"And, it would be great if my second brother was there that night! My second brother would definitely beat those assassins, and you wouldn't be hurt. Damn it, it's all my second brother's fault. If my second brother was in Chang'an City, I wouldn't be bullied."
Little Shizi lay on the table and drew circles.
Li Junxian laughed, didn't care, and continued to eat hot pot.
After finishing the hot pot, Xiao Yizi waved goodbye with the pots and pans.
Although Li Junxian said that he could handle those empty bowls, Xiao Yizi said that this was what the second brother taught her, and that he had to do things with a beginning and an end. This was his second brother's good sister.
Li Junxian couldn't say anything if Xiao Yizi was so persistent.
After looking at Xiao Yizi leaving under the escort of two guards from the Chu Prince's Mansion, Li Junxian went back to the room to take out the big sword. In the dark night, even though he was injured, he began to practice hard.
The punches are smooth and flowing, strong and powerful!
The steps are like a tiger's steps, and the wind is as stable as Mount Tai.
Qi is nourished with directness but harmless, and strength is accumulated with curves but excess!
"Your Highness King Chu, don't worry, I will definitely help you protect Your Highness Little Snow."
His thoughts were unparalleled firmness.
……………………
Early this morning.
Li Shimin had just finished his morning court and was about to go to Tai Chi Palace when he found that there was an eunuch blocking the door at the Tai Chi Palace.
"His Majesty!!"
Seeing his figure, the eunuch hurried over.
"Your Majesty, I have to report it if I have something to do."
Li Shimin raised his eyes slightly and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
The eunuch lowered his head and replied, "That's right now, the new maid from His Highness Little Snow Zi came to the news, saying that His Highness Little Snow Zi was leading the message. Your Majesty, if you have finished handling the political affairs at hand, you can go to the Chu Palace to play with her. His Highness Little Snow Zi said that he had discovered a new and fun place."
New place!!
Li Shimin's eyes widened in an instant.
What did my own treasure hunter discover? What did you discover in the Chu Palace again?!
Excited!
surprise!
Li Shimin wished he could fly over now.
It was because of the things from the Chu Palace that helped him, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, there were a lot of things.
but.
Even if it has nothing to do with the Chu Prince's Mansion, if the little guy said he was in another place, such as a pavilion or a bamboo garden, he would have gone there quickly.
There is no reason.
Just because of the last assassination, Li Shimin was really scared. As long as Xiao Yizi had something to ask for, he would definitely agree.
"Let's go! Follow me to the Chu Prince's Mansion!!"
Li Shimin made a quick decision and immediately set off for the Chu Palace.
The weather today is different from yesterday.
The sun was so vicious that I had just finished the morning court, and it was the hottest time of the year. I didn’t walk far away, and Li Shimin felt that his back was soaked.
Although the road to the Chu Prince's Mansion is not far away, it is really anxious, literally anxious.
The sun has come out, and the sun is soaking in the face.
"Your Majesty, that's ahead."
Li Yan, who was accompanying him, quickly pointed forward.
Here, the Chu Palace is clearly visible.
The construction of the Chu King's Mansion is very particular. A small part falls in the sun, while the other side is all in the shadow, which looks very shaded at first glance.
"Kun'er, there are really some specialties in choosing a location for the establishment of the mansion."
Li Shimin laughed.
Then he took people into the Chu Palace.
Since entering the Chu Palace, it has been much cooler.
And after entering the basement, it becomes extremely stuffy.
"His Majesty."
Not far away, you can see Queen Changsun.
"Guanyinbi, you are here too."
Li Shimin walked up with a smile.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Little Shizi ordered someone to pass on a message to Chen, saying that there is a fun place for the King of Chu Mansion. When I am free, I can come over to play with her."
"As soon as I finished hearing this, I put down many things at hand and rushed to the scene."
Hearing this.
Li Shimin nodded, this was the same reason why he came.
The two walked together, followed by many palace servants.
"Father, Mother, hehe, you are all here! You want to hug me!"
Little Shizi had been waiting for Li Shimin and his wife at the door for a long time. When they saw the two of them arrived, they hurriedly trotted over.
Behind her is her sister Princess Changle.
Li Shimin was not surprised. Since the assassination, he asked Changle to try his best to accompany her sister to avoid miscarriage.
"Bang!!"
Little Shizi jumped into Li Shimin's arms and rushed forward quickly. Even Li Shimin took a few steps back before catching the little guy.
"Oh~ Little Shizi, please slow down."
Li Shimin laughed.
Empress Changsun was also quite helpless and said, "Little Shizi, be careful."
"Hehe! It's okay, everything is under the control of Yizi."
Xiao Yizi said that she was extremely proud and had a strong sense of planning.
then.
He said in surprise: "Hey! Father, you are sweating a lot on your back. Is it too hot?!"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, the weather is getting hotter and hotter today. My father has asked him to go to the ice room to get ice. After I get it back, I will use it for you first. Let's see if you are hot... Well, little whiskers, why are you not sweating?!"
This shouldn't be.
The basement of the King of Chu Mansion is extremely stuffy.
It’s much hotter than the ground, how can you not sweat?!
Little Shizi said angrily: "Hehe, Father! Shizi discovered the second brother's secret treasure house today. There is the second brother's secret treasure house, so of course it's not hot."
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
Little Shizi jumped out of Li Shimin's arms.
Holding his hand and trotting quickly.
Li Shimin didn't know what the little guy wanted to do, so she just let her do it.
And Changle behind him looked suspicious.
What secret treasure land?!
She had just discussed things with the old man, so she didn't watch Xiao Yizi for a while. When she came back, she found that Xiao Yizi had no sweat. Could it be that this was related to that secret treasure land?
Go around in circles.
When he arrived at a new place, Li Shimin was stunned.
this…….
What's going on?!
His eyes widened.
The temperature here is very different from the current location.
On one side is a hot summer, a sultry place.
On one side is cool late autumn.
This...this this!!
How to do it!!
Even the palace cannot achieve such an effect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Father, how about it? Isn't it very comfortable and cool?"
Little Shizi was turning around and looking at Li Shimin with both eyes.
As if to say it again.
Father, the son is amazing.
I discovered this treasure land of immortals and savored the heat of summer and wanted to praise it!!
Li Shimin saw it and couldn't help but smile.
He thought his baby daughter became more and more cute as he looked at it.
"Yes, my father doesn't feel hot anymore."
Li Shimin said truthfully.
This cool space is something Li Shimin had never felt before, and even the ice rooms specially made by aristocratic families were incomparable.
Kuan'er, this little brat...
What are he enjoying behind his back for years?
etc!!
In previous summers, Kuan'er could never be seen in the Imperial College and the Imperial Palace. Could it be that it is related to this place?!
This is so fucking...
No wonder he doesn't study his homework every day because of such a good place.
Who would be willing to leave so comfortable?!
at this time.
There is a gentle and elegant young man from the Chu Palace who had been waiting at this time.
When he saw that Xiao Yizi brought people over, his Majesty was not humble or arrogant, he stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Taoist priest is here to receive the guests brought by His Majesty Xiao Yizi. Since you are here, please follow us to the room to rest, there is also a lot of tea in it."
Li Shimin glanced at him, then picked up his little squirrel and followed him.
Behind.
Empress Changsun, Princess Changle and a group of palace ladies also came over one after another.
this!!!
hiss!!!
My God!!
Empress Changsun was a little confused.
The same is true for Princess Changle, and she even shivered several times.
The palace people were even more shocked, their faces were horrified and unbelievable.
This temperature is simply!!
They followed Li Shimin and the boy, and the closer they got, the cooler they felt. When the boy opened a mechanism, appeared in a room and went in, they were almost extremely comfortable.
"Why is your room so cool?!"
Li Shimin couldn't help asking.
I don't understand very much.
I really don't understand.
Even if it is to take ice, it is impossible to cool the whole room.
Li Shimin spent many summers, and even if there were some ice cubes, he almost always gritted his teeth.
Especially when you go to bed at night, what if you have ice?
It's too cool to put it on your body, but it can only be comfortable for a while, and then it will melt all the water and have to clean the water stains. Before you can fall asleep, the temperature will come up again.
And if there were such a house in summer.
That's really unimaginable!!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the paradise of human beings.
"Yes! What's going on? I raised my hand and wanted to know."
Xiao Yizi didn't understand either. She was sitting at a table, her hands were raised like a primary school student asking questions, while her feet were constantly swinging under the table.
Empress Changsun, Princess Changle and others also looked over. Although they did not speak, they were all extremely curious.
This place.
It's really puzzling.
While pouring tea for everyone, the young man said, "Report to Your Majesty, this is an ice room specially made by the King of Chu Mansion. It was built at a great cost and price. The whole process was personally supervised by Your Highness."
"The overall construction is different from ordinary rooms. In order to store the cool air in the room as much as possible, the whole room is sealed. There is also a place under the room to facilitate ice cubes. That place is also specially made, with the purpose of letting the cool air in the ice cubes spread throughout the room as much as possible."
After saying that, the boy came to the bottom of the table where the little whisker was, took away the bluestone slab in the middle, and the hollow layout below was clearly visible.
Li Shimin walked over and took a look, and was shocked in an instant.
Below is another small room.
Their room is equivalent to one meter floating in the air, and the bottom is full of ice.
Yes.
ice!!
All are ice!!!
This house can be said to be built on ice.
No wonder it's so cold.
Empress Changsun, Princess Changle and others also surrounded her.
When I saw the scenery below, I couldn't help but take a breath.
So much ice is too luxurious!!
Many children of aristocratic families can move the world when they have a piece of ice in summer, but the room here is built among countless ice cubes. This... is a waste of luxury!!
"Hmph, Kuan'er, can he spend the summers like this here in previous years? The ice melts and then puts new ones, keep putting new ones?!"
Li Shimin's face was extremely ugly at this time.
The only known method of obtaining ice cubes is to use natural ice stored in the cellar in winter. This natural ice is extremely expensive and cannot be afforded without the foundation of a family.
"Tang Li Yan": The Kuai people were merchants and sold ice in the market.
"Miscellaneous Notes of Yunxian": Chang'an ice and snow, when it reaches summer, the price is equal to gold and jade.
These two records prove that there was an ice-selling business during the Tang Dynasty.
However, ice cubes are stored in winter and are only taken out for sale in summer. In the two quarters of storage, it can be said that it consumes a lot and the storage cost is extremely high, so that "sky-high ice cubes" appear.
Even some small families cannot bear the use of ice in summer. Even Li Shimin, he accurately controls the use of ice every day in the imperial city. If he uses a little more, he will have various notes to call himself a fool. The key here is Wei Zheng, and everyone says that he is greedy for pleasure and ignores the world.
But…….
This brat!!!
Such a waste!!!
I built an ice room with a large amount of ice cubes. I am so luxurious that I am afraid that this is the only one in the world!!
Seeing this, Xiao Yizi hurriedly walked to Li Shimin and helped him to smooth his heart with his little hand.
"Father! Are you going to be angry with your second brother?"
"Hmph! Don't be angry with my second brother, otherwise I won't talk to my father in the future."
Little Shizi talked.
He stretched out his little hand and was proudly putting his hips on.
Li Shimin suddenly felt a lot of anger and smiled and said, "Little Shizi, this is not what my father means."
Little Shizi didn't even look at Li Shimin and said, "No matter! Shizi thinks his father is just angry! Shizi asks his father to promise not to be angry with his second brother, so that Shizi can pay attention to his father."
Li Shimin felt extremely troubled when he heard this.
Why did Xiao Yizi feel so unhappy after saying a few words to Kuan'er? Or is it my caring little cotton jacket?!
Black heart!
A black-hearted little cotton jacket!!
Li Shimin was indignant. Why was his little whisper so kind to Kuan'er, but he was like this? This was unfair.
Jealous!
Very jealous!!
Little Shizi, open your eyes and see, Kuan'er is not that perfect, and I am also amazed at my father.
"Okay, okay, my father promised our little son not to be angry with Kuan's son."
Although he thought so in his heart, Li Shimin still compromised with his baby daughter on the surface.
"Hehe, then Weizi is not angry at the birth of his father."
Little Shizi replied with a titty voice, and her little face, like a porcelain doll, was full of smiles.
then.
She leaned into the boy's ear and whispered: "I have successfully resisted the foreign enemy, but Yizi is still angry with her second brother. She has not brought Yizi here for so many times. I have to write down this Yizi's small notebook."
"Don't tell your second brother, and don't think about letting your second brother coax the whiskers with delicious food, and then take your second brother to play on the swing, go out to Chang'an City to play, buy good-looking new clothes. Don't tell your second brother that these are just about talking to you."
The young man was slightly stunned and then smiled bitterly, "Sorry, Your Highness, Your Highness has his own difficulties, and I will tell Your Highness truthfully about your request."
When the little Siezi heard this, she turned her head proudly and said, "Hmph~ Siezi....Ha Qiu."
Half of the words.
Little Squirt sneezed.
Princess Changle had been paying attention to her sister for a long time and said, "Little Shizi, it's too cold here. You are in poor health. Sister will take you out."
This is the place to store all the ice and the coldest place in the whole room.
It's very different from the outside.
Go forward and pick up the sneezing little Squirrel, and Princess Changle took her away.
The little guys kept making trouble on the road.
"Sister, I'm not cold!!"
"By the way, don't tell your second brother that Yizi wants him to take Yizi to eat hot pot, it's useless! Don't bring Yizi to the ice room, please write down this hatred..."
"Bang."
Before he finished speaking, the door closed.
Little Shizi's resentment words came to an abrupt end.
The boy calmly wrote down Xiao Yizi's demands.
Delicious, swinging, playing in Chang'an Street, and His Highness brings hot pot.
There are about four demands that can prevent His Highness from hiding His Highness from hiding his sins.
He remembers it very clearly.
"Ahem, it's OK."
"Can you tell me why Kuan'er wastes ice so much?!"
Li Shimin and Xiao Yizi promised not to get angry, so they tried their best to suppress their anger and continued, "He is my prince of the Tang Dynasty, why is he so extravagant?!"
“How much money should I waste enjoying this way??”
"I'm afraid it will take a huge sum of money to maintain this igloo for a summer?"
Queen Changsun didn't say anything, but her eyes were filled with anger. She obviously agreed with Li Shimin's idea.
I have been consumed all the time, which is simply a waste of money.
After a simple calculation, her heart... was trembling.
The boy stopped pouring tea and explained: "This, Your Majesty, His Highness, he actually does not need to spend money on these ice cubes."
No money needed?!
Hearing this, Li Shimin widened his eyes.
"No money is needed? Could it be that he is a messenger who is trying to rob him?!"
Ice will not be made out of nothing.
If there is one piece here, then others will lose one piece.
Li Shimin can only contact the robbery.
The young man shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, how many troubles will you help Your Majesty solve? Your Majesty, can you trust Your Majesty more?"
this…….
Hearing this, Li Shimin realized that he was indeed doing something wrong.
How many troubles did Kuan'er help him solve?
a lot of!!
And it's all huge troubles.
Even the little Snow Zi's life was saved by him.
But I still doubt him.
It shouldn't be!
It really shouldn't be!!
He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, I lost my mind just now."
The young man smiled and said, "It's okay. At present, there is no way to make ice in Chang'an City. Ice cubes are rare things. But the fact that His Highness has such a large general ice cube in his hand really makes people think of robbing."
When the boy bowed his head today, the young man also gave him face and gave Li Shimin a better position.
"Then here, the source of a lot of ice cubes..."
Li Shimin glanced at the countless ice cubes underground, and wanted to speak but stopped.
"The ice cube was specially made by His Highness."
The boy responded slowly.
Production?!
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both stunned.
Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have thought that the young man could even say such words.
Ice making in the summer?
How is that possible!!
You said it would be better to make ice in winter, after all, there is ice and snow. In the summer, it is extremely hot. The ice will only melt when taken out, and there is no ice and snow. What should I use to make ice?!
Who would believe this kind of thing when you say it?
The young man looked at Li Shimin and his wife who looked disbelief and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, and the Queen, the ice cubes are really made by the young master himself, and the method is very simple, even if I learn it."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "How about it, show it to me."
"Don't try all kinds of methods to excuse Kuan'er. Of course... If you don't show it, I won't blame you. Even today's ice room incident will completely forget."
"I just hope that your Chu Palace will use less ice in the future. After all, ice cubes must be stored from winter to summer. It is a scarce resource. If you have one more piece of your Chu Palace, you will have one less piece outside."
"Give less peace and give some peace to those outside."
Li Shimin was very thoughtful and thought that the boy in front of him was excusing Kuan'er.
Ice making in the summer is simply incredible!!
The young man saw it and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, sometimes the truth is often so simple and unpretentious without any conspiracy. You wait, let's get the tools here."
The boy got up and bowed, and walked out of the room.
Suddenly.
Only Li Shimin and his wife were left in the room.
Queen Changsun couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, is it true that what the person said just now? Kuan'er, does he really have a summer ice-making method?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Shimin said helplessly: "Guanyin Bi, do you think it is possible?"
"this……."
Queen Changsun was speechless.
All right.
It sounds really fantasy.
However, it was also the sweet potato that Kuan'er invented before.
That sweet potato.
The yield per mu is a thousand kilograms, which is also incredible.
The result was that it appeared from Kuan'er's hand.
Not sure.
The same is true for the ice room this time.
Empress Changsun was suspicious.
soon.
The boy walked back to the room, holding a basin of water, several containers, and several stones in his hand.
"This... what you need is so simple?!"
Empress Changsun couldn't help asking.
The boy nodded and said, "It's just some ice, nothing is difficult."
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Now, even she doesn't believe in the boy anymore.
Ice cubes!
That is an extremely precious ice cube!!
If it could be made so simple, who wouldn't have discovered it?!
"So, you can start."
Empress Changsun spoke again.
She wanted to see what kind of reputation this young man could make.
At that time, if she can't get it out, she plans to find excuses for the young man to step down in front of His Majesty.
It is said that the weather is not suitable, the temperature is not harmonious, etc., it is still necessary to maintain the face of the boy, and it is still necessary to maintain the face of his second son.
"I understand, Empress."
The boy nodded and then began his own orderly operation.
He put the water into the container, then put it into a large jar filled with water, and constantly added saltpeter to the tank. After time, the water in the container began to frost.
"this!!!"
Li Shimin widened his eyes.
Frost, what's going on?!
And after a while.
Pupil contraction!
The mouth wide open!
Body trembles!
What he saw! What he saw!!
After frosting in this basin, a layer of ice actually appeared!!
But here, it is still very thin, and the reflected light is a bit dazzling under the illumination of the surrounding candles.
However, this is far from over.
The ice is still solidifying.
It is still solidifying quickly!!
Even Li Shimin could hear the sound of ice condensed.
Crack...
The sound is very small.
But at this moment, it exploded fiercely in his ears like thunder.
"This! This! This! How is this possible!!!"
His pupils were so wide that they were extremely wide.
I never thought that just a few simple containers and a few broken stones could actually create ice that countless people would yearn for, even Li Shimin longed for.
Li Shimin's scalp was numb, how could this be? How could this be?
Queen Changsun also widened her eyes.
Miracle, this is a miracle!!
Some unrelated things can actually create precious ice cubes!!
I heard from the boy in front of me that this method was discovered by Kuan'er.
Kuan'er...
What exactly is hidden in your mind!
No, even said, how could he know everything in his mind?!
now.
The changes in the basin are coming to an end.
The cold air begins to secrete.
It floated and pounced on the faces of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
quiet!
silence!
Silent!
The needle can be heard!
Neither Li Shimin nor Empress Changsun spoke, they were already speechless.
This moment.
Li Shimin only felt that his face was extremely hot and painful.
The ice that was born did not make him feel cool at all. On the contrary, he felt that blood was about to seep out of his body.
He couldn't figure out how ice was made like this?!
Pick up the basin and check it out.
The basin is very heavy and mainly contains those ice cubes.
The basin itself is no different from an ordinary basin, and it has no mysterious mechanism or mysterious functions.
However, just now, the basin was born into ice cubes.
Gudong...
Li Shimin swallowed hard and looked at Empress Changsun, unable to believe it, and couldn't help but look at the boy.
Very curious.
How did this change.
However, they had no face to ask.
What else can you say?
Think about what I said just now and why I didn’t believe the other person.
The boy walked over there with great calmness, smiled slightly, and didn't care.
"Your Majesty, Empress, if you two want it, then this ice will not be a rare thing to you from now on, but can be seen everywhere."
"Of course, if you want to master the ice making method, you can also inform Your Majesty and the Queen. This is also the Taoist priest's order."
"But..., please allow me to say more about this ice-making method. If I think it should not be spread, if there are few people using things, it is precious. If there are many people using them, it is worthless."
"Scarcity is precious, and this has been the case since ancient times."
The boy said, picked up the basin and turned it over, then patted it hard for a few times.
In an instant.
Crazy...
A large lump of solidified ice fell off and the streamer was smooth.
Under the candlelight, it shines and is crystal clear.
Really, real ice cubes!!
"This is really a magical skill."
"I don't know how different this ice cube is from those natural ice."
Queen Changsun squatted down, her eyes trembled slightly, and she slowly stretched out her hand and lit the ice cube.
hard!
Too hard!!
And it's extremely cool!!
The natural ice sometimes melts when stored in winter to summer, but these just made ice cubes are extremely hard and extremely grainy. They are even better ice cubes than natural ice.
It's the best ice!!
"Hiss, Your Majesty, this is really ice, and it's the best ice. We... are really wrong to blame Kuan'er."
Empress Changsun almost lost her voice.
Li Shimin:….
He opened his mouth, but he still couldn't make any sound.
What you said and what you did before is vivid in my mind.
I questioned Kuan'er, which was extremely questioned.
He also thinks he is robbing.
It's really clear.
For some reason, Li Shimin suddenly felt that his memory was so good.
I can't forget it even if I want to.
Damn it!!
Now I think about forgetting these things quickly, but the more I think about it, the clearer I remember.
Kuan'er, what exactly did he do!!
Empress Changsun saw it and knew that Li Shimin was fond of face and could not come to Taiwan, so she spoke again.
This time, I looked at the boy.
"Well, this is... How did this be done? Kuan'er, this is what he gave to you?!"
Empress Changsun couldn't help asking.
Li Shimin looked at the boy, which was also what he wanted to know the most.
The young man smiled and nodded: "Report to the Empress, yes, these are all taught to me by Your Highness. Otherwise, how could the next martial artist understand this strange method?"
ha?!
Warrior?!
You young man, you look like a scholar, gentle and gentle, gentle as jade, and you also carry a paper fan casually. Is he a martial artist?!
this…….
All right.
Another very strange thing.
But with the ice cube time before, Queen Changsun thought that as long as it was made by her own Kuan'er, it would be normal even if it was strange.
"Just just now, I saw that you put some water and stones and it freezes. But there are other hidden steps? For example... How many days does the stone need to be added to process?!"
Empress Changsun asked again.
The young man shook his head and replied, "The Empress, as I said earlier, some methods are often so simple and unpretentious."
"Stones are ordinary saltpeter, and water is also ordinary water, but when they are combined together, they can create ice. You can also easily understand that water and saltpeter give birth to ice."
The words fell.
Queen Changsun nodded.
But in my heart, I was already shocked and shocked.
Can't believe it!
I really can't believe it!!
Who will believe it if you say it?
A good basin of water, and then in the summer, it can be said that it condenses into ice under their noses.
Summer turns into ice.
This can be said to be almost the same as turning stones into gold.
The method only requires water and saltpeter, which is so simple.
"Your Majesty, we Kuan'er are really a genius who is rare in time."
Empress Changsun laughed and then looked at Li Shimin.
"These are all thought out by Kuan'er with his own talent and wisdom. Do you think... should we do this? That's... should we apologize for what we said to Kuan'er before?"
"It's impossible, because I have short-sighted eyes and weak knowledge, I scold Kuan'er for being behind, as if nothing happened, right?"
"As a mother and a father, I think we should set an example."
Empress Changsun wanted to apologize.
The voice was trembling, but more excited and excited.
My own Kuan'er is really a Qiliner.
Chapter completed!
