Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"My dear minister, how do you think we should deal with this matter?" Emperor Zheng'an asked Yaoyaozu.

Rongyaozu pondered for a long while, then answered carefully: "In theory, how His Royal Highness Prince Chen manages his fiefdom is his business. Although what he does in his fiefdom only affects the people in his fiefdom and his own reputation, the whole world belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. The people in His Royal Highness Prince Chen's fiefdom are also your Majesty's people. His Royal Highness Prince Chen's reputation is also your Majesty's reputation. Your Majesty has always ruled the world with benevolence, and will never let his people suffer. Isn't Chen Wang's behavior a loss of face for Your Majesty in front of the world? Now the people are extremely resentful, and most of the scholars and officials hate Chen Wang's actions and criticize him. There is even a folk song circulating in the market."

"What ballad?"

Rongyaozu repeated the ballad.

After hearing this, Emperor Zheng'an became angry and his face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, this folk song has spread all over the country. The people are very disappointed with His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Even the officials are disappointed with His Royal Highness Prince Chen... Your Majesty, you should make plans early."

Emperor Zheng'an knew exactly what this plan was.

When Ye Feng was in the capital, he had many concerns and was restricted everywhere. Now that his grandson has left the capital, perhaps he can...

He frowned deeply and paced back and forth in the imperial study for several times, with a fierce struggle in his heart.

"My dear minister, the 200,000 troops in the capital are still in the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo. Although I have been slowly taking back the power in his hands over the years, but..."

As if knowing his concerns, Rong Yaozu reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, most of the Imperial Guards are now under your control. Although part of the garrison troops in the suburbs of Beijing are still in the hands of the Duke of Zhenguo, as far as I know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already placed a lot of people in the 150,000 garrison troops, and the Duke of Zhenguo's control over this army is no longer as strong as before. Moreover, Your Majesty can also take this opportunity to test the waters and try it out..."

Emperor Zheng'an's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, any subsequent actions you take against Prince Chen will be in accordance with the will of the people. Your Majesty, the people of the world are on your side. Even the Duke of Zhenguo may not dare to risk the disapproval of the world."

"You mean just go with the flow?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Zheng'an's eyes flickered: "My dear, this is not something you would say."

"Haha, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty. I am just a rough man, and I cannot understand all these twists and turns. These are all told to me by Yu Yanlang, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy."

"Yan Lang?" A faint smile gradually appeared on the old face of Emperor Zheng'an, "This kid has not studied in vain."

"The Yu family holds a high status among the world's students. With their firm support, Your Majesty can give it a try! We, your subjects, swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death!"

"Okay! Let's give it a try!"

Xilin County, Lingxia Village.

Lu Ke'er sat in the yard, with several large and small winnowing baskets on the ground, on which freshly washed yellow cabbage, chopped green radishes and cucumbers were hung to dry. Today was a sunny day, so she was going to make some pickles.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Lu Mingxi squatted beside her and watched her set up a table, put a cutting board and knives on it, and prepare jars and cans of various sizes.

"I'll make you some pickled vegetables."

Lu Ke'er washed her hands and began to prepare the ingredients.

"Sour cabbage?" Little Douding immediately thought of the delicious pickled fish and asked excitedly, "Is it the same pickled cabbage as in pickled fish?"

"Yes, Xiaoxi is really smart."

Ji was surprised: "Ke'er, you can also make sauerkraut?"

"Sauerkraut is not difficult to make." Lu Ke'er smiled lightly, and by the way, she popularized some things about sauerkraut to the two people. "Sauerkraut is cheap and can be found on the dining table of every household. Everyone knows that sauerkraut can stimulate the appetite and improve digestion. But many people don't know that sauerkraut is made from cabbage that has been fermented for a period of time. It contains many beneficial bacteria that are good for human health, so it can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the intestines, adjust the intestinal flora, and prevent enteritis and colitis. Sauerkraut is also effective in preventing obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and digestive system cancers."

Ji's eyes widened: "This is not pickled cabbage, it's a good medicine, right? Although I don't understand many words, I understand that pickled cabbage is good for the body."

"Haha!" Lu Ke'er laughed, "Mom, that's true, but everything has its limits. Although eating sauerkraut is good for the human body, you have to eat thoroughly pickled sauerkraut because it contains nitrites, which are harmful to the body and contain carcinogens."

“Cancer?”

"It will cause a serious disease that is difficult to cure. Moreover, sauerkraut that is not pickled thoroughly can easily cause poisoning."

After understanding what he said, Ji suddenly became nervous: "Is it so serious? And poisoned? Then...then we should not eat it."

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll pickle the sauerkraut thoroughly."

Lu Ke'er moved quickly, quickly putting all the chopped cabbage into the basin, sprinkled salt on it, and rubbed the cabbage and salt together with her hands, and the cabbage became soft and wilted and water came out. Then, she stuffed the softened cabbage and the water into a clean and dry ceramic pot, filled it up, covered it with a lid, and placed the ceramic pot in a cool corner where the sun could not reach.

"Is that all?" Ji was surprised.

"Well, you can eat it after ten or twenty days. During this time, you can't open the lid. Wait for it to ferment."

Then she made pickled cucumbers and pickled radishes.

"Sister, when can I eat?" Lu Mingxi looked at the row of jars and cans in the corner, trying hard to swallow his saliva.

"Little greedy cat, you want to eat right away?" Lu Ke'er scratched his little nose and said with a smile, "You have to wait for a while before you can eat these pickled vegetables. But, I can make you something else delicious at noon."

"What's delicious?"

"Millet cake."

You can use flour, rice flour, or sweet potato flour to make thousand-layer cake. After buying some flour and adding some red dates and other ingredients, Lu Keer prepared to steam red date thousand-layer cake for her family.

First, make red date water. The method is very simple. Remove the core of the red dates, boil them with maltose and water until the red dates are soft, and then filter them to get red date water. Unfortunately, there is only maltose at home, not brown sugar. Lu Keer thought of her sugar-making plan again, and secretly thought that she had to find time to discuss it with Rong Zhixing.

After the red date water is prepared, sift the flour or cassava flour, add the red date water in batches and mix well to make a fine powder paste without particles. Then use a ready-made ceramic bowl with a large bottom plate as a mold, apply some oil on the bowl wall to prevent sticking, put it in a steamer to preheat it slightly, and then keep it on high heat. After pouring the first layer of powder paste, cover it and steam it for a few minutes. After the powder paste solidifies and the color becomes transparent, add the second layer of powder paste, continue steaming until it solidifies and becomes transparent, and then add the third layer... In this way, layer by layer, after steaming and cooling, a glutinous and fragrant thousand-layer cake is made.

"Wow--" When the cut thousand-layer cake was brought out of the kitchen, the tempting sweet aroma emanated and penetrated into everyone's nose.

"It smells so good!" The little kid took a deep breath and couldn't wait to reach out to take the beautiful mille-feuille on the plate.

"Xiao Xi, be careful, it's still hot." Lu Ke'er hurriedly stopped the little kid and moved the plate away.

"Sister, it's okay. Let me blow on it." The little kid pouted his little lips and blew air at the plate.

Lu Ke'er shook her head in amusement, turned around and took some grains to feed the two pigeons.

She built a simple pigeon shed on a tree in the yard. The two little pigeons stayed there for a few days and gradually got used to the environment of the Lu family.

"Gugu, gugu..."

Master, this millet is not tasty.

Little Black and Little White pecked and complained.

"You have food to eat but you still complain about this and that?" Lu Ke'er was very suspicious whether she had bought two uncles.

"Coo, coo, coo." Xiao Hei called.

Really, the grass seeds we ate in the mountains before were more delicious than this.

"Coo, coo." Xiaobai also echoed.

Lu Ke'er seemed to be thinking about something.

"Did you eat that grass seed until you were caught?" she asked.

"Coo coo." Yes.

Thinking that the two little guys also had spiritual energy, Lu Ke'er had a bold guess.

Could it be that because they have been eating spiritual food for a long time, their bodies have changed and become smarter than their peers?

"Where does the grass grow?" she asked.

"Cuckoo, cluck."

In the mountains.

"Luyun Mountain?" Lu Ke'er nodded the two little guys' heads and said, "When I am free one day, take me to that place to have a look."

"Coo, coo, coo..." The two little guys blinked their cunning little eyes and whispered to Lu Ke'er.

Master, the food you gave us these past two days was not tasty, and we didn't have enough to eat every day. We are worried that we won't have the strength to fly to that place.

Lu Ke'er was so angry that she laughed.

"You two still dare to threaten me?"

"Gugu, gugu..."

Master, if we could have some of the thousand-layer cake you steamed today, maybe we would have some strength.

"So you want to eat thousand-layer cake." Lu Ke'er said with a smile, "It's not impossible. But I don't keep idle pigeons here."

After glaring at them, Lu Ke'er decided to fulfill their little wish. She turned around to get the mille-feuille and found that the little kid was running excitedly towards his room with the cooled mille-feuille.

"Big brother, big brother, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!" He rushed to the bedside, held the thousand-layer cake in front of Ye Feng who was lying on the bed like offering a treasure, and shouted, "Big brother, look, this is the thousand-layer cake my sister made!"

The handsome young man on the bed lay motionless, as if he didn't hear his words at all.

"Big brother, smell it, doesn't it smell good?" The little kid handed the thousand-layer cake to Ye Feng's nose.

Ye Feng remained motionless and showed no reaction.

The little kid didn't care whether he responded or not and continued talking to him.

These days, he didn't even pay much attention to his favorite children Xiao Pa, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. He ran to Ye Feng's bed every day to chat with him, regardless of whether he could hear him or not or whether he could respond.

"Big brother, can you please wake up soon? You have slept for a whole day..." He counted on his fingers, "One, two, three, four, five...ah, you have slept for five days."

"Meow..." Outside the door, Xiaopa jumped in on tiptoeing on his broken leg.

"Big brother, look, even Xiaopa can get up and move around, why haven't you woken up yet?" Lu Mingxi pouted and gradually felt sad.

"Sister, why hasn't big brother woken up yet?" Lu Mingxi asked Lu Ke'er who followed in.

Lu Ke'er frowned slightly and looked at the young man on the bed, a faint light flashing in her phoenix eyes.

In fact, according to the boy's physical recovery, he should have woken up two days ago. But...

She sighed and whispered softly: "This big brother may not want to wake up yet."

"Why?" Little Douding was very confused. "If he keeps sleeping, he won't be able to see many beautiful things, nor will he be able to eat many delicious foods!"

"Yes, our Xiaoxi is the one who thinks things through." Lu Ke'er touched the little kid's head and chuckled, "This big brother is not as smart as Xiaoxi."

"Well, he's so stupid." The little kid was very happy that there was someone dumber than him, and he instantly felt that his image had become taller.

After a second thought, he felt sympathy for Ye Feng again: "Big brother is so stupid, no wonder he keeps sleeping and won't wake up no matter how we call him! Doesn't he understand what we say?"

Lu Ke'er sighed inwardly.

This young man seems to have a story.

I just don’t know what he has experienced and why he subconsciously chooses to avoid waking up?

…………

"Mom, mom..." The little hands stretched forward hard, trying to grasp the tenderness in front of them.

"Xiao'er, my child, live well." The beautiful young woman had tears in her eyes. She gazed at the little child who stretched out his hand to her reluctantly. Her charming and graceful figure gradually disappeared in the air, and her gentle and affectionate words still echoed in the air: "Xiao'er, mother is so happy to bring you into this world. It's a pity that mother can no longer accompany you. You must live well, and live well with this part of mother..."

Suddenly, the scene changed, and a man in a brocade robe and jade belt, as gentle as jade, hugged the already cold young woman and burst into tears: "Shi'er, don't leave me, don't! If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have had this child! Shi'er, why do you ignore your own health and would rather have this child than treat it properly..."

The man turned around and faced the little child, his eyes filled with hatred and anger: "It's you, you killed your mother! Why were you born, why were you born?!"

The scene changed again.

The handsome man in a bright yellow dragon robe picked up the lonely child and sighed, "Xiao'er, follow Grandpa Emperor from now on. Don't blame your father, he is very sad..."

"Grandpa Emperor, was it Xiao'er who killed my mother?" The little child grew up gradually, and he raised his little head and asked.

"No, there was someone else who killed your mother."

"But they all said that it was Xiao'er who killed my mother. Even my father said so."

"Your father is confused. Don't believe his nonsense. Xiao'er, the emperor only has you. You must be good and be an excellent crown prince. Don't let the emperor down..."
