It was the third time she walked into Shou'an Hall, but Yong Ruo did not "sit and serve tea" in the small flower hall, but was directly brought into Concubine Shen's main room.
In the main room, Concubine Shen was sitting on the couch in the middle, Nanny Du was standing behind Concubine Shen, Concubine Ying was sitting on the first armchair on the east side, and several girls and women stood around.
"My concubine is from the Yong clan, please greet the concubine." Yong Ruo stepped forward slowly and saluted the concubine Shen.
"Get up!" Concubine Shen said lightly.
"Concubine Xie." Yong Ruo stood up straight, thinking: Concubine Shen's tone is actually very peaceful, which song is this singing from
"To tell you the truth: because of your background, I didn't like you very much." Concubine Shen still said in that flat tone, "Now that the grievances of your natal family have been cleared, you can be regarded as a woman from a good family. It’s not too much to tarnish the lintels of Prince Ying’s Mansion and Prince Heng’s Mansion. You’ve been in the mansion for more than half a month, and you’ve been keeping yourself safe, so I’ll ask you to come and see me, and I’ll ask you a few words by the way.”
Concubine Shen's words were reasonable and reasonable, not only explained the reason why she treated Yong Ruo coldly before, but also explained the reason why her attitude changed at this moment.
Even Yong Ruo couldn't help but wonder: Concubine Shen has really changed her view of herself? She had doubts in her heart, but she blessed without any abnormality: "Thank you, Concubine. Please take care of Concubine."
"I heard that you've been drinking milk recently? Brother Liao is also drinking together?" The tone was still very calm, not like the tone of provoking a teacher.
"yes!"
"Why drink this? Did you ask the imperial doctor?" The tone of the question was still very peaceful.
Yong Ruo had expected Shen Taifei to ask this question, and calmly replied: "When I was young, I once heard a wandering doctor say: Milk is extremely nourishing, as long as the body is not broken, it is no harm to drink it. For a while now I read the medical books, and the medical books also said: Milk nourishes the stomach, relieves heat and poison, nourishes the heart and lungs, and nourishes fatigue. So I want to use milk to nourish my body. I have asked Dr. Xu about this, and Dr. Xu said: You can try it. "
"I heard..." Concubine Shen said very slowly, "Your mother was very ill and was cured by a folk prescription made of milk?"
A flash of light flashed in Yong Ruo's mind, and he suddenly guessed the root cause of Shen Taifei's words and deeds today: Yongchang is waiting for the Yang family! Young Master Yang Qi!
Concubine Shen's only daughter, Xing'an Princess Feng Yi, is the wife of Yang Jingyue, the prince of Yongchang!
He was once one of the candidates for Young Master Yang Qi. When they got engaged, both Zhou and Yang Qi were seriously ill; now, Zhou has recovered, how is the condition of that young master Yang Qi? Hehe, did the Yang family regret the divorce, and Feng Yi was involved in this matter
She smiled and said: "To the Concubine: My concubine's mother was not cured by this recipe. Imperial Physician Xu said personally: This folk prescription does have the effect of replenishing vitality, but he does not believe that this folk prescription can bring the dead back to life. Imperial Physician Xu He also said: Maybe the decoction used by the concubine's mother, and the ingredients in this recipe, had some kind of effect of the monarch and his ministers, so that the concubine's mother was cured by chance. Xu Taiji said that sister Jasmine next to the princess should You can hear it clearly."
The role of "folk remedies" must not be exaggerated. Otherwise, Yang Qi won't be able to eat well - this is inevitable - she will be easily angered.
It is most appropriate and safest to attribute the credit for curing Zhou's family to Dr. Xu and "luck".
She came up with the "recipe" before, mainly to fool Dr. Xu, a professional who understands Zhou's condition very well, and let milk appear in the recipes of those close to her.
Concubine Shen felt a little difficult to say what to say next, so she winked at Princess Ying who was sitting next to her.
Princess Ying smiled and said, "I'm very interested in this folk recipe that can replenish vitality! Yongmei, I'll exchange with you double the recipe and a set of red gold emerald emerald hair, how about it?"
Yong Ruo calmly smiled and said, "Why do you need an exchange? If the princess is curious, I'll write it down and ask the princess and princess to take a look."
Concubine Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled brightly: "Although you are generous, I can't ask for your things in vain. If I say exchange, it is an exchange!" Then she smiled to Concubine Shen, "Concubine Mother, I would like to borrow your four treasures of the study here. Is it good to use once?"
Concubine Shen smiled and said, "Why do you borrow it? I'm curious too!" Then she ordered the girl to get the Four Treasures of the Study.
"There is just one thing that needs to be reported to the concubine and the concubine." While waiting for the four treasures of the study, Yong Ruo said solemnly, "I heard this prescription when I was young, and I remembered it in my sleep a few days ago. I am afraid of myself His memory was wrong, so he didn't dare to show it around. Apart from leaving it for his natal family to try out, he only sent one copy to Imperial Doctor Xu. If you want to try it, you must first ask the imperial physician to see if there is any Chongke."
"It's natural, why should you tell me?" Princess Ying said with a smile.
When the girl brought the Four Treasures of the Study, Yong Ruo wrote out several ways to eat milk in public, and handed it to Concubine Shen and Princess Ying to "watch": "My mother used the recipe 'Yiyuan Porridge'. This recipe I remember it a little more clearly. The other recipes are a little uncertain, and now my younger brothers are eating and playing."
When Princess Ying took the prescription, she praised it first: "Yong Meiren's handwriting is very strong!"
Yong Ruo said modestly, "Princess is too famous! She can barely see people." These days, she has also been practicing calligraphy every day, and gradually regained the feeling of writing with a brush.
Princess Ying glanced at the prescription, and then sent it to Concubine Shen.
Concubine Shen looked at Fang Zi, she was noncommittal, rewarded Yong Ruo with two sets of exquisitely crafted headgear and some clothing materials, and told Yong Ruo to leave after a few words like "serve the prince well".
Yong Ruo was very regretful that he did not receive sterilization medicine in Shou'an Hall.
Hua Rou waited for the girl but was overjoyed: "The concubine gave so many things to the beauties, I think she is getting to know the benefits of beauties gradually, and she will like beauties more and more in the future!"
Yong Ruo didn't want to poke the sweet dreams of a few girls, but only thought about Young Master Yang Qi's illness in his heart.
If Mr. Yang Qi is his husband now, he may have a chance to save him. But now that he is married to Feng Liao, Yang Qi is a foreigner. Even if he was willing to score points, there was no reason to check on Yang Qi's illness, and it was even more impossible to get within one meter of Yang Qi to inject the elixir. Therefore, Young Master Yang Qi can only ask for blessings!
Not long after returning to Wuchen Residence, Jasmine, the eldest girl next to Princess Ying, brought her several recipes given to her by Princess Ying. Jewelry, a few bolts of cloth.
Yong Ruo thought: Princess Ying is bleeding a lot this time!
The things she sent were far more than what she promised to give herself. Is it because she wrote a few more "recipes"
She thought a little amusedly: For the purpose of clarifying, the several ways to eat milk that I wrote more, wouldn't it become bundled sales and forced consumption? ! The dowry and private house of the British princess should be very generous, right
After sending Jasmine away, she thought about it for a while, then called Jiao Zhu, and said in a low voice: "During this time, you don't need to do anything else, just lead people to keep an eye on the movement in the mansion. If Princess Xing'an returns to her mother's house, , you report to me immediately."
Since Jiao Zhu followed Yong Ruo, he hasn't been assigned any important errands yet, so he is worried. At this time, after listening to Yong Ruo's order, he quickly agreed excitedly and enthusiastically, and immediately took people to arrange it.
Yong Ruo didn't know what happened to the Yang family.
Because of the embarrassing relationship with the "former fiancé's family", she couldn't carelessly inquire about the Yang family's affairs, so she had to passively defend herself - defending against Princess Xing'an.
She had never met Feng Yi, the princess of Xing'an County, but she still got some information about the princess of Xing'an County from Feng Liao, Jiao Zhu, Hua Rou, Yu Jing and others.
The order of birth of the four children of Prince Laoying is: the concubine Fengkuan, the legitimate son Fengshi, the legitimate daughter Fengyi, and the legitimate son Fengliao.
It is said that when Princess Xing'an was not married, she was very domineering and irritable. She once kicked the house of her brother Fengshi into the lotus pond in the cold winter months and refused to be rescued.
The water at the edge of the lotus pond was not deep, but Natongfang had been soaking in the icy water for at least a quarter of an hour, and his lower body was so cold that he couldn't feel it. After being rescued, Na Tongfang developed a high fever that night and died within two days.
The cause of this incident is said to be that Feng Shi bought a pair of jade hairpins outside, and originally planned to have one for each of the two rooms. Unexpectedly, he gave the first hairpin to the unlucky Tongfang, and the other hairpin was taken by Princess Xing'an, Feng Shi didn't think much about it, and directly gave the hairpin to his sister.
Then, Princess Xing'an, who was wearing this Jade Hairpin, met in the garden with Unlucky Tongfang, who was wearing the same Jade Hairpin. Princess Xing'an said that she had been insulted, and the previous scene happened.
Yongruo also heard that the husband-in-law of the princess of Xing'an, the son-in-law of Yongchang Marquis Yang Jingyue Fengshen Junlang, is a famous handsome man in Beijing.
Shizi Yang originally had a childhood sweetheart fiancée, but before the wedding date, his fiancée suddenly fell ill and died. Later, Princess Xing'an married Yang Shizi, and it is said that the Empress Dowager personally made a matchmaker.
This matter made Yong Ruo smell a bit of conspiracy. Did Yang Shizi's fiancée really die of a "sudden illness"
Of course, she didn't have any evidence, so she couldn't make any random conclusions.
But these two incidents made Yongruo have to be wary of Princess Xing'an.
What if Princess Xing'an felt that she, a woman who had been divorced by her husband's family, was "insulting" her by marrying her natal family as a concubine
For the next two days, Feng Liao still left early and returned late every day.
Yong Ruo asked him what he was doing, but he smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
On the afternoon of the third day, Feng Liao was not there, and Yong Ruo was reading in the study when Jiao Zhu came to report: Princess Xing'an has returned to her natal family, and went to Shou'an Hall of Concubine Shen.
Yong Ruo was silent, put down the book, and said to Jiao Zhu: "Send someone quietly to watch the intersection from Shou'an Hall to Wuchenju, and be careful not to be discovered. If you find that Princess Xing'an is coming in the direction of Wuchenju, immediately Come and report me. If you can, pay attention to the face of Princess Xing'an."
Jiao Zhu agreed, and trotted away.
Yong Ruo put on the shoes he usually wears when exercising, and changed into more plain clothes, and ordered Hua Rou and Yu Jing: "If the princess of Xing'an comes to Wuchenju, Hua Rou will take refuge in Qinfang Garden with me." I dodge. Yujing stays. If Princess Xing’an asks where I am going, you tell her directly, and you don’t need to hide it; if Princess Xing’an smashes the house, you can just persuade her, don’t stop her desperately, just let her smash it. "
Hua Ruan Yujing agreed, but she was very puzzled: "It's all right, why did Princess Xing'an come to smash our house?"
Yong Ruo sighed: "Maybe I'm overthinking, and nothing like that will happen..."
Huarou and Yujing exchanged worried glances, and Yujing asked again: "Then why did you let her smash it? There are many good things in this room, it would be a pity to smash them!"
Yong Ruo smiled wryly: "She is a majestic princess. If she wants to smash the house, who among us can stop it? Just let her smash it, and don't suffer. If you love good things, pick a few precious ones Put it away first!"
After confessing, she stepped out of her room. I thought about the route from Shou'an Hall to Wuchenju, and planned to go to the front yard of Wuchenju to take a look at the cherry blossoms that had just opened.
As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she heard Yujing instructing the little girl: "... put away this nave, and find another one to hang up... put away this painting too... put away this ornament too..."
Yong Ruo was slightly embarrassed: If Princess Xing'an didn't come to make trouble, she would be ashamed!
