Shu E knew that Yang Meiren had met with misfortune, but she didn't know how to explain it. It is even more inconvenient to ask more about the fire in Yuqing Zhaoying Palace that day, which caused Yang Meiren to be frightened and prematurely born. Shu E wanted to ask why Liu Zhi did not accompany him, and it was also inconvenient.

This day is like a day of joy and tiredness, so it starts a fuss. The nurse Wu said that she wanted to take the princess back to live with flowers and feed the princess, but when the child came up sleepy, he was blindly messing around, but he couldn't hold it back. Shu E hurriedly let the nurse and the princess go to her room.

Sure enough, after entering the inner room, Qian came out and whispered: "Hui beauty, the princess is already asleep." Mrs. Wu is with you. Sure enough, listening to the princess no longer crying outside, Shu E and Yang Meiren looked at each other and smiled.

Counting that it was almost time for the wine rice to enter the jar, Shu E instructed the small kitchen to bring the jar. Lilac and Zihao are both full of excitement, and Akane Tao is also watching interestingly.

Shu E asked Lilac to open the jar, and sure enough, a strong aroma of wine came to her nose. Shu E said happily: "It's done now." ”

Then he asked Lilac and Zihao to find gauze, a wooden spoon to wash and dry, an empty jar, and a grate for steaming and eating, and then scooped out the sake rice and wine in the jar one by one, and covered the net gauze on the empty jar, and then used gauze to drain the wine juice in the sake rice.

The pure sake juice is in the empty jar, and the wrung out sake rice is placed on top of the grate. It's just a big jar of secrets, but the amount of wine that drains out is very limited. A small jar is still half unfilled. The maids didn't know what Lu Dao Shu'e was doing, but they were just having fun with Lu Hee.

When the wine and rice were completely separated, Shu E asked the cloves to get the medicine. After a while, Lilac took the medicine, and when Shu E opened it, it was a small package carefully wrapped.

Shu E smiled: "Why did you pack so many bags?" ”

Zihao hurriedly smiled and said, "The slave maid showed the prescription to the Chinese medical officer, and the Chinese medical officer asked whether these medicines should be used immediately or later." The slave and the maid did not know what to do. The Chinese medical officer also said that these are aromatic drugs and cannot be mixed, for fear of smelling, he specially wrote on the prescription and told the pharmacy to pack it separately. ”

Shu E nodded, smiled at Lilac, and saw that Lilac's face was slightly red, and lowered her head. Shu E put all these herbs in the wine, and handed over the last packet of musk to the cloves to grind.

A penny of musk is only about the size of a finger, but the fragrance is very strong. When Lilac handed over the crushed musk to Shu E, Yang Meiren couldn't help but sneeze and said with a smile: "What a strong fragrance, what is it?" ”

Shu E smiled: "Musk." ”

Yang Meiren's face changed color for a moment, but she quickly smiled: "It's just a little bit, it's so fragrant." ”

Shu E smiled: "I just want to get some shell musk, who knows that it is musk kernel." Looking at the color and texture, it is the door. Although it is only a penny, the fragrance is not trivial. ”

"What does my sister want Musk to do?" Yang Meiren saw that Shu E put the mashed musk into the wine, and asked with a smile.

Shu E smiled: "It's not that Shu E deliberately hides from Sister Yang, it's just that this matter must be kept secret." In this way, everyone will be surprised when they see it in the future. ”

Yang Meiren smiled and asked slowly, "Am I also fortunate to be in its prime?" Shu E nodded, seeming very happy.

Then Shu E asked Zihao to take the grate to the yard to dry, and the cloves sealed the medicinal wine.

There was still about half of musk left in the paper bag in Shu E's hand, so she handed it to Hua Fu and said, "Keep it as a perfume medicine, I didn't expect the pharmacy to wrap it so well." ”

Shu E stood in the courtyard and watched everyone busy, and when she saw that it was not early, she said to Yang Meiren: "Sister, I'll have some casual dinner here tonight, how about it?" ”

Before Yang Meiren could agree, Shu E heard the sound of "cooing" from the trees in the north of the bamboo forest in the sky, but the sound was loud and urgent, as if she was frightened by something. Just in his panic, he heard the sound of fluttering overhead, and a pair of white doves flew away quickly through the bamboo forest.

Lilac had just sealed the wine and held it out, when she heard the pigeon's cry, looked at the pigeon and shouted, "Shu'e, look! ”

When Shu E saw these pigeons, she immediately remembered Miao Yuan. But then I thought that there was a place in Yujin Garden that was dedicated to raising birds and beasts, so it was not uncommon for some people to raise pigeons.

Shu E inadvertently turned her head, but saw Yang Meiren standing beside her with a slightly strange face. Shu E called "Sister Yang" softly, but Yang Meiren didn't seem to hear it, and only waited for Shu E to call twice, then she was stunned and asked Shu E: "Do you know ...... Do you know the pigeon? ”

Shu E saw Yang Meiren's strange expression, and was guessing to herself, Lilac hugged the wine jar and said: "When our lady was in the palace, she fed an injured pigeon. ”

Yang Meiren looked at Shu E with a puzzled expression, as if she was waiting for Shu E to reply. Shu E said: "I just saw it on the road and took it back to raise it for a few days." Later, the pigeons were raised and put back. ”

Yang Meiren smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I have also seen pigeons in the palace, but not one, but a large group." The skirt of the pigeon always flies to the east, I don't know if the road is raised in the imperial kitchen. Saying that, he looked at Shu E, and asked with a smile: "Does my sister know who raised Lu Dao?" ”

Shu E looked at Yang Meiren's smiling gaze, thinking of the woman in the yellow shirt, she was nervous for no reason, and hurriedly said, "I don't know." The pigeon flew away and then disappeared. ”

Yang Meiren stopped talking, just looked up at the sky. Shu E also looked up, and the dense bamboo branches and bamboo leaves covered the blue sky above her head, leaving only sparse shadows.

Before the meal was served, Ruyue had already woken up.

Shu E said: "It must be that there is too much movement outside, which startles the little princess." ”

Yang Meiren smiled: "My sister doesn't have to blame herself, children are like this." You have to sleep when you are sleepy, whether you are holding it or carrying it, you can sleep. But I often wake up after sleeping for less than half an hour. It's good to wake up early today, if you sleep deeply, you won't sleep at night. ”

After a while, the nurse had already come out with Ruyue in her arms, Yang Meiren looked outside and said, "It's getting early and late, let's leave and go back." ”

Shu E hurriedly said: "Why do you have to leave here?" I've already been instructed to go down, and I'm going to start eating right away? Sun Niangzi, you go to the kitchen to urge. ”

Yang Meiren hurriedly stopped: "No need, it's the same when you go back to eat." He took the child from the nurse's hand again, and said with a smile: "With this child here, my sister can't even eat a meal well, and she has been bothering her sister for a long time, so let her go back and trouble me." As he spoke, he took the maid and the nurse to say goodbye, and Shu E and the others hurriedly sent them out.

Seeing Yang Meiren away, Shu E took Lilac's hand and said, "Sister Lilac, you go with me." ”

Hua Fu glanced at Shu E and said softly: "Madam and Miss Ding be careful, the weather is hot, and there are many trees and grasses in Yujin Garden, don't go to a remote place." ”

Shu E nodded and walked slowly with the cloves.

The sky seemed to be an intoxicated face, so red that it made people's hearts move. Shu E leaned down, picked up a piece of snow-white feathers, stretched out her arms and raised them, and looked at them carefully.

Lilac suddenly said, "What do you want to ask me?" It's about him...... Chinese medical officer's? ”

Shu E's heart jumped, it turned out that her mind had been seen through. I had to try my best to maintain a harmonious tone, and pretended to say casually: "Sister Lilac, you ......"

"I ...... I'm ...... to the Chinese medical officer" Lilac lowered her head and repeatedly untied the butterfly tapestry on the placket. After a long time, he said slowly: "Shu'e, do you know that Lu Dao Sun Niangzi and the Chinese medical officer ......?"

"What's wrong with the two of them?" Shu E hurriedly asked.

Lilac looked at Shu E, lowered her head and said, "It turns out that you don't know the way." I heard that the two of them used to ...... It seems to be somewhat involved. ”

Since the appearance of the snake girl named Yurong, Shu E has become more curious about Hua Fu's past. Although she has no doubts about Hua Fu's intentions for herself, it is an indisputable fact that Sun Niangzi has an extraordinary past and has great hardships in her heart.

Hearing Lilac mention it at this moment, Shu E couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and said with concern: "What is it?" ”

"These rumors are all intended to slander our Yong'an Hall, and they may not be credible." Ding Xiang looked at Shu E and said, "I have been with Sun Niangzi for so long, and I also believe in her personality. It's just that...... Just ......"

"There are three points of truth in lies, not to mention that the rumors in the palace have always been conclusive, and people can't help but believe it." Shu E sighed softly: "Say it." ”

"Back then, the two of them were in love, and the Chinese medical officer even betrayed his family for the sake of his grandson. It's just the last ......" Lilac wrapped the tapestry around her fingers, struggled tightly, and said, "I heard that it was Sun Niangzi who was sorry for the Chinese medical officer." ”

"For what?" Shu E asked in surprise.

Lilac shook her head: "What is it for, I don't know what it is." ”

"Is this why you avoided the Chinese medical officer?" Shu E asked. If she had asked Lilac to find Hua Dongyang to prescribe medicine in the past, she would definitely go by herself.

Lilac lowered her head and was silent. After a while, Fang Cai said slowly: "Before coming to the palace, Mrs. Sun asked me to go to the medical officer's hospital to find the Chinese medical officer, and asked the Chinese medical officer for some incense. As he spoke, he pulled out a sachet from the placket of his shirt.

"It's a mosquito repellent." Shu E said and picked up her sachet: "Mrs. Sun is thoughtful and made one for you." But it's not a big deal. ”

Lilac nodded and said, "But when I gave the spice recipe that Sun Niangzi asked for to the Chinese medical officer, the Chinese medical officer ...... His expression was very strange. He casually asked me, Yufu, is she going too? I hurriedly asked her who Yufu was, but he said nothing. It's weird. ”

Lilac said and stood up, "Shu'e, who do you say Yufu is?" Is it Sun Niangzi? I was thinking that her original name was Sun Yufu, and then she met the Chinese medical officer, so she ...... I changed my name to Hua Fu," Ding Xiang's expression was very excited, and her voice trembled a little: "If Sun Niangzi is really sorry for the Chinese medical officer, how can she still use the word 'Hua'?" If the Chinese medical officer doesn't like Sun Niangzi, how can he ...... You didn't see the look of the Chinese doctor, that's ...... is very affectionate, at all, can't tolerate others. ”

Shu E was moved and sad in her heart, and stepped forward to hold Lilac's hand, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

For a while, Shu E saw Zihao waving at the door, and said softly: "Sister Lilac, go back." ”

Ding Xiang nodded, and suddenly whispered in Shu E's ear: "It's not that I'm too careful, since Sun Niangzi arrived in Yujin Garden, her expression has always been a little weird." You...... It's good to pay attention. ”
