Chapter 798: Eating from the Bowl and Watching the Pot(1/2)
After leaving Changle Palace.
Luo Qinghan sat in a dragon chariot and walked towards Yunxiu Palace. On the way, he happened to meet Fang Wujiu, who was also going to Yunxiu Palace.
Fang Wujiu was wearing a navy blue imperial physician uniform and carrying a heavy medical box on her shoulders.
The cold wind blew his clothes and his figure was as straight as loose.
He bowed to the emperor.
"I pay homage to the Emperor."
Luo Qinghan sat upright in the car with the door wide open.
He looked at the other person from a high place, his voice seemed particularly cold in the cold wind.
"What are you doing in Yunxiu Palace?"
Fang Wujiu: "Your Majesty has checked the spices you gave to me before. I came to report the results to you, and I will ask you for a safe pulse to the concubine."
Luo Qinghan: "What is the test result? Is there any problem?"
Fang Wujiu said truthfully: "The ingredients of those spices are normal and there is no problem."
Luo Qinghan was not very surprised by this result.
Even if the Empress Dowager really wants to do something, she would not use such obvious means.
Luo Qinghan closed the car door casually: "Let's go."
The dragon chariot continued to drive forward.
Fang Wujiu followed behind the chariot with a medical box on her back.
The group came to Yunxiu Palace.
In the side hall, Xiao Xixi was still playing cards with Concubine Li, Concubine Min, and Concubine Yao.
Concubine Li was already in a state of redness.
The silver ingots and beaded hairpins and jewelry in front of Xiao Xixi were almost piled up.
Concubine Min and Concubine Yao also lost some, but they did not lose as much as Concubine Li.
Concubine Li loves face and has a strong desire to win and lose. She always wants to save up big things, and then finish all the cards in one breath to get a beautiful victory.
As a result, she always held a lot of cards in her hand and was reluctant to take them apart.
After the others discovered her problem, they deliberately opened the cards and played them.
After everyone else had finished playing the cards, Concubine Li was still holding a lot of cards in her hand.
Concubine Li is really angry!
She threw the card in her hand hard onto the table.
"Come again!"
She doesn't believe she can't even win one!
At this moment, the singing of green pine sounded outside the door.
"The Emperor is here!"
Concubine Li was so scared that she almost got into the table and lowered.
Yao Jieyu also trembled all over, her brain appeared briefly blank, and she was stunned.
Agile quickly reminded: "Hurry up and put away the cards!"
Concubine Li and Concubine Yao woke up like a dream and hurriedly collected the cards.
However, they were still one step late.
The emperor had already strode in.
He saw the cards on the table that had not been able to put away at once.
Concubine Li, Concubine Yao, and Concubine Min were holding the cards and froze together. They didn't know whether to continue collecting the cards or get up to greet them.
Xiao Xixi was not panicked at all and calmly stood up to greet him.
"I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Concubine Li, Concubine Yao, and Concubine Min hurriedly threw away the cards and stood up to salute.
Luo Qinghan walked to Xiao Xixi, looked at the cards on the table, and asked expressionlessly.
"You guys have fun?"
Xiao Xixi smiled flatteringly and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, so it's good to play cards and pass the time."
Concubine Li secretly glanced at the emperor, but she didn't even look at him when she saw the emperor.
In his eyes, he could only see the imperial concubine, and everyone else was full of air.
If it were the past, Concubine Li would definitely be disappointed and sad at this time.
But now, she just wants to roll her eyes.
While pretending to be obsessed with Concubine Xiao, he also spoiled the Concubine as if she was heart-wrenching.
Eat what is in the bowl and look at what is in the pot.
Bah, dog man!
While exuding fragrance in his heart, Concubine Li bowed respectfully and said goodbye.
Concubine Yao Jie and Concubine Min also knew what the emperor was like, so they quickly followed and left Yunxiu Palace with Concubine Li.
As for that deck of cards, they were left in Yunxiu Palace.
It’s not that Concubine Li didn’t want that deck of cards anymore, but that the emperor was still standing next to her. She really didn’t have the courage to collect cards in front of the emperor.
She decided to come to play cards with the imperial concubine tomorrow, and then win back the money she lost today.
Xiao Xixi pulled Luo Qinghan and sat down at the table.
"Look, these are the money I won today!"
Luo Qinghan glanced at the pile of money and said indifferently: "You are going to get rich."
Xiao Xixi smiled proudly: "Let me go back and I'll invite you to eat the mutton pot, the kind you can eat whatever you want!"
Luo Qinghan smiled: "Then I'll wait for you."
At this time, Fang Wujiu walked in with the medicine box on her back.
When Xiao Xixi saw him, her eyes lit up and she waved her hand to turn back everyone.
She ran over happily: "Senior Brother!"
Fang Wujiu put down the medicine box: "I'll take your pulse."
Xiao Xixi immediately reached out his right hand obediently.
Fang Wujiu pinched her wrist.
Luo Qinghan stood beside him and looked expressionlessly.
Usually, when the imperial physician takes the concubines' pulse, he would cover the concubines' wrists with silk. Some of the more particular old doctors would use hanging silk to diagnose the pulse directly.
But Fang Wujiu and Xiao Xixi didn't have so much concern, so they just took the pulse without any obstruction.
But they still look open-minded.
It's really hard to say.
Under Luo Qinghan's death gaze, Fang Wujiu took a while to let go of his fingers and said warmly.
"The pulse is normal, nothing is wrong."
Xiao Xixi took back her hand and began to hold the senior brother to chat about family matters.
Luo Qinghan suddenly asked.
"Where is my jade pendant?"
Xiao Xixi looked at him: "What jade pendant?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's the jade pendant you made before. I remember wearing it all the time. Why is it gone?"
Xiao Xixi: "Maybe it was put in the bedroom."
She called Baoqin and asked Baoqin to search in the bedroom.
Soon Baoqin fell back with a ring jade.
Luo Qinghan took the jade pendant, touched it like a treasure, and then hung it carefully on his waist.
Fang Wu asked inadvertently as if he was drunk.
"Is this jade pendant made by Xixi himself?"
Luo Qinghan: "Yes, this is her birthday gift to me last year. By the way, she also prepared a gift for me on this birthday. It was full of lanterns in the yard, all of which were made by herself. She also drew paintings on the lanterns, but unfortunately you didn't see it."
