Queen Of Medicine

Getting up too early in the morning, Zhuo Xi fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow on the carriage. She didn't wake up until noon. After only half a day, the carriage had left Kyoto and drove down the official road to the south.

Jing Yuan put down her hand, patted her ruddy cheeks because of sleep, and asked, "wake up?"

"That's natural. If you go to sleep again, I don't know where the official is going to turn me?"

"Oh, now the little lady is awake. Do you know where the king is going to turn you?" He asked with a smile.

She was stunned. She was really... No matter how thin she was, she covered her head again. "I'll sleep a little longer. Please wake me up when the king comes to the stronghold..."

He asked again, "it's nice. The little lady can serve the king well when she's full of sleep!"

She pulled down her thin quilt angrily. "You took six eunuchs, eight palace maids and twelve golden guards out of the door. Isn't it enough for so many people to serve you?"

He reached out and rubbed her messy hair. "Heaven and earth conscience, these eight palace maids and five eunuchs are all people in your Ning'an palace. Who am I bringing so many people out to serve? " In fact, he took one of the five rivers. If it wasn't for security, he didn't want to take one of the Jin Yuwei.

Zhuo Xi Yusai, all right. But she only wanted to bring two people out at random. Unexpectedly, before leaving, the emperor asked several people on duty one by one. She felt that there should be no less hair combs, no less starches, no less people who can boil water, no less people who can cook food, and even no less people who can make beds... As a result, she brought out all eight palace maids and five little eunuchs at one go. I took five carriages

Jing Yuan lowered his head, approached the tip of her nose and whispered, "however, there are some personal things. How can we do without the little lady?!"

She pushed away his handsome face with a "bah", but a red glow climbed up his face unconsciously.

After thinking about it, she said reluctantly, "I don't know when you became so eloquent?" When he remembered that he was still the Marquis of Guang'an, he cherished words like gold

He laughed with laughter, "when I met you, my beauty is now... How can I keep my mouth strong? Otherwise, wouldn't you be bullied to the end? " He moved his body and asked in a warm voice, "are you hungry? There are no shops in front of the village and behind the village. I can only grievance the little lady to eat some dry food... "

Zhuo Xi didn't care, nodded, "OK, give me a drink first."

The party walked and stopped, and finally reached Zihe County on the eleventh day.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter in the south. When it comes to Zihe County, the party has changed into spring clothes. There is no need to lay a thick mattress to raise the brazier. Several palace maids are much more comfortable all the way to the Spring Festival Gala. When the weather gets hot, you have to draw water and bathe as soon as you arrive at the inn. Moreover, the dry food could not be stored for too long, so we had to replenish food in the inn all the way.

Zihe county is very close to Junyao city where Jinghua is located, but it's only two or three days away. Hou Jinghua has heard from Dingyuan there. He quietly sent someone to clean up the palace established in Zisang King's room in Zihe County, and bought and prepared daily supplies to wait here.

When Zhuo Xi got out of the carriage, she was surprised to see the leader who greeted them.

It was Liu Hanzhu, Mrs. Hou of Dingyuan.

She didn't expect Jing Hua to send her wife to Zihe county to receive her.

Liu led people to salute the emperor and the empress, but he didn't say anything. He only said, "welcome master yuan and Mrs. yuan here. It's been hard all the way..."

The Jing surname is the state surname. It's too eye-catching. Originally, Jing Yuan had to claim his surname Jing. Zhuo Xi laughed at the word "two vertically and horizontally", and the two agreed to take the homonym of the latter word, surnamed yuan.

The female family members came forward to receive, but Jing Yuan couldn't answer. Zhuo Xi quickly took two steps to help Liu, "it's really hard for the Houfu in Dingyuan!"

As soon as I approached, a pleasant smell came to my face.

Liu introduced the housekeeper and servants behind her for the people from the palace.

The housekeepers and servants looked more dignified and did not dare to neglect when they saw that even the princes and ladies were so humble and polite to the visitors.

Then they welcomed them into the palace.

Zhuo Xi, with her arms around Liu's arm, whispered to her, "you smell sweet. Is it a newly developed perfume?"

She had long known that Liu was good at making incense. In fact, this was one of the reasons why she came to the south.

There was a trace of shame on Liu's face. "I was idle in Junyao city. I found several flowers that I hadn't found in Yizhou, so I tried to make some incense. Lord Hou thinks it's good to use. I can use it at will... If my mother thinks it's good, I've brought some bottles with me and asked her to taste it. "

Zhuo Xi said with a straight face, "Birch wants to call me aunt. It's good for you. We talk quietly like this and have to cry. Don't you think you don't have enough points with me? "

Liu's face was startled, and then some panic, "aunt... Aunt, it's my nephew's daughter-in-law who is not sensible. Don't be angry..."

"That's good. Then you're welcome! If you have any good smell, just bring it! Aunt, I'll talk to you about a deal later! "

In Liu's surprise, the two settled down in the palace, and specially asked them to have a good sleep on the way and talk about the reception banquet tomorrow

Liu naturally did not dare to disagree.

But that night, the two masters quarreled in the Mufeng hall where they rested.

This is unprecedented.

In the eyes of the Palace officials and eunuchs accompanying them, the two masters are just like glue and harmony. If there are occasional differences, they just release air-conditioning to freeze the people around them. They have never been so angry.

The Spring Festival Gala and Wuhe took the lead and almost rushed in.

When their hands touched the gate, the word "get out" came from inside

Five rivers run with tears.

Chunnuan looked at the door in front of her, thought about it, and decided to take a risk to push the door in.

Wuhe was so scared that she was in a cold sweat that she hurriedly pulled her aside, "Oh, my aunt chunnuan, the master is kind. Don't mess up..."

Chunnuan thought carefully. He was also in a cold sweat. He hurried to thank him, "thank you for the reminder of the five river supervisor."

Since it is an unprecedented quarrel, the two masters certainly don't want a third person to know. If they rush in rashly... It must bring disaster to the fish in the pond

She quickly dismissed the other palace attendants, "go back to the house and have a rest! Tomorrow the Lord will call us in if he needs us! "

The others were relieved, saluted and retreated.

Chunnuan looked anxiously at the closed door, sighed and retreated.

Wuhe Old God was shaking the dust in his hand and went outside the second door to sit on the ground.

After a while, a figure angrily opened the door of the inner hall and came out.

Wuhe quickly stood up and bowed to follow the figure.

The next day, Zhuo Xi woke up, stretched in a good mood and called the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala came in with a worried face.

Zhuo Xi, however, was waiting on them to dress and wash as if nothing had happened.

Then Liu came in and said that breakfast was ready.

Zhuo Xi went to the east room for dinner.

Liu said humbly, "my concubine prepared it according to the habits in Kyoto. I don't know if it suits my mother's taste."

Zhuo Xi saw that it was all steamed buns and steamed bread noodles. Although he was not very happy, he didn't choose. He picked several kinds and ate two of them before he put down his chopsticks and said, "Chunxi brought by our palace is the best at cooking. If you are not sure, you can send her."

Liu Shi hurriedly said, "how dare I send the people around my mother."

"If you don't even send her, what can the palace do with three meals in the future?" Zhuo Xi smiled.

Liu realized this and quickly thanked him.

Zhuo Xi rustled up and said, "your name is Hanzhu, isn't it?"

Liu nodded and replied, "how dare you worry about my mother?"

Zhuo Xi said with a smile, "we're going out to visit yunyin Temple later. Do you want me to call you Mrs. Hou in front of outsiders?"

Liu Shi was stunned and carefully replied, "aunt can call my body Hanzhu."

Zhuo Xi walked out and smiled, "don't be too careful. We are a family. Don't be too outspoken. "

"Yes." Liu's heart kept muttering. Yesterday she asked people to pay attention to the needs of Mufeng hall, but she heard people report that it seemed that the emperor had quarreled with the empress, and the Emperor didn't return all night. Why does the queen have to visit yunyin temple as planned?

People are too busy to get on the horse.

Half an hour later, Liu accompanied Zhuo Xi on the carriage to yunyin temple.

All the way, Zhuo Xi looked at the spring outside the car and sighed, "it's still comfortable in the south! The sun is bright and the scenery is pleasant... "The point is that you don't have to wear too thick... Your actions are much more flexible.

Liu accompanied me to chat, "isn't it? My nephew's daughter-in-law was also surprised when she first arrived at Junyao city. It's coldest here all year round, but you can't even use a fur jacket with a shoulder. Originally, when my nephew and daughter-in-law were in Yizhou, they had to wear camisoles at least three seasons of the year. In winter, you even have to wrap two layers of fox fur. "

Zhuo Xi nodded, "there are great differences in climate between the north and the south, and the species are also relatively unusual. I heard that yunyin mountain, where yunyin temple is located, stands high into the clouds. There must be many strange flowers and plants. "

Liu covered his mouth and said with a smile, "my niece doesn't understand herbs, but there are really many strange flowers that my niece didn't see when she was in Yizhou." She took out two small pottery bottles from her sleeves and handed them to Zhuo Xi in both hands. "Sixth aunt, the red bottle is made by my nephew and daughter-in-law with a kind of Erythrina flower, and the blue bottle is made of a kind of Chenxi flower. If you like it, my nephew and daughter-in-law have some other fragrance in the flower shop in Junyao city. She will order someone to bring it in a few days. "

"The six aunts are welcome." Zhuo Xi poured out a little juice from the red bottle, put it on his wrist, smelled it, poured out a little juice from the blue bottle and put it on the wrist of the other hand. Then he mixed them a little, rubbed them into Liu's wrist and motioned her to smell them.

After hearing this, Liu said in surprise, "my nephew and daughter-in-law have made incense for so many years, but she has never thought of mixing such two kinds of flower fragrance together. The Erythrina flowers are cold and elegant, and the Cassia flowers are strong and sweet. Such a mixture is cold and sweet. "

Zhuo Xi nodded, "not only the fragrance of flowers can be mixed, but also the fragrance of some grass can be mixed. This is one of the purposes of my southbound trip. If you don't mind the trouble, let's move your set of incense making tools. We can consult together. "

Liu said excitedly, "OK! Good! "
