Chapter Twenty-Six: Keeping the New Year
The taste of this liver-protecting soup is really indescribable.
It's no longer something that can be summed up simply by the word "unpleasant". In short, it's the kind of taste that you don't want to drink a second time after drinking it once.
But I have to say that after these two bowls of soup and medicine, Ye Tianhuai is much more comfortable. My head doesn't hurt anymore, and my stomach feels a lot better.
Ye Tianhuai expressed his physical feelings to Zhou Shouyi, and patted Zhou Shouyi's ass by the way.
"Grandpa Zhou is really a miracle doctor, two bowls of soup will make me feel comfortable."
Zhou Shouyi just glanced at her lightly and said, "Next time I drink like this, it's still this decoction." ”
Thinking of that indescribable taste, Ye Qian stopped in tears.
Aunt Fanghua eased the atmosphere while sandwiching dumplings into Ye Tianhuai's plate: "Imperial Doctor Zhou, you have a straight face during this big holiday, there is no good fortune this year." ”
Zhou Shouyi's expression softened a little, and he muttered: "As long as she doesn't go wrong, it's my blessing." ”
"What could I have done? Grandpa Zhou, eating dumplings, Aunt Fanghua's cooking is fragrant, and it is even better than what the imperial chef makes. Ye Qian enthusiastically pushed a plate of dumplings in front of Zhou Shouyi.
Zhou Shou glanced at her, smiled a little angrily, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
The house was warmed by the charcoal basin, and the snow was falling outside, and the three people sat around a round table, eating two plates of dumplings with laughter, and the sound of firecrackers outside the palace was intermittently heard outside the window.
It's like an ordinary people's home.
For Ye Qinghuai, this is the real Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Only at this moment will she feel that the palace is not only a palace, but also a home.
After a while, the two plates of dumplings were wiped out, and Aunt Fanghua brought three bowls of dumpling soup.
"The original soup turns into the original food." Aunt Fanghua said to her when she saw that Ye Tianhuai didn't want to drink.
Ye Tianhuai then picked up the steaming soup, blew it, took a shallow sip, and put down the bowl.
Zhou Shouyi took out a very small porcelain bottle from his waist, only half the size of a palm, but it was very delicate, he put the vial in front of Ye Tianhuai, and said, "Eat this." ”
Ye Qianhuai's expression sank slightly, she paused, poured out a pill from the vial, and swallowed it with her head up.
Zhou Shouyi watched her swallow before putting away the empty bottle.
This medicine is modified on the basis of the Xiangyin Pill, which is considered Zhou Shouyi's exclusive secret system, and eating it can make Ye Qianhuai's voice as hoarse as a man, but it generally only has a validity period of more than a month, so at the beginning of every month, Zhou Shouyi will bring one over for her to eat.
"I've fine-tuned the formula, you pay attention to your next period and see if it has any effect." Zhou Shouyi.
Ye Qianhuai nodded.
After a moment of silence in the room, Ye Qianhuai suddenly asked, "Grandpa Zhou, can you develop a medicine that will make me completely become a man?" ”
Zhou Shouyi looked at her with wide eyes, and asked in a strange manner, "The wine hasn't woken up yet?" ”
Ye Tianhuai knew the meaning of his words, and chuckled: "I didn't say anything drunk. I really want such a medicine. ”
"I'm a doctor, not a god, and I don't have the ability to reverse yin and yang." Zhou Shouyi shook the empty bottle in his hand and said, "This is already the limit." ”
Ye Qianhuai nodded. She didn't give much hope, just asked.
Aunt Fanghua noticed her strange appearance today and asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly have such a thought?" But what happened? ”
It's still Aunt Fanghua who understands her.
Ye Qianhuai raised his head and looked at Aunt Fanghua, with a helpless wry smile in his eyes: "After the New Year, I am going to be the queen." ”
"What?" Zhou Shouyi stood up in shock.
The soup bowl in Aunt Fanghua's hand fell on the table, and the table was covered with a thick tablecloth, and the half-empty bowl only made a muffled sound.
Ye Tianhuai calmly raised his eyes to look at Zhou Shouyi, Zhou Shouyi's beard was upturned, and he didn't know whether he was shocked or angry.
"After the New Year, I want to marry Chen Yuansi's granddaughter, and I will get married after my father's filial piety is completed. In the past few days, the Chen Mansion should have spread the news. Ye Qian said.
Hearing her say that she was married, Zhou Shouyi's expression softened a little.
Aunt Fanghua was worried, and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty wants to marry that Chen girl?" But, but ...... How did Your Majesty get married? ”
Seeing her appearance, Ye Tianhuai couldn't help but want to tease her, and said distressedly: "I wanted to rely on Grandpa Zhou to help me get by, but I didn't expect that there are medicines in this world that Grandpa Zhou can't match." It seems that this time, my identity as a woman cannot be saved. ”
Aunt Fanghua was so anxious that she couldn't speak.
Zhou Shouyi closed the medicine box at his feet, picked it up and was about to go out the door.
"Grandpa Zhou, where are you going?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
Zhou Shou replied without looking back: "Resign." Stay away from you, and I can live ten more years. ”
Ye Tianhuai was not angry and smiled: "It's so late, where is Grandpa Zhou going to resign?" ”
"You don't care where I go! It's good to stay away from you anyway. Zhou Shouyi obviously hasn't lost his breath yet.
"There's no rush to resign." Ye Tianhuai persuaded unhurriedly, "Grandpa Zhou might as well wait a little longer." In another year, I will resign with you and leave the palace together. ”
Zhou Shouyi was silent for a moment, turned around, stared at Ye Qianhuai and asked, "You little ghost, what are you talking about?" ”
"I said, give me a year, let me find a reliable person to entrust the country. When the time comes, I will accompany you out of the palace. ”
Zhou Shouyi looked at Ye Tianhuai in disbelief, and didn't say anything for a while.
"Hasn't Grandpa Zhou been compiling that "Lingshu Baicao Sutra"? After the Chinese New Year next year, I will accompany you to find herbs and compile medical books. Ye Tianhuai had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was talking about an ordinary family matter.
"You want to give the world of Dajing to others?" Zhou Shouyi finally found his voice.
"Chicken Si Chen. I can't sit still in this position. Instead of waiting until the world is in turmoil, it is better to find a suitable master to give up the throne. In this way, I will be freed sooner, and you will be able to save your lives, and the people will not have to suffer from war. Kill three birds with one stone, how good. Ye Tianhuai said briskly.
"Your Majesty wants a Zen position?" Aunt Fanghua interjected and asked.
Ye Qianhuai nodded.
"To whom?" Zhou Shouyi asked with a frown.
Ye Tianhuai shrugged: "I haven't thought about it yet." But isn't that still a year away? ”
Zhou Shouyi seemed to be annoyed by her dismissive attitude, and said angrily: "Do you know what you're doing?" Zen position? If you want to meditate, the other party may not keep your life. ”
Ye Qianhuai restrained his smile and said, "The person I trust must not be a narrow-minded person. But if it is at that time, I will have to take my life to stabilize the situation, and I will not hesitate to die. ”
Zhou Shouyi was stunned, and seemed to be calmed by Ye Tianhuai's bearing. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What if you don't find such a person in a year?" Have you ever imagined how that would end? ”
Ye Qianhuai's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, I can only find a way to bring down the Chen family." ”
Zhou Shouyi suddenly stopped, because he saw a kind of decisive coldness on Ye Tianhuai's face.
A look that should never be on the face of a sixteen-year-old.
