The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 63 063 Praying for Rain

Before noon, Chu Qianchen returned to the Hou Mansion.

She originally thought she might come back late today, so she specifically informed Shen before going out.

When she came back now, she went directly to the main courtyard.

Soon, a little maid led her to the corridor to wait, and she went in to report.

Chu Qianchen heard a familiar female voice coming from the hall: "...Today the emperor went to Yuanqing Temple and asked Taoist Master Xuanjing to pray for rain."

Chu Qianchen immediately recognized that the owner of the voice was Grandma Rong, whom she had met once in Jishi Hall.

After being reminded by Grandma Rong, Chu Qianchen remembered that at this time in his previous life, it seemed that it might not have rained for a long time, and then in summer, it became even more unbearably hot.

At that time, Aunt Jiang said she was afraid of the heat, so she gave Aunt Jiang all the ice in her share. However, she herself suffered from heat stroke, and the scars on her face that had not healed festered.

But she couldn't remember whether the emperor in the previous life asked Taoist Master Xuanjing to pray for rain, and when it rained later. It had been such a long time ago that she couldn't remember.

Chu Qianchen stopped listening to what was said inside and looked at the courtyard outside the hall.

The peach blossoms in the yard are almost withered, and pink petals are blooming on the branches. When the wind blows, the petals sway gently.

The corners of Chu Qianchen's mouth curled up, looking relaxed and content.

"Second Miss, Madam, let you in." After a while, the little maid came out again and led Chu Qianchen into the main room.

In the main room, in addition to Mrs. Shen and the serving servants, as expected, Grandma Rong beside Princess Jingjun was also there.

Chu Qianchen walked forward without looking away and said blessing to Mrs. Shen, "Mother."

Aunt Rong was looking at Chu Qianchen, her lips pursed.

Hearing the maid call Chu Qianchen "Second Girl" just now, he knew that she must be the concubine of the favored Aunt Jiang.

Look at this charming appearance and exquisite figure, she is probably carved from the same mold as her biological mother, enchanting.

"Sister Chen, sit down." Mrs. Shen asked Chu Qianchen to sit down with a smile, her attitude was friendly, which surprised Grandma Rong.

Then, Mrs. Shen continued to say to Aunt Rong: "Does your princess have anything else to do?"

Aunt Rong withdrew her gaze and smiled politely: "Madam, our princess asked your servant to ask you, has the cousin ever given our county master a crescent-shaped sachet?"

"Crescent-shaped sachet?" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows, "Sister Huang is still in the palace. I'll ask her when she comes back in a few days."

"Mother," Chu Qianchen said, "I gave that sachet to the county chief."

Shen looked at her.

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "That day, I saw a little girl rushing into the rockery in the garden, and there was no one else around. I saw that she seemed to be frightened, so I gave her a sachet."

"The spices in the sachet are mixed by myself. They have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind."

"Later, the eldest sister came over and I found out that she was the head of Hui'an County of Prince Jing's Palace."

When Chu Qianchen was in Jishi Hall, she used her veil to slightly conceal her voice. She believed that Grandma Rong wouldn't be able to hear it.

Aunt Rong was doubtful of Chu Qianchen's words and looked at her carefully.

Chu Qianchen looked back calmly, his eyes clear.

She only explained the ins and outs without adding any more details. Her expression revealed a kind of indifference and open-mindedness that was unfazed by humiliation. Instead, Shen frowned slightly.

That day, Sister Huang didn't tell her that Qiniang was frightened and ran away alone. Fortunately, she met Sister Chen. Otherwise, she doesn't know what would have happened...

Hey, after all, Sister Huang has nothing to do, and her behavior is not as steady as Sister Chen. When she comes back, I have to talk about her, and I must not be so disrespectful in the future.

"Aunt Rong," Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "Sister Chen has some medical skills. Let Qiniang play with the sachet."

What she meant was that she could guarantee that there was nothing wrong with the sachet, so Shen Wan didn't have to worry.

Mother Rong naturally understood, and was even more surprised by Mrs. Shen's attitude towards this concubine.

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Rong agreed with a smile.

With Shen's guarantee, it was no longer convenient for her to ask Chu Qianchen what medicinal materials were in the sachet.

She was thinking in her mind that when the princess took the county master to Jishi Hall for a follow-up consultation in a few days, she might be able to ask the little miracle doctor to identify the medicinal materials in the sachet. Otherwise, the princess would not be able to feel at ease.

Aunt Rong glanced at Chu Qianchen again, thinking that she just said that the sachet has the "effect of calming the mind and calming the energy", she couldn't help but think: Today, the county master seems to be suddenly much better and can speak. Could it be this? The reason for the sachet?

This thought flashed through Grandma Rong's mind.

Soon, she felt that she had thought too much.

"Then I'll go back and report to the princess." Aunt Rong blessed Mrs. Shen, "I'll take my leave now."

Mrs. Shen asked her maid Dongmei to help her see off the guests, and Dongmei personally led Grandma Rong out.

Mrs. Shen asked someone to serve tea again and asked gently: "Sister Chen, did you go to Yuanqing Temple today?"

The reason why she asked this was because she saw the food box in Amber's hand. The food box had the mark of Yuan Qingguan on it.

Yuanqingguan has always been very popular, at least 30 to 40% of which comes from their vegetarian food, especially those pastries that are particularly delicious.

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Mother's eyes are really sharp."

Amber presented the food box to him.

This food box has two layers. The first layer contains cloud cakes, which are as white as gelatin, delicate and soft; the second layer contains four-color dumplings, all of which are exquisitely made and beautiful.

Mrs. Shen took a piece of cloud cake and tasted it, praised it a few times, wiped the crumbs on her hands with a handkerchief, and then changed the topic and said, "I heard that the emperor also went to Yuan Qing Temple today."

"Did the emperor go too? I didn't see him. Maybe I left a little early." Chu Qianchen said truthfully, feeling that it was a bit strange that Shen suddenly mentioned this matter.

She took a sip of hot tea, a smile on her lips, and sat obediently.

Mrs. Shen raised her hand and made a gesture, signaling for all the servants in the room to leave, leaving only Nanny Chen waiting at the side.

Shen said: "It is said that the emperor went to pray for rain today. At that time, the emperor talked to Taoist Master Xuanjing alone for a while. After he came out, someone heard him telling the prince that His Highness Prince Chen was seriously ill. , I'm afraid I won't live long..."
