The time has passed and it has entered June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day.
Ordinary people are forced to make a living, no matter how hot the weather is, no matter how hot the sun is, they have to work hard every day under the scorching sun, just to feed themselves and their families.
But for many dignitaries, not only do they not have to work under the scorching sun, but they can also take out ice cubes stored in the winter from the ice cellar at home, so that their mansion can enjoy bursts of coolness even in the scorching heat, without having to suffer from the heat of summer. The heat is tormenting.
This is even more so in the palace, especially the Longevity Palace where the Empress Dowager lives. The old man is getting old and can't stand the heat the most. In previous years, when it was midsummer, he even lost his appetite a lot and couldn't eat a few mouthfuls.The emperor is notoriously dutiful, and he specially decreed that the entire Longevity Palace should not be interrupted by ice blocks at twelve o'clock a day, so even in midsummer, the entire Longevity Palace would be cool with gusts of wind, without much heat in midsummer.
Empress Sun also came to the Longevity Palace from time to time to greet the Queen Mother, talk to the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, and eat with her.Although Queen Sun joked that the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace was cooler than her own Jiaofang Palace, the Queen Mother knew well that Queen Sun was worried that she would not be able to eat anything because of the heat, so she came here to accompany her.
Today, Empress Sun was drinking porridge with the Empress Dowager in the Longevity Palace as usual.
The porridge is lily and lotus seed porridge carefully cooked by the imperial chef in the imperial dining room. It tastes light and slightly sweet, and the taste is very good.
But the Queen Mother just drank a couple of sips, and felt that she lost her appetite. She couldn't help but sighed, shook her head and said: "Aijia is still old, and I can't even take a few sips of this lily and lotus seed porridge... Sigh..."
Empress Sun put down the bowl in her hand, and said softly, "What did the empress mother say? Maybe the porridge is a bit hot, let it cool down and drink it."
The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to spoil Empress Sun's interest, so she didn't continue to talk about this topic, but started talking with Empress Sun about the daily routine, but the bowl of lily and lotus seed porridge in front of her did not touch the spoon again after all.
Empress Sun saw it, and although her face remained calm, she sighed silently in her heart.
At this moment, a female official from the Longevity Palace rushed in to announce: "The Empress Dowager, Princess Qi, Su's Palace, please see me outside."
The Empress Dowager felt a little strange, she couldn't help smiling and said to Empress Sun: "The Su family should also go to your Jiaofang Palace to greet you, but why did you come to Aijia's Longevity Palace?"
Empress Sun was also a little puzzled, but she still smiled and said: "The concubine doesn't know, but Mrs. Xuansu will know when she comes in and asks."
The queen mother nodded with a smile, and then said to the female officer who notified: "Xuan Su, come in."
Not long after, the female officer led Qi Wangfei Su Yao into the palace, and her personal maid Dong'er followed behind with a food box.
As soon as they entered the hall, Su Yao led Dong'er to bow down to the Queen Mother and Queen Sun: "Mr. Su has met the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother."
The queen mother showed a kind smile on her face, and said cheerfully: "Get up, there are only a few women here, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Su Yao and Dong'er thanked En for getting up.
The queen mother's eyes are so sharp, she saw Dong'er standing behind holding a food box in her hand, she couldn't help but smiled, and said to Empress Sun beside her: "I said, why is this Su family coming to the Longevity Palace to see Ai's family for no reason? This old woman was afraid that Ai's family would not be able to eat well, so she brought food to Ai's family."
Empress Sun also smiled, a gleam of relief flashed in her eyes, and said: "This is also the filial piety of the children and grandchildren. Don't you want to disappoint their hearts?"
After saying that, Empress Sun waved to Dong'er, and said with a smile: "Bring it to me, and I will see what delicious food your Princess Su brought to the Queen Mother."
Dong'er took a look at Su Yao and saw Su Yao nodding at her. Then she came forward with the food box, stood in front of Empress Sun, opened the lid of the food box, and said timidly, "Please look at the empress."
As soon as the lid of the food box was opened, Empress Sun immediately felt a sense of coolness rushing towards her face. Looking inside, there was a porcelain jar inside, and the porcelain jar was surrounded by small ice cubes. No wonder the cool breeze hit her face.
At this time, Su Yao also explained with a smile: "Mother, Your Highness knows that the Queen Mother will lose her appetite in midsummer, so she specially made iced sour plum soup and ordered me to bring it to the palace for the Queen Mother."
"Iced sour plum soup, isn't it said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, how can King Qi know how to cook?" He said so, but the Queen Mother's face was almost smiling like a flower, and there was no sense of blame.
Empress Sun smiled and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. This child, Yu'er, really knows a lot. He knows that I like to eat lychees, and he even made a canned lychee. Now that the Queen Mother has a loss of appetite, he tossed about this iced lychee. Sour plum soup."
While speaking, Empress Sun's brows and eyes were full of smiles.
Su Yao pursed her lips and said nothing, but ordered the maid to bring a new set of bowls and spoons, took a bowl and brought it to the Queen Mother herself, and said softly, "Please try it, Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager smiled cheerfully, took the soup bowl, but felt it was cold in hand, scooped up a spoonful of it and tasted it, only felt sweet and sour, icy and cool, the taste was very good, the whole body was smoother and refreshed after drinking it into the stomach Refreshing.
The queen mother drank a bowl full of iced sour plum soup in one breath, and couldn't help praising: "Not bad."
Su Yao brought a new pair of bowls and spoons, took a bowl and gave it to the queen, and said softly: "Your mother, let's try it too."
Empress Sun took the soup bowl with a smile, and was full of praise after drinking it.
Seeing that the Queen Mother and Queen Sun liked it so much, Su Yao took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and presented it to the Queen Mother with both hands: "If the Queen Mother likes it, this is a recipe for iced sour plum soup. The Queen Mother will give it to the imperial dining room. If you want to drink it later, you can drink it You can drink it anytime."
The queen mother took Fang Zi, glanced at Su Yao, but said to Queen Sun with a smile: "Queen, you have a good son and daughter-in-law."
Empress Sun looked at Su Yao, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became. She said with a smile, "it's all because of Yu'er's good eyesight, she chose a good princess for herself."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the queen mother was even more happy from ear to ear. Looking at Su Yao, she couldn't help but joked: "I remember what the queen said. Back then, at my birthday banquet, King Qi begged I, if I insist on giving him a marriage with you, it can be seen that he has a deep affection for you."
As soon as these words came out, Su Yao's face turned bright red, and she dared not answer with her head down.
Empress Sun also smiled at the side and said: "At the beginning, Wang Guifei actually hoped that Xun'er would marry his cousin Wang Yu, but Xun'er would not marry a lady from the Su family. Now it seems that their young people's own vision is more important. good."
The queen mother looked at Su Yao, then at Queen Sun, and suddenly said with a smile: "you two, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are singing together for Wu Ji's marriage."
Ordinary people are forced to make a living, no matter how hot the weather is, no matter how hot the sun is, they have to work hard every day under the scorching sun, just to feed themselves and their families.
But for many dignitaries, not only do they not have to work under the scorching sun, but they can also take out ice cubes stored in the winter from the ice cellar at home, so that their mansion can enjoy bursts of coolness even in the scorching heat, without having to suffer from the heat of summer.
