Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1943

The red lacquer door of Chongyang Hotel was wide open, and it was extremely lively. Old friends from Beijing came one after another, melting the snow in front of the door.

Before Xiyue had seen enough of her wife, she heard Beihui come to report that Master Huang and Master Fang had come all the way from the capital to Tiema City with a group of great scholars.

Shi Anxia was shocked when he heard this. Master Huang is over ninety years old, what is he doing here?

The moment she stood up to greet them, Xiyue, Nanyan and others stood behind her and went out to greet them together.

Dong Xi smiled and squeezed Xi Yue, "My Lord, you are not following the rules."

Xiyue also smiled and squeezed Dongyu, "Madam, rules are dead, but people are alive."

Shi Anxia turned her head and glanced at Xiyue, her eyes full of unconcealed doting.

Xiyue's heart was melted by that look. She felt happy and relieved.

Oh, I miss Madam, I miss Madam, I think about Madam all the time. I feel at peace if I can stay with Madam for just a moment.

After welcoming the guests, Xiyue followed Beihui and others to work.

There were so many people coming that they all crowded into the main hall.

It was the dead of winter and there was no floor heating in the hall. A dozen smoking baskets were burning red and the charcoal fire was crackling, but it still couldn't resist the biting cold that came in through the crack in the door.

The maids served tea to everyone, but the old copper stove was not strong enough, and the steam just rose to the top and then stopped, which was very worrying. Xiyue, Nanyan and others trotted back and forth in the corridor to pass water, and their noses were red from the cold.

The boiling water in the teapot was added one pot after another, but it was still not enough. Some sugar-water eggs had to be cooked to entertain the guests from afar.

Xiyue felt that the official uniform was in the way, so she borrowed some clothes from Beihui and changed into them quickly. She then helped to get ready, just like before.

But she was more thoughtful than before and ordered the kitchen to set up three large stoves.

One sip is filled with thick ginger soup, with crushed old ginger cooked with brown sugar, and the spicy and sweet aroma rushes straight to the nose; another sip is filled with cold-relieving tea, with cassia twigs and perilla leaves bubbling in boiling water, mixed with the bitter medicinal aroma of tangerine peel; the third sip is filled with warm rice wine on the stove, with a few plums floating in it.

Xiyue explained to Nanyan, "You see, the plums that sank have absorbed the aroma of the wine. They will be used to moisten the throats of the gentlemen who are coughing badly."

Nan Yan knew that Xiyue was very capable, and she admired her very much. "Sister Xiyue, you are so capable." Then she whispered in her ear, "Is Lord Kang good to you?"

Xiyue's eyebrows curved and she looked not far away.

Doctor Kang was rolling up his sleeves and shuttling between the stoves. He was even busier than when he was on duty at the Imperial Hospital.

Xiyue smiled shyly, her face red like a blooming flower, "Okay."

Nan Yan nudged Xi Yue with her elbow and was happy for her, "Give birth to a child for Master Kang soon."

Xiyue was startled when she heard this, thinking, Lord Kang doesn't like children. But he didn't show it on his face, and just covered it up with his busyness.

She asked Doctor Kang to go to the hall and ask if anyone wanted to drink a slightly bitter and astringent cold-relieving tea to prevent colds.

When everyone saw that it was Dr. Kang, they all rushed to ask for a drink.

For a moment, the aroma of tea, medicine and plums filled the room, and everyone praised the princess for her thoughtfulness.

Shi Anxia smiled, "It's not me who is thoughtful, it's clearly Lord Kang and his wife who are taking care of you all."

Doctor Kang didn't take credit for it. He just hummed and smiled, "It was my wife's idea."
