Chapter 134: Herbal Tea
Early the next morning, Murong Xi asked Mo'er to pack up some air-dried petals, she put the petals in a box, and then took Mo'er to Biyun Palace.
"Lady Princess, are you getting better?" Murong Xi said with some worry after coming in.
"Concubine Shu is much better, but the concubine feels a little guilty about Xi'er." Concubine Shu looked at Murong Xi with a look of guilt on her face.
"Why did the lady say that?" Murong Xi's ability to pretend to be stupid is getting stronger and stronger.
"Xi'er, Concubine Shu of Ning Xidian really didn't mean it that day. I was really excited when I saw the flower, and it was like a nightmare, and I didn't even know what I was talking about. No, as soon as I came back, I fell ill. Concubine Shu's eyes were full of tenderness, like a biological mother looking at her daughter.
Murong Xi smiled and said, "Xi'er naturally knew that Concubine Shu should be sick, so she thought that Xi'er would secretly take it away because she liked that flower." However, Concubine Shu said that the flower would wither as long as it moved, and Xi'er was reluctant to see such a beautiful flower wither, so even if she was reluctant, she would not fight the idea of the flower. But, Lady Lady, what are the flowers you planted in the yard? ”
Murong Xi asked rhetorically, the last time he kept saying that it was an evil flower. So, what about what you grow in your yard? Even if there is no evidence, Murong Xi wants to block Concubine Shu at any time.
Sure enough, Concubine Shu nodded apologetically to Murong Xi and was about to bow her head to drink tea.
However, when she heard Murong Xi ask her, her hand instinctively trembled. Then he smiled and said, "That's an ordinary ornamental flower." ”
Murong Xi nodded, suddenly grabbed Concubine Shu's hand, and then said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, wait a moment." What do you see Xi'er brought you? Concubine Shu was frightened by Murong Xi's sudden attack.
After Murong Xi finished speaking, she handed the box to Kirsky, Kite looked at the box very exquisitely, but she didn't know what it contained, but she was a little afraid that Murong Xi would use a vicious method to deal with Niangniang, so she was hesitating and couldn't open it.
Concubine Shu looked very anxious, and said expectantly: "Iris, quickly open it and show it to the palace." ”
After seeing the master's speech, Kite opened the box, and suddenly she was a little blindsided: "This is not ......" The words were not finished, and she felt that something was wrong. If she really said it, she would be exposed. Frightened, a cold sweat came out, but fortunately, at this time, Concubine Shu took over: "What is a kite?" ”
"Ah, mother, it looks like some sun-dried petals." Kite pretended to be very puzzled and looked at Murong Xi.
"Xi'er, what are these dried flowers for? Is it for bathing in the main palace? Concubine Shu moved her gaze to Murong Xi's body. Now the collection of flower petals to dry is only stored for use in the winter, because fresh petals can be used for bathing during this season. Therefore, Murong Xi must not let himself bathe and use it.
Murong Xi smiled sweetly, and then said, "A few days ago, I asked Mo'er to take people to the Imperial Garden and the garden where the last Hundred Flowers Banquet took to pick some petals. Some of them are whole flowers, and some are petals. However, I told them to be sure to sort and dry them so that they don't get mixed up. This small jar is the dried peony flower. Using peony flowers to make flower tea is very fragrant, not to mention, it can also beautify and nourish the skin. Of course, different flowers have different effects. I think about peony flowers, but they play a role in invigorating the blood, and if you drink it for a long time, it has a ruddy complexion. If you want to clear the liver and have dry eyes, you can soak chrysanthemums. Now the chrysanthemums have not bloomed, so Xi'er has not, so she can only wait until around the Mid-Autumn Festival to be picked. ”
Concubine Shu and Kite glanced at each other, and sure enough, the petals were not for bathing.
Concubine Shu seemed to like this peony flower very much, and immediately asked Kite to go down to change tea for her and Murong Xi.
Then he said: "Xi'er understands a lot, but these ladies don't understand it at all." ”
Murong Xi said: "I know a lot about some medicinal herbs, but I still heard an old doctor mention the effect of this flower. It's a pity that the season is over, and when it comes to March next year, I will pick some peach blossoms for Concubine Shu. Peach blossoms should not be drunk too much, and drinking some in moderation can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and make the complexion look like March peach blossoms. Hehe, this is also listening to the old doctor. He is generally a doctor who regulates the body of the wives of large families, so he has a certain amount of experience. As Murong Xi was talking, Kite came up with peony tea.
Lifting the lid, Concubine Shu smelled a burst of fragrance. Then he said: "I didn't expect that the peony flowers were brewed into tea, and the taste was so sweet?" ”
Murong Xi began to fool Concubine Shu again, regardless of whether she believed her or not, anyway, she would fool first.
"Concubine Shu doesn't know, if you insist on drinking all year round, you will also have this faint fragrance on your body."
Concubine Shu blinked, and then suddenly said as if she had discovered a new world: "Xi'er, Concubine Shu can always smell the fragrance of your body, but I have never seen you apply rouge gouache to your face. Could it be that the smell on your body is drunk from drinking flower tea? ”
burst
Mo'er's heart was already squirting.
Can her young lady fool people anymore? Is the scent on your body from tea?
Murong Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then continued: "Yes, but I didn't drink peony flowers. It was the old doctor, I don't know where to find the wild flowers in the mountains, I smelled very fragrant, but it was not so pungent compared to the fragrance of flowers, so I dried it and left. At that time, I was only ten years old, and I have been drinking it until now. Therefore, Xi'er doesn't need to rub any rouge gouache, and she will also have a faint fragrance on her body. ”
Murong Xi's expression made people angry when they looked at it. Who is this to send flower tea to Concubine Shugui, and there is a hint of pride in her eyes. She was dangling in front of Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu really wanted to slap her there.
Mo'er didn't look at their young lady, but looked at the sky, feeling really ashamed.
"Oh, so amazing? Then Bengong will try, and in the future, I will have to ask Xi'er to send more to Bengong. Concubine Shu saw that Murong Xi had finally stopped, so she began to speak. In fact, she had long wanted to block Murong Xi's mouth.
Such a girl, if she has a little good thing, she will come out to show off, and she will have the ability to remove the charm drunk silently? She really didn't believe it at all.
"Okay, Xi'er promised Concubine Shu that if there are petals better than peony flowers, she will definitely think of Concubine Shu as soon as possible." Murong Xi's eyes were bright.
Concubine Shu took a sip and felt that the taste was okay. Although this girl is a little annoying, it's really good.
At this time, Murong Xi spoke again: "If Concubine Shu feels that there is no taste, you can ask Kite to add some honey for you." Later, I'll send some roses and jasmine to my mother, which tastes even sweeter. ”
Concubine Shu nodded, and then with softness in her eyes, she said dotingly: "Xi'er still has a heart." ”
"Concubine Shu, you won't bother Xi'er when you're sick, I came to see you today, and then brought you these petals. Xi'er went back to the palace first, you take care of your body. Murong Xi blessed his body, and then left with Mo'er.
Concubine Shu didn't stop Murong Xi when she saw that she was leaving, and she wished she could leave quickly. Today's Murong Xi is so noisy that her ears can't stand it anymore.
"Master, is there really no problem with this tea?" Kite asked cautiously.
Concubine Shu nodded, and then said, "Drink it until there is a trace of sweetness in your mouth, and the taste is very good." Kite, you think too much, even if she really has a heart like a snake and scorpion, she will not poison the palace in Biyun Palace. However, if she is really that powerful, then this girl can really pretend. "Pretending to make people want to shoot her.
"It's the kite who is too worried. It turned out that she had made so many petals in the side hall just to make herbal tea. I thought she had some kind of conspiracy. Kite breathed a sigh of relief, she was really scared.
"Kite, actually, what you said is not unreasonable. The fragrance of the side hall is so strong, will it be to cover up the smell? Concubine Shu put down the teacup in her hand and said softly.
"What will it taste like, for the princess to pick so many petals?" Kite asked puzzled.
Concubine Shu shook her head, feeling that she was also thinking too much. So, she said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." In the future, let's be careful. ”
"Yes." Kite replied.
"By the way, it seems that there hasn't been movement over there in the Jade Pavilion for a long time......" Concubine Shu suddenly thought of Concubine Zhen, and she hadn't seen Concubine Zhen walk around the Biyun Hall these days.
"It's still used in the same amount as before, and the master can rest assured." Kite replied.
"Well, I'm just wondering why she hasn't come to my Biyun Hall recently." Concubine Shu said suspiciously.
"Master, I heard that I don't know who killed Concubine Zhen's cat. The technique was extremely cruel, and after the cat skin was peeled off, it was put in a box and sent back to the Jade Treasure Pavilion. Concubine Zhen may have been frightened, so she has been a little seriously ill recently, so she hasn't come over. Kite thought for a moment and said.
"This matter has been forgotten in the palace, first it was the matter of the Yuan Emperor's concubine, and then it was necessary to take care of the harem. Recently, Ya'er has had another problem, and it's true. Tomorrow morning, let's go to her palace to have a look. Concubine Shu said slowly.
"Yes, the slave will have the gift ready." The kite answered.
"Well, go ahead." After Concubine Shu leaned on the soft collapse, she couldn't help it, and took the flower tea and drank it again.
Speaking of Murong Xi, when he walked all the way to Ning Xi Palace, Mo'er followed behind him and had a good time.
"I said Mo'er, what's so ridiculous?" Murong Xi said helplessly.
Mo'er still had a smile in her eyes, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, you see that you bluffed Concubine Shugui, and she was stunned for a while. You can also drink flower tea all year round to bring fragrance on your body, why don't you say that you can become an immortal? ”
"I want to say, can she believe it? It's not for the sake of acting with her, it's not easy for me. Murong Xi's eyes were full of grievances and muttered.
However, Mo'er still rolled her eyes ruthlessly, she really despised their young lady.
"Can't you convince them in another way?"
"Hehe, get used to it." Murong Xi said with a smile.
They naturally knew that when Kite entered the medicine room last night, they must have seen the petals all over the hall. Instead of letting them guess, it is better to take the initiative to go to Biyun Hall to solve their doubts for their master and servant. Even if Concubine Shu thought of Murong Xi putting the petals in the side hall in order to taste it, it would be useless, because, in the medicine room, there is no medicinal smell at all now, and all the rest are floral. Murong Xi was really afraid that one day she would accidentally attract butterflies, so when she left, she ordered someone to collect all the flowers in the side hall.
No, early in the morning, I came over with Mo'er.
