Chapter 230: Elixir, Family Banquet
Hearing this, Fang Xiu took out the delicate wooden box from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said in a gentle tone: "This is the elixir refined by the reclusive divine doctor for the Queen Mother, named Zhuyan Dan." ”
When the Queen Mother heard the words "Divine Doctor and Immortal Elixir", she was slightly stunned.
Although she didn't have much contact with Fang Xiu, she could see that Fang Xiu was not a person who opened her mouth.
If it is an ordinary famous doctor or elixir, it will definitely not be worthy of the title of "miracle doctor" and "elixir".
"I don't know what this so-called elixir will look like."
The Queen Mother's eyes showed a hint of curiosity, and she gave the maid beside her a look.
The maid understood, stepped forward to take the wooden box, and presented it to the Queen Mother.
After the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to take it, she opened the wooden box and saw a cyan pill lying quietly inside, looking unremarkable and without the brilliance of the legendary elixir.
On the side, Wu Mingkong saw this so-called elixir, and his pretty face was slightly hot.
She wanted to praise this elixir, but the elixir's ordinary appearance made her unable to open her mouth.
held back for a long time, and only held back one sentence:
"The road is simple, this elixir can be described as a return to the basics......"
The voice fell.
She herself felt that she was forcibly making up for it, and a flush appeared on her pretty face, and she glanced at Fang Xiu.
The look in his eyes seemed to say: I have said, this is the first time you have accompanied me to see my mother, and the congratulatory gifts you prepared should be more exquisite, why are you so perfunctory.
Fang Xiu looked like a breezy and cloudy look, and said:
"The minister found this elixir and paid a great price, if it is exchanged for a thousand years of ginseng, there can be twenty ...... Medicinal materials are easy to obtain, but miracle doctors are hard to find, in the eyes of the minister, this elixir is enough to be called a priceless treasure in the elixir! ”
In any case, it cost 20,000 emotion points, and there is always something different from ordinary pills.
[Mood +2000]
When the little empress heard this, her pretty face turned even redder, and she couldn't help but reach out and cover her little face, thinking to herself, this traitor is not a person who talks about the river on weekdays, how did he become like this when he came to the queen mother.
Medicinal materials are easy to obtain, but miracle doctors are hard to find......
He can tell the truth!
It's obviously just an ordinary elixir, but when it comes to his mouth, it seems to have really become an elixir.
Wu Mingkong thought so and opened his mouth, wanting to redeem Fang Xiu's impression in the Queen Mother's heart, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
That's it, give up, so be it.
Wu Mingkong's face was helpless, and he covered his face again.
Side.
When the Queen Mother heard this, a gentle smile appeared between her eyebrows, and she replied, "You have a heart......
After a pause, he stretched out his slender fingers, pinched the elixir, and chuckled: "This palace has some expectations, what is the effect of such an elixir." ”
The words fell, and he looked at Fang Xiu, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.
"How to take this elixir?"
How do I take it?
The system mall is not introduced.
Fang Xiu was slightly stunned and fell into thought.
Seeing this, Wu Mingkong couldn't bear it anymore, glared at him, lowered his voice, and called angrily: "Fang Xiu! ”
Fang Xiu heard the voice of the little empress, and hurriedly replied: "The minister forgot to ask the divine doctor at that time, but if nothing else, it should be swallowed." ”
"What is it called, if there is no accident, if there is an accident, such an elixir, if it does not work, wouldn't it be a waste."
Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu and said angrily.
This sentence, on the surface, was blaming Fang Xiu, but in fact it was excusing him.
In case this so-called "elixir" has no effect, it must be taken in the wrong way, not that the elixir itself has no effect......
The queen mother could naturally hear the voice, and couldn't help but glance at her daughter.
She had deduced from the various performances of the little empress that the two had a great relationship, and the friendship was far beyond that of ordinary monarchs and ministers, but she didn't expect it to come to such a point. He did not shy away from being in front of her.
knows, the two are the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister, but if I don't know, I thought it was the Prime Minister and the Lady......
The Queen Mother thought for a few breaths, a gentle smile appeared on her face again, and she said softly: "Fang Xiu can have this intention, this palace is very pleased......"
The voice fell.
Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned.
The queen mother has controlled the harem for many years, and she has always obeyed the rules when she speaks and acts.
Fang Xiu, as the head of the hundred officials, is also a master, and his status is remarkable.
Even the queen mother should show enough attention to him, and it stands to reason that he should be called a position, such as prime minister or prince.
Now he is calling him by his name, which shows that in the heart of the queen mother, Fang Xiu came to Yongshou Palace, not as a prime minister or a prince, but as a junior.
In other words.
The queen mother is quite satisfied with Fang Xiu.
She originally thought that Fang Xiu had controlled the government for many years, and he had bewitched the first emperor and brought disaster to the country and the people, in the heart of the queen mother, she must be no different from a traitor.
When the queen mother saw Fang Xiu, she would never give him a good look, not to mention the tension.
That's why.
The little empress had only been long in advance and asked Fang Xiu to prepare a congratulatory gift, hoping to improve his image in the queen mother's heart.
Unexpectedly, the scene after meeting was much more harmonious and harmonious than she imagined!
"That's what a minister should do."
Fang Xiu stood uprightly and bowed.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she showed a warm smile on her face, looked at the maid on the side, and ordered, "Go and get a cup of warm water." ”
"Yes."
The maid answered, turned away, and after a moment brought a glass of warm water.
After the Queen Mother took it, she lightly opened her red lips, put the elixir in her mouth, and then swallowed it with the help of warm water.
When the little empress and the palace maid saw this scene, their faces all showed surprise.
Obviously didn't expect that the Queen Mother would really swallow the elixir.
In their eyes, even if this elixir is really refined by a divine doctor, there is always a certain risk if it has not been tested.
If there is something wrong with the body because of this pill, what should I do?
Not to mention them, even Fang Xiu was slightly stunned when he saw the Queen Mother swallowing the Zhu Yan Dan without hesitation.
He had never met the Queen Mother a few times before, and the Queen Mother trusted herself so much?
Isn't she afraid that what she sent is actually poison?
After being stunned for a while, Fang Xiu suddenly realized that this was the Queen Mother's means to buy people's hearts.
She could have treasured this "elixir", but in front of herself, she swallowed it in one gulp.
This is to show her trust in Fang Xiu.
In fact.
Although the Queen Mother lived in seclusion, she was not ignorant of the situation in the court.
She knew it very well.
The actual emperor of today's Daqian is not his own daughter, but the young Daqian Prime Minister - Fang Xiu!
In the face of such powerful ministers in the world, suppression will not work, only encirclement.
How to wrap up?
It is nothing more than playing the emotional card and winning people's hearts.
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world...... The Queen Mother did this for the sake of the little empress. ”
Fang Xiu thought so and sighed leisurely in his heart.
The other side.
After swallowing the Queen Mother, who was stationed in Yan Dan, she felt that the position of her lower abdomen was warm, as if something warm was flowing.
At first, she thought it was just her own delusion.
However, after calming down, I found that this feeling became clearer and clearer.
Finally, she realized that this was not a delusion, but a fact!
"Could it be that this Zhuyan Pill is really as Fang Xiu said, it is an elixir refined by a divine doctor?"
That's it.
The Queen Mother's eyes showed a hint of surprise, looked at the maid on the side, and ordered, "Take the glass mirror." ”
"Yes."
The maid saluted and brought a mirror made of glass.
The Queen Mother held the mirror in her hand and looked at the white and delicate face reflected in it, looking more and more surprised.
The face shown in the glass mirror is indeed much more ruddy than before!
It is as if it has been moisturized, and it glows with tender vitality.
"Elixir...... What an elixir......"
Rao is a steady queen mother, and she can't help but be surprised at this moment.
From beginning to end, the little empress was observing the changes in the Queen Mother.
Keep your heart on high and be ready to summon the imperial doctor at any time.
At this moment, seeing the state of the Queen Mother, she first breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that there was no accident.
Then I was a little surprised.
Observing the changes in appearance is an innate talent of a woman, and the little empress is no exception.
She could clearly feel that after taking the Zhuyan Pill, her skin was more hydrated.
Although he is already thirty-four years old, he looks no different from twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
"If the Queen Mother and Fang Xiu go out together, no one will think that the Queen Mother is older than Fang Xiu."
Thinking of this, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but look at Fang Xiu, his delicate face showed a look of anticipation, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Do you still have the Zhuyan Dan there?" ”
Fang Xiu shook his head lightly, and said leisurely: "The minister just said that medicinal materials are easy to obtain, but the divine doctor is difficult to find, such an elixir can be met but not sought, even if the minister paid a great price, he only found a ...... from the hand of the divine doctor."
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he looked Fang Xiu up and down, and his face showed suspicion.
Although there is nothing wrong with this, with more than a year of experience in getting along, she still feels ...... There are quirks!
"This traitor must not have more than one Zhuyan Pill! Gotta find a chance to squeeze it out! ”
Wu Mingkong thought so, nodded, and responded: "This statement is reasonable, if it can be found easily, it can't be called an elixir." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Fang Xiu more.
After thinking about it, she spoke: "I heard that this glass mirror was developed by you. ”
Fang Xiu opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but before he could speak, he heard the little empress on the side say:
"How can he have this work, it is the craftsmen under his hands, the improved formula."
The Queen Mother said: "There are so many craftsmen in the world, why can the craftsmen under the cultivation of the only one study so many novel objects, this is the world has Bole, and then there are thousands of horses......
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he pursed his lips, but did not refute it.
This time.
The Queen Mother continued: "Speaking of which, the younger brother of the palace who is not angry also spends his days in the house studying various objects, but he has not been able to bring any benefits to the court for so many years......"
Speaking of which.
She didn't know what she thought, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously hating her uncle.
When Wu Mingkong heard this, he wanted to speak and stopped.
She wanted to say, "What's so interesting about those woods that can make my father and uncle indulge in them." ”
After thinking about it, I felt that as a junior, it was not appropriate to say such a thing in front of the queen mother, so I held it back.
When Fang Xiu heard the Queen Mother mention Uncle Guo, he didn't answer, just remained silent.
This time.
The voice of the palace maid came from outside the house.
"Empress Dowager, the uncle, the eldest princess, and the county lords have entered the palace."
The Queen Mother said: "I know, bring them to Yongshou Palace." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother!"
The palace maid answered and turned to leave.
The Queen Mother looked at the personal maid on the side again, and ordered: "Inform the imperial dining room and set up a banquet." ”
"Yes."
The maid saluted and turned away.
The Queen Mother refocused her attention on Fang Xiu and the little empress, and said in a gentle tone: "I'll talk about it while we eat." ”
When Fang Xiu and the little empress heard this, they saluted together.
A moment later.
Under the arrangement of the palace maid.
Yongshou Palace has more than a dozen delicate eucalyptus platforms.
A variety of delicate pastries and tempting delicacies are then put on display.
The Queen Mother naturally sits in the middle, the first seat.
The little empress sat next to her, in a slightly off-the-slung position.
Fang Xiu and Uncle Guo are the first on both sides.
On the side are the eldest princess, the county lords, and some unnamed royal relatives.
Everyone who participated in the banquet, except for the Queen Mother and the Little Empress, looked at Fang Xiu with some restraint in their eyes.
Although they are relatives of the emperor, they are not unpopular with fireworks on weekdays, and they all know how terrible the power of this prime minister is!
Even though they are royal princes and nobles and have a remarkable status, if they offend this prime minister, there is still only one way to die.
The delicate atmosphere of the temple.
Fang Xiu was naturally able to detect it.
He thought for a second, poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, faced the Queen Mother, first saluted respectfully, and then said with a sincere face:
"By the grace of God, we can have today, looking back on the past, I can only be grateful in my heart......"
"This cup of wine, respect for the Queen Mother, and also respect for the first emperor!"
As the words fell, he raised his glass and drank it all.
When everyone saw this scene, their eyes showed a touch of surprise.
Obviously, I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would mention the first emperor at the Queen Mother's family banquet.
At this moment, looking at Fang Xiu with a sincere face, they couldn't help but think of the face of the first emperor in their minds.
When the first emperor was alive, he often held banquets, all kinds of delicacies, dances and music, and recalled that he still vividly remembered.
"Becoming an Immortal"
At that time, it was the happiest time for them, the royal relatives.
It's a pity......
Within a few years of singing and dancing, the great cadres went down.
The people are in hardship, and various disasters are frequent.
The number of banquets held by the first emperor was also reduced.
After the empress ascended the throne, she was diligent and thrifty, open source and thrift, and the banquet in the palace was only held once a year during the New Year.
It's hard to experience the happiness of the past anymore.
That's it.
Everyone's faces showed a sentimental color, and at the same time, the original tension and restraint were also eliminated a lot.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother mentioned a few more light-hearted and interesting things.
The atmosphere inside the Eiju Palace gradually became lively.
Push the cup and change the lamp for a few rounds.
Uncle Guo's face turned red, and he suddenly stood up, looked at the queen mother in the first seat, and said a little proudly:
"Queen Mother, my brother has studied hard for the past year, and finally has achieved results!"
Speaking of this, he paused, took out a small object from his arms, shook it twice, and said loudly:
"Today, my brother will dedicate this result of a year's sweat to you! As a congratulatory gift! ”
