The Concubine's Biography of the Concubine Seizing the Palace

Cui Nanny on the side heard the words, her eyes lit up, and then said respectfully: "Report to the emperor's empress, what the concubine's empress said is good, I remember, "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Papayas are everywhere, and the ones in Xuancheng are the most popular." Good', so it is called Xuan Papaya, Xuan Papaya does have the effect of curing waist and knee pain and vomiting and diarrhea.【 】”

When the queen heard the words, a weak smile appeared on her face: "Quickly present it to me!"

"Yes, ma'am, let Nanny Cui taste it first." Wei Ning'er immediately served a bowl to Nanny Cui!

Cui Momo took a sip before laughing: "Mother, this is the taste of Xuan papaya!"

"Present it!" The emperor looked at Wei Ning'er and smiled.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er immediately filled a bowl and walked forward.

The emperor took it in person, and then said to Wu Shulai who was beside him, "Take it outside and show it to the imperial physicians!"

Hearing this, Wei Ning'er froze all over, and looked at the emperor in disbelief. Although there was no abnormality on her face, there was something unpleasant in her heart.

The emperor looked at the stubbornness and grievance in her eyes, sighed and said: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the queen can't make half a mistake now, not to mention that this is something you brought, and you must be extremely cautious, otherwise the queen will make a mistake." If there is an accident, you will also get into trouble, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er stared at the emperor in a daze, before nodding slightly.

"My majesty, the imperial physicians all said that the Xuan papaya syrup is not abnormal, and it is curative for the empress's current symptoms!" It took about a quarter of an hour before Wu Shulai came in with the papaya water.

At the emperor's behest, Cui Nanny poured the last remaining of the papaya water that Wei Ning'er had brought into a bowl and gave it to the queen.

"It's a bit sour, but I like the taste!" The queen laughed after finishing her drink.

"The concubine will put more sugar next time!" Wei Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

After all, this is diet therapy, which is much slower than not taking medicine. The Queen's symptoms, I'm afraid she will have to drink this papaya syrup for a few days.

"Mmm!" The queen didn't treat Wei Ning'er as an outsider, so naturally she wouldn't be polite.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to bother with your concubine, I will leave it to the servants to cook in the future!" Cui Nanny beside him said with a smile.

"Nurse Cui, you don't have to be polite. Bing Ruo, who is beside me, was born in Xuancheng. She cooks this Xuan papaya syrup for a long time. I'm afraid no one in this palace can match her craftsmanship!"

"That's true, this servant knows that Xuan papaya is extremely sour, but the sugar water just now tastes very good!" Cui Mama laughed.

"So, it's time for me to go to my concubine's place for a drink!" The emperor laughed loudly.

"The concubine can't ask for it!" Wei Ning'er said intentionally.

"Well, maybe it tastes better when it's chilled, the emperor wants to drink more!" the queen teased.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er looked at the queen and laughed dumbfoundedly.

Perhaps this Xuan Papaya Water really has miraculous effects, the queen just used it twice and it is much better, the emperor Longyan was very happy, and ordered to reward Wei Ning'er.

On April [-]th, the empress had already drank the papaya syrup for three days, and she had no vomiting and diarrhea, but her waist and knees were still sore. Under the consideration and suggestion of the imperial physicians, the empress asked Wei Ning'er to boil it for her to drink for another two days.

On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Wei Ning'er took Bing Ruo to pay respects to Concubine Xian early in the morning. For some reason, Concubine Xian talked a lot today, she just dragged everyone to talk for a long time, and finally Concubine Chun couldn't help being sarcastic After a few words, she angrily let the crowd disperse.

After returning to Zuixin Garden, Wei Ning'er and Bing Ruo went straight to the small kitchen, ready to cook papaya syrup for the queen.

"Did the little eunuch from the House of Internal Affairs send the Xuan papaya here?" After entering the small kitchen, Wei Ning'er asked the little maid Peixue who was the chief envoy.

"Reporting to the young master, it has already been delivered. Seeing that the young master has not returned for a long time, the weather is getting hotter, and fearing that it will be ruined, the servant removed the skin and flesh of the Xuan papaya, and put it in ice water." Pei Xuegong Said loudly.

"That's great, you're really careful!" Wei Ning'er was rather satisfied with Pei Xue these days.

"My lord rest, slaves come!" Bing Ruo stepped forward and said.

"No need, come on, Ben Gong!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile: "You have worked hard these few days, and Ben Gong has also learned, so you can rest!"

For Bingruo, Wei Ning'er now completely trusts her, so naturally she treats her very well and doesn't treat her like a slave.

"Little master, servant..."

Bingruo hadn't finished speaking, but Qingyan walked in, and said with a smile: "My lord, Aunt Mu Yun who is next to Concubine Xian is here, and she said she has something important to see our aunt!"

"Go, Bingruo!" Wei Ning'er turned her head and smiled.

"I won't go, I don't know her well, but she always comes to annoy me these days, Qingyan, you go and tell her that I'm busy!" Bingruo was a little unwilling.

"Go, let's see what their purpose is?" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Yes, little master!" Bing Ruo nodded slightly, and went with some reluctance.

After Bingruo left, Wei Ning'er took out the Xuan papaya in the ice water, cut it into small pieces, and put them into the purple sand pot.

In order to avoid any accidents, she never left the small kitchen for a moment, and sat down on the chair brought by Pei Xue.

"Pei Xue, how long have you been in the palace?" Wei Ning'er asked, looking at Pei Xue who was sitting in front of the purple clay pot watching the fire.

"My lord, this slave has been in the palace for three years!" Pei Xue had a flattered smile on her face. Normally, these rough envoys and slaves could only look at her from afar, but she never thought that one day the master would chat with her .

"Three years...how did you become the maid of the rough envoy, were you born in Xin Zhe Ku slave?" Wei Ning'er asked.

"No... the maidservant was born in Baoyi, but... she made a mistake and became a rough envoy." Pei Xue's eyes were slightly red when she said this, and there was a tremor in her words.

"From now on, you can serve in the inner hall!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile after pondering for a moment.

"My lord!" Pei Xue looked at Wei Ning'er with shock in her eyes.

"It's good for me to look at you, hands and feet." Wei Ning'er said very satisfied.

"Thank you, my lord!" Pei Xue immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank her.

"Get up and take a good look at the purple clay pot!" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Yes, little master thank you, little master thank you!" Pei Xue kowtowed a few more times before she got up and sat down in front of the purple sand jar with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, her hands trembling slightly.

About half an hour later, the Xuan papaya syrup was ready, Wei Ning'er was still as usual, carefully pretending, then she called Qing Yan, and sent her to the empress's clear water and sky together.

About two quarters of an hour after Wei Ning'er left, Bing Ruo entered the small kitchen with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Auntie is back!" Pei Xue immediately put down the work in her hands, and slightly knelt and said.

"Where is the little master?" Bing Ruo took a look inside before asking, "Has the little master left?"

"Yes, the young master took Miss Qingyan to Bishuiyuntian!" Pei Xue said respectfully.

When Bingruo heard the words, her face became even more unhappy, and she said angrily: "It's all that Mu Yun, who insisted that I go with her to talk outside Zuixin Garden, but asked all kinds of things, looking for trouble, and said that she dropped the jewelry and asked me to help you." I was looking for it, and I missed the time, I never thought that the little master has gone to Bishuiyuntian!"

"Don't be angry, aunt!" Pei Xue said respectfully.

Bingruo responded, and was about to turn around and leave, but inadvertently saw the bamboo basket that Peixue used to put the waste, took a sharp step forward, and grabbed a handful of melon rinds from the bamboo building, her expression instantly changed It became a little pale, and shouted sharply: "What is this?"

"Auntie... this is the skin peeled off from a papaya by a servant girl!" Pei Xue looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Crack..." Bing Ruo slapped Pei Xue on the face, and shouted sharply: "You stupid and stupid slave, where are your eyes growing? Is this Xuan Papaya? Damn slave, are you trying to kill me? Everyone?"

Pei Xue was like a lightning strike, she stood there blankly, touched her face after a while, woke up, but Bing Ruo's shadow was no longer in front of her eyes.

"Where is Auntie going?" Xiao Yizi asked with a smile when he saw Bingruo running out in a hurry.

Bingruo ignored him, and ran out with all her strength.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Yizi immediately chased after him.

"What's the matter, Bingruo?" Xiao Yizi grabbed her and asked.

"Let go of me, the little master is going to die, and we are going to die too!" Bing Ruo shouted sharply with tears streaming down her face.

Xiao Yizi was startled, then let go of her, but didn't go back, and ran to follow her, and the two went to Bishuiyuntian together.

In the clear water and cloudy sky, Wei Ning'er chatted with the queen for a while before bringing up the slightly cold papaya syrup.

The queen took it with a smile, and drank it in spoonfuls after a while.

"Give me another bowl, today's papaya water is very sweet, not sour as usual." The queen gave the bowl to Wei Ning'er and said with a smile.

"Today was cooked by my concubine herself, Bing Ruo never intervened!" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Ning'er is getting better and better!" The Queen said with a satisfied smile.

Wei Ning'er just smiled and gave another bowl to the queen.

Except for the first two days, when Wei Ning'er brought papaya water in the past two days, the imperial physician would not check her again except for Nanny Cui.

"It's really sweet and delicious, but the servant only took a sip, can the empress reward the servant to drink up the bowl!" Cui Mama looked at the queen and said with a smile.

"Since when has Mammy been so polite in front of this palace!" The queen couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

The queen drank three bowls in a row, and wanted to drink the rest, but Wei Ning'er and Cui Mama didn't dare to give her a drink.

"Your Majesty, it's not good to drink too much, why don't you take a break and drink again later?" Wei Ning'er realized that the Empress sometimes had temper tantrums.

"Okay!" The queen nodded helplessly.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the bedroom, Wei Ning'er and the others looked over upon hearing the sound, and saw Bing Ruo and Xiao Yi Zi running in sweating profusely.

Bingruo looked at the empty bowl on the table and the small purple clay pot with only a little papaya water left, and felt that all the strength in his body was suddenly drained, and he fell limp on the ground.

"Bingruo, what's wrong with you?" Wei Ning'er asked while holding her hand.

"My lord..." Bingruo's eyes were full of despair, and tears burst out. After a while, she crawled to the bed, grabbed the queen's hand and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, spit it out quickly, spit out the papaya water, please!" , Your Majesty..."
