The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi
Chapter 227: Eating melon seeds and listening to gossip
Thinking about what she said unintentionally that day, he actually left her alone in Qingxi Palace without coaxing her or listening to her concerns.
Why do you always hurt her?
Li Dequan came back to report and walked into the imperial study, where he saw Kangxi sitting alone on the dragon throne, staring blankly with a piece of paper in his hand.
The whole person exuded an aura of decadence, which scared him so much that he dared not make a sound.
Just the sound of the door being pushed open has awakened the person who was lost in thought.
"what happened?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and he took the cold tea beside him and drank it directly.
Li Dequan wanted to persuade him, but before he could say anything, the tea bowl was put down.
"Your Majesty, Lord Soetu is waiting outside and wants to express his gratitude in person."
Kangxi said nothing, slowly packed up the letter, stood up and walked to the secret compartment to put the letter in, but when he opened it, the letter fell to the ground with a bang.
Li Dequan tried to hold back his laughter.
In the past, Li Dequan was the one who handled these things, and he opened them very carefully every time.
He had wanted to remind the emperor just now, but he moved too quickly and he was too late.
Kangxi was not angry, but he did not expect that the two of them would exchange so many letters.
The sadness and grief I felt just now were completely smoothed away when I saw the words above: Xuanye, come back for dinner soon! Xuanye, I want to eat candied haws! Xuanye Xuanye, I miss you!
He squatted down, sorted the letters one by one, then walked to the bed in the hall, opened the letter on it and put it inside.
Li Dequan wanted to go over to help, but seeing the emperor's cautious look, he slowed down his pace.
It’s better not to touch that ancestor’s things. Even though he was the one who put them there, if they are damaged, his life will not be enough to compensate for it.
"Call in!"
Sitting back on the dragon throne, Kangxi regained his cold and stern imperial demeanor.
"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty!"
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, he was not as respectful as the secret guard had said. There was no sign of any flaws at all.
After receiving the oral order, Soetu thought that the emperor was trying to save his face because he had embarrassed him in front of the court officials yesterday.
But at this moment, I felt something was wrong, as if they wanted to kill him.
"Soetu, get up. We are a family, there is no need to be so formal."
Kangxi's voice was the same as usual. Soetu quickly stood up and saw that his expression was the same as before, so he felt relieved.
【I think it was just his illusion.】
"Your Majesty, I thank you!"
Harigana was woken up not long after she slept on Kangxi. She still had to eat medicinal food, three meals a day, and she couldn't miss any.
After taking another walk around the courtyard of Qingxi Palace and visiting Bao Bao and Bei Bei, Kangxi went to the Imperial Study.
"Dulan, bring me a tinderbox."
After confirming that Kangxi would not come back, Harigana trotted to the study, asking Dulan to get something as he walked.
He took the tinder and lit it without even opening it.
Looking at the envelope burned to ashes, she smiled with satisfaction.
"My Lady, do you want to hear the secrets that this servant has uncovered?"
Dulan walked up to her, her eyes and face full of gossip.
At first she didn't like the palace, but she liked her own princess, so even if she didn't like it, she would go out to make friends with the palace maids and eunuchs under Su Rina's preaching.
As the head maid of Qingxi Palace, naturally people would follow her wherever she went.
So much so that Dulan can now be said to be the gossip expert in the entire palace.
There are a few people who are on good terms with her who come to tell her the gossip whenever they have nothing to do.
It’s pretty good, there’s always endless melons to eat in Harigana every day.
"Talk, talk! I'm so bored!"
The two little ones sleep a lot, and she can't keep staring at the two sleeping children.
Sketchbooks can help kill time, but they are nowhere near as exciting as ready-made gossip.
He sat back on the couch, melon seeds in his hand, waiting for Dulan to tell a joke.
The corner of Dulan's mouth twitched. She had only said a few words, but looking at Harigana's expression, she felt as if she would talk to the point of exhaustion.
Especially the way he's cracking melon seeds in his hand with a teacup beside him, it doesn't seem to match no matter how you look at it.
"My lady, please be careful."
Dulan reminded her softly, but her beautiful princess was so excited that she couldn't hear anything.
"Sit down, here! Eat and talk!"
A handful of melon seeds was stuffed into Dulan's hand.
There was a square opposite the hospital where Harigana lived in her previous life. When she was not reading, she often stared at the square in a daze.
There are parents bringing their children to roller skate in the square, and there are also various amusement equipment.
At first she longed for the pirate ship and the Ferris wheel.
Later, she stared at the old men and women in a daze.
It wasn't because they were free, but because the expressions they spoke were very rich and she wanted to know what they were saying.
I asked the nurse to buy me a telescope so I could watch them making faces and whispering to each other, and I even wanted to learn lip reading.
She just didn't learn lip reading, so she came here directly.
"Your Majesty, this morning when I was going to the Imperial Household Department, a young maid came up and mysteriously pulled me to the corner. I thought something big had happened. But guess who it was?"
Dulan is also a talented person who can provide emotional value. This question made Harigana want to get him so badly.
"Whose? Could it be that person's?"
She just said it casually, but the two words referred to the Empress Dowager, and both of them knew it.
Du Lan's eyes widened, and she quickly placed the melon seeds on the table, giving a thumbs-up: "My Lady, you are truly a master of strategy right now."
Harigana was stunned. What happened to the Empress Dowager?
Du Lan did not delay any longer and leaned close to her ear and said, "A few days ago, that person was not feeling well and actually interrupted Doctor Zhao to see him.
Doctor Zhao wrote out a prescription, but the man then asked his own imperial physician to take his pulse again to confirm that the prescription was correct before he took the medicine.
It's just that there's a lot of coptis root in it, and the person who ate it vomited several times, and the coptis root turned waxy yellow."
"what?"
Harigana was surprised. He didn't know how much Coptis chinensis Zhao Rongxi had put in the drink to make people vomit.
She wasn't talking nonsense, she really admired the ancient people's ability to drink medicine.
Ya swallowed the bitter medicine mouthful by mouthful with a small spoon without blinking.
She really doesn't understand.
When eating, we take small sips to look good, but why should we look good when taking medicine?
Moreover, Coptis chinensis is included in almost all prescriptions for relieving heat, but the amount is not large, and it is indeed very bitter.
But this was the first time she heard that something could make people vomit.
It would be fine for others, but that old lady is already in her seventies or eighties. She takes more medicine than she drinks water. How could she vomit?
Therefore, the only explanation is that Zhao Rongxi increased the dosage of the medicine, and the Empress Dowager could not hold it back, so she vomited.
