Xiao Fuzi wanted to ask again, but when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Qi's eyes, he swallowed what he wanted to say and changed the subject.
"Your Majesty may be back in a while. Do you want to serve food?"
There are many people in the clan, and Xiao Chunan is the only prince with military power in the Xiao family. How could those clan members be willing to let him back so early.
Xiao Qi motioned for him to serve the food, and Xiao Fuzi hurriedly responded, not forgetting to say, "The kitchen will leave an extra portion for the prince."
Although the food in the palace was delicious, there were so many people that by the time the food was served, the food was almost cold but not as hot as the food at home.
Lu Zheng looked at the table full of dishes, his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that it was indeed the right thing not to return to the Valley during the New Year. Xiao Qi felt happy when he saw her smiling face, happier than during the Chinese New Year in previous years.
"Girl, please pick up your chopsticks." Xiao Fuzi said.
Lu Zheng picked up the chopsticks at hand and said to Lian Xin while eating, "Azhi can only taste one bite of so many dishes. He ate too much in the afternoon, otherwise it would be difficult to sleep at night."
"yes."
Xiaofuzi cursed in his heart, you also knew that he ate too much in the afternoon, and you ate too much, but then Lu Zheng once again opened Xiaofuzi's eyesight.
"This glutinous rice pork ribs is so delicious..."
Xiao Qi also tasted a piece and responded to her with a smile.
"This is delicious too..."
Halfway through the meal, Lu Zheng's eyes fell on the wine bottle on the table. She reached out to take it, but Xiao Qi got there first. Lu Zheng was stunned and said, "I'll have a taste."
It was pear blossom white and the wine was strong. He was drinking it when Xiao Chunan came back. Xiao Qi gave the wine bottle to Xiao Fuzi, dipped his fingertips in water and wrote two words.
After a while, Xiao Fuzi came over carrying two bottles of wine.
"This is fruit wine. Girls' families all drink this."
Lu Zheng didn't mind either, as long as she had wine to drink. They didn't allow her to drink in the valley before, but now no one cares about her anymore.
Xiao Fuzi poured wine for Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng took a sip and narrowed his eyes.
Half an hour later, there were a few empty wine bottles on the table, and then, Lu Zheng's memory of that night stopped at drinking the first bottle of wine and joking with Xiao Qi, and he slept until the next day.
On the first day of the new year, Cangwu Courtyard.
A burst of orchid fragrance floated by, Lu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Lu Ming's expressionless face.
"Are you back?" Lu Zheng suddenly sat up from the couch.
Lu Ming glanced at her and said, "Yeah."
Lu Zheng stayed down, put on her shoes and put on her clothes, "Has Tianyi gone back? Where is my senior brother?" If his senior brother knew that she had left the valley, would he let her go back? After all, the herbs she serves grow best.
Lu Ming's expression was indifferent, "I'm not even here. I have already given the letter to Master and he will pass it on."
Lu Zheng tilted her head to look at him, knowing that Lu Ming might be angry. She pulled up her hair casually, used a hairpin, and walked up to Lu Ming with an apologetic look on her face.
"I know I should talk to you in advance, but I'm afraid you won't want to bring me so much."
Lu Ming looked like he knew so much and still let him take care of it.
"I'm not afraid of the trouble of running back and forth. These are enough for me to use for a long time." Even if there is a shortage of any medicine in the future, I can just buy some in Beijing to use together, which means the effect will be less effective.
"I'm sorry, I promise, I'll let you take the lead this time."
Lu Ming glanced away and walked towards the window. Lu Zheng took a few steps forward and grabbed him, "You can live here. There are so many rooms in Cangwu Courtyard. Why are you sleeping outside in the open air?"
Lu Ming chuckled, "How did you know I was sleeping in the open?"
Lu Zheng asked him in surprise, "Then where did you sleep at night?"
"The attic in the west room."
Lu Zheng: "..." The attic of Cangwu Courtyard! ?
Didn't the bodyguards of Cangwuyuan's servant Xiao Qi notice him?
"Okay, you can sleep wherever you want. I'm sure you won't be hungry. Where are the things?"
"At the gate..." Lu Ming left a few words and left through the window.
"At the gate? You put so many medicines at the gate?" Lu Zheng said in shock.
But she was the only one left in the room, and no one responded to her.
Lu Zheng walked out quickly. In the yard, Lian Xin and Huasui were playing takraw ball with Wang Zhi. Seeing Lu Zheng get up, Lian Xin said, "Where are you going, girl?"
Lu Zheng could only reply, "You play with A Zhi, I'll go out for a while..."
Lian Xin immediately gave Huasui a look, Huasui raised his heels, and the two of them walked quickly to the gate of Prince Lingyang's Mansion.
I saw a carriage parked not far from the palace, just parked there, without even a driver.
Lu Zheng stepped forward and opened the curtain. Seeing that it was what he wanted, he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back to Huasui and said, "Find a few people to move everything inside into Cangwu Courtyard."
Huasui asked, "What about the carriage?"
"Do not care……"
In Tongshu Pavilion, someone reported to Xiao Qi that Lu Zheng had just gone to the gate. He thought Lu Zheng was so drunk last night that he would sleep all morning today.
Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Chunan who was sitting in the seat, who smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead. Daddy is going to pay New Year's greetings to some elders in the clan later. It's cold, so don't follow daddy."
Xiao Qi nodded, bowed, and went to look for Lu Zheng.
In Cangwu Courtyard, Lu Zheng asked Lian Xin to set aside a room as a pharmacy, while Xiao Qi watched Lu Zheng busy at work.
"These medical books are all introductory. You can read them when you have nothing to do. After reading them, I will show you the others."
Xiao Qi nodded and took the book handed over by Lu Zheng with a smile. Lu Zheng then handed over two medicine bottles, "Strengthen your body and strengthen your foundation. Take one pill every day."
"This is for Mr. Song, this is for Mr. Shen..."
"Lian Xin, let me give you a beautifying cream."
Lian Xin stepped forward to take it, "Thank you, girl."
"This is for Huasui. It relaxes the muscles and activates blood circulation. Take one after a fight and I'm sure you won't feel any pain the next day..."
"besides……"
After Lu Zheng finished dividing the things, he began to sort out the medicinal materials. Xiao Fuzi, who also got the things, happily and willingly let Lu Zheng take charge.
Xiao Qi stood aside, occasionally bringing a cup of tea to Lu Zheng and handing him a small object.
At a certain moment, Xiao Qi suddenly felt at ease. He couldn't explain why, but he felt at ease just looking at the busy figures in front of him.
No one knows that on the first day of the first lunar month in the seventeenth year of Chongning, Xiao Qi's mood slowly began to change in Cangwu Courtyard, although he was still unable to speak.
After everything was sorted, Lu Zheng looked at the medicines that had been sorted out, and her confidence in curing Xiao Qi and the others increased a little. With these medicines, if she couldn't cure Xiao Qi and the others, she would probably not be able to return to the valley.
What Lu Ming did not point out was that many of the medicines on her medicine list were finished products. Although she made a lot of them herself, she also brought in a lot of her master's exclusive secret medicines.
These medicines are hard to find outside, and some life-saving pills are even unavailable because the production is too cumbersome and the various medicines needed are extremely difficult to assemble.
"Okay, I'll ask those two to come back for treatment tomorrow. I'm also anxious to see the curative effect."
