Chapter Forty-Nine: Clear Water Out of Hibiscus
Ruyi said: "Slaves and maids and fair fathers must be cautious. ”
I asked, "Is today's medicine ready?" Okay, let the autumn water come in and I'll drink it. ”
Since Dolgon personally cared about my condition, the Tai Hospital was even more cautious and did not dare to be negligent, and Tai Doctor Wen would come to my palace every day to ask for my pulse.
The dosage of medicine is not allowed to interfere with others, reduce it for me little by little, and personally adjust my dosage before handing it over to the palace maid to decoction. At the same time, I also use tonic medicine that does not clash with medicinal properties to recuperate.
The Emperor came to see me every other day, and was very happy to see that my spirits were gradually lifted, and my face was bloody.
Early one morning, as soon as I got up, the emperor's inner supervisor Xiaohezi came to pass the word with a happy face, saying that the emperor was coming to see me after the morning court, and asked me to prepare.
Yanzi said: "The emperor is coming, do you want to change into bright clothes to take over, and the slave and maid help the master comb a spring bun?" ”
I only smiled and didn't answer, and turned my head to ask Ruyi: "Most of the concubines in the palace are dressed in glamorous makeup, right?" ”
"Yes. The women in the palace are saintly, and in order to make the emperor happy, they are naturally extremely gorgeous. ”
I smiled and nodded, and asked Azhu to take the clothes. The light green silver pattern embroidered with a hundred butterfly flowers on the top, only the sleeves are made wider than the general one, and it is sassy in the wind. The waist is tightly tucked, and below is a long skirt embroidered with goose yellow embroidered white magnolia. Comb a simple peach heart bun, only wear a few stars of milky white pearl Yingluo, reflecting the cloud silk black and bright, oblique a branch of jade hairpin hanging a thin silver tassel.
Yanzi said tentatively: "The master is dressed so beautifully, but he is a little lighter. ”
I just laughed, "That's fine." "The women in the palace have always competed in front of the emperor, and they are extremely luxurious, and I only dress elegantly, but I can make him refreshed.
Dress up and stop, and in a few moments the emperor will arrive. I greeted him early in front of the palace gate, and when I saw him, I smiled and saluted. He hugged me and said, "It's windy outside, why did you come out?" Come in with me. ”
I thanked me and stood up, and when Dolgon saw my clothes, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving." My concubine is really different. ”
When I heard his approval, I rejoiced in my heart and said shyly: "The emperor doesn't dislike the quality of his concubine Pu Liu." ”
Entering the hall and sitting down, a little palace maid had already prepared a brocade mat and spread it on the throne of Panlong, and burned a handful of Rui brain incense paid by Xiyue in the copper furnace of the wrong gold Persian text on the side of the seat, and the light white smoke was submerged into the air, and the room was full of luxury. When I saw Dorgon sit down, I sat down on the rosewood chair beside him.
Dolgon bowed slightly, "This fragrance is very good. After listening to the courtiers' recitals all morning, I was dizzy. I pursed my lips and smiled, and it seemed that I was not prepared for wrong.
I said politely: "The emperor came to see his concubines when he got down early in the morning. Presumably the emperor is also tired, is it okay for the concubine to serve a cup of tea? ”
Dolgon smiled and said, "It's just a matter of letting someone do this kind of thing, so why do it yourself." ”
"How can the tea served by the concubine herself be comparable to others, and please wait for the emperor." I walked into the warm pavilion with a smile, and Shaoqing came out with a Khotanese white jade tea cup and walked in front of him, and said with a smile: "The tea cooked by the concubine, I don't know if it is for the emperor's spleen and stomach?" The emperor should not dislike it. He laughed on his lips, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, hoping that he would be happy after tasting the tea, but he was afraid that the tea would not taste to his liking, if he frowned and didn't like it, how could it be good.
Dorgon said, "You have made it with your own hands, and I am most pleased with this heart." He took it and opened the porcelain bowl as fine as jade to see, the cup was full of green and blue like curling smoke, the fragrance of tea hit people's hearts, praised "good fragrant tea", took a small sip, frowned slightly and pondered, and took another sip. My heart sank, thinking that he didn't like it, and I was at a loss, Dolgon's eyebrows slowly stretched, and the smile grew, looking at me and asking: "The taste of this tea is exceptionally clear and fragrant, I have tasted it for a long time, the tea is Yuezhou cold tea, there is the smell of pine needles and plum blossoms, but the rest is not clear, you come to tell me what else to put in?" ”
I smiled and said: "The tongue of the emperor's good spirit, this tea is called 'Three Friends of the Year and the Cold', and the pine needles, bamboo leaves and plum blossoms are cooked with water, and the water is the dew on the lotus leaves before sunrise in summer, so that it can be as fresh as Si." ”
"The ancients said that 'tea can purify the heart', and after drinking your tea today, I know that the words of the ancients are true."
My face flushed slightly, "The emperor has won the award." It was also a coincidence, the concubine was reluctant to drink two urns last year, so she specially brought an urn into the palace and buried it under the pear tree behind the hall, and only asked someone to dig it out two days ago. ”
"Are you still used to living in Yonghe Palace now? I looked a little more remote. ”
"Thank you for your care. The concubine felt okay, very quiet. My voice lowered slightly: "The concubine doesn't like those lively things very much. ”
Dolgon's fingertips slid across my cheeks, and he raised his hand to brush the shredded hair from my sideburns, as if it were hot as his fingers flickered and froze on my cheek, only to hear him whisper, "I understand." Tang pear clearing
