79, recipe(1/2)
Empress Dowager Jiang was in a state of suffocation in Ningshou Palace.
Of course, it is true that the old man is sick, but it may not be as serious as she said. The reason why he exaggerates is nothing more than hoping that the emperor will be more filial to let her see her grandson at the age of her.
But the emperor took the child away without saying a word, as if her mother had become a plague god - she was not suffering from tuberculosis!
Empress Dowager Jiang did not blame herself for pretending to be sick, but only blamed the emperor's son for being too cruel. Just because the piece of meat was born by Xia, she ignored everything.
In fact, Empress Dowager Jiang has not decided who to raise Dun Dun. Although her niece is close, Jiang Bilan is too reckless and Jiang Yingyue is too deep, and they are not the most suitable candidate. If possible, she would want to keep Dun Dun in Ningshou Palace. The child is indeed pleasing - but Empress Dowager Jiang also knows that she is so old that she can't afford the hard work of raising children.
I originally wanted to scare Xia and let her act as a blessing without relying on her favor. After the confinement period, she would come to Ningshou Palace seriously for a few days. Empress Dowager Jiang might be kind to her and return the child to her. As a result, the emperor's artificiality made her work was wasted!
Empress Dowager Jiang even believed that this fox spirit would be born to confuse men and would be uneasy during confinement, which made the emperor turn from a filial son to a rebellious son.
Jiang Bilan sat down at her head, holding a bowl of medicine respectfully, "The Queen Mother..."
Empress Dowager Jiang didn't have the heart to drink medicine, so she grabbed the soup bowl with her hands, "Okay, the emperor is gone, who are you pretending to be filial?"
Jiang Bilan was about to cry as soon as she was filial. Is she really filial to be filial? How could she just pretend?
Empress Dowager Jiang saw too many tears from crocodiles. She always didn't believe her performance, so she said lightly: "I'll give up this matter. You are busy with noble people and don't have to come to Ai's palace often in the future."
Jiang Bilan said anxiously: "Then let Xia take the child back?"
Empress Dowager Jiang glared at her, "The person was born from her, not from your stomach. Who stole whom?"
Jiang Bilan didn't feel that there was anything morally unbearable. "After that being said, the ancestors' rules, that children born to low-ranking concubines must be handed over to high-ranking concubines. Although she is now Zhaoyi, she has never been ranked as a concubine. Isn't it more appropriate to be raised by the master of the concubine? She also makes the eldest son more noble."
Queen Mother Jiang didn't hear that she was very uncomfortable. Her child was taken away by Queen Ren and the Queen at the time of birth, so the relationship between mother and son was always bad, and as a result, the niece came to expose the scars in her heart.
But Jiang Bilan didn't feel that she was stepping on the thunder spot at all, and she still said it happily, "Auntie, you were able to hand over the child happily back then, why did she feel reluctant to leave her turn? This Xia family is too pretentious."
Empress Dowager Jiang sternly said: "Shut up!"
This sound was like thunder, and Jiang Bilan subconsciously stopped the sound and said timidly: "Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?"
Empress Dowager Jiang resisted the attack on her and only held her forehead tired, "It's okay, you go back."
Seeing that his aunt issued an order to expel guests, Jiang Bilan had to stand up with grievance and at the same time threw a puzzled glance at Madam Chang beside the bed.
Madam Chang has always loved her the most, so she had to shake her head gently to express her inconvenience to say more.
Jiang Bilan had to leave with doubts.
Madam Chang looked at the back of this petite lady and thought to herself that the imperial concubine not only had an IQ flaw, but also had an EQ flaw. Will the Empress Dowager feel better when she was forced to separate her mother and son in the past?
But Jiang Bilan tried her best to sprinkle salt on her wounds. Even if the empress dowager really had the idea of supporting the Jiang family, it was obvious that her niece was so ruthless and unrighteous, and her thoughts had to be dispelled three parts - do not do to others what she did not want others to do to her. Why didn’t the imperial concubine understand this principle?
Xia Tong sat on the bed for four or five days, and felt that she was about to get smelly and moldy. She couldn't take a shower. She could barely wipe her body with a hot towel. The itchy hair was really unbearable.
In the end, Ping Gu helped her think of a way, saying that there was a kind of fragrant powder that evenly spread on her scalp, and then slowly combed it with a comb to remove dandruff and itchy, and it was not caused by oil and dirt.
Xia Tong then followed the example and asked Chunlan to try it. Sure enough, she felt that her scalp was much looser and faster. Although it was not as clean as washing her hair, it was the best way to relieve discomfort under special circumstances such as confinement.
So she asked Chunlan to comb her hair every morning, and then there was a small kitchen where she stewed black chicken with peanut pig's feet soup or bamboo fungus, in order to urge her to put milk as soon as possible.
But drinking these two things every day is inevitable to get tired of it, so Xia Tong wanted to change his taste in different ways - of course, without affecting parenting.
Because I heard that a fresh pork belly had just been cut in the imperial kitchen, Xia Tong had a sudden idea to make a bowl of pepper pork belly chicken in the kitchen. This is a famous Guangdong dish that has been passed down from ancient times to the present and is also a good thing for milking. It is the most suitable thing for her to drink now.
Chunlan said: "The Empress is still in confinement, then... I will tell them not to put pepper."
Pepper is a milking process.
Xia Tong became anxious when he heard this. How could he not add pepper to pepper? This is like eating hot pot without hot pot base!
But considering his strong desire to breastfeed, Xia Tong had to suppress his strong desire for delicious food and discussed with Chunlan to reduce the amount of salt and salt in the pork belly chicken in half.
Finally, the one presented was a bowl of half-salty and unspicable ghost things. The fragrance was quite fragrant, but I always felt that something was missing. Xia Tong sighed and sneered, feeling that it was not easy to be a mother. She had just been promoted to become a mother and wanted to reincarnate again.
However, when Xia Tong finished drinking half a bowl of pork belly soup, she felt her chest swelling. When she looked down, her front was mostly wet, and she thought it was sweaty. When she twisted the liquid, it was white but not like sweat beads, and there was a faint sweet fragrance. She called out in surprise: "Chunlan, bring Dundu quickly!"
It is much more precious to Xia Tong than a pig-bellied chicken. What makes her even more glad that the child is also very sensible and does not bother her at all. She sucks on her body with relish.
Xia Tong said proudly: "Look, how can you raising a mother be as good as her biological mother."
Chunlan thought to herself that you didn’t see the greed and greedy little master when drinking milk. As long as he shouted that he would be hungry, everyone would come. Several wet ladies secretly became jealous several times in order to compete for merit.
However, in order to avoid dispelling the Empress's enthusiasm, Chunlan decided not to tell her for the time being.
However, Dun Dun was indeed much more honest in Xia Tong's arms. He lay down obediently, unlike being noisy and quarrels at the wet nurse. Maybe it was a natural attraction between mother and son.
When Chunlan was sighing, she saw Xia Tong gasping for a cold breath and grinning her teeth, "Hurry! Take him away from me!"
The little bastard was so energetic that he almost swollen her. Xia Tong felt a faint pain in her chest.
Chunlan hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Empress, are you okay?"
Xia Tong looked down and said, "It's okay."
Fortunately, Dundu didn't have teeth, otherwise he might have already bleeded.
Xia Tong once again lamented the difficulty of being a mother.
Fortunately, the little fat Ding had already eaten and drank enough, and was burping leisurely, so Xia Tong could breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
Just as someone was about to find a clean dress to put on, Qiuju came to report, "Feng Meiren is here."
Feng Yuzhen is getting closer and closer to her now, and she is also free to go in and out in her palace. The guards in Guanju Palace are trained strictly and can even defend a fly. However, when she sees Feng Yuzhen, her eyes are straight and she forgets her job.
Except for Changqing, Feng Yuzhen probably didn't have any fear for the servants in this palace - it happened that Changqing is not here today.
Xia Tong had no choice but to tell her to enter the hall. Fortunately, she was in confinement and could be so generous that she could not dress up or change clothes openly, which was not unethical.
Feng Yuzhen wanted to salute her and asked her to spare her, "All of them are their own sisters, why bother to restrain themselves?"
Feng Yuzhen then bowed slightly and sat on the Grand Master's chair by the window. It seemed that he was talking for a long time.
She looked at Xia Tong and said with envy: "After giving birth to a child, my sister is even more charming, it's really jealous!"
Xia Tong just thought she was flattering and responded with vain, "Is that right?"
Then Chunlan took the small target lens on the dressing table, but she was stunned when she saw it. She thought that her unkempt face would definitely be haggard during the confinement period. Unexpectedly, the person in the mirror had long, black and beautiful hair, her eyebrows were green, her lips were not painted and red, and even her eyes were particularly black and shiny.
Although it is not as delicate and impeccable as Feng Yuzhen, it is another kind of healthier and more ignited beauty.
No wonder Feng Yuzhen was a little jealous, "What precious maintenance recipe did my sister use? She kept it so completely that she could tell her about it."
Xia Tong smiled reservedly, "Look at what you said, it's not that exaggerating."
Of course she would not tell Feng Yuzhen about the effect of the Lingquan water - but the Lingquan water does not seem to have such a magical effect. She also used it before. Although it can enhance breasts and muscles, it shows more like a "pulling seedlings to encourage growth".
It is far less amazing than what you see in the mirror. If you add a point, you will be too fat, and if you lose a point, you will be too thin.
Xia Tong speculated that it should be the combination of Lingquan water and the progesterone in her body, so that the Lingquan was "assimilated" by herself and showed a more harmonious development.
This is a magical discovery.
Seeing that she was too lazy to say more, Feng Yuzhen stopped asking questions. She didn't come for this today. "Although my sister hides so much from me, I don't like to hide my own personalities. I have something to share with my sister."
After saying that, he took out a thin booklet from his sleeve.
Xia Tong originally thought it was a good story and good story book that Feng Yuzhen found from outside for her to enjoy. When she opened it, she found that it was a map similar to the Five Animal Show. Each page had several movements, and it was put together to become aerobics.
But she couldn't understand, "What's the purpose of this?"
Seeing that Chunlan was busy pouring tea and didn't pay attention to this place, Feng Yuzhen quietly said to herself: "This is a formula for reducing vaginal pressure. Women practice frequently, so they can double the joy when they go to the room."
Xia Tong was frightened and hurriedly threw it away.
Feng Yuzhen picked it up carefully, blew the dust on her head, and blamed her, "Sister, why are you ashamed of? You have given birth to a child, don't you know more than me? I found this secret book for you. Haven't I seen many women lose their husband's favor after giving birth, and watched other women climb onto their heads. Isn't it all because of the little things between bed?"
This is the truth. Most women who have given birth to a child have loose skin, not to mention the privacy. Although Xia Tong has not carefully examined it, she also vaguely feels that this is an insurmountable level. Not to mention now, there are signs of urination in the later stages of pregnancy, which shows that this is a force majeure.
She also needs to work harder for sex or for a healthy urinary system.
After thinking about it, Xia Tong still held back the shame and picked up the booklet, blushing and looking at it.
But she also knew that Feng Yuzhen took the initiative to present this precious secret book and must have another plan, so she said straight to the point: "What do you want?"
The rewards received in the past year of entering the palace were almost filled with Xia Tong's small vault. Now he is a veritable rich woman, so it is no problem to buy a mere book.
Feng Yuzhen said angrily: "Sister, am I a vain person?"
Xia Tong thought to himself that you are, but his face is not moving at all.
Seeing her so calm, Feng Yuzhen didn't hide it from her, "Tell the truth, the imperial concubine has always made things difficult for me recently. She has forced me to have no way out, so she has to come and ask my sister for help."
Her hatred with Jiang Bilan has become deep. She had previously performed a dance at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet without telling it. Later, she became a VIP on the Beirong throne and snatched all Jiang Bilan's limelight. How could Jiang Bilan not hate her?
As for the day Xia Tong gave birth, Feng Yuzhen presented the emperor with a cup of tea, but it was just an introduction. Jiang Bilan grasped this matter and thought she had ulterior motives. She always took advantage of the issue when she greeted her. Sometimes she thought she was deducting her monthly salary late, and sometimes she said that she was disrespectful and wanted to pull her out to slap her mouth. Feng Yuzhen was tortured torture.
Xia Tong knew very well that Jiang Bilan was looking for trouble, but Feng Yuzhen might not be very respectful, but she was afraid that being late and talking back was the truth, which made Jiang Bilan furious.
Of course, Xia Tong didn't want to care about this nostalgic business, let alone she was still in confinement, so she couldn't even care about it.
So he said quietly, "I have no choice. Although I have been promoted to Zhaoyi, I am still under the four concubines and have never assisted in the six palaces. You should not dream if you expect me to fight with the imperial concubine."
Feng Yuzhen hurriedly said, "Of course I know my sister's difficulties and don't want to make you embarrassed, but..." She looked at Xia Tong carefully, "If my sister can take me in for a few days, she would say that the prince was noisy and needed someone to take care of her. If the concubine knew about it, she would definitely not come to find my trouble again..."
Xia Tong seemed to be enlightened, and said why Feng Yuzhen was attentive. It turns out that she had the idea that she had made, and she got the moon first with just one move!
Xia Tong admired her ingenuity. By taking care of Dundun, she was able to get close to the emperor while getting close to the little prince - perhaps the future prince, which was indeed a good plan.
Princess Xinyue doesn’t have the complicated brains as much as her!
