piece of wood.
Yes, it looks like a root carving, but it is not. Instead, it is a tree with lush branches and smooth polished white surface.
Not only that, there is something hanging on every branch.
Bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, and some hollow branches are used to insert hairpins or hairpins.
"Oh! Is this a jewelry stand?" Zi Rui was very surprised: "It can also be placed on the table, so that it will be very convenient for you to use it."
"This is a clever idea." Shen Chuliu laughed: "What kind of wood is this?"
After Zhemei looked at it, she said, "It is a ginkgo tree, a tree that symbolizes longevity. Congratulations, my master. The emperor wants you to live a long and beautiful life."
Shen Chuliu laughed and asked someone to open the smaller one. She saw another exquisitely carved sandalwood box inside the small box.
When I opened it again, I saw twelve identical wax pills.
"What is this?" Zi Rui was curious and saw a note under the box.
When I unfolded it, I saw it was a prescription.
Zhemei took it and smiled: "Master, this is a priceless treasure!"
"What is it?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"It's Shangyan Dingkun Dan." Zhemei said with a smile.
Zi Rui was puzzled: "Why is Dingkun Pill so valuable? Isn't it a very common medicine?"
Although it is a medicine specially supplied to the inner court, almost all the masters can have it.
Some slaves who are more respectable can eat it if their masters give it to them. It is mainly used to regulate women's qi and blood and uterus, and it is not a magical medicine.
"It's not an ordinary Dingkun Pill. Shangyan Dingkun Pill contains dead herbs, which are very rare. Just the ground saltpeter alone is rare. This medicine can also nourish the skin, but it is not as harmful as the Jiaoyan Pill that the master has been exposed to in the past. This Shangyan Dingkun Pill is not overbearing, but rather gentle and conditioning. It can give people a good complexion and make people's qi and blood flow smoothly. The older the person, the more beneficial it is. But there is one thing, people with weak bodies should not take it, otherwise something bad will happen."
"Now that you mention it, this is really rare." Zi Rui said happily.
