Zhen Huan and colleagues Mi Wan Ling Xin

, Respectfully said: "Master, plantain is cold in nature, it's okay to eat less, but pregnant women should not touch it lightly, because plantain is the same as peach kernel, safflower and other medicines, which have the effect of dispelling blood stasis and reducing swelling. Although it is not as effective as safflower, if it is steamed, its medicinal power will slowly penetrate into the food, and it will hurt the body over time. And if the mother takes a small amount of peach kernels for a long time, the child will still be born dead even if it grows in the abdomen , the stillborn baby will have bruising scars."

"Okay, Wei Lin, you can go back to the Imperial Hospital."

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

After Wei left, Cui Jinxi said in a calm voice: "My lord, this servant remembers that the little prince born to Empress Chunyuan is stillborn with bruises on his body."

"Don't say anything about this matter, I will discuss it with Concubine Shu when she comes to Tangli Palace again."

...This is the dividing line between Zhen Huan pulling Qi Yuebin and Hu Yunrong to plot...

In September, the autumn wind sent away the heat in Zi'ao City.

Zhen Huan and Qi Yuebin, with their big bellies, took Ouyue to the Hall of Yiyuan, and chatted with Xuanling about the family affairs.

Wei Lin entered the Hall of Yiyuan while they were chatting, the reason was to ask Zhen Huan for her fetal pulse.

"Speaking of which, Ozuyue's birthday is approaching. I have neglected her all these years, and Imperial Concubine Ming has relieved her a lot after these years. This time, I want to make it more grand for Ozuyue." Xuan Ling stroked her daughter's soft hair with pity.

Qi Yuebin happily got up to thank the emperor: "I thanked the emperor on behalf of Ooyue. Since the imperial physician Wei is here, please stop by and ask the emperor for a safe pulse."

Xuan Ling was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of thin silk shoes coming from the corridor, gradually approaching the Yiyuan Hall accompanied by the sound of emerald jewels.Xuan Ling frowned slightly, "Who is it?"

Xiao Xiazi lifted up the beaded and silk curtain of the auspicious spirit and beast, but saw Hu Yunrong walking in lotus steps. Hu Yunrong was dressed in a silver and vermilion fine cloud brocade silk and acacia gown, which made her petite figure look like a crimson cloud, shining brilliantly. Light.

Hu Yunrong helped the maid's hand and came in to invite Ann, "I got a new prescription. The emperor knows that the agar next to my concubine was originally the attendant of my grandfather, Princess Wuyang. Her younger sister Qiongluo is very good at cooking. She once served Empress Chunyuan was pregnant, and she was sent out of the palace after her death. Agaro went back to visit her relatives two days ago, and heard from Qiong Luo that when Empress Chunyuan was alive, she was very particular about the natural flavor of her food, and she used bamboo leaves for cooking. , Ruo leaves or plantain leaves are placed on the bottom of the steamer, I think it is very elegant, so I also want to learn how to do it.”

Xuan Ling was listening lazily, but when he smelled the word "Chunyuan", he smiled warmly without knowing it, and even the curvature of his face softened a lot, "I don't know what she likes to use Ye Zi, I just feel that the food made in the small kitchen in her palace is full of grass and trees, and it really smells good, which is different from others."

"That's right." Yun Rong heard Xuan Ling say the same thing, and couldn't help laughing, "I think the bamboo leaves are too fine, and the reed leaves are always used on rice dumplings. I'm used to the smell, so I want to use plantain leaves as a cushion for fresher ones." Steam a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus and steam new chestnut flour cake."

Wei Lin checked the pulse for Xuan Ling, and replied: "Everything is fine, Your Majesty, just don't be too tired. This year's weather is not good, and your Majesty's staying up too late will hurt your health. My minister will give you some prescriptions for recuperation. It is good for the emperor to eat on time."

Xuan Ling nodded, "Wen Shichu has resigned. Apart from Lu Lin, your medical skills are not bad at the Imperial Hospital."

Wei Lin bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." He turned his head, smiled and said to Hu Yunrong: "I have something to say, I wonder if your mother will listen to it?"

Hu Yunrong smiled all over her face, playing with a shining pigeon's blood ruby ​​on the armor of her little finger, looked him in the eyes and said: "Since my cousin praises you, you just say so."

Wei Lin lowered his hands and said: "Mother Cai just mentioned cooking food with banana leaves. Everyone thought that banana leaves are only for viewing. In fact, they are also very good for medicine. The taste of plantain is sweet, light, and cold in nature. It is said in "Materia Medica" that it can cure heartburn." Fever, liver heat generates wind, relieves restlessness and heat, and is effective for fever, edema, beriberi, carbuncle, and burns."

Xuan Ling was thoughtful, "Chunyuan's physique is dry and hot, so it can be seen that her unique mind can also preserve her health, which is excellent."

Wei Lin apologized and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is true. It's just that plantains are cold in nature. It's okay to eat less, but pregnant women should not touch them lightly, because plantains, like peach kernels, safflower and other medicines, have the effect of dispelling blood stasis and reducing swelling. Although the effect of safflower is not as obvious as that of safflower, if steamed, its medicinal power will slowly penetrate into the food, and it will hurt the body over time."

Hu Yunrong was slightly startled, and immediately reprimanded with a straight face: "It's just a compliment from the emperor, don't be alarmist. It's just plantain, if it's really poisonous, why would Empress Chunyuan dare to eat it?"

Wei Lin hurriedly said respectfully: "My lady, don't get angry. What I said was only that pregnant women should use it with caution. The capital is cold, and people in Beijing seldom eat plantains, so often even the doctors don't know the medicinal properties of plantains. And this minister is young. When I traveled to the bitter and hot places in the south, the local mountain people knew this, and it is really not alarmist."

Hu Yunrong was slightly taken aback, with an unconcealable panic in her expression, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, Imperial Physician Wei said that it should be used with caution by pregnant women, but Qiong Luo is serving Empress Chunyuan when she is pregnant, so what she sees is used by the Empress If the plantains are eaten and steamed, it must be when the queen is pregnant with Liujia. This..." Her face became even paler, "I heard the rumors in the palace from my mother that the prince born by Queen Chunyuan did not survive, and the body With bruising scars."

Xuanling's brows were tightly knit into the word "Chuan", as if there were unbearable painful memories tangled between his brows, his soft voice was like a sleepy whisper, "That child was born without breath, his whole body was cold, and he had The bruised and purple scar is very pitiful. He is in my arms, breathless, as cold as a piece of ice, and my heart is as cold as a piece of ice, no matter how I hold him, I can't warm him. The imperial doctor told me, the child He was weak in the mother's womb, and at the same time he was frightened, so he died in the womb with blue spots on his body. All the frights he suffered were because the deposed concubine Gan and the deposed concubine Miao coveted the posthumous position. It was humiliation that made Chun Yuan unable to concentrate on raising the baby. That child is too innocent..."

"The emperor's condolences." Zhen Huan comforted softly, "Your Majesty, don't always keep the sad things in your heart in your heart, so as not to make the dragon feel uneasy." She winked, and Jinxi understood, and brought a bowl of almond tea that had been prepared long ago. On the table, Zhen Huan said softly again: "Sweet food can relieve your heart and mind, the emperor will take a bite."

When Xuan Ling saw the almond tea, his expression became more gloomy and sad, "This almond tea was also Chun Yuan's favorite when he was alive." Jinxi was afraid of making Xuan Ling sad, so she hurriedly said, "This almond tea is cold, and the servant will go Get another snack."

Xuan Ling took it lightly, staring at the slightly steaming milky white in a daze, the hot air puffed on his face, and there was deep grief and longing, "In the past in Zhaoyang Palace, Chun Yuan liked to sit in fine weather. Drinking this bowl of almond tea under the long window, she doesn't like luxury by nature, and even likes this common and common dessert. Zhaoyang Palace uses light blue soft smoke, as thin as a cicada's wing Normally, the sunlight falls on her who is sitting by the window, as if the sunlight is streaming out of her clothes." Holding almond tea in one hand, he lightly brushed the soft smoked window screen of Yiyuan Hall with the other, and said bewilderedly: " That’s the color.” Everyone didn’t dare to speak out to persuade them. After a long time, Xuan Ling took a sip and said slowly, “Even the taste is exactly the same as before, with a slightly bitter taste and a sweet aftertaste.”

"Sweet almonds are soaked in hot water, add a pinch of furnace ashes, put them in water and wait for them to cool, pinch and peel them, rinse them with clean water, and then measure them in clean water, and grind them with water like the method of grinding tofu. Squeeze the juice with a silk bag to remove the slag, and use the juice Seasoned, boiled, add white sugar frosting to eat hot, or mix with milk, with sesame, rose, sweet-scented osmanthus, medlar, cherry and other condiments. Empress Do not like sweet food, in addition to sweet almonds, also add a little The skin is bitter almonds, so it is slightly bitter in the mouth, and the aftertaste is sweet." The voice was heavy and slightly astringent, slowly speaking like a few treasures, but it was Concubine Shu who had been sitting by the side.

Xuan Ling nodded and said, "Yes. Chun Yuan taught you how to make almond tea back then, and Yi Xiu also learned it."

Concubine Shu's voice was cold, showing a hint of sadness, "Yes. Later, Empress Chunyuan became pregnant, and all food and beverages were provided by her own sister. At that time, the imperial concubine had checked before she could enter." Concubine Shu walked in, served almond tea gently After sniffing, he raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, this almond tea is a good product for nourishing and prolonging life, but if it is not used properly, it can also be a sharp weapon for killing people."

Xuan Ling didn't feel pale, "What?"

Yun Rong snickered, then said with a stern face: "Ms. Concubine Shu, what does this mean?! Wei Lin, come and taste it!"

"Zhaoyi misunderstood, auspicious!"

When Ji Xiang heard the sound, he went to the hall, holding a small white porcelain bowl of Eight Immortals lotus flower on the red lacquer mother-of-pearl plate in his hand. The hot air in the bowl was wafting up and fragrant. It was a bowl of almond tea.Ji Xiang brought it to Xuan Ling, and Concubine Shu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, have a taste. How is this bowl of almond tea different from Cai Jinxi's bowl just now?"

Xuan Ling didn't know what to do, but Concubine Shu was always safe and dignified, so Xuan Ling didn't ask any more questions. He raised the silver spoon and took a sip of each to taste carefully, then shook his head, indicating that there was no difference.Concubine Shu said again: "Doctor Wei try."

Wei Lin couldn't refuse, so he had to take a spoonful to drink each. He frowned and tasted for a long time, as if he was not sure, he tasted it again.After a while, feeling confident, Wei Lin said: "Reporting to the emperor, Cui Shun's system is made with bitter almonds, while the bowl brought by Concubine Shu has a little peach kernels added. The bitterness of the two is similar. If it is not fine I can't tell, I can't tell the difference."

Concubine Shu opened the bowl, and said solemnly: "The emperor is used to drinking almond tea and can't tell the difference. If it's not a doctor, how can he tell?" She pointed to the almond tea on the auspicious plate and asked Wei Lin, "What if
