Chapter 35 What are the ingredients?



"My sister was fine before, but she became ill the next day after she started studying the law. Isn't this due to overusing her brain?"

The emperor's words made sense, and he sighed sincerely: "How can my sister be a good student?"

Then he stayed for a while and returned to the palace.

Wen Yu was fed medicine and her whole face wrinkled in bitterness.

But the medicine was indeed effective quickly. After half an hour, the fever was gone and he could open his eyes a little to recognize people.

She huddled in bed, shivering, and said tremblingly, "Damn it, I'm screwed, my body is made of paper..."

Her iron bones were gone just like that?

After Wen Yu’s fever subsided, she had been ill for a whole week.

She felt very cold every day and huddled in the quilt shivering, even charcoal fire brought to the bedside was of no use.

Wen Yu huddled up and looked at the charcoal fire: "Do you know what it feels like when the King of Hell blows a cool breeze behind your head? I know..."

Now only the expression QAQ can describe her mood at this moment.

Wen Yu was still unwilling to take the medicine, which made Liu Chun and the others very anxious. They kept persuading her, "Princess, if you don't take the medicine, how can your illness be cured?"

Wen Yu wrapped herself in a quilt and swore to die rather than obey. The medicine of the Great Sheng Dynasty was really disgusting!

She originally thought that this medicine was the traditional Chinese medicine she knew. When it was served, it looked exactly the same, black in color, and smelled exactly the same, bitter.

This disease was so uncomfortable that she finally convinced herself and mustered up the courage to take a sip, but ended up spitting it out.

No matter how unpalatable or bitter Chinese medicine is, it still has the texture of water. However, the medicine of the Great Sheng Dynasty only looks like water, but actually tastes like a mouthful of stale thick phlegm.

When she thought of this, Wen Yu felt nauseous.

In comparison, Chinese medicine has become fine wine!

"I actually just have a cold now. My body is too weak, so the reaction is severe. But colds are self-limiting diseases and will get better in seven or eight days."

She made a bitter face and explained seriously: "You can get better by taking medicine, or not taking medicine. Even dogs won't eat the medicine you make."

Then I thought that Yue Lingfeng didn’t want to see a doctor. Was it because he didn’t want to take this medicine?

Upon hearing this, Liuchun and the other three looked at each other, really at a loss.

By the time Wen Yu fully recovered and started to be full of energy again, it was time for the New Year's banquet.

The New Year's Banquet is a state banquet, held regularly every year. Officials of the fifth rank and above in the Sheng Dynasty must attend with their family members and wives.

And this position of female relative is the one that the daughters of official families fight hard to get.

After all, except for special circumstances, the annual New Year's banquet was their only chance to show up in front of the emperor and the court officials.

If they could receive praise and rewards from the emperor at the New Year's banquet, they would have an aura of superiority around them.

Liu Chun said: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, I wonder how many young ladies would like to enter the palace and become queens."

Wen Yu shuddered: "Let's not do that."

Liuchun: ...

Ever since she learned that the New Year’s Eve dinner was not a New Year’s Eve dinner but something like a super Spring Festival Gala, Wen Yu was no longer very interested in it.

She could foresee how boring this New Year's party would be.

Liu Chun smiled and said, "Princess, you may not know that during the few days you were ill, Minister Li's family in the Ministry of Works made a big joke because of the New Year's banquet a few days ago."

Wen Yu perked up a little after hearing this: "Tell me about it."

"Minister Li has a concubine outside. The son born to him is two years older than his legitimate daughter, and the daughter born to him is the same age as his legitimate daughter. He also brought the concubine back to his house as his cousin and made her his legal wife."

"The concubine wanted her daughter to attend the New Year's banquet this year, so she had someone burn the leg of the legitimate daughter with charcoal, leaving a big scar, and she even spread the news around the mansion."

"The minister's wife was furious and reported Minister Li to the censor for favoring his concubine over his wife. When the emperor found out, he was furious and summoned Minister Li to the palace to give him a severe reprimand. He ordered him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, fined him three years' salary, and forbade him to attend this year's New Year's banquet."

Wen Yu listened with great interest. Isn't this just an audio novel about domestic intrigue?

But why does this method feel so low-level?

If you hurt the enemy by a thousand, you will lose eight hundred of your own.

At this time, Liu Qiu looked at the green skirt placed beside him and sighed: "Princess, do you really want to wear this? It's too green."

Wen Yu held a jade hairpin in her hand: "Not only do I have to wear green, I also want to wear green."

The main feature is green from head to toe.

After changing her clothes and arriving at the palace, Wen Yu went to see the emperor first.

When the emperor saw Wen Yu's strange green outfit, he was silent for ten seconds, and then he looked speechless.

He asked, "Sister, are you feeling better? Are you still feeling unwell?"

Wen Yu drank tea and was very comfortable: "No, I'm fine."

The emperor then asked, "How come my sister is so..."

Then he looked Wen Yu up and down.

Wen Yu stood up and turned around: "Isn't it pretty?"

Emperor: “…It looks good.”

But the key point is, what would make the princess look ugly in this outfit?

Wen Yu asked again: "Isn't it eye-catching?"

emperor:……

“Eye-catching.”

But it's too eye-catching, weirdly eye-catching.

After all, no one would wear such green from head to toe.

Wen Yu asked again: "Don't you feel the vitality? It means spring is coming!"

Emperor: "As long as my sister is happy."

There were still several hours before the New Year's Banquet officially began. Wen Yu felt bored staying with the Emperor, so she simply asked Liuchun to take her for a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

She had been to the palace several times, but had never been to the legendary imperial garden.

Seeing the beautiful girls gathered in the pavilion, Wen Yu thought that the novel was true. This imperial garden was indeed a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
