Chapter 108: Double Happiness
Princess Zhao said to Wen Jing that she wanted to invite Princess Jin to be a matchmaker, which made Xu Jinrou really surprised.
"Princess Zhao, aren't you laughing? How did you come up with the idea of asking me to be a matchmaker? ”
Princess Zhao's expression was very solemn, "It is precisely to ask the second sister-in-law to be a matchmaker, this is not a joke." ”
Xu Jinrou took a deep breath, "Okay, I don't know who do you want me to be a matchmaker for?" ”
"It's for my two younger sisters, Wenzhu and Wenyu."
"Oh, it's her two sisters, Princess Zhao wants...?"
"I want to marry her two sisters to the eldest son of Marshal Mo Zhenshan, the general Mo Nanfeng as a concubine, and I hope that the second sister-in-law can make peace from them."
Xu Jinrou was puzzled, "The queen mother has a deep relationship with Mrs. Yuwen of the Marshal Mansion, why do you need me to be this matchmaker?" Princess Zhao's meaning really made me a little confused. ”
Princess Zhao sighed slightly, "Hey, Wen Zhu and Wen Yu, the two of them are with... King Zhao's past, the second sister-in-law naturally knows. ”
"Now that my Great Chu Palace is ventilated from all sides, there is no news that can not be leaked, even if you want to deliberately conceal it, you can't hide it, and the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will not marry them no matter what."
Xu Jinrou remained silent, "This may not be, but Wenzhu and Wenyu are stunning, if they are concubines, it should be easier to marry a good family in the West." ”
Princess Zhao's face was a little gloomy, "I think the same way, my mother went to Xiban and handed over her sisters to me to take care of, when King Zhao acted recklessly, I was helpless, I didn't take care of them, and now I can finally call the shots." ”
"Looking at the many Western barbarians in Great Chu, the general Mo Nanfeng is heroic in appearance and has a prominent family background, although he has a wife, he has no concubines, and the sisters Wenzhu and Wenyu are quite married."
Xu Jinrou's eyes showed a look of approval, "Well...... I also think this family business is good, not only Wenyu and Wenzhu have found a good in-law, but also the marriage between the Xiang family and Marshal Du, this is a win-win situation." ”
Princess Zhao smiled in her eyes, "So today I gave up this thin face and asked my second sister-in-law to be a matchmaker." ”
Xu Jinrou smiled faintly, "Princess Zhao is serious, it is okay for me to be a matchmaker, but I think it is more appropriate to ask the queen mother to be a matchmaker, after all, there is a relationship between the eldest princess of Xiban." ”
Princess Zhao's eyes were scorching, "Well..., the general Mo Nanfeng has a very personal relationship with Liu Jianguo, and the second sister-in-law is a guest of the Jianguo Mansion, and the younger sister-in-law came to ask the second sister-in-law to be a matchmaker, just to explore Mo Nanfeng's tone through Liu Jianguo, although my two younger sisters are the best in the world, but after all, they have a past with King Zhao, and Mo Nanfeng will not have heard of it." ”
Xu Jinrou suddenly chuckled, "Xiang Wenjing, when you ask me, you will call you the second sister-in-law, and when you don't ask me, you will call Princess Jin, but it is also arbitrary." ”
Princess Zhao also smiled, "Actually, this marriage is the intention of the queen mother, and it is also the queen mother's idea to ask the second sister-in-law to check the tone through Liu Jianguo, and the queen mother also said that if the crown princess comes to Ziyunxuan to sit for a long time today, let me come and ask the second sister-in-law to be this matchmaker earlier." ”
Xu Jinrou's expression changed slightly, "Oh, what does the queen mother mean?" ”
Princess Zhao's eyes flashed, "The queen mother knows that the relationship between the second sister-in-law and Liu Jianguo is very strong, and some words are too straightforward when the queen mother speaks." ”
"I'll say it for my mother, she hopes that the second sister-in-law can be with me in the future, there is a relationship between Liu Rentu and Mo Nanfeng, and Wenzhu and Wenyu will be involved in it in the future, if the second sister-in-law becomes this matchmaker, it will really be more suitable."
"The queen mother also told me that let the second sister-in-law weave a cloud brocade, there is a dragon on it, and the second sister-in-law may talk about it when chatting with the crown princess, but it doesn't matter, because everything is in the control of the queen mother."
Xu Jinrou finally understood the true intention of Princess Zhao to come to Ziyunxuan when she heard this. ”
The queen asked Princess Zhao to test her, this is to let her choose to take sides, if she can be a matchmaker for the Xiang sisters and Mo Nanfeng, it is equivalent to indirectly telling the crown princess that she is the princess and the queen are together.
The queen has good intentions, she did this not to scruple about Xu Jinrou, but to take into account the prison behind Xu Jinrou, and let Xu Jinrou be the matchmaker, which clearly points out this involvement.
Xu Jinrou looked calm, "Oh, I see, since it is the queen mother's thoughts, I have nothing to say, I should do my best." ”
Princess Zhao smiled, "I know that the second sister-in-law is very clear-minded, and she knows what to do and what not to do, now that the King of Jin has passed away, and the King of Zhao has died, if the second sister-in-law can be of the same heart with me to the family, the unhappiness between you and me in the past can be forgotten." ”
Xu Jinrou was slightly stunned, "Is there any unhappiness between you and me?" How come I don't remember? ”
Princess Zhao was also slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly, "Yes, what's unpleasant?" ”
"Second sister-in-law, that five-spice cake is delicious, if you like it, I will make more and send someone to bring it to the second sister-in-law."
"Oh, Princess Zhao has a heart, and the second sister-in-law thanked her in advance."
"The second sister-in-law is polite, since you agreed to be this matchmaker, it shows that we are a real family, today I will say goodbye first, and go back to wait for the good news of the second sister-in-law."
"Okay, I'll send Princess Zhao."
"The second sister-in-law is pregnant, so don't send it if she has difficulty moving."
"It's okay now, I've just shown my pregnancy, since that's the case, let Fang Ruo send Princess Zhao out of the palace."
"Okay, second sister-in-law, please stay."
"Princess Zhao, go slowly."
Seeing off Princess Zhao, Xu Jinrou couldn't help but think secretly.
The queen's desire to be the emperor has now been revealed, and since Princess Zhao can talk to her like this, it can be seen that the queen's claim to the emperor has been supported by all the people in the Xiang family.
I haven't heard of the news of Changshan County Wang Xiangrong recently, this old man is now half-dead, if the queen Xiang Xueyun can be called the emperor, he, who is a father, should be active again and live a little longer.
Xu Jinrou couldn't help but think, what would Liu Rentu think about the queen's desire to be the emperor? She needed to understand his mind before she could proceed with her next plan of action.
Xu Jinrou decided to leave the palace early tomorrow morning to see Liu Rentu.
"Princess, I'll check your pulse."
Qingluan walked over, and when she was just walking, Xu Jinrou was thinking about diagnosing her pulse.
"Okay, I feel that the child in this womb is moving very much, you should take a closer look."
"Well, Princess, please stretch out your hands."
Xu Jinrou stretched out her hands, and Qingluan put the two pulse pillows under her two wrists.
Qingluan uses her hands to diagnose her pulse, which is her ancestral method.
Use the esophagus, middle and ring fingers of the right hand to diagnose the inch, guan and ulnar pulses of Xu Jinrou's left hand, and explore the heart, liver and kidney, and at the same time use the left hand to diagnose the inch, guan and ulnar pulses of Xu Jinrou's right hand to explore the lungs, spleen and life.
Using the three finger powers of floating, medium and Shen to explore together, although Qingluan is young, she can fully understand Xu Jinrou's physical condition just by her pulse.
The uniqueness of the two-handed pulse check is that it can make a comparison according to the subtle changes in the strength of the pulse of the patient's left hand and right hand, that is, the "yin and yang pulse" method, so as to obtain a more accurate diagnosis.
Qingluan closed her eyes and pondered carefully after checking her pulse, which made Xu Jinrou very worried,
"Qingluan, is there anything wrong?"
Qingluan nodded slightly, "There is indeed something unusual. ”
Xu Jinrou's heart sank, could it be that she had a refractory disease?
Qingluan thought about it seriously, "It's not what the princess is worried about, I think the princess is the pulse of double happiness." ”
Xu Jinrou's eyes widened suddenly, "Qingluan, do you mean that I have two children in my womb?" ”
Qingluan's big eyes blinked, "That's what is written in my family's medical book. Well...... it's best to go to the Ximan Medical Hall tomorrow to find the Qin Pavilion Master for another consultation, what should you decide? ”
Xu Jinrou nodded again and again, this matter is not child's play, and the true result must be verified.
Xu Jinrou didn't sleep well this night, originally she thought that she was reliving her life so that the unborn child in her womb could be born smoothly, but she didn't expect that there were two children in her belly.
She tossed and turned all night, and finally fell asleep, but she kept dreaming.
For a while, I dreamed that Liu Rentu spoiled these two children as treasures, and for a while, I dreamed of Liu Rentu, holding a sword and pointing at Xu Jinrou,
"You ruined the big matter between me and Concubine Rong, I won't kill you, but you want to kill these two evil seeds, and make you miserable for a lifetime..."
Xu Jinrou was shocked, she screamed strangely and woke up.
It was already dawn, and Fang Ruo was not in the house, so she should have gone to prepare breakfast.
Xu Jinrou's heart was beating violently, and it took her a while to calm down.
I must see Liu Rentu today, and she wants to tell him about this dream.
Soon Fang Ruo brought today's breakfast, including Yujing rice, meatball dumplings, an egg ball, a cold salad with shredded bamboo shoots, and a fish soup made of crucian carp in Jinghu Lake.
Among them, it is the first time that Tamai rice and egg meatballs have been made in the Imperial Palace.
Yujing rice is crisp, tender and sweet, which can remove annoyance and appetize, and can also nourish yin and replenish deficiency.
Its method is: peel the tender white lotus root to make pieces, pick new lotus seeds, peel and heart, wash the japonica rice, put it into a casserole, and soak it in water for a while. After the japonica rice is boiled over high heat, put the lotus seeds and lotus roots together in a bowl and simmer
Egg balls are minced fresh pork, stirred with an appropriate amount of sugar, wine, and soy sauce, and a hole is drilled at one end of the raw egg to slowly remove the yolk and egg whites.
After the egg yolk and egg whites are separated, carefully incorporate the minced meat into the eggshell, then pour the egg whites in, seal them with skin paper, and cook them in boiling water.
Xu Jinrou had no appetite this morning, but she still tried to eat as much as she could, otherwise she would disappoint Fang Ruo and Qingluan.
Leaving the palace, the carriage came directly to the Xiban Medical Hall.
Qin Xuanzhi let Xu Jinrou into the separate room where he consulted, made tea and poured water, and was busy for a while.
After sitting down, Qin Xuanzhi's index finger, middle finger, and ring finger were placed on the inch of Xu Jinrou's right hand.
Suddenly, Qin Xuanzhi's crescent-like eyes widened,
"Princess, you are a double happiness, according to the results of my examination, you are pregnant with two boys."
Xu Jinrou's eyes lit up, "Can this matter be determined?" ”
