Chapter 92
"Do you remember what snacks the two princesses ate on the fourth day of junior high school?" Xiangru continued to ask.
"Need to know that detailed? This palace called you to find a way for the princess, and you always ask what happened that day? Seeing that Xiangru was delaying the topic, Concubine De was a little impatient.
The maid was angry, and the maid just wanted to know more clues, so that she could correctly judge the root of the princess's illness, so as not to misdiagnose her. Please also let the mother know in detail. ”
Concubine De listened to what Xiangru said reasonably, suppressed her emotions, and said: "Although it is a little rare to eat, but there is nothing special, the two princesses like a sweet dish of fried apple rings, dipped in honey and various flavors of jam to eat, the taste is sweet and sour, they ate all the plates." ”
"Niangniang, are there any other snacks?"
"Everything else is just some pastries, oh yes, and a syrup. This sugar water is "quite strange", it is said that the cook learned it from the people, using the fruit of overseas tribute, cutting and digging into a hollow from it, and then putting various things into it to steam, a bit like the practice of pumpkin cup, the taste is sweet, and the princess has eaten a lot. ”
"Have you ever eaten that fruit before?"
"Never, once I saw them, but looking at Concubine Yu, they seem to eat often."
Xiangru added a little more clarity in her heart, the concubines were strictly hierarchical, and not everyone had the right to enjoy even the fruits that were paid overseas tribute.
Thinking like this, Xiangru became more and more sure that something must have happened between the two princesses while eating snacks.
"Niangniang, please allow the maid to say a few words to the princess."
"Why do you have so many questions? The princess doesn't have to pay attention to you. ”
"The maid understands, and asks the mother for permission."
Concubine De couldn't help it, so she patted the 'girl', pointed at Xiangru, and coaxed her to say a few words to Xiangru.
The little princess has a big shelf, and her mother coaxes a few words, but she doesn't look at people with her eyes, and she just drills into the arms of the concubine.
Seeing the little princess like this, Xiangru fully understood why so many imperial doctors had not been able to diagnose the root cause of the disease before, and the little princess really didn't cooperate at all.
Heart disease also needs heart 'medicine' medicine, and Xiangru has a way.
Xiangru smiled faintly, bent down to open the 'medicine' box, took out a long thin rope from it, and wrapped the fingers of her left hand upwards while approaching the little princess and squatted down to look up at the fifth princess.
"Fifth princess, do you want to see a little folk trick? The maid can play, and if the princess can tell the mystery of the trick, the maid will turn around and leave, and never disturb the princess again. Would the princess be willing to make this bet with her servant? ”
The little princess hugged Concubine De's waist tightly, tilted her head sideways and squinted at Xiangru, with no expression on her face and no words on her lips.
Xiangru didn't care about her, took care of the preparations herself, and then shook the left hand that had been wrapped around the rope at the princess and the concubine, so that they could see clearly that the left hand was full of knots.
Then, Xiangru kept her left hand still, and gently pulled the other end of the rope with her right hand, obviously all five fingers were wrapped around the rope, but starting from the little finger, the fingers were smoothly released, and the rope head finally slipped from the thumb.
After solving it again, Xiangru came back again, still in front of the five princesses, re-wound the rope around the five fingers of her left hand, and then slowly pulled the rope to the end, and finally moved the five fingers of her left hand to show the end of the trick.
The five princesses live in the palace for a long time, although they don't have to worry about eating well and dressing well, but in terms of vision, in a certain aspect, they are really not as good as folk children. This rope play performed by Xiangru is the most basic kind of trick, and in the previous life, even kindergarten children would find it boring, but the fifth princess was completely attracted.
Xiangru saw the expression of the fifth princess in her eyes and smiled in her heart, and at the same time came three times slowly and methodically in her hands.
"Did the fifth princess see the 'door'? As long as the princess says the 'door' way, the maid will never say a word, and immediately retreat, so as not to disturb the princess's tranquility. ”
The little princess was completely aroused by her curiosity and competitiveness at this time, and unconsciously left the arms of De Concubine, leaned over slightly, and her eyes were biting Xiangru's technique without blinking, and when Xiangru finished performing these three times, the little princess reached out from Xiangru's hand to ask for the rope, and tried to wrap it around her hand.
Those who like to watch magic shows know that the more simple the props, the higher the 'sexuality' of magic skills, and the more interesting they are. Xiangru can only be regarded as an amateur's level, and this level is enough to coax a child like the fifth princess.
The fifth princess only looked at it three times, but she didn't find the trick of winding the rope at all, and she tried several times and failed, so she threw the rope to the ground in some anger and threw herself back into the arms of the concubine.
"Does Her Royal Highness admit that she lost this gamble?" Xiangru picked up the rope and put it back in the 'medicine' box, turned her head and asked the fifth princess with a gentle smile.
"No, this palace didn't promise your gamble, just now doesn't count." The little princess shouted playfully.
"Well, will Her Royal Highness play a separate game with her servant? No props, only two hands, if Your Highness can learn exactly the same, the servant will admit defeat. Xiangru opened her hands and moved her fingers, and then applied ******.
The little princess didn't make a sound, but a pair of dark eyes pinched Xiangru directly, as if she wanted to see what kind of 'trick' Xiangru was playing.
Xiangru was the princess by default, smiling and pulling her sleeves up to her elbows, turning her wrists back and forth to show that she was not hiding anything.
Then the arms are naturally stretched out to the ground, the right wrist is stacked on the left wrist, turn the wrist, the palms of both hands are facing each other, the ten fingers are 'crossed' into a fist, and then folded downward from the inside to the outside, take the arm in front of the 'chest' twisted into an angle, put the two thumbs against the chin, at the same time release the other eight fingers and open the palm, turn the wrist again, just 'crossed' the thumbs together are magically separated.
"How about it, Your Royal Highness Princess, can you learn it?"
The little princess blinked her eyes a few times, snorted, sat up straight again, and said contemptuously: "You are too simple, see what this palace does for you." ”
The little princess rolled up her sleeves in the same way, and learned all the same according to the actions Xiangru had just done, but when it came to the last joint, after the thumbs of both hands were pressed against the chin and the other eight fingers were released, no matter how she turned her wrists, the thumbs of both hands were 'crossed' together, and the wrists and fingers were pinned to each other, and she couldn't release her hands as easily and simply as Xiangru.
"It can't be!" The little princess shouted again.
"How so? It's very simple. Xiangru seemed to be angry, and repeated it over and over again, no matter how many times she did it, it was the same.
"Mother concubine~" The little princess asked for help from Concubine De. Concubine De has actually seen it interesting for a long time, and she can't wait to learn it when the 'girl' asks for it, but the result is the same, and the last action just can't be done smoothly.
"Qing'er, you can try." Concubine De looked for the beautiful palace maid next to her. The palace maid studied it again, but she didn't find where the 'door' was, so she smiled helplessly and put down her hands.
"How is it, Your Highness Princess, do you admit defeat?"
"No, it must be that you played some 'tricks', hmph, bullying this palace and not knowing it."
"Oh, wronged, Your Highness, don't dare to bully Your Highness if you give your servant ten guts." The hat buttoned down by the little princess was too big, and Xiangru didn't dare to bear it.
"Then you tell Hongu, what the hell is going on?"
"If the servant tells the trick, can Your Highness also answer the servant's question?"
"Okay, you're only allowed to ask one question."
"Okay." The tactics finally worked, and Xiangru stopped teasing the princess, "The princess carefully looked at the order of the ten fingers. ”
Xiangru did it again, this time deliberately raising her arms high, so that Princess De Concubine could see clearly her ten-finger 'crossing' method. This technique looks fun, but to put it bluntly, it is worthless, and it just uses the habits of right-handed people.
Right-handed people, when the ten fingers of both hands are 'intertwined', the habitual 'sex' is that the right hand is on the top and the left hand is down, and the thumb of the right hand is pressed against the thumb of the left hand.
In this trick, when the ten fingers are 'crossed', they have to be reversed, with the left thumb pressing the right thumb, and the other four fingers 'crossing' in the trend.
In this way, in the last level, when the thumb is against the chin, the eight fingers are released, and the palm is flattened, the wrist is first homeopathic, and then after turning the wrist, the 'crossed' thumbs are also separated by the homeopathy.
After listening to the trick, the three princesses suddenly realized, and couldn't help but learn it again, and found that this was the case, and laughed together.
"How is it, Your Highness, can the servant ask questions?"
"Okay, only one is allowed, and one more will not answer you." The little princess raised her little face and pretended to be serious.
"Your Highness." Xiangru slowly stood up with a smile on her face, straightened her clothes, and then pretended to continue inadvertently, "Your Royal Highness has a noble status, and has eaten a lot of things that others have not eaten, like the fried apple rings that Niangniang just said, the maid is lonely and unheard, and she never knew that apples could be eaten like this, and it was already very surprising that she had only eaten plucked apples." ”
"What is the delicious apple of the silk drawing, this palace has long been tired of eating it, so you think it is delicious." The little princess was very disdainful of the plucked apples.
"Yes, the princess has eaten so many delicious foods, even the rare fruits that have been paid tribute from overseas, and we have never seen it as subordinates."
"Hmph, that fruit is so good, it's terrible, it's not a big thing at all, don't mention that!" The little princess suddenly started a fire, and her voice was so high that she startled Concubine De and Qing'er.
"Oh, what's wrong, Wu'er?" Concubine De hurriedly took the fifth princess into her arms and coaxed.
"Niangniang, the root of Her Royal Highness's anorexia has been found." Xiangru stood in front of the concubine and saluted upright.
"Is the root of it all that fruit syrup that day?" Qing'er came over and said, Concubine De was busy coaxing the child and didn't have time to pay attention to Xiangru.
"Judging by His Highness's reaction, it must be so. It must have been at the time of a snack. Something unpleasant happened that has made His Highness haunted to this day. ”
"Mother, what should I do?!" Qing'er looked at Concubine De nervously. Once the root of the disease has been found, the princess is no longer simple, but can be big or small, at least it is just a common anorexia among young children, and at worst, it is a struggle between concubines and concubines, after all, Concubine Yu's sixth princess is more noble than her own five princesses. Concubine De also understood in her heart, but this time, she only cared about coaxing the child, and she couldn't think of any way to deal with it in her head.
"Well, Wu'er, don't mention it, don't mention it, we are not uncommon to see any things. Ah, obedient~"
"Ragged, that's rag, but we don't even have the qualifications to eat that rag! Woo~" The little princess cried very sadly, and the grievances that she had held back for so many days finally came out at this moment.
"This ......" Concubine De didn't expect the 'girl' to say this, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she was so anxious that she had to jump to her feet, Qing'er stepped forward and wanted to pick up the princess, but the little princess punched and kicked to prevent Qing'er from touching herself.
Xiangru didn't have any experience in dealing with such a scene, and was scratching her head to help think of an idea, her eyes inadvertently swept over the kang table, and when she saw the fruit plate on the table, Xiangru suddenly had an idea
Entering the 'Door'
