Chapter 41 Ice

"The emperor went to Liu Yuexuan today." Baoli raised her eyes to look at Concubine Xian and said in a low voice, "But I just sat for a while and then left."

"I don't know what the empress is interested in today, but she is enjoying dancing and listening to music in the imperial garden." Bao Li silently lowered her head and said, "It's a coincidence that the emperor saw it, and the result can be imagined. Went to the queen's palace."

Concubine Xian frowned upon hearing this, but didn't react too much.

Baoli was a little helpless, she poured tea for Concubine Xian and asked: "Your Majesty, don't you care at all? It's not easy to mess with slaves looking at the queen. There are endless ways to compete for favor, and I don't know where I learned it from."

Concubine Xian frowned slightly and looked at Bao Li and said, "I didn't think you talked so much before."

Baoli's expression tightened and she lowered her head silently. Isn't she worried for the master?

Seeing that the newcomers have entered the palace, and the concubine Xian is still so non-competitive, how can she not be in a hurry?

"The talent show is such a big event, your majesty has handled it so well, the emperor doesn't even have a reward for it." Bao Li hummed twice as if a little dissatisfied.

"You can't see anything with your eyes? The emperor asked Mr. Wang to send a lot of books and paintings, and I like them very much." Concubine Xian glanced at Baoli and said, "Stop talking nonsense here."

"Your Majesty, you know that this is not what this servant is talking about..." What kind of reward is not rewarded, she is looking forward to the emperor coming to see the empress!
"Go down." Concubine Xian lost interest in talking, and waved her hand to let Baoli go down.

She has said these words of persuasion since she entered the palace, but her own concubine didn't care at all. Originally, no one was favored by the concubine in the palace, and the emperor never favored anyone. It's different now, the difference between the emperor and the empress can be clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Even Concubine De was moved, but her own mother was still so calm.

The heat of summer is approaching quietly, and there are countless ice cubes allocated to each palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you want to live better, you have to think of ways to please the gang of eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yi Zhaorong looked at that The ice cubes that came could melt directly after shaking twice, and I immediately understood my situation.

"What kind of things are these!" Hemerocallis angrily kicked the ice bucket filled with ice cubes, if it was delivered later, it would become ice water!

"The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs usually have their eyes set high, but now they are oppressing Zhaorong." Daylily rolled up his sleeves and said, "I have to reason with them!"

"Hey!" Yi Zhaorong quickly grabbed the day lilies, and said with a bit of a wry smile, "Don't stand up for such a small matter. Although it's a little hot, it's still bearable."

"It's only the beginning of June and it's so hot, what can we do in the future?" Hemerocallis a little distressed, this summer seems to be particularly sunny, and dare not go under the sun, Yi Zhaorong is afraid of the heat and can't sleep well at night, so she just Looking forward to the delivery of ice cubes to dissipate the heat.

That's great, sent all these things, did you realize that Yi Zhaorong couldn't get the emperor's favor, and started to neglect it?
Yi Zhaorong shook his fan and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, this ice has been delivered anyway, it is also good to chill some melons and fruits, if you delay for a while, there will be nothing left."

Hemerocallis groaned immediately when he heard the words, and hurriedly removed it, for fear that it would be wasted.

It's not easy in Liuyuexuan, and it's even more difficult in other palaces. Only a few concubines are barely able to do it. As for Fengwu Palace...

"Why did Mr. Wu send the ice mirror again?" Suyun raised his eyebrows looking at the ice brought by Wu Ping's life, and said with a smile: "This year, the ice in the palace is so rich?"

"Look at what you said, Sister Suyun, can you still get the ice slaves that the empress wants to use?" Wu Pingsheng bowed and said with a shy smile, "Even if there are no slaves, I have to change them for you."

The smile on Suyun's face deepened when he heard this, and while beckoning people to come in, he said with a smile: "Mr. Wu has a heart, and the empress is most afraid of heat, so I can feel at ease now."

Wu Pingsheng lowered his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as the Queen has a word, the servant will send someone to bring you the ice mirror!"

I don't know how many people were red-eyed by the boxes of ice that were transported to Fengwu Palace.

Si Ning Pond is really happy. I thought it would be hard to live without air-conditioning in this damn place, but I didn't expect that it would be much cooler than the air-conditioning if it was surrounded by Bingjian!

Even the servants in the Fengwu Palace were touched, and they tried their best to get closer to the main hall, blowing the cool breeze coming out of the hall.

The sun was very hot at noon, and just as Si Ning Chi had finished his lunch and was about to take a nap, something serious happened in the palace.

"Dead?" Si Ningchi woke up from his doze, looked at Su Yongde in astonishment and frowned and asked, "Why so suddenly..."

"A talented man who has just entered the palace, his father was only a small county magistrate, and he died quietly after entering the palace, so he died suddenly." Su Yongde also looked sad.

"It's not that simple, let people go and have a look." Si Ningchi's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just as Su Yongde got down to take a look, he looked up and saw the emperor coming, and the ones following the emperor were none other than Concubine De and Concubine Rong.

Zhao Zongheng's complexion was not good, he strode into Fengwu Palace and saw that he didn't look like he was here for dinner, he entered the hall, frowned, looked around at the ice mirrors placed around the hall, turned around and sat down on the main seat.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Si Ningchi bowed to salute.

"I've met the Empress." Concubine De and Concubine Rong also bowed to Si Ningchi calmly, looking at the expressions on their faces, they looked confident, as if they had a handle on her.

Si Ningchi glanced at Concubine De and then looked at Zhao Zongheng, slightly bent his lips and said with a smile: "Why did the emperor come here suddenly?"

Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and said: "If I don't come, I don't know that the queen is so expensive, and the ice used is half a ton more than me."

Si Ningchi: "..."

I understand, this is Xingshi's questioning.

Concubine De stood on one side and said at the right time: "Your Majesty, do you know that a talented person died of shock due to the heat?"

"If you want to come to the empress, you don't care even if you know." Concubine De lowered her head, her face was full of sadness and regret and said in a low voice: "She is only 15 years old, just the right age."

"There are a lot of ice in the palace, and my concubine went to ask about it. This year's ice supply is so difficult because Fengwu Palace needs too much ice, and I can't distribute it elsewhere." Concubine De pretended to wipe her tears and said : "If it wasn't for the empress's strong request to increase the ice, how could the ice cubes of the concubines below be reduced, and in the end they would be suffocated to death by the heat."

 I'm going to drive home tomorrow, I'm going to rest early today, I'm too tired from the long journey, so I don't dare to delay, that's all for today!By the way, please ask for a recommendation ticket, it’s so rare! ! !It's like a stand-alone!What if there is no motivation!
