Xie Ning came back to his senses and was about to curtsy to greet Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian raised a hand and shook it gently: "Don't be polite, it's Xie Meiren, right?" ”

Xie Ning responded.

"I've heard that you are happy, you are a blessed person."

Xie Ning said: "Xie Niangniang Ji Yan. ”

Concubine Xian helped the palace maid to move forward slowly, and after walking a few steps, she stopped and coughed a few times. Looking from behind, her back was slumped, and she was obviously in her early thirties, but she looked like an old woman in her fifties and sixties.

Qinghe whispered, "Master, let's go in." ”

Xie Ning took her hand into the warm pavilion, and not far away, Xiao Ye's father-in-law watched her enter, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Meiren came over with concern and helped her sit down with Qinghe: "Why did Sister Xie go out for so long?" ”

"The Qingfeng Hall is spacious, and the snow scene is also beautiful, so I stopped and looked twice."

So the topic shifted to the snow scene, and Xie Ning didn't think much about Concubine Xian.

After returning to Yingxiang Pavilion, Xie Ning didn't take off his clothes and put on his shoes, he was crooked on the bed and didn't like to move, Qinghe was startled, for fear that she would be tired today, so he came over to serve her and took off her shoes, and sent someone to ask the imperial doctor to take a look.

Fang Shanggong walked over, touched Xie Ning's pulse, took a closer look at her face, turned his head to Qinghe and said, "The imperial doctor doesn't need to be invited, today is a festival, and it is taboo." The master is not a big deal, just rest well. ”

Qing He looked at Fang Shanggong in surprise: "Do you still take the pulse to see the disease?" ”

"I don't have that ability, but I know a little bit. The diagnosis will not be, but the master's pulse is stable and not chaotic, and the pulse is powerful, and it will not be like this if he is really tired. ”

Qinghe put down most of his thoughts and complimented him sincerely: "You are really well-informed, and this bridge is more than the road we have walked." ”

Fang Shanggong asked Xie Ning carefully what he ate and did today, and Qinghe said it all.

"The dishes on that table are either cold or greasy and too heavy, plus there are many people, the hall is noisy, the master has not eaten a few bites, and the tea has not been drunk."

"Then tell the dining room to prepare some soup and cakes, not too sweet and greasy, the shortbread sent last time is good, and when the master rests for a while, he can just pad his stomach."

Qinghe will go out to spread the word. She is now convinced by Fang Shanggong, and she has no doubts. No wonder people say that there is an old man in the family who has a treasure, and now that the master is pregnant, and there is a Fang Shang Palace to take care of and serve, the people in this room have the backbone.

I really didn't think it through, today's holiday, although the master was tired, he insisted on staying until the end of the banquet before coming back, if he recklessly called the imperial doctor, it would be different and be criticized? Isn't the master's tiredness today in vain? Today, seeing that Concubine Xian was so seriously ill, she also insisted on the winter solstice banquet, and refused to complain about her illness at this time, which added bad luck to this festival.

Fortunately, Fang Shanggong is here.

Xie Ning took a nap for a while, and Fang Shanggong woke her up, and the dining room had already sent all the soup and snacks she ordered. If Xie Ning was only half awake just now, and the other half was still in a daze, now when he smells the aroma of food, he can be regarded as waking up completely.

Sure enough, the dining room didn't send some fried, sweet snacks. In addition to the soup ordered by Fang Shanggong, I was afraid that Lu Yuan's dim sum would be cold, so I even brought the steamer directly. Naturally, it is not the kind of steamer with a large grinding plate on the big stove, that is, a small steamer the size of a plate, and the four snacks inside are steaming when the lid is opened.

The aroma rose with the heat, and Shainen's eyes lit up, and she saw the cabbage rolls.

Fang Shanggong smiled and asked, "Like this?" ”

Shainin nodded.

Fang Shanggong personally rolled up his sleeves and sandwiched a cabbage roll for her. The stuffing is made up of minced scallops, lean meat, carrots and shiitake mushrooms, and it tastes delicious and just the size of a bite.

Xie Ning ate two cabbage rolls, and Fang Shanggong gave her a small and delicate shredded radish roasted wheat.

There is only one taro cheese in the four dim sum is slightly sweet, the taro is steamed and pressed into taro paste and then mixed with milk, it tastes warm and mellow, there is no earthy smell of taro, and there is no milky smell of milk, it is particularly fragrant.

After eating a lot of things and drinking a few more mouthfuls of soup, Xie Ning held his stomach contentedly: "This time I am full." Fortunately, I had to take a few more puffs to go when I went before, otherwise there would have been nothing to eat at the banquet, and I would have to starve. ”

"After a long time, I will know that this banquet is not for eating at all. That's pretty good. When the emperor wants to feast the ministers during the Chinese New Year, the dish is called a cold dish, either fried or steamed, and even the wine is cold. ”

Xie Ning likes Fang Shanggong not only because she takes care of her meticulously in life, but also because of the wisdom and open-mindedness revealed in Fang Shanggong's words, which she admires.

After Fang Shang Palace came, she would not feel lonely and bored when she stayed in the house, because from Fang Shang Palace, she could hear many things, allusions, customs and old customs in the capital and the palace, these were so novel and interesting, no one had ever told her. At the same time, the words in her heart can be listened to and can answer many of her doubts.

Xie Ning talked about meeting Concubine Xian outside the Fengqing Hall today.

"Seeing that the illness is not light, it is very difficult to walk, and I insist on staying until the time of the fast dispersion."

"Concubine Xian has actually been in poor health." Fang Shanggong opened the box and took out the cut notepaper: "It is said that it is congenital deficiency, she was born in seven months, and she has been accompanied by medicine since she landed." This is why she was born in the family of the noble eunuchs, and she has the financial resources and manpower to live to this day. "I heard that when Concubine Xian first entered the palace, her body was not as bad as it is now." Xie Ning took out a piece of notepaper and laid it out, and said while holding the pen and pasting it: "I was really shocked when I saw her today. ”

"The deep palace is lonely, and it is still different from the palace. When she was in the palace, Concubine Xian wanted to see her mother's family, so she sent someone to pass a message, and she could see her the next day. The emperor was sympathetic to her illness and weakness, and treated her with special leniency in many things. But it's different when you enter the palace, the palace rules can't make an exception for a person casually, and Concubine Xian fell ill a few times soon after entering the palace, and she never got better completely. Fang Shanggong took a bamboo knife to cut paper for her, and said with emotion: "The Yang family is her backer, but she also needs to do her part for the Yang family." On an occasion like today, as long as she can still get up, she will definitely not get sick, even if she is uncomfortable, she has to insist on sitting there and occupying a position next to the emperor. ”

Xie Ning said in her heart that this is true, she should have been unable to hold on when she finally left, and she didn't know what happened to her after she went back. Today, Xie Ning will not summon the imperial doctor here, and Concubine Xian will not summon the imperial doctor today, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, she has to carry it over.
