Lin Fufei returned to Fangcongyuan, and Hongzhu was stewing lotus seed soup on the porch.
Lin Fufei smiled and stepped forward, squatted down, took the cattail leaf fan from Hongzhu's hand and said, "Look at the sweat on your head, let me do it!"
"Isn't Xiang Huo hot at this time?" Hongzhu raised his hand to wipe his sweat and smiled, "I'll do it, it won't be long anyway."
"I'll come later. Sister Yuhe is looking for you. Go quickly! It will be ready in a while, and I will serve the princess to eat." Lin Fufei said.
Yuhe is a maid in another palace and is from the same hometown as Hongzhu.
"Then I'll help you," Hong Zhu stood up and beat her legs a few times while holding on to the pillar, "I've been squatting for a long time and my legs are numb."
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Lin Fufei: "Don't add any more fuel to the fire. When the fire is finished, simmer half a stick of incense and it's done."
Lin Fufei stewed the lotus seed soup, poured it out, and brought it inside to cool down.
The tenth princess was lying on the couch in the back room playing with the cat, because the cat was extremely fierce and would stretch out its claws to scratch anyone who was around.
Even if it doesn't really do anything to the person, it can't be made to explode easily. It would be terrible if it hurts the tenth princess.
Across a bead curtain, Lin Fufei turned her back and sprinkled a small packet of medicinal powder into the lotus seed soup.
Her hands were shaking a little, and some of the medicine powder spilled outside, so she quickly wiped it with a handkerchief.
After looking outside, there was no one there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stirred the powder evenly with a spoon.
As soon as she turned around, Hong Zhu came in.
He said: "Is the soup cold? The talent said that even though the weather is hot now, this soup should be eaten warm. The lotus seed soup is naturally cooler, and the princess has a weak spleen and stomach."
"Yes," Lin Fufei said, "It's just that it's still a little hot right now, let's wait a little longer!"
The next day, although the tenth princess got up, she felt a little sleepy.
Ma Cairen came over to take a look and was a little worried: "Everything is fine these days. What's going on?"
"It's not necessarily that she's sick," Hongzhu said. "The princess spent most of the day playing in the Royal Garden yesterday, so she may be a little tired."
"Go and ask an imperial doctor to come over!" Ma Cairen didn't dare to take it lightly, "Let's see if it's okay."
"My slave, go right away." Lin Fufei responded.
When the imperial doctor came to check her pulse, he said, "It seems that the princess's pulse is a little stagnant, but it doesn't matter. She has been eating lightly and softly these past few days, and she should be fine if she doesn't touch cold things."
"Don't you need to make a prescription?" Ma Cairen asked.
The imperial doctor smiled: "No, no, no, it's just one part of the medicine that's poisonous. The princess just needs to take good care of herself for a few days and she'll be fine."
Ma Cairen was very happy to hear this and thanked the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor kept saying that he didn't dare to take it, so he packed his medicine bag and went out.
Ma Cairen then ordered the waiter: "Everything that enters the princess's mouth these days must pass through me, and she is not allowed to eat it. Don't open the window at night, and carefully push her quilt."
It's almost the beginning of autumn, and the coolness at night is no joke. It rained again yesterday, and the moisture couldn't get into it. "
He also asked someone to make rice porridge, which has always been used to digest food and warm the stomach.
Seeing the tenth princess eating, she seemed to be more energetic than before, and Ma Cairen felt a little at ease.
"I'm afraid I was so disturbed at night that I didn't get a good night's sleep. Let's catch up on some sleep now!" Ma Cairen looked at her daughter pityingly and said, "It'll be fine when she wakes up."
Lin Fufei and Hongzhu were waiting in front of her, helping the princess to the bed and lowering the gauze curtain.
The tenth princess slept for more than an hour, and when she woke up she felt much better.
"Sure enough, the folk recipe of glutinous rice porridge is effective," Ma Cairen said happily, "Eat it like this for two days first, and then switch to something else!"
Lin Fufei served the tenth princess with food and water. At night, when Hongzhu went to get something from Ma Cai's house, he secretly sprinkled some powdered medicine into the tenth princess's tea bowl.
For two days, the tenth princess became more and more tired. Although she had no obvious symptoms, she always fell asleep.
Ma Cairen didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that he was tired and sleepy because of the disharmony between his spleen and stomach.
Later I felt something was wrong, and
The imperial doctor was invited, and he took his pulse and said it was nothing serious. He just needed to eat and drink for a few days and he would be fine.
It was almost noon that day, and the tenth princess finally woke up. Ma Cairen was afraid that she would fall ill if she stayed in the house, so he asked her to sit on the porch or under the shade of a tree in the yard to see the sun and the wind.
The tenth princess is sitting on the chair. She is also fifteen years old this year. Pingting is dignified and more beautiful than Ma Cairen.
Lin Fufei came in from outside, carefully carrying a tureen.
Hong Zhu asked her: "What is that in your hand?"
Lin Fufei walked over excitedly and said, "I just passed by the small kitchen. They just made it and they insisted on giving me a bowl. Does the princess have an appetite? This thing is also easy to digest, and Not cold."
When the tenth princess heard what she said, she became somewhat interested and took off the lid of the bowl.
The bowl was seven-quarters full of curdled cheese, with a layer of chopped almonds sprinkled on top.
This was originally a very common food, but when the tenth princess saw it, she felt like she was being burned. She dropped the bowl lid to the ground with a shake of her hand.
It hit the bluestone ground and cracked into pieces.
Hongzhu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the tenth princess to look up and down: "Don't let the broken porcelain burst out."
Lin Fufei also said: "They are all slaves."
"As long as the princess is not hurt, it's okay," Hong Zhu said, "Bring a broom and collect the broken porcelain!
On another note, don’t forget that the princess doesn’t eat almonds. They are never allowed in our food here. "
"Yes, I really have no memory, I actually forgot." Lin Fufei blushed, "I just wanted to let the princess eat something."
"I don't blame you." Hong Zhu didn't take this as a big deal. "We have made a convention here. We don't mention it at all on weekdays. I don't blame you for not remembering it."
After the two men cleaned up, they exposed the matter.
But Hongzhu didn't notice that the tenth princess's hand was shaking unconsciously.
At dinner, Lin Fufei served the porridge to the tenth princess and added a little medicinal powder to it when no one was prepared.
It's Yangjinghua, which can make people feel dizzy. It won't work if used too much, but if it's just a small amount, it will only make people confused. Stop taking the medicine and it will be fine.
In the past two days, because the tenth princess was not well, Hong Zhu and Lin Fufei stayed with her at night.
The tenth princess seemed a little irritable before going to bed that day, so Hongzhu and Lin Fufei gave her a massage.
After finally falling asleep, Hongzhu was so tired that she yawned: "Let's sleep too! Don't lean too close to the window, be careful of the wind blowing in."
Lin Fufei agreed, spread her luggage on the couch, and lay down.
Hongzhu was also sleeping on the couch on the other side and soon began to snore.
Lin Fufei didn't dare to sleep. She quietly listened to Hongzhu sleeping soundly, and then she got up quietly.
He came to the bedside, opened the curtain, and whispered in the ear of the tenth princess: "Here is a bowl of almond cheese, give it to the eighth prince!"
Said it several times in a row.
The tenth princess, who was sleeping peacefully at first, gradually showed a look of resistance.
She frowned unconsciously and curled up her hands.
