The Empress Dowager is about fifty years old, probably not too deliberately to maintain, her hair has turned gray, the wrinkles on her face are also very obvious, wearing a civilian dress with stone blue and dark flowers, sitting there, revealing a majesty from the inside out, but it feels very kind, my previous nervousness has also been swept away, a palace maid brought tea, and the Empress Dowager smiled at me: "What dare you dare in front of my old woman, sit down!" Otherwise, how can you eat tea! I had to sit down when I heard this, picked up the tea in the palace maid's tray and drank a small half cup and put it down, I looked at the various flowers and plants in this room and said: "Youning has to seal the concubine Xian into the palace or the Empress Dowager's personal decree, Youning is here to thank the Empress Dowager Longen", said that he got up and saluted, and the Empress Dowager said: "Get up quickly!" Although this will is made by the mourning family, it is asked by the good grandson of the mourning family, so you can serve him well in the future! I got up and said, "Yes", it turned out that he begged the Empress Dowager to give a decree, but can't he also make such a decree for the concubine?

Why do you have to ask the Empress Dowager to make this will? I glanced at him, he was caressing a pot of begonias, and the Empress Dowager said, "Let's go back to the front!" It's too humid here", the emperor got up and grabbed the queen mother, I turned sideways and waited for them to move forward, and then I followed to the front hall.

Came to the front hall of the Empress Dowager and gave a seat, after we all sat down, there was a palace maid with tea and snacks to come, because it was just a meal and was not hungry, so only served tea to drink, the emperor saw that I just drank tea and smiled: "The imperial grandmother here is famous for its good dim sum, Youning you want to taste it", I heard the words and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite, the sweetness is moderate, soft and glutinous, it is really good, I got up and drank the tea after eating the pastry in my hand and said: "The Empress Dowager, Youning has a reluctant request and hope you will be fulfilled", she

"Oh" and asked, "What's the matter?" I blessed and said: "Look at the flowers and plants you raise so well, Youning wants to learn to raise flowers with the Queen Mother", I really want to learn, I used to like to raise those flowers and plants I will go to the flower market to buy some home, but I don't have to raise and there is not so much time to serve, the result can be imagined to be raised, now there is time to enter the palace, raise flowers and plants, but also cultivate temperament, the key is to be more and her old man more in-person, I entered the palace before Ama specially explained.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "What is the matter of mourning the family!" You don't dislike my old lady for being boring here", I knew that this was accurate as soon as I heard it, and I was busy saying: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager", at this time an old lady came in from outside with a tray in her hand and came to the Empress Dowager and said: "Master, this is pickled with this year's new hawthorn, you use a few!" The emperor stepped forward to take it personally, and brought a plate of candied hawthorn on the tray to the queen mother, and said with concern: "Is the imperial grandmother still sick to her stomach after eating?" Then he asked, "Mama Suma, what did the imperial doctor say?" "Is that old lady Aunt Su Mala?

is also a legendary woman in history, only to hear her reply: "Back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that it was just a little indigestion and was not hindered", and he asked again: "Didn't you prescribe medicine?" Aunt Su Mala replied, "Not really, the imperial doctor said."

"It's a medicine with three points of poison", let eat more meals that are good for digestion, no, the old slave specially pickled some hawthorn rice for the master, and steamed some hawthorn cake in the back snack room, and after a while, it was steamed for the emperor to take some back, and it was good to use some to help digestion after meals", the queen mother used two hawthorns and drank tea and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about me, it's okay, just do more activities."

I stepped forward and asked with a smile: "The Empress Dowager, You Ning once learned to make rock sugar gourds from a nurse at home when she was at home, why don't you let You Ning make some for you to taste", the emperor asked: "Is it the kind that is sold on the street in winter?" I said, "Well, almost", and the Empress Dowager said, "Youning, you still make these gadgets!" It's okay, just eat it fresh", I said: "Youning is not doing well, you don't dislike it", I then said to Aunt Su Mala: "Su Ma Mama, I don't know if there is still fresh hawthorn?" Aunt Su Mala said: "Yes, there are many!" I said, "Please take Youning to the dim sum room", saying that I blessed the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and went to the back kitchen with Aunt Su Mala.

The utensils in the dim sum room are really everything, all kinds of steamer utensils are readily available, I also saw an oven, Su Mala aunt instructed the little palace maid to bring the washed hawthorn, fortunately it has been dried, I took the hawthorn over and said to Su Malagu: "Tired Mama help me get some white sugar", I asked the palace maid to get me some bamboo sticks, and began to work to go to the core, I still did it once in the courtyard of Rongruo in Jingxi when I first came here last year, in a blink of an eye I have come to this era for a year, time flies really fast!

I don't know what happened to Rong Ruo now,

"Niangniang, this is the white sugar you want", Su Mala Aunt put the sugar on the case and said, I said: "I have to bother Mama to get me a clean pot", Su Mala Gu brought a medium-sized iron pot, there was already a palace maid lit the stove, I put the pot on the stove and added an appropriate amount of water to cover the lid, Su Mala Aunt said: "Niangniang, what else do you want the old slave to do", I smiled: "Mama, you can take a few large plates and put them separately, and I can do the rest myself,", when the water boils, I add an appropriate amount of sugarWhen the sugar is completely dissolved, I began to wear the hawthorn that had just been pitted to the bamboo skewers, which were a little short, so I only wore three hawthorns on a string, and made a total of twelve strings.

The sugar in the pot was bubbling, and Aunt Su Mala stood next to her and asked, "Concubine Xian, what kind of sugar is boiled well?" I joked, "Mama, are you trying to steal the teacher?" Mama, if you learn, when the Empress Dowager and her old people want to eat rock sugar gourds, how can you think of Youning? So! I can't tell you", Aunt Su Mala smiled: "Niangniang, you are really joking, I'm afraid that if you want to teach the old slave, the old slave can't learn it!" I smiled and said: "What can't you learn here, if you want to learn, I will teach you carefully another day", as I spoke, the sugar was boiled, I dipped the sugar gourds in the sugar, and when the sugar was cold, I put it on a plate and went to the front hall with Aunt Su Mala.
