Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

The emperor saw that everyone was not interested in talking, so he didn't need to ignore them, so he started eating on the table.The queen mother couldn't eat in one bite, she looked around at everyone, and a good family banquet was like a funeral banquet.

Wan Zhao picked up a piece of stewed duck in sauce and put it in a small celadon dish, covered her mouth and ate a small mouthful, her eyes quietly watching Rou Yan's reaction.That Rouyan took a bowl of chicken shredded white fungus soup and scooped it up for a long time but couldn't eat it, her eyes couldn't stop looking around, she covered her stomach and tried to calm down the discomfort, but she didn't dare to make any big movements.

After a while, the imperial physician arrived, and the original guards were not far away. The masters summoned him, and he arrived in the water pavilion in the time of a cup of tea.

"Master Jiang is here. I see that the younger sisters are rushing to the banquet, and they are in a hurry. They are not very happy at the moment. Go and show them." Wan Zhao smiled and said to Jiang Taiyi.

Physician Jiang understood, so he asked Rouyan for pulse first.Rou Yan was a little flustered before she recovered, she felt even more unhappy when she saw the doctor Jiang asking for her pulse, she said: "I'm fine, please take the pulse of the sister next to me."

"My lord, let Kun often take a look, she may not be very well." Lady Lin frowned and said.Physician Jiang saluted Rouyan, and within a few steps, Kun was always by his side to ask for pulse.

Wan Zhao put down the silver chopsticks, smiled at Rou Yan, "My sister invited a famous doctor to the palace to ask for pulse, I think she is in good health."

Rouyan was sweating a little, so someone brought a round fan of red peony, she picked up the fan and slapped it lightly a few times, and said to Wanzhao: "My sister cares more, my sister is fine."

"I heard that it is a prescription for begging a child, but I don't know if it will work or not? We sisters can borrow it as well."

"Concubine Liu's words are very good. The virtue of a concubine is to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. The Ai family will really be blessed to see who gets pregnant first in the harem." The queen mother said to everyone.

The emperor continued to eat the dish in front of him, and asked Li He to bring the steamed crispy cheese with eight-treasure sugar from a distance to the front. The emperor looked a little happy, and took a small spoon to scoop it up without even raising his eyes.

"I see that my sister's appetite isn't great, so I'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a pulse. Wouldn't everyone be happy if I get good news?" Wan Zhao smiled and said very accommodatingly.

Rouyan's complexion changed, and there was hatred in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "What's wrong with my sister, how can my sister be so lucky when she is young?"

"Why not, I have seen Tong Shi in the past few months, and my younger sister actually accounts for half of it. If there is such a blessing, my younger sister should be the first one."

Wan Zhao secretly smiled inwardly, the rule came into being at some point, if nothing happened in the palace, he would probably recruit her on the seventh day of each month, the fourteenth round of tenderness, and the remaining twenty-eight rounds in sequence.But just in time for one of these three days, Liufu was resting in Cheqiu Pavilion, or Prince Xuan was still discussing state affairs when the cards were turned over, so that day would be a bye. Let it go.

During Liu Fu's recuperation in the palace for a few months, all the concubines took a rest, and finally caught up with Liu Fu to leave the palace and went to other places. Wan Zhao himself was grounded, and Rou Yan was naturally recruited more times than others.

"It doesn't matter if you invite one, if you can conceive, who would dare not respect you?" The queen mother said casually after watching the two fight.

"Yes." Rou Yan said politely.

"What does the emperor think?" The queen mother smiled at the emperor.

The emperor picked up a square towel to wipe his hands, and said with a casual smile: "Whoever is pregnant at this time, it doesn't matter if I let her be the queen." With a sound, he turned his gaze to the water outside the water pavilion.

Physician Jiang gave Kun Changzai a prescription to soothe the nerves, and then went back to Rouyan to ask for pulse.Rou Yan stretched out her bright wrist lazily, and Tai Physician Jiang put the silk silk on her veins and stretched out her hand to touch it.

Doctor Jiang's fingers trembled, his expression panicked, he took a breath, and took his pulse carefully.He bowed and walked in front of the Empress Dowager and knelt down on the ground, saying: "Back to the Empress Dowager and back to the Emperor, Concubine Rong has a slippery pulse, I'm afraid I'm really happy."

"Ridiculous!" The emperor almost spit out the Longjing tea he just drank from his nose. He coughed and pointed at Doctor Jiang.

"Your Majesty's pulse is not quite the same as the usual happy pulse, and I'm not sure about it, even if there is a month, it's very shallow, and my medical skills are poor, it's better to ask other imperial physicians to take the pulse together."

"That's right, our lady has been feeling sick recently, and her stomach feels unwell, I'm afraid she really has it." Shao Rui said happily.

"I feel a little unwell, maybe I hurt something from eating." Rou Yan panicked, she took a hard look at Shao Rui, and hurriedly said.

The queen mother turned from surprise to joy, and said: "Take Tongshi to check, and there are records of menstrual events. If it is true, it is a great joy."

"Have you eaten anything that could hurt you recently?" Doctor Jiang asked.

Rou Yan hesitated to speak, and said: "It's nothing, maybe it's food accumulation."

"What's the discomfort, the empress said in detail."

"What should I say about this? If you know that you have hurt something, you will naturally stop eating it."

"Since the empress has not eaten anything, she is five or six percent sure."

Wan Zhao also smiled and got up to salute, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows: "Going back to the queen mother and back to the emperor, my concubine looked at Tong Shi, and if she said she had a younger sister, she was right, and my concubine congratulated the queen mother and the emperor."

The emperor stared at Rou Yan, his face was gloomy, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, he said solemnly: "You have to look carefully, the royal blood must not be mistaken."

"This, I really think it's wrong, but this pulse is really weird."

"What's wrong, I will absolve you of your innocence."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have heard of a witchcraft of begging for a child that is prevalent in the Chu region. Women fast for three days, use freshly dissected Zihe chariots as medicine, and eat them alive. The ghost's soul is introduced into the woman's womb, and she will soon conceive. And this woman is pregnant with a ghost, and the pulse is different from the usual happy pulse. I have seen it in ancient books, so I dare not make a judgment.”

"Aiya, didn't Concubine Rong just invited a famous doctor from Chu to enter the palace a few days ago, isn't it a doctor but a wizard?" Concubine Quan covered her mouth and said with a surprised expression.

"Sister, this is a big matter, so you have to be careful." Wan Zhao made a gesture of concern, and then saluted the emperor: "Sister Rong Concubine has worked so hard for the emperor, no matter what the result is, the concubine I beg the emperor to take it lightly."

"Concubine Rong, can this happen?" The emperor's expression was not as gloomy as before, and he asked with a contemptuous and disgusted expression.

"Chen, I don't dare to practice witchcraft in the palace. I'm afraid it's just something that hurt me. Recently, I often feel stomach discomfort."

Physician Jiang turned around and said to Rou Yan: "If you dare to ask your mother what kind of food she ate, I can judge easily."

"If you eat the Zihe cart alive, will your stomach be able to bear it? It's really terrible, how can you get your mouth out?"

"Sure enough, it came from the land of the Southern Barbarians, that's how it is."

"I heard that the Chu region advocates witchcraft. The last time Prince Xuan fell ill because he collided with King Yi's summoning of the soul. This family is not a light-saving lamp."

Several concubines couldn't help whispering, nodded, looked at Rou Yan with weird eyes, and showed disgusted expressions.

Rou Yan hurriedly stood up and confessed: "I don't have any, and I don't know what's going on. I really feel that my stomach has been unwell recently, and I occasionally vomit, but it shouldn't be Youxi, let alone a ghost."

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family will come back for a pulse check in a few days. If there is joy, I can't let it go. If I just ate something that is not digestible, it should be fine by then."

Wan Zhao also pleaded for Rouyan: "My sister is probably confused for a while, the capital is no better than Chu, where witchcraft is practiced, and the emperor sees that the Yi family's affection should not be haggled with my sister."

"You are always so soft-hearted and kind. She didn't just enter the palace. How could she not know about the forbidden witchcraft in the palace? She dared to be so presumptuous just because no one in the palace could handle her." The emperor reprimanded.

Rou Yan stared at Wanzhao viciously, and said, "Sister is so cruel, she is in a hurry to convict her if she has nothing to do."

Wan Zhao said calmly, "You are not afraid of the shadow slanting when you are upright. If my sister has not done something, how can she be afraid of others talking about it?"

The emperor said coldly: "Do you have any?"

"Chenqie, Chenqie did invite the masters from Chu, but they only asked for a secret recipe for begging for a child, nothing more." Rou Yan knew that the emperor would have to investigate, so she didn't dare to deny it completely, so she could only do this explain.

"An expert can be a famous doctor or a wizard. What exactly is it? Madam, please explain clearly, so that the concubines can understand." Jiaogui said humanely.

Wan Zhao said: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to go to my sister's palace to search, if there is nothing wrong, then that's the best."

"Concubine Liu's words seem to confirm that Concubine Rong has something wrong." The Empress Dowager said delicately.

Wan Zhao bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "I dare not."

"The Ai family can't be the master, let's see what the emperor wants."

"The queen mother really doesn't need to bother about these juniors. The son will naturally go back and find out, and give the mother an explanation."

Qingyang was so bored that she yawned. Seeing that someone was looking at her at the table, she quickly put away her demeanor and said, "In Qingyang's opinion, what anyone says is meaningless. If you search carefully, there will always be clues, and there will be others later. Take a look at the imperial doctor, maybe it’s because I’m too full to digest, so I’m talking about this for nothing.”

Soon the imperial physicians who came from the Imperial Hospital gathered around Rouyan to ask for pulse, and the leader said: "It is indeed the Huamai, but this pulse is not quite the same as the Ximai. If you don't care about the ghost fetus that Mr. Jiang said, the ministers think it is still a pulse. Injured by diet, due to deficiency of the spleen and stomach."

Rou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded again and again: "Exactly, I had symptoms of stomach discomfort, abdominal pain and nausea a few days ago, but I didn't take it seriously because it wasn't obvious."

Wanzhao stroked her chest, and said with a sigh of relief, "If you say that, my sister just got hurt from eating, and it has nothing to do with being pregnant." She seemed to suddenly think of something, and said to the imperial physicians: "If you eat too much peach jelly, , will you feel unwell?"

"That's right, that's right, I ate a lot of peach gum." Rou Yan didn't care too much, grabbed a life-saving straw to divert her attention, and hurriedly defended to the imperial physicians.

"Peach gum can beautify the skin, nourish the lungs and quench thirst. It's okay to eat less, but if you eat too much, you will have abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and even nausea and dizziness." An imperial physician explained.

Wan Zhao said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "So that's how it is. Bengong watched my sister scrape away half of the peach gum in the palace. Doesn't this way of eating make you sick?"

"You scraped the peach gum in the palace?" The emperor frowned and slapped the table with his palm.

"That's right, my concubine also watched Concubine Rong pick the fruit, and said that the little peaches are not edible, so why not brew wine and invite the emperor to taste it. The empress has a method that no one else has. It can be brewed with peach kernels and a secret recipe." The taste of the wine is unique, just pick one out of ten peaches. When the empress told the concubines, the concubines were very surprised." Jiaogui added.

The emperor's face became even uglier. He pursed his lips, suppressed the anger that was about to get angry, and asked Rou Yan, "Do you know that the peach grove in the palace has an owner?"

Rou Yan was baffled by the question, she didn't know how to answer, so she quickly explained: "The concubine thinks that all the plants and trees in the palace have a share, so it's okay to pick some, I don't know that it belongs to the owner."

"How can you all do so poorly? You don't have to listen to what I said, and the rewards can be picked by others at random, and those in charge don't want their heads!" The emperor got up and walked off the table, carrying a hand, the other hand pointed at everyone and reprimanded.

The Empress Dowager frowned, wondering how the emperor would get angry about such a trivial matter, there was no such movement involving the fake pregnancy witch just now.

Qingyang got up and said: "Brother Huang calm down, thinking that the second elder brother has always been straightforward and generous, and would not care about such trivial matters."

The emperor let out a cold snort, threw off his robe sleeves, and said, "Search the Chuxiu Palace, those servants have been dragged to the Punishment Department for a good trial. Whether Concubine Rong has practiced witchcraft in the palace must be thoroughly interrogated. Concubine Rong is grounded." The matter will be dealt with in the palace after it is found out. Concubine Fu Ning's title and the right to assist the six palaces, all matters in the palace will be handled by Concubine Ning. I also warn you all to stop messing with the empress. If you let me know who will dare If you have nothing to do, go to the Compassionate Ning Palace to gossip and harass your mother to be clean, and go to Yeting by yourself."

"Yes."
