Chapter 207
In the courtyard of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the setting sun is gradually sinking to the west, and the curling smoke from the kitchen in the courtyard is also slowly disappearing into the night.

The kitchen hut was very quiet, the window sill was opened half a block, the cool evening wind was blowing in, and the frosty breath falling on the flowers and plants in the garden made Meng Siyin shiver.

She raised the stove and got busy, and the sound of chopsticks, spoons and dishes could be faintly heard in the main hall.

After a while, Meng Siyin prepared things here, and Zhao Xu also slowly entered the palace with the pot.

"Come back? Is the journey going smoothly?"

Meng Siyin picked up a handkerchief and wiped her hands, looking at him with a smile.

Zhao Xu raised his hand to touch her temples, and said in surprise:

"What's wrong with going to pick up things? Why do I feel so good when I go out?"

Meng Siyin just smiled and said nothing, she asked someone to set up the big hot pot table, and moved the things into the main hall.

The queen mother was shocked when she saw this huge monster, and said with great anticipation:
"Is this hot pot?"

Meng Siyin walked over, smiled and nodded, she bent her knees slightly, squatted down and said to the Queen Mother:
"Queen Mother, please move to the front hall, you can have dinner."

Meng Siyin carefully helped the queen mother up, helped her to sit in front of the table, and thoughtfully took a bib for her to wear.

"This is a bib, why are you wearing this thing?"

The queen mother looked at the thing in front of her, stretched out her hand to pull it, and asked a little puzzled.

Meng Siyin smiled and put the food on the table while explaining to the Queen Mother:
"This hot pot has to be boiled all the time. When you eat it, you will inevitably splash the soup on your body, so wear a bib so that your clothes will not be stained."

Like coaxing a child, she thoughtfully tidied up the bib in front of the Empress Dowager, and took the blue and white gilt bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of the Empress Dowager.

The others sat down one after another, Zhao Lan and Chu Baozhu couldn't wait any longer, they sat down at the table and adjusted the small ingredients with ease.

"This is?"

Meng Siyin smiled helplessly, she reached out and took the small bowl in front of the queen mother, took a little from each of the seven or eight kinds of seasoning bowls on the table, stirred them evenly in the bowl, and handed them to the queen mother.

"Queen Mother, this is the dipping sauce. When you eat later, dip the vegetables in this bowl, and it will be very delicious."

The queen mother probably understood, and Meng Siyin then ordered someone to turn up the stove, and the room became much warmer in an instant.

Within a quarter of an hour, big bubbles rolled up in the pot, and the red oil was shining brightly and seductively.

"You see, Queen Mother, pick up the food you want to eat, cook it in the pot for a while, and you can eat it when it floats."

Meng Siyin stirred the pot with a pair of long bamboo chopsticks.

A table of people ate a lot of warmth.

On the table in the main hall is a small purple jade incense burner with two unicorns protecting Ganoderma lucidum. Fragrant cigarettes are curling from the mouth of the burner, which is integrated with the heat from the hot pot in the air, circling and lingering in the room.

"Queen, please try this dish. This dish is called steamed shrimp. This dish can enhance your health."

Meng Siyin stood up and took a piece of steamed shrimp for the Queen Mother.

"Yeah, okay, okay!"

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile.

"Grandmother, please eat slowly. There is also a duck dish. This is a new dish that Siyin has prepared for a long time. You should also try this dish."

Zhao Xu brought another dish for the Queen Mother.

The queen mother also nodded happily, and she also picked up a chopstick dish for her precious grandson.

The two smiled at each other.

After the meal, Meng Siyin sent someone to bring over the soy milk that had been prepared earlier.

Meng Siyin held a small bowl in her hand, and there was a dark soup in the bowl. Looking at it from a distance, there was a bitter feeling.

When the queen mother saw it, she knew it was medicine for her, so she refused to drink it.

The door of the main hall was open, and the autumn wind blew in, making it a bit cold. Meng Siyin was holding a small bowl, and the medicine in it was no longer hot.

After the servant brought the soy milk, Meng Siyin took out a bowl of soy milk from the plate, which was only half full, and poured the soup medicine in the small bowl in his hand.

"Siyin, what are you doing?"

As soon as Chu Baozhu took a bowl and wanted to eat it, he saw Meng Siyin's actions not far away, and immediately the bitter smell of the medicine spread, and Chu Baozhu immediately covered his mouth and nose.

Meng Siyin looked at her with a look of disgust, then picked up the bowl of black soybean milk, picked up a spoon and tasted it, and thought it tasted good, so she brought it to the Queen Mother.

"Queen, try it, this is a new medicinal meal for you, it tastes good!"

The queen mother looked at the soy milk in front of her, a little displeased, she frowned, and reprimanded softly:

"What is this, how can I drink it!"

Meng Siyin took out a spoonful and drank it in front of the Queen Mother.

"Queen, the taste is slightly sweet, but it smells like medicinal juice."

Then Meng Sizhou beckoned to Zhao Xu, asking him to come and have a taste.

With a smile on the corner of Zhao Xu's lips, he took a sip of the bowl of medicinal food, and the taste was surprisingly mouth-watering.

"Grandmother, Siyin didn't lie to you, try it, it tastes good!"

With the addition of her precious grandson, the queen mother finally took the bowl of medicinal food with suspicion, and took a sip while pinching her nose.

It was a bit bitter in the mouth, but then a burst of sweet and mellow taste lingered in the mouth, and the queen mother drank the bowl of medicinal food one after another.

"Not bad, not bad, very delicious!"

After the queen mother took the medicine, she clamored to play mahjong. Zhao Xu said to the queen mother:

"Grandmother, grandson has something to say to Siyin..."

"Go, go, you guys haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's time to catch up!"

Ever since, the unlucky classmates Zhao Lan and Chu Baozhu became hard workers playing mahjong for the Queen Mother.

Zhao Xu and Meng Siyin came out happily and sat down in the courtyard of the Ci Ning Palace.

The two talked about the past of Concubine Gan, and Meng Siyin learned that Concubine Lin had a good relationship with Concubine Lin before, but was later used by the Queen, and a bowl of soup made Concubine Lin fall out of favor.

Although Concubine Lin Gui didn't blame her, but she felt ashamed in her heart, and she became a little crazy afterwards.

At this moment, Meng Siyin had some thoughts in her mind, if the concubine's insanity was cured by her, there would be a lot of evidence to follow...

Then the two discussed the matter of protecting the dry concubine.

Meng Siyin felt that he should send someone over there to protect him secretly, but was interrupted by Zhao Xu:
"No, late at night today, let's go to the Leng Palace to check and find out. By the way, we can protect the concubine."

Meng Siyin nodded, Xinxin agreed to his idea.

Then she gently leaned on Zhao Xu's shoulder, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and had infinite reverie in her heart.

Hearing the sound of mahjong in the house, the Queen Mother's laughter, the sound of frogs, drums and cicadas outside, and Zhao Xu's shallow breathing beside her, Meng Siyin slightly closed her eyes.

The years are quiet, let's let go of the tedious thoughts for a short time, and enjoy the good time now!
