Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

New Year's Eve is approaching thirty.

Court officials also began to visit relatives and friends, and the intersections of various prefectures continued one after another.

The Xia Mansion was supposed to stay behind closed doors, but at this time the door was open.

Xia Bai'an went to various mansions alone in the name of a fourth-rank imperial physician, but on the pretext that Captain Mo Che was not in the capital and thanked everyone for his promotion, he went to various mansions to give gifts, and even had a little chat with the female relatives of each family.

Although some people always look down on her origin, there are also some bright-minded people who praise her.

Congratulatory gifts were sent out like flowing water, and the Xia Mansion was also cleaned up.

Mo Xue would sit by the warm basin and frown, and impatiently throw away the account books: "I can't make ends meet, don't we only rely on the income from the opening of Chenxiang Pavilion and Tongjitang in spring?"

Whenever Mo Qian and Mo Yu saw her get angry, they would keep silent and dare not move.

Even Qian Mingshu shut up, curling his neck and warming himself by the fire without saying a word.

Xia Bai'an couldn't swallow his saliva even more, so he laughed dryly: "You will always make money back, so opening up a little relationship now is also for the long-term plan."

"There should be a limit in the long run! There are also a lot of expenses in spring, how can I fill it!"

"I still have a share of the commercial roads between Qingshan Town and the capital city. Now I have it in my hands, at least hundreds or thousands of taels. The medicinal materials of Tongjitang have been prepared, and the opening of the business is to earn back money. As long as there is [-]% of the profit, it will Don't be afraid to eat and ruin the whole family." Xia Bai'an said with certainty...

Then, Mo Xue was so angry that he kicked her out.

Xia Bai'an stood at the bottom of the wall outside the door, seeing Wu Yue leaning here, and asked her, "You were kicked out too?"

May rubbed her nose: "I just said one thing."

Xia Bai'an narrowed his eyes slightly: "What did you say about Xue'er?"

Wu Yue's face was full of innocence: "I said she had a childish temper and pretended to be an adult, so she gritted her teeth and asked me to come out."

"..."

You can still speak as always.

Xia Bai'an sighed, rubbed her slightly itchy arm that was growing flesh, and Wu Yue knocked her hand off with a snap: "Your child, you can't pick it when you are hurt and itchy."

"..."

Who has the final say in this mansion now!

Xia Bai'an wanted to refute, but what the other party said was too reasonable, so she gave Wu Yue a hard look, and decided to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"Ma'am!" At the gate of the courtyard, a servant girl hurried over.

"Don't worry, what's the matter?" Xia Bai'an stopped.

"The palace sent someone to say that the Empress Dowager lost her temper because she didn't take the medicine. They called you by name and asked you to come over and get a pulse check, and coax you by the way."

What a wayward queen.

However, with the status of the Queen Mother, he specially sent someone to invite him, and he had no right to refuse.

Moreover, Xia Bai'an was anxious to find a backer for himself, and by the way, find out the truth about Chi Zhuang, to see if he could dig out some of Yunxue's handle from Xia Yuan'an Mei's mouth.

It seems good to find a queen mother to rely on.

She had no choice but to dress up specially, carried her small medicine box, and rushed to the palace with the newly issued waist badge and seal of the imperial physician, and went to the empress dowager's bedroom to have a good pulse diagnosis.

"The empress dowager is all right."

She said this sentence blankly, wishing to keep the pulse that she just took in her heart and savor it carefully.

In just a few days, the loss of the Queen Mother's body has almost been made up, and she is also a strange person.

The eunuch next to the emperor rolled his eyes: "Then why can't the empress dowager drink these soups? Doctor Xia, please don't..."

The eunuch babbled on and on.

Xia Baian put his left ear in and his right ear out, while he glanced at the medicinal ingredients in the soup, he also looked at some medicinal foods on the table.

Good guy, are they all suffering?

Moreover, this is too nourishing, even pregnant women who are deficient in qi and blood don't have this kind of supplementation.

Xia Bai'an wiped off his sweat secretly, thinking that the group of imperial physicians hadn't healed for two days and wanted to claim credit for their death on the medicinal materials, but she couldn't break it directly, so by taking the pulse, she sneaked to the bedside to ask the Queen Mother.

"Did the empress dowager realize that the tonic is too much?"

Through a thin curtain, the Empress Dowager only said coldly: "It's too bitter."

"..."

Sure enough, she is a willful queen mother.

Xia Bai'an thought about these things, whether he eats them or not is harmless anyway, so he had to tell the eunuchs beside the emperor.

"There is nothing different about these medicinal diets and decoctions. It's just that the Empress Dowager is old, so it's not easy to eat too much and it's too bitter. After all, the medicine is three-point poisonous. Over time, the toxins accumulate in the chest cavity, and it is difficult to breathe. The Empress Dowager just feels uncomfortable. .As long as these are removed, eat and drink as usual for two days, the toxins will be cleaned up along the internal organs, and everything will be fine."

After listening, the eunuch sweated profusely and asked the eunuchs behind him to take notes, and then left.

Xia Bai'an sent off the people around the emperor, turned around, and saw that the queen mother had already lifted the curtain, and gave her a cold look.

"you can go now."

"Oh yes."

Xia Bai'an quickly got up from the ground, and after saluting, he carried the medicine box and left, walking very freely.

Seeing this, the mother next to the queen mother laughed twice, quietly took a piece of jade pendant, and gave it to Xia Bai'an in front of the door: "The queen mother asked you to enter the palace once for no reason, so naturally she won't treat you poorly."

Xia Bai'an saw that the jade pendant didn't say a thousand taels, but she just helped to say a few words.

Out of emotion and reason, she shouldn't take this thing.

So she cupped her hands slightly: "I don't get rewarded for meritorious service, and I am also regarded as an imperial physician. It is my duty to enter the palace to ask for pulse. This kind of high-quality Hetian jade is just right to be placed next to the empress dowager's pillow to soothe the nerves." use."

After finishing speaking, she sauntered away with the maid who led the way.

The nanny brought the jade pendant back to the Empress Dowager's bedside, but the Empress Dowager just sneered: "It's a very important one...in the future, it can be used."

"Let's take a look again. Let's not talk about the temperament of this captain's wife, her husband, Captain Mo Che, is from Taiwei Sun's side." Mammy reminded.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned and nodded: "Listen to you, and then take a look."

……

Xia Bai'an looked at the words "Millennium Hall" on the plaque in front of him, his eyes were full of confusion.

"Girl, I'm leaving the palace, why did you bring me to the Millennium Palace?"

"Concubine Degui heard that Imperial Physician Xia finally came to the palace, and specially invited you to come here, hoping that Imperial Physician Xia can take a pulse and take a look at your body."

The palace maid lowered her head, her eyes wandered, she didn't dare to look at Xia Bai'an at all.

Concubine De Gui?

Xia Bai'an had vaguely heard this name before.

But such a high-ranking imperial concubine whom she doesn't know, why did she ask a little imperial doctor to come over?

She didn't understand, but had to go.

Xia Bai'an stepped into the Millennium Store bravely, and did not see Concubine Degui, but heard a charming and charming chuckle.

This laughter is so gentle.

Xia Bai'an thought about it, and hurriedly cupped his hands in salute: "My minister Xia Bai'an, I have met the noble concubine."

"Kneel down." Concubine Degui said from behind the screen, her voice suddenly became cold, "I don't like people in the countryside standing and talking."

"..."

Xia Bai'an was speechless, was the gentle laughter just now an illusion!
