Chapter 41: Lotus Flowers
Tang Ningnan also replied with a smile, this smile is a smile in the heart, since the Lama Temple incident was rescued by the queen, the two have more and more contact, Tang Ningnan slowly felt that the queen is not only gentle, but also looks at things very clearly, she likes to be friends with this kind of person, and the queen has always treated her well.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there don't seem to be extremely tricky and mean concubines in the palace, and if there are any, it's just a trivial matter of jealousy between women, and it seems that only Concubine Hua and Concubine Yi are fighting seriously in the whole palace.
There are other concubines here, Feng Feihan is also talking about some things that everyone in the harem knows, Tang Ningnan also has to take into account the identity of the current concubine and always hold the shelf, which is far less relaxed than when he and the queen are together.
After a while, he couldn't hold back his eyes and looked around, so he saw a woman sitting in the corner of the pavilion decorated with a concubine, sitting there with her body curled up, she seemed to be very scared, Tang Ningnan looked at her and thought. But this fear seems to be just not knowing how to face the helplessness of the living, and it has nothing to do with the fear of doing something wrong.
looked like a concubine, Tang Ningnan had met her once or twice at the family banquet before, but she had never spoken to her.
"Is she afraid of the emperor?" Tang Ningnan thought to herself, "But shouldn't the concubine be happy to see the emperor?" ”
But after thinking about it, their emperor doesn't like to laugh so much, and he rarely enters the harem on weekdays, and the concubines don't know much about him, only the rumors that he was tough in the previous dynasty, and many young concubines are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it is normal to be afraid of Feng Feihan.
Feng Feihan stayed in the pavilion with them for half an hour, saying that there was still something important to do, so he went back to the Humble Administrator's Hall first.
After Feng Feihan left, Tang Ningnan wanted to talk to the concubine just now, but he didn't expect everyone to say goodbye to the queen and her, and left one by one, and she was the only queen left in the Huxin Pavilion for a while.
"Don't pick it, it's enough." Hongzhu stood on the shore, watching more and more lotus canopies handed over by Pu Julian, and couldn't take them down with her own hands, and said to him.
Stretched out his hand to reach the largest lotus pod in front of him, picked it into his arms, and then climbed ashore from the small boat and took the lotus pod in Hongzhu's arms.
"Let's go find a place to sit." So he took the lotus seeds and pulled the red beads to the back of the rockery, found a shady place to sit down, and the two of them peeled the lotus seeds and ate them.
"How's it going, isn't it?"
"I haven't eaten fresh lotus seeds yet, and I've only eaten lotus seed soup from my mother before."
"You, you don't have to risk your life to do things in the future, find an opportunity to be lazy, otherwise other people's errands will be pushed to you to do, and you won't be tired to death." Pu Julian said while peeling lotus seeds.
Hongzhu didn't know how to answer him, so she had to bow her head and pick the lotus seeds out of the lotus canopy and hand them to Pu Julian.
"Okay, I don't think it's too early, and if you don't let you go back, you'll really be scolded." Seeing her at a loss, Pu Julian got up and said, and stuffed a bunch of lotus seeds wrapped in a handkerchief into Hongzhu's arms, and asked her to take them back and share them with the rest of the palace to eat.
"Thank you, Doctor Pu." Hongzhu bowed slightly and thanked him with a smile.
"Oh, I said don't call me a doctor, I'm really not suitable for this title, just call me Dr. Julian."
"Yes, thank you, Dr. Julian." Hongzhu shouted timidly.
"That's right, you wait." Turning around, Pu Julian ran to the lake again, picked three blooming lotus flowers and handed them to her.
"Go back and put it on the table, the fragrance of the lotus flower is muted and calming, go back quickly." He patted Hongzhu on the shoulder.
"Yes, then I'll go first, Ju, Doctor Julian."
"Well, I'll play with you when I have time." Watching the red beads gradually fade away, Pu Julian shouted loudly behind her again.
Hearing him say this in the back, Hongzhu quickened her pace and ran onto the small bridge, knowing that she had disappeared from Pu Julian's sight, Pu Julian slowly left, planning to hide somewhere to steal and play.
"Why did you come back alone? What about the little master? Bizhu saw that Hongzhu was holding a handful of lotus flowers and came back first, so she asked.
"Little master, little lord asked me to come back first and insert the lotus flower in the vase in the main hall." Hongzhu buried his head and ran inside vigorously.
Bizhu stopped her, took the lotus flower in her arms and asked her to rest first, and went to take the lotus into it herself, while muttering in her mouth: "The little master really likes the lotus the most."
But Hongzhu didn't go to the backyard to rest, but took out a handkerchief from his arms, opened a handful of lotus seeds and said, "Sister Bizhu, eat lotus seeds."
"Eh, where did this come from?" Bizhu was also very happy to see it.
"Yes, yes, it was picked by the eunuch next to the queen's mother, and we all shared a little." Hongzhu replied weakly.
"It's so good, don't forget to take it back and give me a little." Bizhu touched Hongzhu's bun. "The little master is coming back soon, you go and rest for a while, and then come with me to prepare lunch."
"Okay, I'll be here later."
When the two were about to start preparing, Huai Yao, who was beside the queen, came in and told them that Concubine Xiao Guifei had gone to the queen's palace for lunch, and there was no need to prepare it at noon today.
Yaoguang Immortal Pond is not far to the east of Rongxun Palace, the courtyard is slightly larger than Rongxun Palace, Tang Ningnan just walked into the gate, and found that a whole wall to the south was overgrown with creepers, and the queen explained to her.
At the beginning, every time the little eunuch saw the creeper grow seedlings, they had to be pulled out, but every time they were pulled out, it didn't take long for them to grow again, when the emperor and the first queen lived here, the first emperor said that since it was pulled out and grown, then it was not pulled out to grow with it, to see what it could grow, but I didn't expect that a summer passed, and the whole wall was covered with the creeper that was originally only a small plant.
One wall is green, the other wall is vibrant, and it looks cool and cool under the hot summer sun.
Here in the queen, I used some cool food to relieve the heat, the sun was growing outside, and I was so tired during pregnancy, Tang Ningnan wanted to take a break again.
The queen teased her, she ate and slept when she ate, and the child she gave birth to must be a fat doll.
At this time, Lin Zhizhou outside the door arrived, and came to ask the two mothers for peace, and also told Tang Ningnan not to eat too much, just eat enough at every meal, and also need to move around more, so that some pain can be reduced during childbirth.
"Imperial Doctor Lin, is Dr. Julian also coming to the Water Imperial Palace?" Tang Ningnan remembered the figure he saw in Xianyue Tower today.
"Weichen did hear from his senior brother that the emperor asked him to come here with him, but he didn't see him all the way." Lin Zhizhou replied.
"In this way, with his temperament, when he gets here, he may run somewhere to play."
"Niangniang is looking for senior brother to have something, Niangniang can tell Weichen and let Weichen tell you."
"It's okay, it's okay, this palace is just asking casually, by the way, the queen's body, how is it now?"
"Weichen just checked the pulse of the queen mother, and found that the pulse of the mother was stronger before, these are all signs that her body is gradually getting better."
"It couldn't be better." Tang Ningnan said happily, "Imperial Doctor Lin, it seems that you are still a little hot from your senior brother's medical skills, the emperor let Dr. Julian enter the palace is really a good decision, and in the future, when the queen mother is in good health, she can play with the child with the palace." ”
"Yes, Senior Brother is indeed deeper than Weichen in terms of medical attainments." Lin Zhizhou bent over and said.
The weeping dew next to her felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong, and said: "Although Imperial Doctor Pu has slowly recuperated the body of the queen mother, he may not be as good as Imperial Doctor Lin in other aspects, and for so many days, Imperial Doctor Lin has also done his best to take care of his mother."
Niangniang, you also see it in your eyes, Doctor Pu's medical skills are really good, but he doesn't look serious, the slave and maid saw him with red beads a few days ago and was going to the tree to catch it, if he hadn't been bumped into by the slave, he would have to go up the tree. ”
"This palace has no other meaning, this palace is happy to see that the queen is getting better, don't take it to heart, Imperial Doctor Lin."
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen will definitely devote himself to research in the future, and serve the two mothers more dedicatedly."
"If it's okay, you go down first."
"Yes, Weichen retired."
Lin Zhizhou slowly retreated and left the Yaoguang Immortal Pool.
"Eh, just talking about the red bead girl, why did this girl disappear while walking." Weeping Lu suddenly found that the red beads that came out with her were gone.
"Maybe I'm hiding somewhere." Tang Ningnan said, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Don't you look for it, it stands to reason that the palace maid shouldn't run around, but don't have anything wrong." The queen spoke.
"It's okay queen mother, the concubine thinks she should go back to the palace by herself at this time."
Sitting in the palace with the queen again and talking about some interesting things that have happened recently, Tang Ningnan yawned, feeling that he still had to take a nap, so he said goodbye to the queen and went back to Rongxun Palace.
Lin Zhizhou walked on the road with a gloomy face, and when he saw the rockery, he showed a piece of clothing, and the color pattern seemed to be the one Pu Julian was wearing.
"This guy is really here." Lin Zhizhou thought to himself.
When I walked over, Pu Julian was lying on a stone with a lotus leaf on her face and was napping.
"Senior brother, why are you sleeping here, let people see what kind of body you are." Lin Zhizhou went over and uncovered the lotus leaves on his head, but the appearance of the person in front of him startled him.
His eyes were hollow, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth.
"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhizhou hurriedly shook Pu Julian, but he didn't react.
This should be poisoned, and the poison must be forced out by needles first. Lin Zhizhou thought to himself as he opened his medicine box.
But Pu Julian sat up suddenly, and Lin Zhizhou was startled again, and the medicine box also fell to the ground, and silver needles, hand pillows, and prescriptions fell to the ground.
"Senior brother, why do you always fall for this?" Pu Julian wiped the foam from the corners of her mouth and said playfully.
"If you weren't worried about you, who would take care of you, you can joke as much as you like in the future, even if you are really poisoned and dying, I will not be a doctor if I take care of you." Lin Zhizhou said angrily while packing up the medicine box that had been emptied.
