Kangxi gave the eldest brother two concubines from the Han army flag: Guan and Wang. This was also the result of the eldest brother's hard work. As a rule, the eldest brother should have a concubine, no matter how unlucky he is, he should have a concubine.
, but the eldest brother just thought that the eldest son was the legitimate son, and wanted to give birth to Kangxi's eldest son and legitimate grandson before the prince married Fujin. For this, he and Concubine Hui had a quarrel, but the eldest brother won.
, Concubine Hui is sulking.
Kangxi also gave the crown prince a concubine, Li Jia, the daughter of Captain Shudeku of Qingche. With such a background, she was close to being a legitimate concubine for other princes! This shows how much Kangxi favored the crown prince!
Then the marriage was granted to the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother. Dong E, the daughter of Dutong Pengchun, granted the third elder brother Yinzhi as the direct Fujin, and they were married at the end of the year; Ulanara, the daughter of the internal minister Fei Yanggu, granted the fourth elder brother Yinzhi
Zhen is the direct descendant of Fujin and will be married in the spring of next year.
The talent show has come to an end, and the days are gradually getting hotter. The Forbidden City is a square place, but it is much hotter and muggier than the imperial palace. Wen Xi misses the days of Qiu Wu Palace.
In his hand, he was waving an ivory-handled fan with gold embroidered fish and lotus leaves, which brought a little coolness. There were also enough ice basins in the palace. The gentle people were in high spirits during happy events. Last night, while Kangxi was not there,
Come, get into the space, spend five hours a night, which is fifteen hours in space time, and finally break through the third level and reach the fourth level of alchemy formation. The originally liquid spiritual energy in the Dantian is finally compressed into a solid
Yes, there is a small prototype object floating in the Dantian. Unfortunately, it feels like a small water balloon, and it seems that it will burst when poked.
The elixir is also called a fake elixir. It looks solid, but in fact the elixir is filled with thick liquid. The next thing to do is to continuously refine and concentrate it to strive for the next level and become a real elixir.

"The emperor ordered someone to send a bowl of cool things to the master to relieve the heat!" Zhu'er smiled and walked in quickly, holding a red peony food box in his hand. The cold air hit his nose, and when he opened it, there were ice cubes carved into flower shapes.
A bowl of shaved ice chilled!
Shaved ice?! Wen Xi blinked hard, yes. It must be shaved ice, but very finely chopped shaved ice, orange with a lime flavor, which made Wen Xi drool!
Zhu'er smiled and said: "This ice bowl was presented to the emperor by my father-in-law. After the emperor used it, he asked for a bowl to be sent to the master!"
There was also shaved ice in this era, but it was called an ice bowl. Put some crushed ice at the bottom of the bowl, pour in milk, and add almonds, walnut kernels, peaches, melons, etc. It was used for drinking. It is liquid, and the crushed ice inside is also
The ice is crushed and added by hand. The ice should not be too small, otherwise it will melt quickly, but it is also excellent for relieving the heat.
But the "ice bowl" in front of me is full of finely crushed ice foam. The foam is fine and even. It cannot be knocked out by hand. It must have been made with some kind of tool! Linge donated it? Wen Xi thought about it with her toes.
I also know it’s something Ru Yan made!
But you're welcome. You can't keep this thing for a long time, otherwise it will melt. I picked up the cold and refreshing small bowl with colorful enamel lotus patterns and ate it with a small spoon. The taste was sour and authentic, but
Compared with the strawberry smoothies, mango smoothies, and watermelon smoothies that Wen Xi often ate in later generations, they were still a bit cruder. In this era, they were considered extremely rare things.
Seeing that Wen Xi was enjoying the meal, Zhu'er said, "Da Ge Ge is really ingenious and can make such good things! My master's appetite is not good in summer, so he should eat something sour and cool."
After Wen Xi finished eating the ice bowl, she asked: "Ruyan, will she... let Lin Ge be presented to the emperor?"
Zhu'er snorted and said, "My Fourth Brother gave me a bowl, but it's just a lotus seed and lily ice bowl."
Wen Xi couldn't help but smile. Ruyan found out clearly about Si Age's preferences. Yinzhen didn't like things that were too sweet or too sour. Lotus seeds and lilies? This has an unusual meaning. Kangxi even proposed marriage, but she still didn't give up.
?
Zhu'er added: "My father-in-law also asked his servants to send a message, saying that Da Gege wants to come to the palace to pay his respects to you."
While talking, Yu Ludai came back, "Eniang——" she threw herself into Wenxi's arms happily, "Bier's handwriting was good today, and the fourth brother gave Bier a particularly delicious ice bowl! Bi'erniang's dining room
It’s delicious!”
Yinzhen really had nothing to say to Yuludai. Although he was a little stricter, as Yuludai's writing gradually became regular, Yinzhen's serious iceberg face finally eased. As long as Yuludai writes well, he can finish ten large characters.
, Yinzhen asked Mrs. Song to make snacks for Yuludai. The lotus seed and lily ice bowl must have all gone into Yuludai’s stomach!
With a look of helpless doting on her face, Wen Ru poked Yu Ludai's forehead: "You're welcome! You should let your fourth brother have a taste too!"
Yu Ludai stuck out his tongue and said, "Fourth brother said that he doesn't like to eat cold things!"
In the middle of summer, it’s hot and stuffy at noon. The treatment at my brother’s house is far inferior to that of Chengqian Palace. The ice basin is not enough to drive away all the stuffy heat. How can you not like to eat cold things? According to the temperature
As far as Xi knows, Si Age also eats a bowl of mung bean ice bowl every day to relieve the heat. Most of the shaved ice is made of ice. In order to prevent it from melting, it takes several times the amount of ice cubes to cool it. Naturally, it is better than ordinary ice bowls.
It is more refreshing and delicious.
The fourth elder brother really had nothing to say to Yu Ludai, and Wen Xi also agreed with his affection, and it was not in vain that she had chosen the Uranala clan for Yinzhen to be such a good fortune.
Wen Xi turned around and ordered: "Go and ask the dining room to make two bowls of ice bowl, one bowl of mung bean and lily ice bowl, and one bowl of peach ice bowl. Add more ice and keep it chilled along the way. Send it to the fourth brother and the fourth brother.
"Tenth elder brother." When Wen Xi is giving something away, he must send two copies, otherwise the tenth elder brother will definitely make a fuss when he knows that he doesn't have a share.
Yu Ludai's mouth was drooling, "Mom, Bi'er also wants to eat! Everything you eat is an ice bowl!"
Which kind of thing, where can Wenxi know how to do it? It must have been polished by Ruyan with some kind of tool. Although the principle is not complicated, Wenxi is not good at tools and couldn't fiddle with it. He could only pinch Yuludai's face.
: "I have already eaten a bowl. You are not allowed to eat today! Otherwise, you will get a bad stomach!"
Yu Ludai pouted unhappily, "Brother Ten eats four or five bowls of ice bowls a day! He doesn't have a bad stomach!"
Wen Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Then because he is fat, do you want to be as fat as him?!" Wen Xi was also helpless about the appetite of the tenth brother. He simply had a steel-like stomach. No matter how much he ate,
No diarrhea!
Yu Ludai thought about the size of Brother Ten, and then thought about the delicious ice bowl, but still refused the temptation of the latter, pinched his sleeves, and said very depressedly: "Then E Niang will give Yu Ludai tomorrow
Make an ice bowl! It should be as delicious as the one I had at Fourth Brother’s place!"
Ruyan's original intention was to seduce the fourth brother's stomach, but she didn't expect to seduce Yuludai's stomach. However, her goal was achieved, and Wenxi could only summon her to the palace. Yuludai's persistence made her
Even Wen Xi has a headache.
Wen Xi is now the imperial concubine and has the responsibility of being in charge of the Sixth Palace. It is extremely simple to summon someone to come in. She was afraid that Ruyan would cause trouble, so she specifically asked E Niang to bring Ruyan into the palace.
When Ruyan entered the palace, the accompanying maid also brought a heavy package. Shu Shujueluo laughed and said: "Although this child is a little thick-skinned, he is still filial after all. He has made a weird-looking thing that can break ice cubes."
To pieces!"
Ruyan personally held the ugly iron thing and introduced: "Auntie, this is an ice shaver. The ice bowl is made of this thing! Just put the ice cubes into this mouth and then shake it by hand.
Got it!"
It was still a hand-operated shaved ice machine. She hummed softly, looking like she didn't care much, and said, "I'll ask the manufacturing office to make a few more tomorrow and send one to each palace."
When Wen Xi said this, Ruyan, who claimed to be the "inventor", was naturally a little unhappy. She felt that her patent had been infringed upon, and she probably wanted to make a fortune from this.
But Shu Shujue Luo agreed very much and said: "What the empress said is true!" Then he ordered: "If you want to make a few ice bowls later, I will send this to the manufacturing office so that the masters can
They still do it.” Shu Shu feels that Luo’s patent infringement is even more thorough!
Ruyan could only accept the decision gloomily, and went to the dining room to make ice bowls with her "ice shaver" in hand.
Ru Yan must be used to it, and her hands and feet are fast. Within two quarters of an hour, she served two cups of shaved ice in eggshell porcelain peony-patterned goblets from Chengqian Palace. Shu Shujue Luo's cup was a cup of watermelon ice, which was warm.
The creamy one is the sweet and sour strawberry ice.
Wen Xi was stuttering while commenting: "It's still a bit rough. It would be better if it could be finer."
Shu Shujueluo also said: "It's just too cold. You can only eat one cup a day, otherwise the cold will cause stomach problems."
Ruyan had a drooped face, and she didn't know what she was muttering in her stomach. Naturally, Wenxi wanted to beat her up a bit. After all, she was her niece, and Wenxi would always give her a good family. Ruyan could not continue to miss her fourth elder brother.
Already.
Sure enough, the goblet is better, unlike the bowl, which can be accidentally dropped if the palace maid holds it up to freeze her hands. Moreover, the goblet is small, beautiful, and very delicate.
Wen Xi thought of Concubine Yi's request, and it was indeed a compliment to Ruyan, so she said, "Make two bowls of ice bowls and send them to Yikun Palace yourself. Concubine Yi also likes this."
After sending Ruyan away, Shu Shujue Luo looked at Wenxi with a smile on her face and said, "The fifth elder brother is also twelve years old... The queen has put a lot of thought into Ruyan."
Wen Xi smiled softly and said, "Eniang, please teach Ru Yan more. The fifth elder brother has a very good character."
Shu Shujue Luo Shi nodded and said: "I thought it would be good to be matched with a clan, but I didn't expect this frizzy girl to be so lucky."
Wenxi is just a matter of convenience. Although Kangxi had many elder brothers, those in front of him were only a few who were outside of Kowloon's fight for the throne. The fifth elder brother was someone who had a stable life. He could follow him.
It is indeed a great blessing! She was gentle but felt uneasy in her heart, saying: "She has already put great blessings on her lips. I hope she won't turn them away." If she is really good at it, Niu Hulu will definitely do it.
Record her name in the name of Guarjia, the legitimate wife of Duke Chengen, and make Ruyan the eldest daughter of Linge. Not everyone has such an opportunity. (To be continued. If you like this work,
