In front of you, there are several medicine fields as big as football fields. They are divided into countless squares. The various medicinal materials are clearly classified and processed by people in each square, and then packaged and stored. People salute and shout long live the thousand years later.
.I followed Emperor Xuan Tian to the medicine storage building on three floors.
Suddenly, I felt like I was in a large library, but the bookshelves had turned into medicine shelves. There were two rows on the left and right, extending forward. It seemed that I couldn't see the bottom. Because the ventilation conditions were excellent, it was not very stuffy inside. On the contrary, it was not very stuffy.
There is a fragrance of herbs in the air.
"It's strange how there is such a big medicine storage building here, isn't it? You see, these herbs are the most important to soldiers. When marching and fighting, and there is a lack of food and water, even a slight illness will be fatal. If it had been back then
If these medicinal materials had been available during the two years of the Pingnan Long March, many soldiers would not have lost their lives. I fought step by step, and I know that food on the battlefield is important, and these medicinal materials are equally important. But compared to..."
He explained as he led me through the rows of medicine shelves. I was very surprised why he suddenly said this to me. It felt like it had nothing to do with me.
When he reached the back rows, he stopped. I took a closer look at the medicine shelves in these rows. The wood was still relatively new, so it seemed that they were newly imported medicinal materials.
The catalog of medicinal materials above reads: Ligusticum chuanxiong, cordyceps sinensis, mugwort leaves, perilla, skullcap, loranth, amomum villosum, donkey-hide gelatin, bamboo root, ramie root, calamus and so on.
"Do you recognize these medicinal materials? They are all medicinal materials used to treat fetuses. I didn't pay special attention to these medicinal materials before, but it is different now. I find it necessary to collect these medicinal materials. Look at this donkey-hide gelatin, it is neutral in nature and sweet in taste.
, it has the functions of nourishing blood and stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and moisturizing, and relieving fetus. It is suitable for fetal movement problems caused by weak Chong and Ren or deficiency of yin and blood.
For metrorrhagia and bleeding, you can mix this rehmannia glutinosa, mugwort leaves, etc., so you don’t have to worry about the bitterness of the medicine. There is also this bamboo root, which is slightly cold in nature and has the same sweet taste.
The power of the fetus is used for uneasy fetal movement caused by the heat in the fetus. It can be used alone or in combination with skullcap and ramie root. It can relieve your recent irritability and stomach upset."
I looked at him in bewilderment. When did he become so familiar with medicine? He turned back to look at me in a daze and said with a smile: "I understand, you don't like to take medicine. I asked the imperial chef to make Zaoqi in the evening."
Braised seabass, amomum elbow, braised crucian carp with ginseng, Ba Zaitian chicken leg soup and..."
"Your Majesty, you, do you really like Shi'er?" Seeing him speaking with so much interest and concentration, it seems that I can't accept him like this, so I asked such a stupid question, just because I used to
I feel like I have always been his pet in captivity, but now? Maybe, maybe for the sake of this child, he no longer restricts everything about me.
"I don't just like you, Shi'er, I love you. I don't even know when it started. Maybe when we were in Chenyuan, maybe when we were in Qilixiang, maybe when we were at the flower viewing banquet, or maybe every day.
I watched you playing the piano and practicing martial arts this morning." He put his arm around me and said solemnly. "Sir, no matter how many women there are in the harem, I only want you. I shouldn't have tortured you before. Forget about that.
, we will live well in the future."
I lowered my head and didn't respond to him much. In fact, I still hoped in my heart that he would say no. At least then I could still have a chance to live a quiet life. Since ancient times, in the backyard of the palace, women who have gathered thousands of pets have not had good results; in the end,
I still want to love that episode
I will give her love back to others. But no matter what, I can't help myself now, and I can't help myself. I think those people with ulterior motives will take care of me, and I should be able to protect my child. Life,
Not only is there love, but there is also family affection, isn't it?
After returning to Chenyuan, I thought for a long time about how I should face Emperor Xuan Tian at this time. When he was bad, he could hurt me to pieces, but when he got better, he was flawless. But the love was gone. My heart is dead; maybe for the sake of my only relative, my child, I will give him a complete life with him, but there is no emotion left.
The words that Aunt Wan said before leaving echoed in my ears again, cherish what you have now. Brother Xue also said, try to understand him, try to accept the other him. Looking back on the past, it was not him who destroyed the Xiao family. On the contrary, it was more than ten years ago. Before, the murder of King Qian was closely related to the Xiao family. My mother's death was related to him, but it was an accident. Although I hated and annoyed me at the time, I have to say that it was indeed an accident. And when my mother was dying, she still They said that we owed them, and my second brother, if they were right, it was not his original intention. In the final analysis, he deliberately tortured me at the beginning and planned everything to make Huangfuzhe misunderstand. Later, he I caught him back and weighed it... If it were anyone else, I would only think it was revenge even if he killed me with my own hands.
To be honest, from an objective point of view, he is not that devilish. On the contrary, he saved me. If he had not detoxified me, I would have died long ago. During the time when I lost my memory, he took very considerate care of me. , I’m not indifferent. If my memory hadn’t been restored, maybe I might have been influenced.
But, what can I do? If I were a bystander, maybe I would admire him like other women. However, I am the victim. I am a human being, not a god. So how do I erase the memories of despair every time? Go? I also want to live a good life and live a meaningful life. Sometimes I feel that forgetting is really a good thing, but the more I want to forget, the clearer those memories become, just like a ghost. Like a ghost. Submerged in the depths of the nightmare, no matter where I ran, no matter how loud I screamed, no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free.
Thinking of this, I opened my eyes suddenly, only to realize that I was covered in cold sweat on a mild spring day. That's it! That's it! These grievances and grudges are constantly being cut and sorted out, and no one can tell who owes whom, everything just happens. Go ahead.
"I beg your Majesty, the Queen invites you to meet me at the Jingxin Pavilion." Ling'er came in to report.
I responded to her with a gracious voice. I thought it was really strange. The Queen and Tianfei had equal status. The Queen managed her harem, but Tianfei and Chenyuan existed independently of the harem. In other words, who among us It doesn’t matter to anyone. At first, I thought this arrangement was really unwise. Everyone knows that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Wouldn’t it make the two harems more chaotic if they clearly show the opposition? This is not what Emperor Xuan Tian did at all. . Later I learned that this concubine has existed since ancient times, and a generation of kings can only establish concubines, but not abolish them. Even the prince of the concubine has the priority to be established as a prince, mainly to protect the beloved woman from being burdened by the harem. The most ruthless emperor's family was established. How could there be any true love? Therefore, in the history of Zhongtian, only the founding emperor had a concubine. The subsequent emperors never established one again. I really don't understand what I have. , it is worthy for Emperor Xuan Tian to give me such a title.
"Mother, are you going or not?" Ling'er on the side asked when she saw that I didn't answer.
"Go!" I replied. The queen is different from other concubines. She has seen her a few times and is more sensible. Since she has so obviously asked someone to deliver a message, she must have something important to explain. If she doesn't see you today, she will still come tomorrow.
There was no way to hide. I was soaked in cold sweat as soon as I stood up.
The clothes were stuck to my back. It was very uncomfortable, and it was easy to catch a cold like this. In the past, I wouldn't have paid much attention to it, but now it's different. I have a child now, so I can't be careless. And I went to see the Queen smelling like this.
It also seemed disrespectful, so he asked me to change my clothes before going.
When I arrived at the lake, I saw that in the meditation pavilion in the center of the lake, the Queen, Concubine Jin and Concubine Shu had already sat down. I was about to walk onto the water promenade, and Concubine De, dressed in a purple gauze dress, took the lead and stepped forward. Humph!
I shouted and walked up the corridor. At this time, Concubine Jin turned around and saw me. We looked at each other and smiled. I saw that Concubine De had already walked a certain distance, so I walked over.
After walking to the pavilion, according to the rules here, I don't need to salute the queen. I just want to say a few words to the queen like a person of equal rank. After the greetings, I was about to take my seat when I saw Concubine De's face with disdain.
He said sarcastically: "The Imperial Concubine is so proud of herself. It's really special for us sisters to wait for you alone!"
"I'm really sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long." Faced with this somewhat unruly concubine, following her words would cause less trouble.
But she didn't seem to buy it. She wanted to say something more, but the queen stopped her with a "Defei!"
"Today, the Ai family is here to ask all the sisters to talk to them. The eighth day of April is the day of our founding celebration in Zhongtian. Due to external and internal troubles in the past few years, it has never been held properly. Today I
The emperor's sage was able to stabilize the world and the people enjoyed peace. The emperor decided to celebrate his birthday
On the day of the celebration, all the imperial concubines of the third rank and above will participate." The queen stopped, looked at me, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Today is only nine days away from the eighth day of April. Please prepare well, sisters.
Be prepared, don't neglect it. Don't lose the etiquette of our Zhongtian Dynasty."
"Don't worry, Queen, my sister will be well prepared and will definitely show off the style of my Zhongtian Dynasty." Concubine De said cautiously. I also nodded along with the other concubines.
The queen graciously agreed, then looked at me and said, "Tianfei, can you agree to the Ai family's request?"
"Queen, please tell me. If it can be done, I will definitely agree." I replied.
"What are you talking about? You are so rude in front of the Queen, and you dare to call yourself 'I'. You..." Concubine De was about to continue, but the Queen stopped her.
"Okay, Concubine De! If we say it's rude, you are even more rude. According to the status of the Concubine Tian, the Ai family must be polite. You are always making rude remarks. What crime should you be guilty of! Why don't you kneel down!"
The queen said coldly. Suddenly, the relatively harmonious atmosphere turned cold.
Concubine De held back what she had not said, with a look of grievance on her face, and knelt down angrily. She whispered: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"It's not against the Aijia. You should ask Concubine Tian to forgive you for your disrespect!" The queen said sternly with a cold face.
Concubine De curled her lips and said in a low voice with great reluctance: "Concubine Tian, please forgive me. My sister has realized her mistake."
I was about to say something to calm down the atmosphere. Then I heard the queen say: "Louder!"
"Yes, Concubine Tian, forgive me. My sister has realized her mistake." Concubine De said loudly and unwillingly.
"It's nothing, just get up. Queen, don't be too angry, Queen De Fei is just a bit outspoken. I really appreciate her temperament. Get up and sit down!" I said softly.
"I still thank Concubine Tian for not pursuing your crime of disrespect." The queen said to Concubine De.
"Thank you, Concubine Tian, for your grace!" After saying that, he stood up and sat back down.
Listening to the suppressed resentment, I thought, it's over, I have offended such an arbitrary and willful master in vain.
