Chapter 82: Eating in the Corridor
"Wait!" Another medical officer suddenly hurried through the door, "One more thing. ”
"Doctor, please."
"Today's Bailu, the official family gave Chuanbei white pears to the princes and ministers, and asked the Tai Hospital to prepare Chuanbei powder and send it to the dining room before noon." He glanced at the two of us again, "Today, after the imperial doctor Zhang asked for peace for the queen mother, he needs to go out of the palace in the afternoon to the British Mansion to diagnose the pulse of the three young ladies in the palace, you go with him." ”
"No." Originally, I thought that I might be able to get some useful information after asking for the queen mother's pulse, and it was not impossible to take the risk of going to the official's bedroom to check, but it seems that it will not work today.
The medical officer pondered for a moment and said, "The palace rules are cloudy, if the Son of Heaven gives food as medicinal food, it must be distributed to the courtiers with the medical staff of the Tai Hospital. It's just that it's autumn now, and there are many people in the palace who are unhappy, from the lady to the female officials, guards, and even the palace maids, and the doctors and doctors are afraid that they will not be able to get busy. ”
"Since the two of you are also going out of the palace, I will go to the dining room to report after asking for the queen mother's pulse, and I will give food and distribute it at lunchtime."
"No, the lower officials will do their best." The two of us were calm on our faces, but our hearts were beating like drums.
This arrangement is too dangerous for us – the distribution of food has undoubtedly increased contact with too many unwanted people, and greatly increased the chances of detection.
After the medical officer left, I saw that Sun Jichen's face was a little pale, and he said softly, "Relax, just act as usual." ”
"This level must be passed."
Cining Palace is one of the first palaces to be completed, although the appearance is more ancient than the concubine dormitory palace that passed before, but the cleaning is spotless, making the whole palace majestic and secret.
The layout of the palace is extremely atmospheric, the furnishings are elegant and luxurious, and it can be seen that the owner's taste is excellent.
Sun Jichen and I followed Imperial Doctor Zhang with the medicine box on our backs, our chins were silent, and we stood in the outer hall waiting for the transmission. After a while, a solemn female official with a hairpin ring walked out and said loudly, "Pass the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse." ”
"In addition, Princess Duan is now talking to the Queen Mother in the palace, don't be rude."
"No."
Entering the inner hall and bowing to the queen mother and princess, Imperial Doctor Zhang respectfully stepped forward to ask for a pulse consultation, and Sun Jichen and I knelt aside.
"The mourning family felt that there was nothing unpleasant about his body, but he had some heart palpitations intermittently in the past month, but the symptoms were not serious, so he didn't care much." The Queen Mother's voice was gentle with a hint of seriousness, faintly with the momentum of the queen of the middle palace back then.
Imperial Doctor Zhang said, "The Queen Mother is a little old now, and now it is autumn, so it is normal to be slightly ill." Just follow the prescription prescribed by Wechen and take the medicine on time every day. ”
I knelt on the ground and quietly observed the Queen Mother's expression with my peripheral vision.
This chapter imperial doctor is really sleek.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you are the old imperial doctor in the palace, and the body of the queen mother's daughter can only be relieved if it is handed over to you."
"The queen mother and the princess appreciate this meager medical skill of the minister, and the minister should do his best."
The woman's voice has lost the youthfulness of a girl, and there is more mature confidence and charm, but I can still identify that she is the princess of my dreams - Su Yingxue.
"Alright, since it's all right, you can step aside." The Queen Mother instructed again, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, the third young lady of the British Mansion is pregnant with Liujia, and it has been more than seven months now, so you must be very careful when you go to see a doctor in the afternoon." ”
"The Queen Mother's entrustment, Weichen remembered it."
Sun Jichen and I were about to leave after bowing again with Imperial Doctor Zhang, and I noticed that when I got up, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother and Su Yingxue.
I secretly exchanged glances with Sun Jichen, and hurriedly followed Imperial Doctor Zhang to leave.
After the three of them left, Su Yingxue, who was sitting dignifiedly, suddenly softened, and the Jinpa in her hand also fell to the ground.
"Cher, are you alright?" Gu Qian noticed his daughter-in-law's gaffe and asked with concern.
"Mother, Erchen is fine, but I feel a little incredulous." Su Yingxue's expression was complicated, "Just now, when the accompanying Qingxiu doctor got up, I saw his face. ”
"At that moment, I really thought that Jun Qinglan had come back from the dead." Su Yingxue's body trembled slightly.
Gu Qian held her hand soothingly, "Don't be afraid, although the mourning family has also noticed it, it doesn't feel like it if you look at it twice." Besides, this little doctor is not right in terms of gender or age, so Xue'er should not be too careful. ”
Although she said this, the surprise in Gu Qian's heart was no less than that of Su Yingxue, but her years of experience in the harem made her not show this emotion.
Do women dress up as men...... But even then, there are too many things that don't go wrong.
Besides, Jun Qinglan was very determined to die back then, otherwise with her attainments in medicine and poison, she would never have died.
However, since a person so similar to Jun Qinglan suddenly appeared in front of him, he really had to pay more attention.
The steward of the dining room led the way at the front, and behind him was a large number of dining room men carrying food boxes, and Sun Jichen and I were sandwiched in the middle and went to the Jinluan Palace.
Every day in China, the officials' lunch is uniformly made and distributed by the dining room, and the place of the meal is in the wide corridor outside the Jinluan Palace, and the table will be placed in advance in the corridor, and the officials will sit in order according to the official position and surname in the order of the left and the right. Therefore, this meal is also called "Langxia Food".
In fact, in my opinion, sitting in this kind of half-leaky place in autumn and winter, there may be your immediate boss sitting not far away, and there are officials around you staring at your words and deeds.
However, Sun Jichen and I were not in the crowd of tosses - after the two of us came out of Cining Palace, we went to the dining room to report and have lunch, this arrangement was to prevent the people who distributed the meals from being too hungry and stealing food.
After our group was in place, the eunuch in charge came to check that it was correct, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Rank and file, the Son of Heaven will give you food!" ”
So the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down together to thank the emperor, and the huge scene made me and Sun Jichen feel the trouble of eating in the palace again.
"Doctor Ren, Doctor Sun, the Chuanbei white pear given today is medicinal food, and I ask you to go with the old slave." The eunuch glanced at the two of us and said.
The rule of the Chinese dynasty is that officials below the sixth rank go to court on the first, fifth and seventh days, and officials of the sixth rank and above go to the court on the first, second, fifth, seventh and ninth days, and some important official officials need to go to court every day. Today is the 7th of September, which coincides with Bailu, and it is also a day when officials come in a particularly complete way.
The officials had already sat down under the corridor according to the civil and military official positions, and Sun Jichen caught a glimpse of a few overly burly and vicious looking military attachés in the military attache team, and his legs and stomachs couldn't help but tremble.
Eventually, the two of us naturally separated, with me in charge of following the attendant who distributed meals to the military attaché, and he was in charge of the civilian officer.
I actually have some bottom in my heart, after all, there seem to be quite a lot of "acquaintances" in the military attache team.
I lowered my head and began to take out a cup of Chuanbei white pears and place them on everyone's table. Unexpectedly, when the second cup was reached, the "situation" appeared.
