The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

While pondering, Mrs. Chen had already personally led that Imperial Doctor Hu from the imperial hospital into the boudoir.Feng's, Chen's and the big maids in the room avoided going out, leaving only two young girls who didn't leave their heads to serve the tea.

Doctor Hu sat sideways on a small bed in front of the bed, put his hand on the second sister's wrist, concentrated on the examination for a few breaths, then touched his head, and asked the second sister to stick out her tongue to have a look.Yin smiled and said: "It's just an external sensation and internal stagnation, and I caught some wind and cold occasionally. I was frightened again, and I seemed to be exhausted. It's not a serious illness, just take two doses of medicine and it will be fine."

After a pause, he smiled and said: "The diet must be lighter. It would be better if you can calm down and starve for two meals."

After all, he wrote a prescription with a pen and ink.When Mrs. Chen took it and took a closer look, he saw that compared with the previous doctor's prescription, there were a few more medicines for calming the nerves and Qi, and a few more strong medicines, and the weight was also reduced by two points compared with the previous one. .Doctor Hu said with a smile: "My sister is strong and strong. If you take this prescription, you will be cured in three to five days. Just one point, my sister is too young, and she needs to be comforted by her family. Just a little bit."

There is a saying that the extreme of wisdom will be hurt, and the deep love will not last.The story of the second sister's witty battle with bandits at the Lantern Festival and her coincident return to Sanchui has already spread throughout the capital.Because the events of the night were full of twists and turns, twists and turns, and it involved today's sages and princes, it was really interesting to talk about, not to mention that the tourists at the Lantern Festival passed on word of mouth after returning home, even those storytellers and opera singers had to make up stories. Some tricks to sing about.Imperial Physician Hu works in the Imperial Hospital, so he is naturally more informed than others.How could he not know about these anecdotes that are well known in the streets and alleys and related to the royal family.

Imperial Physician Hu had also thought before that the second sister must be a young and precocious master with such courage and articulateness at such a young age.But today, after checking the pulse rate, I will know that it will be a waste of time and energy if you wake up too early, and it may not be a good thing.

Mrs. Chen listened to Dr. Hu's suggestion, and cupped his hands in gratitude unconsciously.Regarding the matter of the second sister, I asked some home maintenance tips.Imperial Physician Hu was ordered by the Crown Prince to come here to show kindness to his son, so naturally he knew everything about Mrs. Chen.The two of them came and went and exchanged a lot of pleasantries. After three rounds of tea, Imperial Physician Hu took his leave on the grounds that he would return to the Imperial Hospital.

Let's say here that everyone in Chen's family got the doctor's order from Hu Tai-doctor - taking medicine according to the prescription and needless to say, it is understandable that the diet is bland.After all, the second sister has a stuffy nose and a lot of coughing and wheezing, and she can't eat meaty and greasy food.The porridge and side dishes are also dealt with.

But the order to eat two meals quietly made the second sister really overwhelmed - she was already in a bad mood, and she didn't give her food, so the feeling of suffering was not to be mentioned.

The second sister in this room was screaming in agony, her stomach was empty, her eyes were dim, her stomach was screaming, her whole body was sore and weak, she was groggy, and she didn't know if she was hungry or sick.After taking a few more decoctions prescribed by Dr. Hu, the coughing and wheezing stopped in the past two days, and even the fever subsided.Happily, Mrs. Chen and others shouted Bodhisattva in their mouths, and even more regarded the doctor Hu's explanation as a standard—it was because they felt sorry for the second sister, and they just wanted to have a quiet meal, and now they don't care about the second sister's acting like a coquettish fool Crying hungry, he insisted on cutting off the second sister's meals, and still gave some rice soup to eat every day.

The second sister's teeth were itchy with hatred, she didn't dare to say anything, but she secretly cursed that doctor Hu, Hu Zi, who was so indifferent to human affairs, that he changed the way to toss people.Because he thought that Doctor Hu was originally sent by the prince, even the prince cursed in a low voice.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was secretly scolded by the second sister did not know the reason for this.In the past few days, because of the case of Feng Siguaizi, there are quite a few officials in the imperial court who have been instigated by someone to impeach him for being lax in his family, so that the rogues in the market dare to use the holy name to bully the villagers, fish and meat people, Abducting and trafficking people, while impeaching some ministers in the court for accepting bribes, flouting the laws of the country, and even selling officials and nobles, and using their hands... It seems that the latter has nothing to do with him, but in fact, those who are impeached by officials are all members of his family, or were recommended by him The courtiers, all kinds of measures made the crown prince overwhelmed, and he seemed to have no time to deal with it.

The prince knew that the matter about Feng Si was just an introduction, and even those courtiers who impeached his subordinates for taking bribes were definitely not loyal and just.After all, the court situation and current affairs are like this, and the attitude towards veterans is even more tolerant and tolerant. If you don’t know how to live in harmony, you may not even be able to do things—in the eyes of the crown prince, if an official can’t even do things well No matter how beautiful the reputation is, it is just a stinky and hard latrine stone.

It would be better not to have him.

Besides, even if we don't talk about this dynasty, from ancient times to the present, how many virtuous ministers are there who can really do their best?

Therefore, the prince didn't take those papers that impeached his courtiers for corruption and bribery seriously.His Highness the Crown Prince's heart is like a mirror. The reason why these speech officials—or the people behind them, made an attack at this time is to tarnish his name and break his arm.It would be best to make the Holy Majesty disappointed in him, as long as he, the prince, loses His Majesty's favor, the remaining younger brothers will be even better off.

So the turmoil in the past few days is not so much that someone took the opportunity to make trouble, but it is better to say that his younger brothers are contributing to the flames, and they are happy to see it succeed.Although the courtiers who supported the prince reacted quickly and found the weaknesses of the other princes to fight back, they lost the opportunity after all.It would have left the impression of being "overwhelmed" and "overwhelmed" by the sage and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

Just like the principle of ants breaking a dike, a mad dog barking is nothing, but if there are too many barking mad dogs, even if they can't bite people, it will make people angry.If you lose your vigilance because of this, and if you don't check for a while, you will be calculated by others, then it will be bad.

When the prince thought of this, he pressed his hand between his brows wearily.Duanran sat in front of the case, unexpectedly had the illusion of being surrounded by enemies.After thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing at myself, so in the position of prince, one must guard against the unpredictable of His Majesty's Sacred Heart, and one must guard against the wolfish ambitions of the brothers. It is also decidedly unstable.

In this way, it was really not easy for him to be the crown prince for thirty years safely.

The crown prince was just taking care of himself to explain himself, and the crown prince's concubine Yuan came in with her close maid.Put a red lacquer food box filled with gold inlaid with mother-of-pearl and painted landscape figures on the table.Open the lid of the box, and take out a steaming bowl of chicken skin soup with shrimp balls, a plate of chicken marrow and bamboo shoots, a plate of rouge goose breast, a plate of white willow sprouts mixed with tofu, and a bowl of Biyingying He smiled and said to the prince, "I saw that His Highness didn't move his chopsticks much at noon, so I think the food didn't suit the taste. I cooked it myself. Your Highness should try some."

The crown princess Yuan Shi had a very good appetite when she was in her boudoir.His father, Yuan Shaowei, also likes this, so the father and daughter often cook and cook some new dishes.Yuan Shaowei was also impeached by some idle officials and censors because of this matter, saying that he "disrespects being an official".Even if not everyone in the court knew about this matter, eight out of ten people knew about it.

So when Yuan said that he cooked the food himself, he must have cooked it himself.It wasn't made by those concubines who flattered and invited pets under the guise of cooks.

Since it is the wish of the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness must accept it.I ate a bowl of rice with soup.The Crown Princess stood by, peeping at the Prince's expression, and spoke some words of remonstrance in a leisurely manner.Just now I said that thanks to the Chen family's behavior of breaking the kidnappers, Zhao Bihe led the brocade army to search the kidnappers' dens and rescued countless boys and girls. This is also a good thing for countless living people.At least the common people are grateful for His Highness's kindness, so there is no need to listen to some rumors from the court.Then a servant girl from Qilanyuan was ordered to pass on the news that Feng Cairen was ill.

Feng Cairen is Feng Meier, the sister of the kidnapper Feng Si mentioned in the previous article.When Feng Meier was favored in the past, she often pretended to be sick to invite favor.The crown prince is not ignorant, but he is willing to play tricks with Feng Meier tacitly.

At this moment, the crown prince was in a fit of anger, just after eating a full bowl of rice and feeling a little looser, Feng Meier came to hit the gun.The prince definitely lost his usual little thought of pity and pity, and his heart felt even more tired.He frowned in displeasure, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Gu is not an imperial physician, since she is sick, Xuan imperial physician is. What do you come to ask Gu again?"

The little girl was speechless when she was asked, so she lowered her head and pretended to be dumb.

The Crown Princess curled her lips indistinctly, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.Seeing that she couldn't please her, the little girl hurriedly kowtowed to retreat.When he was about to get out of the body, he only heard the prince say again: "Wait a minute."

The little girl hurriedly stood there with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes.The prince pondered for a while, and then said: "Since you are sick, you can rest in peace. If you pass on the word of the orphan, there are many nobles in the palace. If you get involved with others, it's not good. It's better to move out and come back when you recover. .”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which immediately frightened the people in the study.The princess was surprised first and then happy, but the little girl was in a daze and didn't know what to do.

For a while, Imperial Physician Hu came back again.The Crown Princess knew about the fact that Dr. Hu was sent by the Crown Prince to Chen's residence to see a doctor.Although he was quite curious about the second sister's fight with the bandits, which was widely rumored in the outside world, the most urgent thing was to arrange Feng Meier well.

He said goodbye to the prince with a smile.Wandering back to the room, I saw the nanny Qin, who couldn't hide the gloating on her face, hurried to the front to beg the princess's instructions.

The Crown Princess smiled and said: "This is the meaning of His Royal Highness, even I can't do anything about it. I have to order the subordinates to be on the job, to prepare all the soft and daily things that Feng Cairen is used to, and send them out together. In order to prevent others from mistakenly thinking that the Crown Prince Your Highness is a mean person who treats concubines harshly."

After a pause, he said again: "When you go to Qilanyuan, remember to comfort Feng Cairen—it's not that His Highness is tired of her, it's just that she is not good, and she might bring others along, that's why she is not allowed in the palace. Yes. Tell her to have a good rest when she is in the other garden, and she will be able to come back when she recovers from her illness."

Nanny Qin stood aside, saying yes with a smile all over her face.He laughed again and said: "This is also the empress's generosity and kindness. If it was someone else, she would have taken advantage of this opportunity to use thunderous means. How can she let her make trouble by taking advantage of her illness and invite pets and flattery."

The Crown Princess still smiled gently, because she said: "I'm not doing it for her, I'm just looking at His Highness. When Shi Rong comes later, I have to comfort him. He is His Highness's baby brother. I grew up with His Highness. Don't give birth to such a person."

Mother Qin is still obedient.He also asked about the little princess from Feng Cairen——

The Crown Princess laughed and said: "She always said that she loves a loving mother and cannot leave her daughter. If that's the case, let the little princess go to the other garden with Feng Cairen. I hope her illness will recover sooner because of this."

Mother Qin was stunned, and quickly smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty is really a charitable person."

The Crown Princess smiled, and said pointedly: "The weather is bad now, so you can tell the servants in the other garden to be careful. If the little Princess falls ill due to poor care, I won't obey."

When Qin Nanny heard the words, she hurriedly smiled and said yes.He only said in his mouth, "Don't worry, Madam, the old slave must have ordered it properly. Don't ask Madam to worry about it."
