Song Jinning did not expect that she would see Liu Lanxi again so soon.
The cause was that the Empress Dowager Song was ill.
Speaking of the weather these days is really abnormal. First, the sun was shining brightly, and the hot people wished they could drink snow and lie on the ice. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind on the flat ground, followed by lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down, as if returning to the early spring overnight.
The temperature changed so much within one or two days that many people in the palace caught cold. This includes the Queen Mother Song.
When Song Jinning heard the news, she immediately rushed to Shoukang Palace to attend to the sick.
When they got there, they heard Empress Dowager Song talking to Cui Nong.
"I'm so old, and several people like him have been born. Seeing that he still uses a curtain? Let him feel his pulse like this."
Song Jinning: ...
If she remembers correctly, Queen Mother Song is only thirty-six years old now, right? Why are you so old? He is clearly a middle-aged man in his prime, okay
But then I thought that this era cannot be compared with modern times. Otherwise, at the age of fifteen, she is still in junior high school in modern times, but she is already married at this moment.
This is really a thing and a person, and everything is different. If you want to speak, tears will flow first, and tears will flow first.
Song Jinning stood there for two seconds in a state of depression, then raised her foot and walked eastward.
At a glance, the Empress Dowager Song was sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch by the window, and a young man was half kneeling in front of the couch.
Looking at the clothes on his body, he could be regarded as an imperial doctor, and looking at his profile, he looked gentle and delicate.
With just one glance, Song Jinning recognized that this was the Liu Lanxi she met in the lane that day.
It seems that this Imperial Physician Liu is not only outstanding from the front, but also from the side.
Song Jinning put her feet back, stood quietly beside the green gauze cabinet, held her breath and watched Liu Lanxi give the Empress Dowager Song her pulse with half-closed eyes.
After Liu Lanxi withdrew her hand, Song Jinning continued to move forward and called her aunt with a smile.
Although the maids serving in the palace had just seen Song Jinning coming, Song Jinning quietly shook his head at the maidservants so as not to disturb the pulse of Liulanxi, so he waited until she made a sound now. Only then did Liu Lanxi know that she was here.
Empress Dowager Song talked to her with a smile: "Ning'er, are you here?"
Liu Lanxi hurriedly turned around, knelt down with both legs, and bowed to Song Jinning.
"My minister has seen the empress."
"Get up." Song Jinning waved his hand to signal him not to be too polite, and then asked, "How is the Queen Mother?"
Liu Lanxi didn't dare to look up at her at all. Lowering his head halfway, he answered her question respectfully.
It's not a big problem, it's just that the temperature has changed too fast, and it's a bit cold, and it's just a cold.
He will prescribe two patches of medicine, and the Queen Mother can take it if she wants to, or if she doesn't want to. The wind and cold are not severe, and it will be better in two days.
When the Empress Dowager Song heard this, she said, "If that's the case, then you don't need to prescribe medicine."
Since the wind and cold can be cured by oneself, who would be willing to drink that bitter medicine.
Liu Lanxi replied yes. He also told Cui Nong and other maidservants that if the Empress Dowager's diet should be light in the past two days, they would leave.
The Empress Dowager Song waited for him to go far away, then smiled and said to Song Jinning: "This imperial physician Liu is good. Unlike other imperial physicians, all of them are handsome and pale, and they must memorize a long section of medical books first, so that they appear to be themselves. It seems that you are knowledgeable and talented. Then you are too cautious. Even if you only have a very small cut on your finger, you must be prescribed a lot of medicine for you to drink."
Song Jinning recalled what Liu Lanxi said just now, and it was indeed a very concise and clear explanation of the Empress Dowager Song's condition. Even the matter of whether or not to drink medicine is directly stated, which is frank enough.
"This Liu Lanxi is so young, he actually became an imperial doctor?"
No wonder Song Jinning was curious. Because in terms of medical skills, the more experienced the better. And this experience is rich, and it will generally be linked to age. Seeing that Liu Lanxi was only in her early twenties, she was able to enter the imperial hospital, which really made people feel a little puzzled.
"There's an old saying that hard work makes up for weakness, but I don't think that's true."
After taking the tea bowl that Cui Nong handed over, the Empress Dowager Song took a few sips, and then continued, "This person, some people are born smart, no matter what they do, they can understand everything. He is extremely talented, and no one else can compare to him no matter how hard he works. This Liu Lanxi has a great talent in medical skills."
Then Empress Dowager Song gave Song Jinning some popular science information about Liu Lanxi.
It turned out that this Liu family was originally a famous Xinglin family in the capital, and Liu Lanxi's uncle had worked in the Imperial Hospital in his early years.
Although his uncle had two sons, it was obvious that neither of these two sons was expected to study medicine. On the contrary, the son of my second brother showed the talent of studying medicine at a young age.
So the old imperial physician Liu took Liu Lanxi by his side to teach him carefully, so that he could take over his position as an imperial physician and continue to flourish the Liu family.
As soon as she said that, Song Jinning understood.
Presumably the reason why Liu Lanxi was able to enter the imperial hospital at such a young age was, on the one hand, of course because of her superior strength, on the other hand, it was probably also because of the people above her.
However, Song Jinning quite agrees with the Empress Dowager Song's statement about talent.
Since she was a child, she heard adults say that genius is 99% hard work plus 1% talent, but no adults have ever told her, but that 1% talent is extremely important.
Therefore, it is better to give up some fields that you know you are not good at earlier, so as to save time and effort and then get no results.
Song Jinning felt that she was an ordinary person in her previous life, without any talent, but in this life...
"Aunt," she asked enthusiastically, "do you think I'm particularly talented in something?"
"you?"
Empress Dowager Song glanced at her sideways, and replied with a suppressed smile, "Well, you're pretty good at reincarnation."
Song Jinning: ...
The implication of this co-author is that she has no talent at all.
"I think she is very talented in one thing."
Suddenly, there was a calm, slightly teasing voice at the door.
Song Jinning didn't even need to look back to know that it was Li Chengxuan who came. Of course, she knew better that this guy would definitely not be able to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.
Sure enough, when the Empress Dowager Song asked him with a smile what he thought Song Jinning was talented in, he saw this guy give Song Jinning a sideways look, and answered one word lightly.
"eat!"
Song Jinning: ...
Dry! If it wasn't for the Queen Mother Song being here, I would have raised my hand and slapped you, would you believe it or not
He didn't want to talk to Li Chengxuan at all, and drank his tea with downcast eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Li Chengxuan coming over to salute the Queen Mother, and then Shi Shiran sat down in a chair.
Empress Dowager Song didn't feel that Li Chengxuan was mocking Song Jinning.
According to the news she got during these days, Li Chengxuan and Song Jinning got along pretty well.
Not only will she often go to Weiyang Palace to stay overnight, but she will also often accompany Song Jinning to have meals.
Even if Li Chengxuan just teased Song Jinning, maybe this is the interest between the two young couples. It's better for her from the previous generation to not interfere in their affairs.
He just smiled and asked Li Chengxuan why he came here.
Li Chengxuan replied that he heard that the Empress Dowager Song was ill and came to visit immediately. Then he asked the Empress Dowager Song what was wrong with concern, did she ever call the imperial doctor to see, what the imperial doctor said and so on.
Empress Dowager Song answered his questions one by one with a smile. On the surface, she seemed to be filial and loving to her mother.
Song Jinning was not interested in the meaningless conversation between the two of them, and turned to look out the window.
It was still cloudy and rainy yesterday, but it cleared up early today, a rare sunny day.
The camphor tree in the courtyard is changing its leaves. Where the wind passes, the old crimson leaves flutter down leisurely, and the new green leaves sway up and down under the light golden sunlight.
Lunch is served at Shoukang Palace.
After talking with the Queen Mother for a while after the meal, Song Jinning got up to make a speech.
People who are suffering from the wind and cold should definitely rest more. What is it like to sit here and talk to people all the time, disturbing people's rest.
As soon as she opened her mouth to leave, Li Chengxuan naturally didn't want to wait too long, so he also got up to make a speech.
The two walked out of the gate of Shoukang Palace one after the other, and saw Li Chengxuan's sedan chair parked outside.
"You didn't come in a sedan chair?"
It was Li Chengxuan who was asking Song Jinning.
When he came to Shoukang Palace, he didn't see a sedan chair outside, so he didn't know Song Jinning was here beforehand. It was only after entering the palace gate and hearing Song Jinning's voice that she knew she was here.
What he heard at that time was the phrase Aunt, do you think I am particularly talented in something
The very soft and crisp voice, like a child acting like a baby in front of a close elder, makes people's hearts soften when they hear it.
Song Jinning glanced at Gu Yu indiscriminately, thinking, I want to come in a sedan chair, but the key is that Gu Yu won't let me do anything.
But you still have to pretend. Otherwise, it would appear that she is too shameless as a queen, and is being tightly controlled by a maidservant.
Just folded his sleeves with both hands, a group of teachers taught their children a high-level appearance, and earnestly taught this ineffective 'child' in front of him.
"There is a saying in "Su Wen" that harmonizes the five flavors, the bones are straight and the tendons are soft, the qi and blood flow, and the interstitial muscles are dense. If so, the bones will be refined. Sitting still for a long time is not good for the body. Therefore, I always travel He walks on his own, never in a sedan chair."
Gu Yu, Bai Lu: ...
These words are said by the empress who can sit but not stand, and can lie but not sit, why is it so unconvincing
As for Li Chengxuan, the corners of his lips twitched slightly after hearing this.
Li Chengxuan thought he had a good eye for seeing people. These days, Song Jinning has already seen that Song Jinning is a lazy person, but now she will be high-sounding and say such things in front of him with righteous words!
Fine. As an emperor, he should have the bearing of an emperor, so don't expose her lies, let her move herself.
So he changed the subject and asked Song Jinning: "Are you going back to the palace now, or where are you going?"
Although the Qingming Festival has passed and all the flowers have withered, there are still many beautiful trees to admire in the Imperial Garden.
Besides, the imperial palace is huge, and this guy is quite playful, so he might go somewhere to play.
Where else can I go? Take a walk to get rid of food, and then go back to the palace for an afternoon nap.
Haven't you heard the phrase "winter in March when you are sleepy in spring, sleepy in autumn, sleepy in summer, and unable to wake up?"
So Song Jinning lazily replied: "Go back to the palace."
After hearing this, Li Chengxuan thought for a while, then turned his head and told Zhou Jing: "Move the memorial that I haven't finished reading yesterday to Weiyang Palace."
Song Jinning was about to yawn with her right hand covering her lips, but when she heard that she didn't even bother to yawn, she asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"
Just as Zhou Jing respectfully responded to Li Chengxuan's words, Zhou Jing, who had not yet turned around to leave, could not help but think in his heart, it seems that the Queen and His Majesty are on good terms. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be angry at all about what the queen said was rude.
Li Chengxuan glanced lightly at Song Jinning, but didn't answer at all.
He just turned around and walked in the direction of Weiyang Palace first.
Zhou Jing hesitated for a while, but still chased after him and said, "Your Majesty, please get on the sedan chair."
This Shoukang Palace is not close to Weiyang Palace, it takes half a stick of incense to walk.
"Need not."
Li Chengxuan gave Song Jinning a squinting look again, and then said slowly, "I will listen to the Queen's words today, and walk for a while, it will be good for my health."
Song Jinning: ...
I always feel that Li Chengxuan's words mean something, although she has no proof.
Moreover, if you don't want to sit in the sedan chair, I want to sit in it. The journey of half a stick of incense is very tiring.
But she can only think about it in her heart. Because that is a dragon chariot, only the emperor can sit on it, even if she is the empress now, she can't go beyond the rules.
He had no choice but to glance at the dragon chariot greedily, and then walked forward slowly.
Not wanting to leave this way, I ran into Jiang Wanqiu.
So it was because of her intervention that the hero and heroine met in advance
Does that mean that she can go back to Yunnan happily after being deposed earlier
