Xu Lingyi woke up after being stopped by the queen mother, stopped awkwardly, stood at the threshold, and looked back at the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager's face was a little dark, and she asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter with your appearance?"
Xu Lingyi's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down. He turned around and walked to the Queen Mother, and said to her, "Grandmother, I have been reflecting on these days behind closed doors in the mansion, studying medical books every day. This appearance is... after taking Some conditioning medicine... "
The Empress Dowager also vaguely heard that Xu Lingyi had stayed behind closed doors after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. She was studying medical books. She heard this and said dubiously, "You prescribed the healing medicine yourself according to the medical books?"
Xu Lingyi nodded, "Exactly."
After hearing the words, the Queen Mother stared at Xu Lingyi for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell, so she thought about it and said to her, "Ai's family has grown more hair recently, and your conditioning medicine really has the effect of beautifying and beautifying your face." Why don’t you write a prescription for Ai’s family, and Ai’s family will try it too.”
Xu Lingyi's heart skipped a beat, "Grandmother, this..."
The queen mother looked at her, and said with a smile, "What? You don't want to? There are good things, and you hide them yourself? Even the Ai family can't bear to give them?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head quickly, "No."
The Empress Dowager said, "If you don't, just write it out." After saying that, she said to the mother beside her, "Go, lay down a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her."
Mammy hurried away.
The queen mother smiled and looked at Xu Lingyi, "The Ai family has not seen you for nearly half a year. Your appearance has indeed changed a lot. The Ai family is old and cares about this gorgeous appearance very much. It is not as good as you young people. You are obviously very beautiful, and you still want to more beautiful."
Xu Lingyi was put on the shelf, hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and said to the queen mother, "My prescription may not be effective for Huafa, but my aunt can try it too." After saying that, she turned around and went to the paved bed. Write prescriptions with a brush on rice paper.
The Empress Dowager observed her carefully, and saw the phoenix flower on her wrist, "Huh?" and asked, "Lingyi, I don't remember any flowers on your wrist. When did you have a flower?"
Xu Lingyi retracted his sleeves, and said back, "Grandmother, I carved this tattoo on myself when I was free."
The queen mother looked at her, "Come here, let Aijia take a look, Aijia's eyes are blurred, and he can't see it from a distance."
Xu Lingyi put down her pen, came to the Empress Dowager, rolled up her sleeves, revealing the phoenix flowers.
The queen mother took her wrist, looked at it carefully for a moment, and praised, "When did you learn this technique of tattooing? It's like growing in the body, it's lifelike, and it's very beautiful."
Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "When you have nothing to do, you just goof around."
The Empress Dowager put down her hand and said to her, "You are young after all, this kind of floral decoration cannot be tattooed on your body at will. Your body, hair and skin, belong to your parents." After saying that, she said, "Forget it, your parents are both deceased. Alright, Aijia is in a good mood today, so I won’t talk about you. Go and write.”
Xu Lingyi nodded, and went back home to continue writing the prescription.
After a long time, a prescription was finally written out and handed to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager took it with her hand, and she saw the beautiful and upright regular script. She looked at Xu Lingyi's handwriting. Most of the ladies in the capital learned this kind of delicate regular script. It was a bit strong, but it was a pity that the hostility was hidden. In delicate, too gloomy. She thought of the prescription that Su Fengnuan had prescribed earlier. The handwriting of the two of them was very different. One made people feel uncomfortable from person to character, and the other made people feel uncomfortable everywhere from person to character. people are comfortable.
She thought about what happened to herself today? Looking at this child Lingyi before, I thought it was the most lovable child. She was born in the Xu family, and she is a real lady. If the empress hadn't fought with the concubine Yue Gui for many years, and the head of the country would have fought with the emperor, she had plans earlier. Let Xu Lingyi marry the prince and enter the palace as the queen. In that case, the Xu family will have three generations as the queen.
But now, why is this child becoming more and more wicked? Even she felt a little uncomfortable looking at her from the bottom of her heart.
The queen mother was silent for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay, it will be a torment for Aijia to turn around, try your prescription."
Xu Lingyi nodded.
The queen mother asked her to sit down, and asked her again, "The Ai family has not seen the father-in-law for a long time, what is the father-in-law doing recently?"
Xu Lingyi said, "This year's winter is colder than usual, and grandpa's health is not very good, so he has been idle in the mansion. The Chinese New Year is only a few days away. If the New Year's Eve banquet still does not change the old rules, my aunt will be very upset." Soon I will see Grandpa entering the palace to celebrate the new year with you and the emperor."
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Yes."
The two talked for a while, the queen mother was tired, Xu Lingyi got up to say goodbye, the queen mother left her for lunch, she shook her head and said that she would eat with grandpa when she returned home, and in the last few days, she would have lunch with grandpa. After hearing the words, the Queen Mother no longer forced her to stay, so she ordered Eunuch Yan to send her out of Ci'an Palace.
After Xu Lingyi left, the Empress Dowager said to the nurse beside her, "Go, send someone to invite Doctor Meng from the Imperial Hospital to Ai's family."
"Yes." The nun immediately ordered people to go.
The queen mother took out the prescription prescribed by Su Fengnuan earlier, and took the prescription prescribed by Xu Lingyi, compared each other for a long while, sighed and shook her head.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Meng came to Ci'an Palace.
After Doctor Meng greeted the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager waved her hand, handed him two prescriptions and said, "The Ai family got two prescriptions for beautifying beauty today, and I don't know which one to take. You can help the Ai family to see which one is better?" Where? Which one is bad? Where is it bad?"
Imperial Physician Meng nodded, stretched out his hand to take the two prescriptions, and when he took a look, he knew that they were all from the hands of a woman. Since ancient times, matters in the harem should not be careless, and everything needs to be treated with caution. So, Physician Meng looked at it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, he took the prescription written by Su Fengnuan and said, "Queen Mother, this prescription is wonderful! Although the person who prescribed this prescription seems to be weak in muscles and bones, weak in body and spleen, and has no strength to hold a pen, this prescription cannot be used. Not to mention that it is a rare good prescription. It is not only aimed at the lack of sleep and more dreams of people of your age, but also for the rejuvenation of the hair. If you let the old minister prescribe it, the old minister will not be able to prescribe such a wonderful prescription. I don’t know if this prescription is Who made it?"
The queen mother didn't answer when she heard the words, but asked him, "Where's the other one?"
Physician Meng said, "This is another prescription. Obviously, the person who wrote this prescription has a little understanding of medical principles, but he still doesn't know much about the magical effects of some herbs. There are two medicines in it. They can be used alone, but they can be used together. But it is very harmful and damages the spleen, so it should not be used without authorization.”
The queen mother was surprised, "It turned out to be like this?"
Imperial Physician Meng nodded and said, "More than that, the medicines used in this prescription are all very powerful medicines. Although they are all good medicines, but because of this, they are strong and not mild. If you follow this prescription, Not only will it cause damage to the spleen, but it will also be deficient and not replenished, and the consequences will be serious."
The Queen Mother heard the words, "It turned out to be like this, does this prescription have the quick effect of beautifying the face?"
Imperial Physician Meng shook his head, "This kind of prescription, for keeping the appearance and beautifying the face... the old minister is dull, I really don't see any effect, the harm outweighs the benefit..."
The queen mother was puzzled when she heard the words, thinking that if this is the case, what happened to Xu Lingyi? She pondered for a while, then said to Doctor Meng, "Thank you."
This is to see off the guests. If it was the past, Imperial Physician Meng would take advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye. At this time, he didn't say he wanted to leave, but looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "The Queen Mother should tell the old minister about that wonderful recipe."
The queen mother laughed immediately when she heard the words, "You are such a medical idiot." After finishing speaking, she said to him, "The wonderful prescription you mentioned was written by Miss Su Fu."
Imperial Physician Meng was startled when he heard the words, and said in surprise, "Miss Su's prescription was read by the old minister, and now I keep it by my side all the time. The handwriting shouldn't be..." After he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his head, and suddenly realized Said, "Old minister understands. I have seen Miss Su's prescription before she was injured. After the injury, her hand bones were weak, and the handwriting should be so weak. This old minister is really stupid. Who else has medical skills in the capital of Southern Qi?" Like Miss Su, who can prescribe such a wonderful prescription? Why didn't I think of it."
The Queen Mother smiled and looked at him, "You always keep Miss Su's prescriptions in your possession?"
Physician Meng nodded, "The old minister's medical skills are shallow. He has studied medical books all his life, but he is not as good as Ms. Su. With the prescriptions she prescribed, he always spurs himself..."
The queen mother smiled and said, "Since you keep it with you, it makes the Ai family curious. Take it out, and the Ai family will also take a look. The Ai family has never seen Miss Su's handwriting before she was injured."
Physician Meng nodded, reached into his bosom, took out a wrapped veil, slowly opened it, and there was a prescription folded inside, he carefully took it out and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother laughed when she saw how he was cherishing it carefully, "If Ye Chang sees it, do you think you have any other thoughts about Miss Su's family? You cherish her prescriptions so much."
Physician Meng hurriedly said, "The queen mother is making fun of the old minister, the old minister is not... is..."
The queen mother smiled and waved her hands, "Okay, the Ai family knows that you love medicine so much, it means nothing, it's really a joke to you." After saying that, she stretched out her hand to take the prescription.
This prescription is quite different from the one prescribed by Su Fengnuan today. The handwriting is flamboyant and scribbled. This is the first time she has seen such cursive script. It is really hard to tell that it is written by her daughter's family. It is a little soft. There are no traces, and the more you look at it, the more beautiful it is. Looking at such handwriting, it is like a person dancing a sword recklessly.
She took the prescription and looked at it for a while, compared it for a while, and said to Physician Meng, "Are you sure this prescription was written by Miss Su Fu?"
Physician Meng immediately said, "I can't make a mistake, the old minister saw the prescription written by her with his own eyes that day."
The queen mother was very sure when she saw Doctor Meng, thinking that she also saw the prescription written by Su Fengnuan with her own eyes today, and the handwriting written before and after the injury was really different.
Imperial Physician Meng looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "Queen Mother, can you... can someone extract a copy of your prescription and give the prescription given to you by Miss Su to the old minister for collection?"
The queen mother shook her head resolutely, "No, she gave it to the Ai family." After saying that, she handed back his prescription to him.
