Chapter 365: Luring the Fish to the Bait
When it comes to making incense, we will generally only learn a few commonly used ones as an elegant matter. Ordinary people don't have this kind of leisure.
If you want to be proficient, you must first learn pharmacology and understand the complementarity between different aromatic medicines. It is also necessary to know how to concoct the heat and the proportion of the mixture, which is very exquisite. The so-called homology of incense and medicine is this truth.
It doesn't take a lot of hard work, but you can't learn.
Xiaolian is also a star eye, it turns out that Si Qi is deeply hidden.
Si Qi was not shy when he talked about that kind of incense just now, but at this moment, Chu Yunxi and Xiaolian saw that his cheeks were slightly red.
Chu Yunxi's eyes rolled and said to Si Qi:
"Go back and talk about the recipe of that incense with Imperial Physician Zhang, and see if you can find any clues from your father."
Chu Yunxi also thought that maybe Concubine Rong was not the emperor's child at all, but compared to this possibility, Chu Yunxi felt that Concubine Rong was more likely to conceive a real dragon species by relying on that kind of incense.
To say that the emperor, who has been childless for many years, naturally gave birth to an heir, she doesn't believe it very much.
"Yes, Crown Princess."
Si Qi should get down, and the carriage also stopped outside the Chu family. The little guy guarding the door, seeing that it was the eldest lady of his own family who married into the East Palace who got off the carriage, hurriedly trotted in to spread the word.
When Chu Yunxi entered Mrs. Chu's courtyard, Mrs. Chu was already waiting at the door.
"Mother!"
"Xi'er, let my mother take a look, have you suffered when you go out?"
The mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for many days, were very happy in their hearts.
At this time, in the palace, the emperor was also smiling.
"Hahaha, okay, Concubine Rong, you are my great hero."
"What kind of hero is the concubine, let this child come out of the concubine's belly, it is really wronged him."
Concubine Rong's somewhat complaining face, coupled with such obvious words, how could the emperor not know what Concubine Rong cared about.
It's just that now his concubines, plus the prince and his wife, don't treat Concubine Rong very well.
The letter of the third prince is full of words, hoping that he, the father and emperor, can love him once and not give her mother the ambition and opportunity to make mistakes.
The emperor smiled and touched Concubine Rong's belly.
"Don't worry, concubine, wait for you to give birth to a big fat boy for me, and I will reward me for my meritorious deeds."
Concubine Rong's heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, the emperor's meaning, if this child had a mistake halfway, or she gave birth to a princess, the emperor would not reward her!
But Concubine Rong couldn't show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face, but leaned on the emperor's shoulder and said softly:
"The concubines know that the emperor will not leave the concubines behind."
The emperor was satisfied, he was old and had a son, and he knew that this might be his last child.
He ordered the palace people to serve Concubine Rong carefully, and there must be no mistakes. The imperial doctor took a pulse on five days to ensure the safety of Concubine Rong's mother and son.
The emperor's words are the barometer of this palace.
In the following days, Concubine Rong's food and clothing were much more refined than before.
Even in front of the three concubines, she could hold her head up. Not as hiding as you did at the beginning.
In order to find out the cause of the emperor's illness, Imperial Physician Zhang secretly checked the emperor's food and consumption for several days, saying that it was to help the emperor adjust his diet. But no clues were found.
It wasn't until he was called by Chu Yunxi that he got Si Qi's recipe and finally solved his doubts, so it was, so it was.
The problem is not in the emperor's food and supplies, but in the harem. This thing is very damaging to the foundation of the body, no wonder the emperor has not had much energy recently.
Chu Yunxi asked:
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, is there a way to find out if there are any residues of these spices in my father's body?"
Imperial Physician Zhang thought about it seriously.
"Back to the crown princess, if it is just a few days after entering the body, it can be checked, but if it is a long time, I am afraid there will be no trace."
Chu Yunxi understood that Concubine Rong was pregnant with the dragon seed a month ago, which means that even if she had used that kind of incense for the emperor, there was no evidence and no way to check it.
She thought about it again and again, and finally her eyes lit up and she smiled lightly. The crooked way has tasted the sweetness, as long as there is a first time, you can't help but have a second time. Just a little lure.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, you go back first, Xiaolian, Si Qi, let's go and sit in the palace of Concubine Rou."
Chu Yunxi said that he would leave, Xiaolian and Si Qi bowed apologetically to Imperial Doctor Zhang, and followed the master.
Imperial Physician Zhang shivered on the spot. The look in the crown princess's eyes just now is so familiar. Oh, I really sympathize with Concubine Rong. was targeted by the crown princess, and if he didn't die, he had to peel off his skin.
Rou Guifei's dormitory.
When the palace people saw that the crown princess was coming, they hurriedly went in to report, and Concubine Rou also got up to greet her in person.
"What kind of wind, blowing the princess here, please take a seat. Serve tea! ”
As soon as Chu Yunxi sat down, he spoke:
"Concubine Rou, I came today because I want to discuss something with you."
She looked left and right, Concubine Rou understood, and waved her hand to make the palace people retreat. But I didn't know what important things Chu Yunxi had to talk to her, and I was a little nervous.
"If the crown princess has something, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Chu Yunxi leaned close to Concubine Rou's ear and whispered a few words. This is not Jun Lingyun's East Palace, she is afraid that the wall has ears, so it is better to be careful.
After hearing this, Concubine Rou's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that really the case?"
Chu Yunxi curled the corners of his lips.
"Is there any, just give it a try. That's why you need the help of Concubine Rou. ”
"But I, can I do it?"
Concubine Rou is a little unsure, she has been used to it for so many years without fighting or grabbing, and now she suddenly lets her compete for favor, she is not sure if she has this charm in the emperor.
Chu Yunxi praised sincerely:
"Concubine Rou is as beautiful as a flower, gentle as water, no one is more suitable than you."
Concubine Rou blushed with shame when she praised her. Unexpectedly, they are already half-old, and they can still be praised for their beauty like flowers.
"Well, I'll give it a try."
That's how the two came to an agreement.
On the second day, Concubine Rou dressed up carefully, brought health soup, and went to see the emperor.
Concubine Rong, who heard the news, was angry in her heart, and she couldn't lay eggs, but she dared to compete for favor with her, who was pregnant with the imperial heir? It's really overwhelming.
I also dressed up, brought pastries, and went to the emperor's bedroom.
The emperor looked in front of him, a health soup, a pastry, and looked at the two people in front of him.
One is like a spring breeze blowing willows, and the other is a little blessed because of excessive nourishment.
"You all have hearts, Concubine Rong, you are pregnant, don't run around anymore, it's important to protect the fetus, just leave the pastries here, you go back to the palace to recuperate."
Concubine Rong thought she was still that one or twenty-year-old girl, and said coquettishly:
"Your Majesty, then you are busy with official business, but you have to come to accompany the concubines, the concubines think about you every day, and they can't sleep peacefully."
As she spoke, she touched her belly, intentionally or unintentionally.
The emperor coughed, he has not been very energetic recently, where does he still have the heart to look at Concubine Rong's posture.
"Come on, find the imperial doctor to check Concubine Rong's pulse and prescribe some soothing decoction. Send Concubine Rong back to the palace. ”
