When Cixi fled, because she was more delicate, she could not eat some of the military rations prepared by the soldiers.

So Li Lianying thought of some ways. He made some meals for the Empress Dowager Cixi that ordinary people would eat.

Empress Dowager Cixi gave in because she couldn't stand the torture of hunger, and did not blame Li Lianying after eating these meals.

At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi fled because foreign powers invaded the late Qing Dynasty.

Cixi and Emperor Guangxu escaped from the Forbidden City where they lived.

She encountered various problems while fleeing. First of all, the first problem to be solved was the problem of food.

Li Lianying, who fled with them, solved the problem of food for Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu when they fled, but it was just to fill their stomachs. After all, they had lived a privileged life before, and they were very luxurious in terms of food.

They said that the coarse grains they ate while fleeing were very unpalatable.

In the face of war, the most unbearable thing for people is hunger, so Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu reluctantly ate what Li Lianying prepared for them.

War was ruthless. After they experienced various problems caused by the war at that time, Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu accepted the simple meals they ate at that time. After all, these foods could fill their stomachs and prevent them from enduring hunger.

and life threats.

Li Lianying asked a prison soldier in a county where they fled to to cook food for Cixi and Emperor Guangxu.

When faced with the threat of starvation and life, people tend to compromise on some things, so Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi compromised.

Li Lianying solved the eating problem of Empress Dowager Cixi, but it was not very serious.
