His Majesty is a sick beauty
Chapter 52 Cotton and Pepper
=======================
Not long after, several young eunuchs came in carrying a small box and a green plant.
Su Xun patted Xiao Buwen's arm, motioning him to put himself down.
Xiao Buwen put away the towel, followed behind Su Xun, and observed the green plants as tall as half a person with him.
The plant was planted in a yellow-brown porcelain pot, with thin branches and oval leaves. There were two finger-sized brown "fruits" in the gap between the leaves. The upper end of the fruit was cracked, revealing the cotton-like snow-white inside Inner core.
This... isn't this cotton?
Su Xun looked at the cotton in the "fruit" in surprise, and couldn't help picking one off. After peeling it off, he took out the cotton wool and rubbed it. It was really soft and light.
"How much did King Qin bring back?" Su Xun asked quickly.
"There should be a list, I will look for it." Xiao Buwen took out a gift list and scanned it up and down, "There are a hundred pots of white flowers."
"Is there a craftsman who knows how to grow this thing?"
"It's not written on the gift list." Xiao Buwen wondered, "Could it be that this thing is not just for viewing?"
"Of course." Su Xun gave the cotton wool in his hand to Eunuch Xiao, "This thing can be used to make clothes and quilts. It is more comfortable and warm than linen, cheaper and more durable than silk and satin!"
"make clothes?"
Xiao Buwen held the little white cotton wool, but couldn't imagine how to make it into clothes.
"Of course, in addition to cotton wool that can be used to make clothes, leaf veins and wrappers can also be used as honey sources, and seeds can also be used to extract oil." There are quite a lot of by-products of cotton, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole body is treasured.
Xiao Buwen noticed a term he hadn't heard before: "Cotton?"
"...cough, I slipped my tongue for a while, don't you think the flowers are very dense and white?"
"Oh——" Xiao Buwen gave Su Xun a meaningful look, "This name is more appropriate than Baihua." Baihua sounds too casual.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Isn't there another kind of medicinal material? Is it in this box? Open it and have a look."
Hearing the little emperor's stiff change of subject, Xiao Buwen didn't say anything, and followed to the box.
The commercial route with the Western Regions was opened less than half a year ago, and Su Xun was already very satisfied with the acquisition of cotton, an important cash crop.Before opening the box, he thought that even if there were useless weeds inside, this trip would be worth it.
But when the little eunuch opened the box, what was inside completely surprised him.
Inside the box are piles of shriveled long strips of fruit. The fruit is bright red with green dry leaves at the end. When the box is opened, there is a strong spicy smell.
Xiao Buwen frowned and covered Su Xun's mouth and nose, while pulling him back, he scolded: "How many times have I told you, don't send this kind of spicy food to Your Majesty!"
"Wait." Seeing that the little eunuchs were about to take away the box of peppers and destroy them, Su Xun said hastily, "Don't take it away, put it here!"
"Has your majesty forgotten how bitter the medicine you drank before?"
"...Of course I won't forget."
"Then His Majesty should consciously stay away from these irritants."
"Wait, the national teacher said that the reason why I was sick was because of my cold and weak body? Didn't you see that King Qin wrote in the memorial that this thing can drive away the cold?"
God knows that he hasn't tasted spicy food for half a year, and he didn't think much about it at first, but just now he smelled such a delicious chili flavor, and now he is hooked.If he can't eat this anymore, he will definitely be able to drool for several days while hugging the quilt at night.
Xiao Buwen was speechless: "That's what the barbarians in the Western Regions said. I also heard that the barbarians in some places believe that eating cow dung can cure all diseases. Will you get some for Your Majesty?"
Stir-Fried Peppers with Cow Dung...
Su Xun was so disgusted by his own imagination that he retched a bit, thinking that the place that Eunuch Xiao said would most likely be the India of later generations. Any disease can be cured with cow dung and urine. This is really a nation that I can't understand.
Although I occasionally have a cough problem, it is not a throat problem, but caused by cold and damp accumulation in the body, coupled with perennial physical weakness.Chili can indeed dispel cold and dampness and relieve his symptoms. It can not only cure diseases, but also relieve cravings. Why not do it?
"But I want to eat."
Su Xun said foolishly: "If I can't eat what I want, I won't think about food and drink, and if I don't think about food and drink, there will be problems with my body."
Xiao Buwen was helpless: "Your Majesty, don't be childish."
"I'm not childish, I'm serious." Su Xun said angrily, "I'm the Son of Heaven, can't I eat what I want?"
The life of the emperor who was emptied was really too painful!
Xiao Buwen could tell what Su Xun was thinking just by looking at Su Xun's expression, and he thought it was still painful. During the time when His Majesty was taboo, what kind of food he could eat was not made for him in a variety of ways, just to make him sick Time to have an appetite.
Eunuch Xiao is a lucky person who obeys His Majesty's words. He is a treacherous minister who will steal snacks from outside the palace when His Majesty is jealous. Even if he wants to stop the little emperor, he will never let himself be a villain, so he deliberately moved the national teacher out: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, of course you can eat whatever you want, even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow. As long as your majesty gives an order, the servant will solve it for your majesty even if he is so heartless."
"But Your Majesty, it is useless for a slave to agree to this matter. The national teacher has to check His Majesty's pulse case every day."
It means that if it is really harmful to your body, the national teacher will be able to see the problem from the pulse case the next day, and then he will kill you in the palace.
"..."
Su Xun's mouth was full of bitterness when he thought about how the national teacher added more ingredients to his medicine after he didn't listen to the teacher's words last time and caused physical problems.
"Uh...it is indeed." As soon as Su Xun heard about the national teacher, Su Xun was timid, and did not pretend to be pitiful that "you all bully me", "Then, is it okay to call the national teacher over and ask?"
Looking at the little emperor's cautious eyes, Xiao Buwen raised his forehead: "Your Majesty really wants to eat that much?"
Before that, Qinghe lived in the palace all the time, that is to say, after the little emperor got well, Qinghe, as a national teacher, was busy with other affairs, so he left the palace and returned to Qingming Palace. He looked reluctant, but whether it was Qinghe or Xiao Buwen, they could tell that the little emperor was so happy that he almost set off some firecrackers to celebrate.
This time, in order to eat some of the red fruit, he even had the idea of calling the national teacher Qinghe back to the palace.
Xiao Buwen was amazed, and thought that His Majesty is really, sometimes he looks easy to talk, and sometimes he is extremely persistent in what he believes.It was the same when the aristocratic family was asked to grow miscellaneous grains during the drought, and now it is the same when they want to eat red fruits.
Xiao Buwen thought to himself, I can't persuade His Majesty anymore, I'd better see you, the national teacher.
Then he looked at the little emperor with a smile on his face: "The servant will invite the national teacher right away."
"Is this what His Majesty wants to eat?"
Qing He pinched a shriveled red fruit with two slender fingers, and asked.
"Yeah." Su Xun nodded, and sat obediently on the chair opposite Qinghe, "I think eating less is good for your health."
Qinghe raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Buwen.
"It was sent by the King of Qin." I am not the lucky one this time.
Qinghe understood, did Eunuch Xiao want him to be this villain?
"Eunuch Xiao should also persuade His Majesty."
"The servants have grown up in the palace since they were young, and have never learned how to reject nobles."
"But Eunuch Xiao is someone close to His Majesty, so naturally he should think about His Majesty's body. Could it be that Eunuch Xiao allows His Majesty to hurt his body because he is afraid of being punished by His Majesty?"
"Ahem, this is what I asked for, and it has nothing to do with Eunuch Xiao."
Xiao Buwen grinned triumphantly.
Qinghe: "..."
He shook his head, thinking that outsiders said that Eunuch Xiao and the prime minister coerced the emperor to order the officials, and that the little emperor grew up under the shadow of the two since he was a child, but the world never thought that without the connivance of his majesty, Xiao Buwen would not have survived. How can an eunuch of any background compare with a prime minister from Murong's family?
Gein, Xiao Buwen's biggest background is the little emperor, without the little emperor's connivance or preference, how could Xiao Buwen have the ability to fight with all the powerful officials?
This ability to please His Majesty is really unbearable.
Qinghe didn't get involved with these people's petty thoughts of fighting for power and profit: "Your Majesty stretches out his hand first, and I will give you His Majesty's pulse."
The little emperor stretched out his hand obediently, and Qinghe placed his finger on Su Xun's wrist, feeling the pulsation on the belly of his finger, and nodded: "Compared to when I left the palace, your majesty's health is better."
Although Su Xun's daily safety pulse, and even his eating and sleeping conditions would be delivered to the Qingming Palace verbatim, Qinghe still asked patiently: "Your Majesty has not been eating well recently, how is your sleeping condition?"
Su Xun answered all of them.
It was no different from the information he handed over. Qinghe said with satisfaction: "A good appetite is a good thing. Your Majesty is recovering. It is normal to eat a lot. As long as you don't eat too much, or eat too late to affect your sleep, there is no problem. Your Majesty's health The weight is still a little thin compared to ordinary people, and it doesn’t hurt to grow some flesh.”
A single illness can instantly consume all the fat that Su Xun has raised for several months. It is not fat, but a life-saving thing when he is sick.
Qinghe picked up the red fruit from before, bit off a small bit and chewed carefully, then took out a clean small handkerchief, covered his mouth and spit it out on it.
Su Xun looked at Qinghe expectantly.
"Your Majesty's eyes are too affectionate. A minister who is a cultivator must be pure-hearted and ascetic. Your Majesty should go back to the harem and look at the empress like this."
I was molested?
Su Xun looked at Qinghe in disbelief.
"Well, it is indeed a medicinal material for dispelling cold and dampness. It is harmless to His Majesty to eat a small amount." Qing He said quickly before Su Xun opened his mouth, "But don't eat too much, or it will hurt your throat."
"Great!"
"I want to eat hot pot!"
"Hot pot?" Qinghe blinked.
Su Xun couldn't help explaining to the two what hot pot is.
"Sounds good." Qinghe nodded, "I wonder if I'm lucky enough to be rewarded by His Majesty and have a meal with His Majesty?"
Su Xun waved his hand generously: "No problem, hot pot needs more people to enjoy it."
"Well, the national teacher is here, and Eunuch Xiao is also here, and then call the prime minister..." Su Xun counted the "friends" he met after coming to Yu Dynasty with his fingers, "It's a pity that Zheng Xi and Conan have arrived in Yangcheng."
"Hey, forget it, there are not many suitable positions available for them in the central government of the Yu Dynasty. It's better to go to Yangcheng to learn to manage the affairs of a city. It will be beneficial and harmless to the future career. It’s a painstaking effort to recommend in front of me.”
Qinghe and Xiao Buwen: "..."
"The national teacher, Eunuch Xiao and the prime minister... By the way, let's call the queen, and we will have a meal together as a celebration of the Yu Dynasty successfully surviving the famine!"

"...cough, I slipped my tongue for a while, don't you think the flowers are very dense and white?"
"Oh——" Xiao Buwen gave Su Xun a meaningful look, "This name is more appropriate than Baihua." Baihua sounds too casual.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now. Isn't there another kind of medicinal material? Is it in this box? Open it and have a look."
