Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Chapter 70: Carrot Hands and Mantou Feet

Youkang**oss speaks, and the efficiency is exceptionally good!It was just a matter of time, all the charcoal basins sleeping in the storeroom of Chengqian Palace were put out, and the eight charcoal basins in the main hall were all filled with bright red charcoal, and the hall was very warm. , even the cold floor under his feet seemed to be warm, and the air was as warm as a spring day.Wen Xi felt uncomfortable after the sudden cold, and beads of sweat quickly appeared on her forehead, so she had to take off her thick mink fur shawl, and sat reclined on the warm table.

It's just that as soon as the whole body warms up, the hands and feet are no longer cold, and it starts to itch. It seems that there are countless ants crawling on the backs of fingers, hands, toes and insteps. Scratch hard!It's so itchy, it's better to be in pain!

Kangxi looked at Wen Xi sitting on the Wanfu Xiangyun couch with his feet constantly rubbing against each other in impatience and embarrassment, and asked with concern, "Are your feet frostbitten too?"

Wen Xi hummed, then lowered her head in embarrassment.Especially the insteps were swollen like steamed buns, and the flower pot bottom shoes that used to fit her feet could no longer be worn. It was Meier who rushed to make a pair of soft satin shoes with willow leaves wrapped around branches and spring swallows patterned with thick cotton , used the materials that Wen Xi used to marry into the palace as a dowry, and they were all a little old.During the confinement period, not only all the charcoal they should have been withheld, not to mention the individual silk, satin and food.

Kangxi looked at Wen Xi's flowerpot-soled shoes, seeing that the shoes were fatter than before, he knew that the frostbite was not serious, so he said: "I will send the imperial doctor to prepare an ointment for you."

Wen Xi shook her head hastily and said, "Don't bother the imperial physician, Qing Lan who is beside the concubine has already gone to dispense the medicine."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.Qinglan walked into the main hall quickly with two little girls carrying washbasins and footbaths, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, empress, this slave has just figured out a way to take both internal and external clothes, soak hands and feet outside, and take Danggui Sini soup internally." , as long as you don’t catch the cold, you will be cured in six or seven days!”

Wen Xi saw two pots of hot water with strange colors. The small one was an open-mouthed porcelain basin with red underglaze double phoenix and sunburst pattern, and it was placed on the red sandalwood incense table with blessing and longevity pattern beside Wen Xi.It is hot and steaming; the big basin is carved with red lacquer, with bamboo, stone and Ganoderma patterns carved on the inside, and common auspicious clouds and wishful patterns on the outside. It is placed on the ground beside the warm feet, which is also hot and steaming .Wen Xi's heart was a little bumpy, and she asked worriedly, "What is this?"

Without thinking about it, Qinglan said, "I'll soak your feet and hands, master!"

Wen Xi pointed to the pot on the table and said, "I'm asking, what kind of stuff is this made from?" But the pungent smell was no longer there.Qinglan made some progress, and the smell seemed familiar, but she couldn't think of what it was for a while.

Qing Lan replied: "Master, this is a folk method. Cook the skin of winter melon and the root of eggplant together. The method is simple. But it has a miraculous effect!"

Winter melon rind?Eggplant root?Wen Xi was dizzy, it's lucky that she was able to find this thing in the palace!

Kangxi nodded in satisfaction and said: "Since that's the case, you can use it, you can't hide your illness from medicine!"

Wen Xi squirmed her itchy feet, looked at the interested Kangxi, and couldn't help but flinch and said: "The emperor won't go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first?" You can't soak your feet in front of the big boss, right?

Kangxi probably saw Wen Xi's shyness, and his face showed a bit of a teasing look, "I haven't seen your feet before. What are you afraid of?!"

Wen Xi shrank her neck and shook her head, said: "The concubine is not in a hurry."

He got up again and ordered: "Take these two pots of things into the East Nuan Pavilion first. I'll use them at night!"

Instead, he took the Angelica Sini Soup that Qinglan had cooked, and asked, "Does it really work?" Shouldn't ointment be applied to hands and feet with frostbite?

Qing Lan heard Wen Xi's skeptical words, immediately raised her small face very confidently, and began to explain in a continuous manner: "Danggui Sini Decoction comes from "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". Money, carefully one qian, Tongcao two qian, roasted licorice two qian, jujube half qian, can warm the meridians and dispel cold, nourish blood and unblock the veins, master, your blood is deficient and your meridians are cold, cold evil stagnates, blood circulation is unfavorable, yang Qi cannot reach the extremities, so the hands and feet are extremely cold."

Qinglan is a very timid person, let alone Kangxi, even if she meets ordinary strange men, she will be nervous and afraid, but there is only one exception, that is, when it comes to medicine, she is confident like Like a different person, he uttered words clearly, and talked eloquently: "Danggui is sweet and warm, nourishes blood and blood; Guizhi is pungent and warm, warms meridian and dispels cold, warms blood vessels, and is the king's medicine. Asarum warms blood." Dispels the cold, helps Guizhi to warm blood vessels; white peony root nourishes blood and nourishes blood, helps angelica tonify blood, and is a ministerial drug. Tongcao unblocks meridians, so that blood flows smoothly; jujube, licorice, nourishes qi, invigorates spleen and nourishes blood, altogether It is an adjuvant drug. Jujube is re-used, which not only combines Guigui and peony to nourish blood, but also prevents thrombus branches. "Wen Xi knew that when Qinglan talked about the prescription, it was as if she had opened up a conversation box, and she analyzed the cause, the prescription, and the ministers and envoys very deftly, so that you can take it with peace of mind, and you will no longer be timid and cowardly as usual.

Kangxi nodded, as if he was proficient in medical theory, and said: "Good medicine tastes bitter, drink it while it's hot!" He glanced at Qinglan again, after Qinglan finished talking about the pharmacology, she immediately returned to her original form, and hurriedly retreated to Wenzhou with some fear. Xi deep side.When Kangxi was not angry on weekdays, he was still very approachable, but the emperor was an emperor after all, and the little medical girl was in awe. He also took it for granted and didn't think there was anything unreasonable. Dao felt that this plain-looking The medical lady knew how to be polite, so she said casually, "You are quite capable, a medical lady."

Although Wen Xi doesn't understand these professional terms, she can still act as a good patient. With both hands holding a purple sand bowl with excellent tentacle texture, she slowly blew on the hot medicine, and said proudly: "Qinglan's medical skills are better than Those imperial physicians are not inferior at all!"

Kangxi laughed it off, apparently only thought it was Wen Xi's boastful words, seeing Wen Xi gulping down the medicine obediently, he ordered Wen Xi's maid to bring Tianxiang candied dates.White sugar lotus heart.Candied green plums.Licorice kumquats are dead-style with delicate candied fruit to crush the bitterness.Among them, candied greengage is the best, the color is as rosy as the first-picked plum, and it is carved into a lotus shape by excellent knife work.It is called "Plum Carving", it has a sweet and sour taste, and it has an endless aftertaste. Wen Xi knew it was not the cooking skill of her Chengqian palace cook, so she asked, "Where is the emperor's new cook?"

"The tongue is still so good!" Kangxi said with a smile on his face, "It is a cook recommended by the prefect of Hangzhou. He said that it is a good pickled candied fruit. I thought you have a tricky mouth, so I stayed. If you want to eat it, I will eat it every day." Call someone to bring it over!"

????Who has a tricky mouth? ? ! !

Wen Xi still had a greedy and cute smile on her face, and said with concern: "I see that the emperor's eyes are bloodshot, I'm afraid he hasn't slept well for many days, why don't the emperor go to bed and rest for a while, dinner When the time comes, the concubine will call the emperor to use it again."

Kangxi looked at Wen Xi's hands, then at the pair of small and fat flower pot shoes.Said: "Don't bother, I'm going to your East Nuan Pavilion." The main bedroom is usually the place where Kangxi came to spend the night, but Wenxi usually sleeps in the Bisha Cupboard in summer and the Nuan Pavilion in winter, and rarely sleeps alone in the main bedroom hall .

Eh??? Wen Xi suddenly thought, the medicinal soup for soaking feet is stored in the East Nuan Pavilion, did Kangxi do it on purpose? !

Anyway.When the big boss speaks, he has to wait on him.Although Kangxi is nearly [-] years old, he is still a giant baby in life. He must be served by others when dressing and changing. He stretched out his arms like an uncle to let Wenxi undress him.

Waiting for the "uncle" to lie down, Wen Xi soon heard a slight snoring sound, it seems that Kangxi is really quite tired.Wen Xi had also heard about the outbreak of a plague in Shandong some time ago.The affairs of the imperial court and the affairs of the palace will never stop for a moment, and they are in such a position.I don't know if it's his luck or misfortune.

Qinglan moved lightly with lotus steps, walked up to Wen Xi, brought the small red porcelain basin in glaze to the rosewood Fushan Shouhai Eight Immortals table in front of Wen Xi, and said in a low voice: "Master, I warmed it up for you just now, you soak it Soak your hands and feet!"

The feet are soaked in a wooden basin, mainly to prevent the cold air from below from seeping up. A large pot of hot water is prepared in the copper pot on the side for refilling at any time.

The maid with a rather raw face waited on Wen Xi and dragged off the shoes at the bottom of the flower pot. Because Wen Xi's feet were swollen from freezing, it was quite troublesome to put on the shoes and slippers.He also took off the Lu silk socks embroidered with fairy grass patterns, revealing a pair of chubby feet. The red wooden basin was deep enough to reach the ankles, so that the heat from the feet could spread from the soles of the feet to the whole body.

Qing Lan squeezed the acupuncture points on the back and palm of Wen Xi's hand with a little more force, although it hurt a little, but it was very comfortable.There are maids massaging the acupoints on the feet, the force is relatively gentle and slightly itchy.Wen Xi closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and occasionally couldn't help but let out a comfortable hum, the feeling of being served by someone is great!

Before and after Qinglan ordered the new foot-washing maid to add hot water twice, Wen Xi only felt that her hands and feet were warm and comfortable.Opening his eyes, he secretly glanced at the figure carved in mahogany lacquer and painted in gold. On the bed, Kangxi was looking at her with a pair of smiling Danfeng eyes.

Wen Xi was embarrassed, half of her face blushed, "Why is the emperor awake?"

Kangxi didn't get up, but said with a smile: "I always only know how to describe a beauty with jade hands and feet, but today I see something different, everyone else has slender hands and curved feet, but you are the carrot hand, Steamed bun feet!"

Three black lines were drawn on Wen Xi's forehead, it's not good to bury people like this!Kangxi is too poisonous, right?Can't help but look down at my hands and feet??? Damn, they really look like carrots and steamed buns!

Qing Lan, who was pinching Wen Xi's hand, suddenly couldn't help covering her mouth with her wet hands, to keep herself from laughing out loud.The maid who washed her feet also covered her mouth with the hand that just massaged Wen Xi's feet! !

Is it that funny? !Wen Xi glanced at the handsome maid who washed her feet, and said, "Your hands just came out of the footbath, so you're not afraid of the smell!"

The foot-washing maid smiled softly and said, "Master's feet are fragrant, how could they stink?"

Wen Xi couldn't help but startled, her voice was like the voice of an oriole in three springs, soft and greasy, and it was like the voice of an oriole in early summer, melodious and clear, she was originally pretty, but what she uttered made people forget the common sense. , and asked, "What's your name?"

"The slave's surname is Yue, and his name is Qingqian." Qi Kai said slowly and clearly in his melodious and clear voice.

The moonlight is like ripples, clear and warm.It is indeed a good name!Compared to her looks, what is more outstanding about her is her voice, which is natural and unaffected, but like the singing of a sea monster, it can make people lose their minds!Wen Xi glanced at Kangxi, as if she had already fallen asleep.But Wen Xi didn't realize that the moment she looked at Kangxi, Yue Qingqian also looked at the sleeping emperor on the bed with her watery and eager eyes.

Qinglan's small eyes smiled like crescent moons, "Master also thinks her voice is nice, right? It's just that she doesn't like to talk usually. The master asked the servant to pick a few smart little maids to learn some medical skills for the servant, and she Learn the best!"

Yue Qingqian hastily lowered his head shyly, "The servant is just making up for his incompetence with hard work. Sister Qinglan doesn't dislike the stupidity of the servant." (To be continued.
