Chapter 118 Mosquitoes
Mr. Jiang remained angry for a while, and then went to his mansion in the capital to take care of things.
Jiang's mother has already started preparing to leave from Liuzhou to go to Beijing.
During the Chinese New Year, concubines of fourth rank or above can summon the female family members in their palaces after the New Year.
Mother Jiang was weak, so she set off half a month early.
It only takes half a month for ordinary people to travel from Liuzhou to Shangjing.
Back to the palace, Concubine Shen De has not been able to sleep well in recent days. It is already late autumn, the weather has turned colder, and for some reason there are many mosquitoes in her palace.
It disturbed her so much that she couldn't sleep well at night. She usually woke up early in the morning with several bites on her arms, face, and neck.
Concubine Shen De felt strangely tight, so she called the imperial doctor over to check.
The imperial doctor couldn't explain the reason, so he only left ointments to relieve swelling and pain, mugwort and medicinal powder to repel mosquitoes and insects.
Concubine Shen De placed mugwort and sprinkled medicinal powder in the palace, but the mosquito problem still did not improve.
Finally, in desperation, the imperial doctor gave him a suggestion: put some tuberose in the palace. This plant can repel mosquitoes.
And put a few lilies in the bedroom. The fragrance of lilies can easily make people unable to sleep at night. The imperial doctor specifically told them to put less lilies and put them farther away.
These are flowers that are out of season, but fortunately they are still cultivated in the greenhouse. Firstly, lilies are beautiful, and it is inevitable that some masters in the palace would like to use them to arrange flowers. Secondly, lilies can be used as medicine, and they are also used in the Imperial Hospital.
Help plant some.
As for tuberose, it is purely because of its effectiveness in repelling mosquitoes. There are many flowers and plants in the greenhouse, which is easy to attract mosquitoes, so many insect-repelling flowers and plants are planted.
Therefore, Concubine Shen Defi got these two kinds of flowers very smoothly. Because Yong'an Palace was plagued by mosquitoes, Concubine Shen De asked for several pots of tuberose and only a few lilies.
The effect of these flowers and plants on repelling insects is very obvious, but for some reason, Concubine Shen Defei couldn't sleep well at night.
Not only do I suffer from insomnia every night, but I also often have nightmares.
Concubine Shen Defi guessed that it was because of the fragrance of lilies in the bedroom, so she asked the palace maid to remove the lilies. Sure enough, after removing the lilies, Concubine Shen De slept particularly sweetly.
But when she woke up the next morning, there were several more bags on her arms, and Concubine Shen had to move the lilies back.
Concubine Shen Defi called the imperial doctor over again to take a look. The imperial doctor just said that Concubine Shen De was thinking too much, which led to insomnia and dreams, so she asked Concubine Shen De to relax and have a good rest.
Concubine Shen De has been tortured quite a lot these days.
Jiang Yuming felt a little cold when she got up in the morning, so she asked Huiju to take out the winter clothes she had made early in the morning and put them on, and then Jiang Yuming got up.
Now she is only 18. Yesterday she was wearing a thin coat when she went for a ride, but today she is wrapped in a winter coat and carrying a soup bag.
It really is winter that comes overnight.
Jiang Yuming nestled on the imperial concubine's couch and refused to move.
The outside is very grand, the door and window frames are rattling, and the sky is gloomy, it looks like it's going to rain.
"Your Majesty, Bai Yingxing is here." Huilan was blessed and led Bai Yingxing in.
Jiang Yuming poked her head out of the fox cloak: "Luoxia is here."
"Sister Jin An, I thought it was getting cold, so I brought some hot pastries over to my sister." Bai agreed and put the food box in his hand on the low table.
