It was the first time that Xu Qing came to the palace to cheat...ahem, and collect reward money. Xu Qing was a little nervous.
But fortunately, the patient and recommender are both our own people, so the problem should not be big.
After Xu Qing and Xiao Ye walked in, they saw a beautiful woman in palace attire.
Xiao Ye stopped and immediately bowed and said: "My child has seen his mother and concubine."
It turned out that this person was Princess Xian, Xu Qing also quickly bowed and said: "I have seen the princess before."
The woman in palace clothes looked a little strange at the young man brought in by her son, and then asked: "Ye'er, is this your friend?"
Xiao Ye nodded and said: "Back to my concubine, his name is Xu Qing. He is the child's friend. He is sure to cure Xueer's anorexia."
Princess Xian glanced at Xu Qing with a bit of surprise on her face. She had also heard of the title of the number one talent in Yongzhou City.
Moreover, according to the report from the palace guards, one of his children opened a bookstore with this person, and the prince did not stop him.
Regarding the Qingxue Study, Princess Xian only regarded it as a playful act between her two children and didn't take it seriously.
However, the daughter I loved the most did not eat well, which made her feel very distressed.
Princess Xian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Are you sure you can cure Xue'er's disease?"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "The villain is naturally confident."
Of course Xu Qing was sure, because her disease had already been cured by Xu Qing with a bunch of candied haws and a pot of sweet and sour pork ribs.
He came here just to collect money!
Princess Xian looked at Xu Qing and said: "Okay, if you can make Xue'er eat with peace of mind, I will definitely ask the prince to reward you heavily. I will ask my servants to prepare the medicinal materials you want to use to treat Xue'er."
Xu Qing said: "The villain needs two kilograms of red fruits and some icing sugar."
Princess Xian said: "These are available in the kitchens of the palaces, but... why are these things needed? Don't you need any medicinal materials?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "The red fruit has the effect of appetizing and strengthening the spleen. It is a good medicine to treat the princess's anorexia. No other medicinal materials are needed."
In fact, Xu Qing doesn’t know whether red fruits have the effect of appetizing and strengthening the spleen.
Xu Qing just knew that Xiao Ruxue wanted to eat candied haws...
It's better to spend the palace's money on making candied haws for her than spending his own money. Since she wants to eat it, Xu Qing will simply let her eat as much as she can.
in the kitchen
Since we are in the palace, we have everything we need, so we no longer need to use chopsticks instead of bamboo sticks.
The cook in the kitchen just now had prepared a pile of bamboo sticks for Xu Qing.
Xu Qing washed the red fruits and removed the cores, then tied them with bamboo skewers and covered them with sugar syrup.
"Snapped!"
Throw it on the iron plate.
A bunch of red and beautiful candied haws is ready.
Princess Xian looked at the strings of candied haws on the plate and couldn't help but asked: "What's the name of this medicine? Why is it so bright and ruddy and attractive in color?"
Princess Xian has also seen a lot of medicinal materials, but most of them are boiled into extremely bitter concoctions. How can they be as bright as this?
Xu Qing made it again and said: "Report to the princess, this thing is called candied haws. It tastes sour and sweet, and it is very good for appetizing. Moreover, the villain thinks that the princess may not be used to taking medicine when she is young, so it is
Create this food therapy that’s like a snack.”
Princess Xian nodded with satisfaction and said: "This treatment is very good. You have your heart. This girl Xue'er is not afraid of anything, but she is extremely resistant to taking medicine. If the medicines in the future can be replaced with such a treatment, it will
You no longer have to worry about Xueer not taking medicine when she gets sick."
Xu Qing smiled modestly and said, "The princess is so complimentary."
Ordinary people would be tired of eating two or three skewers. Xu Qing made ten skewers of candied haws this time, which was enough for Xiao Ruxue to eat.
Putting the candied haws on a plate and letting a servant carry it, Xu Qing, Xiao Ye and Princess Xian walked to the small courtyard where Xiao Ruxue lived.
The servant knocked on the door: "Princess, Dr. Xu just came here. He made a good medicine that can cure the princess's anorexia."
Xiao Ruxue's voice came from inside: "Take it away! I don't take unpleasant medicine!"
Princess Xian walked the first two steps at this time: "Xue'er, be obedient. This medicine is not an unpleasant medicinal soup. This medicine is sour and sweet. If you don't come out, my mother will finish it all."
Xiao Ruxue said from inside: "Concubine, please don't deceive Xueer. Where can I find sweet and sour medicine?"
Women are indeed born to be actors, and Xu Qing even admired Xiao Ruxue's acting skills.
For that one hundred taels of silver, Xiao Ruxue really spared no effort in pursuing authenticity.
However, this family's love for Xiao Ruxue once again refreshed Xu Qing's understanding.
If this were placed on Xiao Ye's head, it would be difficult to talk about it. Xu Qing could even imagine such a scene.
Not eating? This is not easy!
Someone come! Lock him up in a small dark room! Starve him for a few days first!
No appetite? I think you are very hungry!
What a miserable life...
Princess Xian's persuasion continued: "Xue'er, if you don't believe it, my mother-in-law came out to take a look. If you don't want to eat my mother-in-law, I will never force you to do so."
"Yeah--"
The door that was originally closed suddenly opened a gap.
Xiao Ruxue quickly took a bunch of candied haws from the plate.
Seeing her daughter eating, Princess Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Ruxue finished eating a bunch and rubbed her belly and said, "Mother, Xue'er is hungry. Xue'er wants to eat."
Princess Xian's face was filled with joy when she heard this, and she immediately ordered: "Hurry and prepare a meal!"
Xiao Ruxue pulled Princess Xian's sleeve and said, "Concubine, Xue'er doesn't want to eat the food in the palace."
Princess Xian touched Xiao Ruxue's head and said, "Then what does Xue'er want to eat?"
Xiao Ruxue looked at Princess Xian with her big watery eyes and said, "Concubine, I want to eat ribs."
Princess Xian pinched Xiao Ruxue's face with her hand and said, "Okay, let's eat the ribs."
Then he ordered: "Hurry and prepare the ribs."
Xiao Ruxue shook her head again and said: "Mother, I don't want to eat the ribs prepared by the chefs in the palace. I want to eat the ribs made by Xu Qing."
As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Qing, who was standing behind Princess Xian.
Princess Xian looked troubled and said: "Xu Qing is your brother's friend, how can you let him work as a cook?"
Xiao Ruxue started to act coquettishly and said, "I don't care! I want to eat it!"
Xu Qing said at this time: "Reporting to the princess, I know a lot about cooking, and I am willing to make ribs for the princess."
It's better to use the palace's money to buy ribs than to spend a hundred taels of silver.
Xiao Ruxue and Xu Qing understand this very clearly!
Princess Xian saw a slight apology on Xu Qing's face and said, "Xue'er has been naughty since she was a child, so I'm sorry to trouble you. When Xue'er has eaten, I'll ask the prince to double the reward for you."
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she cupped her hands and said: "For the sake of silver... to win the favor of the princess, I am willing."
