Shangshi female official

"Actually, it's not just putting gypsum powder in, soaking a little gypsum powder in water, putting some of the soaked water on the beaten eggs, adding water and steaming it will turn green, only some people in the south will do this , the southern summer is very hot, eating like this is said to have antipyretic effect.”

"Gypsum powder...then I will ask Jing Mo tomorrow what is the mystery in this gypsum powder."

"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Wang Yifu had nothing to hide from Mo Xi, so she revealed all her doubts.

"For some reason, the princes in the palace don't like to eat. I suspect that there is something wrong with the blue and green steamed eggs.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be repetitive things in the daily diet, but the people in the dining room just said, the princes have a bad appetite, and the guards say that they like to eat more, isn't there a problem? "

Mo Xi stood up abruptly, and scolded: "Since it's about the emperor's heir, why didn't you tell the empress?"

"There are still a lot of questions that I haven't figured out, how can I tell the empress in a hurry? In case you startle the snake..."

"If you find such signs, you should tell your empress immediately, and your empress can arrange for someone to check carefully, so you can be on guard."

"I haven't figured out whether my gypsum powder is bad or not. How can I explain it? Even if I figured it out, where did they get this gypsum powder and who asked them to get it? You have to find out before you can tell your empress.

The Dian Shan, the nuns in charge and the imperial doctor Mu all said that the diet is fine, so if I rashly ask the empress to check it, I am looking for trouble for nothing, and maybe I will embarrass the empress. "

"Yifu, even if the empress doesn't move, you have to let the empress know what to do, it's better than you thinking about it alone."

"You wait until I figure out this gypsum powder, and then I will ask you to see the empress."

Although Mo Xi didn't say anything anymore, worries gathered between her brows, and her imprint was about to form, Wang Yifu could only persuade her to take it easy, she knew what she was doing.

The next morning, Wang Yifu went to the Imperial Hospital to find Du Jingmo, and asked Du Jingmo what the gypsum powder was for, but Du Jingmo was very serious and asked, "Efu, are you sure it's gypsum powder?"

"I can't be sure. I only know that the eggs they steamed were blue in color. Mo Xi said it might be gypsum powder. As for what exactly was laid, I didn't get it. You tell me first, what happened to the gypsum powder?"

"Gypsum powder is cold and cool, and it is generally used to treat heat syndrome, especially stomach heat, but if a person without disease takes decoction for a long time, his appetite will definitely decrease, and his stomach will be cold and uncomfortable."

"That's right, the princes eat gypsum powder every day, no wonder they can't eat."

"Don't worry, although you have noticed something strange, but you can catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. Without evidence, what you say is useless."

"Jingmo, gypsum powder is a medicine, and it's not a common condiment. If you want to use it, you must borrow it from the Tai Hospital. Please check it for me. Has anyone borrowed this thing recently?"

Du Jingmo immediately took her to the imperial pharmacy next door to ask for files. It was a sign of dereliction of duty for the imperial pharmacy to borrow things from the pharmacy. Borrowing files was naturally rare. There were only three or four pages of records in the past five or six years, and no one had ever borrowed gypsum powder.

Du Jingmo flipped through it again and said disappointedly: "There is no record of gypsum powder."

Wang Yifu pondered deeply. According to Mo Xi and Du Jingmo, gypsum powder is the most suitable. It reduces appetite and makes the egg noodles turn blue.

"Either they asked the Tai hospital to borrow it and didn't record it, or they got the gypsum powder from other places, or it was other seasonings?"

"You'd better show me what they planted. I'll know if it's gypsum powder."

"They are too careful, I have to find a way."

"If it's not easy to get, it's better to forget it, and find another way, don't expose yourself to danger."

"I have a measure, don't worry."

Du Jingmo sighed softly, and said: "You always say you have a sense of proportion, but you are always in danger. I am sometimes afraid that we will not survive the day when we leave the palace."

"Don't say such frustrating words. When I finish my business, I will definitely not stay in this man-eating place for another day."

Du Jingmo held Wang Yifu's hand, his hand was always cool, just enough to calm down Wang Yifu's warm hands, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you."

At noon, Wang Yifu made fried beef balls for the eleventh prince. In addition to pepper and minced ginger, he secretly added hawthorn and yam in it. The fried beef balls were deliciously fragrant and tasted like snacks. There is a loud sound, and the gravy has a little spicy taste of ginger and sweet and sour taste of hawthorn.

She didn't dare to put too much, and she didn't know if the nun's tongue was working, to what extent, if she could taste it, and if she tasted it, would she know that these ingredients have the effect of nourishing and appetizing.

Looking back, the maid was adding ham foam to the steamed egg. She kept watching the maid put the things into the steamer, thinking about how to save a piece.

When the eunuch came back from carrying meals in the afternoon, Wang Yifu went to see what was left as usual. There were a lot less beef balls in the plate, and a lot of steamed eggs. It seems that no matter how powerful the discipline mother is, she still has to listen to the master's idea .

She took out a spoon to scoop up a small piece of steamed egg, turned around and covered it with her sleeve, and pretended to take a bite. She flipped the spoon and stuffed it into a small cloth pocket. good."

The eunuch who carried the meal only thought she tasted it, and after the ceremony, he closed the food box and left.

She was about to go to the imperial hospital, but unexpectedly, the female officer next to the empress came, but she was not wearing an official uniform, she glanced at the people at the door of the dining room, and said with a smile: "I found you, our hospital is making fried rice cakes, why not?" I can’t make it like you, so come and guide me.”

"Okay, sister, wait a moment, I'll come after changing clothes."

Wang Yifu thought that she was not familiar with the leading lady, and never taught her how to fry rice cakes. The empress must have summoned her, but she didn't want to say it publicly before she made such a bad plan.

The female official did not take her to Kunning Palace, but took her to Yinghua Palace.

Even in the daytime, the hall was brightly lit with candles, and there were statues of Xifan Buddha enshrined all around. The empress knelt in front of the eleven-faced Guanyin Buddha statue.

Wang Yifu waited for the empress to come out of the palace, knelt down to pay her respects, the empress excused her, and then said: "Let's take two steps around the platform."

The guard of honor of the empress was waiting outside the courtyard. At this time, the people who followed the empress were all the people left after the usual retreat. The empress asked Wang Yifu while walking, "Is everything okay in the new dining room?" ?”

"My lady, everything is fine."

"Really? But Moxi doesn't seem to say that."
