CHAPTER XXXII
In the middle of the groaning, Old Lady Chen had already personally led the Imperial Doctor Hu from the Tai Hospital into the boudoir. Feng, Chen, and the big maid in the room avoided going out, leaving only two little girls who did not have their heads to serve the tea.
Imperial Physician Hu sat on a small pestle in front of the bed, put his hand on the wrist of the second sister, intently diagnosed a few breaths, touched his head again, and asked the second sister to stick out her tongue to take a look. Because of the smile: "It's just that the external feeling is stagnant inside, and there is occasionally some wind chill." I was frightened again, and I seemed to be thinking too much. It's not a serious illness, just take two doses of medicine to disperse. ”
After a pause, he smiled and instructed, "You must eat lightly." It would be better if you could calm down your hunger for two meals. ”
After that, he wrote a prescription with a pen and ink. When Old Lady Chen took it and looked at it carefully, she saw that compared with the previous Lang Zhongzi's prescription, there were several more calming medicines, and a few less strong medicines, and the amount was also reduced by two points compared with before. Doctor Hu smiled and said, "My sister is strong, eat according to this recipe, but she will be cured in three or five days." It's just a little bit, my sister thinks too much at a young age, and she needs to be comforted by her family. ”
There is a way that wisdom will hurt, and love will not live. The second sister outwitted the bandits at the Lantern Festival, and the story of the clever return to the saint has long been spread throughout Kyoto. Because the events of the night are full of twists and turns, twists and turns, and the matter involves the saints and princes of today, it is really too much to talk about, and it is said that the tourists on the Lantern Festival will spread the word of mouth after returning home, and even those who tell stories and sing operas have to make up some tricks to pass on the singing. Doctor Hu is on an errand in Tai Hospital, so he is naturally more informed than others. He didn't know about these things that were known to him and related to the royal family.
Imperial Physician Hu had also thought before that the second sister had such courage and eloquence at a young age, and she must be a young and precocious master. But after diagnosing the pulse today, I know that it must be exhausting and troublesome to be wise too early, and it may not be a good thing.
Old Mrs. Chen listened to Imperial Doctor Hu's suggestion, and thanked him gratefully. On the matter of the second sister, I asked some homely maintenance methods. Imperial Physician Hu was ordered by the prince to come over to give him grace and send his love, so he naturally knew everything about Old Lady Chen. The two of you exchanged pleasantries back and forth, and waited for the tea to pass the three rounds, and then Taiyi Hu said goodbye on the grounds of returning to the Tai Hospital to resume his life.
Here it is said that the people of the Chen Mansion have received the medical advice of Imperial Doctor Hu - according to the prescription and there is no need to elaborate, and it is understandable that the diet is light. After all, the second sister has a heavy nasal congestion, coughing and wheezing, and can't eat meat and greasy. The porridge and side dishes were also dealt with.
But the command to be hungry for two meals made the second sister really unbearable - she was already unhappy, and she didn't give her food, and the taste of being sinned was mentioned.
The second sister complained bitterly, only to feel that her stomach was empty, her eyes were dizzy, her stomach bones were screaming, her body was sore and weak, and she was groggy, and she didn't know whether she was hungry or sick. I took a few more decoctions prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hu, but in the past two days, I no longer have a cough and wheezing, and even the fever has subsided. Chen and others shouted Bodhisattva in their mouths, and more and more regarded Imperial Doctor Hu's explanation as a guideline - it was because they felt sorry for the second sister, and they just wanted to be hungry for two meals, and they didn't care about the second sister's coquettish shouting that they were hungry, and insisted on cutting off the second sister's food, and still gave some rice soup to eat every day.
hated the second sister's teeth, and she didn't dare to say anything in her mouth, but she secretly cursed in her heart that Imperial Doctor Hu didn't do anything about people, and actually changed the law to toss people. Because he thought that Imperial Doctor Hu was originally sent by the prince, he didn't even feel that the prince scolded a few words quietly.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who was secretly rubbed and cursed by the second sister, didn't know the reason. In the past few days, because of the case of Feng Si's abduction, the court and the central government have quite a first-class official history, and they do not know who instructed him, on the one hand, they impeached him for not being strict in the imperial family, so that the scoundrels in the market dared to oppress the township, prey on the name of the saint, prey on the common people, and abduct and sell people, and on the other hand, they also impeached certain ministers of the DPRK and the central government for accepting bribes, flouting the law of the country, and even selling official positions...... It seems that the latter has nothing to do with him, but in fact, those who are impeached by the officials are all his subordinates, or courtiers recommended by him, and all kinds of measures make the prince anxious, and he has a flawless sense of dealing with it.
The crown prince knew that the matter about Feng Si was just an introduction, and even those courtiers impeached his courtiers for corruption and bribery, but they definitely did not have any loyalty, righteousness and justice. After all, the current situation of the court is like this, and today's attitude towards the old ministers is even more tolerant and lenient, if you don't know how to be with the light, I'm afraid you can't even do things - in the eyes of the prince, if an official can't even do things well, no matter how beautiful his reputation is, he is just a stinky and hard pit stone.
It's better to have him than not.
Besides, even if you don't talk about this dynasty, from ancient times to the present, how many virtuous ministers can really do it with two sleeves?
Therefore, the crown prince did not take those who impeached his courtiers for corruption and bribery seriously. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's heart is like a mirror, and the reason why these officials, or the people behind them, are making trouble at this time is just to tarnish his name and cut off his arm. It is best to disappoint the saint in him, as long as he, the crown prince, loses the favor of the saint, the remaining younger brothers will be better off.
Therefore, the turmoil in the past few days is not so much that someone took the opportunity to make trouble, but that the younger brothers under him are jointly fueling the troubles and are happy to see it happen. Although the courtiers who supported the crown prince reacted quickly and also found the weaknesses of several other princes and fought back, they finally lost the opportunity. It inevitably left the impression that the saint and the Manchu ministers were "overwhelmed" and "negligent".
Just like the truth of ants breaking embankments, a mad dog barking is not worth anything, but if there are too many mad dogs barking, even if it can't bite people, it will make people impetuous. If you lose your prudence and alertness because of this, and you don't check for a while, it will not be good.
When the prince thought of this, he couldn't help but press his hand between his eyebrows tiredly. Sitting in front of the desk, there was an illusion of being attacked on all sides. After thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing at myself, so in the position of the prince, I must guard against the unpredictability of His Majesty's sacred heart, and I must guard against the ambitions of my brothers and wolves.
In this way, it is not easy for him to be the prince for more than 30 years unharmed.
The prince was taking care of himself, and the princess Yuan came in with a personal girl. A food box filled with vermilion lacquer and inlaid with luodian painted landscape figures was placed on the table. Lifted the lid of the box, took out a bowl of steaming shrimp balls and chicken skin soup from inside, and brought out a plate of chicken pith bamboo shoots, a plate of rouge goose breast, a plate of white willow sprouts mixed with tofu, and a bowl of green fragrant rice and japonica rice, and said to the prince with a smile: "I saw that His Royal Highness didn't use chopsticks much at noon, and I thought the food was not to taste." I cooked it myself, Your Highness might as well try some. ”
The crown princess Yuan, when she tasted it in the boudoir, she was very hungry. His father Yuan Shaowei is also good at this, so the father and daughter often cook some novel dishes. Yuan Shaowei was also impeached by some idle toothache officials and officials because of this matter, saying that he was "disrespectful to officials". Even if this matter is not known to all the people, there are eight people who have stopped out of ten stops.
Therefore, Yuan said that he was cooking by himself at this time, and he must have fried it by himself. It's not made by those concubines who flattered and invited pets, pretending to be made by the hands of the cook.
Since it is the heart of the crown princess, His Royal Highness the crown prince is rarely allowed to accept it. I soaked the rice in the soup and ate a bowl of it. The crown princess stood aside, peeking at the prince's expression, and unhurriedly admonished some words. Just said that thanks to the Chen family's act of breaking the abduction, Zhao Bihe took the Jinyi Army to raid the kidnapper's nest and rescued countless boys and girls, which is also a good thing for countless living people. At least the people are grateful for His Highness's kindness, so some rumors from above do not need to be listened to. There was a maid from Qi Lanyuan who was ordered to pass the word, only saying that Feng Cairen was sick.
Feng Cairen is Feng Meier, the sister-in-law of the abductor Feng Si mentioned above. In the past, when Feng Meier was favored, she often pretended to be sick and invited pets. The prince is not unaware, but he is willing to tacitly come up with Feng Mei'er to do some tricks.
At this time, the prince was angry, and just after eating a bowl of full rice, he felt a little looser, and Feng Mei'er came to hit the gun and mouth. The prince categorically lost his usual careful thoughts of pity and cherishing jade, and his heart felt even more crooked. He frowned rather displeased, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to himself: "Lone is not a doctor, she is sick, and Doctor Xuan is." Again, what does Lone do? ”
The little girl was speechless when asked, and hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be dumb.
The crown princess hooked the corners of her mouth without a trace, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. The little girl saw that she couldn't please her, so she kowtowed and wanted to retreat. When he was just getting through, he heard the prince say again: "Slow." ”
The little girl was busy lowering her eyebrows and standing in place. The prince pondered for a while, and then said, "Since you are sick, you should live and recuperate." If you say that there are many nobles in the palace, it is not good if you get involved with others because of this. Or move out, and come back when it's better. ”
The words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they frightened the people in the study. The crown princess was first surprised and then delighted, but the little girl was stunned and didn't know what to do.
For a while, Imperial Doctor Hu came back to restore his life. The crown princess knew that Imperial Physician Hu was sent by the prince to Chen's mansion to see a doctor. Although he was quite curious about the second sister's fight against the bandits, the top priority was to arrange Feng Meier.
Say goodbye to the prince because of laughter. When he returned to the room, he saw the schadenfreude on the face of his grandmother Qin, who couldn't hide the schadenfreude, and was busy coming to ask for the princess's instructions.
The crown princess smiled and said: "This is what His Royal Highness the crown prince meant, even I can't do anything." I had to order the people below to be on errands, and all the soft and daily things that Feng Cairen was used to were all ready and sent out together. lest others mistakenly think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a mean person and treats concubines harshly. ”
After a pause, he said: "When you go to Qilan Garden, remember to comfort Feng Cairen a few words - His Royal Highness is not tired of her, but she is not good, and she is afraid of bringing others, so she is not allowed to be in the palace." Tell her to be recuperated when she is in the garden, and when she recovers, she can come back. ”
Mama Qin stood aside and said yes with a smile on her face. smiled again: "This is also the mother's generosity and kindness." If it was someone else, she would have taken this opportunity to act as a thunderbolt, where would she be allowed to take advantage of her illness to make trouble and invite pets to flatter. ”
The crown princess still smiled gently, because she said: "I'm not for her, I'm just looking at His Highness." Later, Shi Rong came, and he had to be comforted again. He is the grandmother brother of His Royal Highness, and he grew up with His Highness since he was a child. Don't be divided for such a person. ”
Mama Qin is still the only one who should be. asked about the little county lord from Feng Cairen again-
The crown princess smiled and said: "Doesn't she often say that she is a mother, and she can't leave her daughter." Since this is the case, he asked the little county lord to follow Feng Cairen to the other garden. I hope her illness will get better soon. ”
Mama Qin was stunned, and she smiled and flattered: "Niangniang is really a philanthropic person." ”
The crown princess smiled and said meaningfully: "The current situation is not good, but you can ask the people who are waiting in the other garden to be careful." If you don't take care of it properly, so that the little county lord is sick, I won't follow it. ”
When Mama Qin heard this, she smiled busily. He only said in his mouth, "Don't worry, the old slave must have ordered it properly." Don't ask the mother to a little heart. ”
