Little Cardamom - Chapter 114
Due to a foot injury, the accounts in the village were closed after a day of serious meetings. Early the next morning, Ming Tan returned to the palace in a spacious carriage, and Jiang Xu accompanied him on a single horse, always taking care of the bumpy gravel road.
When the group returned to the palace, Uncle Fu was quite amazed.
The concubine is really easy to coax, just like the prince, really coaxed people back!
Watching Jiang Xu lift Ming Tan up and walk towards Qi’an Hall, Uncle Fu’s face was wrinkled with a smile, and his eyes were even more narrowed.
Lue reminded: “Uncle Fu, I have to trouble you to arrange someone to send those dishes to Anjifang.”
Uncle Fu came back to his senses, and looked back: “Yo, this will be an account, what, why did you bring so many dishes back?”
“Isn’t it the farmers in the village who set up some kind of traps to catch wild pigs, which caused the princess to suffer, no, I feel sorry, and they have to deliver food to us, don’t they?”
Uncle Fu understood, and nodded: “Sure, I’ll arrange for someone to send it to Anjifang.”
Anji Fang was established by the government to help the poor and the poor, and to support the orphans, widows, and sick. It existed since the beginning of the dynasty, but the government itself had difficulty maintaining it, and it was mostly useless.
Now Chengkang years are considered peaceful and prosperous. When Lingzhou Haiyi caused an epidemic, at the suggestion of a group of women from Shangjing headed by Ming Tan, Queen Zhang restarted Anjifang to resettle the victims.
After the epidemic, this Anji Square has not been idle. Now there are two squares in the middle of Beijing, east, west, north, south, and north, and other state capitals are gradually being built. Ming Tan would visit from time to time, and most of the old people there knew her.
…
After being raised in the mansion for a few days, Ming Tan’s foot injury obviously improved, Xu knew that Jiang Xu was in the mansion, and no one dared to disturb the mansion these days. Even Suxin and Lue seldom appear in the house, and Jiang Xu is taking care of drinking medicine and applying medicine.
When the wound on the foot healed, there were indeed two faint scars left, but they were not as serious as what Dr. Zhuang Zhong said, and they would fade away naturally after a while.
After taking a bath at night, Jiang Xu Kuanyi sat by the couch, looked at Ming Tan’s white and tender feet, and asked, “Do you want to use Shuanghua ointment?”
“Of course.” Ming Tan didn’t know what to think of, and said again, “Turn around.”
Jiang Xu turned his back to her according to his words.
She lifted up Jiang Xu’s shirt and looked at it, her eyes widened suddenly: “It’s really so effective!”
She couldn’t help stretching out her hand to touch it, and those scars really disappeared, only a few deep ones were still slightly visible, and it would be completely healed after two more uses.
Jiang Xu was silent: “Shuanghua ointment is rare, you can keep it for yourself, don’t waste it on me.”
Ming Tan paused, put down the hem of his clothes, took up Shuanghua ointment and wiped the wound on himself, and said guiltily: “Don’t be so sentimental, this is me, this is to use the wound on your back as a wound.” The experiment, although Imperial Physician Feng has seen it, but it is something on the upper body after all, how can I rub it on my body casually, of course I have to confirm that it is really useful. Well, now that it has been confirmed, you don’t have to think about it anymore It can still be used.”
Jiang Xu didn’t expose her, he just said “um”, took the Shuanghua ointment, and patiently applied it to her.
There were scars on the instep and soles of the feet. When it was applied to the soles of the feet, Ming Tan struggled to hold back for a while, but he still couldn’t hold back. He laughed and curled up his toes involuntarily.
“Hurry up… it’s itchy!”
Hearing this, Jiang Xu had a thought, deliberately slowed down his movements, and pinched her to prevent her from hiding. Ming Tan laughed so hard that he rolled on the bed, tears came out, and he kicked his feet indiscriminately, but he couldn’t make money. Open Jiang Xu’s hand.
After a while, Ming Tan’s belt was half loose, revealing most of her fragrant shoulders. The green pear fragrance on her body after bathing and the faint medicinal fragrance of Shuanghua ointment affected Jiang Xu’s nerves. Jiang Xu already put one hand on her ear, and leaned on her body.
His Adam’s apple was rolling up and down, his eyes were dark, and his eyes were full of desire.
The smile on Ming Tan’s lips froze for a moment, and his heart was inexplicably nervous, and there was also some strange, lingering… longing.
She avoided Jiang Xu’s eyes and swallowed with difficulty.
Immediately, a cold kiss landed on her neck, and slowly moved upwards, covering her cheeks, eyebrows, lips…
His kiss is still familiar, it seems that it can mobilize long-lost memories in an instant, Ming Tan is a little confused, and responds to him unconsciously.
The clothes gradually fell off, and the two got closer and closer. Ming Tan clung to him, secretly looking forward to a deeper intimacy, but Jiang Xu stopped at a critical moment, and whispered in her ear: “A Tan , can you?”
Ming Tan was awake for three minutes, but his body felt tight, and he still honestly needed his approach.
It’s just that she is still angry with him now, asking her to answer shamelessly, but she really can’t save face, so she can only hold back her broken voice and stare at him with no deterrent force. A small fist hammered on his shoulder.
Jiang Xu didn’t make things difficult for her anymore, he kissed her earlobe, and said in a rustling voice, “Then I will take it as your consent.”
Ming Tan hugged his neck tightly, and suddenly let out a heavy snort.
…
After waking up the next day, even though Ming Tan refused to admit it, he became more intimate with Jiang Xu unconsciously.
Autumn has passed from winter to winter, and spring is coming again. This year, the winter in Shangjing has snowed heavily. When the green trees sprout new buds and the ice and snow melt, Dingbei Palace finally has the scene of spring and everything coming back to life.
In the six months since Jiang Xu returned to Beijing from the northwest, Ming Tan showed signs of softening and forgiving early in the morning, but she never let go, and made some coquettish gestures from time to time. Seeing Jiang Xu’s patience and indulgence, she couldn’t help being presumptuous some.
Until the heavy snowfall on New Year’s Eve, Jiang Xu, who has always been like an iron man, suffered from a sudden wind and cold. He was ill for half a month, and he had a high fever, groaning, and drowsy. , and then he relaxed and said forgiveness.
“Why do I feel now… I’ve been deceived.” The more Ming Tan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and when he invited Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers, he murmured, “Physician Feng clearly said that if you take another bottle of medicine, the cold poison will disappear.” But I was worried, and I asked Doctor Feng for an extra bottle, so he had already finished two bottles of medicine, how could he still suffer from the cold because of the cold poison?”
“You think too much. There are many people who suffered from the wind and cold this time. What’s wrong with your Highness suffering from the wind and cold? He is not a god.” Bai Minmin continued bored.
“But I never saw him get a cold.”
“I’ll see you now?”
Ming Tan choked up, but still felt that something was wrong: “But this time it was windy and cold, and the other people could recover in at most five or six days. He is physically strong, absolutely incomparable to others, how could it take half a month?”
In the past six months, Zhou Jingwan has obtained a lot of rare calligraphy and paintings that Jiang Xuming gave to Lu Ting as a gift to her, so she spoke for him calmly: “Do you think His Highness is pretending to be sick or procrastinating to deceive you? If it is true, Think about it, what is the reason for His Highness to act like this at the expense of his own body? It is just because you are soft-hearted and forgiven, then this is enough to show that His Highness is sincere to you.”
“…”
Although there seems to be something wrong, it sounds reasonable.
Jiang Xu specially found Zhang Huaiyu a errand to go to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect, it is most suitable to take Bai Minmin to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, and Bai Minmin’s wish to go out of Beijing to play has come true, so he naturally closed his eyes to help: “Jing Wan is right , you have been tossing and tossing for half a year. Today you want to soak in the hot spring of Wuyin Mountain, and tomorrow you want to see a flash in the pan. How can your prince not follow you? Besides, the imperial doctor said that only one bottle is good, you must It might be counterproductive for people to eat two bottles.”
“…”
It seems that there is some truth to it.
Ming Tan thought for a while, then nodded slowly, didn’t think any more, just coughed twice, couldn’t help shaking his snow-white wrist to show off.
Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan looked at each other, and praised the venue very much——
“Why is this bracelet so beautiful? This jade has a special color and is so pure and transparent!”
“I noticed it just now. This is Qinglian Jade from Yuncheng? I heard that it is very difficult to find. The jade beads in your hand have been ground into jade beads of the same size, which is even rarer.”
“Last month your lord went to Yuncheng on business, and it was your lord who found it for you again, right?”
Ming Tan bent his lips, and in front of the little sister, he also pretended to be half helpless and half showing off: “Last month, he went to Yuncheng with brother-in-law of the Li family to do business, and he found it back, and he didn’t tell me that it was half a month before the golden pavilion rushed to work. It came out. A few days ago, my cousin Hua came to the mansion and saw this bracelet and mentioned it by the way, it took him a lot of effort to find this Qinglian jade in Yuncheng, and he didn’t sleep a wink for several nights.”
Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan drank tea tacitly, and said silently in their hearts: When did Shen Hua mention something casually? Don’t even think about how Li Jiaerlang got into the household department.
Seeing the two of them drinking tea, Ming Tan also took a sip of the buttered tea made by the new Northwest cook in the mansion.
It’s just that as soon as he swallowed the butter tea, Ming Tan felt inexplicably nauseated.
Seeing this, Su Xin hurriedly stepped forward to cover her lips and spit it out, then picked up tea and let her moisten her throat.
Ming Tan looked disgusted: “This butter tea is really boring, take it away quickly.”
Bai Minmin and Zhou Jingwan glanced at their tea bowls, feeling inexplicable in their hearts, they were a little tired, but they wouldn’t react so badly just after taking half a sip.
Bai Minmin didn’t know what was coming to her mind, she was suddenly blessed, and said casually, “Your prince isn’t coming back for dinner today, is he? Then I can stay in the palace for dinner. By the way, Suxin, I like it.” Eat the steamed fish cooked by the chef in your house, and quickly order the kitchen to prepare one.”
“Yes, servant girl is going now.”
…
At dinner time, a sumptuous dinner was served in the side hall of Qi’an Hall. Bai Minmin ordered steamed fish, but ordered someone to put a bunch of other dishes in front of her. After coming and going, the steamed fish could only be placed in front of Ming Tan.
For some reason, Ming Tan felt that the fish smelled very fishy today, and he felt like vomiting when he smelled it.
But Bai Minmin ate happily, she couldn’t eat enough by herself, she even picked up a chopstick and insisted on stuffing it into Ming Tan’s mouth.
Ming Tan had no choice but to take it, and as soon as she took it in, she couldn’t stand it anymore, spat out the fish meat, and vomited heavily into the bowl that Su Xin sent in time.
Bai Minmin didn’t expect her reaction to be so big. While panicking, she couldn’t help feeling a little bit of joy in her heart. She hurriedly ordered: “Go and find the imperial physician, what is the name of the imperial physician who often asks the princess for a peace pulse? Feng imperial physician, yes, That’s right, it’s Imperial Physician Feng!”
Ming Tan turned pale from vomiting, and she also had a faint guess in her heart. She rinsed her mouth and looked weakly at Bai Minmin: “Do you have the intention to torture me to death?”
Not long after, Imperial Physician Feng hurried over with a medicine box on his back.
He skillfully took Ming Tan’s pulse, and when he finished, he withdrew his hand as if he was uncertain, and took the pulse again.
The pulse remains the same.
He got up quickly, and congratulated him respectfully: “The pulse condition is smooth, like pearls rolling on a jade plate, this is a slippery pulse, I congratulate Wangfei, you are happy!”
