Chapter 168: Iced Herbal Tea

Lin Xueer, Zhongli Ruoshui's personal maid, and her servants brought two basins of water, one large and one small, and placed them on the table.

Except for Amu, everyone looked at Li Chenan.

Li Chenan picked up the jar and smelled it. The smell was very strong, and it was undoubtedly saltpeter powder.

After thinking for a while, he said to Lin Xueer again: "Didn't the kitchen prepare herbal tea? Bring all the herbal tea."

"oh!"

Lin Xueer turned around and left with questions on her head. Zhongli Ruoshui asked curiously: "What...are you doing?"

"Hey, I'll conjure up a basin of ice for you!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was startled, and his beautiful big eyes immediately looked at Li Chenan, "Bing?"

"You want to conjure up a basin of ice this summer?"

"Yes, you can witness this miracle after a while!"

Don't say that Zhongli Ruoshui doesn't believe it, everyone here doesn't believe it, even Amu is no exception.

He was still looking at the lotus pond.

In fact, his eyes have been falling on the lotus in the lotus pond.

The lotus has not yet fully bloomed, but it is standing gracefully in the lake. In his eyes, the lotus is as beautiful as Zhongli Ruoyu.

Hearing Li Chenan's words, he still didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little, wondering if Li Chenan wanted to use this method to further gain Zhongli Ruoshui's favor?

Is this a way to please a woman?

However, this is clearly impossible!

But he vowed to say so.

How could he fulfill this lie?

Who gave him the courage to talk this nonsense?

Xiong Da grinned innocently at this time and scratched his head, "Master, if you say you can conjure a flower... I think it's possible, I think."

"You said you could conjure a basin of ice..."

He looked up at the blazing sun in the sky,

"If you really create a basin of ice, you will be a god in the sky. If you have any orders from now on, even if you have to go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire, I will do it without hesitation!"

"You said this, you can't go back on it!"

Xiong Da hammered his chest, "If I go back on my word, Xiong Da will be a bear!"

"Okay, just wait and see!"

After a while, Lin Xueer brought a can of herbal tea.

Li Chenan put the small basin into the big basin, then put the herbal tea jar into the small basin, and then poured the saltpeter powder in the jar into the big basin of water in full view of everyone.

After a few breaths, Zhongli Ruoshui and others were shocked to see smoke rising from the basin!

The smoke became thicker and thicker, and as the smoke rose, the hot air seemed to become a little cooler.

Su Muxin raised her head and looked at Li Chenan in disbelief: "Why is this happening?"

"When this thing comes into contact with water, it will absorb a lot of heat, so the temperature of the surrounding air will drop. When low temperature and high temperature meet, they will condense into small water droplets, which is the smoke you see."

"After a while you will see the water in the basin turn into ice!"

Amu also keenly felt the chill at this moment.

He turned around in shock, looked at the smoke on the basin, then looked at Li Chenan, and suddenly realized that this kid was a little mysterious.

He seems to really be able to conjure ice!

It seemed a bit interesting to follow him.

This magical phenomenon attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, even Zhongli Ruoshui seemed to have forgotten the big trouble Li Chenan was about to face at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She stared at the basin of this size unblinkingly, suddenly feeling that Li Chenan was even more mysterious, thinking that if he really conjured ice——

How comfortable would it be if there was ice to cool down this hot day?

Looking at the entire Ning Kingdom, except for the emperor, I am afraid that no other noble concubine can enjoy the comfort brought by ice in such a hot weather.

Without it, storing ice cubes would be too difficult.

The royal family would ask the Ministry of Works to recruit civilians to harvest ice every winter. It is said that the ice cubes were stored in an ice cellar somewhere in the harem.

However, the amount of storage is always limited. In the hot summer season, a lot of ice cubes in the ice cellar melt.

So grandpa said that even the emperor cannot enjoy this thing without restraint.

Now Li Chenan can actually create ice out of thin air...

If you give it to grandpa and grandma, if you put two basins of ice like this in their room... I'm afraid they will smile and like Li Chenan even more!

I’ll go to the Hou Mansion after a while!

Bring this basin of ice!

I have to tell my grandma about this imperial edict from the emperor. If anything goes wrong with Li Chenan during the Mid-Autumn Festival, if the Marquis Dingguo Mansion has made arrangements, Li Chenan will be able to save the day!

Li Chenan just wanted to drink a cup of herbal tea at this moment, but he didn't expect that Zhongli Ruoshui had already thought about it a lot.

An hour passed like this, and the mist on the basin gradually dissipated. Everyone's eyes fell on the small basin, and everyone was stunned——

The water in the small basin really turned into ice!

That jar of herbal tea is frozen in the small basin!

The ice is crystal clear under the sunlight and reflects dazzling light!

"It's done!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was overjoyed. She clapped her little hands and jumped up, "You really turned into ice! You are so amazing!"

Except Amu, everyone is cheering at this moment!

They witnessed a miracle and saw with their own eyes this great initiative of Li Chenan

Amu's Adam's apple twitched twice, his expression was still cool, but he was also surprised inside.

At this moment, several more people walked into the yard.

At the front is a woman wearing an exquisite long skirt. Behind her are her maids. Some are holding umbrellas and others are fanning.

She is Zhongli Ruoshui’s mother, Mrs. Zhongli Rong Yiyin!

She heard the cheers in the pavilion.

She frowned, looked up, and uttered two words: "Absurd!"

She quickened her pace and arrived at the pavilion. Only then did Li Chenan and others notice her arrival.

There was sudden silence.

"How dignified!"

Rong Yiyin scolded, "What does it look like when men and women gather here?"

"My servants don't have any rules. This is the main courtyard of the young lady. Can you servants come in at will?!"

"And you...!"

She looked at Li Chenan and was about to give him a lesson, but she didn't expect Zhongli Ruoshui to speak.

“Mom, it’s grandma’s wish for Chen An to live here!”

"Besides, they came here at my invitation!"

"By the way, this hot goddess is probably thirsty when she comes here. My daughter, please try this freshly made ice..."

She looked at Li Chenan, "What is this called?"

Li Chenan grinned: "Iced herbal tea."

"Yes, yes, iced herbal tea, mother, you try it first!"

Saying this, Zhongli Ruoshui picked up the jar that had been taken out, got a bowl of herbal tea, and handed it to her mother.

Rong Yiyin had already seen the large and small basins on the table, and naturally also saw the small basin of ice...

Doubts suddenly arose in her heart, because at this time of year, this thing could only be seen in the palace!

Could it be that the daughter brought her out of the palace?

Zhongli Ruoshui seemed to see her doubts and smiled with pride, "This is what Chen An just conjured up. The bowl in your hand is very cold. Mom, you taste it first. He said it can clear away heat and relieve pain."

heat!"

Rong Yiyin was suddenly shocked. She then realized that the bowl she was holding was very cold. This feeling was very comfortable, but this Li Chenan...how could he make ice in this summer?

She took a sip of the iced herbal tea, and a refreshing icy taste flowed down her throat. It seemed that the heat in her body was gone in an instant, and the sweat all over her body seemed to have stopped instantly.

This feeling is really comfortable!

So, she drank up the bowl of herbal tea, seemingly still wanting to finish it.

She glared at Li Chenan and then looked at Zhongli Ruoshui, "Your grandma asked you to come over!"

"Okay, then I'll take this herbal tea and the ice basin with me!"
