Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

"Oh?" The Grand Tutor's wife became interested.

Chu Xunzhen asked, "Does Madam tire easily? Do you feel listless all day after waking up?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor's wife was stunned and nodded abruptly.

"After I get up, I often feel tired. Even though I haven't done anything all day, I just feel mentally exhausted and don't want to do anything. To be honest, if Ningning hadn't dragged me out today, I would still be taking a nap at home."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen said, "Please stick out your tongue, Madam, so I can take a look. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Although I have a guess, I still need to confirm it."

The Grand Tutor's wife stuck out her tongue.

Sure enough, his tongue was covered in a thick yellow substance.

"Does your hand and foot get cold in winter, Madam? Are you prone to abdominal pain?"

Liu Xiangning nodded vigorously: "Yes, Zhenzhen, you're right."

Chu Xunzhen smiled confidently and said, "In that case, I recommend the Nine-Seed Nourishing Incense. This incense is just what the Grand Tutor's wife needs right now."

Chu Xunzhen picked up the booklet, turned to the page for the Nine-Seed Nourishing Fragrance, and began to introduce it: "The most distinctive feature of this fragrance formula is that I added ginseng, scrophularia, angelica, and cypress seed. In terms of aroma, it has a calm and lingering fragrance, a tranquil and slightly sweet scent, and a rich herbal aroma. This formula is most suitable for women who are deficient in both qi and blood, need to promote qi circulation and relieve pain, and require replenishment of qi and blood, as well as calming the mind and moisturizing dryness."

The Grand Tutor's wife said, "Then I'll take this one. Oh, and one for my husband too. And one for my cousin in the household as well."

The Grand Tutor's wife did not question Chu Xunzhen.

After all, this is a health-preserving bracelet endorsed by the current emperor and empress.

If there is something wrong with this Chinese medicine bracelet, Chu Xunzhen will face the crime of deceiving the emperor and empress.

Chu Xunzhen pondered for a moment and asked, "How is the Grand Tutor's health? Does he usually feel unwell? Is he prone to emotional outbursts or occasional headaches that cause chest tightness? How is his sleep?"

The Grand Tutor's wife smiled and said, "The Ninth Prince's Consort is indeed professional. Ningning's father is tall and slender, and usually doesn't have any major problems. The only issue is that he has difficulty falling asleep and has many thoughts and dreams."

Chu Xunzhen understood.

The Grand Tutor wielded immense power in the court, yet he also toiled for the people of Da Ning. What he needed was a health-preserving bracelet that could calm his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xunzhen decided to choose the Seven Treasures of Harmony.

She opened the booklet and said to Madam Liu, "Madam, the Seven Treasures Harmony Bracelet can help the Grand Tutor regulate his body, calm his mind, and relieve his tension. It can also help him relax his mind and body, reducing stress. Once he is no longer tense, he can naturally sleep soundly. Madam can try it first. If you need to change to other effects next quarter, you can also come to me."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor's wife was stunned.

"Your booklet contains comprehensive records, but the prescriptions you personally selected are still better. If they are effective, I, along with the Grand Tutor, will personally visit the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion to choose suitable health-preserving bracelets."

"Seeking Truth, we eagerly await your arrival."

Liu Xiangning spoke up: "My cousin coughs from time to time, Zhenzhen, which style do you think we should choose?"

"For your cousin's bracelet, I recommend this black ambergris health-preserving bracelet. It happens to have the effects of relieving cough and phlegm, and clearing the mind and refreshing the spirit."

Everyone looked at it and thought it was incredibly dark.

Although the previous bracelets were mostly dark-colored, they weren't completely black.

Now, this black dragon's saliva looks really black.

Chu Xunzhen said, "If you all like it, you can try it first. If you find it effective, you can come back to buy it again."

Liu Xiangning turned to look at the Grand Tutor's wife and said, "Mother, here's the money."

The Grand Tutor's wife looked at Liu Xiangning and smiled indulgently, "Ninth Princess Consort, I'll take all three of these bracelets. How much is it in total?"

Chu Xunzhen said, "The bracelets of the Grand Tutor's wife and the Grand Tutor are each 150 taels each, and the bracelet of the young lady is 80 taels each. The total is 380 taels."

The Grand Tutor's wife glanced at the maid behind her, and the maid immediately took out four hundred-tael silver notes.

"Here is four hundred taels, keep the change, Your Highness. The rest of the silver is a small donation from me to the soldiers on the border."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen bowed to the Grand Tutor's wife and said, "Madam, you are of noble character. On behalf of the soldiers at the border, I thank you."

The Grand Tutor's wife chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I'm sorry to have troubled the Ninth Princess. Although I had good intentions before, I never thought of doing what the Ninth Princess did, transporting medicinal herbs to the soldiers free of charge. If it weren't for the Princess, there would probably be even more deaths and injuries over the years. That Gu Changfeng is a fool. But it's all for the best. A blessed woman doesn't marry an unblemished one. The Ninth Princess is in better health now than before, and her face is even more beautiful than before."

Chu Xunzhen smiled in surprise, touched his face, and said, "Perhaps it's because of the effects of the Chinese herbal bracelet."

The meal lasted an hour, after which everyone parted ways. As they were leaving, Liu Xiangning was reluctant to part.

"Zhenzhen, I really want to go to your house to see the bear. How do you make it obey?"

Chu Xunzhen was both amused and exasperated, and replied with four words: "Unique method."

Liu Xiangning immediately understood.

Chu Xunzhen went to the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion first.

When the manager of Wanyao Pavilion saw Chu Xunzhen arrive, it was as if he had seen a savior.

"Boss, you're here! That's wonderful. So many people have been wanting health-enhancing bracelets these past few days. We can't make any more, what should we do?"

The shopkeeper, dressed in a brown long gown, was only in his forties, but his face was now covered in wrinkles from worry.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xun was somewhat surprised.

Although she guessed that the emperor and empress's personal endorsement would lead to many people placing orders.

But I never expected so many people would order health-preserving bracelets.

"No rush. I'll come help you in the next few days. Let me see first what type of health-promoting bracelet they want."

"Yes."

The shopkeeper brought over the registration book.

To Chu Xunzhen's surprise, Gu Changfeng also placed an order, and it turned out to be a health-promoting bracelet.

As for the others, some wrote that they needed treatment for insomnia, some wrote that they needed to become stunningly beautiful, and some even wrote that they wanted to be as thin as a bamboo pole.

Of course, some also say that wearing it will bring you instant wealth, while others say that wearing it will bring you academic success.

The more Chu Xunzhen looked, the bigger the question mark on his forehead became.

There's another particularly bizarre one that even says you should be like the Ninth Princess, the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion, who can sit on a brown bear and look majestic just by wearing a bracelet.

Chu Xunzhen was both amused and exasperated.

She circled the names of these people with one hand and said to the shopkeeper, who was standing to the side, equally amused and exasperated, "Contact these people and have them change their prescriptions to something like calming and sleep aids, or refreshing the mind, replenishing qi and blood, or strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, and improving skin and physique."

"Yes."

After eliminating dozens of unreliable names, the rest became easier to handle.

Chu Xunzhen picked up packets of traditional Chinese medicine and began to work.

She first crushed the selected Chinese medicinal herbs, then mashed them into powder.

She told Chunxi to go back to the Ninth Prince's residence to prepare a meal and check on the Ninth Prince's condition. If there were any special circumstances, she was to send someone to the Wan Yao Pavilion to summon her.

For a full hour, Chu Xunzhen did not stop.

The other doctors in the Wanyao Pavilion looked on with admiration when they saw Chu Xunzhen working tirelessly like an old ox.

An hour later, Chu Xunzhen had prepared over a hundred pills.

As Chu Xunzhen walked out of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion, Chu Mingyuan walked towards him.

Chu Xunzhen looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Young Master Chu, what brings you to my humble Wanyao Pavilion today?"

Hearing Chu Xunzhen's sarcastic voice, Chu Mingyuan gave a bitter smile: "It's my fault, brother. Zhenzhen, I heard you have health-preserving bracelets here. What kind of bracelet do you think I should buy?"

"Shopkeeper, please entertain Young Master Chu."

Chu Mingyuan watched Chu Xunzhen leave, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

But he quickly cheered up.

sunset.

Chu Xunzhen returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

She had just stepped across the threshold when she stopped in her tracks, because an interesting message had come from a Gu worm left in the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence.

Today, Li Yi threw the agate bracelet on the ground, causing Chu Wanrou's luck to backfire.

If she is unable to absorb other people's luck within twelve hours, the backlash from that luck will cause her appearance to change.

Now, her skin has started to sag, and she has even gained a few pounds.

At this moment, Gu Changfeng returned to the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence and limped towards the study.

Suddenly, Chu Wanrou ran over and hugged him.

"Brother Changfeng, Rou'er misses you so much."

Chu Wanrou wore a white veil, half-concealing and half-revealing, exuding charm and allure.

However, at this moment, Gu Changfeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"roll!"

Gu Changfeng roared without any mercy.

His area hadn't fully recovered yet. But Chu Wanrou actually caught him in the corridor.

How could he not be angry?

Chu Wanrou was stunned.

Noticing the mocking gazes of the maids around her, Chu Wanrou's eyes flashed with anger.

Chu Wanrou's eyes were red-rimmed as she gripped Gu Changfeng's trouser leg tightly, pouting, "Brother Changfeng, what's wrong with you? If you don't want to be with me, why did you marry me? Have you fallen for my sister?"

Gu Changfeng was in so much pain that his whole body was numb. He coldly said, "Shut up."

He didn't know how things had turned out this way.

Before marriage, Chu Wanrou was understanding and kind, with every good quality in her life. Now that they are married, she hardly pays any attention to him.

"I don't want to! Brother Changfeng, you've changed."

Gu Changfeng was so angry that cold sweat poured down his forehead.

He looked exhausted and limped toward his study. His pride wouldn't allow him to use a cane.

"Brother Changfeng, how could you do this to me?" Chu Wanrou questioned from behind.

Gu Changfeng recalled that in his previous life, after Chu Xunzhen entered the manor, there was always hot soup and a physician waiting for him whenever he returned from his duty.

Every seven days, she would patiently have the royal physician examine her pulse.

She would massage his temples and prepare seasonal meals for him. She would even take note of his condition each day when he returned home.

In winter, after returning home from his shift, he would sit down and someone would always bring him a cup of hot tea.

In the summer, when he was on duty, she would have someone bring him refreshing sweet soup. When he returned to the mansion, she had already arranged everything, having people fill the room with ice to make him comfortable.

But now, Rou'er hasn't said a single word of concern for him.

Could it be that she overlooked it?

But clearly in her previous life, Rou'er said that if she became his wife, she would do better than Chu Xunzhen, earn more money than Chu Xunzhen, and give him more help.
