Chapter 24: The Rash

Mama Sheng exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention to Chai Xiyun, Empress Dowager Zhou hurriedly approached, only to see a palm-sized red spot on her snow-white neck, which spread to the depths of her clothes, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "Why do you have so many red rashes, I'll take a look at the clothes quickly, Qing Xuan, find someone to find the doctor, and let the doctor wait." ”

"Yes" Qing Xuan went out in response, put down the curtain in front of Yuqin, helped the master to remove his clothes, and lit an oil lamp on the side, but saw that there were patches of red rashes on the white skin on his back, which extended to his waist, which was very dazzling, and the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help frowning, and said continuously, "I probably encountered something unconvinced, Yun'er, have you touched the fir powder?" ”

Chai Xiyun shook his head, took a bronze mirror with his hand, visited Qin and instructed the little palace people to take the lamp, and he picked up another copper mirror and put it behind Chai Xiyun, Chai Xiyun took a closer look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and opened his lips and said, "I will never touch the fir powder, I wiped my hands when I was young, and I had a rash, but it was only on my hands, not so much." ”

Visiting Qin stepped forward to explain, "fir powder is mostly used to make sandalwood, after the county lord had a rash when he was young, the first emperor had asked the imperial doctor, and several imperial doctors of the imperial medical bureau said that the amount of fir powder contained in sandalwood is weak, even if the county lord does not accept this thing, but as long as it is not directly touched, it does not hurt that the incense contains some, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu is careful, worried about what if, so he ordered that this thing should not be carried when making incense, even the spices provided by the Soviet Bureau will also be identified by the imperial doctor and then used by the county lord, and there will be no mistakes. ”

"Of course you won't go wrong, it's just that in the palace of the concubine," Empress Dowager Zhou paused, thought for a moment, and said, "It's about, her palace is full of spices, maybe there is such a thing!" ”

As the mother and daughter were talking, Qing Xuan had already brought the doctor to the front of the hall, and stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, the county lord, the doctor has arrived, and the imperial doctor is waiting outside the hall." ”

Later, a female official in a plain narrow-sleeved skirt bowed closely, and the Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand and got up from the couch, "No need to be polite, enter the tent and show it to the county lord." ”

"Yes" The female official responded, Qing Xuan called the imperial doctor to wait by the door according to the instructions, the female doctor finished observing the symptoms, and said that she knew with the imperial doctor, Qing Xuan visited the qin and waited for Chai Xiyun to wear all the clothes, and went out of the bed tent, before the imperial doctor was passed into the palace to diagnose the pulse, but as expected, it was indeed caused by the incense powder dissatisfied.

"The county lord hasn't touched the fir powder, I don't know why this is the case?" Empress Dowager Zhou moved to Chai Xiyun's side, opened her lips and asked, Imperial Physician Jiang lowered her eyes politely, and responded word by word, "Qi Yu Niangniang, if the spice contains a large amount of fir powder, igniting this kind of spice, and the time is too long, even if it has not been in contact with the skin, it will have this symptom." ”

"A lot of fir powder?" Empress Dowager Zhou frowned slightly, and Imperial Physician Jiang then explained, "But please rest assured that the lady and the county lord are at ease, since you know what you don't take, you can prescribe the right medicine, the minister will prescribe a decoction for the county lord, take it every morning, and use it with external ointment, in addition, the minister will prepare to stop itching, if the county lord feels itchy, you can put it in the water of the daily bath, it can be relieved, remember not to scratch." ”

"Thank you for your advice." Chai Xiyun replied in a shallow voice, only to hear Imperial Doctor Jiang say again, "If the county lord feels that he has a fever or a cold, please don't worry, the minister will carefully regulate the county lord, as long as it is properly recuperated, it will not damage the county lord's texture." ”

"There is too much trouble with the Empress Dowager Zhou" Empress Dowager Zhou was relieved at this time, and instead ordered someone to give a reward, Qing Xuan personally followed him out of the palace to get medicine, Empress Dowager Zhou turned around, pulled Chai Xiyun and said, "I won't go back to Nanqing Palace today, stay in the palace and take care of my body, and then talk about it, the neck must not leave a mark." ”

Chai Xiyun nodded, knowing that her aunt was worried, so she relieved, "Doctor Jiang is wonderful, my aunt can rest assured." ”

Seeing her full of smiles, Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but change her smile, and said softly, "I'll go and tell the small kitchen to prepare some light food for you, you can rest first." ”

Chai Xiyun responded, and the Empress Dowager Zhou took Mama Sheng to the main hall, Mama Sheng helped her sit firmly, and Fang said in a low voice, "Concubine Shu is exquisite, but she is not such an imprudent person." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou picked up the Buddha beads, closed her eyes and said slowly, "Concubine Shu is a master of incense making, how can she not control the amount of incense powder, Yun'er has no grievances with her, and the Pan family is trying to kiss the emperor, how can she make a danger to my Yun'er, doing this, it will be harmful to her and the Pan family, but the mourning family did not expect that the women in this palace would dare to use such dirty methods on my daughter." ”

"Seeing this person act, most of them are envious." Mama Sheng handed over the words, and the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but stop the rotation of her hand, raised her eyes and asked, "How do you say it?" ”

Mama Sheng added tea nearby, and said, "This person must know that the county lord is not satisfied with the fir powder, and this kind of disease may be a rash on the body, and it is also very likely that there is a rash on the face. Besides, the envoys of the Liao State will inevitably hold a court meeting when they enter Beijing this time, and naturally some people do not want our county lord to overshadow her. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, continued to twist the Buddha beads, and said slowly, "The women in the palace, born to their mothers, have different thoughts, and they are jealous of Yun'er, not to mention one person, but this time, she did us a favor by mistake, the state banquet!" Or to invite the envoys of the Liao State, the second brother is so anxious to marry Yun'er just in case, but someone is willing to help us, he has a rash on his body, and he can't attend because he shirks it, this excuse, I'm afraid even the official family can't find fault with it! ”

"Niangniang is right, on this occasion, if you can not be eye-catching, it will not be eye-catching, and it is best to excuse yourself from illness." Mama Sheng picked up the fan and shook it gently, and the Empress Dowager Zhou instructed again, "Go and send someone to tell the emperor about Yun'er's rash, and then find someone to tell the emperor about the Spring Pavilion in front of the emperor a few times." ”

"The affairs of the Chunjin Pavilion have already been arranged, so I will send someone to know about the rash of His Majesty's county lord." After Mama Sheng finished speaking, she sent the people from the small palace out of the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhou sat up straight, Mama Sheng thought that she felt a little uncomfortable behind her, so she took a soft cushion, Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes flashed slightly, and then asked again, "Then the father of the Yang family is Yang Ye, the commander of the Daizhou capital!"

"Exactly, Yang Ye is brave and good at fighting, and he is a loyal and righteous man."

"Emperor Xiaowen once mentioned this Yang Invincible to the Mourning family in the past, saying that he was strategic and good at fighting, and he was very loyal and brave, and the Mourning family remembered that the first emperor was still sorry that this person could not be used for himself, and the current emperor will win the hearts of the people, and in the end he will be included in his command." Empress Dowager Zhou lowered her beautiful eyes, I don't know whether she was thinking of the first emperor or feeling the current situation, she didn't say anything for a long time, Mama Sheng whispered beside her, she came back to her senses and said, "Let the third brother pay attention to Tianbo Mansion, Yun'er has a heart, and we have to take a good look." ”

"Yes," Mama Sheng replied with a smile, "How about the slave and maid go and instruct the small kitchen to prepare a meal, and prepare winter bamboo shoots and corn flakes, shredded chicken stings, plus kumquat ginger honey and ice water and white fungus to dispel fire?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled lightly, "You are the one who knows Yun'er's preferences the most, and then match it with rock sugar lily chestnut soup!" She also loves to eat. ”

"Yes, the slave and maid make this horseshoe soup herself."

……

"Arbitrarily and recklessly, arbitrarily and recklessly" Zhao Guangyi did not wait for the palace people to report, then shouted and strode into the Chunjin Palace, Pan Surong was not prepared, hurriedly got up from the couch, straightened his clothes, and knelt down, "The concubine is late, Your Majesty forgives the sin." ”

Zhao Guangyi sat at the head of the main hall, waved his robe sleeves and put his arms on the table, Pan Surong only heard his heavy breathing, and did not wait for the order to calm down, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, why did you make such a big anger." ”

"You knowingly asked," Zhao Guangyi raised his finger, "Why are Pan Long and Pan Leopard in the palace today, why is it so coincidental, but when you are banqueting the county lord, they came to greet you." ”

"It was indeed sudden, the two younger brothers entered the palace, and the concubines didn't think much about it, so they sent someone to invite them in, and they didn't think about it..."

Zhao Guangyi deliberately avoided her gaze, and said in a suppressed voice, "Concubine Shu, I have made an exception for you, you are just a concubine, but I have raised your mother's family, inherited the honor of the country's father-in-law, and allowed your two siblings to stay in the palace to serve, but often enter the palace to see you, for this matter, the doctor said that I was unconscious, saying that I was fascinated by sex, and I didn't even think about withdrawing my will, am I not good to you?" But who gave you the courage to disobey the Holy Commandment? ”

With a roar, Pan Surong's body trembled, and she hurriedly bowed, Zhao Guangyi suppressed the fire again, and said, "Pan Long, he wants to be a concubine, there are more princesses and county lords, he proposed it, I can fulfill him, but Xiyun is an exception, Uncle Fu sent all the twists and turns to my dragon book case." Zhao Guangyi trembled with anger, and his right hand kept knocking on the table, "Don't you know about this?" Don't you know that Xu Xiuping has settled in the capital? Whether this matter is successful or not depends on God's fate, but if you interfere in it, it is a monopoly and an arrogance. ”

"Minister, concubine knows." Pan Surong replied timidly.

"Then why do you have to set up this game?" Zhao Guangyi hurriedly asked a rhetorical question, then Banju was in front of Pan Surong, raised his hand and lifted her face vigorously, and said sharply, "Concubine Shu, I tell you, you must not think that your father has made outstanding achievements, you can do whatever you want in the palace, Fu Yanqing, King of Wei, my old Taishan, when he pulled me out of the pile of dead people and the first emperor, your father was still a childish who didn't even dare to go to the battlefield, Yuan Wei and Xiyun's marriage, even the queen didn't dare to say much, you are just a concubine, and you tried in vain to influence the princess's family affairs, concubine, You're overdoing it! ”

Zhao Guangyi shook her off, Pan Surong fell down without kneeling, and then leaned down again, begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the concubine will never dare to act so willfully and recklessly." ”

Zhao Guangyi's eyebrows frowned, coldly looked at Pan Surong who was curled up on the ground, and silently accepted her gaze, although Chu Chu was pitiful, but Zhao Guangyi's heart was as cold as ice at this time, and he didn't feel the slightest distress, for a long time, he only said, "Concubine Pan, wanton and wanton, punished for half a year, Pan Long and Pan Leopard entered the inner palace without permission, confronted the county lord, picked up the knight knight, and was not allowed to enter the inner palace without an edict." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Pan Surong cried in a warbling voice, trying to climb the corner of Zhao Guangyi's clothes, but he pulled out and was empty, and cried unrelentingly, "Concubine, I really know that I am wrong." ”

Zhao Guangyi took an open step, with a sense of anger, and left angrily, Pan Surong sat down for a moment, stabilized her mind, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong today?" ”

"Qi Yu Niangniang, I heard that His Royal Highness the county lord returned to the West Palace and was covered with red rashes, and the imperial doctor said that it was caused by the disobedience of fir powder, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was furious, just..."

"What?!" Pan Surong gave a questioning look, Xiaogong people's words stopped abruptly, they stood on one side with their hands down, and the personal maid stepped forward to help Pan Surong, her thoughts moved quickly, and it took a long time to sneer and say, "How can it be so coincidental?" What a coincidence. ”
