This kid has a big face and big eyes, like his mother.

Only the angle of the forehead and the bridge of the nose is exactly the same as that of his own father.

How long will it be, no matter who sees this child, he will only think that this child looks like his mother, and he will not suspect Chai Rong's head for a while, everyone is always familiar with the emperor's face, except for the palace maids and eunuchs and concubines, no one is familiar with the emperor's side face.

Such a Xu genealogy makes people feel at ease.

When Duan Meimei walked into the palace with Xu Zongpu in her arms, the child's eyes were purring.

She looked at Sister Qiao, for fear that she would say something stupid like "this was originally your house".

Fortunately, Sister Qiao didn't talk much, her mind is now on the child, it's good to be safe and healthy, and if you don't do anything else, let's put it down first.

"Oh, the genealogy has grown so big, come, let grandma see it!"

When Empress Dowager Du saw Xu Zongpu, she reached out and hugged her and teased her in her arms.

The old lady is still too lonely, Duan Meimei thought, Xianggong's idea is right, having a little grandson by her side can make the old lady concentrate.

"It's big-eyed and decent in this regard." The old lady looked at Xu Zongpu and said to Duan Meimei with a smile.

"Unlike his father, Jin'er's pointed face is good-looking, but she has a generous face and is kind." The old lady said.

Duan Meimei hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Xiao Phantom took over the genealogy, and Sister Qiao pressed the Queen Mother's shoulder."

This is the rule of the Empress Dowager Du, since Duan Meimei came to Zhao's house to live with her for a few days, she ordered Duan Meimei not to call the Queen Mother, but to call her mother.

Chen Xiaohuan hurriedly hugged the child.

"This girl is stupid enough," the Queen Mother glanced at her, "I haven't given birth to a child at first glance." ”

"Xiao Fan is a disciple of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and after the genealogy was robbed, I entrusted her to protect the child." Duan Meimei explained with a smile.

"The skinny one is very good at fighting, isn't this your rival in love?" Empress Dowager Du still knows a little bit about everything, and it is estimated that Zhao Er leaked the wind.

"Ah, old lady, if you do this again, I won't dare to come." Duan Meimei said angrily.

"You better come more, my body, I don't know when it won't work." Empress Dowager Du sighed.

"What is wrong with it?"

"Sweating, dry mouth, dizziness from time to time, sometimes I feel that my eyes are dark, and it takes half a day to recover." Empress Dowager Du said.

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Duan Meimei asked.

"It is said to quench thirst, but people like the Taiyi don't dare to prescribe medicine if they don't want to kill me." Empress Dowager Du looked disgusted.

"If the old lady can be trusted, let our old Mr. Xiong Shihai of Shanzitang come to ask for a pulse, and he is not an outsider, but the grandfather of the genealogy, Sister Qiao's grandfather, who has also made offerings in Jiangnan before, and his medical skills are the best in Shanzitang." Duan Meimei said.

Empress Dowager Du looked at Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao nodded again and again, the old bear sold melons and boasted about herself.

"Okay, let's send him tomorrow." Empress Dowager Du agreed.

"Old lady, the disease of quenching thirst mainly depends on diet to recuperate, and some food may have to be adjusted, some things need to be eaten more, and some, I'm afraid I can't eat it."

"And this rule? Why didn't the doctor tell me? ”

"The treatment of thirst has always been difficult, and the imperial doctor may not be clear, and he may not dare to care about you, telling you that he does not dare to eat meat, so you still have to blame them?" Duan Meimei said with a grin.

"That's true, but the old lady listens to you." Empress Dowager Du took Duan Meimei's hand, in a good mood.

"You have to take good care of your body, although the official family is already a generation of heroes, but there are many major things, and you still have to give advice and ideas, right?"

There is a way to wear thousands of clothes, and sycophants are not worn, Xu Yongzhi and Duan Meimei were in the bedroom last night, and they rehearsed all the changes in this conversation.

"Ahem, how dare I take care of big things," Empress Dowager Du shook her hand, "But recently, Dezhao has always come to accompany me." ”

"Ah, His Highness Dezhao? What a good boy of pure filial piety. Duan Meimei hurriedly took the opportunity to praise the prince out of the sky.

"Hey, hey, I didn't expect to enjoy the blessings of my grandson. Every day when he went to the study and got out of class, he would come to me to write, read, and do his homework. The old lady's eyes lit up when she talked about her grandson.

"It is said that there is no warmth in the heavenly family, how can there be anything, this is not the same as the old people's family, the children go to school and their grandmothers watch and do their homework, and they are happy." Duan Meimei exclaimed.

"Hey! You are right, I don't think our family is a heavenly family, who is the emperor, not a person who is a powerful person, he is the chief people, and he should be the first-class person in order to lead the world, the warmth and affection of the family, this is the first. Empress Dowager Du really followed the words.

"That's right, it's the same in all families, grandma and grandson are the closest. Those grandmothers who enjoy the blessings of their grandchildren are the real happy old age. Duan Meimei hurriedly smashed the porcelain a little more.

"Grandma, I'm back." Outside the door, Dezhao kowtowed to his grandmother.

This is the rule of the Son of Heaven's family, the first day to see the Queen Mother, you have to kowtow first.

"Quick, pass the food." Empress Dowager Du commanded.

She grabbed Duan Meimei, "Eat together, you give it to me, what you can eat and what you can't eat, you have to tell me." ”

Sister Qiao and Xiao Huan brought Xu Genealogy and went to the next table to eat, and there were dishes for them, Duan Meimei and the Queen Mother and Dezhao had dinner together.

When the food was put on the table, Empress Dowager Du asked the eunuch in charge of the meal to come over and stand still, and Duan Meimei wrote down any suggestions on diet.

Empress Dowager Du is the best person in the palace, usually a meal is six dishes, and after Dezhao came to eat, it was added to eight.

When Zhao Kuangyin eats, it is usually two dishes, and when he treats guests, he mainly uses skewers - he is the most picky emperor in the past two hundred years, but he has not saved the old lady's living expenses.

But the Queen Mother also understands that there are many places to use money, so although she has high requirements for life, she is not extravagant, and she is more frugal than the life her son lived before he became the emperor.

The dishes were put on the table, Dezhao respectfully stood on the side, and his grandmother asked him to sit down, and he sat down.

This is a good boy, he will definitely be a humble gentleman in the future, but he is too well-behaved, he doesn't have that kind of domineering, it's not surprising, how long has his father been emperor, didn't he live tremblingly before.

Unlike the Tang people, people in the early Song Dynasty had long been accustomed to tables and chairs, and everyone no longer knelt on the floor to eat small tables, but the family had a large table and ate around the table.

On this kind of table, every detail of speaking, picking up food, and eating is magnified, and you need to be especially cautious.

"My mouth is not very good, so I like to eat this stewed mess, can you taste this elbow?" The old lady looked at Duan Meimei.

"Ah, the elbow with maltose," Duan Meimei tasted it, "You can't add sugar in the future, the queen mother's body, the dishes should be sugar-free." ”

"Madame Mingjian, but without sugar, the color of this elbow will not look good." The eunuch said.

"Yes," the old lady gave her elbow to Dezhao, and her grandson was growing his body, "I still like red meat, I think it is festive, and if I use sauce to burn it, it will look black." ”

"It's simple," Duan Meimei said to the eunuch in charge, "Switch to red yeast rice for coloring, it's so beautiful, sugar color is not the only choice." ”

"Yes!" The eunuch in charge knew that Duan Meimei was an expert in food, so he nodded obediently.

Duan Meimei picked up a bowl of porridge.

"No honey is allowed in the porridge in the future, if the queen mother wants to eat something sweet, use gourd instead."

"Don't make porridge with refined white rice, people who quench thirst are prone to fainting, use beans, wheat and grains to make porridge together."

"You can eat one fruit, but don't eat other desserts."

"Ma'am, it's too hard." The eunuch in charge of the meal looked embarrassed.

"Take me to the kitchenette." Duan Meimei stood up.

The eunuch also called the imperial chef and followed Duan Meimei to learn the craft in the queen mother's kitchen.

"My grandson wants to go too." Dezhao said to the Queen Mother.

"What are you going to do?" The Queen Mother said curiously.

"I learned how to cook with Aunt Xu, and I can cook for my grandmother in the future." Dezhao said.

At this moment, the old lady suddenly burst into tears.

Dezhao is not easy, his mother died early, although the current queen is very virtuous and good to Dezhao, but in the final analysis, this is also a child who has lost his mother, in the stepmother, he will try his best to please the other party's like, this kind of child's sensibility is actually the most distressing.

The old lady moved her mind, Dezhao is not even the identity of the prince now, he is not even a king.

"Why hadn't I thought about this child's future before? If his second uncle is on stage, can he tolerate him? The old lady reproached herself secretly.

"Grandma will go with you, too." The old queen mother also put down the bowl and pulled Dezhao to follow.

From ancient times to the present, the queen mother, the queen, the emperor and the favorite concubine, all have small kitchens, what you want to eat, you can make a bite at any time, the last emperor Pu Yi recalled the food when he was a child, and said that he never ate the kind of big dishes put on the table in the imperial dining room, because they look good, and they are not delicious when they are sent, and some distant dishes have been heated several times, and they can't be imported at all (this is the method of corruption in the imperial dining room), and the little emperor is really raised by the old ladies in their own small kitchens.

"That's what soba noodles do."

"Although sorghum rice is coarse, it is particularly good for the old lady's body."

"If you want to use sweet, you can only use old gourd, the sugar of gourd does not hurt people, and cane syrup, maltose and honey are not good."

"Don't fry eggs in meat oil, you can boil them in water or in the shell."

"This watermelon pulp can be eaten by His Royal Highness, and the skin can be adjusted with vinegar, salt and sesame oil, which is very beneficial to the Queen Mother's thirst."

"The staple food should be less, whether the noodles are made into cakes or noodles, it is better to be dark, and add a little more bran when grinding the flour, which is coarse grain."

Duan Meimei's words, in today's view, are nothing more than ordinary maintenance methods, but in the court of the early Song Dynasty, it is already a great progress.

This recipe was set by Xiong Shihai, Xu Yongzhi and Duan Meimei together, the first two are responsible for health, and Duan Meimei is responsible for deliciousness.

These three people are all masters in their respective fields, and such a combination has taken the imperial chefs by surprise.

Duan Meimei brought up the four side dishes in the blink of an eye, and when the old queen mother and Dezhao tasted it, they both felt that it was a rare delicacy.

"Auntie, is it okay for you to stay with grandma, I like to eat the dishes you make." Dezhao, this kid really understands, although he is ten years old, there are some things, he can see.

"Ah, my aunt also thinks about it, but I don't know if it suits grandma's taste......" Duan Meimei looked at Empress Dowager Du.

Empress Dowager Du ate this small dish, and felt that the refreshing home-cooked food was really good, and it was not as fatty as the dishes made by the imperial kitchen, and she was willing to keep the child.

But Duan Meimei has only been married for the first year, you can't let the two of you have one palace and one outside the palace.

Besides, the husband and wife also have the requirement to have children, although there is such a child as a genealogy, but after all, it was not born by Duan Meimei, and if the eldest son is not born, who can rest assured of a woman.

So Empress Dowager Du herself is not easy to open her mouth, she is such a decent person, she can't wait to bother others about anything.

At this time, she heard Duan Meimei let go of herself, and hurriedly climbed down the pole.

"Of course I'm willing, you can come and eat with me, you help me take care of my mouth, I can accept it. Don't worry about home, you can go back often after dinner, and I'll give you another day off every ten days......"

"Thank you for your understanding."

"I want to thank you, Meimei. Today's meal, I seem to have understood a lot of things. Empress Dowager Du nodded, all thinking.
