Chapter 23 Medicated Bath
After hearing Huilan's muttering, Li Chengze nodded slightly. He was a sensible girl. If he hadn't been forced to do so by Li Liangdi, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
Chang Ji reported softly at the door, "Sir, do you want to have a meal? Yu Qing asked Liangyuan how many dishes she wanted to serve?"
"let's go."
"promise."
Courses of exquisite meals were served, including four snacks: almond bergamot, crispy apple, Heyi pancake, and bean paste rolls;
Dishes include magpie plum blossoms, butterfly rolls, ginger fish fillet, five-spice pigeon, sweet and sour lotus root, as well as spicy and sour fish and hanging oven pheasant.
The refreshing pickles include four kinds of sweet pickles, five-spice cooked mustard, sweet and sour milk melon, and sweet mixed vegetables. There is also a dessert, one of Guan Yan.
These are just normal specifications. A serious banquet would be more complicated. Usually, the menu is added and changed according to Li Chengze's preferences.
Take a look at this menu and you will understand why the women in the harem fight so hard for favor, in order to make themselves live a better and more comfortable life.
But if the prince doesn't come, Huilan won't have this kind of treatment. Even if there is a small kitchen with hot dishes, cold dishes and dim sum, there are only six dishes in total, two dim sums, two hot dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, plus two cold dishes.
There are two meals a day and unlimited snacks. Fruit depends on whether you are favored. Fruit is not available every day.
There are countless examples of Liangyuan. How can you be allowed to eat haese every day?
In order to get better food on weekdays, Ding Xiang would politely reward the eunuch who brought food every time, starting with at least ten taels of silver.
For example, those who deliver food in the imperial kitchen, the aunts in the embroidery room, and the maids and eunuchs in related places such as the laundry room must be rewarded. Depending on their rank, the maids also receive five taels of silver.
The King of Hell likes to see little devils being difficult to deal with. If the subordinates make things more difficult for you, you will have to suffer the consequences of being dumb.
"Come sit down and try it."
Li Chengze took her hand and sat down, and Huilan poured him a glass of wine diligently.
"Master, it would be nice if you came here more often. I can eat good food more often."
Li Chengze glared at her angrily, "Sentiment, you asked me to come here just for the delicious food, you greedy little thing."
"There are countless examples of people. I'm still young. I need to eat better to gain weight."
Huilan puffed out her chest and tried to seduce Li Chengze very childishly.
He raised his head and gave her a slap in the face, "Don't act weird. You must be good. I often come to see you. I can't forget you. Why don't I need to take medicinal baths? You try your best to make me miss you. How can I forget you?"
.”
There was a flash of fire in the bright starry eyes for a moment. The little girl was not big but she had a curvy figure. Her skin was as white and tender as smooth white porcelain, which made people feel itchy.
"I'm just afraid that you'll forget me. Master, try this spicy and sour fish. Yu Qing made it really well."
Huilan showed a flattering and flattering smile, picked the most tender piece of fish for him, and carefully removed the fish bones.
Li Chengze smiled without saying a word and tasted it. It tasted really good. It was sour, spicy and refreshing, and it was very appetizing.
"Chang Ji rewarded Yu Qinghe's kitchen."
Giving her a face will also make her live a better life, and you can't take advantage of the girl in vain, right?
"Thank you sir."
Huilan thanked her happily.
She eats without pretentiousness or pretentiousness, and eats with real joy. She won't put down her chopsticks until she is full.
Seeing her bulging little face after eating, Li Chengze felt that his appetite had improved a lot. Every time he ate here, it tasted particularly sweet. It seemed that he enjoyed eating more.
The two of them actually ate quite a few dishes, and they were quite edible.
Huilan, who had eaten and drank enough, was sitting on a round-backed chair with her stomach upturned. She had no image at all, which made him look very interesting.
The women in the yard were all happy to see him coming, but no one was like her. She would not dare to eat again after a few bites. She walked, sat and lay very orderly for fear of making any mistakes. She was also very considerate in serving herself.
But it's not interesting, just like dull wood.
On the contrary, Huilan is truly unpretentious, open and straightforward, making us more comfortable and relaxed to get along with.
"Lazy girl, make me a cup of tea."
Li Chengze was also very full and ordered her to make tea for him.
"good."
She got up happily and personally made him a cup of tea and served it to him. Li Chengze tasted the tea and nodded with satisfaction. Few people could match his tea-making skills.
"Ding Xiang is going to prepare hot water. I'm going to prepare a medicinal bath."
"yes."
Changji and Dingxiang went to work.
Huilan took out the prepared ointment and put it in the ear room, and she would use it on him later.
"Sir, today we are going to cleanse the marrow and pulse to remove toxins from the body. The soaking temperature of this ointment should not be too low, otherwise it will affect the efficacy of the medicine and it will be very painful. I will teach you how to perform the exercises in a while and cooperate with the treatment. The effect will be very good.
But you have to endure the pain and don't faint."
"I know, I don't know where you got all those things and abilities."
Li Chengze was also very curious, but he didn't ask too much. Anyway, she was his woman, so she could still fly.
“My family taught me when I was a child, but I was impatient and stopped after practicing for a few years. Also, I was not very qualified and was spoiled since I was a child and lacked resilience.
After suffering a lot this time and almost losing my life, I realized that I had made a big mistake and should not have abandoned the technique, so I picked it up and started practicing again."
"The Li family cannot be moved for the time being. There is still use for being alone. Let's keep Li Liangdi. If she falls, it will be troublesome for others to come in."
Li Chengze meant to keep Li Liangdi. This was an explanation and gave her enough face.
She is just a fifth-rank lady, and her father is only a fourth-rank official. What do I need to explain to you?
"Yes, but she almost killed me when she bullied me. If I have the chance, I will still beat her up. I am a person who will retaliate."
Huilan put the ugly words to the forefront.
"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth."
Li Chengze pinched her nose helplessly, and Huilan made a face at him dissatisfied.
Changji had someone bring the bathtub in, and after everything was done, he stood silently waiting for instructions.
"You go out, Ding will take care of you."
"yes."
Changji glanced at him, and everyone quickly filed out and left the penthouse.
"Master, I will help you undress."
Huilan was still a little shy, so she took off his clothes and belt for him, leaving only his shirt and trousers.
Li Chengze got into the bathtub and finished cooking. Huilan put the ointment in and melted it, and then turned the bottom stove to let the fire burn a little brighter.
Huilan put her hand on his back, "Hold your breath, concentrate your mind, and follow me.
Li Chengze concentrated on learning new exercises with her. This was the Yangyuan Exercise she practiced herself. After thinking about it, she decided to teach it to him to improve her own value. Should she spend the rest of her life with him? A useless woman is very
Soon to be abandoned.
This skill is not a valuable skill, and it doesn't matter if it is taught. Instead, he needs to continue to guide and give guidance in the future. He has no way to abandon himself, and the subsequent skills also need to be guided and practiced by himself.
"Remember its route, practice when the moon rises in the evening until you wake up in the morning to absorb the first ray of purple sun energy, absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and strengthen your body."
The two cooperated with each other, and under her guidance, Li Chengze understood quickly.
