Chapter 112: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Su Chi used to be delicate and delicate, and his illness was like a mountain, but this time it was just some wind and cold, but it was not good because of poor recuperation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Yuan's post asking the imperial doctor was handed to the palace, but before it reached His Majesty's hands, Su Chi had been carefully taken into the Chongxi Palace by the concubine. There have been several generations of plain women living in the Chongxi Palace, which looks magnificent on the outside, with green tiles and red walls, but there are pure pear blossoms planted inside, which has both the graceful atmosphere of the royal family and the freshness and tranquility of the homeland.
Su Jiang gave Su Chi the Jingyue Pavilion on the west side, which is only separated by two corridors from the main hall where the concubine lives, but it is quieter and quieter than the front yard, and it is a good place to recuperate. Su Chi is the female dependant of the noble concubine's family, and the noble concubine is deeply favored by the emperor, and it is natural to live in the palace with a female dependent. It's just that everyone heard that it was the niece of the concubine, and they actually moved the little half of the hospital to Jingyue Pavilion, which made people dissatisfied.
Aunt Xingbai, the head of Chongxi Palace, personally gave several medicinal materials to Su Jiang, Su Jiang took off her golden fingers, brushed her green onion and white jade hand one by one, put it in front of her and sniffed, inspected and probed in the same wayγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» and finally checked the last one, and then calmed her hand under Xingbai's waiting.
Xingbai handed Su Jiang a towel, "Niangniang is so attentive, the girl will definitely recover as soon as possible." It's just that His Majesty instructed that Niangniang should also pay attention to her body, if the girl is well and Niangniang is sick again, how can it be good?" Xingbai knew that Su Jiang didn't like people who talked a lot, but Su Jiang did it himself these days, and it was very hard.
"Bengong is this age, even if he is sick, what does it matter? Ah Chizheng is young, but he is tortured like this by those ignorant things, why is Bengong not distressed?"
"Niangniang, who can match your beauty in the harem. The second lady was just jealous of the girl, first ruined the girl's reputation in the city, and then wanted to let their daughter in the second room take her place, but unfortunately she didn't have the life to give birth to a daughter. Relying on the past few days of intimacy with the four girls, he started the idea of the prince, and he was really overwhelmed. "Xingbai has been by Su Jiang's side for a long time, and she knows when to be respectful and when to be presumptuous.
"This palace doesn't bother to care what those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods think, but it shouldn't be, and it shouldn't be like this, and Achi's illness shouldn't be hung like this. Not only the second lady, but the Zhou family was even more hateful, and dared to join forces with her, but a concubine dared to snub the dignified concubine and the county lord of Qinci like this, and he really deserved to be killed!"
When Su Jiang said this, he softened a little: "This palace not only hopes that she will recover, but also wants to keep her in the palace, those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods of the Su family are really difficult." When the palace was at home, there was a sister-in-law to help deal with it, but now it's all up to Ah Chi. "Su Yuan misses his wife, Su Chi has such a favored and unique status, if the Su family has a Duchess as a hostess, Ah Chi is afraid that he will be unhappy. This child is sensitive by nature, and if it weren't for this, this illness would not have been bad for a long time.
"The concubine took the girl into the palace, it is very inconvenient for the prince and the prince to visit, the girl's illness has improved, why don't you send the girl home in a few days?"
"Send it back, let them send Ah Chi to Nanyuan again?" Su Jiang was very dissatisfied when he thought of Su Chi recuperating in a place like Nanyuan.
Xingbai was not good at persuading again, so he said in a roundabout way: "The girl is in this Jingyue Pavilion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes to visit every day, and it is not a way for you to push it every day." β
Su Jiang pulled out the jade scratch on his head and played with it, without saying a word, Xingbai had to retreat. Su Jiang sat aside and was silent, she sat down and walked towards Jingyue Pavilion, not that the palace didn't know, but it was so rare to be able to personally urge her to eat and drink like this, and watch her sleep peacefully?
My Achi, my Achi!
Under the care of the concubine, Su Chi's illness is getting better day by day, but no one mentioned sending her home, which seems to have become a tacit understanding that does not need to be said.
Su Chi lost his temper with Su Yuan, and the girl's grievances couldn't be spoken.
Su Jiang has his own selfishness, and the love of licking calves for many years is like wine, and the longer it is, the more mellow it becomes.
That day, Su Chi was having dinner with the concubine in Jingyue Pavilion, she was a person who didn't eat for lunch, but she didn't expect that her aunt had good cooking skills and frequently took care of her to eat.
Xingbai was on the side: "Since the girl came, our small kitchen has been used every day, and the mother cooks every day, but I'm afraid that the palace people in the kitchen will be rusty." Even His Majesty said that it was the girl's light that made him so good-tempered. "The side dishes made by vegetarian ginger are refreshing and fresh, and they are very useful for Su Chi who has drunk medicine for a long time, and I used to feel that my aunt was high and indifferent, but now I feel the pity and favor of my elders when I am sick.
Different from the few greetings from aunts or aunts at home, Su Jiang's care is unfamiliar but meticulous, and Su Chi faintly feels: Su Jiang is learning to take care of a patient again.
Su Chi obediently thanked the concubine: "If it weren't for my aunt, I don't know how long I would have been lying in bed." β
Su Jiang didn't like it on his face, and Su Chi quickly changed his words: "Thank you, aunt." It seems that Su Jiang is very concerned about this matter of asking her to change her name again.
Xingbai took a brocade box from the outside and offered it, Su Jiang opened it and took it out with his own hands, only to see a brocade book, Su Chi lowered his eyes to eat, and said nothing.
Su Jiang glanced at her inexplicably, and was very satisfied with her obedient feelings.
It just so happened that Su Chi's spoon fell to the ground, Su Chi stepped back, and Xingbai hurriedly cleaned up.
When a noble woman eats, she is most afraid to make a sound, Su Chi blushed and was very embarrassed, but she saw that the concubine's face was soft: "It's just a spoon, why is it so careless?"
Su Jiang personally wiped the stains on Su Chi's chest with that handkerchief, her demeanor was focused, gentle and kind, at this moment, she was not like the most noble woman in the harem, but like an ordinary woman, scolding her children in trivial matters.
Su Chi was stunned in his heart, but he heard that Su Jiang had recovered his expression, and read out a string of menus to Xingbai, the Taichang Su Chi in front had not yet come back to his senses, and the last one was "green onion and white tofu".
This is an extremely simple dish, just a home-cooked dish, but it scared Su Chi to lose her appetite, and the moment the spoon hit the ground, she took a step back, and she caught a glimpse that the brocade book was actually a menu.
The first from the right on the list is honey sugar soup.
I remembered what I had learned in ethnology: honey and green onions should not be eaten at the same time, and if you use them, you will die.
Su Chi's heart was shocked, the table full of dishes could not be eaten, and the things he had learned were repeated over and over again in his mindγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Stopping the cup and throwing the spoon can't eat, the deep palace is at a loss.
Su Chi looked at Su Jiang in front of him, his eyes were as bright as water, but between his eyebrows and eyes were fierce, but he had a different posture!
Su Chi was in a trance, but he heard a report from the eunuch outside the door: "Niangniang, the queen mother sent you a trip over." β
Su Jiang seemed to be ignorant, but Xingbai's voice was raised: "Big things can't disturb the mother's meal, where is the queen's warrant?"
Someone handed it in an instant, Xingbai glanced at Su Jiang and nodded, Su Jiang was still expressionless, Xingbai said sharply: "Big things can't disturb the mother's meal, since the queen mother has been summoned, I will bother my father-in-law to reply for us! β
The father-in-law was very hesitant, it was already getting dark, but the concubine was unhurriedly eating, and when it got dark, the queen mother would definitely blame.
Xingbai saw that her father-in-law was lying on the ground and didn't move, so she only smiled and said, "If your father-in-law doesn't leave, don't you want to stay in my Yuejing Pavilion to eat?"
The father-in-law was immediately frightened and trembling, and he wanted to urge the concubine but didn't dare, and he was afraid that he would be sent down by the queen to return to his life like this, so he didn't move.
Xingbai roared again: "Don't get out yet!"
The father-in-law was already frightened, and when he went out, he called the guard directly: "Drag it out, fight!"
Su Jiang didn't say a word from beginning to end, it seemed that it was hard to talk to such a person, and Su Ji only watched coldly. These days living in this Chongxi Palace, I really appreciate the difference that Su Jiang is called the first person in the harem, the things in demand in the palace are sent to the concubine first, His Majesty comes and goes to the Chongxi Palace as often as the south study, and the concubines dare to complain a few words to the middle palace, but they dare not speak in the face of the concubine.
What's more, in the hands of the concubine, there is still half a phoenix seal.
Su Jiang picked up the father-in-law, and was about to go out for a walk after dinner, but he didn't expect that the queen's people had already come to the Chongxi Palace.
Su Chi was walking out with Su Jiang, but there was already a burst of human voices outside, Su Jiang frowned, turned around and held Su Chi's hand: "You are recovering from a serious illness, you might as well go back and rest first." β
Su Chi looked at the people outside who were not good, the summer breeze outside the window was cool, blowing the candle candle and the candle was dim, Su Chi held her aunt's hand back: "The summer breeze is cool, such a good night, how can you live up to it?"
Su Jiang smiled elegantly and was very pleased: "Just look at it." β
By the time Su Jiang stepped into the main hall of Chongxi Hall with Su Chi, the queen had already sat firmly on her right hand, and the hall was full of silence and a solemn atmosphere.
Su Jiang didn't look at her, only looked at the man on the throne with a smile: "Your Majesty, is this Xingshi asking for guilt?" She didn't salute, only smiled, her voice was crisp, like a yellow bird, but it was extremely penetrating, and everyone in the hall looked at her.
The emperor's face was originally pale, but the smile on her face was also loosened by three points, but the queen suddenly said: "The concubine is really determined!"
Su Jiang laughed softly: "Where can I match the majesty of the queen!"
The queen has always been unsuccessful in her tongue, and at this moment she only called: "Bring someone up." β
Su Jiang was puzzled, but saw a little girl coming in from outside, an ordinary pink palace dress, who should be the personal maid of a low-ranking concubine.
The little girl came in and buckled her head straight to the emperor and the queen on the right, and the queen said: "You don't have to be afraid, just say what you said to your majesty and the palace in the Linxi Palace, and Your Majesty will make the decision for you." β
When the little girl saw the concubine at the door, she seemed to be greatly frightened, and her face was as white as paper in an instant, "This morning, the concubine ordered someone to send a bowl of honey and sugar soup, and my Jieyu has been particularly fond of sweets since she was pregnant." The honey in the palace of the concubine was paid tribute from the Western Regions, and it was cherished very much, and Jieyu was grateful to the concubine, so she drank the honey while it was hot. Who expected γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» who expected γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
When he said this, everyone looked at Su Jiang's face, but Su Jiang sneered, too lazy to look at the palace maid, looking bored.
The queen was even more angry when she saw her innocuous appearance, and His Majesty's eyes had already fallen straight on Su Jiang.
Su Chi stood behind Su Jiang, and the moment she heard the "honey sugar soup", her body stiffened, and her eyes looked at the people in the audience: Auntie, Queen Lou, and Your Majesty, pregnant Lin Jieyuγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» whose game is this? Who is the game in the game?
The palace maid said "Who expected" and stopped and turned her head to look at Su Jiang, Su Jiang's eyes looked straight at His Majesty, and she still smiled at the corners of her mouth, not caring at all.
Everyone had different thoughts, but Su Jiang's eyes were directly on His Majesty, and no one in the entire hall dared to speak out.
The girl turned her head to look at Su Jiang again, and only said hatefully: "Poor my Jieyu's child is only seven months old, Jieyu just drank the medicine for half an hour, and her abdominal pain did not stop, and the maid hurriedly sent someone to the Tai Hospital to invite Dr. Lin to come." β
Why did so many imperial doctors invite the surname Lin to come, everyone was puzzled, and the queen added: "Because Imperial Doctor Lin was the first to diagnose Lin Jieyu's happy pulse, and she had the same surname, the concubine made the decision to give Lin Jieyu a baby." β
His Majesty nodded at the top, and the little maid continued to plead: "The people from the Tai Hospital told the maid that the Imperial Doctor Lin was also passed to the Chongxi Palace by the concubine, and the maid couldn't, so she had to find another imperial doctor." Clinker: Those imperial doctors who are good at healing women were all invited to Chongxi Hall by the noble concubine Niangniang, and they could only find the Gu Taiyi on duty, and when the Gu Taiyi arrived, my Jieyu was already popular. β
This little maid sang and harmonized with the queen, but everyone understood the content.
I knew that the concubine was vicious, but I didn't know that she was so bold? Even pregnant women and babies didn't let go, and it didn't count the honey candy soup with "condiments" given to her, and she also used the excuse to withdraw the doctor from the hospital, and her vicious thoughts were very obvious!
Everyone's eyes were full of contempt, His Majesty did not have many concubines, but at this moment there was a little mockery, a little smugness, a little bit of the idea of watching a good show, and even more wanted to seize the opportunity to step on it.
The queen and the concubine, can one of them, the Su family can't be the queen and can't give birth to a son; the queen can't get the favor, who will be the winner in this war?
The eyes of the women changed between the queen and the concubine, and the concubine did not speak, and the scene was very unattractive.
So the girl with good things spoke: "The concubine is kind, this is the reward for Lin Jieyu, and there is no evidence of any crime, so I am afraid that it is inappropriate to identify the concubine of the dynasty with a girl's empty mouth." If this girl is unscrupulous, isn't she wronging a good person?"
Everyone looked at this woman, and the one who spoke was the youngest daughter of the Shen family, who entered the palace three years ago, and was crowned a beauty as soon as she entered the palace with her family background. Interestingly, three years later, she is still in the position of beauty. I don't know what to do with my mouth here and now?
At this time, even His Majesty glanced at Shen Meiren, who stood in the corner with her head slightly bowed, unable to see her face clearly.
The queen sneered in her heart: "Slut." β
