I ate half a bowl of spicy hot, spicy tears and snot, it was really not very elegant, Xiaolan hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, I took it and wiped it and said: "It's so enjoyable, Xiaolan, how did you do it in such a little time?" Xiaolan said proudly: "The slave saw that the kitchen was full of all kinds of ingredients, so she fried some according to our hot pot ingredients, thinking that Miss hadn't eaten for a long time, so she made some, Miss likes to eat", and was talking when she heard outside: "What to eat?" It's so fragrant", the emperor came in as he spoke, I hurriedly put down the chopsticks and stayed in the blessed body and said: "Your Majesty, Wanfu Jin'an", Yuying and Xiaolan were also busy saluting, and the emperor said: "Don't be polite, get up quickly!" As he spoke, he sat down on the couch and looked at Malatang on the table and asked, "Qing'er, what are you eating here?" I got up and sat back and said, "A snack called Malatang, does the emperor want to try it?" I asked Xiaolan, "Is there still a kitchen?" Xiaolan replied: "Hui Niangniang, and", I said: "You go and give some to the emperor to taste", Xiaolan heard the blessing and retreated, and Yuying also withdrew to make tea.

For a while, there were only two of us left in the room, so I took a sip of tea and asked, "Your Majesty, have you finished your business?" Why did this time come? He looked at me and laughed, "What? I can't come and see you come after I can't finish it", I suddenly blushed when I heard him say this, I didn't know what to say, it was not good to say "can", "can't" was not good, I hurriedly lowered my head and then ate my spicy hot, I was choked and coughed violently, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in my nose and throat, tears came out, he hurriedly handed over the tea and said: "Drink a sip of tea and press it", I took the tea and drank a few sips to feel a little better, he reached out to help me wipe my tears, I hurriedly said: "I can do it myself." Saying that, he wiped his sleeve twice, he withdrew his hand and smiled helplessly: "Eat slower in the future, and no one will rob you", I secretly rolled my eyes and said: "Am I so unproductive?" Are you still afraid that people will rob me? But he said: "I just accidentally choked, I'll pay attention to it in the future."

Yuying brought the tea and changed it for me, Xiaolan also brought the spicy hot, and when they put the things away, the emperor said, "You all go out and wait!" Hearing this, Yuying and Xiaolan hurriedly retreated, he picked up his chopsticks and looked at this bowl of spicy tang with everything, and said, "This is called spicy hot?" Where's the snack? I've never heard of it", I said, "You eat first!" Look at whether it tastes good or not", I saw that he finally got off the chopsticks before I said: "I can't tell where the snack is, probably from the Sichuan area!" In fact, it is similar to the hot pot method, and anything can be stewed in a pot, but his base is different, and he puts more peppercorns and peppers, chili peppers, because it tastes numb, spicy and very hot, so it is named "Malatang".

It can be seen that he can also eat spicy, because I like to eat spicy so I put a lot of chili peppers every time I do it, Xiaolan knows that my habit is also very spicy, but he actually eats it without changing his face, and praises it is delicious, I still have a little left of mine I can't eat it, I put down the chopsticks and called Xiaolan and Yuying to come in and put the bowl down, Yuying served the emperor and I washed up again, Xiaolan served tea again, he took a sip of tea and got up and said: "I'm going back, there are a lot of things that haven't been dealt with!" I got up and said, "Well, the emperor should go and get busy!" He touched my head and whispered: "I'll come back at night", said and turned to leave, I said behind him: "Congratulations to the emperor, the emperor walks slowly", after he left, I felt that my face was so hot, I covered my hot face and said outside: "Xiaolan, Yuying, you are busy!" I want to sleep for a while".

Saying that, I walked to the inner room and lay down in my clothes, but I couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, I was irritable, I didn't know what was irritable, and I didn't know how long it took to hear Xiaolan call me: "Miss, Miss", I woke up, Xiaolan said: "Miss, why do you sleep like this, although the weather is not cold, you can't cover nothing!" I smiled and said, "Where is it so delicate, it's okay", I said, "When is it now?" Xiaolan said: "The slave is about to say it!" The emperor just sent someone to send something called a self-striking bell, saying that it can read the time, so get up and go and see."

I then got up and Xiaolan came to the living room outside, and the little eunuchs who came to deliver things were waiting in the living room, and when they saw me coming, they hurriedly saluted and said: "The slave asks for the mother", and I said: "No courtesy, get up!" I look at the clock on the table, very ancient style mahogany structure, I was a child at home had a similar one, I don't know where to throw it after it broke, and then there was a clock with batteries and electronic belts, slowly this clockwork was eliminated, I haven't seen it for many years, this self-striking clock has been wound up, the hands keep moving, everyone is very curious about this thing, to be honest, I don't know when Western clocks were introduced to our China, I came to the Qing Dynasty for almost a year, but I haven't seen it, the pocket watch he was carrying was also given by the current emperor some time ago.

I asked, "Is this time set?" The eunuch behind him replied: "Hui Niangniang, it is to adjust the time, and the clockwork is also good, the emperor said that Niangniang likes to watch the time, and this self-striking bell has just been done and sent to you by the servants", I asked: "Is this bell made in the palace?" He replied: "Hui Niangniang, it was made in the palace, the emperor set up a clock office specializing in clocks and watches two months ago, and this self-striking clock was made by making clocks", he said: "This clock slave will be maintained by a special person, please use it with peace of mind", I said in my heart that this person is quite good at talking and asked: "What is your name?" He replied: "The slave is called Liu Hai, you can call the slave Xiao Haizi", I said: "This palace knows, Liu Hai, you take them down to receive the reward and pay the errand!" Bangs said a thousand times: "Thank you for your reward, the slave will retire", and the group retreated in turn.

Seeing that it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaolan said: "Miss, this is called a self-striking bell?" Is it possible to see the time? I said, "Yes! Yu Ying, you all come here, I'll teach how to see", this self-striking bell replaced the number 24 hours with the traditional twelve hours, each hour will tell the time, and it is also very easy to recognize a teaching, and when they have learned Yu Ying put the self-striking bell on the most conspicuous shelf and said with a smile: "The emperor really values Niangniang, presumably there is no other palace!" I smiled and said, "Are the osmanthus flowers in our yard blooming well?" Yu Ying said: "It's just right!" I said, "You go and prepare, let's pick some."
