Chapter 81: Exploring the Treasure Chu Palace! Little Si finds a new face(2/5)

this…….

This, this, this, what's going on?!

His eyes widened.

Where we are now, the temperature here can be said to be completely different from just now.

On one side is the hot summer, a sweltering place.

On one side is the cool late autumn.

This... this, this, this!!

How did you do it!!

Even the imperial palace cannot achieve such an effect.

"Father, how are you doing? Isn't it very comfortable and cool?"

Xiao Sizi turned around and looked at Li Shimin longingly.

As if to say it again.

Father, Sizi is awesome.

I have discovered this magical treasure land to relieve the scorching summer heat. I have to praise it!!

Li Shimin saw this and couldn't help but smile.

He thought his precious daughter was getting cuter and cuter every time he looked at her.

"Yes, my father doesn't feel warm anymore."

Li Shimin said truthfully.

The cool space here was something Li Shimin had never experienced before, not even those specially made ice rooms from aristocratic families could compare to it.

Kuan'er, that brat...

What on earth has he been enjoying behind his back all these years?

etc!!

In previous summers, Kuan'er was always invisible in the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace. Could it be related to this place?!

What the hell....

It's such a good place, no wonder he doesn't study every day.

With such comfort, who would want to leave?!

at this time.

There is a gentle and elegant young man from Prince Chu's palace who has been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Xiao Sizi bringing someone over, he was still His Majesty, neither humble nor overbearing. He stretched out his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Taoist Master has ordered me to come and receive the guests brought by His Highness Xiao Sizi. Since you are here, please follow me to the room."

Have a rest, there’s plenty of tea in there too.”

Li Shimin glanced at him, picked up his little Sizi, and followed him.

behind.

Queen Changsun, Princess Changle and all the palace officials also came over one after another.

this!!!

hiss!!!

my God!!

Queen Changsun was a little confused.

The same was true for Princess Changle, who even shivered several times.

All the palace people were even more shocked, with expressions of horror and disbelief on their faces.

This temperature is incredible!!

They followed Li Shimin and the young man. The closer they got, the cooler they felt. When the young man opened a mechanism, appeared in a room and entered, they felt extremely comfortable almost all over their bodies.

"Why is your room so cool?!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.

Very unclear.

I really don't understand.

Even if you get ice, it's impossible to cool the entire room.

Li Shimin spent many summers, even if there were some ice cubes, he almost always endured it.

Especially when sleeping at night, what if there are ice cubes?

It's too cold to put on your body, but it can only feel comfortable for a while if you put it next to it. After that, it will all turn into water, and you have to clean up the water stains. Before you can even fall asleep, the temperature will rise again.

And if there is such a house in summer.

That is really unimaginable!!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the ultimate happiness on earth.

"Yes! What is going on? Sizi raises his hand and wants to know."

Little Sizi didn't understand either. He was sitting at a table with his little hands raised like a primary school student asking a question, while his little feet kept dangling under the table.

Queen 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: "Reporting to your Majesty, this is a specially made ice room for the Prince of Chu's Palace. It cost a lot of money to build, and the entire process was supervised by His Highness himself."

"The overall construction is different from that of ordinary rooms. In order to store as much cool air as possible in the room, the entire room is sealed. There is also a place under the room to facilitate the placement of ice cubes. That place is also specially made for the purpose of keeping the ice cubes.

Cool air spreads throughout the room as much as possible.”

After saying that, the young man went under the table where Xiao Sizi was sitting, took away the bluestone slab in the middle, and immediately the hollow layout underneath was clearly visible.

Li Shimin walked over and took a look, and was instantly shocked.

Below is another small room.

Their room is equivalent to floating one meter in the air, and everything below is covered with ice.

Yes.

ice!!

All is ice!!!

This house can be said to be built on ice.

No wonder it's so cold.

Queen Changsun, Princess Changle and others also gathered around.

When I saw the scenery below, I couldn't help but take a breath.

This much ice is too luxurious!!

Many children from aristocratic families would be moved by a piece of ice in the summer, but the room here is built in the middle of countless ice cubes. This... It's an understatement to say it's a luxury, it's a waste! A huge waste!!

"Hmph, Kuan'er, is it possible that we spent summers here like this in the past? The ice cubes melt and new ones are put in, and new ones are put in all the time?!"

Li Shimin's face looked extremely ugly at this time.

Currently, the only known way to obtain ice is to use natural ice stored in cellars in winter. This kind of natural ice is extremely expensive and cannot be afforded by the family.

"Tang Yan": Kuai was a businessman and sold ice in the market.

"Yun Xian Miscellaneous Notes": The ice and snow in Chang'an are worth as much as a gold jade in the summer months.

These two records prove that the business of selling ice already existed during the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that ice cubes are stored in winter and sold in summer. The two seasons of storage can be said to be a huge consumption, and the cost of storage is extremely high, so that "sky-high price ice cubes" appear.

Even some small aristocratic families cannot afford to use ice in summer. Even Li Shimin, in the imperial city, uses ice cubes in precise control every day. If he uses a little more, there will be various excuses to call himself a fool. Here is the story

The key name is Wei Zheng, and everyone says he is greedy for pleasure and has no regard for the world.

But…….

This brat!!!

Such a waste!!!

I built an ice house with a huge amount of ice cubes. It is so luxurious that I am afraid it is the only one in the world!!

Xiao Sizi saw this and hurriedly walked to Li Shimin and helped him soothe his heart with her little hands.

"Father! Are you angry with my second brother?"
