Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

It seems that the children in this palace are too reserved. If they meet people of the same age, they might be happier.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother could not help but give the Emperor a sincere reminder, "You have too few children in your palace. Look, Mingyue is usually not so lively and active. She is so happy today, it must be because An'an is here. You should have more children!"

At this moment, no one present dared to speak.

Everyone knows that the emperor has few children and is afraid that he might end up in trouble if he is not careful.

Besides, since the Emperor ascended the throne, all the children he has born have been weak. Even raising Princess Mingyue to this age has taken a lot of time, energy and effort.

The emperor could not help but frown. No matter how respectful he was to his mother, he did not want to be humiliated in front of the younger generation. "Mother, there are so many children here, and none of them are married. What are you talking about?"

The Queen Mother then realized that there was a child present, and she coughed immediately. She didn't want to say that she was wrong, so she said naturally, "Okay, okay, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Just remember it in your heart."

Both sides gave each other a way out and didn't say much.

Princess Mingyue was a legitimate princess, so naturally she couldn't say anything more about Concubine Li, and the matter was left unresolved.

"Sister An An, this mushroom soup is so delicious. The imperial physician told me to eat more mushrooms, but I don't like them. Usually, no matter how they cook it, it always tastes weird. But yours is especially delicious. I can drink two bowls today." Princess Mingyue was indeed a legitimate princess. When she saw that her grandmother and father had finished chatting, she seemed not to hear them and happily talked about other things.

Qi Ning'an was also very cooperative. The royal heir was a big deal, and it was inappropriate to talk about it in front of them. It was also because the Queen Mother was not shy.

"I'll give the recipe to your personal maid, and ask her to take it back to your small kitchen. On weekdays, in addition to these mushrooms, you can also stew medicinal herbs in this way. You are weak, so eating some medicinal food is much better than taking medicine. After all, medicine is three-quarters poison."

Princess Mingyue then smiled an especially beautiful smile and called her sister softly, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely eat well."

Suddenly, the hall returned to its harmonious state.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor both ate a lot of food. After they were full, they returned to the main hall.

"Mother, I have to go back and take care of business." The emperor spoke first. After all, he didn't have time to play all day.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and let him go. Before she left, she suddenly stopped him and said, "I heard that you want to change An An's name. After that, you can give her a title. Such a good girl must be more noble than others. She was given the title of Ru Ren before, which is too low a position."

The emperor didn't expect the empress dowager to say this in front of everyone, and he was stunned on the spot.

Generally speaking, if a female member of a family wants to be given a title, it needs to be discussed with the Imperial Household Department, the Empress Dowager, and if there is to be a title, the Imperial Household Department has to be asked to draft the characters before it can be finalized.

"Mother, this matter needs to be discussed carefully with the Queen. It won't be too late to give the title after the discussion is completed." The Emperor finally expressed his thoughts.

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I think it is most reasonable to give her the position of a county lord. You can go and ask the Queen for business."

The Queen Mother didn't care about these things. She had to take good care of her niece who she had finally found. Besides, she also chose the Queen, so why would she go against her?

The group was about to leave one after another. After lunch, the Queen Mother herself felt a little tired. She needed to take a nap every day and now she felt a little tired.

Although I was very reluctant, I still let them go.

"An'an, you must come and accompany your grandmother more often." The Queen Mother looked at Qi Ning'an who was standing below. She looked so much like Yun'er that it always made her feel dazed.

Yun'er is like his brother. He hasn't seen his family for many years.

Qi Ning'an naturally nodded and said, "If grandma is free, please summon me to the palace and I will come to see you."

Princess Mingyue stood aside without stealing the limelight. She was well-behaved and very likable.

The Queen Mother also scolded, "And Mingyue, it's just a few steps every day. I know you don't like to play with an old woman like me, but if your sister An An comes, you can come too."

Princess Mingyue started to act coquettishly. She had always thought that the Royal Grandmother was scary, even her own mother was afraid of her, but now she didn't think she was that scary.

"The Imperial Grandmother is teasing Mingyue. If the Imperial Grandmother calls me, how can I not come~"

Her voice was so sweet and innocent that it made people feel suffocated.

After laughing and joking for a while, Nanny Hong saw that the Empress Dowager was about to fall asleep, so she had no choice but to let everyone go.

When they left, they also brought a lot of jewelry and cloth to Qi Ning'an. Originally, they wanted to pick and choose, but the Empress Dowager felt that young girls loved new clothes and new jewelry the most, so she simply didn't choose and directly took a few boxes of the best cloth from the warehouse, and found a lot of jewelry that had been hidden in the bottom of the box, and filled a whole carriage with them before letting them go.

……

On the way back, An Yonghou asked, "An An, are you used to this today?"

Qi Ning'an nodded and shook his head. There was nothing to get used to. After she came here, she stayed in the palace for several years. He knew what to do and what not to do.

In addition, she was already familiar with the elderly, and she could see that the Queen Mother was kind. She could also see that the Queen Mother really liked her, probably because of her appearance and personality.

Although the original owner is gone, the cause and effect she left behind still exist. Qi Ning'an doesn't want to be different and break these causes and effects that were supposed to be like this.

"The Queen Mother must like my mother very much."

Qi Ning'an did not respond directly, but said something that seemed unrelated.

An Yonghou nodded, "I like her very much. I spent a lot of effort to marry her. If she were still alive, you would probably be controlled by her terribly, hahahaha. She would let you, a little girl, not show up in public, and would let you learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. But if you really don't like it, she would ask you to stop running the restaurant, while secretly covering up for you.

Your mother is a cautious, gentle and considerate person, but she has been with me through a lot of ups and downs. In fact, the little rebelliousness in her heart has never stopped, otherwise she would not have married a rough man like your father, hahahahaha."

Perhaps because he finally found his daughter, An Yonghou was not so sad anymore. When he mentioned his first wife, he could always think of the good memories of the past.

After hearing this, Qi Ning'an couldn't help but become curious.
