When the lanterns first came on, Liu De rode a carriage to the Yongshou Palace of Empress Dowager Dou.
The cheap daddy is not in Chang'an, and the biggest person in Chang'an is Empress Dowager Dou.
For tomorrow's examination, you must come and report to Queen Mother Dou, and listen to Queen Mother Dou's opinions at the same time.
Otherwise, if Liu De accidentally brushes off a certain scholar that the old man likes, what will happen?
For this reason, Liu De specially invited Guantao's mother and son to accompany him to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Dou.
"Cousin Liu De, Yongshou Palace is much cooler than Gillian's house..." As soon as she entered Yongshou Palace, Chen Gillian started to complain about her family.
Liu De listened and said with a smile: "Next year, my cousin promises not to let Gillian be so hot anymore, and I will definitely let cousin Gillian spend the summer cool and refreshing!"
"Okay!" Chen Ajiao didn't care whether Liu De could do it or not, she clapped her hands and said happily: "My cousin loves Gillian the most..."
When Liu Prostitute heard Liu De's words, he knew that his nephew probably had an idea, and he quickly asked: "It's too hot in Chang'an. Even I have to go to Ganquan in two days. Liu De, if you have any good way to cool down the heat?"
You might as well say it!”
Liu De chuckled and said: "There is nothing we can do this year. When winter comes, I will ask someone to store some ice cubes for use in the summer... This way, we won't be afraid of the scorching heat in summer!"
"Can ice cubes in winter be stored until summer?" Liu Piao felt that he could not keep up with Liu De's thinking.
Liu De nodded and said: "Yes, my aunt probably doesn't know that as long as there is a cool cellar, you can store ice cubes from winter until summer!"
When it comes to enjoyment, as a time traveler, Liu De knows it better than anyone else!
In his previous life, his Hejian Palace not only had many cellars dedicated to storing ice, but also built several greenhouses. He even opened a pond in the palace dedicated to breeding crabs, soft-shell turtles and other delicacies.
Relying on these things, Liu De has won over many people, but in the face of the power of the country, his little power doesn't even have a chance to jump?
Entering the palace, Chen Ajiao felt as if she had arrived at her own home, jumping up and down and shouting in a soft and cowardly voice: "Royal Grandma, Imperial Grandma, Gillian is here to see you..."
Hearing Chen Ajiao's voice, Queen Mother Dou immediately walked out of the back hall.
"Gillian...Gillian..." Empress Dowager Dou's eyesight was so weak at night that she could no longer see people. Therefore, with the help of two maids, she could only fumble to touch Chen Ajiao and then get intimate with her.
He kissed Chen Ajiao's tender little face: "Aijiao, the baby of the Aijiao family, hasn't come to see the Aijiao family for three days..."
Then, she said angrily: "Liu Piao, didn't the Ai family tell you to bring Gillian into the palace to visit the Ai family from time to time?"
Liu Piao immediately walked forward with a smile, held his old mother's hand, and said coquettishly: "Mother, you don't know that every year at this time of year in Chang'an City, the weather is very hot, and you think your daughter doesn't want to enter.
The palace has come to show its filial piety? It’s so hot that even horses don’t dare to go on the road!”
"That's true..." Queen Mother Dou immediately accepted this explanation and said, "The emperor went to Ganquan Palace to escape the summer heat..."
Empress Dowager Dou took Liu Piao's hand and asked, "Is the weather in Chang'an particularly hot this year?"
"Yes!" Liu Piao helped Queen Mother Dou sit down and said kindly: "Mother, you don't know, at noon, I put an egg on the ground in the yard at home, and it was cooked in a quarter of an hour..."
"It's so hot..." Empress Dowager Dou sighed and ordered the eunuchs waiting on her left and right: "Tomorrow you will take the Ai family's talisman to the young master's house and ask the young master's house to send something to relieve the heat to the relatives, nobles and senior ministers in Chang'an.
Go, mung beans, tea, lotus leaves, mint, give some of each. In addition, give more to Zhang Wuhou and Nan Pihou. Don’t forget to give a copy to the ministers of the DPRK and China...
"
"No!" The eunuchs on the left and right nodded in agreement.
Only then did Liu De come forward, knelt down and said, "My grandson, I would like to send my regards to the Imperial Grandmother!"
"Liu De is here too... Come on, prepare a seat for His Highness..." Empress Dowager Dou smiled and said: "It's just right, you are all here, let's have a casual meal with the Ai family..."
Empress Dowager Dou touched Chen Ajiao's pink and tender face and said, "What does Ajiao want to eat tonight?"
"I want to eat beef!" Chen Ajiao said happily, waving her little hands.
The Han family prohibited all forms of slaughtering cattle. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime and may even lead to death. Therefore, it was basically difficult for the people to eat beef. Generally, only cattle that had died of illness or old age could be eaten with the permission of the government.
Slaughter. However, farmers’ feelings for farm cattle are like family members. Generally, farm cattle will be buried when they die.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to eat beef among the people!
As for the nobles who slaughter cattle privately, if the court officials know about it, they will be punished immediately!
Therefore, even in Guantao’s family, beef is rarely available.
However, the royal family has always violated laws and disciplines, and the imperial palace of the Shaofu raises many beef cattle specially used for food...
Therefore, the royal family can basically eat beef.
This has to be said. In the Han Dynasty, very few people ate pork because the cooking skills were not up to par. In addition, the pigs were raised in too dirty conditions and contained many bacteria. It was easy to get sick after eating. Therefore, except for common people, few people
Some nobles would eat pork.
Generally, the meat of nobles mainly consists of mutton, chicken, duck, goose and other poultry meat.
Therefore, the nobles with connections would often come to the palace from time to time to enjoy the autumn breeze and have a good meal.
After Liu De sat down, he said: "Royal Grandma, my grandson's exam will be on arithmetic tomorrow. Therefore, my grandson came here to ask for your advice. Please help my grandson check..."
When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What opinions can the Ai family have? Liu De, just go ahead and do it, the Ai family supports you!"
Regardless of anything else, Liu De knew that he had to come and talk to her and ask for her opinion on such a major matter, which showed respect.
When Liu De heard this, he immediately knew that he had made the right move.
For Queen Mother Dou, since she lost her sight, she has attached great importance to other people's attitude towards her.
Liu Deke remembers clearly how Liu Che's Jianyuan New Deal was abolished in his previous life.
"Actually, my old grandmother is quite easy to deal with and easy to coax!" Liu De thought to himself.
Of course, this is for comparison.
Compared with Empress Lu of the previous generation, Empress Wu of later generations, and Cixi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou was naturally a pure and kind little white rabbit.
But in China's long history, how easy would it be for the Queen Mother to leave her name in the history books and have deeply influenced the country's politics for decades?
Liu De himself also knew that if Chen Ajiao hadn't been by his side and Liu Piao was there to say good things, he probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to be acquainted with Empress Dowager Dou!
"By the way, a few days ago, the queen came to tell the Ai family that she had been childless and felt very uneasy... The Ai family looked pitiful and felt pity for her, so she wanted to give her to the emperor's eleventh son.
The queen chooses a son to be his heir...The queen seems to want you to adopt him..." Empress Dowager Dou suddenly asked: "Liu De, what do you think?"
……………………
