Food, Color, Medicine and Fragrance: Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 196 Missing
"Where did you come from? Never seen you before."

The three maids didn't know Lin Xiaorou's details, so they spoke politely. Only when they knew that Xiao Dezi had sneaked out from behind her without a sound did the three maids suddenly realize, and said in surprise, "Are you from Cuiyuexuan?"

Lin Xiaorou nodded, and soon saw that the faces of the three maids changed drastically.

"Since when did the people in Cuiyuexuan start to become glib?" A maid raised her eyebrows, showing an inexplicable hostility towards Lin Xiaorou.

Xiao Dezi quietly tugged on Lin Xiaorou's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Second boss, let's go."

Lin Xiaorou ignored it and said with a smile: "The two elder sisters are the most beautiful people I have seen in the past two days since I entered the palace. Yuezhu never tells a lie, so how can she be glib? Yuezhu has something to do, so let's go first."

Xiao Dezi followed Lin Xiaorou and left calmly. After walking a few steps, a court lady suddenly stopped them.

"You two wait."

Lin Xiaorou glanced back at Xiao Dezi and asked softly, "Is it easy to deal with these?"

Xiao Dezi made a wry smile and his expression said it all.

"May I ask the two fairy sisters what instructions do you have?"

The palace maid who spoke just now glanced at them, then pointed to a small pond in the distance and said, "Go, pick some fresh lotus seeds for me, my mother wants to use them."

There is a small pond not far away, with a few lotus flowers scattered in it, and the pink and white blooms are very beautiful.

"But elder sister, our Concubine Yun also has something to entrust us to deal with, and it is also a first-class urgent matter, how about we each take charge of the matter?"

The palace maid glanced at her coldly and said: "Don't you forget that you are a small servant in this harem, and you don't even listen to the words of Concubine Jing?"

Lin Xiaorou smiled, cupped her hands and said, "Don't dare, it's just that we don't dare to go overboard."

"Then you mean that you can't do anything about Concubine Jing?"

As expected, she was a woman with a sharp tongue, Lin Xiaorou regretted that sneeze a bit now.

She was right.No matter which palace the servant is, the main thing is to listen to the words of the master.

Xiao Dezi is usually very quick-witted, but this time he was silent like a mute. Lin Xiaorou looked at the pond with a smile, and said: "In this case, Yuezhu will naturally be ordered, but can you please ask my sister to accompany me to the pond, so I can also deliver fresh lotus seeds to you as soon as possible."

The maid nodded, her proud expression was like a peacock, Lin Xiaorou's eyes flashed with cunning, she walked slowly ahead, the maid followed, and when she was about to reach the pond, Lin Xiaorou suddenly stopped and asked: "Sister , but how should I get to the middle of the pond, although the pond is not big, I guess the water is not shallow."

The maid gave her a cold look and said, "There is a small boat over there."

"Where is it? I can't see it. Please ask my sister to come and point it out to me."

The maid believed her words and walked forward a little bit, just as she was about to point to the stopped boat, suddenly an arm was grabbed.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaorou exclaimed: "Sister, this place is slippery, be careful."

Then I saw her pulling the maid to fall into the pond, at the very moment, Lin Xiaorou suddenly stopped at the edge of the pond, then withdrew her hand suddenly, only heard Ah's scream, just now the maid couldn't stand being thrown into the pond The force of the front jerk plopped into the pond.

Everyone was stunned, because the incident was so sudden, after a while, when Lin Xiaorou walked slowly to Xiao Dezi's side, the other two maids yelled for help.

And the maid in the pond was thrashing and struggling in the water.

Xiao Dezi's face turned pale, and he stood there blankly. Lin Xiaorou gave him a firm tug: "Hurry up and go."

Xiao Dezi came back to his senses when he was in front of the Imperial Medical Center, his voice trembled when he spoke: "Second Boss, that, that's Concubine Jing's person, you don't have to worry about the consequences if you do this."

Lin Xiaorou smiled indifferently, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Dezi, what are you afraid of? The court lady just fell into the water by herself, so what does it have to do with us? Besides, who else can prove that we were there besides those two maids, it is obvious that the maid was ordered by Concubine Jing to pick lotus seeds and accidentally fell into the pond. At most, we just passed by and saw it."

Xiao Dezi almost looked at Lin Xiaorou with admiring eyes. Unexpectedly, the second boss had such thoughts at a critical moment, and his complexion began to return to normal.

"Second boss, I understand what you mean, you and the boss are good people."

Xiao Dezi's thinking was simply pure, Lin Xiaorou glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.

The Imperial Physician Hall of the Imperial Palace is on the central axis of the Imperial Palace, almost in the center of the entire Imperial Palace, so that if any master feels unwell, the Imperial Physician can be guaranteed to arrive as soon as possible.

The imperial medical hall is not big, it is a courtyard house, the door is opened, and a strong smell of medicine floats over.

Walking in, there is a long corridor with back characters. At the moment, there are many stoves on the corridor, and there are sand pots on them for decocting medicine. There is a guard fan in front of each stove.

It is estimated that the smell of medicine smelled at the door came from this.

There are rooms along the back corridor. At a glance, you can see a group of imperial doctors who are busy shuttling back and forth, all wearing official uniforms, either opening boxes to grab medicine, or writing something in that pen. In short, no one is idle. .

"Second boss, the pharmacy is here."

Xiao Dezi led Lin Xiaorou to a room in the northeast corner. This room seemed to be very large. Inside were rows of cabinets. The number of cabinets was astonishing. A small drawer with the name of the traditional Chinese medicine stored on it.

"Second boss, what medicine do you want?

Lin Xiaorou thought for a while and said, "I'll take a look first."

The two walked along the rows of cabinets. Several imperial physicians were grabbing medicines. Lin Xiaorou greeted them and they didn't even have time to smile.

Seeing how busy they are, Lin Xiaorou is a little thankful that she was not sent here, otherwise how would she be able to do her own thing when she is so busy every day.

She concentrated on reading the words on every small drawer.

If luck is good, the old emperor doesn't take Ningxue Pills seriously and throws them into the Tai Hospital for safekeeping, then wouldn't he be so happy, he can just go over the wall to steal at night and find a way to escape from the palace, so he can return with Lele Huo Qihan was reunited.

I'm a little excited just thinking about it.

Xiao Dezi followed her buttocks around and around, not knowing what medicine the second boss was going to grab.

"Second boss, if you are tired or not, do you want to take a break or not? Just tell me what medicine you want."

After reading it three times, Lin Xiaorou was sure that the word Ningxuewan didn't appear here, and she was very disappointed. She sighed and said, "Whatever."

Xiao Dezi was stunned, can this medicine be taken casually?
"Second boss, don't embarrass me."

Lin Xiaorou narrowed her eyes and smiled, stretched out her hand to pat Xiao Dezi's pink face, and said, "Aren't you always very good? How about you just find a taste of Eucommia."

Xiao Dezi quickly found Du Zhong. When Lin Xiaorou was about to step out of the gate, a little father-in-law stopped them and said in a soft voice: "If you want to leave this room, you must first register the medicinal materials you take."

Lin Xiaorou was taken aback for a moment, she had to register to get the medicine, and just as she was wondering, Xiao Dezi had already handed over a paper package of Eucommia: "Please check."

The little father-in-law took Eucommia in his hand and weighed it, then opened a book on the left side of the gate and registered it, Cuiyuexuan received Eucommia Erliang.

Lin Xiaorou was very curious about the registration book, so she asked, "May I ask if this registration book is for medicinal materials that are only registered for use?"

The little father-in-law glanced at her and said lightly: "You are new here, so I have no comment."

The words "no comment" made Lin Xiaorou a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually, please forgive me if I offend you."

The two left, and along the way Lin Xiaorou wondered if there would be Ningxuewan's whereabouts and records in the register?
When passing by the pond where the palace lady fell into the water just now, there was no one there, and the surroundings were silent, only the fragrance of flowers remained the same.

However, there are a lot of trampled and messy plants in the grass area, as well as some messy footprints. It is estimated that a lot of people came just now.

Coming here, Xiao Dezi couldn't help shivering, Lin Xiaorou glanced at him, and said, "Be careful, I'm responsible for what happened."

Back in the kitchen, it was time to make the medicinal meal for noon.

Today, Lin Xiaorou is going to make a good recipe for nourishing the kidney and strengthening the waist, which is Eucommia roasted pork loin.

The method of this herbal diet is very unique. First, the cleaned pork loin is broken open with bamboo, then the eucommia is put into the pork loin, wrapped with wet straw paper, put it in the charcoal fire and grilled slowly, and then take out the straw paper when it is cooked.

This dish not only nourishes the kidney and strengthens the waist, but also tastes delicious.

As soon as Lin Xiaorou finished cooking, Xiao Dezi was attracted to him. Now that Li Fugui didn't have to cook a lot of dishes, he took the time to follow the scent to have a look. He was full of praise for Lin Xiaorou's medicinal food.

Lin Xiaorou was embarrassed by the praise, and could only smile.

The time was just right, and the maid who passed on the meal came and was cooking the last dish in the kitchen. Li Fugui didn't cook many dishes these days, and always had four dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, but these The combination of meat and vegetables is not simple. If you study carefully, Li Fugui puts his thought into the combination, which can make the dishes look exquisite but not wasteful and extravagant.

This dish spread to the main hall like flowing water, and soon the person serving the dish came back and said happily: "Today, the emperor came again, and he praised Yuezhu's medicinal food."

Everyone was very happy to hear the news, but Lin Xiaorou smiled faintly.

Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, Xiao Dezi went over to greet her with concern.

Lin Xiaorou took a look at him and led him out of the kitchen door.

"Xiao Dezi, does the registration book of the Imperial Medical Center register the entry and exit of medicinal materials in the entire palace?"

"Yes."

"What if there are precious medicinal materials that others pay tribute to?"

"It is also preserved by the Imperial Medical Hall, because only the Imperial Medical Hall can properly preserve the medicinal materials."

Xiao Dezi glanced at Lin Xiaorou suspiciously, and said, "Second Boss, why are you asking me this all of a sudden, but what do you think?"

Lin Xiaorou was inevitably a little guilty by his question, so she couldn't help laughing and perfunctory: "It's nothing, I was just shocked by so many traditional Chinese medicines in the Imperial Medical Center, all I saw in my home before were small-scale medical centers, even so those who The doctor can keep his feet off the ground, but there are so many medicinal materials here, wouldn't he be too busy?"

"Don't worry, those bookkeepers already know the entire Tibetan medicine room like the back of their hands, just like my medicinal material just now, he is good at it and it's clear."

Lin Xiaorou snorted, thinking that she must get the registration book in the shortest possible time to see if there was any whereabouts of Ningxuewan.

After the two chatted and returned to the kitchen, Li Fugui was carving a watermelon with a knife.

The green-skinned watermelon gradually showed a pattern of wealth and auspiciousness under his exquisite carving.

It was very beautiful, several people gathered around to watch the fun, Lin Xiaorou also came over and applauded.

Three generations of Li Fugui's family have been cooks. When they entered the palace, they wanted to enter the Imperial Dining Room. However, their family had no relationship in the imperial court and no money to benefit them. In the end, they were not selected by the Imperial Dining Room and assigned to Cuiyuexuan. But even so, he still can't bury his culinary skills. Just by looking at this carver, you can tell that he has real skills.

The peonies clearly visible on the skin of the melon are not carved, but painted.

"Boss, you are amazing. I don't think there is another one in this palace for this unique skill."

Li Fugui was very attentive and said without raising his head: "They are all slaves. All they can do is to make the master eat and drink well. After a while, the watermelon is the most suitable fruit for the master after dinner."

In order to make it easier to eat, Li Fugui also dug up the red melon flesh into small balls, and discarded the rest that could not be shaped.

When it is finished, you will see a perfectly carved watermelon end placed in the fruit bowl. If the top on the top is opened, there are small watermelon balls inside. You only need to taste it slowly with a spoon. In this way, not only the shape looks beautiful but also Convenience is taken into account.

Soon, after the meal, the fruits were ready for people to bring to the main hall, and those who saw the dishes were smiling and knew how satisfied the master was.

In the past few days, because the emperor came here often and praised the chef of Cuiyuexuan, everyone in Yayuan was in a good mood.

The emperor left after finishing his lunch, Lin Xiaorou was a little sleepy because he didn't sleep at night.So I was going to find a quiet place to take a nap for a while.

However, this Cuiyue Pavilion is full of people, and I really can't find a suitable place. Lin Xiaorou is so bold that she sneaks out of Cuiyue Pavilion and climbs onto a big tree in a small forest next to Cuiyue Pavilion, which is almost untouched. rest.

The canopy of the big tree is so big that it just covers the sun, and it is very comfortable to sleep in the coolness.

Lin Xiaorou yawned and closed her eyes, preparing to fall asleep.

Soon the dream came, and the overwhelming white mist surrounded her.

In the white mist, she couldn't see anything, and everything she saw was white, as if she was standing in a white wilderness.

Lin Xiaorou ran, no matter where she ran, it was all white.

It was a desperate whiteness, just like the whiteness in the hospital ward, it was almost suffocating and oppressive.

She hugged her head with a headache, knowing that this was a dream, but she couldn't wake herself up and escape from the dream.

"Xiao Rou, give me back my life, give me back my life."

Suddenly a red figure in front of her slowly moved towards her. She was stunned, stared blankly, and then screamed, because the figure was so red because it was covered in blood, and a bloody smell wafted to make people feel sick. do evil.

"Give me back my life." The red figure grinned with blood all over his face, and a lot of worms fell from his mouth.

"Help." She screamed in the dream, the blood shadow stretched out two hands, its sharp nails pinched towards her neck, its mouth opened and disgusting bugs fell on her face.

Just when she felt as if she was about to suffocate, a burst of golden light suddenly shot out, and then one person pushed back the blood shadow and pulled her up from the ground.

"Xiaorou."

Lin Xiaorou looked at the sudden arrival of the savior, and immediately burst into tears, it was Huo Qihan.

He stood in front of him with picturesque eyes, with a faint smile, just like his beautiful appearance at the beginning, those eyes seemed to hide all the sunlight inside, looking at her, she couldn't look away even half of it.

"Qi Han, I finally see you." Lin Xiaorou cried very sadly. She wanted to throw herself into Huo Qihan's arms, but when she rushed over, Huo Qihan disappeared like smoke. Air.

Looking at the empty palm, she cried even more sadly.

Crying and crying, she finally woke herself up from crying. She opened her eyes and her face was wet. Lin Xiaorou stared blankly at the top of the tree, and the longing for Huo Qihan in her heart was surging like a tide.

Some feelings are like floating sand, which feels painful when held in the hand, but when the hand is loosened, the sand disperses with the wind, and the palm becomes empty again, so the heart is also empty.

The current Lin Xiaorou's heart is like floating sand, lost little by little in thoughts, and then let go.

Blinking his eyes, he was about to get rid of the distress, and slowly got up, when a strange sound came from below.

Lin Xiaorou lowered her head, and at a glance she saw two figures standing furtively behind the tree. She turned her head to the left and this angle was just right to see the people below clearly.

A man and a woman. The woman is wearing a water-blue palace gauze dress. She has fair skin, clear eyebrows and eyes, and flowers on her forehead. She doesn't look like a court lady.

The man was wearing a yellow soft robe, with curly hair and starry eyes, thin lips and sword eyebrows. He was also very handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor.

Are these two lovers?But why do you have to come here to love each other?Lin Xiaorou sat on the tree and didn't dare to move, she wanted to wait until the pair of mandarin ducks were done with each other before leaving, this would be good for both of them and herself.

She closed her eyes and told herself not to look at evil, but the provocative voice made her feel itchy, so she opened her eyes secretly to take a look, oh my god, do you want to be so explosive.

Although it was said that no one would come to this forest, it was broad daylight after all, and the undressed man seemed a little too hungry.

However, the terrible thing is that this woman is so proud, the softness of her breasts is jaw-droppingly large, it can be seen clearly from Lin Xiaorou's angle, and that man seems to like this pair of softness very much, Biting and gnawing makes people blush and heartbeat.
