Queen of flowers - chapter 90

Entering the Shou’an Hall for the third time, Yong Ruo didn’t “sit to drink tea” in that little flower hall, but was taken directly to the main room of Shen Taifei.
In the main room, the Princess mother was sitting on the couch in the middle, Princess Du was standing behind Princess Shen, and Princess Xing was sitting on the first ring chair on the east side.
“Yongmei, greets the Princess mother,” Yong Ruo stepped forward slowly, saluting Shen Taifei.
“Come up!” Said Shen Tai Fei lightly.
Yong Ruo straightened up, and thought, ‘Shen Tai Fei’s tone was very peaceful, what happened?’
“To tell you the truth, because of your background, I didn’t like you very much.” Shen Taifei still said in a faint tone, “Now that your grievances have been washed away, you are still a good woman. You didn’t tarnish the gates of the Princes and Xingjun’s House. You’ve been in the house for more than half a month, and I called you to see you.”
This remark made by Shen Tai Fei was reasonable, which not only explained her reason to treat Yong Ruo coldly, but also explained the reason for her attitude change at this moment.
Even Yong Ruo couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Shen Tai Fei really changed?’ She had doubts in her heart, but there was no strangeness in her expressions, she replied, “Thank you, Princess mother. Please ask Princess.”
“I heard that you have been drinking cow’s milk recently? Are you drinking together?” Her tone was still very peaceful, not like the usual one filled with accusations.
“Yes!”
“Why are you drinking it? Did the doctor ask you to?” She interrogated her in a peaceful manner.

Yong Ruo had anticipated this question from Shen Taifei, and calmly replied, “When I was a child, I heard Yu Fang Lang say that cow’s milk is very nutritious. Looking through the medical books, they also said that cow milk moisturizes the stomach, relieves heat and toxins, nourishes the heart and lungs and is a tonic. I wished to make myself healthy by drinking milk. This matter has been informed to Xu Taiyi, Xu Taiyi said we can try. “
“I heard …” Shen Fei said very slowly, “Your mother was very ill and was cured by a recipe made from cow’s milk?”
There was a flash of light in Yong Ruo’s head, and suddenly she understood the reason for all the good words said by Shen Taifei today, the Yang family’s son Yang Qigong!
Shen Taifei’s only biological daughter, Feng Yi, the princess of Xing’an County, was the wife of one of the sons of Yongchang!
She was one of the candidates for Yang Qigong. At the time of the marriage, Zhou and Yang Qi were both seriously ill; now that Zhou had recovered, how was Yang Qi? Hehe, did the Yang family regret remarrying, and involved Feng Yi in this matter?
She smiled and said, “Replying to Taifei, the beauty’s mother is not cured by this prescription. Xu Taiyi said personally that this prescription does have the effect of replenishing vitality, but he does not believe that this has the effect of bringing people back to life. He also said that maybe it could be that the soup medicine used by mother, and the ingredients in this recipe have some kind of effect together, and it was fortunate to heal mother. These words of XuTaiyi, the sister Mo Li besides the princess, should have heard it clearly. “
The role of “remedies” must not be exaggerated. Otherwise, if it couldn’t cure Yang Qi–this was inevitable–she would be easily provoked.
The most appropriate and safest thing to say was that she was lucky.
She wrote the “prescription” mainly to fool Xu Taiyi, a professional who knew Zhou’s condition well, and let milk appear in the recipes of those close to her.
Shen Taifei felt it was difficult to speak the next words, so she winked at the Princess Xing sitting next to her.
Princess Xing smiled and said, “I’m very interested in this recipe that can replenish my vitality! Yongmei, I’ll exchange recipes and a set of emerald and gold headdress with you, how about it?”
Yong Ruo calmly smiled and said, “Why do we need to exchange? If the princess is curious, I will write the prescription, Taifei and the princess please take a look.”
Princess sighed secretly and smiled very brightly, “Although you are generous, I can’t ask anything from you. When I said we exchange, then we exchange!” And laughed to Shen Taifei, “Mother-in-law, how about borrowing the four treasures from your study room?”
(Four treasures of the study room refers to the unique calligraphy and painting tools in China, that is, pens, inks, papers, and scrolls.)
Shen Taifei laughed and said, “Why not? I’m curious too!” Then she ordered a maid to bring the four treasures of the study.
“One thing I need to report to Taifei and the princess,” when waiting for the four treasures in the study room, Yong Ruo said solemnly, “I heard about this recipe when I was young, and I remembered it in my dream the other day. I was afraid to try it with others. I don’t dare to fool around with incorrect memories. In addition to leaving my family to try it, I only told this to Xu Taiyi. I thought that I would try it for a while, and dedicate it to my elders. If Taifei and Princess want to try it, they must ask your doctor first to see if it is appropriate.”
“Sure, now can you tell me?” Said the princess with a smile.
When the girl sent the four treasures in the study room, Yong Ruo wrote down the milk recipe, and gave it to Shen Tai Fei and Princess Xing to see, “My mother used the milk porridge recipe. This was the recipe I remembered a little bit more clearly. I was uncertain about my other recipes, and now my brothers are trying them out.”

When Princess Xing took over the formula, she first praised, “Yongmei is very powerful!”
Yong Ruo answerd modestly,”Princess overpraising me! It’s an honour to even meet you.” She also practiced calligraphy every day, and gradually learned how to write characters with a brush.
The princess glanced at the formula and sent it to Shen Taifei.
Shen Taifei looked at the recipe, and did not hesitate to reward Yong Ruo two sets of exquisitely crafted headdresses and some clothings. She also told her that she was a good concubine and that she needed to serve Wang Ye well before she let her leave.
Yong Ruo was very sad that she had not been given any contraceptive drugs in the Shou’an hall.
Huarou and other girls were happy, “Taifei has appreciated the Beauty. She will gradually understand the Beauty worth, and will like her more in the future!”
Yong Ruo didn’t have such dreams. She was only thinking about Yang Qigong’s illness in her heart.
If Yang Qigong was now her husband, she might have had a chance to save him. But now she married Feng Liao, Yang Qi was a stranger. Even if she was willing to earn points, there was no reason to explore Yang Qi’s disease, nor was it possible to feed elixir to Yang Qi. Therefore, Yang Qigong could only ask for her blessing!
