Chapter 61 Experience Life
This night, after Prince Yi returned to the mansion, it was already the third watch.
He went straight into the main courtyard with a bit of drunkenness, and as soon as he entered, he saw Fujin making a hat for him under the lamp.
Seeing that the prince obviously brought wine in, Thirteen Fujin was also a little surprised: "Didn't the emperor call you away suddenly because he had something important to do? Why did you come back after drinking?" while sending someone to fetch hot water for Shi Sanye face, while pushing the Thirteenth Lord who had already collapsed on the south window kang: "Why do you still drink like this in front of the emperor? Isn't the emperor the least fond of courtiers who drink too much?"
The Thirteenth Master muttered, "Brother Huang told me to drink it."
After wiping his face and gaining some energy, the Thirteenth Master said to Fujin while drinking the walnut and pine nut oil tea brought by Fujin: "It's a strange thing to enter the palace today. Don't talk about it outside."
Thirteen Fujin sucked the needle to the magnet in the needle and thread basket next to it to ensure that the needle would not run around, and then sat down to listen to novelty, which shows that human beings are inherently curious cats and cats.
The Thirteenth Lord told how the emperor called him to the palace on purpose, why he said that he wanted to name the child Minmin but actually there is no child, etc., and so on. Damn, I didn't expect such a direction at all, Thirteenth Master was satisfied: Sure enough, it's not my problem to be shocked.
"I've never seen Brother Huang like this. There is no shadow, but the plan is right."
Thirteenth Lord had some wine after all, so he washed up and went to sleep, but Thirteenth Fujin didn't feel sleepy yet.Is the emperor so looking forward to the child of the concubine Xin? He has already planned for her in advance.
In a blink of an eye, it's late spring and early summer again.
In this coming spring, in addition to harvesting the first flowers in the backyard, Jiang Heng finally ate, and ate enough of the braised bamboo shoots that he had been thinking about last year.
When I first entered the palace last year and learned the rules in Chuxiu Palace, one day Mrs. Guo had such a stewed bamboo shoot in front of me.
At first Jiang Heng just wanted to eat it a little bit, but after looking forward to it for a few days without eating it, he became a little bit obsessed with it.It's a pity that when she leaves Chuxiu Palace and can be the host of the table by herself, the fresh bamboo shoots will pass away.
The regrets of last spring have finally been made up this spring.
Although there are many dining rooms in the palace, there are also many masters from top to bottom.Therefore, it is impossible for the dining room to provide everyone with fashionable and delicious stir-fries. Many tables only have standard dishes, like modern cooking buns. It looks good and meets the standard, but they are all Thousands of steamed and stewed.When it comes to the table, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this dish, but it is by no means delicious.
Jiang Heng thought, in fact, it is very real that everyone in the palace wants to go up, or wants to keep their current status.
In the novel, it is full of wind, flowers, snow and moon, and a year and a half have passed in a flash.But in reality, it was really a meal, a day and a night.
One can get along without eating and sleeping well for a day, but if the living environment is always rough and unbearable, people will be boiled and withered.
Sometimes a delicacy that can be eaten as much as you want, a peaceful and comfortable sleep, and a beautiful new dress represent not only the material itself, but an emotional value, an unspeakable happiness, and a good life. living proof.
There has always been a saying in the north: wheat is planted in front in April, and wheat in May is planted behind.
The calculation of the lunar calendar contains the civilization and wisdom of farming for thousands of years.This year happened to be April Ears, and the wheat was harvested early.
Today's planting industry is not as blessed by various technologies as it is in modern times. Whether the annual wheat harvest can survive safely is really a major issue related to the people's livelihood in the world.
At this time, not to mention the people who rely on the fields for a year's livelihood, the court ministries are also worried, often suffer from insomnia, and the Qin Tianjian even has dark circles under his eyes, repeatedly begging for a good sky, and don't ruin it at the last critical moment. The painstaking efforts of the farmers.
Of course, the emperor is also concerned about this matter, and he must set an example.
In the past, the emperor's example was nothing more than offering sacrifices and praying for blessings. This year, the emperor added an additional content.
"Harvest the wheat yourself?" The queen was very surprised when she heard about the emperor's plan.
In the first month, it is an old custom for the emperor to plow and sow the seeds in person, just as the empress also performed the solemn sacrifice of the silkworm ceremony, six su and three kneelings, which all represent the empress's importance to agriculture and mulberry.
But there is really no old practice of the emperor personally harvesting wheat.
The queen originally wanted to say: "Long Live Lord, can you farm the land?" She retracted the words.
When she thought about it, the emperor really knew how to do it!
Every year in the first lunar month, the Son of Heaven personally sows the seeds.Perhaps for many emperors, it was just a show, but starting from Lord Kangxi, he really wanted to take his sons to the ground.Not to mention that the sons of Lord Kangxi are all kings of scrolls, and everyone rolled up for the throne, until the end of their lives.
That's really better than others in farming!
After the queen was surprised, she obediently listened to the emperor's arrangement: there is no need for it to go wrong, anyway, the emperor went by himself, and he didn't drag her, the queen, to farm. If you want to work, you can do it.
The harem quickly spread the news.
Yonghe Palace was no exception, Qiuxue hurriedly came to talk about it with Jiang Heng.
"The emperor is going to take the three elder brothers to the Old Summer Palace, saying that he will stop their classes for ten days to harvest wheat!" The Old Summer Palace has two acres of wheat fields, which were brought by Emperor Kangxi when he gave the Old Summer Palace to his fourth son Yinzhen. Yes, it is said that if you are a child of the royal family, even if you live in a summer garden, don't forget the importance of mulberry farmers.
Therefore, these two acres of land have been well preserved, and the surrounding areas are all in the shape of ordinary villages, with a few mud-tiled houses remaining, which are also a scene of the Old Summer Palace.
This is a good time to make the best use of everything, and the emperor will take his sons to personally collect these two acres of land.
In fact, if two acres of wheat are cut by hand with a sickle, the old farmers who are slow and slow can finish it in a few days at most, and even those extremely strong, powerful and experienced long-term workers can cut one acre in half a day.
And the emperor deliberately set aside ten days, so it can be seen that he really wanted his son to do the work by himself, and it was definitely not a one-day trip to pick up some wheat ears for a spring outing.
As soon as Qiu Xue finished speaking, Jiang Heng laughed.
"Miss?"
Jiang Heng said: "Yesterday was the day for the warehouse, so you don't know if you stayed in the palace and didn't go out with me."
"On the way to the Zhongzheng Hall with Qiushuang, I met Hongli and Hongzhou. They walked back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to Gandong No. [-] and took the path in the imperial garden. Hongzhou was excited when he mentioned that he was going to the Old Summer Palace to harvest wheat. My face is all red."
At that time, Hong Zhou's chubby little face was full of dreams.
"Don't study for ten days, ten days!" Seeing her very close, Hong Zhou took her hand to see the big goose, jumping and jumping excitedly along the way, Hong Li winking at him was useless.
Hongzhou used all his fingers, waving his chubby hands to show Jiang Heng how long he didn't need to study, and how happy he was for it.
Then he still puffed out his small chest and said: "I heard that Huang Ama will take us to the wheat field to harvest the wheat by hand, believe me, I will bring you fresh ears of wheat back to put in the vase."
During the Chinese New Year in the palace, ears of wheat are often planted as a symbol of a good harvest. Hong Zhou is no stranger to ears of wheat, but when he thinks that he will personally pick ears of wheat from the soil (the child does not yet know that the wheat needs to be harvested), I thought it must be fun.
Jiang Heng looked at his excitement with affection and pity: "Silly boy, you don't know that farming is tiring."
The emperor's action is equivalent to getting the child to participate in a certain TV station's "Metamorphosis".
What if the child does not want to learn?Just move the bricks.
Due to the age and background, princes or teenage boys from princely and aristocratic families become standard adults after they get married, and they have to bear a lot of realistic pressure, so the royal family education starts from the baby.
What's even more miserable is that a young emperor like Kangxi, who is irresolutely shouldering the heavy burden at a young age, has no time to learn slowly, so he has to grow up while beating and fearing.
With Hongzhou's age and lively nature, he naturally felt that being forced to sit there every day studying a subset of classics and history and various algorithms and economics was very boring and uncomfortable.
The emperor took his sons out to work in the fields, thinking about it, he wanted to tell them, does it feel hard just to study?There is so much suffering in this world.
Jiang Heng couldn't bear to puncture Xiao Hongzhou's fantasy, so he just nodded: "Okay, when you come back with wheat ears, go to Yonghe Palace and eat fried chicken again, okay?" To make up for the injured mind and body.
Hong Zhou nodded happily.
On the other hand, Jiang Heng quickly squeezed his fair and tender little face again, thinking: After ten days of harvesting wheat, I don't know if I can still look at this little face.
The day before the emperor's departure, the emperor found some free time and went to Yonghe Palace to see her and her small garden that had just taken shape.
Hengchun Nursery sent five eunuchs skilled in flower art to cultivate soil here during the day and plant flowers in batches.Chai Yun, the head manager of Hengchun Nursery, even went to Yonghe Palace whenever he had time to supervise on-site.
This is a job ordered by the emperor himself.Sure enough, the emperor happened to be here this time, and Chai Yu also had a chance to perform.
The emperor is very relieved of Jiang Heng, in all aspects, from character to aesthetics.At this time, when I entered the back hall and saw it, it was indeed so.
A large piece of pink Longsha gemstones, with big flowers climbing on the vines, seems to have crashed into a different world.The flowers are crowded together, like a sea of flowers sprinkled with plump orange-pink juice, which is indescribable in words and full of brilliance and vitality.
When Jiang Heng painted his own small garden, he actually thought of the appearance of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", floating in the breeze, a dream garden.
Bright colors are best in spring.
"Planted at the beginning of this year, it is not prosperous enough." Jiang Heng looked forward to the sea of flowers next spring, and then showed the emperor to look at the flowers next to him: "In summer, my concubine chose some refreshing flowers, mostly blue and white."
The transplanted fringe tree, with snow-white flowers hanging down, on the ground is a piece of blue velvet cat's eye basket, nemophila and hornwort, all of which are the brighter the summer sun, the more positive the blue and the thinner the flowers, which just match Summer blue sky and white clouds.
"What about autumn and winter?"
The emperor saw that the garden was almost full of flowers in spring and summer, so he couldn't help but ask about autumn and winter.At that time, the prosperity withered, wouldn't it be a bit desolate.
Jiang Heng pointed to a few green-leafed trees that seem inconspicuous now: "It's enough to only see the golden ginkgo in autumn. As for winter..." Jiang Heng turned his head and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Can the emperor please move?" Take a look at the west wing?"
Seeing the emperor followed Mr. Xingui to the west wing with a little smile, the manager of Hengchun garden firewood had only one thought: come on, come on, it's not in vain. Face.
There are too many divisions and departments in the palace, and there are dozens of executives, large and small. Except for Su Peisheng who is the supreme chief executive, and Zhang Yuzhu who is slightly higher in the management department, the rest of the executives are considered equal.
But the departments are different, not to mention that the oil and water are much worse, and the social status is also different.
Just like the Qingshui yamen in the officialdom, the income and connections of an official of the same rank are completely different from those of a fat official.
The nature of Hengchun Nursery's work is based on this. It is not brisk to be busy all year round, especially during the New Year's Eve when you are busy offering flowers to various palaces. You can't close your eyes at night, for fear that you will have to move the potted flowers to the emperor, queen mother, and empress the next day. If there is any accident, even if a leaf is withered or the heart of a flower is a little black, it is their great sin.
Birth flowers are not a necessity of life, especially the emperor and the late emperor have different personalities, utensils like simple and elegant ones, not fancy ones, and the empress doesn't like all kinds of flowers, so Hengchun garden is even less valued ( Except for the distribution of concubines, Hengchun Garden has become a designated receiving unit).
During the New Year's Eve, the work is heavy and you can't make mistakes. Usually, the masters can't think of it at all.It's really a tough job.
So when the emperor summoned him to do the work of the Yonghe Palace, Chai Yun was determined to put on a show.
At this moment, Chai Yun looked at the backs of the emperor and the nobleman, and said in his heart: Who said that the emperor doesn't like blooming flowers, it depends on who made the blooming blooms!
Director Chai stood there and sighed: Those who struggle will be rewarded.
The emperor stood at the door of the west wing together with Jiang Heng.
The emperor felt familiar at a glance.
All the original furnishings in this room were removed, and it was arranged like the barbecue banquet on the grassland that day: the same barbecue grill and the same stove.Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and introduced to the emperor: "It's cold in winter, so you don't have to go outside to enjoy the flowers, but to eat barbecue and watch the snow indoors, wouldn't it be a joy?"
Jiang Heng: Qualified migrant workers never think of a plan in vain.
That day on the grassland, I was thinking about how to prepare the barbecue banquet for the emperor, and now I will take it over and reuse it.
The emperor listened to her few words, but it aroused the reverie in his mind: when it is cold in winter, there is heavy snow outside the window, but inside the house is a small red clay stove, the barbecue is moist and oily on the charcoal fire, the vegetables are sweet, and there is With a beautiful woman by your side, the room is full of fragrance, it is really a gentle place.
"Okay, when it's winter, I'll accompany you to enjoy the snow and have a barbecue."
When Jiang Heng heard this sentence, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart: My big single-family villa has been saved!
Regardless of whether the yard was changed to a flower garden, or the west wing room was changed to a barbecue room, all of them have been approved by the emperor.With the emperor's temperament, he is a person who is very unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. I thank Zhou for agreeing to spy on the emperor's contribution to the emperor. Since the emperor wants to use this apse with Jiang Heng, he will never arrange another person to live in it. came in.
The emperor also smiled a lot when he saw her, but felt that this time it was extra sweet, like honey, even her eyes twinkled like stars, and her cheeks began to turn red.
Jiang Heng is really intoxicated: this is a worker's obsession with the house and money.
The emperor just looked at her with a smile, thinking in his heart: I made her happy just because I promised that winter would come.She is usually the smartest, but at this time, she is really stupid and makes people feel distressed.
Looking at her slightly red cheeks, she suddenly thought of last year's winter, when she was so charming.So the emperor only felt that his throat was a bit dry, he cleared his throat and said seriously: "I will stay here for dinner tonight."
Afterwards, he specially said: "Prince Lian sent two cooks from Annan, who said they are good at cooking sweet and sour dishes. Ask them to cook a few dishes tonight for a try."
As a loyal fan of hot and sour, Jiang Heng has always liked Southeast Asian cuisine.
But at this time, when she heard that there was a Vietnamese cook, her first reaction was not to eat, but subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, has the court negotiated peace with Annan? Annan actually sent a cook?"
Don't, don't, Jiang Heng was worried, for fear that the emperor would not be able to withstand the "inertia of a big country" in history.
She came from the Great Tu Dynasty, and when she looked back at the history, she found that too many small countries had taken advantage of Gu Tu in the name of worshiping and learning.
Jiang Heng is not as magnanimous as the ancient emperors. He thinks that I am a big country, and it is okay to give these small countries some sweet rewards.
But history has proved that many countries are just white-eyed wolves, not to mention they are not familiar with them, and they will bite people in turn.
There was no place to sit in the west wing, so the emperor took her to the front main hall, and said as he walked, "Negotiate peace? Annan is also worthy to negotiate peace with me? They have now withdrawn from the original border between the two countries and went to the river. Not to mention the over one hundred li of land that was previously stolen, it was handed over to the border for another two hundred miles.”
The emperor's eyebrows were extremely cold and decisive: "If I don't care, they will continue to eat away at the land of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that I am annoyed, they will retreat and pretend to be pitiful. Such a small country, it's not right if it doesn't hurt. It will take it well. Even if it hurts, it will be remembered for three days, and the scar will be forgotten when it is not healed."
It's a foreign matter, but it's less taboo than the imperial court.
If it was serious about the official affairs of this dynasty, the emperor would not tell Jiang Heng in detail, but he could tell her carefully about the small country thousands of miles away.
"I asked Lao Ba to go there, so it was to prescribe the right medicine. It's no fun to always make small troubles, and you always need troops to prevent Annan from making troubles. It's better to merge directly into the Qing Dynasty."
Jiang Heng felt happy from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to ask the emperor, are you interested in the island country?
At this time, she said sideways: "It would be great if it was merged into the Qing Dynasty. It is said that Annan produces high-quality agarwood, as well as excellent silk and some fruit spices that we don't have."
Jiang Heng knocked on the emperor's side drum with a joke he had heard in his previous life: "An extra inch of land is good, who knows what delicious food can grow on this extra inch of land?"
The emperor smiled when he heard the words: She always thinks about problems from a very practical point of view, just like thinking of a loose-leaf album from arranging embroidery patterns.
The Annan matter is indeed the truth, as the saying goes, "The size of the imperial court's territory is the most important."
The achievements of the emperors of the past dynasties, the expansion of the territory and the stability of the people's livelihood are all great achievements.
The emperor did a lot of things to stabilize the people's livelihood in his previous life, but he had a little regret on the territory.He is not the kind of emperor who is willing to fight. He also feels that resting and recuperating is more important than taking the initiative to fight and expand the territory.
The goal he set for himself was not to resort to militarism, but the territory before the imperial court could never be lost.And the territory that Annan sent to his door did not require a large army to go out, so of course he had to accept it.
On the matter of Yinren, the emperor 100% trusted Lao Ba's skills.
It is estimated that Annan has spit out [-] miles of land now, and he is still grateful to Lao Ba.As far as Lao Ba is concerned, since he has the goal of being Annan's chief envoy, he will definitely not be satisfied with this mere two hundred miles.
Probably distance creates beauty. Ever since the emperor planted green tea in other people's homes, he felt that this tea art is not so hateful.
"Let Chef Annan prepare a few dishes." The emperor ordered Su Peisheng truthfully.
Su Peisheng went to order Chang Qing himself.
Chang Qing made a bitter face when he heard it: As the eunuch serving meals, he is familiar with the taste of the emperor. The sweet, sour, hot and sour dishes of Annan cuisine are quite mouth-watering, and many dishes also have fish sauce, a seafood-flavored ingredient. , with the emperor's standard taste of jelly, it is definitely not my favorite.
Seeing his bitter face, Su Peisheng knew what he was worried about.
So he acted inscrutable: "Please, I will guide you."
Chang Qing immediately saluted Su Peisheng and beat Qian'er, and almost sang a song "Brother save me" on the spot.
Su Peisheng was satisfied and said: "Today's imperial meal is served in the Yonghe Palace, what are you afraid of? It's not like you don't know the taste of the Empress of Yonghe Palace, just let this foreign cook make hot and sour food!"
As expected, Chang Qing's eyes lit up.
Of course he understands the taste of Empress Xin, from the citron tea that is popular in the palace (in fact, it is not really popular, only the queen mother really likes it, others are forced to follow Ye Gong as a good dragon, so they have doubted the emperor's taste problem).
The emperor has imperial meals available, so as long as the dishes cooked by An Nan's cook are good, the emperor will be happy.
Chang Qing hurriedly explained the taste to Cook Annan.
The cooks sent back by Prince Lian as one of the trophies had all received emergency Mandarin training, so it was not difficult to communicate. I heard the butler tell me to let him go and just cook classic local tastes. The cook is more confident.
Especially when he first arrived in Daqing, he specially brought a sufficient amount of various spices to ensure the authenticity of their Annan special dishes.
The cook still remembered the entrustment of their family king: After serving the great emperor of the Qing Dynasty, maybe when he was happy, he would give them all the land around the swastika river.In particular, Prince Lian of the Qing Dynasty was a very good person, and he was very fond of An Nanguo, and he and the king became brothers of the opposite sex. It is not difficult to achieve this goal.
The naive king dispatched a naive cook, with naive ideas, who was ready to cook with 120 points of enthusiasm.
I don't know if it's been a long time since I've eaten Southeast Asian cuisine or what, but Jiang Heng finds it amazing.
The tender chicken skewers grilled with lemongrass, the hot and sour soup noodles, the fish wrapped in lemon coconut leaves, and the transparent glutinous rice skin spring rolls, all of which she found extremely delicious.
The emperor also felt that although the tastes of all the dishes were not very pleasant, there were some ingenuity, and he thought that she was right, Annan had to be nationalized, and there were indeed a lot of delicious food in that land.
When Jiang Heng himself was hesitant to eat it, the emperor gave her another piece of shrimp cake: "I have breakfast today, it's okay to eat a little more. I will accompany you to the Zhongzheng Hall later."
It can be seen that the emperor is really not very busy recently: he can spare time to take the child to harvest wheat, and he can also take a walk with her at night.
The emperor watched Jiang Heng eat the shrimp cakes, and felt relieved: it would be better to make more.After he was sensible, he also saw that Erniang was pregnant. Pregnancy is really hard and exhausting for a woman, so he will make up for it when he can.
After some metaphysical operations, in just a few months, the emperor changed from "my son's fate is weak, and I won't have children in the next few years" to a firm belief that "I will have a lovely baby with her soon." Princess'.
Of course Jiang Heng was unaware of the emperor's change of mind.
She has never been under any pressure on the issue of heirs: after all, Emperor Yongzheng came from another timeline, and he must have known that he had no children for ten years since he ascended the throne. Maybe the queen mother would be anxious, but the emperor himself should have no expectations.Jiang Heng feels very calmly that the pressure of the heirs will not reach her.
Three days later, the emperor took the three princes and left Beijing for the Old Summer Palace.
Because the son was specially treated to 'experience life', he did not bring a concubine with him.
It was the first time for Jiang Heng to realize how relaxed and happy the atmosphere is when the emperor is not in the palace.
The night before he crossed over, Jiang Heng was still eating garlic crayfish. After arriving here, he hadn't eaten all kinds of garlic food for more than a year.
At this moment, the emperor is finally not in the palace.
Jiang Heng ordered garlic minced seasonal vegetables, garlic prawns and other dishes that night - I heard that not only her, but many palaces ordered some strong flavors that they would not dare to eat normally.
Concubine Yu even gave her a small can of shrimp marinated melon with a very strange taste.
The summer heat gradually picked up, and Concubine Yu only went out at night on purpose, just in time for Jiang Heng to come back from the Central Main Hall, so coming to Yonghe Palace with her was considered a summer walk.
The maid behind her was carrying a small azure crock.
Concubine Yu recommended it wholeheartedly: "I prepared this shrimp and melon in the small kitchen seven days in advance. It's just right to eat."
She looked very contented, and she was well prepared for the emperor's departure, and she started making her favorite side dishes a few days in advance.
Jiang Heng said in his heart: It can be said that the emperor went out to work, and he was the only one who worked hard, and the whole palace was happy.
Concubine Yu said frankly: "It's just that many people are not used to the taste, so I will give you this small bottle first. Don't force it. If you are not used to it, give it to the servant. If you eat it well, send someone to find me. Here The first things are all good, and the best shrimp paste, shrimp yellow and crispy melon are used, and this is the season for small river prawns."
Jiang Heng originally thought that the shrimp marinated melon tasted like shrimp paste at most, and she was not too bad at seafood.Unexpectedly, when I opened it, I felt that the taste was really weird, like spoiled shrimp paste mixed with snail powder.Jiang Heng felt his stomach was overwhelmed at that time.
Seeing the situation, Qiu Xue hurriedly took it away: "It's fine if you don't get used to hearing it, the servants can take it away and use it."
Jiang Heng nodded repeatedly.
After Qiu Xue took it away, he quickly shared it with everyone, and it was quite delicious. I don't know why the empress is so unaccustomed to the smell.
Shocked by the shrimp stewed melons, after eating garlic dishes for two days, it was probably over. Jiang Heng suddenly didn't want to eat, so he still asked Chef Annan to eat the dishes, and even asked Qiu Xue to send a message , to be more sour and spicy.
Qiu Xue hesitated and said: "It's getting hotter and hotter, and your mother will hurt her stomach if she eats too much hot and sour food."
Jiang Heng has always attached great importance to his health, but this time he insisted: "The weather is very dry, if it is not sour or spicy, I can't eat it." Qiu Xue thought of the normal lunch that the empress hardly moved, so she had no choice but to spread the word.
The dishes are still hot and sour and appetizing, and Jiang Heng also feels delicious when eating, but he is not very comfortable at night.
In the morning of the next day, when I smelled the meat porridge for breakfast, I couldn't help but spit it out.
Qiu Xue stomped her feet anxiously: "Your Majesty, you said that eating too much acid hurts your stomach. This servant will go and invite you an imperial doctor who is good at nourishing the spleen and stomach!"
Jiang Heng sat there and thought about it for a while, and then said: "No, go and invite an imperial physician from the Qianjin Department."
Qiu Xue was stunned.
On the contrary, Jiang Heng is very calm: thanks to compulsory education, thanks to physical and health education from school to society, and thanks to the knowledge reserve brought by modern rich information.
Coupled with the fact that she has been paying close attention to her physical health, she always feels that her taste has changed a lot recently, and her body has also undergone some subtle changes.
"Not necessarily, I just said that I have a sense of qi and blood deficiency, please ask Imperial Physician Liu to take a look."
In the expert clinic of Tai Hospital, Jiang Heng has already figured out the expertise of each expert, so he registered very accurately at this time.
Doctor Liu was still thinking as he walked on the road: Empress Concubine Xin also felt that she was deficient?Then go quickly.After all, this empress is different from other masters who have to drink medicine when they have nothing to do.
As the master of Qianjin Department of Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Liu has been helping concubines for decades, knowing that the average health status of concubines in the palace is not very good.Many concubines take medicine more often than meals, and they never leave their mouths with various soups and medicines.Physician Liu sometimes suspects that what flows in their veins is not blood but medicinal juice.
From his professional point of view, it is another heavy burden on the body to take medicine for serious and minor illnesses.Moreover, human beings have a wild life force, and minor illnesses may not be without benefits, perhaps they can stimulate one's own vitality.But feeding and cultivating it with medicine like this is like the delicate flowers in the glass room in the palace, which cannot stand a little wind and rain.
But from his professional point of view, this is absolutely unacceptable: The ladies and lords in the palace feel unwell, why don't you prescribe medicine and let them carry it?Imperial Physician Liu wanted to hold his own head and official cap steadily, so of course he couldn't say that.So the concubine asked for medicine, and he had to do his best to give it.
However, the concubine Xinxin was not like this. Although she received the Ping An pulse as usual, she almost never asked for any tonic from the imperial hospital.Even the occasional cough or heat, all direct diet therapy.
Of course, Imperial Physician Liu also knew that the example of Concubine Xin could not be replicated.
This man's health is really good, so good that these imperial physicians who are in charge of the nobles in the harem want to cry: If the masters of the harem are so healthy, how easy their work will be.
So this kind of person who doesn't get sick suddenly came to ask for a doctor. Physician Liu was very energetic, and immediately took two young apprentices, took all the medical tools that could be used, and went to the Yonghe Palace.
However, after arriving, Dr. Liu did not use any medical equipment.
After simply feeling the pulse, his complexion suddenly changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand: "I congratulate the empress!"
He went straight into the main courtyard with a bit of drunkenness, and as soon as he entered, he saw Fujin making a hat for him under the lamp.
Seeing that the prince obviously brought wine in, Thirteen Fujin was also a little surprised: "Didn't the emperor call you away suddenly because he had something important to do? Why did you come back after drinking?" while sending someone to fetch hot water for Shi Sanye face, while pushing the Thirteenth Lord who had already collapsed on the south window kang: "Why do you still drink like this in front of the emperor? Isn't the emperor the least fond of courtiers who drink too much?"
The Thirteenth Master muttered, "Brother Huang told me to drink it."
After wiping his face and gaining some energy, the Thirteenth Master said to Fujin while drinking the walnut and pine nut oil tea brought by Fujin: "It's a strange thing to enter the palace today. Don't talk about it outside."
Thirteen Fujin sucked the needle to the magnet in the needle and thread basket next to it to ensure that the needle would not run around, and then sat down to listen to novelty, which shows that human beings are inherently curious cats and cats.
The Thirteenth Lord told how the emperor called him to the palace on purpose, why he said that he wanted to name the child Minmin but actually there is no child, etc., and so on. Damn, I didn't expect such a direction at all, Thirteenth Master was satisfied: Sure enough, it's not my problem to be shocked.
"I've never seen Brother Huang like this. There is no shadow, but the plan is right."
Thirteenth Lord had some wine after all, so he washed up and went to sleep, but Thirteenth Fujin didn't feel sleepy yet.Is the emperor so looking forward to the child of the concubine Xin? He has already planned for her in advance.
In a blink of an eye, it's late spring and early summer again.
In this coming spring, in addition to harvesting the first flowers in the backyard, Jiang Heng finally ate, and ate enough of the braised bamboo shoots that he had been thinking about last year.
When I first entered the palace last year and learned the rules in Chuxiu Palace, one day Mrs. Guo had such a stewed bamboo shoot in front of me.
At first Jiang Heng just wanted to eat it a little bit, but after looking forward to it for a few days without eating it, he became a little bit obsessed with it.It's a pity that when she leaves Chuxiu Palace and can be the host of the table by herself, the fresh bamboo shoots will pass away.
The regrets of last spring have finally been made up this spring.
Although there are many dining rooms in the palace, there are also many masters from top to bottom.Therefore, it is impossible for the dining room to provide everyone with fashionable and delicious stir-fries. Many tables only have standard dishes, like modern cooking buns. It looks good and meets the standard, but they are all Thousands of steamed and stewed.When it comes to the table, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this dish, but it is by no means delicious.
Jiang Heng thought, in fact, it is very real that everyone in the palace wants to go up, or wants to keep their current status.
In the novel, it is full of wind, flowers, snow and moon, and a year and a half have passed in a flash.But in reality, it was really a meal, a day and a night.
One can get along without eating and sleeping well for a day, but if the living environment is always rough and unbearable, people will be boiled and withered.
Sometimes a delicacy that can be eaten as much as you want, a peaceful and comfortable sleep, and a beautiful new dress represent not only the material itself, but an emotional value, an unspeakable happiness, and a good life. living proof.
There has always been a saying in the north: wheat is planted in front in April, and wheat in May is planted behind.
The calculation of the lunar calendar contains the civilization and wisdom of farming for thousands of years.This year happened to be April Ears, and the wheat was harvested early.
Today's planting industry is not as blessed by various technologies as it is in modern times. Whether the annual wheat harvest can survive safely is really a major issue related to the people's livelihood in the world.
At this time, not to mention the people who rely on the fields for a year's livelihood, the court ministries are also worried, often suffer from insomnia, and the Qin Tianjian even has dark circles under his eyes, repeatedly begging for a good sky, and don't ruin it at the last critical moment. The painstaking efforts of the farmers.
Of course, the emperor is also concerned about this matter, and he must set an example.
In the past, the emperor's example was nothing more than offering sacrifices and praying for blessings. This year, the emperor added an additional content.
"Harvest the wheat yourself?" The queen was very surprised when she heard about the emperor's plan.
In the first month, it is an old custom for the emperor to plow and sow the seeds in person, just as the empress also performed the solemn sacrifice of the silkworm ceremony, six su and three kneelings, which all represent the empress's importance to agriculture and mulberry.
But there is really no old practice of the emperor personally harvesting wheat.
The queen originally wanted to say: "Long Live Lord, can you farm the land?" She retracted the words.
When she thought about it, the emperor really knew how to do it!
Every year in the first lunar month, the Son of Heaven personally sows the seeds.Perhaps for many emperors, it was just a show, but starting from Lord Kangxi, he really wanted to take his sons to the ground.Not to mention that the sons of Lord Kangxi are all kings of scrolls, and everyone rolled up for the throne, until the end of their lives.
That's really better than others in farming!
After the queen was surprised, she obediently listened to the emperor's arrangement: there is no need for it to go wrong, anyway, the emperor went by himself, and he didn't drag her, the queen, to farm. If you want to work, you can do it.
The harem quickly spread the news.
Yonghe Palace was no exception, Qiuxue hurriedly came to talk about it with Jiang Heng.
"The emperor is going to take the three elder brothers to the Old Summer Palace, saying that he will stop their classes for ten days to harvest wheat!" The Old Summer Palace has two acres of wheat fields, which were brought by Emperor Kangxi when he gave the Old Summer Palace to his fourth son Yinzhen. Yes, it is said that if you are a child of the royal family, even if you live in a summer garden, don't forget the importance of mulberry farmers.
Therefore, these two acres of land have been well preserved, and the surrounding areas are all in the shape of ordinary villages, with a few mud-tiled houses remaining, which are also a scene of the Old Summer Palace.
This is a good time to make the best use of everything, and the emperor will take his sons to personally collect these two acres of land.
In fact, if two acres of wheat are cut by hand with a sickle, the old farmers who are slow and slow can finish it in a few days at most, and even those extremely strong, powerful and experienced long-term workers can cut one acre in half a day.
And the emperor deliberately set aside ten days, so it can be seen that he really wanted his son to do the work by himself, and it was definitely not a one-day trip to pick up some wheat ears for a spring outing.
As soon as Qiu Xue finished speaking, Jiang Heng laughed.
"Miss?"
Jiang Heng said: "Yesterday was the day for the warehouse, so you don't know if you stayed in the palace and didn't go out with me."
"On the way to the Zhongzheng Hall with Qiushuang, I met Hongli and Hongzhou. They walked back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to Gandong No. [-] and took the path in the imperial garden. Hongzhou was excited when he mentioned that he was going to the Old Summer Palace to harvest wheat. My face is all red."
At that time, Hong Zhou's chubby little face was full of dreams.
"Don't study for ten days, ten days!" Seeing her very close, Hong Zhou took her hand to see the big goose, jumping and jumping excitedly along the way, Hong Li winking at him was useless.
Hongzhou used all his fingers, waving his chubby hands to show Jiang Heng how long he didn't need to study, and how happy he was for it.
Then he still puffed out his small chest and said: "I heard that Huang Ama will take us to the wheat field to harvest the wheat by hand, believe me, I will bring you fresh ears of wheat back to put in the vase."
During the Chinese New Year in the palace, ears of wheat are often planted as a symbol of a good harvest. Hong Zhou is no stranger to ears of wheat, but when he thinks that he will personally pick ears of wheat from the soil (the child does not yet know that the wheat needs to be harvested), I thought it must be fun.
Jiang Heng looked at his excitement with affection and pity: "Silly boy, you don't know that farming is tiring."
The emperor's action is equivalent to getting the child to participate in a certain TV station's "Metamorphosis".
What if the child does not want to learn?Just move the bricks.
Due to the age and background, princes or teenage boys from princely and aristocratic families become standard adults after they get married, and they have to bear a lot of realistic pressure, so the royal family education starts from the baby.
What's even more miserable is that a young emperor like Kangxi, who is irresolutely shouldering the heavy burden at a young age, has no time to learn slowly, so he has to grow up while beating and fearing.
With Hongzhou's age and lively nature, he naturally felt that being forced to sit there every day studying a subset of classics and history and various algorithms and economics was very boring and uncomfortable.
The emperor took his sons out to work in the fields, thinking about it, he wanted to tell them, does it feel hard just to study?There is so much suffering in this world.
Jiang Heng couldn't bear to puncture Xiao Hongzhou's fantasy, so he just nodded: "Okay, when you come back with wheat ears, go to Yonghe Palace and eat fried chicken again, okay?" To make up for the injured mind and body.
Hong Zhou nodded happily.
On the other hand, Jiang Heng quickly squeezed his fair and tender little face again, thinking: After ten days of harvesting wheat, I don't know if I can still look at this little face.
The day before the emperor's departure, the emperor found some free time and went to Yonghe Palace to see her and her small garden that had just taken shape.
Hengchun Nursery sent five eunuchs skilled in flower art to cultivate soil here during the day and plant flowers in batches.Chai Yun, the head manager of Hengchun Nursery, even went to Yonghe Palace whenever he had time to supervise on-site.
This is a job ordered by the emperor himself.Sure enough, the emperor happened to be here this time, and Chai Yu also had a chance to perform.
The emperor is very relieved of Jiang Heng, in all aspects, from character to aesthetics.At this time, when I entered the back hall and saw it, it was indeed so.
A large piece of pink Longsha gemstones, with big flowers climbing on the vines, seems to have crashed into a different world.The flowers are crowded together, like a sea of flowers sprinkled with plump orange-pink juice, which is indescribable in words and full of brilliance and vitality.
When Jiang Heng painted his own small garden, he actually thought of the appearance of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", floating in the breeze, a dream garden.
Bright colors are best in spring.
"Planted at the beginning of this year, it is not prosperous enough." Jiang Heng looked forward to the sea of flowers next spring, and then showed the emperor to look at the flowers next to him: "In summer, my concubine chose some refreshing flowers, mostly blue and white."
The transplanted fringe tree, with snow-white flowers hanging down, on the ground is a piece of blue velvet cat's eye basket, nemophila and hornwort, all of which are the brighter the summer sun, the more positive the blue and the thinner the flowers, which just match Summer blue sky and white clouds.
"What about autumn and winter?"
The emperor saw that the garden was almost full of flowers in spring and summer, so he couldn't help but ask about autumn and winter.At that time, the prosperity withered, wouldn't it be a bit desolate.
Jiang Heng pointed to a few green-leafed trees that seem inconspicuous now: "It's enough to only see the golden ginkgo in autumn. As for winter..." Jiang Heng turned his head and looked at the emperor with a smile: "Can the emperor please move?" Take a look at the west wing?"
Seeing the emperor followed Mr. Xingui to the west wing with a little smile, the manager of Hengchun garden firewood had only one thought: come on, come on, it's not in vain. Face.
There are too many divisions and departments in the palace, and there are dozens of executives, large and small. Except for Su Peisheng who is the supreme chief executive, and Zhang Yuzhu who is slightly higher in the management department, the rest of the executives are considered equal.
But the departments are different, not to mention that the oil and water are much worse, and the social status is also different.
Just like the Qingshui yamen in the officialdom, the income and connections of an official of the same rank are completely different from those of a fat official.
The nature of Hengchun Nursery's work is based on this. It is not brisk to be busy all year round, especially during the New Year's Eve when you are busy offering flowers to various palaces. You can't close your eyes at night, for fear that you will have to move the potted flowers to the emperor, queen mother, and empress the next day. If there is any accident, even if a leaf is withered or the heart of a flower is a little black, it is their great sin.
Birth flowers are not a necessity of life, especially the emperor and the late emperor have different personalities, utensils like simple and elegant ones, not fancy ones, and the empress doesn't like all kinds of flowers, so Hengchun garden is even less valued ( Except for the distribution of concubines, Hengchun Garden has become a designated receiving unit).
During the New Year's Eve, the work is heavy and you can't make mistakes. Usually, the masters can't think of it at all.It's really a tough job.
So when the emperor summoned him to do the work of the Yonghe Palace, Chai Yun was determined to put on a show.
At this moment, Chai Yun looked at the backs of the emperor and the nobleman, and said in his heart: Who said that the emperor doesn't like blooming flowers, it depends on who made the blooming blooms!
Director Chai stood there and sighed: Those who struggle will be rewarded.
The emperor stood at the door of the west wing together with Jiang Heng.
The emperor felt familiar at a glance.
All the original furnishings in this room were removed, and it was arranged like the barbecue banquet on the grassland that day: the same barbecue grill and the same stove.Jiang Heng stretched out his hand and introduced to the emperor: "It's cold in winter, so you don't have to go outside to enjoy the flowers, but to eat barbecue and watch the snow indoors, wouldn't it be a joy?"
Jiang Heng: Qualified migrant workers never think of a plan in vain.
That day on the grassland, I was thinking about how to prepare the barbecue banquet for the emperor, and now I will take it over and reuse it.
The emperor listened to her few words, but it aroused the reverie in his mind: when it is cold in winter, there is heavy snow outside the window, but inside the house is a small red clay stove, the barbecue is moist and oily on the charcoal fire, the vegetables are sweet, and there is With a beautiful woman by your side, the room is full of fragrance, it is really a gentle place.
"Okay, when it's winter, I'll accompany you to enjoy the snow and have a barbecue."
When Jiang Heng heard this sentence, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart: My big single-family villa has been saved!
Regardless of whether the yard was changed to a flower garden, or the west wing room was changed to a barbecue room, all of them have been approved by the emperor.With the emperor's temperament, he is a person who is very unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. I thank Zhou for agreeing to spy on the emperor's contribution to the emperor. Since the emperor wants to use this apse with Jiang Heng, he will never arrange another person to live in it. came in.
The emperor also smiled a lot when he saw her, but felt that this time it was extra sweet, like honey, even her eyes twinkled like stars, and her cheeks began to turn red.
Jiang Heng is really intoxicated: this is a worker's obsession with the house and money.
The emperor just looked at her with a smile, thinking in his heart: I made her happy just because I promised that winter would come.She is usually the smartest, but at this time, she is really stupid and makes people feel distressed.
Looking at her slightly red cheeks, she suddenly thought of last year's winter, when she was so charming.So the emperor only felt that his throat was a bit dry, he cleared his throat and said seriously: "I will stay here for dinner tonight."
Afterwards, he specially said: "Prince Lian sent two cooks from Annan, who said they are good at cooking sweet and sour dishes. Ask them to cook a few dishes tonight for a try."
As a loyal fan of hot and sour, Jiang Heng has always liked Southeast Asian cuisine.
But at this time, when she heard that there was a Vietnamese cook, her first reaction was not to eat, but subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, has the court negotiated peace with Annan? Annan actually sent a cook?"
Don't, don't, Jiang Heng was worried, for fear that the emperor would not be able to withstand the "inertia of a big country" in history.
She came from the Great Tu Dynasty, and when she looked back at the history, she found that too many small countries had taken advantage of Gu Tu in the name of worshiping and learning.
Jiang Heng is not as magnanimous as the ancient emperors. He thinks that I am a big country, and it is okay to give these small countries some sweet rewards.
But history has proved that many countries are just white-eyed wolves, not to mention they are not familiar with them, and they will bite people in turn.
There was no place to sit in the west wing, so the emperor took her to the front main hall, and said as he walked, "Negotiate peace? Annan is also worthy to negotiate peace with me? They have now withdrawn from the original border between the two countries and went to the river. Not to mention the over one hundred li of land that was previously stolen, it was handed over to the border for another two hundred miles.”
The emperor's eyebrows were extremely cold and decisive: "If I don't care, they will continue to eat away at the land of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that I am annoyed, they will retreat and pretend to be pitiful. Such a small country, it's not right if it doesn't hurt. It will take it well. Even if it hurts, it will be remembered for three days, and the scar will be forgotten when it is not healed."
It's a foreign matter, but it's less taboo than the imperial court.
If it was serious about the official affairs of this dynasty, the emperor would not tell Jiang Heng in detail, but he could tell her carefully about the small country thousands of miles away.
"I asked Lao Ba to go there, so it was to prescribe the right medicine. It's no fun to always make small troubles, and you always need troops to prevent Annan from making troubles. It's better to merge directly into the Qing Dynasty."
Jiang Heng felt happy from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to ask the emperor, are you interested in the island country?
At this time, she said sideways: "It would be great if it was merged into the Qing Dynasty. It is said that Annan produces high-quality agarwood, as well as excellent silk and some fruit spices that we don't have."
Jiang Heng knocked on the emperor's side drum with a joke he had heard in his previous life: "An extra inch of land is good, who knows what delicious food can grow on this extra inch of land?"
The emperor smiled when he heard the words: She always thinks about problems from a very practical point of view, just like thinking of a loose-leaf album from arranging embroidery patterns.
The Annan matter is indeed the truth, as the saying goes, "The size of the imperial court's territory is the most important."
The achievements of the emperors of the past dynasties, the expansion of the territory and the stability of the people's livelihood are all great achievements.
The emperor did a lot of things to stabilize the people's livelihood in his previous life, but he had a little regret on the territory.He is not the kind of emperor who is willing to fight. He also feels that resting and recuperating is more important than taking the initiative to fight and expand the territory.
The goal he set for himself was not to resort to militarism, but the territory before the imperial court could never be lost.And the territory that Annan sent to his door did not require a large army to go out, so of course he had to accept it.
On the matter of Yinren, the emperor 100% trusted Lao Ba's skills.
It is estimated that Annan has spit out [-] miles of land now, and he is still grateful to Lao Ba.As far as Lao Ba is concerned, since he has the goal of being Annan's chief envoy, he will definitely not be satisfied with this mere two hundred miles.
Probably distance creates beauty. Ever since the emperor planted green tea in other people's homes, he felt that this tea art is not so hateful.
"Let Chef Annan prepare a few dishes." The emperor ordered Su Peisheng truthfully.
Su Peisheng went to order Chang Qing himself.
Chang Qing made a bitter face when he heard it: As the eunuch serving meals, he is familiar with the taste of the emperor. The sweet, sour, hot and sour dishes of Annan cuisine are quite mouth-watering, and many dishes also have fish sauce, a seafood-flavored ingredient. , with the emperor's standard taste of jelly, it is definitely not my favorite.
Seeing his bitter face, Su Peisheng knew what he was worried about.
So he acted inscrutable: "Please, I will guide you."
Chang Qing immediately saluted Su Peisheng and beat Qian'er, and almost sang a song "Brother save me" on the spot.
Su Peisheng was satisfied and said: "Today's imperial meal is served in the Yonghe Palace, what are you afraid of? It's not like you don't know the taste of the Empress of Yonghe Palace, just let this foreign cook make hot and sour food!"
As expected, Chang Qing's eyes lit up.
Of course he understands the taste of Empress Xin, from the citron tea that is popular in the palace (in fact, it is not really popular, only the queen mother really likes it, others are forced to follow Ye Gong as a good dragon, so they have doubted the emperor's taste problem).
The emperor has imperial meals available, so as long as the dishes cooked by An Nan's cook are good, the emperor will be happy.
Chang Qing hurriedly explained the taste to Cook Annan.
The cooks sent back by Prince Lian as one of the trophies had all received emergency Mandarin training, so it was not difficult to communicate. I heard the butler tell me to let him go and just cook classic local tastes. The cook is more confident.
Especially when he first arrived in Daqing, he specially brought a sufficient amount of various spices to ensure the authenticity of their Annan special dishes.
The cook still remembered the entrustment of their family king: After serving the great emperor of the Qing Dynasty, maybe when he was happy, he would give them all the land around the swastika river.In particular, Prince Lian of the Qing Dynasty was a very good person, and he was very fond of An Nanguo, and he and the king became brothers of the opposite sex. It is not difficult to achieve this goal.
The naive king dispatched a naive cook, with naive ideas, who was ready to cook with 120 points of enthusiasm.
I don't know if it's been a long time since I've eaten Southeast Asian cuisine or what, but Jiang Heng finds it amazing.
The tender chicken skewers grilled with lemongrass, the hot and sour soup noodles, the fish wrapped in lemon coconut leaves, and the transparent glutinous rice skin spring rolls, all of which she found extremely delicious.
The emperor also felt that although the tastes of all the dishes were not very pleasant, there were some ingenuity, and he thought that she was right, Annan had to be nationalized, and there were indeed a lot of delicious food in that land.
When Jiang Heng himself was hesitant to eat it, the emperor gave her another piece of shrimp cake: "I have breakfast today, it's okay to eat a little more. I will accompany you to the Zhongzheng Hall later."
It can be seen that the emperor is really not very busy recently: he can spare time to take the child to harvest wheat, and he can also take a walk with her at night.
The emperor watched Jiang Heng eat the shrimp cakes, and felt relieved: it would be better to make more.After he was sensible, he also saw that Erniang was pregnant. Pregnancy is really hard and exhausting for a woman, so he will make up for it when he can.
After some metaphysical operations, in just a few months, the emperor changed from "my son's fate is weak, and I won't have children in the next few years" to a firm belief that "I will have a lovely baby with her soon." Princess'.
Of course Jiang Heng was unaware of the emperor's change of mind.
She has never been under any pressure on the issue of heirs: after all, Emperor Yongzheng came from another timeline, and he must have known that he had no children for ten years since he ascended the throne. Maybe the queen mother would be anxious, but the emperor himself should have no expectations.Jiang Heng feels very calmly that the pressure of the heirs will not reach her.
Three days later, the emperor took the three princes and left Beijing for the Old Summer Palace.
Because the son was specially treated to 'experience life', he did not bring a concubine with him.
It was the first time for Jiang Heng to realize how relaxed and happy the atmosphere is when the emperor is not in the palace.
The night before he crossed over, Jiang Heng was still eating garlic crayfish. After arriving here, he hadn't eaten all kinds of garlic food for more than a year.
At this moment, the emperor is finally not in the palace.
Jiang Heng ordered garlic minced seasonal vegetables, garlic prawns and other dishes that night - I heard that not only her, but many palaces ordered some strong flavors that they would not dare to eat normally.
Concubine Yu even gave her a small can of shrimp marinated melon with a very strange taste.
The summer heat gradually picked up, and Concubine Yu only went out at night on purpose, just in time for Jiang Heng to come back from the Central Main Hall, so coming to Yonghe Palace with her was considered a summer walk.
The maid behind her was carrying a small azure crock.
Concubine Yu recommended it wholeheartedly: "I prepared this shrimp and melon in the small kitchen seven days in advance. It's just right to eat."
She looked very contented, and she was well prepared for the emperor's departure, and she started making her favorite side dishes a few days in advance.
Jiang Heng said in his heart: It can be said that the emperor went out to work, and he was the only one who worked hard, and the whole palace was happy.
Concubine Yu said frankly: "It's just that many people are not used to the taste, so I will give you this small bottle first. Don't force it. If you are not used to it, give it to the servant. If you eat it well, send someone to find me. Here The first things are all good, and the best shrimp paste, shrimp yellow and crispy melon are used, and this is the season for small river prawns."
Jiang Heng originally thought that the shrimp marinated melon tasted like shrimp paste at most, and she was not too bad at seafood.Unexpectedly, when I opened it, I felt that the taste was really weird, like spoiled shrimp paste mixed with snail powder.Jiang Heng felt his stomach was overwhelmed at that time.
Seeing the situation, Qiu Xue hurriedly took it away: "It's fine if you don't get used to hearing it, the servants can take it away and use it."
Jiang Heng nodded repeatedly.
After Qiu Xue took it away, he quickly shared it with everyone, and it was quite delicious. I don't know why the empress is so unaccustomed to the smell.
Shocked by the shrimp stewed melons, after eating garlic dishes for two days, it was probably over. Jiang Heng suddenly didn't want to eat, so he still asked Chef Annan to eat the dishes, and even asked Qiu Xue to send a message , to be more sour and spicy.
Qiu Xue hesitated and said: "It's getting hotter and hotter, and your mother will hurt her stomach if she eats too much hot and sour food."
Jiang Heng has always attached great importance to his health, but this time he insisted: "The weather is very dry, if it is not sour or spicy, I can't eat it." Qiu Xue thought of the normal lunch that the empress hardly moved, so she had no choice but to spread the word.
The dishes are still hot and sour and appetizing, and Jiang Heng also feels delicious when eating, but he is not very comfortable at night.
In the morning of the next day, when I smelled the meat porridge for breakfast, I couldn't help but spit it out.
Qiu Xue stomped her feet anxiously: "Your Majesty, you said that eating too much acid hurts your stomach. This servant will go and invite you an imperial doctor who is good at nourishing the spleen and stomach!"
Jiang Heng sat there and thought about it for a while, and then said: "No, go and invite an imperial physician from the Qianjin Department."
Qiu Xue was stunned.
On the contrary, Jiang Heng is very calm: thanks to compulsory education, thanks to physical and health education from school to society, and thanks to the knowledge reserve brought by modern rich information.
Coupled with the fact that she has been paying close attention to her physical health, she always feels that her taste has changed a lot recently, and her body has also undergone some subtle changes.
"Not necessarily, I just said that I have a sense of qi and blood deficiency, please ask Imperial Physician Liu to take a look."
In the expert clinic of Tai Hospital, Jiang Heng has already figured out the expertise of each expert, so he registered very accurately at this time.
Doctor Liu was still thinking as he walked on the road: Empress Concubine Xin also felt that she was deficient?Then go quickly.After all, this empress is different from other masters who have to drink medicine when they have nothing to do.
As the master of Qianjin Department of Imperial Hospital, Imperial Physician Liu has been helping concubines for decades, knowing that the average health status of concubines in the palace is not very good.Many concubines take medicine more often than meals, and they never leave their mouths with various soups and medicines.Physician Liu sometimes suspects that what flows in their veins is not blood but medicinal juice.
From his professional point of view, it is another heavy burden on the body to take medicine for serious and minor illnesses.Moreover, human beings have a wild life force, and minor illnesses may not be without benefits, perhaps they can stimulate one's own vitality.But feeding and cultivating it with medicine like this is like the delicate flowers in the glass room in the palace, which cannot stand a little wind and rain.
But from his professional point of view, this is absolutely unacceptable: The ladies and lords in the palace feel unwell, why don't you prescribe medicine and let them carry it?Imperial Physician Liu wanted to hold his own head and official cap steadily, so of course he couldn't say that.So the concubine asked for medicine, and he had to do his best to give it.
However, the concubine Xinxin was not like this. Although she received the Ping An pulse as usual, she almost never asked for any tonic from the imperial hospital.Even the occasional cough or heat, all direct diet therapy.
Of course, Imperial Physician Liu also knew that the example of Concubine Xin could not be replicated.
This man's health is really good, so good that these imperial physicians who are in charge of the nobles in the harem want to cry: If the masters of the harem are so healthy, how easy their work will be.
So this kind of person who doesn't get sick suddenly came to ask for a doctor. Physician Liu was very energetic, and immediately took two young apprentices, took all the medical tools that could be used, and went to the Yonghe Palace.
However, after arriving, Dr. Liu did not use any medical equipment.
After simply feeling the pulse, his complexion suddenly changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand: "I congratulate the empress!"
