Li Lianying saw Cixi wake up, lifted her front, knelt down on the ground and said: "Lafayette, you can wake up! The soul of the slave is scattered, if you have a mistake, the old slave will not live!"

Seeing Li Lianying like this, Cixi was a little confused: "Little Lizi, the mourning family is not dead, what kind of mourning are you crying?"

When Li Lianying heard this, she couldn't stop crying: "Lafayette, you, you almost died by this aging!"

Chen Huahe was tied with a rope and said with a smile: "Queen Mother Mingjian, your mother is insightful in the world, who can have such a great ability to dare to harm you in front of you? Besides, please let the Queen Mother clench her fists with both hands to raise her spirit, and then get up and walk away, may I ask, how do you feel now compared to your previous weakness?"

Cixi got up slowly, and the palace maids on both sides hurriedly came up to help, but Cixi pushed them away. After taking a few steps forward, he turned around in the pavilion and said: "Hey, it's strange, so many days, the mourning family's body has been weak and weak, and he can't lift a little spirit. ”

Chen Huaji said: "Queen Mother, are you going to tie the three of us here all the time?"

Only then did Cixi react and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and loosen the tie! Who ordered this, An dared to treat the distinguished guests of the mourning family like this!"

Li Lianying knelt on the ground and never got up, and when she heard the Queen Mother's words, she kowtowed like garlic and didn't dare to get up: "Lafayette atons for your sins!" The slave saw that you had just fainted, thinking that the three of them had secretly poisoned him, so he ...... The old slave knows that he is wrong!"

The guards stepped forward to untie the three of them. Qin Xiaolou rubbed his sour arms and said, "Lafayette, it's a shame that you woke up early and understood the righteousness, otherwise the three of us would have died a long time ago." It doesn't matter if we are dying, whining, whining, who in the harem has a little problem, is it better to send this indiscriminately shouting kidnapping and shouting to kill Gonggong Li to invite my second brother below?"

Qin Xiaolou has always been sharp-tongued, these words made Chen Huaji smile secretly in his heart, but he said: "Xiaolou is rude, and Gonggong Li is also worried about the safety of the Queen Mother, and he is loyal and filial." In the future, the Queen Mother will let us enter the palace again, and we will come and go often, and it is indispensable for Gong Li to take care of her. ”

Cixi smiled: "This little plum, I have been with the mourning family for decades, and I have always been loyal. What the little doctor said was that it was all for loyalty and filial piety. The four words 'often come and go' are well said, Xiao Lizi, do you hear it, in the future, the mourning family will often invite the little doctor into the palace, you can't snub them like today. ”

Li Lianying bowed and said yes.

Cixi chatted with Chen Huahe about Huang Lao's skills, and at the same time led everyone to the East Warm Pavilion for dinner.

Walking into the East Warm Pavilion, the scene of the royal meal really surprised Chen Hua and secretly surprised. I saw that on the huge dining table, all kinds of dishes were fully arranged.

Cixi sat in the first place facing north and south, and Chen Huahe sat on the small dining table below with Mu Zuo and Qin Xiaolou. After the eunuch inspected the food and tasted the food, Cixi said slowly: "Not to mention, after such a conditioning by the little divine doctor, the appetite of the mourning family seems to have also opened, looking at this table of food, I don't feel anything on weekdays, but I feel hungry today." Little plums, what dishes do you have, report it. ”

Li Lianying's throat was raised, and she said loudly: "August 15, the menu includes 120 dishes of all kinds -- bird's nest chicken shreds inlaid with peace fruit! Continuation of eight immortals and one product! Bird's nest duck smoked slices of cabbage and chicken wings and mushrooms, these two products are combined! Fat chicken and cabbage are a product! Stewed hanging seeds! Su Guan! Pheasant shredded sauerkraut is a product! Deer breast silk is a product! Roasted roe deer meat pot collapsed chicken shredded and dried mutton is a product! Folded milk skin is a product! Southern side dish is a product! Osmanthus radish is a product! Ghee bean noodles are a product! Mutton is lying down to the end of the powder soup ......"

In this way, it took a lot of tea to report the list of 120 dinners. Looking at the tableware, there are all kinds of gold, silver, enamel, porcelain and other dishes, plates and spoons, which are extremely luxurious.

One of the rules of this palace meal is that although there are many dishes, Cixi only eats three bites of a dish at most, and one more bite is considered a violation of the rules. It's not because Cixi's taste often changes and she is in a hurry to eat other dishes, but in this deep palace inner garden, if you want to live longer, you can't let others know what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat, otherwise there will really be evil people, and you can deliberately poison the dishes you love.

At the beginning of dinner, Cixi wanted to eat which dish, just by looking at it with her eyes, Li Lianying immediately understood it and placed this dish beside Cixi. Under normal circumstances, Cixi would never move again after taking one bite, and once she ate two more bites, Li Lianying immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" The palace maid immediately removed the dishes and placed them in front of Chen Hua and the three of them, and the three of them enjoyed them.
