Chapter 117 The recipe of cinnamon soup
Wei Guifei was holding her head at the moment, lying on the couch tiredly, her phoenix eyes seemed to be closed, and she had a unique style. Hearing the noise outside the hall, she had already guessed that it was the queen.
She pulled a strand of green silk loosely behind her ear, and smiled at the eldest grandson queen who bypassed the screen: "Why is Niangniang suddenly interested in coming here?" β
Empress Changsun was supported by Xiao Zheng to the side of the couch, sat down affectionately and said: "The palace was going to Taiye Pool at the beginning, and I came over when I heard the loud noise here." Outside, I heard from your personal maid that you had rubella, so you did not go to the palace for several days to ask for peace. Have you been getting better lately? Have you taken decoction to recuperate? She held Wei Guifei's hand, and the concern on her face could pinch out the water.
Of course, Wei Guifei knew that the queen mother would not really want her well, so she politely pulled out her finger and said with a detached smile: "Female Doctor Xiao has come to see her, and she said that she can slowly get better if she doesn't come out of the wind." β
Seeing this, Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyebrows, folded a pair of well-maintained hands, and elegantly placed them on her abdomen and said, "Female Doctor Xiao just took office this year, and it is inevitable that she will lack experience. She bowed her head to Qin Ying, who was standing on the side, motioned for Qin Ying to come forward, and said, "Qin Ying is my son's doctor, although he is still young, his ability is unquestionable. How about he see it for you again? β
Seeing that Qin Ying had already walked to the couch, Wei Guifei had no choice but to nod stiffly in response. She sneered in her heart and thought: The queen's two-faced and three-sided style is really perfect.
After entering the hall, Qin Ying bowed silently, stood up and went to the corner of the Yanjia Palace, quietly watching the open and secret battle between the queen and the concubine.
Finally, when she heard the queen call herself, Qin Ying approached the couch and knelt down without squinting, and did not lose her faux pass during the period to tilt her gaze to the concubine Niangniang.
Since she is a woman dressed as a man, she must abide by the etiquette of male and female defense.
With Wei Guifei's approval, Qin Ying pretended to be cautious and looked Wei Guifei's face up and down.
Wei Guifei is thirty years old this year, but she is not the slightest bit old. There are only a few shallow wrinkles at the tips of the eyes. Because her facial features were so good, the countless red spots on her face were abrupt, and the rubella on her cheeks and forehead ruined the beauty she should have.
"Has Niangniang had a spicy diet lately?" After Qin Ying confirmed Cheng DΓΉ of rubella, she turned her eyes away. After all, she knew that for the ladies of the harem, it was embarrassing to be seen and described by men other than His Majesty.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Qin Ying is just a child with a general horn who has not yet tied his hair.
Wei Guifei shook her head, pulled the crepe sleeve of the big blouse with one hand, and said, "Never eat spicy." β
"The palace also remembers that every time the concubine is in the palace banquet, she doesn't touch the mutton coated with spices." Empress Eldest Sun testified for the concubine, it was not that the queen observed carefully, but when His Majesty glanced at Wei Guifei, the queen also looked at him a few times.
"How many days ago did rubella start?" Qin Ying asked again.
Wei Guifei's personal maid took a step forward and said, "It was the afternoon three days ago. In the morning, the hairpin lady just put her cheeks on her mother, and the lady was suspicious of the hairpin lady. β
Qin Ying kept this information in his heart before he said, "Can you let Qin take a look at the rouge and incense that the concubine has been using for ten years?" She thought for a moment and added, "The soap horns used in bathing and cleansing are also needed." β
The concubine waved her hand and asked the two maids to take it according to Qin Ying's words. A maid entered the side hall and whispered to the people around her: "Niangniang has been using the rouge from the south since the spring of this year, and it will definitely not be its problem." β
"yes. And the minister was so bold that he dared to open his mouth to ask for the concubine's private belongings. The other maid said in pieces.
"I can't afford to provoke that foreign minister with your humble status, so I hurriedly packed up the rouge incense and sent him soap ointment." The goose-egg-faced maid who was the first to speak chose a small case and put the things that Qin Ying pointed out just now in turn.
During this period, Qin Ying was not idle, asking about the spirit and appetite of the concubine, drinking water and relieving her hands. The concubine was blushed by Qin Ying's question several times, but because Qin Ying was invited in by the eldest grandson empress, Wei Guifei did not look at the monk's face but also looked at the Buddha's face, and obediently responded.
After waiting for less than a moment, the two maidservants came on foot with broken incense cases. They knelt on the edge of the couch and raised their eyebrows to present to Qin Ying.
Qin Ying casually chose a round box, the vermilion rouge appeared in front of her, she lightly glued it with her fingers, leaned close to her nose and sniffed, Qin Ying shook her head.
Then she opened the triangular Fushan furnace made in imitation of the Han system, scooped a little agarwood incense into the furnace with a incense spoon, and lit it skillfully, and after a while, the elegant and delicate taste diffused around everyone.
Empress Eldest Sun is a clear-eyed person, she keenly sees that Qin Ying knows how to burn incense, this Qin Ying can not only pray for the prince, but also acupuncture and other medical skills, and now Qin Ying has also revealed the kung fu of burning incense.
ββHow much talent does Qin Ying have when he came from outside the square?
Seeing Qin Ying checking the various wooden boxes in turn, and shaking her head one after another, the hairpin lady's heart was already half cold.
Ripple clutched the belt of her hand tightly, her knuckles glowing white, and her nails sprinted into her palms, marking deep marks.
She was worried about the hairpin girl, and she was even more worried about herself.
Since Empress Changsun knew that Wei Guifei had rubella, she was bound to find justice for Guifei. If Qin Ying can't find out the cause of rubella and clear up the grievances for the hairpin lady, the hairpin girl will be blamed by the queen and the concubine. Ripples, as the flower servant beside the hairpin lady, is also difficult to avoid punishment.
Qin Ying opened the box of red rouge again, she looked at the round lid, and finally laughed.
Everyone in the hall was stunned for some reason.
What's wrong with Qin Ying? Why did you laugh like this in such a strict atmosphere? The edict of the Hanlin Academy's medical treatment is really rude.
"-- Take pen and ink." Qin Ying put away his smile and stretched out his hand to the maids kneeling in front of him, the two maids had already raised the case with a sour hand, they heard Qin Ying's instructions, and hurriedly put down the incense case and went to the chest of drawers in the corner of the hall to get a pen and inkstone.
Empress Eldest Sun was next to Qin Ying, and as soon as she stretched out her head, she saw what Qin Ying wrote: "Guizhi soup is fried for five days." Peeled cinnamon branches, peony branches and leaves, cross-cut jujubes, and ginger slices are all grabbed according to the constant amount. Add half a tablespoon to the roasted licorice. β
Drying the handwriting of the just-written recipe and handing it to Wei Guifei's personal maid, Qin Ying called loudly: "I want to say some medical instructions to the patient alone, and ask everyone in the hall to leave first." β
The owner of Yanjia Hall was Wei Guifei, but now Empress Changsun got up and left without any objections, and the others dared to be angry and dared not speak, glaring at Qin Ying before going out.
In an instant, there were only two people in Yanjia Palace, Qin Ying and Wei Guifei. Qin Ying said with a kind and harmless smile: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and harming others will harm yourself, you are right, concubine Niangniang." β
"I don't know what you're talking about." Wei Guifei picked her nails and said casually with her eyes down.
Qin Ying's smile deepened: "Niangniang, you know that excessive cinnabar mixed into the medicine pot can kill people, but you don't know...... Cinnabar, the size of a sesame seed, mixed with rouge, can also cause a person's face to death. β
