The emperor's concubine was able to purchase so-so food in the two months simply because the emperor knew many plants and trees in the nearby forest, and relied on his previous hunting experience to capture some rabbits and muntjacs.
At that time, the emperor sprained his foot and had difficulty moving. Yun Fenghuang was naturally tasked with finding food.
Even if she grew up in the north, most of the flowers, plants and trees in Qishan would not be known to her. For example, she would not be allowed to be taught by the emperor.
Originally, the emperor didn't pay attention when Yun Fenghuang brought up the matter. Although he always felt that the concubine was cunning, he also admitted that she was a smart and astute person who could just point out her thoughts - it was not difficult in the first place. After all, she had grown up. The nearby mountain folk children who don't know a single Chinese character can say "yes" or "no" to the boss
It turned out that he spent a long time explaining it. Yun Fenghuang nodded repeatedly and suddenly realized that he had indeed brought back a lot of things after going out for a while. But he had sharp eyes and snatched a plant in time, almost letting her throw the poisonous weed into the bonfire as insect repellent and kill the two of them.
The emperor noticed this and checked them one by one. He almost laughed in anger: in that large handful, except for poisonous weeds, there were no weeds, and the only ones that were really edible were two or three wild vegetables, not to mention the ones with the worst taste. Can you perfectly avoid the categories that he earnestly urged you to pick
"Ruthless concubine, I didn't make it clear just now." After all, the emperor was kind-hearted. After calming down, he didn't get angry. He called the concubine to his side with a look of "how is he good or not? I beg you to praise him." He carefully analyzed the fallacies for her, and even asked her to go out and break a branch, and draw some of the most common wild vegetables and herbs on the ground, which are found at the entrance of the cave, "I rest." Dong, let’s go look for it later.”
Yun Fenghuang looked at it solemnly and nodded, patting his chest to ensure that he would definitely live up to his expectations... As for Emperor Ruming, he would not believe her. Just half of it is edible.
However, after a while, there was another batch of poisonous weeds, weeds and things that the emperor didn't know if they could eat. The emperor was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "Did Mrs. Qi think of me back then?"
"...Is it because Mrs. Qi doesn't need me to look for food in the wild?" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while and answered tentatively.
When he failed to insert the knife but was stabbed, the emperor took a deep breath: "That's it, help me out!"
Yun Fenghuang knew that he was in the wrong, and he helped him very quickly and attentively, but he was a little unconvinced. He muttered: "Can you blame me? I can't recognize strange flowers and rare herbs if my fingers are not wet with spring water." That's all, why should you pay attention to the flowers, plants and trees that can be seen everywhere in the mountains and wild places? From my perspective, they all look similar... shouldn't the medicinal effects also be similar?"
"What's the same?" the emperor yelled angrily, "The grass in the fire I just wanted to set on fire is extremely poisonous. If livestock accidentally eats it, they will die in a moment! What I asked me to find is Cordyceps, and it will be fine to eat. Needless to say, it has the effect of clearing away silt and relieving fever... Although the two look slightly similar, they can be distinguished with a little observation. I... "
He was angry, and Yun Fenghuang was even more angry: "Grapes and lychees are slightly similar in appearance, but they can be distinguished at a glance, but don't they both taste sweet! Then it's simply because those two grasses don't learn well and grow It’s so flashy that it makes people dizzy, how can you blame me?!”
emperor:"… "
Yun Fenghuang said confidently: "Bidong did not say that the grass is good, but instead said that my body is good. Could it be that in Bidong's heart, my body is not as good as a piece of grass?!"
The emperor said melancholy: "What a ruthless concubine."
Yun Fenghuang said: "I am here."
"Can I shut up?" The emperor was very tired now and did not want to accept her nonsense at all.
Yun Fenghuang kept silent in displeasure, and then helped the emperor to collect some wild fruits, vegetables and weeds outside. The stupid rabbit became fat after being beaten for a long time. After returning to the cave, he started to deal with it under the instructions of the emperor. , she couldn't help it anymore, and while struggling to choose the dishes, she asked puzzledly: "How could Bidong know so much about those wild things?"
It's unusual to see whether you are familiar with it.
I'm afraid only the mountain people who have lived nearby can do it with ease.
"Don't you tell me?" the emperor said lazily, "When I was in Fuyang County, I often went out to observe the people's sentiments? When I came to the Imperial Capital, I would hunt with the guards every year to gain some experience."
"Can Bidong accumulate that kind of experience for something?" Yun Fenghuang asked puzzledly, "Bidong is the Nine-Five Supreme Being. Even if he is in the wilderness, there are still people to take care of him. Why bother to memorize those things personally?"
The emperor looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you think you don't want me to serve you?"
The question is: Can I serve me
I should be thankful that I didn't let you serve me in turn!
Yun Fenghuang pretended not to hear, covered his mouth and smiled: "Did Dong Bi often go out when he was in Fuyang County? This is really strange to me."
The emperor muttered: "As a vassal king, it is reasonable to show sympathy for the common people. Why is it so strange? Could it be that the ruthless concubine thinks that I am the kind of foolish king who doesn't know how to distinguish rice from rice?"
"Where did Bidong go?" Yun Fenghuang asked casually, "Have you ever heard that Bidong and Yue Jieyu were childhood sweethearts? Yue Jieyu was raised with Bidong in front of her loving mother, the Empress Dowager, when she was young. They always go in and out together. However, Yue Jieyu doesn't see the slightest intention of going to the countryside often, so she wonders if Bidong can stay in the palace all day without going out."
"Do I belong to Fuyang County?" The emperor looked at her alertly and saw that she was struggling with wild vegetables with her head lowered. She seemed to be chatting casually, so he said softly, "Although Ms. Melia is in Fuyang, she can still be counted. She has a distinguished status, and her mother dotes on her very much. It is difficult for her to be in public even if she is a little older, let alone practicing bow and horse like me, and going hunting with my father and brother."
Yun Fenghuang thought to himself that the guy seemed to have inquired about him carefully enough, and even knew about things like participating in hunting.
She didn't care. Instead, she raised her head and smiled at the emperor: "Then, will you take me with you when you go hunting? You know, I won't drag you down!"
The implication is that we don't want to take Mother Yuan with us because she is just a burden.
The emperor was a little dumbfounded when he heard this: "Can't I just be in peace?"
How long have you been away from the pursuit? How long have you been seeking promotion, seeking benefits for your parents' family, and trying to suppress other concubines... Well, after all, a concubine is only fifteen years old, and young people are always energetic.
The emperor decided not to meet her in the same way, "Ruming doesn't know what's going on over there in the palace. Do I have the heart to think about hunting?"
"What are you afraid of when Bidong is there?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Bidong didn't answer me at all. Do you want to take me with you when hunting? Let's talk about it first. Even if Bidong doesn't take me with me, I will still be on my own. I also want to go out and play. Those confinement confinements in the palace are tight, and they are just waiting to get to the palace to have a rest and relax."
If I don’t take me with me, I might have a private meeting with Qi Jiulu in the forest or something...
"Nonsense!" the emperor yelled, "How can I be a concubine like that? There is no dignity and reserve at all!"
Yun Fenghuang said confidently: "How come I am not dignified or reserved in front of others? Isn't it in front of Bidong? Why is it that I treat Bidong with sincerity, which is good? Then what does Bidong like, concubine? I promise that I will act for Bidong from now on. Even if I can't learn it for the time being, I will go find an actor and work hard to learn it! After all, I like Bidong the most!"
"..." The emperor was quite speechless, "Forget it, if I go hunting, just take him with me, okay?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang's beaming expression of gratitude, he couldn't help but sigh, "I will never touch you..."
I'll give it a try with a more violent-tempered emperor!
"It shows that I am blessed with great blessings." But Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to thank him. Instead, he said happily, "You deserve to enjoy the glory and wealth!"
The emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly took out a few wild vegetables from a pile of wild vegetables: "Concubine Wu lived outside for two months, and her skin became much rougher. That... Well, I heard that it can nourish yin and nourish the skin. I will give it to Concubine Wu later." stop."
Then Yun Fenghuang happily took away the meal. After a while, she finally finished the dinner. She took one bite and felt bad all over: "Your Majesty, your Majesty! Why are you so miserable?!"
"It's normal." The emperor was in a good mood, rubbing the barbecue with a sour wild fruit and smiling, "Good medicine tastes bitter."
Seeing the concubine looking at him with suspicion, he said slowly, "If Concubine Hun can't bear it, please don't give it to me?"
"Okay!" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and gave him a few leaves of grass that he had not touched. Seeing that the emperor's expression remained unchanged and he could even say he was eating leisurely, without any reluctance, he went to take the leftovers. He took it back and said, "After all, it's not Bidong's wish. Is there anything I can't bear?"
Well, the emperor himself ate it, so there must be some benefit...
Yun Fenghuang thought so, and swallowed the "Emperor's Will" with great bitterness and hatred. The herb that Emperor Zhi Tua said he didn't even know its scientific name but knew its efficacy was simply a damn good medicine. It tasted so bitter. After Yun Fenghuang finished eating, he took several bites of roasted rabbit, and chewed some sweet vines for a long time. Before going to bed, his mouth was still full of bitterness!
Toji will never eat again!
Anyway, I am so beautiful and young. I will definitely be able to take care of myself when I go back to the palace and have a good life!
Yun Fenghuang swore so.
But when I woke up the next month, I saw that the back of my legs were not as tender as when I was pampered. After thinking about it for a while, I took the initiative to ask: "Bidong, are there many herbs that nourish yin and nourish the skin like yesterday?"
The emperor looked at her in surprise: "Don't you think it's hard for the ruthless concubine?"
"No, it's bitter." Yun Fenghuang said with sincerity and affectionate expression, "But no, Bhidong is so considerate to me. I feel the bitterness in my mouth, but the sweetness in my heart!"
I'm sorry that my bastard dragged me to live in the wilderness, so that my beauty was damaged, and I had to suffer that!
"Then I'll find more for me later?" The emperor remained calm and turned his head to make sure she couldn't see the place before grinning silently. For two days since he came to the east, the emperor had been very enthusiastic about finding her. A lot of those herbs became more bitter and unpalatable every time, so much so that Yun Fenghuang was in a daze: "Bidong, Mr. Deng, they didn't come here? They probably didn't ask you, right?" ?”
Emperor: "... Concubine Hen, calm down. I have almost recovered. If they don't come in another two months, we can find our own way out."
Coco Zaitian also felt that the imperial concubine had been tortured enough during that period. The next month, the two of them were supporting each other to find food in the forest, and they heard the sound of shouting from the distance!
"Your Majesty, I would like to reward Young Master Deng and his team with coptis water for ten days, no, one month, no, three months. What do you think?!" After half a month, the two of them finally went to the soft place where they could use local materials. On the sedan chair, Yun Fenghuang pulled the emperor's leg in front of the sedan chair and begged through gritted teeth, "Boil ten pounds of coptis into a bowl, no, a small pot!"
