Chapter Eighty-Four: Medicine
Lu Simo comforted Tao and said: "Mother, don't think about it so much, how do you know that if your sister marries her cousin, it must be better than entering the palace?" Although we can't see my sister now, if my sister is favored, maybe she will be promoted to the concubine position in two years. ”
Dow shook his head: "How can it be so easy?" I don't expect your sister to be promoted to a concubine or anything, I just hope that your sister can be safe and secure in the palace. ”
"Mother, don't worry, my sister has been smart since she was a child, and she will definitely be safe and secure in the palace." Lu Simo said, changing the topic and saying, "I am now listening to sympathy for the girl who is engaged to my cousin. ”
The person who wants to marry likes other women in his heart, not to mention that he is not the daughter-in-law that his future mother-in-law likes, and there is also a sister-in-law who is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.
Lu Simo always felt that his uncle did something wrong with this, but after thinking about it, he felt that his uncle seemed to have no other way than to do this, and besides, his cousin would marry a wife sooner or later, and if he didn't marry this girl, he would marry other girls, and there was always a girl who had to face such a situation.
For Lu Yuning, the days of celebrating the New Year in the palace are no different from usual, except for greeting An, he spends time in his palace every day.
Early in the morning of the seventh day of the new year, Lu Yuning finished greeting the queen, and as soon as she returned to Linglong Pavilion with her front foot, she came in with a large bag of things on the back foot.
"Red Note has seen Lu Meiren."
"Qingzhi, help the girl with the red note to get up." Lu Yuning sat on the soft floor and glanced at the large bag of pungent medicine in the red note's hand, and said with a smile: "What is this thing that the red note girl is bringing?" ”
"If you go back to Lu Meiren, this is the concubine Niangniang asked the slave maid to send Lu Meiren." Hongjian handed the medicine bag he was carrying to Qingzhi and said, "This medicine is a prescription from a divine doctor outside the palace that the concubine Niangniang specially asked for, saying that as long as Lu Meiren drinks this medicine for three days before each bedtime, you will be able to get pregnant in less than three months." ”
"This ......" Lu Yuning hesitated, "Is this medicine reliable?" Didn't Imperial Doctor Liu say that there was no such medicine before? And I've never heard of a prescription that works like this before. ”
Hongjian smiled and said: "Lu Meiren, don't worry, the reason why Imperial Doctor Liu said that before was because he had never seen this prescription, so he thought that there was no such medicine in the world, but when the concubine Niangniang brought the prescription to him to see, he said that this prescription was indeed effective." ”
"This prescription is a magic prescription that is not passed on in the family of other doctors, since even Imperial Doctor Liu doesn't know, it's normal that you haven't heard of Lu Meiren."
In fact, when Imperial Physician Liu saw this prescription at that time, he first said: "This prescription is not very appropriate, and it may not make the concubine Niangniang get her wish." ”
However, seeing that the concubine looked very convinced of this prescription, Imperial Doctor Liu changed her words again and said: "If the concubine is really in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to let Lu Meiren give it a try, there are many people in this world who are more skilled than the minister's medical skills, maybe the minister's medical skills are not good, so he can't study the subtleties of this prescription." ”
But in this case, the red note would not say it to Lu Yuning.
After listening to what the red note said, Lu Yuning smiled and said, "Since it is a prescription that the concubine Niangniang kindly found, then it doesn't hurt for me to give it a try." ”
Hongzhi nodded and said: "The concubine Niangniang has really spent a lot of energy to find this, Lu Meiren must not live up to the concubine's wishes, you must remember to drink the medicine on time." ”
Lu Yuning said: "Naturally, I also want to be able to conceive the emperor's heir, how can I try it if I have such a medicine." ”
Lu Yuning said sincerely, and the red note naturally would not doubt it.
After returning to Zhaoyang Palace, he truthfully reported to the concubine.
After hearing this, the concubine was silent for a while before she said, "I hope this medicine is really effective." ”
In the Linglong Pavilion, Qingzhi looked at the medicine bag in front of him and asked Lu Yuning, "Master, this medicine?" ”
Lu Yuning smiled, grabbed the medicine bag on the table, and threw it all into the brazier in front of him.
A choking smoke came out, and the smoked Lu Yuning and Qingzhi were cured of coughing, but soon the medicine bag in the basin exploded.
After the fire, only a pile of black ash remained.
Qingzhi looked at the pile of black ash in the basin and asked Lu Yuning, "Master, don't you believe that this medicine is a medicine that can make people pregnant?" ”
Lu Yuning looked at the medicine ash flying in the air and said, "Whether this medicine is really useful or not, I won't drink it." ”
Qingzhi still wanted to ask something, but seeing that Lu Yuning had already picked up the book in her hand, she didn't mean to continue at all, so she closed her mouth in a witty way.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the palace prepared a lantern festival, and hung a lot of palace lanterns in the imperial garden, the concubines in the palace could go to see it, and Lu Yuning also went to see it.
Lu Yuning took Qingzhi and Qingdai to watch for a while, and then felt that her feet were a little tired, and she wanted to find a place to sit and continue to watch after a while.
So, she took Qingzhi and Qingdai to the pavilion not far away, but when she was about to reach the pavilion, she saw that not far from the pavilion, the prince was standing in front of An Concubine and talking.
Although it was night, with so many lanterns hanging around, the expressions on the faces of Concubine An and the prince were still clearly illuminated.
An Concubine looked at the prince's expression with doting and helplessness, and the prince looked at An Concubine's expression very closely.
Lu Yuning listened carefully to the conversation between the two, and heard the prince talking to An Concubine: "The chestnut cake made by An Concubine is really the best chestnut cake I have ever tasted, or An Concubine Niangniang loves me, I haven't eaten chestnut cake for a long time." ”
Concubine An smiled and said gently: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, I will find an opportunity to cook it for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not let the Queen Mother know, otherwise the Queen Mother should be angry again." ”
The prince nodded and said, "Don't worry, Concubine An, I will definitely not let the queen mother know." ”
After speaking, the prince said with a look of grievance: "Concubine An, you said that the queen mother how did she become like this, she obviously liked me the most in the past, but now she has forced me to study is to force me to study, and she doesn't care about my life or death at all, do you say she doesn't love me anymore?" ”
Concubine An smiled and shook her head, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you misunderstood the queen mother, you are the only son of the queen mother, and you are the future support of the queen mother, how can the queen mother not love you and love you, she forced you to study for your own good, you have to understand the queen mother's hard work." ”
