Chapter 286 Saltpeter Ice Making
The ice has not been delivered today. Leng Luoyue is leaning on the Arhat's bed, fanning the gauze fan in her hand. The little cat is untying the nine-ring chain to blow the wild wind next to her mother.

"Why hasn't the ice been delivered today?" Leng Luoyue asked, frowning and irritated due to the heat.

Caiwei also took a big cattail leaf fan to fan the empress and the young prince, and said, "Chengfan has already gone to the ice bank to ask."

The daily ice is delivered by the ice house every morning, but it is already noon and it has not been delivered yet.

I don’t know what happened on this day this year. It snows heavily in the winter and rains heavily in the rainy season. It has not rained since June, and the weather is getting hotter every day.

I couldn't even take a nap without leaving the ice in the afternoon.

As soon as Caiwei finished speaking, Chengfan came in with his head lowered.

When Caiwei saw him returning empty-handed, she asked, "Where's Bing?"

Chengfan frowned and replied: "The people in the ice house said what Concubine Li said, the hottest time of this year has not come yet! There is not much ice in the ice house. I am afraid that it will be used up now and there will be no ice when the weather is hot. If you use it, ice will not be provided to the harem in June, and ice will be provided to each palace in July."

"Is there no ice in all the palaces?" Leng Luoyue looked at Chengfan and asked.

"The ice in Longxiang Palace and Yunxiang Palace is constant throughout the day, which is not the case in other palaces."

Caiwei complained in a low voice: "It's been freezing all day in the Queen Mother's palace, but we have children in the palace! We didn't even give them a pot. On such a hot day, the little prince should have prickly heat."

Lengxiang Palace needs ice every day. It was delivered well before, but it suddenly stopped today. Caiwei always has the feeling that Concubine Li did it on purpose.
Targeting them at Lengxiang Palace, the feeling of ice was broken.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it. Isn't it just ice? It's not like I can't do it myself." Leng Luoyue curled her lips indifferently and smiled.

"My dear, do you know how to make ice cream?" Caiwei asked in surprise.

Chengfan also raised his head and said with surprise and confusion: "Isn't this ice all frozen in winter? What should we do in summer?"

Leng Luoyue shook her fan, raised her chin proudly and said, "As long as there is nothing you can't think of, there is nothing I can't do. Go and get me some saltpeter, and I will take you to witness the miracle."

Chengfan nodded, left Lenghxiang Palace, and went to Taiyuan Hospital.

Saltpeter can be used as medicine, so there is saltpeter in Taiyuan Hospital.

The people from the Taiyuan Hospital knew that Concubine Leng wanted saltpeter, so they didn't hesitate. They gave a large bag and asked what it was for.
Chengfan said that the empress wanted to use saltpeter to make ice, which aroused the curiosity of the imperial doctors.They only knew that saltpeter could be used as medicine, but they did not know that it could also be used to make ice.

Imperial Physician Lin followed Chengfan to Lengxiang Palace under the pretext of asking Prince Xiao for a safe pulse. In fact, he just wanted to see how the saltpeter was made into ice.

Doctor Lin didn't leave even after taking Ping An's pulse from Xiaomao. He looked at a basin of water with saltpeter in it, slowly turning into ice.

"It's so simple?" Doctor Lin's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect that the ice could be made so easily.

Leng Luoyue touched the ice cube in Leng's hand and said, "It's that simple. The ice made this way is edible!"

"I learned it, I learned it." Doctor Lin kept nodding his head.

The hospital has been very hot these days, but unlike the ladies in the palace who can use ice, they all fan themselves.

Saltpeter can be turned into ice so easily, so what else are they trying to do?In winter, you don’t have to worry about building a cellar to store ice. You can just store some saltpeter and put it in the water, right?

When Dr. Lin returned to Tai Hospital, he also made several basins of ice and placed them in the room, which immediately made it much cooler.

Now that they can make their own ice, the people in Lenghsiang Palace no longer need to send ice from the ice bank, and they can use a lot of ice.This ice is not only used by Leng Luoyue and Xiaomao'er, but also by the maids of Lengxiang Palace. Put a basin of ice in the room, and you no longer have to worry about being woken up by the heat at night.

That afternoon, Qiu Feng met Shui'er, the little sister who had been transferred to Ding Shuyi's palace.

The two of them were sitting in the pavilion next to the rockery. Shui'er was fanning himself with a handkerchief and said, "God doesn't know what's going on. It hasn't rained for more than 20 days, and the flowers in the imperial garden are all wilting. I didn't know what happened yesterday. I was woken up by the heat again at night and sat on the porch for a long time!"

Qiu Feng nodded and said, "It's been really hot lately."

"Tell me, why did you change your name? Qiu Feng Qiu Feng, it sounds like a man. It used to be called Cuihua!" Shui'er said with some disgust.

The corners of Qiu Feng's eyes twitched and he said: "I think Qiu Feng sounds pretty good. Qiu Feng is the maple leaf in autumn. Our queen said that one leaf can tell the autumn leaves, and that is the maple leaf."

Shui'er didn't understand the saying that autumn can be known with one leaf, and autumn can be known with two leaves. She only said: "I think green flowers sound nice."

"In the past two days, Concubine Li has cut off the ice in the harem. Our concubine has been very hot. She makes us fan ourselves every day, and my hands have become soft." After complaining, Shui'er looked at Qiu Feng and asked, "Your hands should It’s also very soft!”

Qiu Feng shook his head: "Our queen doesn't need anyone to fan her."

"Aren't you ladies afraid of the heat?" If you don't fan yourself today, who can bear it?
"There are ice in every room in our Lengxiang Palace! They are also placed in the room where we sleep, and it is not hot at all at night." Qiu Feng said with some pride, thinking that she could become a maid of Lengxiang Palace. That's great.

Sister Caiwei often makes delicious food and gives it to them. Concubine Leng is also kind. There should be no better place in this palace than Lengxiang Palace.

Shui'er looked at Qiu Feng with envy, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. She thought to herself, this favored concubine is good, and the palace maids who follow her can also use ice, but their queens don't even need ice. Woolen cloth!
"Cuihua, tell me how your mother-in-law seduce the emperor! How can she seduce the emperor and only favor her?"

Qiu Feng frowned displeased and said, "Our queen has never seduced the emperor." When the emperor came, the queen's behavior was very decent and not attentive.

Moreover, she had a feeling that the empress did not want the emperor to go to Lenghxiang Palace. The emperor had not been to Lenghxiang Palace for several days. The empress looked at ease and was not worried at all!
"Really?" I didn't believe it.Shui'er's face was full of disbelief, and she felt in her heart that Qiu Feng no longer regarded her as a good sister.

"real."

"There are many people in the palace who say that your mother-in-law is a demon concubine who knows magic, so she can bewitch the emperor."

"They are talking nonsense. My mother-in-law is just born beautiful." Qiu Feng said angrily, "Those who say those things are all jealous of my mother-in-law."

I didn't look good and the emperor didn't like me, so I made random arrangements for their wives.

"But your mother-in-law was not that good-looking before, nor was she so liked by the emperor. But now she can charm the emperor. What else can she do if she doesn't know magic?" Seeing that Qiu Feng was angry, Shui'er felt a little bit happy in her heart. , so he raised the bar with more vigor.

"That's because our mother-in-law knows how to take care of herself. She said that there are no ugly women, only lazy women. She often uses a paste mixed with milk, flour and egg white to apply on her face. After Sister Chunyu applied it on her face, her face turned white! No! I told you, I'm going back to work as an errand." Qiu Feng felt that Shui'er was a bit annoying today, and nothing she said she liked to hear. After saying that, she walked out of the pavilion without waiting for Shui'er to say anything.

"Milk, flour, egg white..." Shui'er kept these three things in mind.If I tell Concubine Leng how to become beautiful, she might even get a reward from Empress Shuyi!
The Lengxiang Palace has to tell Empress Shuyi about the fact that even the maids use ice.
