Chapter 104 Lotus Leaf Cake

Speaking of which, in this palace, Zhao Jing is really considered to be under one person and above ten thousand people. Even the eunuch Yu, the eunuch, is aware of the monarch's love for her. She is really a favorite in his heart!Even though this eldest lady has been married for a few years now, the monarch still rewards her from time to time and sends people to visit her, for fear that she will have a bad life after getting married.

Zhao Jing said so, how dare eunuch Yu make her wait like that?He hurriedly helped her into the ear hall, tidied up the arhat bed and let her lean on the pillow, and ordered the servants to bring lotus leaf cakes filled with red dates and bean paste, which were shaped into lotus leaves in small pieces, green on the outside. The inside is red, and I personally mixed a cup of honey water for her.Only in this way can people be settled.

It took another half an hour for Zhao Mian to wake up, he had a rare deep sleep this morning, and he was in a good mood, when he heard his daughter came, he dragged his single clothes to the ear hall.

"Ah Weng!" Zhao Jing saw her father coming, put down the cup and got out of bed, stepped forward to hold Zhao Mian's arm and complained, "You can count, I'm so hungry!"

"Didn't eunuch Yu serve you food?" Zhao Mian sat with her on both ends of the Luohan bed with a smile on his lips.

Zhao Jing was just joking, she sat down with a smile on her face, and looked Zhao Mian up and down.Zhao Mian let her look calmly and calmly, but Zhao Jing sized her up and was secretly startled.

Ah Weng... is much older than before...

Zhao Mian was in his prime, and should be in full bloom, but at this moment, she saw that the other party was faintly depressed. Although his face was still clean and handsome, there were many fine lines at the corners of his eyes. Caught in white hair.Especially Zhao Mian's temples have already been spent.In particular, his skin is pale and lacks blood, and his eyes are black and blue, obviously because he has not had a good rest.

Zhao Jing burst into tears: "You...why do you have gray hair?"

When Zhao Mian saw her crying, he laughed helplessly.

"Recently, my headache has gotten worse. Maybe that's why my head turned gray." He glanced at his daughter gently, "You child, how can you keep crying when you're pregnant? I'm fine, don't cry."

Zhao Jing was not in a whimpering manner, she stopped crying after crying for a while, took a handkerchief from the maid and wiped her tears carefully.

She looked at Zhao Mian worriedly and said: "Your disease has never been rooted out, and it has become more serious. What can you do if you continue like this? What did the imperial medical officer say?"

Zhao Mian pushed the plate of lotus leaf cake towards her, shook his head and said, "What else can they say? It's nothing more than brewing medicine for me according to the prescription of dispelling head wind. It's time to get stronger."

Eunuch Yu stood aside, murmuring his mouth when he heard this, but did not dare to say anything.When the imperial medical officer gave the monarch a diagnosis, he listened all the time, and what the medical officer said was that this disease would affect the monarch's lifespan!In the end, only the three of them knew about such a big matter. If it wasn't for the fact that the medical officer's prescription was of some use, I'm afraid they would have to go home that day.It seems that the monarch does not intend to let the eldest lady know.

Zhao Jing also knew her father well, and I am afraid the actual situation was a little more serious than what he said.She couldn't help thinking of the box of powder in her sleeve pocket, and felt very hesitant.

It stands to reason that she has been looking for a cure for A Weng's headache everywhere, and she finally found Wuyou San, so she should have taken it out without hesitation... But now seeing A Weng so haggard, she became uneasy instead.Ah Weng's health is already so bad, Wuyou San is not a prescription after all, if it is harmful to Ah Weng, wouldn't she have harmed his father?

Such a smart person as Zhao Mian, immediately saw that Zhao Jingzang hadn't said anything, so he asked softly, "What are you thinking, and you're so dumbfounded while you're talking?"

To Zhao Jing, he has always been a majestic and trustworthy father. Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Zhao Jing was heartbroken, so she took out a palm-sized exquisite green sandalwood box from her sleeve pocket and put it on the square table superior.

"This is for you."

Zhao Mian frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to open the box, and saw that the inside was inlaid with porcelain, the powder in a box was compacted, and the pattern of a marigold was pressed, and there was a delicate small porcelain spoon embedded in the lid.

"What is this?" He looked up and asked his daughter.

Zhao Jing smiled and said: "I have been looking for good prescriptions for you. The Taoist priests on the Hechi Mountain in the south are good at making medicines. Yuan He heard that the powder they made can cure difficult and miscellaneous diseases, so he went to the south to ask. It really is good. They have a powder called Wuyou San, which is specially used to treat headaches." Afraid that Zhao Mian would not believe it, she hastily added, "I tried it on many people with headaches, and it was really effective, so I brought it here to see you !"

After speaking, he looked at him anxiously, fearing that his father would be in danger.

When Zhao Mian heard this, his expression was surprised for a while, but after a while he came back to his senses, he narrowed his eyes, picked up the small box and looked at it carefully.

"Worriless powder...is there any kind of medicinal material in it?" He said in a calm tone.

Zhao Jing took out a prescription from her bosom, which she could only get based on her status, and it was not complete, only a rough outline.She was also not afraid of Zhao Mian's misunderstanding, and it would be impossible to give medicine to the monarch at will if she changed someone else. Although she was somewhat selfish, she was doing it for her father's good, so she was not guilty!

After taking the powder, Zhao Mian scanned it and nodded: "It seems that the medicinal materials are similar to the doctor's prescription, I'm afraid there are some unique ones hidden... The powder you found is the same as that Hanshi powder ?”

If someone else listened to his words, he might have already gone down and knelt at this time.Zhao Jing was not afraid, but she was also a little worried, so she said: "It takes only a short time for my son to find someone to test the medicine. The effect of the medicine is naturally good, and one cures headache and the other treats typhoid fever. How is it the same? The only thing is the same. I'm not sure if this powder is as addictive as Hanshi powder... Or you can find a few people to test the medicine, and wait for ten and a half months, and then we can see."

After all, Zhao Mian treated her differently, and the suspicion in his heart was only for a moment.Her own daughter knows that she doesn't have to be married before, and she must have selfishness, but Zhao Jing's straight-forward temperament is there, and she will never change it.Even the Yuan family, he knew what they were thinking, and there was no need to murder his family...

Moreover, he has been suffering from head disease for a long time, if there is any hope of curing it, he must try it.

So he pondered for a moment, then ordered the eunuch Yu to pour a cup of white water.

Zhao Jing was delighted when she saw this, the medicine was indeed useful, but before she came, Yuan He also said that Ah Weng might not take it.At present, A Weng does not test the medicine, what does this mean?It means that A Weng still believes in her as before, and if she gets better after taking the medicine, she doesn't have to worry about A Weng's illness all the time.

A small spoon scooped up some medicinal powder, poured it into the white water and stirred it well, Zhao Mian raised his head and drank it all.

It will take some time for the medicine to take effect, so Zhao Jing thought of another matter, and after Zhao Mian finished rinsing her mouth, she said, "Ah, what are your plans for the third sister's marriage? She is already very old."

Zhao Mian wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and glanced at her: "Did she complain to you?"

Zhao Jing shook her head: "Don't you know Zhao Min's temperament? She has arrived at this moment, and she is still honestly waiting to be married... She can't guess what you have in mind, but she is still your daughter , my sister, you really want to see her miss the flowering period!"

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, for such a brat, paying a daughter to go in for nothing, is it worth it?

Most of the fathers in the world are the same, and they don't want their children to see themselves too badly or cruelly.In fact, Zhao Mian didn't care about his daughters or even his sons at all. He himself suffered a lot when he was a child, and the root cause was the unkindness of his parents.Zhao Jing is an exception. The so-called exception means that there is no one in a million.

He responded without sincerity: "Where do I want to delay your third sister's marriage? The decree has been issued several times in a row. There is either a war in Xiguan or busy border affairs. This time, Zhao Yuan directly refused the decree, saying that he did not want to marry You, third sister, tell me what to do."

Zhao Jing didn't know the news, and when she found out, she became even angrier.

She sneered, and said: "If you want me to say, Aunt, you value Zhao Chen and his son too much! I have also heard about the Xiguan War, but how many people can there be in a mere frontier tribe? Drinking offerings to Xiguan Daying, until now, never said that the dog army was destroyed, but let others establish a country, it can be seen that they are all excuses! Maybe, they are used to being the masters there, and they don’t want to come back and be shackled! "

The words were full of anger, and when Zhao Mian heard it, he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "Didn't you only admire Zhao Chen in the past, and if others say no to him, you will have to wave the whip. Today is this What's wrong?"

Zhao Jing said bluntly: "I used to admire the great general, so naturally I only saw his good things, but that is also a thing of the past, there is no reason why he doesn't like it, but my son keeps thinking about it...neither good nor bad. Didn’t you just come out? The third sister and my son are good friends, they have made it clear that they don’t care about the third sister’s life, and now they have repeatedly rejected the order and don’t take you seriously, why should my son speak well of him?”

The eunuch Yu who was standing next to him was already terrified, and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, standing like a tree stump, but he was sweating coldly for Zhao Chen and his son.

It is said that the Son of Heaven has no true feelings, which is reasonable after all.Don't look at the fact that His Majesty and the Great General shared weal and woe in the past, and there was a bit of father-brother affection besides monarchs and ministers. In front of the monarchy, it is nothing!And all these years, the two monarchs and ministers have gradually lost their hearts because of the Zhao family boy, and now they are about to turn their faces. The eldest lady is adding fuel and jealousy, because she is afraid that it is not too early to turn her face!

He looked up at Zhao Mian calmly, and saw that the other side's face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was thinking about Zhao Jing's little daughter, but judging from his understanding of His Majesty, he was obviously unhappy.

I just don't know whether this displeasure is directed at the eldest lady...or at the general and his son.

Zhao Jing didn't really go all the way to the end, and brought up Zhao Chen's remarks, but in order to fight for the impeachment of Ri Yuanhe's grandfather after a while, she didn't really expect to pull Zhao Chen down.At this time, seeing his father smiled and said nothing, he didn't dare to mention it again, and instead asked: "Ah Weng, it seems that the effect of the medicine should be effective, but do you feel it?"

Zhao Mian supported his forehead, closed his eyes slightly and said, "My head is also a little dizzy, if I feel tired."

Zhao Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly signaled eunuch Yu to come over: "Quick, now that you feel drowsy, go and have a good sleep, it's more effective than anything else!"
