Serve?
Zhu Yunwen held the spoon and looked at Concubine Ning, who was uneasy and panicked like a trapped elk. The previously pure woman now had a bit of Fufeng's weakness due to illness. Especially under her shyness, her face was rosy and even... Even the fair neck was showing a bit of red at this time.
The maid brought a bowl of water, and Zhu Yunwen ordered: "Everyone, step aside."
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Yunwen, with a bit of pleading in her eyes. She watched the maid and the eunuch leave, and the door was closed, leaving only herself and the emperor. Concubine Ning felt even more helpless and had some indescribable longing.
Zhu Yunwen put the spoon in the bowl, sat on the bed, and said softly: "I don't want to bully you when you are sick. First, take off your shirt, and I will scrape you to relieve the heat."
"Gua Sha?"
Concubine Ning raised her head and looked at Zhu Yunwen, her emotions were confused for a moment.
It's unclear whether he was moved by Zhu Yunwen's thoughtfulness, lost because he couldn't long for it, or just full of confusion.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said, "Gua Sha, please ask Concubine Ning to take off your shirt."
“What is Gua Sha?”
Concubine Ning was a little confused.
Zhu Yunwen explained the matter of scraping.
When many people mention scraping, they think it must have been very common in ancient times. It seems that there are massage, massage, and scraping places on both sides of the street...
This is actually a misunderstanding. Just because scraping is a type of meridian and acupoint therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, it does not mean that it has been traditional for two or three thousand years.
In fact, the theory of Gua Sha can indeed be traced back to the "Huangdi Neijing" of the Western Han Dynasty (some say Qin and Warring States, but the conclusion is not yet conclusive, the mainstream understanding is the Western Han Dynasty). It is said: "The meridians can determine life and death. All kinds of diseases must be corrected by adjusting the deficiency and excess.”
Of course, Gua Sha is not introduced in the "Nei Jing", but the principle of Gua Sha exists in it.
During the Tang Dynasty, there were records of ramie scraping to treat Sha. By the Song Dynasty, there were not many records of scraping treatment for Sha syndrome. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that scraping gradually developed among the people.
In the early Ming Dynasty, scraping was just a folk method that was not popular on the market. Naturally, the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital would not use this method to treat diseases.
Gua Sha therapy was mainly developed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and matured in the Qing Dynasty.
After Concubine Ning heard Zhu Yunwen's explanation, she knew that he was treating her illness. She was so moved that she did not forget to ask: "How did the emperor know about this method?"
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "I also read in the book that since the imperial doctor's method is useless, then use my method. Concubine Ning, would you like to give it a try?"
Concubine Ning raised her hand to help her brow, dizziness always made people uncomfortable, so she had no choice but to agree: "I am willing, but please ask the emperor to turn around."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Concubine Ning, shook his head slightly, and said: "You are my concubine, do you still need to avoid this?"
Concubine Ning's face turned even redder, and she grabbed the thin brocade quilt with both hands.
Zhu Yunwen laughed, knowing that she had a noble temperament, so he turned around and said, "Okay."
Concubine Ning couldn't help but sigh when she saw that Zhu Yunwen had turned around but was still sitting on the bed. She slowly untied her coat, revealing the white obscene clothes underneath.
On top of the clothes, there are slightly blooming red plum blossoms on the horizontal branches.
Under the obscene clothes, there are exquisite undulating curves.
With a gentle pull, the lingerie slipped off, revealing smooth and tender skin.
"ah--"
When Concubine Ning saw Zhu Yunwen looking over, she quickly picked up her obscene clothes and covered her chest, pulled up the quilt and hid it. Only half of her head was exposed, and she complained: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Yunwen took a few breaths before suppressing his uneasy restlessness and weakly quibbled: "I didn't mean to do it."
Concubine Ning showed her burning face and said angrily: "It's even more hateful if it's unintentional..."
Zhu Yunwen was immediately depressed. What he said seemed to be correct.
"Since Concubine Ning thinks so, then I will be interested in it in the future..."
"Your Majesty, you are bullying my concubine."
Concubine Ning felt even more aggrieved.
Zhu Yunwen laughed
, motioning Concubine Ning to lie down, and then gently opened the brocade quilt, looking at Concubine Ning's delicate and smooth back, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"How long will the Emperor continue to watch?"
Concubine Ning turned her head inside, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Zhu Yunwen smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand to take out the spoon from the bowl of water, and the water brought out by the spoon dripped on Concubine Ning's back. He then gently pressed and scraped with the spoon, and asked: "This force is painful." ?”
Concubine Ning replied in a low voice: "It doesn't hurt."
Zhu Yunwen dipped some more water, increased his strength slightly, and after scraping it a few times, a red mark clearly appeared, and among the red marks, there was purple-black Sha.
"Don't move around when it's hot. Stay here in Zhongcui Palace. If you have anything to do, leave it to the maid."
Zhu Yunwen said while scraping.
Concubine Ning gradually got used to Gua Sha. After hearing Zhu Yunwen's concern, her eyebrows were a little cheerful and she replied: "Your Majesty, yesterday was the sealing inspection before delivery. Luo Cairen and Concubine Xian were also watching. How can I be alone?" Staying in Zhongcui Palace? It’s just that my body is not up to par.”
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "You are the only pure woman in this harem who dares to refuse my invitation. You are like a flower in the winter plum, cold and aloof. Now that summer is here, even God can't stand it with your cold temperament."
"Your Majesty, you agreed not to mention this matter..."
Concubine Ning complained.
Zhu Yunwen watched more and more Sha appear, and sighed: "Actually, I also know that I have neglected you, Concubine Xian, and Luo Cai a lot this year, and I can't help you."
Concubine Ning said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't say that, as it will offend me. All the affairs of the Ming Dynasty are in the hands of the Emperor. The affairs of the court are heavy, and I am aware of them. I heard that the Emperor is always worried about state affairs." , I can't sleep for a long time at night, I just regret that I can't help the emperor to worry about it."

"You have done enough. If the harem can really support itself with money, it will be your greatest contribution."
Zhu Yunwen was very grateful to Ning Fei and others for their efforts.
The royal family's finances are often related to the security of the country.
Some emperors were extremely rich, but the court was too poor to uncover the blame. Some emperors were too poor to buy jewelry for their wives, but the court was rich.
Of course, the latter is rare and can be easily broken.
It is very common for emperors to steal state property for personal use.
Some people say that the emperor cannot touch the money in the treasury, and the Ministry of Revenue will not give it if it says otherwise.
But don’t forget that the emperor of the feudal dynasty was the greatest. If the Minister of the Ministry of Finance does not give it, you can change it to another Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Besides, the emperor doesn't necessarily have to steal state property openly, there are plenty of ways to do it.
After all, the emperor also has a job and needs to work. If the court supports officials, it must also support the emperor, and he must be paid. For example, the emperor of the Song Dynasty could receive a monthly salary of 1,200 guan. The queen also needed a salary, and so did the concubines...
If you don't ask for money directly, you can always get a salary increase.
The price of pork has increased these days, so why doesn’t the emperor’s salary increase...
The more money from the treasury is used by the emperor, the more problems will arise.
Zhu Yunwen knew the dangers involved, so he did not hesitate to transform the harem into a workshop. He wanted to solve this problem and achieve the decoupling of royal finances and national finances.
Concubine Ning gently replied: "This is all I can do as a concubine."
Zhu Yunwen scratched Concubine Ning's back and ribs, then began to scratch her neck, and said: "With peace in the harem, I can handle state affairs with peace of mind. There are too many things going on during this period. If there are no such trivial matters next year, I will bring them with me." How about you guys go to Hangzhou and Suzhou for a walk together?"
"really?"
Concubine Ning was pleasantly surprised. She moved her body, but was gently pressed down by Zhu Yunwen.
"Isn't it just to go out for a walk, why are you so excited?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled.
Concubine Ning said with a smile: "The emperor said it lightly, how often can I leave the palace? Besides, the emperor is the king, and it is difficult for me to leave the capital easily. If I really go south, I will have to leave the palace."
It's joy. "
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and asked, "I remember that Concubine Ning is from Hangzhou, right?"
Concubine Ning seemed to think of her family and said, "My concubine's home is not far from Lingyin Temple."
"Oh, Lingyin Temple, that's a good place."
"Your Majesty, have you been to Lingyin Temple?"
"Been there - I traveled in the book..."
Zhu Yunwen quickly changed his words.
Concubine Ning did not doubt it, so she smiled and said: "Is it possible that during the future trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I can invite the emperor to visit Lingyin Temple?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed, put the spoon in the bowl, picked up the handkerchief, gently wiped the water stains on Concubine Ning's back, and said: "Concubine Ning, do you want to go home and have a look? Okay, I promise you, How about living in your house when I go south in the future?"
"I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor on behalf of the Han family."
Concubine Ning was very happy.
Zhu Yunwen pulled up the brocade quilt, became serious, and said: "But you are not allowed to inform your family about this matter. The purpose of the trip south is to investigate the people's sentiments and business conditions. If people know more about it and are prepared, then what I see will be very different. reality."
"I know this, and I will never tell anyone."
Concubine Ning turned around, looked at Zhu Yunwen and assured.
Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand, brushed a strand of hair from Concubine Ning's face, and said, "You can sleep for a while and eat when you wake up."
Concubine Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Zhu Yunwen who was leaving, and said softly: "I thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, opened the door with a smile, and said to the maid outside the door: "It's easy to take care of Concubine Ning."
After walking out of Zhongcui Palace, Zhu Yunwen also went to Jingren Palace and Chengqian Palace. He didn't return to Kunning Palace until it got a little late.
Ma Enhui was sitting aside, fanning Zhu Wenkui on the crib. When he saw Zhu Yunwen coming, he stood up and saluted.
Zhu Yunwen pulled Ma Enhui to the small bed, looked at Zhu Wenkui sleeping, and whispered: "How long have you been sleeping?"
Ma Enhui fanned Zhu Yunwen and said, "It's hot and I just fell asleep."
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said: "Qintian Supervisor said that the weather was unusually hot this year. The Security Bureau investigated and reported that the high temperatures in Huaihe, Shandong, and Beizhili were higher than in previous years."
Ma Enhui said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the summer grain harvests in various places are going well, and the autumn grains have been sown. The weather is hotter. As long as you don't walk under the scorching sun, it won't be a problem. The heat will eventually pass, and it will be difficult to cause a drought."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not worried about drought, but about floods."
"Waterlogging?"
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen with some doubts.
The weather is so hot. It is obviously a drought. How can it be a flood?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't tell Ma Enhui about the problem of gas convection. There were no satellites in this era, so he couldn't predict where the gas flow would conflict or when it would appear.
But according to the experience of later generations, the hotter the weather, the more intense the rainstorm.
Many times, behind an extreme phenomenon is often not normality, but another extreme.
Zhu Yunwen's uneasiness became more and more serious, and he ordered Shuangxi at the door: "Chuan Yuxin, Zheng Ci, Zhang Xianzong, and Qitai."
"Your Majesty, it's already night."
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen worriedly.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "Queen, rest first. I need to know something."
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen who was leaving in a hurry, and shook his head bitterly.
Being an emperor seems to bring endless glory and power, but who knows the pain and suffering behind it?
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the four ministers who had hurriedly arrived. After a few people saluted, he asked anxiously: "In the past month, have there been reports of rain in various places, especially in the Huaihe and Yellow River areas?"
Yu Xin looked at Zhu Yunwen with some confusion and said: "Your Majesty, it has been very hot inside and outside the capital recently, and there is no rain. In the land of Jianghuai and the Yellow River, there are only reports of hot weather and no rain. Even if there is rain, The local government will not report such trivial matters, so I don’t know about it.”
