The clouds disappeared and the snow stopped, leaving only a thick layer of snow...
And underneath the snow, there are new sprouts...
From that day when I pierced the window paper, it seemed that nothing had changed, and then it felt like everything had changed.
Gong Shangjiao did not go back to Jiao Palace in his free time, but went straight from Zhibian Palace to Zheng Palace. He said that Jiao Palace was cold in winter and not as warm as Zheng Palace.
Gong Yaozheng said, after coming here for so many years, why is this winter so cold?
In previous winters, during the day, Gong Yuanzheng was warming up the fire in the pharmacy. Gong Yuanzheng was cooking medicine in the pharmacy, trying the medicine...
Last year, there was an extra jackdaw team doing odd jobs...
And this year…
There is one more person in the pharmacy...
Gong Shangjiao took the pharmacy's desk as his own, handled palace affairs in an orderly manner, and became his own school.
Jin Fu opened the door and came in. He looked at the three people and the three areas. After saluting Gong Yuanzheng and Gong Yuanzheng, he walked to Gong Shangjiao and whispered.
The pen in Gong Shangjiao's hand paused slightly: "Seriously?"
"Absolutely true!"
"You're quite capable!" A hint of inexplicable appreciation flashed in Gong Shangjiao's eyes, and then he saw Gong Yaozheng's curious gaze.
Jin Fu followed his master's gaze and looked at Gong Yaozheng, then at Gong Shangjiao, with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips, and left.
Gong Yaozheng thought for a while, then got up and poured a cup of hot tea. He walked to the desk and said, "Second brother, you must be tired. Have a sip of tea!"
Gong Shangjiao stopped writing, picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "Ayao wants to know?"
"If second brother doesn't want to talk, I can ask Jin Fu." Gong Yaozheng said that he hoped you would accept it as soon as possible.
"Gong Ziyu has passed the first level." Gong Shang's mouth curled up slightly, he spoke calmly, and put down the tea cup.
"So fast? That's right. With Yun Weishan accompanying you, it will indeed be faster." Gong Yaozheng was only slightly surprised, but then he was relieved.
"Ayao seems to know Yun Weishan very well." Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but ask.
"Gong Ziyu likes Yun Weishan. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that. In front of the person he likes, as a man, he can naturally stimulate unparalleled potential. What does this have to do with my understanding of Yun Weishan?" Gong Yaozheng Look around and talk about other things.
Gong Shangjiao obviously didn't believe her rhetoric, but he didn't ask too much. She would naturally say what she wanted to say.
"Since you can tell at a glance that Gong Ziyu likes Yun Weishan, why can't you tell that I like you?"
Gong Yaozheng looked into Gong Shangjiao's teasing eyes, with a changed expression on his face, returning the coldness to Mr. Gong Er.
"Can liking and liking be the same thing?" Gong Yaozheng stood up angrily, not forgetting to take the tea away. Hum, I won't let you drink it.
Gong Shangjiao grabbed Gong Yaozheng's wrist: "Be good, stay with me for a while longer."
The sound was like electricity, making people feel numb from the tailbone to the back. Gong Yaozheng felt numb!
She put down the tea cup and sat back obediently.
Gong Yuanzheng was flipping through a medical book, but he couldn't help but glance over there, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The warm winter sun shone through the window and shone on the desk. The man with a cold and handsome face was writing with a pen in hand. The girl next to him rested her head on the desk and fiddled with a white plum in the vase in boredom.
Maybe she used too much force, and a white plum fell unbearably on the girl's head. The girl didn't notice it, and allowed the white plum to quietly open on her temples.
Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but raise his hand to pick up the white plum. Gong Yaozheng was slightly startled. When he saw the white plum in Gong Shangjiao's hand, he realized that the white plum next to him had fallen on his head.
This white plum was picked this morning. The servants of Zheng Palace knew that the second lady liked white plums, so they put one in the vase on the desk of the pharmacy.
"The red plum blossoms bloom more enthusiastically than the white plum blossoms in the palace gate, but Ayao only loves the white plum blossoms. Why?"
"Love its indifference, love its loyalty, love its purity and beauty!" Gong Yaozheng couldn't help but look at the plum blossom. At this moment, it was particularly conspicuous on the mahogany desk, but outside, it blended with the snow. If you don't compete with the red plum, you don't want to compete.
What she loves most is its laziness, which is very similar to her.
Gong Yaozheng picked up the white plum in Gong Shangjiao's hand and put it into the ink on the side. The white plum floated in the black ink, distinct and unstained.
"Everyone in the world is drunk who loves it, but I am alone awake." Gong Yaozheng fiddled with the plum blossoms in ink with a brush. The ink dripped from the petals and did not contaminate the white plums at all.
"But everyone in the world loves him for his strength and selflessness!" Gong Shangjiao said lightly.
"So I'm different from the rest of the world. I'm not that strong, and I've never been selfless." Gong Yaozheng straightened up and looked directly at Gong Shangjiao, wanting him to see clearly that he was never as beautiful as he thought.
Gong Shangjiao looked at Gong Yaozheng with a heavy gaze. He didn't love her strongly, and he didn't love her selflessly.
Love is never selfless, everyone has selfishness, and he wanted to be Ayao's selfishness.
When Ayao feels sad, she can leave everything to him and he will help her settle everything.
Gong Yaozheng felt uncomfortable with this look and couldn't help but look away: "Brother Yuanzheng seemed to have called me just now. I'll go take a look."
Gong Yuanzheng was suddenly mentioned: I'm not, I didn't.
Gong Yaozheng stood up, feeling like he was running away...
Gong Shangjiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly without stopping him, as if he wanted to melt Gong Yaozheng into his eyes.
He chuckled softly, picked up the pen and continued to handle official duties. His eyes touched the white plum, and he accidentally touched it with the tip of the pen.
Gong Yuanzheng came to Gong Yuanzheng's side and coughed lightly: "Brother Yuanzheng, you took the book upside down."
Gong Yuanzheng reacted, the tips of his ears turned red, and he turned the book over.
"Sister, what are you doing here? This place smells like medicine. Don't you like it?"
"If you don't like it, you don't like it, but if I don't come over, how long are you going to read this reversed book?" Gong Yaozheng said with a smile, his face was full of smiles.
Gong Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed: "Sister, stop teasing me, I thought I heard Gong Ziyu just now, what happened to him?"
"Gong Ziyu has passed the first level and should have returned to Yu Palace now." Gong Yaozheng replied obediently.
Gong Yuanzheng's expression changed: "So fast?"
"It's okay, it's the 14th. You can just stick to the 13th when the time comes." Gong Yaozheng couldn't help but joked.
Gong Yuanzheng:...
"As long as Xue Chongzi doesn't deliberately make things difficult for you, there should be no problem." Gong Yaozheng continued to insert the knife.
"Sister, where are you from?" Gong Yuanzheng pouted and said unhappy.
"Of course it's from my brother's side. When the time comes, I will definitely get you a few more snow lotuses to make up for it."
How could Gong Yuanzheng not know that if Xuezhongzi had been released, he might have a difficult time in the Three Realms Trial, so why did he still eat snow lotus?
"Sister, you'd better go to my brother's place. The smell of medicine here is heavy, so I'm afraid it'll smudge you." Gong Yuanzheng pushed Gong Yuanzheng out of the range of the medicine table and medicine shelves step by step.
"Hey, hey, hey~" Gong Yuanzheng couldn't resist Gong Yuanzheng's strength at all, and was pushed forward.
Gong Shangjiao watched the two siblings playing tricks, finished writing the last document and closed it, stood up, his eyes full of smiles.
"Yuanzheng, be gentle before you throw your sister down again."
Gong Yuanzheng stopped pushing and said: "My sister is not made of paper, she can fall apart with just one push."
Just as he was speaking, he saw Gong Yaozheng frowning slightly and squatting straight down. Sweat broke out on his forehead and his face lost all color in an instant.
Gong Yuanzheng hurriedly knelt down and prepared to take his pulse, but Gong Yuanzheng refused.
Gong Yaozheng shook his head: "I'm fine. Call the maid and help me back to the room."
Gong Yuanzheng understood it in an instant, but after calculating the time, why was it so early?
Gong Shangjiao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood what was going on, and the tips of his ears turned red.
The maid was summoned, but she was helpless. Gong Yaozheng was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up. This time was different from usual. Not only was it earlier, but it was also more painful than usual.
Gong Shangjiao picked up Gong Yaozheng and after leaving the pharmacy, he did not forget to tell Jin Fu: "Call Elder Jiang Yue."
"yes!"
For the sake of the palace's bloodline, Elder Yue has done a lot of research on this and has been committed to conditioning the bodies of the women in the palace.
Gong Yaozheng felt a warm feeling in his lower abdomen. He was so embarrassed and angry that he buried his head in the mink velvet of Gong Shangjiao's cloak.
When they arrived at the room, Gong Shangjiao put Gong Yaozheng on the bed, and the maid followed him, lit the fire in the room, and then said with some embarrassment: "Master Zhibian, please go out first."
Gong Shangjiao turned around and left, standing at the door with an incomprehensible expression.
For the first time, he felt Ayao's vulnerability. He held her in his arms, as if she would melt the next moment.
After a while, Gong Yuanzheng came over with a medicine bowl, glanced at Gong Shangjiao, frowned and said, "Brother, go change your clothes."
Gong Shangjiao followed Gong Yuanzheng's line of sight and saw an obscure blood stain on his waistband.
"Is Ayao like this again and again?" Gong Shangjiao thought of Ayao's pale face just now, and his eyes were full of heartache.
"It's different this time. I don't know why. Maybe the poisonous miasma in the valley is getting more and more serious." Gong Yuanzheng frowned slightly. His sister's body has been treated by him over the years and is no worse than the women outside the valley. He could only attribute the current situation to the poisonous miasma in the valley.
Gong Yuanzheng saw the maid opening the door and coming out, carrying the medicine and went in: "Sister, drink the medicine."
"I think I'm fine now, can I stop drinking?"
"cannot!"
…
Gong Shangjiao listened to the conversation inside, looked at the blood stain on his clothes, and left...
Moon Palace
Mr. Yue stopped Jin Fu who was looking for Elder Yue: "Guard Jin, Elder Yue has something to do and I don't want anyone to disturb you. Please stay."
"By order of Zhibian, we summon Elder Yue!" Jin Fu saluted.
"Wait a moment!" Mr. Yue entered the secret room.
After a while, Mr. Yue came out with a gentle voice: "Elder Yue said, please forgive me. If there is no emergency, I can do it for you."
Jin Fu looked at Mr. Yue and hesitated for a while: "Then please ask Mr. Yue to come with me!"
"good!"
In the guest room of Zheng Palace, Gong Shangjiao changed his clothes. As soon as he walked to the door of the main hall, he saw Jin Fu coming with Mr. Yue: "Didn't I ask you to invite Elder Yue? Why did you bring him here?" "
Mr. Yue saluted: "I've met Master Jibian. Elder Yue is researching new medicine at a critical moment and cannot escape. Please forgive me Jibian."
"Go back!" Gong Shangjiao didn't think Mr. Yue's medical skills were better than Yuan Zheng's.
"Brother, sister, let him in." Gong Yuanzheng's voice came from the corridor.
Gong Shangjiao looked at Mr. Yue up and down, and saw that he had his hands folded, as if he was ready for action at any time: "Go and show it to the second lady."
Gong Yaozheng vaguely heard Mr. Yue's voice, so he asked Yuanzheng to go out and take a look, but he didn't expect it was really him.
Mr. Yue saluted across the screen: "I've met the second young lady."
Gong Yaozheng had just taken the medicine, his mouth was bitter, and he frowned impatiently: "Young Master Yue is exempt from courtesy. He has been doing well recently."
"Of course she's fine, but the second lady doesn't seem to be fine." Mr. Yue could feel Gong Yaozheng's weakness through the screen.
"A doctor doesn't heal himself. Yuanzheng's poison skills are outstanding, but his medical skills are a little inferior to yours. Please help me take a look!" Gong Yaozheng stretched out his wrist.
Mr. Yue glanced at the blade outside the door. After the blade nodded, he crossed the screen and stepped forward to take his pulse.
quite a while
"Second Miss...has something on your mind recently? She is depressed, qi and yin deficiency. When does Second Miss sleep well on weekdays? Do you suffer from insomnia and dreaminess?"
Gong Yuanzheng knew that he could tell anything by taking her pulse, so she didn't let Gong Yuanzheng take her pulse, otherwise she would have to worry about her again.
"Keep your voice down. I know my own body well. Just give me some medicine and fool me." Gong Yaozheng said in a low voice.
Mr. Yue looked confused: Do you think that if you lower your voice, the two powerful martial artists outside the door will not be able to hear you?
If they want to hear it, they can hear it!
Gong Shangjiao frowned slightly when she heard this. She knew that Ayao had written letters to Houshan Yuegong, but she didn't expect that she had such a good relationship with Master Yue?
Gong Yaozheng: No, I gave someone my wife as a gift, how about that?
Gong Yaozheng's early menstruation was entirely caused by herself recently. She didn't sleep at night and couldn't afford it during the day. She had irregular meals three times a day. In addition, she was preoccupied with something and often dreamed at night. She had already had a premonition that her aunt was going to punish her. she.
I didn’t expect the sanctions to come so quickly! It hurts so much!
Mr. Yue came out and prescribed medicine for Gong Yaozheng.
Gong Yuanzheng looked at the prescription, including ginseng, astragalus, atractylodes, bupleurum... and then he understood why his sister didn't let him take his pulse. It was a bit funny. His sister was really...
Gong Shangjiao invited Mr. Yue to another room: "May I ask Mr. Yue, is there any way to cure a woman's abdominal pain during menstruation?"
Mr. Yue thought for a moment: "Generally speaking, this is related to a woman's constitution. There is no radical cure. However, I have a medicine here that can enhance a woman's constitution. The second lady's constitution is cold and she will suffer from unbearable abdominal pain. Holding a knife can make her suffer." Second Miss, would you like to give it a try?"
"What medicine?"
"The soul of cold water!"
"Is there any trial medicine? How effective is it?"
"The soul of cold water is precious, and there is only one now, so..." Mr. Yue lowered his head and his voice became lower and lower.
"You want to use my sister to test medicine, who gave you the courage?" Gong Yuanzheng pushed the door open and narrowed his eyes slightly. If eyes could kill, Mr. Yue would have died hundreds of times by now.
"It's not that I used Second Miss to test the medicine. This medicine took a lot of effort from everyone in the Moon Palace during the research process. It can't be achieved overnight. I originally planned to give it to Yunque, but now it seems that Second Miss may need it more." Mr. Yue explained. road.
(Lan Yuan sneaked over from next door: I tried it, and the effect is great! Gong Yaozheng: Do you think I believe it or not?)
Gong Shangjiao thought for a moment: "Let me test the medicine and give you half a month to prepare the second one!"
Mr. Yue:......
"Master Jibian, I'm afraid..."
"If you need anything, just ask."
"yes!"
