mentioned the Chinese court, and many people's impressions may come from film and television dramas.
or a few women like "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are full of intrigue and intrigue; or as depicted in "Kangxi Dynasty", the emperor is diligent in ruling, serving the country and the people, and relieves internal and external troubles; or in "The Deer and Ding Ji" The courtiers made contributions to the country, were promoted to official positions, married a confidante, and reached the pinnacle of life.
But is written by the Japanese author, what is the Chinese court like? The manga
won the first place in the "Next Manga Awards 2019", and the high-quality original light novel even adapted two versions of the manga at the same time, which is "The Whisper of the Medicine House Girl" .
The story takes place in an overhead era with ancient China as the background. When Mao Mao, a girl who lives in Huajie and works for a medicine house, was going up the mountain to collect medicine, she was unfortunately kidnapped by human traffickers and sold herself into the palace to become a palace maid in the harem. Since
is in the harem, naturally he can't help himself. According to the sales contract, unless the contract expires, he cannot leave the harem .
Fortunately, apart from the adoptive father who runs a drugstore in Huajie, Maomao has nothing to worry about. Right now there is no other way but to do the work in front of you silently and look forward to leaving the palace and returning home soon.
In the harem, everyone has a chance, but there is never a shortage of ambition and trickery. Even an illiterate maid, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be favored by the emperor, and overnight from a sparrow to a phoenix, to become the emperor's concubine.
The scent of the nose, the gorgeous clothes, the light smile, everything around is like the flower street that I once stayed in, and there is desire everywhere, all of which are seen by the cat.
and everything around him is out of tune, it is the cat himself.
She has no intention of competing for favor , her barren breasts, freckles on her face, and thin body make her unfit for children; she also has no intention of getting promoted to make money , anyway, in the end, the salary of hard work will only fall into the pockets of human traffickers.
But life in the harem is never quiet.
For some unknown reason, in the harem, the princes died one after another. Long ago, three princes died inexplicably in swaddling infants. Nowadays, the prince born to Concubine Lihua and the princess born to Concubine Yuye are also very weak.
The legend about the "curse" spread in the harem , for a time, everyone in the harem was panicking.
The "curse" has not been resolved for a long time, and the prince born to Concubine Lihua also died of weakness. In this dangerous harem, his child died inexplicably, it must be someone else!
For the death of the child, the two concubines did not care about their own face and fought in front of the medical officer and everyone. The onlookers talked a lot, and the imperial doctor was helpless. Among the
crowd, only Mao Mao sees through the truth of the matter .
"Headache and abdominal pain, as well as vomiting and the gradually emaciated body of the concubines..." Through the symptoms circulated in private, and the previous medical experience, the cat is enough to conclude that this is by no means a curse!
With the sense of justice as a doctor, Mao Mao wants to save the remaining princess. In a harem where not many people can read, it is no easy task to get a pen and paper.
So Mao Mao used his knowledge of pharmacy, tore off the skirt corners as paper, took branches as pen and ink, and tied the letter to the strange-smelling heather, and secretly placed it on an unmanned table, hoping to attract the attention of Concubine Yuye.
Mao Mao originally thought that actions were foolproof and that no one would notice him. But he didn't want to be noticed by the eunuch named Jinshi.
This "eunuch" is a mysterious existence in the harem.
's beautiful face is enough to fascinate many concubines and palace maids, and disturb the peace of the harem. He also has an extraordinary position in this harem, managing the affairs of the harem.
Through the feature of literacy, Jinshi took the opportunity to find Mao Mao, and took Mao Mao to meet Yuye Fei. In the letter, Mao Mao told the truth about the "curse", thus saving the child's life. After the truth of
came to light, Mao Mao had to confess how he deduced the truth of the "curse". The
pharmacy is located in Huajie, and cats and cats naturally often come into contact with those dusty women. She understands that the so-called "high-end" rouge gouache used by the dusty women, behind the seemingly beautiful, is the lead that kills people.
They were coerced into the pursuit of beauty in the flower street, and they did everything for beauty. On the scale of life and beauty, they chose the latter, but they all lost it in the end.
As a physician, seeing the terminally ill die, there is nothing I can do. Blind or stupid, cats have no right to interfere in their lives.
is just such a helpless sight, deeply imprinted in Mao Mao's memory.
Maomao's talent has been appreciated by Yu Ye Fei and Jin Shi, and it is logical to be promoted to Yu Ye Fei's maid. It's just that the job after the promotion is even more dangerous - , she became , the poison tester of Concubine Yuye.
Every job has become a gamble, a little carelessness may lead to death , the only thing a cat can rely on is his rich knowledge of pharmacology and his drug testing experience for medical experiments. experience.
But challenges are often accompanied by opportunities. With the work of drug testers, Cats can have a deeper understanding of the properties of different poisons. At the same time, because of Jinshi's pharmaceutical commission, the cat is free to use the harem's pharmacy.
The misfortune in the eyes of others has become a sense of luck for Mao Mao.
However, the challenges of the harem are much more than that.
The emperor who visited Concubine Yuye gave Maomao an order to "heal the sick Concubine Pear". Cat followed the order and went to take care of Concubine Pear. He planned to take care of Concubine Pear first by improving his diet, but was hindered by the maids.
was originally meant to benefit the patient's diet, but the maid thought it was poor food, knocked it over mercilessly, and still served those foods that were too nutritious but made it difficult for the patient to swallow, even as a doctor. The cat is close to the pear flower concubine.
There is no progress in the treatment, and if the Concubine Lihua is not cured, the cat will be executed. Fortunately, Jinshi came forward to win a chance for Mao Mao. After
took the pulse, Maomao found that the seriously ill Concubine Lihua was still wearing makeup!
, as a doctor, she angrily asked the maid next to her, but the answer she got was: If can maintain the most beautiful posture, then Mr. Ewha will be happy too .
trampled on life like this, used his own standards to arbitrarily decide on others, which completely angered the cat.
She slapped the maid mercilessly and poured half a box of rouge on the maid's face.
z3After z
, all the rouge was recovered, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks about the treatment of cats and cats, and Concubine Lihua's body improved little by little.
On the hospital bed, Concubine Lihua, who was suffering from the pain of losing her child, asked Mao Mao: Why don't you let yourself die like this instead of living in pain?
and Maomao just replied indifferently: " will eat the porridge, doesn't he just want to live? "
Since he chose to live, he should go on unswervingly!
One wave after another, there is always an undercurrent in the harem. Major forces and various mysteries are also emerging one after another.
