Chapter 60 Out of Trouble
The imperial concubine was able to live so-so these two days, purely because the emperor knew many plants and trees in the nearby forest, and relied on his previous hunting experience to catch some rabbit muntjacs and the like.
At this moment, the emperor sprained his ankle, which made it difficult for him to move. The task of finding food naturally fell on Yun Fenghuang.
It's just that she grew up in the Northland, and most of the flowers, plants and trees here in Qishan are unknown to her, and now she must be taught by the emperor.
Originally, the emperor didn't pay attention when Yun Fenghuang brought up this matter. Although he always felt that the concubine was cunning, he also admitted that she was a smart and quick-witted person, so he just gave her some pointers. The mountain folk children who don't know a single big character can speak clearly and logically, right?
In the end, it took him a long time to explain, and Yun Fenghuang nodded and suddenly realized that he had indeed brought back a lot of things after going out for a while. But if it wasn't for his sharp eyes and snatching a plant in time, she would have almost made her throw the poisonous weed into the bonfire as an insect repellant and set the two of them down.
The emperor saw that he knew something, checked them one by one, and almost laughed angrily: In this big handful, there are only poisonous weeds and weeds, not to mention two or three wild vegetables that can be eaten, and they are still the worst tasting ones, which are simply perfect. Avoid the categories he urges you to pick!
"My dear concubine, I may not have made it clear just now." The emperor was generous after all, and he did not get angry after calming down. She carefully analyzed the fallacies, and even asked her to go out and break a branch, and drew on the ground some of the most common wild vegetables and herbs that were found at the entrance of the cave, "Take a break, Let’s go look for it later.”
Yun Fenghuang nodded while watching with a solemn expression, and patted his chest to promise that he would never disappoint his expectations this time... It's just that the emperor doesn't believe her now, and he doesn't ask too much, and half of the things he gets back will be worth it. Just eat.
However, after a long while, facing another batch of poisonous weeds, weeds, and things that the emperor didn't know whether he could eat, the emperor was silent for a moment, and asked slowly: "How did the Qi family fall in love with you back then?"
"...Maybe it's because the Qi family doesn't need a concubine to look for food in the wild?" Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, then tentatively answered.
He was stabbed instead of inserting a knife, the emperor took a deep breath: "Forget it, help me out!"
Yun Fenghuang knew that he was wrong, and he was extremely courteous, but he was still a little unconvinced, and muttered: "Can you blame this concubine? Concubine, whose ten fingers do not touch the spring water, is fine with identifying exotic flowers and weeds." , the flowers and trees that can be seen everywhere in this kind of mountains and fields, how can we pay attention to them? I see that they all look similar... Shouldn't the efficacy of this medicine be similar?"
"What's the same?" The emperor shouted angrily, "The grass in the fire you just wanted to set on fire is extremely poisonous. If the livestock eat it by mistake, they will die in no time! What I asked you to find is insect repellent grass. It is safe to eat. Said, it also has the effect of clearing silt and relieving heat... Although the two are slightly similar in appearance, you can tell them apart with a little observation, you..."
He was angry, and Yun Fenghuang was even more angry: "Grapes and lychees are also slightly similar, but you can tell them apart at a glance, but aren't they all sweet in taste! It makes people dizzy, how can you blame the concubine?!"
emperor:"……"
Yun Fenghuang said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty does not say that the grass is wrong, but that the concubine is wrong. Could it be that in your Majesty's heart, the concubine is not as good as a grass?!"
The emperor said melancholy: "My dear concubine."
Yun Fenghuang said: "I am here."
"Can you shut up?" The emperor is very tired now, and he doesn't want to experience her nonsense at all.
Yun Fenghuang kept silent unhappily, and just supported the emperor to collect some wild fruits, vegetables and weeds outside, and beat a fat stupid rabbit. After returning to the cave, he started to deal with it under the emperor's guidance. She couldn't bear it anymore, and while struggling to choose vegetables, she asked puzzledly, "How does Your Majesty know these wild things so well?"
Looking at it is not something that can be familiar with ordinary ears and eyes.
I'm afraid it's the mountain people who have lived nearby for a long time who are able to do it with ease.
"Didn't you say that?" The emperor lazily said, "When I was in Fuyang County, I often went out to observe the people's sentiments? When I came to the Imperial Capital, I would hunt with the guards every year to accumulate some experience."
"But what does Your Majesty do with this kind of experience?" Yun Fenghuang asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, even if you are in the wilderness, there are still people who serve you, why bother to memorize these things yourself?"
The emperor looked at her with a half-smile: "Do you think I don't want you to serve me?"
The question is can you serve you!
I should be thankful that you didn't let me serve you instead!
Yun Fenghuang pretended not to hear, and just covered his mouth and smiled: "Did Your Majesty go out often when he was in Fuyang County? It really makes me feel strange."
The emperor said: "As a vassal king, it is reasonable to be sympathetic to the people of one side. What's so strange? Could it be that my concubine thinks that I am the kind of stupid king who doesn't know the difference between wheat and wheat?"
"Where is Your Majesty thinking?" Yun Fenghuang said casually, "I just heard that Your Majesty and Yue Jieyu were childhood sweethearts, and that Yue Jieyu was almost raised with His Majesty in front of the loving mother Empress Dowager when she was young. Yes. But Yue Jieyu couldn't see the slightest intention of going to the countryside, so she thought that His Majesty just stayed in the palace all day long and didn't go out."
"You think Fuyang County is the Northland?" The emperor looked at her vigilantly, seeing her struggling with the wild vegetables with her head down, and she seemed to be just chatting casually, so she said softly, "Even though Niang Niang is in Fuyang, she still counts her status." Noble, the queen mother dotes on her, it is not easy to show her face when she is a little older, let alone practice bow and horse like you, and go out hunting with father and brother."
Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart that this guy seemed to have inquired about him carefully enough, he even knew about participating in hunting.
She didn't care, instead she raised her head and smiled at the emperor: "Then, will your majesty take a concubine with you when hunting in the future? You know, a concubine will not drag you down!"
The implication is that we should not bring Yuan Niangniang, it is purely a burden.
The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can't you settle down?"
How long has it been since she escaped from the hunt, and she is actually trying to seek a promotion, benefit her natal family, and try to suppress other concubines... Well, a concubine who is only fifteen years old after all, young people are always energetic.
The emperor decided not to be as knowledgeable as her, "I don't know what's going on in the palace now, but you are thinking about hunting?"
"What are you afraid of, Your Majesty?" Yun Fenghuang said indifferently, "Your Majesty hasn't answered the concubine's body yet. Do you bring a concubine with you when hunting? Let's talk about it first. Even if Your Majesty doesn't bring a concubine, the concubine will go out by herself." Just for fun. Being locked up in Miyagi these days is very boring, and I just waited until I got to the palace so I can relax and get off quickly."
If you don't take Ben Gong with you, maybe Ben Gong can have a private meeting with Qi Jiulu in the forest or something...
"Nonsense!" the emperor shouted, "How can you be such a concubine! You have no dignity!"
Yun Fenghuang said straightforwardly: "Why is my concubine not dignified and unreserved in front of people? Isn't this in front of your majesty! Why is it wrong for me to treat your majesty with sincerity? Then I promise that I will not be afraid of what your majesty likes in the future." Show it to His Majesty, even if you can't learn it temporarily, you have to find an actor and work hard to learn it! After all, I like Your Majesty the most!"
"..." The emperor was quite speechless, "Forget it, if I go out hunting, I will take you with me, is that done?"
Seeing Yun Fenghuang smiling Xie En, he couldn't help sighing, "You just met Zhen..."
Try another emperor with a more violent temper!
"It can be seen that my concubine has a lot of blessings." But Yun Fenghuang didn't mean to thank him, but said happily, "I deserve to enjoy the glory and wealth!"
The emperor was silent for a while, and suddenly took out a few plants from a pile of wild vegetables: "My concubine has been living outside for the past two days, and her skin has become much rougher. stop."
Then Yun Fenghuang happily accepted it, and after a while, she finally tossed the dinner. She bit it down, and her whole body became ill: "Your Majesty! Why is it so bitter?!"
"Normal." The emperor was in a good mood and spread a sour wild fruit on the barbecue, smiling, "The medicine tastes bitter."
Seeing the concubine looking at him suspiciously, he said slowly, "If my concubine can't bear it, why don't you give it to me?"
"Okay!" Yun Fenghuang rolled his eyes and gave him a few leaves of grass that he hadn't touched. Seeing that the emperor didn't change his face, he could even eat it leisurely without any reluctance. She took it back, "After all, it is His Majesty's wish, how can I be too much for a concubine?"
Well, it should be beneficial for the emperor to eat it himself...?
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang swallowed the "emperor's heart" with great pain and hatred. This kind of herb, which the emperor said he didn't know the scientific name but only knew the effect, was a hell of a good medicine. It was so bitter to Yunfeng After Huang finished eating, he ate several mouthfuls of roasted rabbit meat, and made some sweet vines to chew for a while. Before going to bed, his mouth was still full of bitterness!
Never eat it again next time!
Anyway, I am so beautiful, and I am still young, I will definitely be able to raise it when I go back to the palace and raise it!
Yun Fenghuang swears so.
But when he got up the next day, he saw the tender back of his hand, which was not as pampered. After thinking about it for a while, he finally took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, are there many herbs that nourish yin and beauty around here?"
The emperor looked at her with some surprise: "Doesn't Aifei feel bitter?"
"It's bitterness." Yun Fenghuang said with sincerity and affection on his face, "But it's His Majesty's sympathy for my concubine's body. The concubine's body is bitter in his mouth and sweet in his heart!"
It's not that you, a bastard, dragged Bengong to live in the wilderness, so that his beauty was damaged, so he had to suffer this crime!
"Then I'll find some more for you later?" The emperor remained calm, turned his head to make sure that she couldn't see it, and then grinned silently——for the next two days, the emperor found it for her very enthusiastically. There are a lot of these herbs, which are more bitter and unpalatable each time, so that Yun Fenghuang was a little dazed afterwards: "Your Majesty, Mr. Deng and the others haven't found it yet? They don't think they want you?"
Emperor: "... Concubine Ai, calm down, I have almost recovered, if they don't come for another two days, we will find our own way out."
Maybe God also felt that the imperial concubine had been tossed enough during this time. On the next day, the two were supporting each other to find food in the forest, and they heard the sound of shouting from a distance!
"Your Majesty, I want to reward Mr. Deng for ten days, no, one month, no, three months of Coptis chinensis, what do you think?!" After a long time, the two finally got on the soft sedan chair with local materials , before getting into the sedan chair, Yun Fenghuang took the emperor's hand and demanded through gritted teeth, "Ten catties of Coptidis Coptidis boiled into a bowl, no, the one in a small pot!"
