Chapter 50: Tanabata
The palace maid named Wan Yue was ordered to go out, and soon, a middle-aged man in an official uniform was invited. +
"Niangniang, Lord Xu has arrived."
Concubine Chen lay softly on the couch, separated by a thin layer of gauze, half-squinting. After the imperial doctor saluted, he only slowly stretched out a slender hand.
The palace maid on the side stepped forward and gently tied a thin thread on her snow-white wrist.
"Lord Xu, my mother suddenly fainted this morning, and I don't know why, so I have to ask you to come and take a look."
Imperial Physician Xu held the other end of the thin line outside the account, and after a long while, he muttered with his eyebrows:
"Concubine Chen's pulse is stable, and her body should be fine. It's just that it's hard for Xia Guan to see for a while, why Niangniang suddenly fainted......"
"By the way, Niangniang just changed the sachet today. Look, is there something wrong with this sachet? ”
Wan Yue stepped forward as she spoke, handing him the sachet in her hand.
"This sachet ......" Imperial Physician Xu took the sachet, took it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and his eyes seemed to light up. Then he poured out the medicinal herbs filled in the sachet, put them in his palm and looked through them carefully for a long time, and then revisited the news.
Wan Yue stood aside and watched his movements, and couldn't help but ask softly:
"Lord Xu, is there anything special about this sachet?"
"According to the lower officials, there should be no problem with the sachet." Imperial Physician Xu shook his head and said, "It's just something that was put into the sachet, in addition to the ordinary calamus, angelica, Huoxiang, tonka, Chuanxiong and other medicinal materials, I didn't expect to add some sylvestris leaves." ”
"What is this ginseng leaf for?"
"Radix ginseng is a good thing for detoxification and heat clearing, and its leaves have a strange fragrance, which not only has the effect of driving sleeplessness and dreams, but also cures polydipsia, tongue, astringent eyes, and faintness."
Doctor Liu stroked his beard, sniffed the medicinal herbs in his palm, and said in admiration:
"Such a good medicine, I didn't expect to put it in the sachet together with other medicinal herbs, so that the sachet not only smells refreshing. Wearing it on the body, presumably the effect of dispelling wind and cold, opening and dissipating knots is also excellent. ”
No wonder...... This sachet always smells better than the others, and sure enough, it is the hands and feet in it.
Wan Yue seemed to understand what she heard, and then asked: "In that case, then Niangniang's body should not be caused by this sachet?" ”
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Xu nodded and said, "Concubine Chen's mother must be just a little weak, and the lower officials will prescribe more prescriptions to warm and replenish qi later." If you feel unwell again, please take a look at it again. ”
"You're too doctored."
Wan Yue nodded with a smile and sent Imperial Doctor Xu out of the door.
Concubine Chen, who had been lying on the floor, finally opened her eyes and sat up lazily.
Unexpectedly, this Concubine Yi was silent, in order to please the emperor, she really wasted some thoughts.
It's a pity that a woman who can be married by herself also wants to compete for favor with this palace?
Concubine Chen took the sachet from the palace maid's hand again, raised the corners of her mouth, and the look in her eyes became more and more excited.
Three days later, the begging festival came as scheduled.
At that time, the whole of Kyoto was full of lights and bustling.
According to the customs of the Yuan Kingdom, on this day, the girl's family wants to give her favorite object a handmade sachet, so even in the palace, it is naturally no exception.
At this time, the lanterns were also hung in the palace, and the emperor personally set up a banquet on the star-picking platform, and all the ladies and beauties who were hidden in the depths of the harem in the past also showed up.
Song Yuyan was dressed in a phoenix robe and sat beside Gao Yan in a dignified posture. Glancing at Bai Sang, who still looked clear, sitting with her was Concubine Hui Ning Chumei. The two talked a few words from time to time, and seeing that Concubine Hui looked intimate, I don't know when the two got along so well.
Concubine Chen sat opposite Concubine Hui, wearing a tender yellow colored gauze skirt, with a smile on her face all the time, which became more and more bright and moving.
At the table, the fireworks inadvertently entered the sky, and the sky was suddenly gorgeous. The sound of fireworks in my ears was mixed with the excited cheers and conversations of the crowd.
In a trance, I vaguely heard someone's low sigh.
After the banquet was dispersed, Gao Yan returned to the left hall, and there were already palace maids with wooden plates waiting there, presenting the sachets that the palace ladies had previously offered.
Gao Yan entered the hall, first looked at it casually, and when he walked past one of them, the father-in-law next to him deliberately mentioned:
"Your Majesty, this is the queen's."
Gao Yan took a closer look, then nodded, his expression as usual. Still walking slowly, his gaze swept over the sachets of different colors in turn, and finally stopped and landed on one of them:
"Which palace lady did this?"
The father-in-law who was following on the side saw it and hurriedly responded: "Back to the emperor, this sachet is from the hand of Concubine Chen of Zhaonuan Palace." ”
"Oh?"
Gao Yan seemed a little surprised.
This small sachet is delicate and delicate, with the light yellow color of the body, which is very outstanding at a glance. It can be seen that it took a lot of effort, but I really can't see that it came from the pampered concubine.
Gao Yan picked up the sachet and sniffed it, closed his eyes and smiled. After a pause, he turned his head and asked:
"Which one was sent by Huaqing Palace?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is this."
Gao Yan's gaze shifted to the plain sachet on the other side. It's a pity that among the many sachets, this one has nothing unusual about its appearance and taste, and it is difficult to please him.
Gao Yan retracted his gaze, turned around, and said in a deep voice, "I want this." ”
Zhao Nuan Palace.
The night had fallen, and a famous palace maid hurriedly entered the hall with her skirt, and said with a happy face: "Niangniang, the slave maid has received the news." The emperor not only accepted your sachet, but also turned over your cards tonight. ”
Concubine Chen was overjoyed in her heart, and curled the corners of her lips:
"Yunyue, serve the palace to bathe."
She raised her hand, looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, and smiled triumphantly.
Hmph, what Concubine Yi, the most favored person in this harem is naturally the main palace.
