Chapter Fifty-Eight: Drinking Tea
Two days later, the imperial doctor left the palace as scheduled and went to Famen Temple to ask Xiao Lu for a pulse.
In fact, where is the need to ask for a pulse, Xiao Lu, who stayed in Famen Temple, had already developed a high fever, and was lying on the bed with a red face, unable to get up.
Fortunately, the imperial doctor had already prepared some medicinal materials when he came, and after he hurriedly diagnosed Xiao Lu's pulse, he prescribed another prescription and took out the medicinal materials as usual, and asked the accompanying medicine boy to decoction the medicine immediately.
The Imperial Physician went to the hospital to find the group of guards who were ordered to guard the captain of the pennant guard here, explained to him the illness of the eldest princess, and asked him to send someone back to the palace to summon him.
Soon after the news was delivered to the palace, Emperor Chu, who heard the news, immediately sent someone out of the palace to Famen Temple to welcome Xiao Lu back to the palace.
When Emperor Liu's concubine heard Suihong tell the news of Xiao Lu's return to the palace, two little palace maids were dyeing dankou on her fingernails. The skin of Emperor Liu's concubine is white and tender, her ten fingers are slender, and she is more and more beautiful with the gorgeous and enchanting Dankou.
"It seems that my daughter was made into a raft." Emperor Liu's concubine coughed, and the two little palace maids immediately stopped, and Emperor Liu's concubine withdrew her hand, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, while saying. "Did Your Majesty also go to Yuxiu Palace?"
"Yes, sis. Not only did His Majesty personally visit Yuxiu Palace, but even the queen gave a lot of things to the eldest princess. Suihong echoed. However, the slave maid thought that Her Royal Highness the second princess might not know the eldest princess's calculations. The second princess Xu felt that the eldest princess pretending to be sick was just to return to the palace early, so why stop it, she had a grudge against her. Besides, wouldn't the eldest princess return to the palace earlier, wouldn't Niangniang feel more at ease? ”
"Come to think of it, Xuan'er, this kid is used to being a little ghostly." There were still two tail fingers that had not yet been dyed, and Concubine Liu handed her hand out again. "Suihong, the eldest princess has returned from illness and prayed, since Your Majesty and the Queen have expressed something, we in Yihua Palace also have to make some preparations. The eldest princess has the care of Her Majesty and the Queen, and all kinds of medicinal herbs and supplements will naturally be no less. I thought that the eldest princess was also a big girl now, but she had to dress up. Suihong, you go to the treasury and pick out the remaining few Yuehua brocades, and then pick out some gorgeous gold and silver jewelry, and then you take someone to Yuxiu Palace. ”
Suihong couldn't bear to laugh, when she borrowed a Yuehua brocade, the second princess made the eldest princess suffer a big loss, was scolded by Emperor Chu, offended the eldest princess of Yongshou, and was imprisoned for half a year.
The second princess is also promoted, and it is easy for the eldest princess to survive for half a year, and the second princess is holding Yuehuajin to provoke the eldest princess.
Now, Emperor Liu is angry that the eldest princess deliberately took the second princess as a raft, and wanted to use Yuehuajin as a gift to provoke the eldest princess.
Xiao Xuan went out for a walk, and when he came back to Yihua Palace, he happened to meet Suihong who was walking out with five palace maids.
Seeing Xiao Xuan come back, Suihong and the five palace maids all stopped and saluted her.
"Get up." Xiao Xuan curiously looked at the huge gift box held by the five palace maids, and asked suspiciously. "Suihong, where are you going with someone holding such a big box?"
"Back to the princess." Suihong said with a smile. "Your Majesty has sent someone to take the eldest princess back to the palace from Famen Temple today. I heard that the eldest princess was sick, and the imperial concubine specially ordered me to prepare a gift and let me send it to Yihua Palace. ”
"Oh, it did." Xiao Xuan listened to Suihong's words and learned that Xiao Lu had indeed been taken back to the palace to recuperate, but there was no surprise on her face. "I won't delay your errand, let's go."
"Yes, Princess."
Xiao Xuan didn't go back to his bedroom, but went straight to Emperor Liu's concubine.
She stopped at the door and took a look, and found that Emperor Liu was sitting on top of the soft collapse, not knowing what she was thinking. She whispered to the palace maids who followed her to wait at the door, and she stepped forward lightly.
Concubine Liu, who has always been sensitive, was not aware of her approach, so Xiao Xuan pounced and hugged Emperor Liuhuang from behind.
"Oops." Concubine Liu seemed to be taken aback, and turned around and scolded Xiao Xuan. "Hurry up, the freshly dyed dancome on my hand hasn't dried yet, beware of staining your clothes, I'll dye it again."
"Oh, got it." Xiao Xuan got up and walked around and sat down beside Emperor Liu's concubine. "The mother concubine asked Suihong to give a gift to the eldest sister?"
"Well, your father personally went to Yuxiu Palace to visit the eldest princess, and the queen also gave a lot of medicinal materials and supplements, as the imperial concubine, it's not good for me to just sit in my own palace and watch." Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows and said. "Your father and emperor have rarely gone to Yuxiu Palace once in recent years, I won't go to block Concubine Chen, Suihong is the most face-saving palace maid by my side, and it is naturally best for her to go for a trip."
"I see that the boxes held by the red-collar people are quite large, what did you send over, concubine?"
"Well, I thought about it, medicinal herbs and supplements must have been sent to Yuxiu Palace in the past two days, and I must have to send something different." Concubine Liu said with a smile. "I think of your big sister, she is also at the right age of youth, and girls at this age like to dress up. I specially asked Suihong to pick out some gorgeous jewelry and send it with a few brightly colored Yuehua brocades. ”
Xiao Xuan listened to the words of Emperor Liu's concubine, and held back for a long time before she couldn't help laughing. No wonder Suihong wants to put everything in a big brocade box, Yuehua Jin, who doesn't know in the head palace, if you go to Yuxiu Palace with Yuehua Jin all the way, I don't know how many people will be starved.
"Mother, the eldest sister's illness is indeed coming from the wrong way, but the imperial doctor's diagnosis is correct, and the eldest sister is really sick." Xiao Xuan couldn't help laughing. "Big sister, now it's not as good as before, when I see Yue Huajin, I'm afraid that I will also have hardship, so I can only swallow it. I heard that she still has a high fever, so how can it be good to really anger her body. ”
"You kid, didn't I come to give you a vent?" Concubine Liu Huang poked Xiao Xuan and said with white eyes. "She found out that your father had sent a pennant guard to follow her, and she couldn't do anything when she left the palace gate. I pretended to pray for some time in Famen Temple, but I couldn't take the initiative to speak when I wanted to come back, so I deliberately trampled my body to cause you to speak for her. Heh, she's been locked up for half a year, but she's a lot smarter. ”
"Mother, don't be angry, I naturally know that the mother concubine is for me." Xiao Xuan comforted Emperor Liu's concubine. "When the eldest sister reaches the age, when she marries and has her own princess mansion, she and I don't have much chance to meet. I saw it all, and my mother also saw it. ”
"It's up to you to say good things and bad things." Concubine Liu said helplessly. "In the past, when she was domineering, I always told you to fight with her less, and you listened to it. Now it's good, but did you come to me? ”
"Mother, people were young at that time." Xiao Xuan hugged Emperor Liu's arm tightly and said with a shake. "Besides, if it's because the eldest sister actually falls in love with Cousin Changjun, I won't always have to avoid her."
The gift prepared by Emperor Liu's concubine was sent to Yuxiu Palace, and sure enough, Xiao Lu's illness recurred that night. In the middle of the night, the imperial doctors went to Yuxiu Palace one by one. Some people say that Xiao Lu vomited blood after seeing Emperor Liu's ceremony, but Yuxiu Palace only said that Xiao Lu had a high fever and convulsions.
Fortunately, Emperor Chu took care of it, and the imperial doctors also took care of it, but after a few days, Xiao Lu recovered.
And Concubine Chen, who has been ill since the death of the old lady of Ding'an, and after watching her daughter recover from her illness, her kung fu situation has improved a lot in a few days.
Not to mention that after Xiao Lu came out of Qingjingxuan, perhaps because he was afraid of the ring rulers in the hands of the four grandmothers who were waiting on the side, Xiao Lu acted a lot more low-key. In addition, this time, Xiao Lu offered to pray for her grandmother and mother's concubine, and she went to Famen Temple to pray for blessings, and she also contracted an illness.
Emperor Chu valued Xiao Lu a lot, not only went to Yuxiu Palace to see Xiao Lu several times, but even his attitude towards Concubine Chen was much better.
Xiao Lu's life is indeed much better, and there are people waiting to see Xiao Xuan make trouble.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuan was very calm, except for taking the king of Yujun all over the palace every day and visiting the door, there was no unusual reaction.
On this day, Xiao Xuan took King Yujun to ask Emperor Chu for peace.
As soon as he entered the hall, he found that Xiao Lu was actually here.
"Father." Xiao Xuan was slightly stunned at the threshold, and before Emperor Chu and Xiao Lu could look over, she had already led King Yujun in. "Big sister."
"Xuan'er and Brother Yu are here again." Emperor Chu saw that his most beloved daughter and his most beloved eldest grandson came together, and naturally his face was full of smiles, and Emperor Chu immediately called people to prepare the things that Xiao Xuan and King Yujun loved to eat and drink. "Brother Yu is coming to the emperor's grandfather."
When Yujun Wang was still an infant, he often followed Xiao Xuan to accompany Emperor Chu, he was a clever child, and he also knew that Emperor Chu loved him. Emperor Chu only beckoned, and he ran over with his calves upside down.
King Yujun was born fat, and his body arched and squeezed Xiao Lu, who was still standing beside Emperor Chu, out of the way.
"Imperial grandfather, hug!" King Yujun stretched out his arms and begged for a hug at Emperor Chu.
"Good, good, good." When the baby grandson came, Emperor Chu naturally put down the emperor's shelf, like a grandfather of an ordinary people's family, with a loving smile on his face, leaned over and hugged King Yujun and rested on his lap.
King Yujun entangled Emperor Chu, and Xiao Lu, who was hanging on the side, tried to interject several times to no avail, so he had to retreat.
Looking at Xiao Lu, who had no choice but to retreat, Xiao Xuan sat comfortably in the lower position like a master, drinking fruit tea and eating snacks by herself.
"Big sister, sit down." Xiao Xuan looked up at Xiao Lu and greeted her warmly. "Brother Yu likes to stick to his father the most, and he can get tired of it for a while. My sister is just recovering from her illness, so she might as well sit down and take a break and taste this tea. ”
After that, Xiao Xuan took the initiative to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Lu.
"Thank you, sister." Facing Xiao Xuan's smiling face, Xiao Lu couldn't help but remember the things she received from Emperor Liu's concubine on the first day she returned to the palace, only to feel a burst of fishy sweetness surging after that.
