Chapter 18: First Lunch

The people of Qiuyun Pavilion heard that the emperor went to Yunyan Pavilion overnight and returned to Taihe Palace, so they couldn't help but sit still.

But it's all dark on this day, and it's bedtime in a while, where can she take an umbrella to Yunyan Pavilion to block the emperor? When the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat fragrantly, and I will have to provoke the emperor not to see him.

The thin cloak that had already been put on was torn off by Xia Cairen and thrown into the hands of the palace maid, "I heard that Yao Cairen is sick, the emperor should go to see her tomorrow, and it will not be too late for me to go tomorrow." ”

The palace maid Qiuhong steadily caught this thin cloak embroidered with peony flowers on the silver satin face. Xia Cairen's life is actually not comfortable, this cloak was sent by Guan Shanggong after the previous bedtime, and he has not been summoned again, and he has never come to send new clothes.

When she first lived in the back garden, Xia Cairen brought a few bags of silver from her mother's house, and she had nothing to do to ask this and that to spend silver to make new clothes in Shangyi Prison, but two years have passed in a blink of an eye, where is the silver she brought enough for her to squander? Even the garments have lost their new color, they have become old and ugly, and the patterns on them are outdated.

Qiuhong looks at other talented and beautiful people, and now she can take out her deposit, and she can at least make one or two more new clothes in the first quarter. Looking at his own master again, he blamed the palace maids for this kind of squandering of silver and not being favored, saying that they suppressed their own luck.

As soon as she entered the palace, she was worried about her favor, and said that she would be favored within half a year, but after a year or two like this, she lost her previous heart, and her conversation with the palace people eased a lot. Who knew that after the emperor summoned the servants to bed a while ago, she went back to her old ways, scolded her palace people when she was in a bad mood, and stretched out her hand to beat people at every turn.

Autumn red is the envy of the rain and snow in the heart. When she accompanied Xia Cairen to Yunyan Pavilion, she couldn't go into the house to serve, so she was guarding outside the door. She quietly looked up at Yao Cairen in the house when the door was open, although she was beautiful but not ruthless, although she was favored, she was not pampered and proud, and she was not like Xia Cairen to herself about the rain and snow, how could she not be envious?

Looking at his own master, compared with Yao Cairen, it is really not enough to see.

You don't have to think about it to know who the emperor will like more, right?

The palace maid Qiu Sui on the side is a year younger than her, but her heart and eyes are much more than her, and she stammers Xia Cairen all day long, and she told Xia Cairen about the last time she sent an umbrella to the rain.

Qiu Hong didn't like Qiu Sui like this, but she was helpless. Qiu Sui did this completely for herself to live comfortably in the future, because only when the master was favored could she come out, but Qiu Hong felt that Xia Cairen messing around with her completely violated the principle of concubine virtue and virtue.

This can only be thought about, where does she dare to persuade a sentence and a half?

Early the next morning, Yao Chuxi's fever was well concealed, but because of the emperor's sudden arrival last night, it was known by the people in the back garden.

When Jiang Liu got up early to get breakfast, he still felt that someone was whispering something behind him, and when he looked back, there were only two little eunuchs with brooms sweeping the long street.

Before coming out, Luo Yu had already told him that this might be the case, and he didn't think much about it, it was important to pass food to the master.

Yuan Shaoyu knew that this Yao Cairen had a cold, and early in the morning, he heard from his apprentice from elsewhere that the emperor went to Yunyan Pavilion last night, so where could he be lazy?

The most important thing that people who have wind and cold want to drink is porridge, and the most nourishing thing is also porridge, and coincidentally, Yao Cairen also likes to drink porridge. Yuan Shaoyu didn't need his apprentice to do it this time, he got busy himself, made a porridge of rice and mung beans, boiled it thick, put some chicken breast, and boiled an egg.

The dish he asked his apprentice to make was a lotus leaf curly meat. The lotus flowers in autumn are all defeated, and only some lotus leaves can still be flavored in the dish, and the fragrance is what Yao Cairen likes.

Another dish has a very nice name, it is called skillfully roasted Yanying, Yao Cairen has never tasted it, and it must also meet her taste.

People with wind and cold will not feel comfortable in their throats, Yuan Shaoyu knew it, and soaked some honey water and put it in the food box.

Jiang Liu had not yet arrived at the Yunyan Pavilion with the food box, and from a distance, he saw the imperial rolling stopped outside the door of the Yunyan Pavilion, and several eunuchs were guarding the imperial roller, and the emperor should have gone in for a while.

Jiang Liu quickened his pace, walked steadily with the food box, and entered the Yunyan Pavilion in a few steps. As soon as Pan Zhenan came out of the house, Jiang Liu showed a pleasant smile at him, and Pan Zhenan also nodded back at him.

"The emperor came really early today."

"You don't need to go to the early court today, the emperor is worried about talented people, so he naturally has to come early." Pan Zhenan said as he let go of the position in front of the door, and Luoshuang in the house came out to take the food box and brought it in, leaving Jiang Liu and Pan Zhenan outside the door.

"When did Yao Cairen feel uncomfortable?" Pan Zhenan suddenly asked.

"Back to my father-in-law, our little master's throat was uncomfortable a few days ago, and he has been itching and afraid of cold, and he blames the slave for being careless, and he didn't take care of the little master's body, so the little master got the cold."

Although Jiang Liu told the truth, he understood that these words were not enough to convince Pan Zhenan, and no matter who he said to him, he could not fully believe it.

Pan Zhenan didn't ask much, chattered a few words and turned around and entered the house.

Yao Chuxi couldn't eat at the same table with the emperor because of the cold, but fortunately, the emperor didn't mind too much, but at the request of Pan Zhenan, he put the dishes on another plate, and everyone ate their own food to save their illness.

"I see you didn't eat much yesterday, but the dining room is weak?"

"Back to the emperor, Manager Yuan is very thoughtful, it's not that he's wrong, but that the concubines are weak, and they can't digest well after drinking some decoctions, so they have been nauseous and sleepy, so they can't eat."

"Why don't you change to an older doctor to take a good look at you? If you can prescribe some prescriptions to nourish your body and stomach and cure diseases, you can also suffer less sins. ”

Yao Chuxi refused without thinking about it.

She has never liked to trouble others, let alone this kind of thing that has already had results, so why should she find someone to walk so far?

The emperor understood her reluctance to trouble people, and secretly called Duan Kui to ask for a doctor.

This time, the imperial doctor has been practicing medicine in the palace for decades, and when the emperor first ascended the throne, he was the second-in-command of the imperial hospital, and the first leader died thirteen years ago, so he naturally took over the position of the first leader.

Now that he is old, his white beard has grown a lot, a few years older than the previous emperor, and letting him come back to Yunyan Pavilion really made Yao Chuxi feel uncomfortable for a long time.

When diagnosing the pulse, the young doctor seemed to feel it, and said two words that relieved Yao Chuxi, and continued to diagnose the pulse.

After half a ring, he said a few words that were very similar to Imperial Doctor Meng, and the prescription was also the one that changed the soup without changing the medicine, but added a few herbs to warm the body and nourish the body.

The emperor may have remembered that the imperial physician was old and it was not easy to make a trip, so he ordered Pan Zhenan to reward him with some things, and Duan Kui personally sent him back to the hospital.

Yao Chuxi drank a bowl of freshly fried decoction uncomfortably, felt a little bitter, and coughed twice.

The frost and snow next to him seemed to be in a good mood, and he kept smiling, and Yao Chuxi, who was looking at it, was confused.

How did she know what was the matter of falling frost and snow?

When Yao Chuxi was in the back room to check the pulse, Xia Cairen came and said that he was taking an umbrella, and after taking the umbrella, he said that he wanted to see Yao Cairen, but in short, he refused to leave.

In the end, the emperor gave her two words with a cold face and 'invited' to leave.

When the snow falls, they see it really. The clothes Xia Cairen wore this time were similar to what his master usually wore, with a goose-yellow water wave skirt on the lower body, a crescent-white dark flower palace dress on the upper body, and a flower next to his ear, so he was obviously prepared.

Not only them, but even the emperor saw it.

He didn't give Xia Cairen a good face, he kept his head down and drank tea and occasionally asked Luoxue a few words about Yao Chuxi, as if there was no Xia Cairen next to him.

Xia Cairen didn't feel ashamed, and he refused to leave in Yunyan Pavilion.

In the end, the emperor said in front of her that Yao Cai was sick and needed to recuperate, and all idlers were blocked outside, so he sent her cheeky away.

Falling rain was in the back room at the time, and I didn't see that scene, but it was really happy.

Xia Cairen is such an unrighteous and cheeky person, if it weren't for the emperor's presence, she wouldn't be able to be subdued by relying on the master alone.

Always bluffing the emperor with the drama of sisterhood? The emperor is so easy to deceive?

After all, this matter also started because of Yao Chuxi, and the snow and frost closed their mouths tacitly, saving her from worry.

The emperor stayed in Yunyan Pavilion until lunch, and this was the first time Yao Chuxi accompanied the emperor for lunch.

The dining room is really full of eighteen kinds of cooking skills.

Why do you say eighteen? There are two soups alone, one is clear soup snow fungus soup, and the other is straw mushroom black chicken soup. The clear soup and snow fungus soup are light in the mouth, all of which are the flavors of fungus and bird's nest, and there is no meat at all. Straw mushroom black chicken soup is the first choice to nourish the body and replenish qi, and Yuan Shaoyu naturally wants to pick up good things and send them to Yunyan Pavilion.

The dishes are not cold, but also neat and neat. The first thing to take out of the food box was crab roe and shrimp, followed by a crispy fried crucian carp, a lamp-burned elbow, and a dish of salt-fried pork.

Luo Yu immediately brought another square table from the storeroom, carefully wiped it with a wet handkerchief, and carried it into the house after making sure that it was okay.

Yao Chuxi didn't need two tables by himself, so when the rain fell, he put another square table issued by the inner palace supervisor when the master first entered the palace in the treasury, and covered it with a cloth to cover the ashes.

The dense plates and cups occupied the two square tables that were put together, and this battle really shocked everyone in the Yunyan Pavilion, and the people from the Taihe Hall seemed to be commonplace, and their eyes showed dissatisfaction with these two square tables.

The emperor was natural, and reached out to pick up the dishes and put them in Yao Chuxi's plate.

It turns out that the dinner is simple, the breakfast is light, and the real luxury is here?

Nian Taiyi's medical skills were really good, and Yao Chuxi, who used his prescription to decoction the decoction, only drank one bowl, and ate more for lunch.
