Tian Meicai had just drunk a bowl of fetal medicine, her mouth was bitter and numb, and Qingluo brought a small plate of candied fruit to her.

"The master eats a candied fruit to relieve the bitterness."

Tian Meiren saw that the plate was dry hawthorn strips, so she had no appetite.

Qingluo said with a smile: "This is a freshly made candied fruit just sent by the tea room, sweet and sour, the master tastes it." ”

Tian Meiren was suspicious, twisted a bite and took a small bite, but it was not as dry and hard as she imagined. The mouth was soft and sour, but it was more honey-sweet, so I ate the rest of it.

Qingluo said with a smile: "This method is still what Ah Zhen said to the slave maid, and the slave asked the tea room to do it." ”

Before Qingluo's words fell, he heard the slave and maid outside report that the doctor had come to ask for a pulse, and Qingluo smiled: "It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”

Shen Yunzhen walked into the room with the medicine box on her back, and when she saw Tian Meiren and Qingluo looking at her and smiling, she felt a little strange in her heart: "The slave maid asks for the beauty." ”

Tian Meiren raised her hand: "Get up and talk back, this palace told Qingluo about you just now, but it happened to be here." ”

Shen Yunzhen lowered her eyes slightly and asked, "What does the beauty say about slaves?" ”

Tian Meiren picked up a hawthorn strip and sent it to her mouth and said: "You are not only good at medicine, but you can also make candied fruit." ”

Shen Yunzhen caught a glimpse of a small celadon plate on the table with some hawthorn strips, which were really similar in color to what she had eaten at home when she was a child.

I remember that I loved to eat dim sum when I was a child, what kind of sweet cake, aunt cake, osmanthus cake, Poria cake, as long as it is soft and glutinous dim sum, I can't stop eating it. I don't want to give up until my stomach is round. After eating too much dim sum and not digesting it, her father asked the cook to make hawthorn strips according to this ingredient for her to eat. Appetizing and delicious, sweet and silky is delicious.

Shen Yunzhen smiled slightly and said, "This is just a folk snack, as long as the beauty likes it." ”

"It was a coincidence that I came here after seeing this palace."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone talking outside the window, and seeing that it was Concubine Jiang Xian, Tian Meiren got up to greet her: "Say hello to Sister Concubine Xian." ”

Concubine Jiang Xian raised her hand and said, "It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant, sit down and talk, don't be so polite." ”

Tian Meiren smiled and let Concubine Jiang Xian take the upper seat: "Why is Sister Concubine Xian free today?" ”

Concubine Jiang Xian looked down and saw that there was the plate of hawthorn strips on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the folk snack that the doctor said?" ”

Tian Meiren glanced at Shen Yunzhen and nodded: "Sister, taste it, it tastes good." ”

Concubine Jiang Xian also tasted one and said, "It's stronger than what is made in the palace, is there any special recipe?" ”

Tian Meiren pointed at Shen Yunzhen and said, "No, the person who wrote the formula is here." ”

Concubine Jiang Xian glanced at Shen Yunzhen, as if she was a little surprised.

Shen Yunzhen is walking on thin ice in this palace, and what she is most afraid of is being stared at with strange eyes. Concubine Jiang Xian stared at her for a while, seeing that she was uncomfortable from head to toe, so she found an excuse to retreat.

Concubine Jiang Xian didn't say anything, but sat with Tian Meiren for a while, and at the end of the day, she asked Tian Meiren for some hawthorn strips to go back. It was rare that Concubine Jiang Xian liked it, and Tian Meiren hurriedly asked Qingluo to wrap it in oil paper and send it.

Ruixiang stared at the half-open oil paper bag on the table, and wondered a little, his master has always been used to eating exquisite dim sum, and has never touched these folk snacks, how can he be interested in this today? Could it be that this little hawthorn strip can taste better than the dim sum in the imperial dining room?

Concubine Jiang Xian glanced at her sideways and said, "You can eat if you want." ”

Ruixiang swallowed her saliva and took one and put it in her mouth.

"How?" Concubine Jiang Xian asked.

Ruixiang nodded: "It's delicious." ”

This taste is better than the candied fruit master in the palace, but it is not a delicacy. Ruixiang asked, "Master, why do you suddenly want to eat this?" ”

"It's not that I want to eat it," Concubine Jiang Xian propped one arm on the table: "I just think this taste is a little familiar." ”

Familiar? Ruixiang thought for a moment, but still shook her head puzzled.

"I can't complain that you don't understand, at that time you were still a rough palace man in the vestibule." Concubine Jiang Xian only smiled slightly, and waved her hand at Ruixiang: "Go, go to the Tai Hospital, find Wang Pintang, this palace has something to ask him." ”

Not long after, Ruixiang returned to Zhaotai Palace with Wang Pintang.

Ruixiang didn't say what was the matter, Wang Pintang was confused, although he temporarily served as the head of the Tai Hospital, he had never served Zhaotai Palace, what did Concubine Jiang Xian mean when she suddenly called him over?

Wang Pintang was full of suspicion, and slowly knelt down: "Weichen Wang Pintang, knock on the virtuous concubine." ”

Concubine Jiang Xian angrily scolded Ruixiang, and Ruixiang silently lowered her hand and took several maids out of the room.

Wang Pintang half-raised his head: "Niangniang, what is this?" ”

Concubine Jiang Xian turned her head and her eyes fell on the plate of hawthorn strips on the table: "Imperial Doctor Wang is an old man in the Tai Hospital, and he is well-informed. Over the years, there have been a lot of changes in the palace, and I want to find some old faces, and I still have some difficulties for a while, so the palace thinks of you as the head of the royal court. ”

Wang Pintang heard the words "head of the hospital", and felt uncomfortable for a while. Although it is a temporary position, the emperor did not have a clear decree to announce that he is the new head of the Tai Hospital. Concubine Xian called him like this, showing that she meant to wear a high hat.

Wang Pintang shrank his hand and said humbly: "Niangniang carries love, Wang Pintang is just an ordinary doctor in the Tai Hospital, and he is not well-informed. If Niangniang has any orders, just say a word, if Wang Pintang can do it, she doesn't dare to refuse. ”

"It's not a big deal, Imperial Doctor Wang doesn't have to be so nervous." Concubine Jiang Xian gently pinched the small plate on the table and sent it to Wang Pintang: "Imperial Doctor Wang has seen this?" ”

Wang Pintang looked at it, it was a plate of inconspicuous preserved fruits, and he wondered for a while.

"Hawthorn strips?"

Concubine Jiang Xian smiled indifferently: "It's hawthorn strips, but it's not ordinary hawthorn strips, don't you want to taste it?" ”

Since Concubine Jiang Xian asked him to taste it, Wang Pintang couldn't excuse himself, so he picked up one and put it in his mouth.

This is indeed not an ordinary hawthorn strip, it melts in the mouth, and the familiar and distant memories are like a flood that opens the floodgates, with the sweet and sour juice together in the head cavity of the waves!

Concubine Jiang Xian still looked at him warmly: "Can the head of the royal courtyard remember this taste?" ”

Shen, Shen Wenzhong?! Shen Wenzhong's recipe?!

Wang Pintang bit his lip and shook his head vigorously: "Hui Niangniang, Weichen has never tasted this taste, but this hawthorn strip does taste better than that made in the tea room." ”

The smile on Concubine Jiang Xian's face gradually cooled, and the plate was put back on the table: "Oh? Is it? ”

Wang Pintang leaned down: "Hui Niangniang, Weichen's medical skills are limited, and Weichen knows very little about prescriptions such as eating tonic medicinal diets." So I'm afraid I can't help Niangniang, and I ask Concubine Xian Niangniang to forgive her sins. ”

Concubine Jiang Xian snorted lightly: "It's too modest, right?" This is just a meal list prescribed by a medical woman, what does the head of the royal courtyard mean is that he is not even as good as a medical woman? ”
