Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

 Chapter 781 Weird Reward

 But no matter how confused you are, the Li family cannot lack etiquette.

Soon, Li Zhensheng went out in person and welcomed the people from the palace in.

The visitor was a nun from the queen's side, bringing four maids with her, while the rest of the guards stayed outside the door.

The nun was carrying a food box, and the four maids were carrying trays covered with red satin.

With a smile on her face, Grandma greeted the Li family respectfully, and was then invited to sit down for tea.

She smiled and said: "Princess, the Queen and the Third Princess are dining together today. She mentioned that the Princess is not feeling well, and the Third Princess is thinking about you very much.

"The same is true for the Queen. After all, the Queen watched you grow up, so the Queen chose several sets of jewelry for you and asked the old slave to deliver them.

"I think the princess will be happy after seeing it, and her illness will be half cured."

 After saying that, she waved her hand, and the maid opened the red silk on the tray, revealing the contents.

 Four trays and four sets of red gold jewelry.

The style is not very exquisite, but it is very affordable. Each set may not be made without five or six taels of gold.

Four sets are more than twenty taels of gold, which can be exchanged for more than two hundred taels of silver!

This reward cannot be said to be very generous, but it does look very eye-catching, and it can be regarded as a favor to Jiayin, which shows that it is thoughtful.

Jiayin beamed with joy and quickly thanked her, "Thank you very much, Queen, for still thinking of me. When I fully recover, I will go to the palace to thank you."

The nanny took the opportunity to look at Jiayin carefully and saw that her face was a little thin and her complexion was not very good, but she was almost the same as an ordinary person.

Mammy felt confident, so she stood up with a smile, took a small pot from the food box, and covered it with a cotton cover to keep it warm.

She continued to smile and said: "Princess, this is the tonic soup that the empress drank recently. The empress has asked the doctor at the Taiyuan Hospital, and he said that it is particularly effective in strengthening the body, nourishing qi and blood.

“The queen ordered someone to cook a portion for you, drink it while it’s hot.”

Jiayin blinked her big eyes and frowned as she looked at the medicine pot, somewhat reluctantly.

“What kind of tonic is this? Is it bitter? I hate taking medicine the most!”

The nanny quickly said: "It's not bitter, it's not bitter. The princess doesn't know something, and the queen is also afraid of hardship.

"Since the queen can drink it, the taste must be good."

After saying that, she took out the medicine pot with her own hands, poured a bowl of brown soup, and sent it to Jiayin.

"Princess, please drink it while it's hot. The empress said that when you fully recover, she will invite you to the palace to enjoy the chrysanthemums. They are all famous products, and I am sure the princess will like them."

"Seriously?" Jiayin seemed to be very interested and asked, "Has the gardener in the palace raised Phoenix Zhenyu? Can I ask the empress for a flower seedling?"

The nanny glanced at the medicinal soup in the bowl, and said with a forced smile: "Princess, this old slave can't be the master.

"Why don't you drink the tonic soup quickly, go to appreciate the flowers when the time comes, and tell the Queen in person. The Queen loves you so much, let alone one flower seedling, eight out of ten will be fine!"

Jiayin nodded happily, and just as he was about to pick up the medicine bowl, he heard Li Zhensheng shout, "Wait a minute."

He stepped forward to take a closer look at the medicinal soup. He looked up and saw that before he could put away the panic in his grandma's eyes, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

It was strange that the Queen suddenly came to reward me, but it was even weirder to bring a pot of boiled medicinal soup with her!

If you really want to reward someone with something to replenish your health, you can give them supplements, medicinal materials, or even prescriptions. There is no need to boil them and deliver them.

Moreover, the good news must be drank immediately. It’s impossible not to drink it!

The grandma suppressed her panic and said, "I have studied medicine? But what's wrong with this tonic soup?"

"Mammy is serious. How can I dare to question the Queen's love?" Li Zhensheng shook his head, but still said with a smile: "It's just that the tonic soup may have become cold along the way, and the efficacy of the medicine must be compromised. "It's better. The prescription was given as a reward, and after we cooked it at home, the princess took it. "

The nanny quickly said: "To be honest with you, sir, this tonic recipe is a secret of the imperial physician's family and is not allowed to be passed on to anyone else.

“The queen also thought the medicine was effective, so she sent it to the princess.”

After saying that, she looked around at the Li family and added with a smile, "Isn't it that the eldest master can't trust the Queen?"

Li Zhensheng's expression paled and he replied: "I don't dare, I just want to ask a few more questions.

"After all, the princess is still young. Before the Northern Expedition, the Marquis had told us for a long time that our family should take good care of the princess. If anyone wants to do harm to the princess, he will not let it go when he comes back."

Mammy’s hand trembled, but she still pushed the medicine bowl forward.

“Princess Princess, drink the tonic soup quickly, this old slave is in a hurry to go back and recover!”

Jiayin didn't seem to hear the sharpness of his words. He frowned, picked up the medicine bowl, covered his mouth with his sleeve, and drank it all in one breath.

Finally she put down the bowl, smacked her lips twice, and said with some disgust, "This tonic soup is not bitter, but it is a bit fishy."

Mammy finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Maybe fish maw is added to this. This not only nourishes the body, but also beautifies the face. The princess won't feel the fishy smell after she is used to eating it."

 After saying that, she collected the medicine bowl and pot, then stood up and left.

Everyone in the Li family also got up and walked to the door.

Needless to say, with one nun and four maids, the Li family sent out five purses filled with hard-earned money.

When only his family members were left in the room, Li Zhensheng immediately asked: "Fu Niu'er, do you feel uncomfortable in any way? Can you please invite Divine Doctor Zhang?"

Jiayin smiled and waved his hand and asked: "Uncle, how do you know that this tonic soup has been tampered with?"

"What do you mean by tampering?" Before Li Zhensheng could say anything, Mrs. Li had already rushed forward and grabbed her granddaughter's hand, her face turned pale with fright.

Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru and others also gathered around, looking worried.

Jiayin quickly said: "Grandma, don't worry, the tonic soup is not poisonous, and I didn't drink it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at her with a good look, fearing that she would fall down in the next moment.

Jiayin finally appeased the family members and said, "I smelled seaweed in the tonic soup just now, and it tasted really good.

“This seaweed is not considered poisonous and will not kill people, but if you drink it, you will not experience any symptoms at first, but you will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after two days, and you will be sick for at least five or six days.

“In this way, even if a doctor comes to diagnose the pulse, the doctor will think that the patient has caught a cold or has eaten the wrong food, which is why there is a problem.

"Fortunately, it is not difficult to treat vomiting and diarrhea. It will definitely not be life-threatening, but it will be a bit painful."

 Old Mrs. Li was angry at the time, "Our family has not offended the Queen recently. Why would she send you tonic soup and make you suffer?"

Tao Hongying also scolded: "Even if she is a queen, she can't harm other people's children like this! Fortunately you didn't drink, otherwise what would you do if you had vomiting and diarrhea!"

Li Zhensheng signaled everyone to be calm and asked the good news, "Fu Niu'er, what do you think of this matter?"

Jiayin was also puzzled and said: "If our family really offends the queen, or if the queen dislikes me and wants my life, then she should be poisoned, and it cannot be sent with such a big fanfare.

“So, the queen’s real purpose should be to make me a little sick. Even if I am found out and my life is not in danger, neither our family nor even the emperor will do anything to her.

“I just don’t know why she made me sick for a few days.

“Could it be that I might be an obstacle to whatever she is going to do these days, so she wants me to ‘fall down’ temporarily?”
