After Qing Chuan Meng, the emperor chased after him

Chapter 185 Hot summer, just cool off
An hour later, Murong Li'er and the servants of the imperial dining room came in with dishes, there were a dozen dishes in total, and the empress dowager could not eat these dozen dishes, they could only eat what Li'er made by herself;
Murong Li'er put three dishes on the table, "Empress Dowager, I made this specially for you. Although there are more than a dozen dishes on the table, none of them are suitable for you!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the three dishes in front of her, and then at the dozen or so dishes on the table, feeling disheartened all of a sudden: "Li'er, if you don't feed me other dishes, can I be full?"

Murong Li'er was amused by the Empress Dowager's expression: "Empress Dowager, you just said that you want to take care of your body; how can you go back on the medicinal food that Li'er specially prepared for you?"

"It's not that I'm talking back, it's that I'm afraid that I won't be full, and I'm greedy." The Empress Dowager said, her displeasure was evident on her face.

"..." Murong Li'er really didn't know what to say!It can only be said that the old man is like a child. Kangxi saw that Murong Li'er might not be able to handle the Empress Dowager, and smiled: "Grandma, be obedient! Li'er is also doing it for your own good!"

"Okay! The emperor has said so, so I will accept it; tell me! What are you eating?" the empress dowager asked.

Murong Li'er turned up the lid one by one, and the aroma was so charming that it seduced everyone present: "This is Qiguo Beef Bone Soup, the second is Almond Apple Tofu Soup; the third is Pig's Blood Porridge."

"Ah... Li'er, don't you let me eat these every day?" The Empress Dowager smiled wryly.

Murong Li'er shook her head: "Of course not, Li'er guarantees that every meal is different for you, but you have to eat as I tell you."

"Okay." Although it's medicinal food, it doesn't smell like medicine at all, and it's even more fragrant than ordinary dishes: "Give me some to taste."

"Yes." Murong Li'er helped the Empress Dowager take a little of each of the three dishes.

The Empress Dowager looked at everyone: "You are welcome, just eat."

"Yes, Empress Dowager Xie..."

The food in each palace is different, and the concubines also serve dishes according to their ranks. Only when she came to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Tong realized what a proper meal is. She was overjoyed when she looked at the dishes in front of her.

Kangxi said, "Concubine Tong, don't eat too much, just have a bite of everything!" He knew that Concubine Tong also liked to eat, but he couldn't be rude in front of the Empress Dowager.

"...Yes, I would like to follow the emperor's instruction." Concubine Tong could only hold back, trying to taste everything.

The Empress Dowager looked at Murong Li'er: "You sit down too, beside Ben Gong."

"Yes." Murong He sat down and had dinner with everyone.

Time passed by bit by bit, and a month had passed since serving the Empress Dowager. Summer was just around the corner, and the weather started to get hot. All the palaces were prepared with ice cubes and rock sugar water to relieve the heat.

And Murong Li'er lived in the Qing dynasty for the fourth year without air-conditioning, and the heat without air-conditioning was more uncomfortable than the cold; she was wiping the sweat from her forehead with her cuff: "It's so hot." She cried .

The old lady smiled: "It is a good thing to know that it is hot. It has been three years and you have never known that it is hot. This proves that serving the Empress Dowager for a month can be regarded as training your body to be healthy."

"Grandma, don't make fun of Li'er, Li'er is very hot, I really want to jump into the water and take a bath right now."

"Oh, just you, we wash once a week, and once every three days in summer, you have to wash every day, the water is not enough for you..."

"...No way, it's too hot, I can't bear it." She pouted: "Mumu also needs to wash every day."

The old grandma smiled helplessly, she couldn't stand Li'er's clean behavior: "Okay, don't wash off all the oil on the skin, just proper."
