"Relieving worries? It's good if she doesn't bother me. How about relieving worries!"
The Queen sighed deeply and rubbed her eyebrows. When the imperial doctor was diagnosing her pulse just now, she personally handled Li Youqing's memorial. She originally wanted to feel happy, but as a result...
That was Li Youqing's memorial asking the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.
The Queen waved her hand to show that she was not looking, and turned her head away... This was a hint to Nangong Wan'er that she would deal with it later.
"Your Majesty, what the princess is doing here is not for disaster relief, but..." Nangong Wan'er did not obey the order because she knew it was a good thing.
"Oh?" The queen turned her head, stared at the things in her hands, and asked, "What is it?"
"The princess said in her memorial that she had found several treasures specifically for women in Hebei Province. The princess has tried them herself, and they are indeed miraculous, so she presented them to Your Majesty." Nangong Wan'er said with a smile.
"What exactly is it? A treasure only for women?" The queen became interested and wanted to get up and take a closer look, but she couldn't move.
"Your Majesty, please see, this thing is called 'brown sugar'. Boil it with ginger to get 'brown sugar ginger tea'. When the woman who comes from Tiankui drinks this tea, it can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dispel cold and warm the stomach..."
Nangong Wan'er pulled out the stopper of a jade jar, and there was dark red sand in the jar.
The Queen could see it if she turned her head slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly as she asked:
"Since it's called brown sugar, it must be sweet. Please take a spoonful and let me have a taste."
"Your Majesty, but..."
"It doesn't matter, you are my daughter, I believe in her."
"According to the order!"
Soon, Nangong Wan'er ordered someone to get a gold spoon, put it into the jade jar, dug out half a spoonful of brown sugar and fed it to the queen's mouth.
The queen shut up and tasted for a long time, then opened her eyes suddenly, stared at the jade jar the size of a human head, nodded seriously and said:
"This candy tastes delicious and sweet. I have never tasted such a sweet thing! Brown sugar? This name is good, good, good! You girl has found another treasure for me!"
"Your Majesty, what about brown sugar ginger tea?" Nangong Wan'er asked.
"Go and get through it quickly, I'm going to drink it right away." The Queen did not hesitate at all.
"According to the order!" Nangong Wan'er held the jade pot in her hand and bent down to exit the palace, but the Queen stopped her again before she took two steps: "I'm not worried about others, so go and endure it yourself."
"According to the order!"
"This candy tastes delicious and sweet. Although it is precious, and it was given to me by my young lady...but I allow you to taste it, just one spoonful!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"..."
The Huiyou Hall was originally the Queen's bedroom, and the Queen lived here all the time, which directly improved the "standards and treatment" of the Huiyou Hall. It had an independent and well-equipped dining room.
】
Nangong Wan'er personally held the jade jar, followed by more than a dozen palace maids, and hurried to the dining room. She personally cooked brown sugar ginger tea for the queen.
Li Youqing has listed the recipe and brewing method of ginger tea in detail in the memorial. Nangong Wan'er was born with a pair of skillful hands and quickly brewed a bowl of qualified ginger tea according to the steps.
At this time, she looked at the jade jar the size of a human head.
The ginger tea has been brewed, and it’s time to seal the jar to prevent the brown sugar from getting damp.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up a spoon, reached into the jade pot, and took a spoonful. Fearing that the brown sugar would splash, she took out a jade bowl and held it under the spoon.
She looked cautious, serious, and serious as she slowly put the spoonful of brown sugar into her mouth.
She actually didn't want to taste the so-called brown sugar.
After all, this thing is Li Youqing's tribute to the Queen. If the Queen hadn't ordered it, with her caution and meticulousness, she would never have touched this jar of brown sugar.
The dark red sugar sand melts in your mouth and has a great taste. It instantly turns into a thick sweetness that spreads throughout the mouth.
Nangong Wan'er is known as the "Inner Prime Minister", and she doesn't look down on the world's rare treasures, but this brown sugar is really too sweet, sweeter than she has ever been in her life!
In an era of scarcity, sweetness equals happiness.
Nangong Wan'er was enveloped in a feeling of happiness all over her body. This pure happiness made her lose her mind, and scenes from when she was young gradually appeared in front of her eyes...
She was originally a young lady from an official family. She had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child, and was loved by everyone. Unfortunately, her good times did not last long, and her family fell into decline. Even at a young age, she was forced to work as a slave in the Yeting Bureau.
Fortunately, Nangong Wan'er was appreciated by the current empress, and was promoted to the rank of "Inner Attendant" and "Inner Palace Supervisor". She ranked first among the palace officials and was known as the "Inner Prime Minister".
Such Nangong Wan'er's natural scenery is endless, and I don't know how many people are envious and envious.
But who would have known that she had sacrificed too much for the hardships, confusion, hesitation, helplessness, and loneliness along the way... She had not tasted the taste of happiness for a long, long time.
Snapped!
The sudden sound of jade pieces breaking woke Nangong Wan'er up.
For a moment, she understood what was happening.
It turned out that she had experienced pure happiness just now, so she lost her mind and was immersed in her beautiful childhood and her experiences as an adult. As a result, she dropped the jade bowl in her hand and broke it into pieces.
"careful!"
The maids waiting nearby immediately stepped forward to collect the fragments of the jade bowl.
Nangong Wan'er took a deep breath and immediately adjusted herself. When she looked at the jade jar the size of a human head again, she couldn't help but have a strange look on her face.
She resisted the urge to take another bite and sealed the jade jar with her own hands.
Since entering the palace, today is the first time that my mind has wandered, and it is also the first time that I have experienced the kind of happiness I had when I was a child!
Holding the steaming brown sugar ginger tea in her hand, she couldn't help but think to herself on the way to the Queen's chamber:
"The princess' memorial says that the person who tinkered with brown sugar was named Su Xian. What kind of person is Su Xian? How could he tinker with something as sweet as brown sugar?"
"..."
Arriving at the Queen's bedroom, Nangong Wan'er handed the brown sugar ginger tea to the palace maid behind her, and personally helped the Queen sit up from the dragon's bed. The Queen had already smelled a warm and sweet smell, so she waved her hand, indicating that she would drink it now. .
"His Majesty……"
At this time, a palace maid came forward, holding a tray with a porcelain bowl and a spoon on it. This palace maid was the "poison testing" official, and she had to taste everything the queen put into her mouth first.
This is the rule of the palace and does not target anyone.
The Queen waved her hand and signaled the maid to quickly complete the drug testing procedure.
But at this moment, Nangong Wan'er suddenly said softly: "Let me do it!"
Uh-huh!
In an instant, the queen and the maids all turned to look at her with different expressions, especially the queen's eyes, which were full of suspicion and understanding.
Nangong Wan'er panicked.
The second time!
Since she entered the palace, this is the second time she has been careless and careless - she has exposed her desires and thoughts... This is so inappropriate!
Yes.
She loved the feeling of pure sweetness.
So much so that just now he spoke so uncontrollably that he actually took food from the palace maid's mouth!
The palace maid who tested the poison had scooped out a full spoonful of brown sugar ginger tea and poured it into the porcelain bowl. She was confused for a while and finally handed the porcelain bowl to Nangong Wan'er with both hands.
"Take two more spoons!" the queen suddenly ordered, with a strange look on her face.
"According to the order." The palace maid scooped out two more spoons from the jade bowl and poured them into the porcelain bowl.
Nangong Wan'er suddenly felt ashamed. Facing the Queen's eyes, she felt defeated, which made her feel ashamed!
But now that the matter was over, she had no choice but to take the poison-testing porcelain bowl and drink the brown sugar ginger tea in one gulp in front of the Queen and everyone.
It still tastes sweet in the mouth.
But with a hint of spiciness.
After the silk slips into the throat, it feels warm in the belly, as if holding a charcoal stove in front of the belly, feeling comfortable all over!
