Chapter 168: Laba
After the winter solstice, the three days of the three days are sacrificed to the gods. -- "Sayings"
It can be seen that the three military days after the winter solstice are the wax days, but due to the intervention of religion, the wax days were changed to the eighth day of the twelfth month, and since then they have been customary.
As a custom of witchcraft activities, the palace will naturally not toss it. However, Laba porridge is indispensable, which is made from eight kinds of fresh grains and melons and fruits harvested that year, and is generally sweetened.
The laba porridge in the palace is also more delicate and attentive, and there are many items mixed in the white rice, such as red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pine nuts, longan, hazelnuts, grapes, ginkgo seeds, water chestnuts, green silk, roses, red beans, peanuts...... There are no less than twenty in total.
The thick laba porridge was also brought by Yufu to Chu Xuan to taste.
Chu Xuan is no longer as silent as before, and he is indeed much better. But he is more silent than before, and his temperament has begun to calm down a lot. The unruliness between the eyebrows and eyes gradually faded.
The laba porridge that was still hot exuded a white mist, but the appetizing fragrance still failed to enter Chu Xuan's eyes.
Chu Xuan doesn't like sweets on weekdays, but he can't say he hates them, if he suddenly becomes interested, he may even be greedy and ask people to serve some sweets.
But since she became pregnant, her taste has changed greatly, and she likes this for a while, but after the thing is served, she may suddenly lose her appetite.
"You take it down, you don't want to touch it when you see it's sticky." Chu Xuan really frowned, not very interested in this laba porridge.
Yufu looked embarrassed: "Master, today is Laba." Even if you don't like it anymore, try two bites to deal with it. ”
Chu Xuan stared at the bowl of laba porridge as if he was facing a great enemy, and after a long while, he lowered his head like a defeated rooster and said resignedly: "Okay, just this time, I won't take it as an example."
In this way, Yufu put the laba porridge in her hand on the table in front of Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan gritted his teeth and lifted the spoon and stirred the laba porridge a few times, but he really had no appetite.
It's not just that Chu Xuan doesn't have much appetite for sweets now, but the sticky porridge makes him lose his appetite when he sees it.
She reluctantly scooped a small mouthful, and shoved it into her mouth as if she were dead. Let Yufu look a little worried.
"You serve it, it's too sweet and disgusting."
Chu Xuan rubbed his furrowed brows. There is still laba porridge in his mouth that he hasn't swallowed. His voice was a little slurred. But the tightly wrinkled brow was already clearly revealing her attitude.
I don't know which one killed a thousand knives to make this laba porridge, but it was so sweet. Chu Xuan just tasted it, and it was so sweet that it almost paralyzed her nerves.
Yufu didn't want to force her too much, after all, although Chu Xuan was quieter now. But because of pregnancy, I really became moody. plus Wen Jieyu's matter...... Not to mention her temper.
What worries her the most is this. Now that Chu Xuan has a temper, he suffocates it in his heart. I'm afraid that she will be depressed. When the time comes, I feel uncomfortable.
But Yufu didn't have a rut, and she had to be treated with heart medicine for heart disease. It's a pity that I don't know where to find that heart medicine.
Chu Xuan picked up a book and flipped through it, but from her godless eyes, she could see that she didn't read the contents of the book at all.
Yufu took the dishes out of the packed. I faintly heard a muffled grunt in the inner sanctum and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Her face changed, and she didn't even have time to put down the dishes before she rushed straight to the inner sanctum.
I saw Chu Xuan curled up, her hands tightly covering her abdomen, and her neat and smooth clothes were all folded by her. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her face was full of pain. The good-looking Chang Dai was tightly twisted, and her little face was twisted in pain.
And the wooden table that was originally placed on the side also fell to the ground.
Chu Xuan's appearance, Yufu had seen it once before. But it's still inevitable to get scrambling.
Again, Chu Xuan was drugged.
For a while, Yihuaxuan was in a mess, and with the panicked pace, there was also a bit of urgency when he walked.
Yufu quickly calmed down, shackled Yurong's hand, which was already in a mess, and instructed in an orderly manner: "Go and ask Imperial Doctor Zou to come."
"Xiao Luzi, you go to Fengluan Palace to find the queen, and then go to Changle Palace and Zhongcui Palace by the way."
Yu Fu told the matter at a fast speed, let go of Yu Rong's hand, and walked straight to Chu Xuan, who was cramping in his abdomen.
"You two carry the master back to the couch." Yufu raised his voice.
Yufu held her hand, and Chu Xuan unconsciously held her hand tightly, the white teeth bit her lower lip fiercely, and the skin was bitten hard, tasting a rust-like taste.
At this time, Yufu couldn't show it even if she was flustered, because something happened to her master at this time, obviously she was the pillar of all the palace people in Yihuaxuan, but when she saw this scene, her eyes gradually turned red.
Originally, I thought that it was a great joy for the master to conceive a child, but he suffered again and again because of this child. If she said something rebellious, she would rather that her master had never conceived this child.
The grandmother sent by the Queen Mother to Yihuaxuan also rushed over when she heard the sound, and her face couldn't help but change greatly when she saw this situation.
"Quick!" The grandmother grabbed a palace person casually, "Go to Yongshou Palace and tell the Queen Mother!" ”
This master may not have a high rank, but she is the only heir in the entire palace now.
The Queen Mother also values it very much, otherwise it would be impossible to send her down to take care of this little one Chonghua, which is obviously a bit of a loss.
Jiang Xiaoyi and Wen Jieyu's fetus went too fast before, and it was gone before they could react. The Queen Mother didn't treat them like she did with Chu Xuan, otherwise I'm afraid Chu Xuan's fetus would not be as expensive as she imagined.
That grandmother is also worthy of being the queen mother's human spirit, and she will be demonic when things happen.
Her face was also cold, and the group of concubines in the harem knew that the Queen Mother had sent her to Yihuaxuan to guard Chu Xuan, but there were still those harmful things flowing in.
What is clearly going to be against the Queen Mother!
It's like eating the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, lawless!
"Yufu, why did Chu Chonghua suddenly have abdominal pain." But human spirits are human spirits, and they asked about the reason for this.
After the grandmother came, Yufu's mood also stabilized.
She thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "That bowl of laba porridge!"
Laba congee!?
No wonder she didn't notice that this time, because the taste of Laba porridge was too sweet and greasy, and the color of the porridge was also dark, the smell was too strong.
Therefore, you can't taste it at all, and even if you add medicine, it will be covered by sweetness. (To be continued.) )
