Chapter 347 One Day Before Departure
Chapter 347 One Day Before Departure
"Mother, who is your biological child?" Feng Wuhen asked helplessly, with a hint of grievance in his eyes.
He felt that his own mother had been bribed by his wife.
"How come you're jealous of your own wife, you little brat? That's useless! I still like my daughter-in-law more!"
Concubine Xian raised the corner of her mouth slightly and spoke with a smile, as if she wanted to deliberately anger Feng Wuhen to death.
Then, she turned her gaze to Jiang Yimo and asked softly, "Momo girl, do you still have the Qi-boosting pills you gave me last time?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but be stunned.
She remembered that she had just brought two bottles of Qi-replenishing pills to Concubine Xian when she entered the palace last time. How come they were used up so quickly?
Although she had doubts in her mind, she did not ask.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yimo nodded and said, "My Lady, I did make a lot of those Qi-boosting pills. If you need them, I can get you some more."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yimo took out two bottles of Qi-boosting pills from her small bag without hesitation and gently placed them in Empress Xian's hands.
Empress Xian looked at the Qi-boosting pill in her hand, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She had just asked casually, but she didn't expect Jiang Yimo to be so generous and directly gave her two bottles.
This generosity made Empress Xian's favorability towards Jiang Yimo increase even more.
"Momo, actually I'm asking you for these two bottles of Qi-boosting pills not for myself, but for the Queen."
Empress Xian explained with a smile, her tone sounding sincere and kind.
Jiang Yimo was immediately puzzled when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what happened to the Queen? Please tell me quickly!"
Concubine Xian frowned slightly, sighed softly and said, "A few days ago, I went to Fengqi Palace to pay my respects to the Empress. I happened to meet the imperial physician who was checking the Empress' pulse."
"I accidentally heard the imperial physician's diagnosis, which said that the queen's health was seriously weakened and her qi and blood were seriously insufficient. This caused her to often feel dizzy, nauseous and vomit, and her face was even more pale and dull..."
"Seeing the Queen's haggard appearance, I can't help but feel sad."
"In fact, I have long heard that the Queen had a difficult labor when she gave birth to Prince Sui. Although both mother and child were safe in the end, the Queen's health was severely damaged."
"From then on, the Queen was unable to conceive due to her weak body and could no longer bear children."
Having said this, Empress Xian paused for a moment, with a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Then she continued, "In addition, the Empress has been very lenient to me over the years and has never deliberately made things difficult for me. She has even helped me speak well of Him and the Empress Dowager many times."
"So, I gave one of the bottles of Qi-boosting pills you gave me to the Queen. Unexpectedly, after taking it for a period of time, the Queen's complexion really improved a lot."
Jiang Yimo listened quietly and nodded.
"Your Majesty, if the Queen needs you, please give it to her. I still have some on hand. I'll make it after you finish eating."
"Okay! Then I will lend you the flowers to offer to you."
After Empress Xian finished speaking, she chuckled.
After noon, the sun was still bright and shining. After Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo enjoyed a sumptuous lunch in Concubine Xian's palace, they couldn't wait to leave the palace.
Their purpose is very clear - to go to the bustling street market and buy the items they need for tomorrow's trip.
In fact, Jiang Yimo does not need to go out and purchase everything she needs herself.
Just give a gentle instruction and Feng Wuhen will naturally make all the arrangements.
However, Jiang Yimo insisted that it would be more appropriate for her to take care of her own diet and daily life herself.
After all, only the things you choose yourself are the most suitable for you.
The two of them strolled along the bustling streets, and Jiang Yimo enjoyed shopping to the fullest.
She looked at each item carefully, selecting the one she liked with great care.
The market here is full of ancient charm, and both food and supplies are pure natural green products.
She was delighted by this authentic shopping experience.
Although Jiang Yimo did not feel bored while conducting experiments and making medicine in the house, she was still keen on strolling through the ancient market.
Here, she can appreciate the wisdom and creativity of the ancients and feel the cultural heritage accumulated over the years.
Every stroll is like a journey through time and space, bringing her endless novelty and surprises.
Jiang Yimo spent a whole afternoon buying everything she needed, and Feng Wuhen accompanied her the entire afternoon in silence, pretending to get things for her.
As night falls, the lights are on.
In order to thank Feng Wuhen, Jiang Yimo personally cooked a table full of sumptuous dishes, all of which were Feng Wuhen's favorites: the chopped pepper fish head was fragrant and mouth-watering; the cabbage and tofu stewed were both delicious in color, aroma and taste, and just looking at them would increase one's appetite; the yam and pork ribs stewed had a rich broth and was rich in nutrition; and there was also the lean meat stir-fried with chopped green onions, which was tender and delicious, and exuded an enticing aroma.
After the food was ready, Jiang Yimo sent a servant to invite the genius doctor Nanqiao to come and have the meal together.
Although Feng Wuhen was reluctant from the bottom of his heart to let Nan Qiao share these delicious dishes cooked by Momo with him, when he thought of the pertinent suggestions Nan Qiao gave him last night, he decided not to bother with Nan Qiao about it.
However, what is funny and ridiculous is that when Doctor Nan Qiao heard that Jiang Yimo had once again personally cooked a table full of delicious food, he actually came uninvited without any hesitation.
"Girl Jiang! The food you cooked smells so good. As soon as I walked to the gate of the yard, I was attracted by the tempting aroma of the food."
Doctor Nan Qiao sniffed the aroma of the food in the air with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he had already tasted those delicious dishes.
Feng Wuhen in the room frowned immediately after hearing his words, and his eyes became cold and clear.
Then, he said sarcastically, "Your nose is really sharp, just like a wolfdog's nose."
Doctor Nan Qiao frowned and felt a little unhappy when he heard this, but he soon returned to normal and did not argue with Feng Wuhen. Instead, he said with a smile, "I am doing this for your own good. Jiang girl made so many delicious foods because I was afraid that you would be too full and unable to bear it. Besides, I have trained my nose so that I can smell smells that others cannot."
After saying this, he touched his nose triumphantly.
"Okay, stop bickering between the two of you. It would be better if Divine Doctor Nan Qiao came by himself, so I don't have to ask someone to call him. Let's eat now! Eat!"
Jiang Yimo hurriedly interrupted the quarrel.
