Chapter 161: The Afterlife
After the others took Zhang Ting away, and the emperor rewarded Chu Mi and the female doctor, only Shi Qingqian was left in the palace.
"Qingqi, you have made a great contribution this time, what reward do you want, just ask for it."
When facing Shi Qingqian, Shen Lun's demeanor was always so gentle.
"The courtiers don't have anything to want," Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned, and said with a smile, "The emperor should know that the courtiers don't save people to get rewards." ”
Shen Lun smiled from the bottom of his heart, reached out and stroked his beard, "I know, you girl once or twice, you refuse to ask for a reward for yourself, what, do you still want me to owe you all along?" ”
Seeing Shen Lun making such a joke, Shi Qingqian also laughed, "The courtiers don't dare, it's just that the courtiers really don't know what to write." ”
Shen Lun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and picked up a delicate small brocade box from the table, and when he opened the brocade box, he saw that there was a piece of jade similar in size to the token displayed inside. Shen Lun handed the brocade box to Shi Qingqian, "This thing, do you like it?" ”
"What is this?" Shi Qingqian looked at the jade and saw the word 'treasure' engraved on it. knew that this jade was not an ordinary jade pendant, but Shi Qingqian didn't know what it was used for.
"There are 16,000 acres of small counties in the south of the Yangtze River, although the place is not big, and it is far away from the capital, but this Baoying County is located on the most fertile soil in my Dayu country, with east-west transportation and rich economy," Shen Lun paused, and said with a frown, "I will give you this Baoying County today, from today onwards, you will be the lord of Baoying County, eat thousands of yi, and enjoy the wealth!" ”
Shi Qingqian was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that the emperor was so generous and rewarded himself with a fief.
She remembered her previous ideal, which was to go to a place with mountains and rivers to be at ease, and this Jiangnan was the good place she dreamed of.
Shi Qingqian no longer blindly shirked, she carefully held the jade plate in her hand, and knelt respectfully in front of Shen Lun, "Courtier, thank the emperor for his grace!" ”
Shi Qingqian never dreamed that from now on, she would not only have a higher status, but also live a good life of eating Qianyi, and when she thought of the scene when she counted the money and counted her hands numb, she felt happy in her heart. After all, he is one step closer to his lifelong dream, and who can't wake up from a dream and laugh?
The matter of Concubine Shugui's birth tossed for most of the night, and the emperor asked Shi Qingqian to rest in the palace in the eastern suburbs for a few more days.
Early the next morning, it was time for everyone to go home, Shen Lun sent the eunuch to inform Shi Yuan of them, Shi Yuan and the eldest lady had no choice but to go back to the house first.
In fact, Shen Lun left Shi Qingqian also selfishly, Concubine Shugui's current body is as fragile as a piece of paper, most of the imperial doctors in the palace are old-fashioned, but Shi Qingqi's medical skills are good at using miracle medicines, he left her behind, and he also wanted Shi Qingqi to help regulate her body.
The next day, Shi Qingqian slept until noon and woke up. When I woke up, the eastern suburbs palace was mostly empty, and in addition to the officials, the emperor and Shen Mi had also returned to the palace. Only a lot of eunuchs of the palace maids were left, as well as Chu Mi and the female doctor were also responsible for staying to take care of Concubine Shugui.
I heard that it was Concubine Shugui who was afraid of the queen's revenge, so she was reluctant to return to the palace. Shen Lun also agreed, asking her to return to the palace after adjusting her body.
When Shi Qingqian changed his clothes and left the Lotus Hall where he lived, he was so excited by the cold air outside that he sneezed a few times.
"Didn't you cover the quilt when you went to bed last night?"
Shen Shu's voice came from behind him, Shi Qingqian stumbled on his feet, and when his face was less than half a meter away from the ground, a pair of big hands behind him grabbed his waist and pulled him up.
Shen Shu gently put Shi Qingqian back on the ground as if he had placed a doll.
"Shen, Shen Shu?" Shi Qing looked at him in a daze, "Huh? Why didn't you leave? ”
Shen Shu smiled, took off his cloak and put it on Shi Qingqian's head, and gently touched her with his big hand: "The emperor was afraid that you would be bored alone, so he asked me to stay with you." ”
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian smiled stupidly, and unceremoniously wrapped Shen Shu's cloak tightly, "Hehe, the emperor really has a heart!" ”
Shi Qingqian didn't know that it was not Shen Lun who asked Shen Shu to stay, it was Shen Shu who heard that Shi Qingqian was left to take care of Concubine Shu's body, so he asked Shen Lun to stay here on the grounds that he had just returned to Beijing and needed to recuperate.
"By the way, I'm going to see Concubine Shu, do you want to go with me?"
Shen Shu nodded, he was originally not a person who would move around with the harem concubines, but in order to accompany Shi Qingqian, it didn't hurt to walk around.
The two walked side by side, followed by Xiaolian and Changgo, and went to Concubine Shugui's residence together.
Concubine Shu's spirit has improved a lot, but just after giving birth, her whole body has lost her strength, and it is estimated that she will not be able to get out of bed for more than ten days.
Shen Shu and Changwu felt that it was inconvenient for men to go in on this occasion, so they waited outside.
The concubine on the bed was pale, but there was already a light in her eyes, perhaps because she knew that she had given birth to a little prince, and her whole person was radiant. When she saw Shi Qingqian coming, she asked her to come over to her bedside very affectionately.
"Qing ...... Ah no, now I have to call the Lord of Baoying. Concubine Shu said with a smile.
Shi Qingqian sat down on the stool that Ah Xiu had moved, and Xiaolian helped her take off Shen Shu's cloak, "Concubine Shu, don't tease me like this, you still call me Qingqi." ”
"I'm not joking, I'm really congratulating you." Concubine Shu said, "You don't know how relieved I felt when the emperor left you behind. ”
While speaking, Chu Mi came over with a bowl of medicine, stood in the outer room and said, "Guifei Niangniang, your decoction is ready." ”
Afraid that someone would get in the way again, Chu Mi decided to take full responsibility for the matter of boiling the medicine.
"Imperial Doctor Chu, what is the prescription for this recuperation medicine?" Shi Qingqian asked curiously.
Chu Mi's voice came from outside the door, "Little county lord, this is not a recuperation medicine, it is a blood tonic for blood and qi, and this recuperation minister is still waiting for you to open it." ”
Concubine Shu also nodded, "Yes, the emperor said it himself before leaving, asking Imperial Doctor Chu to ask you before prescribing medicine, you little girl, your medical skills are better than this old lady!" ”
"This is the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave." Imperial Physician Chu was not annoyed, but said with self-deprecation. A person who has medical ethics in his heart will not be jealous because the medical skills of his younger generation are higher than his own, on the contrary, what he wants to see most is that there are terrible descendants who can have more sophisticated medical skills.
Shi Qingqian was shy when he was said, and hurriedly said that he was going to prescribe a prescription. She remembered that there was a pair of Chinese medicine in modern medicine, which was used for postpartum recovery, and that medicine had been patented, so she decided to follow the prescription for taking the medicine.
"Imperial Doctor Chu, you can use wolfberry, deer gum, perilla seed, Yuanzhi, Chuanmu Tong ......" Shi Qingqian said more than 20 medicinal herbs in a row, and then stopped, "The ones mentioned above, brew them with boiling water before entering the medicine, then pound them into medicinal puree, then wrap them in gauze, throw them into hot water and boil, and the medicinal soup that comes out is a good medicine for recovery." ”
Imperial Physician Chu was dazzled when he heard this, "So many flavored medicines? "Ancient Chinese medicine was still relatively cautious, and did not dare to mix too many medicines together, but Shi Qingqian swore that this medicine would work, and he had to do it.
On the way to grab the medicine, Imperial Physician Chu sighed, he completely became a little errand......
