The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"I explained it to him and showed him my goodwill. Although he didn't understand who I was, he knew I had no ill will towards him, so he didn't attack me."

"I see."

Princess Lin'an nodded.

"So when will he be back to normal?"

"He has been trained like an animal for more than three years. It will take at least double or even triple that time to slowly correct his behavior. So there is no rush."

"However, the more such a person is, the more he should not be left alone in one place and left to fend for himself. He must be allowed to interact with more people of his age, see more of their daily lives, and play with them more. Maybe it will have a better effect."

peer?

Princess Lin'an quickly turned her head to look at Yun Zhining beside her, and Yun Zhining raised her lips and chuckled.

"If the princess is worried, she can take Kang'er and Ying'er to live in Qingning Palace. There are already so many people living in Qingning Palace anyway, so it won't be a big deal if you three move in."

"When my eyes get better, the two of us, plus Baozhu and Feng Cairen, will be exactly four people. We can play mahjong. Wouldn't that be great?"

Seeing that Yun Zhining agreed without hesitation, Princess Lin'an was so moved that she almost cried.

"Empress Yi, I will always remember your kindness and generosity. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

"Whether to repay or not, we'll talk about it later. I just hope you're all well, that's enough."

Yun Zhining patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

"Today is a good day. We got rid of those two annoying guys, Wei Tai and Mei Niang, and found Kang Er. Although Kang Er suffered a little, he is still alive. This is a blessing in disguise, so we should be happy."

"I'll have someone prepare a sumptuous meal later. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat braised pork elbow, grilled lamb chops, and stewed lamb with astragalus."

"No problem, I'll arrange it."

There are a lot of people in Qingning Palace, so Yun Zhining asked people to prepare a lot of ingredients.

First, select thirty pork elbows, then prepare appropriate amounts of salt, sugar, onion, ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, colored old soy sauce, and wine to remove the fishy smell.

Prepare a pot of clean water, put the pork elbow into the cold water, shrink the skin and meat with cold water first, then take it out and drain the water for later use.

Then prepare the onion, ginger and garlic, wrap the seasoning in a cloth, put plenty of water in the pot, then put in the pork elbow, bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, add the prepared onion and ginger slices, then add the seasoning packet, soy sauce and deodorizing wine, and continue to boil over high heat.

After boiling, turn to low heat and simmer for half an hour, then add appropriate amount of salt for seasoning and appropriate amount of sugar to enhance the flavor. Continue to simmer, and when you can easily insert chopsticks into the pork elbow, it is cooked.

At this time, there is still a lot of soup in the pot, and you need to use high heat to reduce the soup. After the soup is reduced, use a colander to scoop out the pork elbow.

The pork elbow is tender and smooth, bouncy and chewy. Your mouth will be filled with oil when you take a bite. It is even more delicious if it is paired with a bowl of rice.

Xiao Pu Tao and Zhou Baozhu liked it very much. Each of them held a huge pork elbow and chewed it madly. Their faces and mouths were covered with oil, which was particularly funny.

Feng Cairen didn't like this rough way of eating, so Yun Zhining asked someone to cut the pork elbow into thin slices, then made some dipping sauce and sent it to her.

However, be careful when cutting and make sure to wait until the pork elbow is cool, otherwise the elbow will break and affect the appearance.

Grilled lamb chops is a big dish, so you have to choose a good pair of lamb chops, and they must be fresh, otherwise the taste will be wrong.

After selecting the ribs, first use a knife to trim all the edges. Make sure there are no uneven edges. After trimming, put them into boiling water to cook out the blood foam. Then take them out and wash off the residue and blood foam with clean water, and drain the water.

Wash the pot clean, add appropriate amount of water, then add peppercorns, pepper powder, chopped green onions, soy sauce and deodorizing wine, and then put in the lamb chops.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat. When the lamb chops are about 80% cooked, use a colander to scoop them out. Let them dry for a while. Prepare some flour, beat a few eggs into it, mix it into a paste, and spread it evenly on the lamb chops.

Yun Zhining particularly likes to eat grilled food, so as soon as she entered Qingning Palace, she had people make an oven, which came in handy now.

After the lamb chops are coated with batter, they are placed on a baking tray and put into the oven. Someone then watches the heat and they are almost done in a quarter of an hour.

During the roasting process, the person watching the fire also spread a layer of honey water on it, so the roasted lamb chops are sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, juicy and full of fragrance. They are so delicious that you almost swallow your tongue.

Stewed mutton with Astragalus can warm the spleen and stomach, eliminate water and relieve swelling, replenish qi and strengthen yang, and strengthen the foundation. It is very suitable for Yun Zhining and Princess Lin'an.

The mutton chosen is the best black mutton, and the astragalus and red dates are also of top quality. Before cooking, the sheep is slaughtered first, and then the slaughtered and very fresh mutton is sent to Qingning Palace as quickly as possible. Xiaokui washes the mutton and blanchs it in water, and then washes the blanched mutton again to prevent foam and fishy smell from mixing into the meat.

Then take a pot, pour in an appropriate amount of water, put the mutton in, bring to a boil over high heat, add seasonings such as astragalus and red dates, and simmer over low heat for one and a half hours, until the soup is as white as jade, then it is done.

Xiao Kui first picked up a piece of meat and had someone pass it to Yun Zhining. Yun Zhining took a bite and found the meat tender and the soup delicious.

After the main course was ready, Yun Zhining ordered someone to prepare a mixed hot pot. The soup was freshly boiled mutton bone soup, which was added with potatoes, corn, meatballs, crispy meat, vermicelli, beef and mutton slices and other vegetables. It was particularly delicious.

The first month of the year was spent in feasting and drinking and in great joy. Yun Zhining had recovered. She had more flesh on her waist and her face became rounder. She looked very blessed.

Although Kang'er couldn't speak yet, his mood had obviously improved a lot. He recognized everyone in Qingning Palace and had also met the eldest prince and others.

However, he seemed to be very afraid of the eldest prince. The third prince and the fourth princess were a little afraid of him, so he liked to play with the second prince and Little Grape the most.

The two also liked to play with him. Laughter and fighting sounds could be heard in Qingning Palace every day. It was particularly lively, which made Qi Yejing want to come and see them every day.

On the night before the first day of February, Concubine Tang had just finished washing and was getting ready to go to bed when she saw her personal maid come in with someone.

She frowned instantly.

"Xin'er, why are you here with me so late at night instead of serving the Queen in Fengyi Palace?"
