Empress Dowager Zhou liked the cold and was afraid of the heat. For this reason, not only did Xuanyuan Qi get someone to plant flowers and trees around the Longevity Palace, but he also dug a pool and built a water pavilion in the west. Every summer, the Longevity Palace was definitely the coolest place in the entire Xuanyuan Palace.
Outside the window of the west pavilion was the pool, where the two cranes lived in the Longevity Palace.
Apart from the two trembling cranes with their heads buried in the pool, there was also a grill half the height of a person in the waterside pavilion.
Zhu Dazhi, who was Chef Zhu, stood in front of the grill and flipped the meat skewers on it. From time to time, he would apply some seasoning to the meat skewers.
