After leaving the government office, Zhao Bin and the other three walked along the street to the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, Zhao Bin began to unbutton and take off his clothes.
It was now the end of summer, and the weather was still very hot. Zhao Bin felt that his body was sticky and smelled of sweat. While taking off his clothes, he said to Ling'er: "Ling'er, arrange a bath."
Ling'er didn't care about this. On the way out of the capital, Zhao Bin often showed off his chest and breasts. Sometimes when he was resting, he even asked the guards to take off their clothes to cool off, which scared several children. The girl hid in the car and did not dare to come out.
But over time, I got used to it. Ling'er responded, took the clothes from Zhao Bin's hand, and walked towards the backyard.
Zhao Bin walked into the living room and sat on a chair. Cui'er came out from the back hall carrying a teapot, poured Zhao Bin a cup of tea, then picked up a small round fan and stood behind Zhao Bin, gently fanning Zhao Bin.
Zhao Bin picked up the teacup and took a sip, but the tea was a bit hot and he couldn't drink it. He put down the teacup and turned to Cui'er behind him and asked, "Are there any ice cubes in the palace?"
Cui'er kept moving her hands, lowered her eyes, pouted and shook her head helplessly.
Zhao Bin turned around and shouted toward the door: "Happy Spring, Happy Spring, come here quickly."
Chunxi heard Zhao Bin calling him outside the door, and hurriedly ran into the hall and came to Zhao Bin: "Your Majesty, the little one is here."
"Chunxi, have you ever seen the white powder on the walls of houses and courtyards?" Zhao Bin asked
Chunxi thought about it and then returned: "My lord, are you talking about ground frost?"
"Yes, it's also called Di Shuang. Go call a few guards and ask each of them to bring a broom and a dustpan. They can surround the palace and bring everything they can see to me. I'm done taking a bath. Will use it later.”
"Yes, little one, let's go right away." Chunxi hurriedly left the hall. After a while, I saw about ten people holding brooms and dustpans surrounding the palace and looking for them in the corners.
Xiao Chu came in from outside the hall with a strange expression on his face, with a big question mark on his face: "Prince, what do you want them to do?"
Wang Wu replied with a smile: "Why did the prince ask them to sweep the floor?"
It was clear that this was not what Xiao Chu was asking. What they wanted to ask was what the sweeping frost was doing.
"You will know in a moment. You go and get two basins of water, one big basin and one small basin. Fill each with half a basin of clean water, the kind you can drink. Bring it to the hall when you are ready."
In fact, for ancient people, most water was drinkable, unlike modern people who are poor and picky. Of course, this is also related to the ancient environment. Nowadays, many water resources are seriously polluted.
Zhao Bin saw Wang Wu and Xiao Chu going to the dining room to find a big basin and a small basin. He turned around and said, "Come on, Cui'er, let's go take a bath."
When I came to a room in the backyard, there was a large wooden bucket inside. Most of the bucket of warm water had been poured into it. It was just right, not too cold but not too hot.
Zhao Bin lay in the barrel and felt much more comfortable. Ling'er and Cui'er also put on translucent shorts that could only be worn in a girl's boudoir, wrapped a handkerchief on their hands, and began to wipe Zhao Bin.
Half an hour later, Zhao Bin walked out of the bathroom with a relaxed look on his face after taking a shower, followed by Ling'er and Cui'er.
The three of them came to the front hall and saw Chunxi, Wang Wu and Xiao Chu already waiting in the hall. There was also a dustpan of frost and two basins of water on the table. Zhao Bin asked Chunxi to close the door, and then several people gathered around the table.
Zhao Bin carefully put the small basin into the big basin, and then poured the collected ground frost, which is saltpeter, evenly along the edge into the clear water of the big basin.
This was also his first time making ice with saltpeter. He didn't know how much dosage to use, so he thought, just add it. After pouring part of the saltpeter into the basin, find a piece of white cloth and cover it on the water.
"Okay, just wait." Zhao Bin slowly sat back on the chair and motioned for everyone to sit down.
This is a rule Zhao Bin set for several people. They do not need to stand when discussing matters in private. "Eh? Where's Myolie? Why did she go?" Zhao Bin suddenly asked,
"Go back to your lord, Xing'er is packing things in the warehouse with someone. I'll go and fetch him now," Chunxi said.
"Go," Zhao Bin said.
After a while, Chunxi brought Xing'er to the hall and closed the door again. Myolie came to Zhao Bin: "Your Majesty!"
Xing'er saw that everyone was staring at the things covered with white cloth on the table without saying a word, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Don't ask yet, you will know later"
Xing'er didn't say anything more and turned to the chair on one side.
Half an hour later, Zhao Bin gently opened the white cloth covering the basins, and the water in the two basins had solidified into ice. Everyone screamed when they saw this scene.
Ling'er shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, ice, ice, ice."
Xiao Chu: My lord, do you know magic?
Zhao Bin: Get out!
Xiao Chu: Oh! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Wang Wu: My lord, are you really good at magic?
Zhao Bin: "You TM"
"This is called magic, have you ever heard of turning rocks into gold? This is called turning water into ice."
Linger: My lord, how come you know magic?
Zhao Bin: When I was dreaming at night, I dreamed that an old fairy with a white beard taught me that you come to my room at night and I will introduce you to him.
Linger: Really?
Zhao Bin: Really! Must come!
Linger: OK
Cui Er: I also want to see you, Your Majesty.
Zhao Bin: Then you come too
Wang Wu and Chunxi: Your Majesty, we...
"Shut up, what are you doing in my room? Don't let the gods scare you away again." Before the two of them could finish speaking, Zhao Bin broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly interrupted.
But when everyone was losing their minds, Myolie was the calmer one.
Myolie asked softly: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Why is it freezing in summer and autumn? Is there some grievance?"
Zhao Bin said with a mysterious face: "The old fairy said that when saltpeter, which is ground frost, is added to water, it will produce a chemical reaction and make the water cold. When the water becomes cold, it freezes..."
Although everyone didn't know what a chemical reaction was, they generally understood it, which meant that when this thing was added to water, it would freeze.
"Go and get a knife," Zhao Bin ordered.
"Canglanglang" Wang Wu pulled out the machete from his waist.
"Holy shit, Lao Wu, what the hell are you doing?" Zhao Bin yelled
"My lord, don't you want a knife? Use this small knife. This small knife is very sharp. I can't tell you how many feudal barbarians were chopped down on the battlefield back then," Wang Wu said.
Zhao Bin had a dark look on his face: "I'm talking about a kitchen knife. This ice is for eating. Who would dare to eat it with your knife? Chunxi go get the knife."
"It's the prince." Chunxi hurriedly ran to the dining room to find a kitchen knife.
Soon Chunxi came back with a freshly rinsed kitchen knife and closed the door again. Zhao Bin took the kitchen knife and took advantage of the situation to perform a night battle hidden knife style on Wang Wu.
Zhao Bin took out the ice cubes from the small basin, chopped off a small half with a knife, and then broke it into small pieces with great effort.
Zhao Bin picked up a piece and said to Ling'er: "Open your mouth.
Ling'er obediently opened her mouth, took the ice in her mouth, and then sucked on it.
Zhao Bin asked: "Is it delicious?"
Ling'er pouted and said vaguely: "Mother!"
Everyone had a dark look on their faces: "Mother?"
Ling'er readjusted her tongue and said: "Cool"
"Ha ha ha ha"
"Come on, let's try it all"
Everyone picked up a small piece and put it in their mouths
"It's so cool, Your Majesty," Xiao Chu was surprised.
"It's cool. It's the best to eat ice cubes when it's hot."
"Go get a wooden bucket, put this big piece into the water, and give it to the brothers on the courtyard wall to quench their thirst." Zhao Bin said, pointing to the large piece of ice left on the table.
"I thank the prince on behalf of my brothers!" After saying this, Xiao Chu put the ice cubes back into the small basin and went to find the wooden bucket to fetch water.
"Slave, please go and get a glass of ice water for the prince," Xing'er said with a smile.
"No need, you can share the rest to relieve the heat. Now that we have this method of making ice, we will have plenty of ice to eat in the future," Zhao Bin said,
"Chunxi, go back and find another pot, melt the ice cubes and boil them dry. The ground frost inside will reappear. See if you can reuse it."
"It's your lord, I'll take care of it soon." Chunxi replied happily.
"In addition, this matter must not be leaked. Only a few people in the house know about it. This is a major matter that will affect our money next summer. If anyone dares to leak it, we will not be lenient."
That night, Cui'er and Ling'er, who worshiped the gods, came to Zhao Bin's room. How should I say, the gods didn't look at them and met a big tiger.
The next day, the two maids walked out of the room with blushing faces. They met Wang Wu along the way. Wang Wu asked: Ling'er, Cui'er, did you see the gods last night?
Unexpectedly, the two of them walked straight towards their room with their heads down without raising their heads, and their walking posture was a little weird.
Wang Wu looked at the two people leaving with a blank look on his face.
The two returned to the room. Xing'er was cleaning up the room. Xing'er said, "My lord, have you gotten up?"
The two stood at the door in a daze, without replying. Xing'er saw the shy expressions on their faces and joked with a smile: "Why, I didn't see the gods."
"Sister Xing'er... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he is bullying others," Ling'er said with aggrieved look on her face.
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't you yourselves know how the prince treats you? Is there any master who treats his servants so easy-going?" Xing'er said angrily.
"But your lord..." Ling'er couldn't open her mouth halfway through her words.
Seeing this, Xing'er pursed her lips and chuckled: "We are the prince's people. The prince has grown up and is a man. Men naturally have things that men want to do. Maybe in the future, I will have to call you princess." .”
Cui'er's face turned red with embarrassment and said, "Sister Xing'er, stop talking, I'm so embarrassed."
After all, Xing'er is older, even one year older than Zhao Bin, and has stayed in the palace the longest, so how could she not see such things.
"Okay, now that I have become the prince's wife, I will serve him even more carefully from now on. You guys can rest for a while while I go to help the prince change his clothes and wash up." After saying that, Xing'er left the room.
Carrying the washbasin, she came to Zhao Bin's room and saw Zhao Bin still lying on the bed behind the curtain. Myolie didn't say anything, put down the washbasin, walked straight over, and gently rolled up the curtain.
Seeing Zhao Bin looking at her with his eyes open, Xing'er smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up. My servant will help you change your clothes."
"Okay!" Zhao Bin replied with a smile.
Myolie took out a new outfit from the closet and came to the bed to help Zhao Bin change. Halfway through, Zhao Bin hugged Myolie into his arms and teased: Myolie smells so good.
Xing'er gently pushed Zhao Bin's hand away, continued to help him tie his belt, and said: Didn't the prince have enough fun last night? Otherwise, I'll call them both back.
"They are them, and you are you. They are different. This website cannot favor one over the other." He then reached out to hug Xing'er's slender waist.
"Okay, Your Majesty, don't make any more trouble. There will be plenty of time in the future. The maidservant belongs to His Majesty. He can do whatever he wants whenever he wants. But don't you have to go out of the city today? Mr. Cao came to the palace early in the morning to wait for you. "
"Okay, let's take a sip then," he said, regardless of whether Xing'er agreed or not, and kissed Xing'er's forehead lightly. Xing'er didn't resist at all.
