Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang smiled, "There is another rumor about this peony. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, drank tea and admired the peony with Concubine Yang by the Chenxiang Pavilion in the back garden. Known as a Poetry Immortal, he was very addicted to alcohol, and he was drunk when he entered the palace, but he was also very poetic when he saw the beauty of peonies, and he wrote three poems "Qingping Diao" while he was half asleep and half awake. Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei praised him , Immediately asked Li Guinian to compose a song and ordered the musicians to play and sing. Tang Wenzong Li Ang saw all kinds of flowers in the garden in the palace, but he liked peonies the most, so he asked Cheng Xiuji about peony poems. Cheng Xiuji said that Li Zheng There is a poem in the seal that is very wonderful: the fragrance of the sky dyes the clothes at night, and the country is full of wine in the morning. Later, Bai Juyi also wrote a poem: "The flowers bloom and fall for [-] days, and everyone in the city is crazy."

Wei Xian took the snack and said, "Father, can peonies be eaten?"

Defang tapped Weixian's nose "you know how to eat, hehehe, of course peony can be eaten, it can be made into snacks and wine, and the root bark of peony can be used as medicine when dried. It is recorded in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" in the Eastern Han Dynasty that peony root Cortex can nourish yin and reduce fire, detoxify spots, sharpen throat, relieve blood stagnation in urination, promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis, carbuncle and sores, etc. Later generations use yellow tiller to treat phase fire, but they don't know that cortex paeonol is better. Those with white flowers are beneficial, and those with white flowers are nourishing, and people rarely understand it, so it is better to distinguish them."

"Then I want to eat, I want to eat."

"There are so many dim sum fruits that are not enough to eat, you, your belly is going to burst." Defang said with a smile, "The peony petals have other effects, soaking in water for bathing can remove skin pollution and whiten the skin. "

Weixian looked at his hands, and Defang smiled, "Little guy, don't think that you also use peony petals to bathe, you run around all day, sweating all over, it's a waste to soak you, let you soak in your mother's back to stew The soup is better, hehehe”

After playing with the children for a while, we went to have lunch together. After school in the afternoon, Wei Xian ran out of the study with Shan Qun. The two of them held a small basket. Shan Qun asked, "Second Highness, will we be accused of ?”

"No, Father will still praise us for being sensible."

"Then... it doesn't look good there."

"There will be again next year, it's okay, let's go." Wei Xian and Shan Qun worked for more than an hour, filled the small basket full, and then ran away.

In the evening, Concubine Di took a bath in the washroom, and Ke'er soaked flower petals in a wooden barrel. Concubine Di soaked in the water and smelled it, "Well, that's good, there are so many petals."

"Yes, empress, it must have been ordered by the prince. It took a lot of work, but this time, for some reason, the petals are not complete, and they haven't been washed well. The servants have been doing it for a long time."

"This is so fresh, hehehe" said Concubine Di, "Ker, have you given the embroidery to Baili yet?"

"It's Empress, I've already given it to him, and the prince can change it after he takes a bath." Ke'er said, "Empress, do you think the prince will be happy to see it?"

"I'm sure you'll be happy. I embroidered them for the children this time. Last night, Xian'er changed into that and ran around the house. It was fun."

Ke'er was also smiling when she heard this, and Concubine Di looked at her, "Ke'er, do you want...you embroider one for Baili too?"

"Your Majesty!" Ke'er blushed, "What are you talking about...who wants to embroider for him...or embroider...the top..."

"Ke'er, I can see that you are still very kind to Baili." Concubine Di sighed, "It's a pity that such a good Baili has become a servant."
