The subtle change in the emperor's expression did not escape the attention of Marquis Nanyang, who smiled silently in his heart.
His guess was correct.
The emperor really didn't want his precious daughter to make a body-strengthening potion.
This scene requires a gradual progression, but Tang Cheng, who has never acted before, is full of confidence.
She already had a plan, first praise and then suppress, praise again and then suppress again, and finally fail completely. Anyway, the fun was all about the heartbeat.
At this time, Tang Cheng didn't know that life was full of surprises, especially for someone like her who only knew how to make one kind of potion.
Tang Cheng looked at the medicinal materials and medicine jars prepared by the imperial doctors as well as the fire-making nanny, and thought to himself that this was a very thorough preparation.
"Miss Fourth Tang, do you think all the herbs are complete? Are there any missing?" Doctor Chen asked with a smile.
Tang Cheng pretended to check it and shook her head: "No, it's very complete." After that, Tang Cheng picked up some medicine and was about to put it into the medicine jar, but Doctor Chen suddenly stopped her with a strange look on his face.
"Wait, Miss Fourth Tang, are you just going to throw it into the medicine jar like that?"
Tang Cheng nodded, as if it was a matter of course: "Yes, that's how I just grabbed it at that time."
"Don't worry, I have a good feel for things and can measure weights accurately. I was born to do this."
"If you don't believe me, you can try it out to see if the amount is correct."
Doctor Chen's mouth twitched.
Fourth Miss Tang is really good at boasting.
He was not at all reassured.
Thinking that this was how Fourth Miss Tang made the strengthening potion, he held back for a moment, but in the end he considered it himself.
Sure enough, the amount of medicinal materials required by the prescription was exactly the same.
Doctor Chen was extremely surprised. He didn't expect that Fourth Miss Tang had a talent for prescribing medicine.
"Miss Tang Si, please continue."
The other imperial doctors were slightly surprised when they saw this.
The Nanyang Marquis standing beside him said proudly, "Doctor Chen, am I right?"
Doctor Chen nodded truthfully: "No."
Marquis Nanyang was very happy.
Tang Cheng had a proud look on his face, with confidence surging between his brows.
emperor:"… "
It's a waste of time.
I didn't expect Tang Si had this skill.
This Tang Si, when you want her to do something wrong, she doesn't do it, but when you don't want her to do it, she does it recklessly.
The emperor was speechless.
Tang Cheng continued to pick up the medicine and put it into the medicine jar in the same order as the prescription.
Seeing that there were no problems with the steps and the amount of medicinal materials, several imperial doctors could not help but frown.
They tried this many times but failed.
Can Fourth Miss Tang really succeed
Seeing her casual look, it couldn't be that a blind cat had caught a dead mouse.
The imperial doctors didn't find anything special for the time being. At that time, the Fourth Miss Tang was openly making medicine in the yard. Ahem, it should be said that she was directing others to make medicine.
The necessary herbs were put in, and the fire-stove nanny started to light a fire in front of the stove. Tang Cheng put the remaining herbs into the medicine bowl, mashed them, and then ground them into powder.
Maybe due to the habit of making body-strengthening potions, he accidentally released his soul power onto the herbs. Tang Cheng was startled and quickly took back his soul power. He ground the herbs calmly, feeling a little guilty in his heart. It was just a little bit of soul power, so it shouldn't produce anything messy.
They are all failures anyway, so it doesn’t matter what they turn out to be.
After Tang Cheng felt guilty, he became confident again.
In the eyes of everyone, he looks very confident.
After about a cup of tea, steam gurgled out of the medicine pot and a faint medicinal smell emanated from it.
Tang Cheng ground the medicine powder and put it aside.
"Okay, wait until the medicine in the jar is ready before putting it in."
The imperial doctors hurried forward and pinched some medicinal powder for testing.
During this examination, the expressions of the imperial doctors were a little subtle.
Doctor Chen coughed lightly.
"Miss Fourth Tang, your medicine powder seems to be different from the one we grind."
When these words were spoken, the people present had different reactions.
The emperor's heart couldn't help but hang in the air, and his expression changed slightly.
Marquis Nanyang was unsure. Didn’t his precious daughter swear that she could control the success or failure of alchemy
Tang Cheng raised his chin, his almond-shaped eyes widened: "What's the difference? Weren't you guys just staring at me grinding the herbs?"
Several imperial physicians, including Imperial Physician Chen, were speechless.
It's because they stared at it but didn't notice any difference that they felt it was strange.
Could it be that they failed to successfully refine the strengthening potion because the taste of the ground herbs was different
The imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment.
"The medicinal powder we grind is different from that of Fourth Miss Tang."
Doctor Chen said helplessly.
Nanyang Hou thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This is probably the reason why you failed and my daughter succeeded, right?"
Tang Cheng's eyes lit up, and she thanked her father the Marquis for finding a perfect excuse for her.
Is this considered a coincidence
If everything were the same, the final failure in refining would definitely arouse suspicion.
Something a little different is more believable.
Tang Cheng felt that this was a pleasant surprise.
"What Dad said makes sense, so the reason you failed is that you are not different."
Tang Cheng climbed up the pole.
The imperial doctors fell silent and embarrassed after hearing what Marquis Nanyang said.
"Miss Tang Si, did you do it?" Doctor Chen asked with gritted teeth.
Tang Cheng pretended to be surprised and looked at Doctor Chen: "Didn't you see it?"
Imperial doctors: “…”
It was because of what they saw that they were confused. All of them had ground medicinal herbs into powder, but only Miss Tang's was different from the others.
It seems that only Miss Tang Si can make body-strengthening potions.
The emperor's mouth curled up and he felt a little happy.
The imperial doctors gathered together again to discuss the matter. The medicine in the jar was not yet ready, and the delicate Tang Cheng started to toss and turn again. She touched her abdomen and looked at the emperor with her beautiful almond eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm tired. Can I lie down and rest for a while?"
The emperor was very upset when he saw her little action.
"Can."
After getting the emperor's permission, Tang Cheng happily asked someone to bring the chaise longue where she had slept before. Then she lazily lay on the couch, eating fruit and enjoying the massage from the palace maid.
Everyone: “…”
The emperor, sitting alone in the chair, felt a toothache.
I didn't have any tea or snacks, and no palace maids to give me massages, but Tang Si enjoyed them all.
The emperor was in a bad mood.
Eunuch Fu thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly asked the eunuch to bring another larger and more comfortable couch, and then served better fruits and snacks, and called two palace maids with excellent skills to massage the emperor's legs.
The emperor's face suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny.
The imperial doctors were stunned when they saw this scene.
I didn't expect that the wise and powerful emperor would be so unreliable at times.
Is this Fourth Miss Tang poisonous
Time passed little by little, and soon the medicine in the jar was boiled. Tang Cheng very naturally instructed Doctor Chen to scoop up the residue.
Doctor Chen: “…”
After Doctor Chen fished out all the medicine residue, it was time for the final step, which would determine success or failure.
Everyone was excited and nervous.
Tang Cheng poured the medicine powder into the medicine jar and stirred it casually with a confident look on his face. Suddenly, Tang Cheng's expression changed.
The doctors who were good at observing people's expressions became nervous: "Fourth Miss Tang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Tang Cheng nodded seriously.
"I drank too much soup today, I need to go to the bathroom!"
emperor:"… "
Eunuch Fu: “…”
Imperial doctors: “…”
