Chapter 93: Hibiscus

 “…… The prince said that the dinner was spread on the side of the water pavilion, with a table for men and women, and a singing platform was set up on the opposite side of the water pavilion, and a group of singers were invited to help the fun, and it is said that those songs are all new songs that have come out recently......

Xiao Si'er, who was squatting in the latrine, crumpled a ball of straw paper in his hand, hoping to soften it so that he would suffer less, but he didn't want to hear two footsteps outside, and the two seemed to be talking about tonight's meal.

"When it comes to listening to tunes, only His Royal Highness King Wei can do it!"

"Isn't it? Nowadays, the saint is very thrifty and self-disciplined, and he doesn't even dare to indulge in luxury too much with me up and down......

“…… Therefore, only by following His Royal Highness King Wei can we have such preferential treatment. ”

"It's just that I heard that this time I came to the Grange to say goodbye in advance for His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Huh?

"Have you forgotten? His Royal Highness the King of Jin was named the head of the state at the beginning of the founding of the country, and now he has become a relative to Princess Xiao Si, and it seems that more than half a year has passed, and he should go back to the state......

As the footsteps faded away, Xiao Sier also dressed up and walked out of the latrine, and looked in the direction where the sound had gone, only to vaguely see two trance-like figures on the path surrounded by greenery.

Are you going to merge with the state?

"Princess?" At this time, Xiao Tsubaki, who was waiting in the distance, greeted her.

"Is the prince going to Bingzhou?" Xiao Sier turned around and asked Xiao Chun.

"Huh?" Obviously, Xiao Si'er's question made Xiao Chun not come back to her senses for a while, but fortunately, she reacted quickly, but she really didn't know the answer to Xiao Si'er's question, "This slave doesn't know ...... either"

Xiao Sier nodded perfunctorily, raised his legs and walked towards the princess's courtyard, but he couldn't help but feel helpless, if only there was a loyal and clever girl by his side.

But this is just a momentary thought, because at the moment she is more concerned about the affairs of Concubine Yuan. Concubine Li's attitude today is really a little weird, not to mention the sudden closeness to her, it has only been half a day since the morning, and the two have become good friends while playing.

Xiao Sier knew that she was so close to Concubine Yuan because she wanted to leave a way back for herself, but Concubine Yuan's sudden closeness made her unable to understand what her intentions were for, so she could only follow her wishes and evoke her sisters affectionately.

After the lunch meal, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Yuan had the habit of resting at noon, so after talking for a while, they each went back to their respective resting places, but just when Xiao Sier took a nap and recuperated enough to get up, Concubine Yuan came to the girl, saying that the princess had invited her to sit in the courtyard over there.

The reason is that there is a bluestone in her yard, which is cold to the touch, and it is a god to relieve the heat, and she is invited to take a look, so Xiao Sier did not have the reason to refuse, but she felt discomfort in her abdomen halfway through, and it happened that there was a toilet nearby, so she squatted once.

This squatting also made her hear the news of a headache, and for a while the things in her heart were mixed up again, if Yang Guang was going to Bingzhou, she would definitely go with her, and what action she wanted at that time would be more and more difficult.

"Niangniang, shall we go in like this?" Xiao Sier thought about things, and soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the concubine was resting.

"Let's let the girl pass it through. By Xiao Chun's reminder, Xiao Sier came back to his senses, looked up at the courtyard and said to Xiao Chun.

"Yes" Xiao Chun responded, stepped forward and said to the girl at the door, the girl nodded, and hurriedly went to the house to report, and soon Mama Wang came out with two girls, Xiao Sier was polite to her and followed into the yard.

The courtyard where Concubine Yuan rested was much larger than hers, in addition to a few apricot trees full of apricots in the yard, she saw many well-trimmed precious flowers and trees.

Entering the small courtyard in front of me, passing through a small gate with hanging flowers, I was greeted by a few lush ancient cypress trees, which covered most of the yard through the sunlight and was very cool.

The middle of the ancient tree is opened by the green tile to pave a path, sometimes put some patterns, but very chic, and then go in for a while to see a huge hibiscus flower, and at this time the concubine and a few little girls are in the hibiscus flower under the hibiscus flower to pick the hibiscus flower.

"Hibiscus flowers are sweet and cool, and eating them can clear heat and cool blood, detoxify and nourish the skin. Concubine Yuan picked a purple hibiscus flower and put it in the basket carried by the palace maid on the side, and when Xiao Sier approached, she smiled and explained to her.

"There is such a saying in traditional Chinese medicine. Xiao Sier smiled back at her, pulled down a bunch of white hibiscus and sniffed at the tip of her nose, the fragrance of hibiscus flowers was very faint, and many times people could not tell whether it was the smell of plants or flowers, so she put the flower branch again.

"Traditional Chinese medicine also has this record?" Concubine Yuan stretched out her hand and pulled the flower branch that Xiao Sier had put on, and the silver scissors clicked and cut off the flower that Xiao Sier sniffed before, "I still listen to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

With Concubine Yuan's movements, Xiao Sier was slightly stunned, and a trace of vigilance surged up in his heart inexplicably, but when he looked at Concubine Yuan again, he felt that the expression on her face had not changed much, so he also smiled and said:

"It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that hibiscus flowers are sweet and bitter in taste, cool, non-toxic into the spleen and lungs, and start with the Taiyin and Yin meridians. It can treat dysentery, fever, eye disease, edema and other diseases. ”

Xiao Sier calmed down, the enemy didn't move, I didn't move, since they were all pulling this hibiscus flower, she continued according to her wishes.

And the reason why she knew the effect of this hibiscus flower was really not intentional on her part, but once when she went to the yoga teacher with her friend to practice yoga, the yoga teacher made them a pot of hibiscus tea and conscientiously told them about the effect of this hibiscus flower.

Therefore, Xiao Sier, who has always been studious, wrote down this stubble by mistake, but she didn't expect it to come in handy for her at this time.

"I heard that the princess knows a lot about the art of Qihuang, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes today. Concubine Yuan smiled kindly and handed the silver scissors in her hand to the palace maid behind her.

"Don't say that, the crown princess, I just know a little bit of skin, it's hard to be elegant, it's hard to be elegant!" Xiao Sier instinctively took a step back as Concubine Yuan approached, and just retreated to the side of the bluestone platform, but he didn't want to happen to have a girl walking over with a tray at this time. )
