concubines are respected

Chapter 100

Suxian replied with a calm expression, calling Tang Xuanyu a master between the conversations. Although this statement is true or false, there is evidence to check.Furthermore, Tang Xuanyu taught herself the technique of acupressure, and it is not inappropriate to call him a teacher.Therefore, Suxian's words were extremely calm.

"Oh, that's how it is." The queen mother heard the words, and a faint smile floated on her face, "You don't take credit for it, although you are not a doctor, but you have special skills. If your acupressure technique can make Aijia Relief of waist disease is a great achievement."

With that said, the Queen Mother waved to Suxian, "Stay flat, the Ai family is in severe pain at this time, come and show it to the Ai family." While speaking, the Empress Dowager revealed a look of pain, and changed her lying position with a little difficulty .

Suxian got up, gently lifted the wide silk brocade cuffs, revealing a wrist as white as a lotus root, walked slowly to the side of the Queen Mother, and said softly, "Queen Mother, please lie down on the phoenix body."

Hearing this, the maidservant who was serving at the side immediately stepped forward to gently support the Empress Dowager's body and let her lie flat on the phoenix couch.

"I'm sorry, sister, come here to pour a pot of soup." Suxian carefully lifted up the Queen Mother's phoenix robe, revealing the moon-white obscene clothes, and said to the maid behind her.

At this time, it has just entered the early autumn, and although it is slightly chilly in the morning and evening, the overall climate is quite suitable, and there is no need for Tang Pozi to keep warm.

The maid gave Suxian a puzzled look, but didn't say much, but hurriedly walked outside the bedroom.

The queen mother lay prone on the couch, glanced sideways at Suxian, and asked casually, "Mrs. Tang? You son of a bitch sang that song, didn't you mean finger pressure to slow the disease? How did you use Mrs. Tang?"

"Queen Mother, just close your eyes and rest, Suxian has her own way to make you feel better." Although the Queen Mother was a little doubtful, her demeanor was gentle, and Suxian's original nervous mood had eased a lot.

Not long after, the maid entered the bedroom with the potted soup.

Suxian carefully put Tang Pozi in the velvet case, placed it on the Empress Dowager's waist, and pushed it back and forth with light pressure.Due to the extremely light technique and the brocade velvet cover that Mrs. Tang is wearing, the Empress Dowager felt that although her waist was slightly warmed by the sun, the temperature was still bearable.After repeated rubbing back and forth, the warmth in the affected area of ​​the waist became stronger and soaked into the skin below, as if the bones were also warmed up.

"Hmm... this method is very good. I never thought that you are better than the old pedant of the Tai Hospital." The queen mother murmured comfortably.

Suxian smiled without saying a word, and continued to push repeatedly. After about a cup of work, she finally removed Tang Pozi.Insert the warm ten fingers into the empress dowager's obscene clothes, press them lightly, and at the same time silently recite the key points of the acupoints taught by Tang Xuanyu before, and massage one by one.

Suxian's fingers were long and slender, and her fingering was steady and powerful. Every time she hit the acupuncture points, the Empress Dowager showed a satisfied smile on her face.

Although acupressure is just ten-finger pressure, if it is pressed for a long time, and each stroke has to be even, it is actually a very labor-intensive job.

It took Suxian pressed for about half a stick of incense, but she couldn't take it anymore, her fingertips ached unbearably, and the bean-sized beads of sweat on her forehead couldn't stop dripping down.

The queen mother who was lying on the bed seemed to be aware of Suxian's weakness, she tilted her head and said softly, "If you are tired, take a rest, don't force yourself. If you are exhausted, what should you do when your back hurts in the future. "

"Yes." Suxian wiped the sweat from her forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully supported the Queen Mother, letting her lean comfortably on the couch, "Queen Mother, do you feel better now?"

"Well, it's much better. You do have some tricks. Aijia was in severe pain just now. After you scalded and rubbed her, she recovered eight floors. It seems that Aijia can finally sleep well tonight." The queen mother smiled very happily. Since the beginning of autumn, she has often been unable to sleep at night due to pain. She has been drinking the prescriptions from the imperial hospital all day long, but she has not seen any pain. How can you be very unhappy.

"Xianwa, you have made great achievements in serving the sick, and the Ai family wants to reward you with something. You can look at the things on the pear wood carving for yourself, and play with the one you like." The queen mother pointed to the other party with a smile. On the pear wood carving lattice, various jade carving vessels are placed, speaking to Suxian.

Suxian clicked her tongue secretly, the utensils placed on the carved pear lattice were extremely exquisite and luxurious, in fact, the Lin family was considered a wealthy family in Beijing, and over the years, Suxian has seen a lot of good things.But if compared with the utensils in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, it is completely worthless.

It is not difficult to see that the objects on the grid are either tributes from various places, or treasures from other countries, and all of them are rare treasures.Any one is priceless, but in the mouth of the old lady, these objects are just small things for playing around.No wonder everyone flocks to the royal family, Lin Zhilan and Zijuan also wish to sharpen their heads and plunge into the palace.

Suxian walked slowly to the middle of the bedroom, looked up and down, pointed to the object in front of her, turned around and said with a smile to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, Suxian will choose it."

"It? You chose it?" The queen mother was stunned.

"Yes, Suxian will choose it." Suxian pursed her lips and smiled, her dark eyes sparkling slightly.

"Censer? You child, what is the use of this old incense burner?" Seeing Su Xian pointed to the gold and copper incense burner on the round table, the Empress Dowager said in a very puzzled manner.

"Hehe, the empress dowager misunderstood that what Suxian was referring to was not the incense burner, but the incense in the incense burner." Suxian smiled lightly like a warbler, and then stretched out her white catkins to draw the rising incense She slapped her nose, closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"What's so difficult about this." The queen mother finally understood what Suxian meant, and turned to the girl who was waiting beside her, "Cui Zhu, get a box of incense for Miss Lin."

Cuizhu blessed the body, but cast a dissatisfied glance at Suxian, then turned back and walked towards the inner hall.

"Queen, Suxian doesn't need too much, just a little." Suxian playfully gestured with her fingers.

"Hey, since Ai's family promised first, you can just take it." The queen mother smiled generously, "You girl also has some eyes, this incense is a tribute spice in Bozhou. I heard that this incense is unique to the local area. It is refined from the unique herb-Drinking Frost Lotus, which can only survive within the boundary of Bozhou, and it is difficult to cultivate once it leaves Bozhou, so it is extremely rare, and the output of this incense is also extremely low."

While speaking, the palace servant Cui Zhu walked out of the inner hall holding a small brocade box very carefully, smelling that the Queen Mother was talking about this fragrance, Cui Zhu looked at Suxian even more displeased.

"Oh, I didn't expect this incense to have such a background?" Suxian glanced unexpectedly at the incense box placed on the round table by the green bamboo, and murmured.

Hearing this, Cuizhu finally couldn't help but said in a muffled voice, "Don't Miss Lin know? This spice is extremely precious, and even our queen mother only has three boxes. It's good for you to ask for one box as soon as you open your mouth. Instead, she said I don’t know the origin of this incense…”

"Cui Zhu, don't be rude." Cui Zhu said too much, the Queen Mother shouted in a low voice.

"Yes, I know I'm wrong." Cuizhu backed away with a bit of aggrieved jaw.

Only then did Suxian understand why Cuizhu's face turned pale when she heard that she was begging for incense from the Queen Mother, it turned out that she regarded herself as a greedy and scornful person.

Even though she thought so, Suxian didn't explain, picked up the incense box on the round table, and gently opened the lid, there were countless tower-shaped incense particles of uniform size in the brocade box, exuding a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

For a while, my mind cleared up a lot, and even my breathing became much smoother.

"May I ask the Queen Mother, when did you start burning this incense?" Suxian raised her fingertips lightly, picked up one of the incense grains, and played with it casually in her palm, while asking softly.

"Hmm..." The Queen Mother thought for a while, and said, "At the end of summer, the palace began to burn this incense."

Suxian smiled and said nothing, crushed the incense in the palm of her hand into foam, looked carefully, then raised her head and continued to speak to the queen mother, "If Suxian remembers correctly, Bozhou is an extremely cold place, with ice and snow all year round. The climate is extremely harsh."

"Well, that's right." The queen mother nodded, "The climate in Bozhou is indeed extremely cold. Well, girl, why did you suddenly bring up this topic?"

"The queen mother said just now that this incense is made from the local herb - Yinshuang lotus. The climate in Bozhou is cold, and Yinshuang lotus can only survive in Bozhou, which is enough to show that Yinshuang lotus is cold in nature, so it is used to drink it. Only the incense extracted from the frost lotus will have the effect of refreshing and refreshing, and it will be extremely refreshing in summer."

As she said that, Suxian put the half-broken incense grains back into the brocade box, picked up the purple sand teapot on the table, filled the teacup in front of the Queen Mother with tea soup, and said with a smile, "But now I have entered In autumn, the temperature is no longer unbearably hot, and the most important thing is, your waist disease is caused by climate change, causing cold evil to enter your body and you are suffering unspeakably. This fragrance has the effect of warding off the heat and cold. Burning this incense all day is absolutely inappropriate."

"In this way, it is impossible to touch this incense." The queen mother was very surprised, and then she became angry, and shouted loudly, "What do the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital do? They often come to Aijia Palace to ask for pulse. But they don't know that Aijia's body can't burn this incense, and can only give Aijia an unbearably bitter medicine. Hmph! It's really disgusting! Green bamboo, hurry up and put out this incense."

"The empress dowager calms down. The imperial physician is proficient in medical skills and pharmacology, but he doesn't know much about the common sense of incense. It is reasonable. Suxian's mother was very good at making incense during her lifetime, and Suxian learned a little bit from her, so she can only use it at this time. "Suxian comforted the queen mother in a soft voice, then turned to Cuizhu and said, "Sister Cuizhu, please replace this incense, and it will not be too late to use it in the summer and summer next year."

Only then did Cuizhu realize that she had misunderstood Suxian, and she smiled at Suxian a little embarrassedly, "Miss Lin, just now I was just a slave, don't mind."

Immediately, he stepped forward to extinguish the incense and moved the incense burner down.

"Hehe, Sister Cuizhu was joking." Suxian smiled generously.

At this moment, there was a voice of return from the palace servants outside the bedroom, "I am reporting to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Lan, please see me."

"Concubine Lan is here, let her in." The Empress Dowager sat upright slightly, straightened her clothes casually, and looked peacefully at the door of the bedroom.

Concubine Lan?Suxian thought to herself, if I remember correctly, Concubine Lan is the mother concubine of the fifth prince. I heard from my father before that the injustice case of the Zhang family was inseparable from Concubine Lan's family. The Zhang family's enemies are not exaggerated at all.
