Chapter 23 The Prince's Failed Rebellion 23
After leaving Chenhua Palace and teaching Susie how to massage, Zhang Xiaojia planned to return to the imperial mausoleum. She could leave the mausoleum at any time. She planned to visit her aunt every ten days. She suddenly found it funny. She could call her aunt or mother whatever she wanted. Fortunately, she was favored and no one punished her.
She wanted the imperial farm to conduct a small experiment, which was not considered as interfering in government affairs.
When she stepped into the Gongchui Hall, she was quickly summoned in.
Facing the left and right prime ministers, the Privy Councilor, the Three Commissioners, the Imperial Physician Hu, several imperial physicians, and the Chief Censor, Zhang Xiaojia didn't know where to begin for a moment.
The emperor thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you think of the treatment of cholera in Rongcheng?"
This was a matter of government affairs and had nothing to do with her. Zhang Xiaojia lowered her eyes, appearing unusually well-behaved.
The emperor waited for a long time, but saw no response from Zhang Xiaojia. He couldn't help but look up at her, wondering in his heart: What on earth is this damn girl thinking?
"Lin'an, I want to ask you, what is your opinion on the cholera in Chengdu?" the emperor asked again.
Zhang Xiaojia looked up at the emperor, then glanced at the ministers, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't ask you to meddle in government affairs. I just wanted to know if you have any treatment for cholera."
Zhang Xiaojia then slowly said, "The first step is to boil two kilograms of water, add one tablespoon of salt and six tablespoons of sugar, and have the patient drink it to restore their strength. The second step is to boil a medicinal juice with Chinese gallnut, ginseng, and white atractylodes, and have the patient drink it. The third step is to cupping at the Tianshu, Zhongwan, and Zusanli acupoints. This will basically cure cholera."
Cholera is a disease that enters the body through the mouth. Therefore, all food consumed must be boiled; raw water should not be consumed. Seafood and other foods must be cooked thoroughly and not eaten raw. Wash hands before and after meals, and maintain a clean and disinfected environment.
For areas affected by cholera, it is best to use lime milk for disinfection. Ensure that every corner is evenly covered, leaving no dead corners. Especially for feces and sewage, lime milk can be stirred or splashed to ensure full contact with the pathogens.
Lime milk must be prepared before use and should be used immediately after preparation to avoid it becoming ineffective.
Also, this isn't about interfering in politics, it's just a family medical discussion. "Brother, I'm broke. Can you give me your imperial farm in the suburbs of Beijing for two years to play with?"
Veins bulged on the emperor's forehead. He suppressed his anger and told himself to ignore her last words.
"How to make lime milk?" asked the prime minister.
Zhang Xiaojia glanced at the prime minister and said, "If I tell you this, it will become a political matter and I will be reported by the Chief Censor, but I told the emperor that it was just a casual chat."
The Chief Censor was also depressed when he heard it, because what Zhang Xiaojia said was true, and they needed it, but they couldn't ask the princess. It was the law that the backyard could not interfere in politics. He really didn't know what to say.
"Huangzhuang as medical fee?" Zhang Xiaojia blinked.
"Give me half of the grain in the imperial farm." said the emperor.
"Impossible, at most 30%. I came up with this lime milk ratio after many experiments. The experiments cost a lot of money.
The specific production method is: use two pounds of quicklime and seven pounds of water to make slaked lime powder (note that this process will generate heat, so be careful when operating to avoid burns). Then add two pounds of water to the slaked lime to prepare the required concentration of lime milk to kill the cholera virus.
After hearing this, the emperor waved his hand and said, "You may leave now. I need to discuss state affairs with my ministers."
After crossing the river, he destroyed the bridge and went to look for his aunt.
"Don't look for mother if there is nothing wrong." The emperor blocked the retreat.
Zhang Xiaojia left dejectedly with his head down.
After leaving the palace, he saw the Wude Sishi again, and he also saw the Princess of Lin'an walking out of the palace alone.
I accepted my fate and gave her a horse, but I thought to myself that I shouldn't give her another one next time.
Zhang Xiaojia rode slowly. You can't ride too fast here, or you'll get caught. She was riding according to the law, but how could the powerful follow the law? Besides, if others saw her riding in the middle of the road, she would be even more arrogant.
There was the sound of galloping horses behind them, but Zhang Xiaojia didn't care at all. Who in the capital would dare to mess with her? Was she tired of living? She looked at the ice cream and swallowed her saliva, but her period was coming and she couldn't eat it.
Zhang Xiaojia was nearly knocked away, but was protected by the secret guards. He saw four young masters and ladies on horseback being dragged off their horses.
The eldest sons of Duke Qin and Duke Qing, and the eldest daughter of Duke Wei turned pale when they saw that it was Zhang Xiaojia.
Wei Jingxuan screamed in her heart, "It's over! I didn't check the almanac before going out. If she had known that it would offend her, she should have gone to lecture with her father.
Zhang Xiaojia said arrogantly, "Settling it privately or going to the government office?"
Qin Xiao, Qing'an, and Wei Jingxuan said in unison: "County Princess, let's settle this privately." Prince Jing is now guarding the imperial mausoleum, so he called Zhang Xiaojia the County Princess.
Princess Chang'an said unconvincedly, "Cousin, it was clearly her who was riding in the middle of the road, so slowly."
"The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty state: On important commercial thoroughfares, horsemen must ride at a speed comparable to that of ordinary people to prevent collisions. Violators will be punished with five strokes of the cane and a fine of ten taels of gold."
Wei Jingxuan immediately knew that they were calling her "County Lady." Princess Chang'an didn't know she was Zhang Xiaojia, so she quickly said, "Lin'an County Lady, Princess Chang'an just arrived in Beijing and doesn't understand much. Let's settle this privately."
Zhang Xiaojia chuckled twice. Although she and Princess Chang'an's mother were more than ten years apart, their relationship was not very good! She was the eldest princess's child! But she was a junior, so she was too lazy to argue with her.
"The three of you will come to the imperial farm outside the capital on the first day of October and work for me for five months. Is that okay with you? Otherwise, I will have a talk with the Duke!" Zhang Xiaojia threatened
"No objection, let's do it."
Zhang Xiaojia waved his hand, signaling them to go first.
Princess Chang'an asked in confusion: "Are you afraid of her?"
"We were all in the Imperial Academy. When she was about to be called Master of the House, she called the Crown Prince. She always said that an eldest brother is like a father."

Zhang Xiaojia took care of his aunt in the capital for ten days before returning to the imperial mausoleum in a carriage. After returning to Shouyin Palace, He Fei was actually assigned the task of inspecting the imperial mausoleum.
Zhang Xiaojia sat on the chair at the desk and saw the Buddhist scriptures divided into August, September, October... They were all written by He Fei during the days she was away!
It looks like He Fei is starting to get busy. It's time for her to sow the fields next time, and she will also have to get busy.
Zhang Xiaojia came to the cellar and saw a lot of food, all of which were kept fresh with talisman paper. He Fei was indeed a big shot, and she envied him! They had both been in the end-time immortal cultivation world. In another world, she would not be able to use it, but He Fei could use it.
Look at this food, it’s enough for her to eat for a long time.
Just as Zhang Xiaojia was about to take some ice cream, He Fei stopped her.
"Jia Jia, I learned an ancient poem, but I only remember the last two lines: 'The wine grows stronger, and spring thoughts drift away; the mandarin duck quilt is rippled by the crimson waves.'"
