Chapter 145: Lotus Root
After lunch, the rain became more and more intense. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Murong Wei was not worried about Gu Chenxiao's injury, so she sent the imperial doctor to come and ask.
The imperial physician surnamed Xia who accompanied him this time was the person who was mentioned by Queen Chu when the Tai Hospital changed blood at the beginning of this year. At that time, the deceived Cui Yuanju was his father's student, and the two were still brothers in the same school.
When Imperial Physician Xia heard the summons of the princess, he didn't dare to slack off, and walked all the way through the verandah with an umbrella. Because of the rain and the sudden wind, although he was careful, the hem of his shirt was still splashed with rain.
Walking all the way to Murong Wei's bedroom, a palace man standing outside took the umbrella in his hand, and handed him a handkerchief, telling him to dry his clothes, lest he make a mistake in etiquette in front of the princess.
Through the nine rosewood screens, Murong Wei didn't bother to pay attention to whether Imperial Physician Xia's appearance was upright, and only patiently listened to his detailed report on the wounded: "An arrow in the back was injured in the shoulder blade, and I am afraid that I will not be able to dance the sword for some days." The knife on the calf was very shallow, and the muscles and bones were not moved, and the good gold medicine was applied, and it would be good for a few days. ”
Murong Wei was speechless for a long time, Imperial Physician Xia waited in panic, he had limited time to enter the palace, and he rarely had the opportunity to meet the nobles, lest he lose the official position of the Tai Hospital he had just obtained if he was not careful, and he only dared to hang his head to look at the rosette crane incense burner beside him.
The furnace should be burned with lily incense to calm the nerves. The fragrance is sweet and light, curling Nana, and a wisp of white gas is like the rain and mist outside the window, so that Imperial Doctor Xia can't understand the princess's deep meaning.
Imperial Physician Xia stood for a moment, the incense was about to burn out, Murong Wei's pale pink Kodan nails gently tapped the lid of the glazed jade gold thread cup, making a crisp sound, and only after a while did he slowly speak: "The injured... It was originally my friend, but there was a misunderstanding when I came, so I hurt myself. The meaning of this palace, this matter ends here, you must remember that there are no villains who trespass on Qinglian Terrace, and you have not treated anyone's injuries. ”
It turned out that it was for this year, Commander Xia had already ordered to be sealed, and the princess specially summoned herself, and Imperial Doctor Xia hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, and did not ask a word.
Whether it is the royal family or the family, there are some unexplained secrets, speaking of which, this Xiao Xia Imperial Doctor has learned some principles of life because his father suffered the loss of the Cui Yuan back then.
Knowing that more is better than less, Imperial Doctor Xia thought that he had been admitted to the Tai Hospital by the emperor's grace, and his mother had just been named an Anren, and the days were prosperous, and the family still wanted to spend the day safely, and never confide out a word if they shouldn't say it.
I have also heard a little that this time the Tai Hospital found out Cui Yuanju and others because a miracle doctor named Luo Nayan cured the Empress Dowager's illness. And although this miracle doctor is from the old mansion of Xia Ge, he is secretly recommended by Murong Wei.
Since this is the case, Murong Wei has the grace of rebuilding his family, and Imperial Physician Xia wanted to understand this section, so he calmly replied and recounted Gu Chenxiao's injury in detail.
Imperial Physician Xia could hear the princess's soft Wu Nong's soft words as thin as the rain outside the window, and he was misty, but he asked himself, "What are the taboos for the injured to eat?"
Doctor Xia bowed down and replied: "Avoid spicy and stimulating things, the minister has instructed the small kitchen, these days are rice porridge and green vegetables and chicken soup stewed over low heat, every day Li Chen personally inspected, never use coriander and eggplant hair." About this son, he doesn't like meat, and he never uses the bowl of chicken soup that replenishes his qi every day. ”
Listening to Murong Wei's careful questioning, and deliberately told himself, Imperial Physician Xia unconsciously changed his title, and respected Gu Chenxiao's son. Waiting to be tactfully reminded, the implication is naturally chicken soup to replenish qi, this son does not need it, if the recovery is slower, it is understandable.
Murong Wei didn't pay attention to Imperial Doctor Xia's Xiao Jiujiu, and personally asked if there was any major problem, so she put her mind at ease and motioned to Yingluo to send Imperial Doctor out.
Yingluo received the order, handed a purse to Doctor Xia, said to him the hard work, and made a gesture of please. A little palace maid had already opened the curtain and sent Imperial Doctor Xia out.
Gu Chenxiao once personally said to Murong Wei that because of his mother concubine Xiao Chicken, he never ate chicken, but he didn't want to even use the chicken soup to replenish qi.
Murong Wei thought about the hot spring living water of Qinglian Terrace, there are lotus lotus roots all year round, and the lotus root is also a good thing to stop bleeding and nourish qi. Around this season, lotus roots are rare, and the imperial doctor and the small kitchen are reluctant to use it on an injured person.
Three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus incense.
It should be in the last autumn of Kangnan, Gu Zhengnuo took the queen and Concubine De to climb Jingshan to enjoy the laurels. There was no one in the palace, and Gu Chenxiao took advantage of the summons of Concubine Jun to take her to Miluo Fudi to see the osmanthus and lotus ponds he planted.
The freshly dug lotus root stewed soup was delicious and fragrant, and Gu Chenxiao personally cooked for her that day, drinking self-brewed osmanthus wine.
It was also on that day that she indulged herself. When Gu Chenxiao's hands opened to her, the only time she snuggled into his arms.
Asking what is the situation in the world is only a promise of life and death.
"Ah Wei, would you like to go away with me?" In the hazy drunken eyes, it seemed that Gu Chenxiao's lips brushed her ear, and she had asked like this.
I can't remember how to answer at the time, but I remember the tears that slipped down my cheeks flowed into my mouth, with salty bitterness, grief and sadness.
With only a simple hug, Gu Chenxiao paid for her for the rest of her life without hesitation. Murong Wei never wanted to admit that she had true feelings for him, but she was afraid that she was too guilty and didn't dare to think about the rest of her life with him.
The gentle aftertaste between her lips and teeth, vaguely the smell of lotus root that year, Murong Wei's eyelashes drooped, covering her slightly damp eyes.
Restrained her emotions, Murong Wei instructed Yingluo according to the taste of that year: "Speaking of the small kitchen, choose tender pork leg bones, take the lotus root that has just been dug up, less salt and less water, and make a can of fragrant broth, which will be used for dinner." Then choose some good lotus root, add egg custard and diced meat to make the filling, wrap some small dumplings, and serve them together. ”
The princess didn't like to eat lotus roots, so she came to Qinglian Terrace for a few days and didn't think much of Mama Ye's recommendation. This command was probably given to the one lying in the annex. The master's thoughts, Yingluo was smart not to guess, she answered, and then sent someone down to spread the word, and served Murong Wei to change her clothes.
When Gu Chenxiao woke up again, it was already Dusk Cloud Sihe, and he felt hungry. Looking around, he saw that the little eunuch who served him was not there, and that the lamp had been turned on in the room, and the fire on the candlestick was dim and glowing with a gentle light.
Counting the hours, it was time for dinner, and the bowl of chicken soup ordered by the imperial doctor was originally a good thing to nourish, but he never ate chicken, and he spoiled something.
Every time he smelled the thick aroma of chicken soup in the crockpot, Gu Chenxiao was a little speechless, and directly gave it to the two little eunuchs to eat.
As soon as the door curtain moved, it was about the little eunuch who came back with food. Gu Chenxiao got up slowly, leaned on his body with a large pillow, and half leaned on the couch. Then, someone lifted the curtain from outside, and the little eunuch walked in with a food box in his hand. (To be continued.) )
