Chapter 443: Elixir
"Eldest sister, Xiao Qi told me in the carriage just now that Lu Yuanpeng's group of dudes joined the army and went to northern Xinjiang! I think they should be among the new troops who were stationed at the frontier when we came back!" Bai Jinzhi's voice was very cheerful. .
"That's right!" Bai Jinse said obediently and cleverly, "When Lu Yuanpeng left, there was quite a commotion. A group of dudes who played with them in the capital were mighty and mighty, and they all ran to the barracks! Later, Shoushan Gong, The commander of the patrol battalion, Fan Yuhuai, and Lord Fan all ran to Lu Xiangfu, begging Lu Xiang to take care of Lu Yuanpeng, and several adults even went to the military camp to pick up their children. Even the daughters of the Bai family went to the battlefield to sacrifice their lives for the country, and the adults are in high positions and eat the taxes and taxes of the people in the world. Could it be that they want to hold their hot-blooded men to embroider flowers at home and get married?"
When Bai Jinzhi heard this, his eyes widened: "How can Lu Wandan say such a thing?"
After thinking about it, Bai Jinzhi felt something was wrong, and frowned: "Why do I think Lu Yuanpeng's words are saying that our daughter of the Bai family should embroider flowers and marry?"
Bai Jinxiu covered her lips with a handkerchief and said with a low smile: "However, Lu Yuanpeng's words changed the attitude of the people in the capital city towards these dudes. Even His Majesty praised them as warm-blooded and good men of the Jin Kingdom. Dude, the flaws do not conceal the virtues."
"Later, those who used force to release people from the military camp and forcibly dragged their children back to the military camp quickly sent their children to the military camp! It was so exhausting that Prime Minister Lu condescended to apologize one by one before." Bai Jinse just remembered that scene. want to laugh.
Although Lu Yuanpeng liked to tease cats and dogs, his nature was not bad, and he was a bit of a child when he was a fool, otherwise Bai Jiaerlang would not have been close to Lu Yuanpeng back then.
Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the small courtyard, Wei Zhong took two quick steps and opened the canopy for Bai Qingyan and his party.
The eldest princess's silver hair was combed meticulously, only a hairpin inlaid with gold and emerald jade was inserted, and she was wearing a summer dress made last year, embroidered with begonia flowers, comfortable and graceful. She was sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, holding a chess piece in her hand, looking down at the chessboard. The very light sun's halo is cast from the gaps in the leaves, reflecting the sweet white glazed vase with a few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the side, which seems to have a hazy halo.
Compared with the last meeting, the Eldest Princess has lost a lot of weight, perhaps because she has been a vegetarian, her cheeks are thinner and her eye sockets are deeper.
Bai Qingyan brought the three younger sisters in. After kowtowing respectfully to the Eldest Princess three times, she stood up and asked, "Greetings to grandma! I heard Grandma Jiang said that grandma is ill. Has grandma ever gotten better!"
The eldest princess put the chess pieces in her hand into the chess box, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did you get injured during the trip to northern Xinjiang? How is Xiaosi's hand?"
"If you go back to grandma, a small injury on the back of your hand will not be a problem!" Bai Jinzhi followed Bai Qing's instructions and returned to the eldest princess, with clear and pure eyes with a smile, as if she was still childish.
The eldest princess looked at Bai Qingyan, and wanted to reach out her hand to call Bai Qingyan to her side, but seeing her in battle armor, thinking of her children and grandchildren, she couldn't lift the hand holding the Buddhist beads with guilt.
The wind blew, the leaves rustled, and a corner of the blue threaded tablecloth spread on the stone table was lifted.
The eldest princess still asked in a low voice: "A Bao, what about you?"
"Grandmother is worried, everything is fine with Ah Bao!" Bai Qing replied.
The Eldest Princess nodded, and saw Lu Ningyi opening the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang and coming out of the side room, holding a square plate with black lacquer and gold in her hand, the plate was as big as a thumbcap... a very delicate crabapple-shaped dessert, There is also sweet osmanthus that has been warmed for a long time.
After meeting with everyone, Lu Ninghua smiled and said: "Today, the eldest and fourth daughters are triumphant, and the eldest princess specially prepared a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers to replace the wine. Congratulations to the two girls!"
There is no Bai family ancestral hall here, and she did not bring the Bai family army with her when she went out to fight.
But Princess Dachang seems to be thinking about the scene when the Bai family came back from a big victory and told their ancestors to return to the capital safely.
Bai Qingyan stepped forward and nodded to Lu Ninghua, then picked up the wine cup on the black lacquered square plate, drank all the sweet osmanthus, and then knelt down to the eldest princess and saluted: "Bai Qingyan, the daughter of the Patriarch Bai, return to the capital safely."
Bai Jinzhi's eyes were slightly hot. She remembered the scene when she saw Brother Seven that day, when Brother Seven knelt in front of her eldest sister and said that the capital was safe and well. How much she wished... every boy in the Bai family could come back and kneel In front of the grandmother, tell the ancestors and elders that they have returned safely.
Bai Jinzhi imitated the example, stepped forward to drink the sweet osmanthus sweetness, and bowed to the eldest princess again: "Bai Jinzhi, the fourth daughter of the Bai family, is safe and sound!"
The eldest princess nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay! Just be safe!"
Nanny Jiang also brought out the tea that Lu Ninghua had brewed, and asked someone to put some soft cushions on the stone bench.
Bai Jinxiu was pregnant, and Madam Jiang served Bai Jinxiu tea with sweet-scented osmanthus, which smelled very good.
"Xiao Qi... You take your fourth sister to gather more sweet-scented osmanthus, and your elder sister is here today! For dinner today, let Mother Jiang cook for you and make a sweet-scented osmanthus yam that your elder sister likes."
The Eldest Princess deliberately dismissed the two children, Bai Jinzhi and Bai Jinse. Bai Jinzhi couldn't hear it. She nodded and pulled Bai Jinse up and said, "Okay! It's been a long time since I've eaten sweet-scented osmanthus yam made by Madam Jiang. Little Si misses it very much!"
After Bai Jinzhi and Bai Jinse left, the Eldest Princess let Lu Ninghua sit down.
After a long while, the eldest princess said with a heartbroken face: "The emperor is getting more and more absurd now!"
After getting up and saluting, Lu Ninghua said: "Recently, Ninghua took the emperor's pulse and felt that the emperor was in high spirits, but the pulse was a little strange, as if it was a sign of having eaten cinnabar!"
"Auntie is saying that His Majesty is taking the elixir?" Bai Jinxiu looked up at Lu Ninghua in surprise.
"Exactly! However, it is said that such things as elixir have become popular among the Wei family in recent years. Taking it can make people radiant and energetic. There are rumors that it can prolong life. Although cinnabar is also a drug, if it is Appropriate oral administration can cure palpitations, insomnia, dreaminess, epilepsy and madness, etc., but it should never be eaten too much, let alone for a long time."
If we talk about the life-prolonging health elixir, it should really be considered to have become popular in the Jin Kingdom. The eldest princess’s grandfather, Emperor Wende, let go because of the life-prolonging health elixir. In this position, the first thing is to prohibit the heirs of the royal family from taking this kind of elixir unless necessary due to illness.
Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and thought carefully, so... King Liang offered the emperor the elixir, so he was favored by the emperor?
Lu Ninghua glanced at the Eldest Princess before continuing: "If the emperor has been taking this elixir, plus the Xiliang love medicine, the emperor may not be able to last for two years."
