Doctor Zhang said respectfully: "Princess, you must take these medicines three times a day. After taking them for seven days, Weichen will prescribe a new medicine for you."
He paused and continued: "In order to prevent the medicinal properties from being diluted, it is best for the princess not to eat candied fruit or other sweet things while taking it."
Doctor Zhang understood the holy will and knew what he should do - make the princess suffer a little without affecting her body.
The eldest princess Rong Ying always hated bitter things. Every time she took medicine, she not only had to eat candied fruit that was too sweet to pay for her life, but also drank honey water to rinse her mouth.
Her eyes fell on the coptis on the prescription, and imagining the taste of the bitter medicine, Rong Ying felt bad.
But she still had to drink this medicine. The two maids the Queen Mother placed beside her were not decorations.
"I know, I will take the medicine well and live up to the saint's care."
After saying this, she was filled with anger and looked tired before seeing off the guests.
Doctor Zhang left soon.
Rong Ying's granddaughter Cui Yafeng said obediently: "Grandma, when the medicine is ready, my granddaughter will drink it with you."
Cui Yafeng is the legitimate daughter of Rong Ying's third son. Her biological mother died in childbirth when she was born. Because Cui Yafeng and Rong Ying were somewhat similar, even though she was just a girl, Rong Ying still raised her under his knees.
After raising her for a long time, she will naturally develop feelings for her. Especially Cui Yafeng, who was brought up by her, and her words and deeds are the type that Rong Ying is most satisfied with. This time when she went to Beijing, none of the other grandchildren took her with her, only Cui Yafeng.
Rong Ying frowned and said, "Since you are not sick, you don't need to drink medicine with me. How can you drink this medicine randomly?"
Her face darkened, "I thought I would let you show your face in front of the Queen Mother when I went to the palace today to pay my respects."
As a result, before she could show off her dignity and propriety, she herself was humiliated.
She knew the emperor's intention very well. Didn't he just want her to stay in the princess' mansion on the grounds of recuperating from illness?
She was put under house arrest by the emperor in the name of recuperating her illness just after she entered the capital. I was afraid that those nobles with eyes on their foreheads in the capital would not take her seriously.
Su Yueling.
Whenever Rong Ying thinks of the instigator, her eyes turn red with hatred.
Su Yueling had better not let anything fall into her hands, otherwise don't blame her for being ruthless.
Cui Yafeng still looked well-behaved, "Nothing else is important. Grandma, your body is the most important thing."
Rong Ying looked at her feet and asked, "Do your feet still hurt when you walk recently?"
Cui Yafeng lowered her eyes, "I'm used to it."
Rong Ying said: "In the past few days, when you are in the mansion, you can read the book "Female Virtues" when you have time. If you understand something, you can also write down some of your insights on it."
That "Female Virtue" is the result of several years of hard work.
Cui Yafeng was very tired of the fact that more and more women were showing up in Daxia, and felt that they were frivolous and not dignified enough. Su Yueling undoubtedly started this trend.
She had heard that Su Yueling's sister-in-law and the maid who used to serve her were opening shops and doing business.
Yuan Baoshu even opened cloth shops and textile factories and recruited many women. This is simply not decent! In this world, men and women have their own positions. Women should stay in the back house and take care of their husbands and children, instead of working in the house all day
They work outside to make money, do they still need their reputation?….
Her nephew really allowed them to do whatever they wanted, and even gave Yuan Suijun the status of the princess of Weiguo. Even Yuan Baoshu followed the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven and became the county monarch.
The anger that Rong Ying had finally suppressed resurfaced again.
Her granddaughter, Yafeng, is dignified and dignified. She has passed the age of hairpin, but she does not even have the title of county monarch. If she sees Yuan Baoshu, she might even have to bow to her.
It was precisely because she really couldn't stand the world's increasingly corrupted etiquette that Rong Ying personally wrote "Women's Virtues" to educate the public and let everyone know what is a model of a virtuous woman.
As for promoting "Female Virtue", she also has some ideas,
And start taking action.
Her eyes fell on her granddaughter's feet. The feet were small and exquisite, like golden lotus, with a slender and delicate beauty. Yafeng even swayed when she walked, with an elegant and beautiful posture.
She once read in a book that there was an emperor in the Wen Dynasty who liked women with small feet. Most of the concubines in the harem had small feet. He also ordered the people to hold a "Golden Lotus Tasting" event. The person with the most beautiful golden lotus would be the winner.
Able to obtain rewards. Because of him, many parents in the Wen Dynasty at that time also bound the feet of their daughters.
At that time, women could not run because of their small feet, and aristocratic ladies rarely showed up and lived in attics all their lives. However, after the demise of the Wen Dynasty, this custom was gradually forgotten by the world.
After Rong Ying saw this period of history, she felt that it was very feasible to promote foot binding, which could clear up the current messy customs.
As the first person among the nobles to have bound feet, her elegance will become an example for everyone to follow.
It's a pity that the eldest son of the emperor is still young and has not even been enlightened this year. There is a big age gap between him and Yafeng. Otherwise, Yafeng's character would be worthy of a princess.
Thinking of "Female Virtue", the eldest princess's mood finally improved a little. Even if she drank the bitter medicine cooked by people, it was not so unbearable.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, the concierge sent over today's invitation.
The eldest princess felt much better after seeing the thick invitation card.
"The invitation from the Marquis of Nanping's Mansion has been rejected. I remember that the Marquis of Nanping made the decision to reconcile his daughter and son-in-law. Such an unruly family cannot allow them to visit, lest they pollute our land."
Moreover, the reason for the divorce was because his son-in-law had a wife. The lady from the Nanping Houfu failed to give birth to a legitimate son for her husband. She should have given her husband more concubines to expand her husband's family. That wife
It can be said that the wife was able to give birth to an heir, which can be said to be a great achievement. As a wife, she should have welcomed the outside wife into the door and given the concubine an identity. However, the Nanping Hou Mansion made this matter a big deal and asked the two to reconcile.
It's completely unorganized and outrageous.
"Is this General Zhenwu the family that asked his daughter to guard the widowed family before?" She vaguely remembered that at that time, General Zhenwu's legitimate daughter was betrothed to the second son of the Mi family. However, the second son of the Mi family passed away due to a sudden illness.
General Zhenwu said that since the marriage was settled, his daughter was a member of the Mi family, so he still let his daughter marry with the memorial tablet of the second son of the Mi family, and marry him to be her husband's widow.
She was just about to ask her dowry nanny when she suddenly remembered that she and several of her confidants had been taken away by the Queen Mother in the name of poor care. Rong Ying's face turned ugly again.
She looked through the invitations expressionlessly, and finally decided to reject them all except General Zhenwu's family.
General Zhenwu's family is a serious family...
