Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 238

"Okay, I'll leave it to you guys to practice martial arts for the prince." She believes in the second daughter's ability very much. Now that she has said so, the prince will continue to take the medicinal bath. Anyway, she herself feels that it is a little bit for a three-year-old to practice martial arts. Unreliable, the bones of a three-year-old are still soft!If you accidentally over-practice, it will be miserable for the prince not to grow taller!She doesn't want to be complained by the prince in the future, her parents are not short, there is no reason why he can't grow taller!

Yes, Shu Ning, who was full early, already has a height of about 1.6 meters 1.8, which is already considered tall among the women in the harem.Although standing with the emperor does not make you look tall, after all, according to Shuning's visual inspection, the emperor is about [-] meters above, which matches her height very well!

So if there is no accident, the prince should be about the same height as the emperor. After all, the prince is a boy, and more should be inherited from his father.

As for appearance, the prince is very good at growing up, and he only chooses the best parents. At only three years old, he can already see that his appearance is definitely not inferior to the legendary beauties.

"He looks so good-looking, how many girls will shed tears for my son in the future?"

Shuning secretly thought that she didn't have to worry about her daughter-in-law anymore.No, she should be more worried. Which woman wants to marry a man who is more beautiful than herself?Isn't this intentionally causing people to feel inferior?
Shu Ning began to worry again, she was worried if her son was not good-looking, and even more worried if his son was too good-looking.This mother is really a hard worker, and she can't rest by nature.

"What has Yu'er been up to lately? I always see him walking around in the yard, and I don't even ask him."

After paying her respects, the queen left Shuning behind, and the two chatted while making tea, as well as the red date cake made by the queen herself.

"Yu'er plans to learn martial arts. I told him that to learn martial arts, he must have a strong body, so now whenever he has free time, he walks around in the courtyard as exercise."

Shu Ning pitted her son against a master, although what she said was correct, but she forgot to tell the prince that he can't practice martial arts now, not because he is not strong enough, but because he is still taking medicine bath, plus his He is not old enough, so he was not taught to formally practice martial arts.

As for Shu Ning's method, although it was a bit of a scam, it was not wrong, so the emperor, Mei Qiu and Mei Dong just turned a blind eye and closed one eye. Anyway, exercising and so on is for the prince's good.

"You~"

At any rate, we have been together for a few years, how can we not see what the imperial concubine is thinking, and nodded her a few times with a smile.

"hey-hey."

She laughed dryly twice, and Shuning's laughter revealed a sense of guilt.Fortunately, the queen didn't expose her intentions, so His Royal Highness had to continue to circle around, and at the same time attracted many people to watch.

What is His Royal Highness doing?The onlookers thought about it in their minds.In fact, he didn't do anything, just exercise in circles.

Because of the offering of captives, the emperor did not take everyone out of Beijing to escape the summer heat this year, so the amount of ice used in the palace increased. Although the palace has ice every year, it still seemed a little nervous under the hot sun .

In the end, Shu Ning simply told the queen a way to make ice, although this kind of recipe is a bit laborious, but it saves money!Use nitrate to make ice. Although the ice is not edible, it is enough to cool off the heat.

"Thanks to the imperial concubine, otherwise my daughter-in-law really doesn't know where to get so much ice this year!"

Now the price of ice outside has risen to an unbelievable level.

"Hahaha, the imperial concubine has a lot of small ideas. The queen has more routines when she has time. Let's see what she has left to say."

The queen mother laughed, the imperial concubine will bring them surprises every year, although there is no shortage of ice in her old man's house, but she always has to worry about other people in the harem, the emperor is busy in the previous court, what the queen mother can do is to try not to give the emperor Find trouble and let him concentrate on handling state affairs.As for the idea that the imperial concubine gave to the queen, the queen mother was very pleased, but also a little depressed.

The imperial concubine never took the initiative to do anything. Every time the things she gave were bumped into, they were taken out. Sometimes the queen mother wanted to cut open the imperial concubine's head to see what was in her head.
"This daughter-in-law understands, so now the noble concubine is helping her daughter-in-law with the palace affairs!"

In previous years, the use of ice in the palace was much less, not as urgent as this year, so the imperial concubine didn't say it out, presumably because she didn't want to give people the impression that she was meddling in palace affairs!
"That's right, she..."

"Grandma Huang, your grandson is here."

The prince arrived before the voice came, interrupting the conversation between the empress dowager and the empress.

"Oh, where is my little grandson, why did you come to Grandma Huang today?"

The Empress Dowager hurriedly ordered two more basins of ice to come in. The sun was so strong outside, and because she was old, she only used one basin of ice and put it in a corner, but the prince just came in from the outside, it must be the time when the heat was unbearable.However, the ice was not placed in front of the prince when it came in, but was also placed in the corners, so that there were ice in the four corners of the hall, and the hall gradually became cooler without making people feel cold.

When it's hot and cold, it's easy to get sick.Although the queen mother doesn't understand the principle, she has experience!Knowing that when it is too hot, you can't take a cold bath, let alone touch iced food.So after the sweat on the prince's forehead disappeared, the queen mother ordered a small bowl of ice to be served.There is very little ice inside and more fruit and milk on top.

Relying on Shuning's ideas, Mei Dong and Mei Qiu acted as executors, and finally got them to make milk without fishy smell. With ice, a bowl of summer heat was prepared.The Empress Dowager also likes to eat this ice bowl, but she is getting old, so she can only taste two mouthfuls a day. If there is too much, Madam Hua will not give it to the Empress Dowager. For this reason, the Empress Dowager always looks forward to coming the next day as soon as possible.
