The emperor knew Suo Qing's personality very well, and believed that he was framed by someone, and he was slow to make a decision. Although the emperor has the power to kill and make decisions, he does not kill people and exile people casually. Such a person will not only have a ruined reputation in his life, but will also be connected to his relatives. In the end, the prince gave the emperor an idea and sent Suo Qing to the palace as a personal soldier. This not only derogates Suo Qing, but also does not implicate Suo Qing's family. From the imperial guard to the personal soldier, just like an officer demoted to a soldier, the degree of punishment is also very severe. But compared to killing the head, compared to exile, isn't that much lighter?

So Suo Qing was sent to the Rui Wangfu for "detention". After a long time, no one noticed. The people who harmed him wanted to chill him, and when he saw that the emperor refused to kill him or exile him, and put him in the ranks of his own soldiers, he couldn't do anything. Who is Lord Rui? The emperor's savior! Who has a few heads and runs to the Rui Palace? Slowly forget about this person.

However, Suo Qing is a capable and intelligent person, and after a year of being a personal soldier, he stood out, and his excellence in all aspects appeared. The first is superior in martial arts, followed by superior character, and then chivalrous heart, no matter who it is, as long as he can help, he will reach out to help. He was loved and loved by all the pro-soldier brothers, and was valued by the prince, and became the leader of the pro-soldiers in the third year of entering the palace.

His ability to endure hardships is very prominent, let's just say that making ice cream popsicles, he is not very tired, but he deals with milk, water, and sugar all day long, and he has to go in and out of the ice cellar, cold and hot for a while. If you don't get it right, it's slimy, and you may also get a cold and fever. Ice cream is delicious, but it's not easy for people who make ice cream.

Under Suo Qing's leadership, the entire cold drink workshop was clean, there was no water all over the ground, no milk sprinkled on the road, no sugar sticking everywhere, and not a single fly or cockroach. Refreshing and methodical.

After repeated trials and trials, the prince and Fu Jin sent two hundred representative popsicles, ice creams, and ice creams (cream ice cream, three-color ice cream) to the emperor and the consul's mansion respectively in incubators made by their own carpenters.

Rao is the emperor and queen mother, who have seen the world and eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies and jade delicacies, have never eaten such delicious food. After eating, there was a small earthquake. Needless to say, the masters and subordinates of the mansion have tasted it, and no one does not admire the power of the "uncle" prince, who actually made such a delicious delicacy, or made the milk of his own mansion.

When the prince and Fu Jin calmly put the cold drink box in front of the Queen Mother, they said without exaggeration: "Queen Mother, this is the ice fruit that Fu Jin of the Chen family in our house learned from a foreign land, and I have made a few things for you and the emperor to taste." If you think it's delicious, we'll sell it as a summer freeze.

"Oh? Is this a new kind of ice fruit that you made? Surely you've eaten it? How does it taste? ”

"Then let's try our snow goge first, shall we?"

The Queen Mother knew that the prince and Fujin were asking Xue'er to test the poison, and she didn't want to say anything, but said jokingly:

"Okay, you think about your daughter in advance, Su Mo'er, you go and bring Princess Xue'er over and taste the new food that her Ama and Eniang have brought."

Fu Jin suddenly had a wave of anger in his heart: We let our daughter test the poison, and you still said that we thought about ourselves first! But she had to be patient, and her tone was still so gentle and amiable: "The Queen Mother really feels sorry for our Xue'er, and several little princesses chose our Xue'er to taste the new food first." ”

The prince understood Fujin's "spicy" and patted her behind her to show relief and reminder.

Xue'er was naturally happy to see Ama and Eniang, first asked the Queen Mother for An Shili, and then asked for an Shili for her parents, and then sat in Fujin's arms and asked, "How is Xiao Eniang?" How is brother? How is Sister Rui'er? These people are what she thinks about the most.

"Okay, don't worry, they're all right. This is the ice fruit that your little lady learned from a foreign land, can you taste it? ”

"Why don't you give it to Huang Ma first? Huang Ma is an elder. Master also taught us to honor our parents and the elderly. ”

The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while. Fu Jin said unhurriedly: "Ma Mo is old, and his teeth are afraid of cold, so he will eat it later." You are a child, not afraid of cold things. You can pick these preserved fruits, and take which one you like. ”

That's where Fujin's shrewdness comes in. If it is taken by Fujin, the Queen Mother must be suspicious. Naturally, there is no problem with what Fujin has taken, and what he hasn't taken may be poisonous.

"Eniang, is it okay for Xue'er to take this small bowl and a small spoon?"

"Yes, you can take it yourself." Fu Jin still didn't do it.

Xue'er carefully took out a bowl of ice cream with both hands, and after taking a bite, she exclaimed happily: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Thank you Eniang, thank you Amma! Xue'er has never eaten anything like this, Mama, we don't have it in the palace! ”

"Really, really? Seeing that our princess Xue'er eats so sweetly, Huang Ma is also greedy. You get one for Huang Mamo. ”

The Queen Mother finally couldn't resist the temptation of the sweet, milky, and cool new food.

Xue'er handed over what she had in her hand to E-Niang, and carefully took a small bowl of ice cream like herself. Holding it, for fear of falling to the ground, he slowly walked to the Queen Mother: "Huang Ma, please use it slowly." ”

"I can smell the sweet smell of milk from afar. Looks like there's a lot of milk in there. ”

"yes, this thing is milk-based, can your teeth? It's cool. "Fujin is still very kind.

The Queen Mother scooped a little bit, put it on the tip of her tongue, tasted it carefully, and smiled on her face: "Well, it's good!" It tastes good. Xiu'er, Rui Wangye, you also eat, on a hot day, to relieve the heat. "It still looks a little uneasy. Wang Ye and Fujin each picked up an ice cream and ate it.

Su Mo'er has never been greedy, but today she saw Princess Xue'er eating so sweetly, and she swallowed her saliva.

Fu Jin said: "If Miss Su is at ease, she can taste an ice cream. It's this one with a handle, and this one is cooler than the one in the bowl. ”

"Thank you, thank you." Su Moer took the ice cream and took a bite gently, and suddenly a mellow milky fragrance appeared between her mouth and tongue, and a cool breath rushed to the top of her head.

"It's delicious! This was the first time the slave had tasted it. ”

Seeing Su Moer eating ice cream in a big gulp, there was nothing unusual for a long time, and the Queen Mother was completely relieved, and ate all the ice cream in the bowl in a few bites, which was so pleasant! Enjoyed it so much!

"Is there anything else? Give Hongu a handle. "Well, I'm addicted.

Cher brought a melon-flavored ice cream to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's teeth are very good, and she is not afraid of cold, and she can't help but take a big bite after eating the first bite.

Fu Jin hurriedly smiled and stopped: "Queen Mother, you should slow down, this thing is cold, don't be cold to your appetite, you have a stomachache and blame Xiu'er for not saying it." ”

"The little family is angry, this palace only eats your two ice fruits, so I won't be allowed to eat them, give me a lot more."

Even the palace maid standing at the door covered her mouth and smiled.

At this moment, the emperor came. After entering the main hall, he sniffed a few times with his nose: "What smells so good?" Oops, Brother Huang, Sister Jinxiu! What did you bring to the table? Give it to me to taste. ”

The prince took an ice cream bowl with his own hands, handed it to the emperor with both hands, and then asked Fujin to greet the emperor.

The emperor hurriedly stopped: "Hurry up and get even!" Sit! Sit down! Not...... Delicious, delicious! Is there anything left? The emperor's mother must have eaten cold, and the rest of the retainers will help you eliminate it. ”

Everyone laughed.

Fu Jin was very emotional! A pair of mothers and sons, but their attitudes towards others are so different! But it can't be said that the Queen Mother's approach is wrong, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.

"Brother Huang, I can't imagine that you can make such a delicious cold fruit in such a short period of time. If this is pushed away in Beijing, it will be strange if it doesn't make money. Brother Huang, you have made a great contribution. ”

The prince smiled: "The emperor has a good reputation, this is the result of many experiments by Fujin on the side of our mansion." You think it's up for sale? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We haven't had such a delicious cold product to relieve the heat in the Qing Dynasty. Find a way to sell it. It can't be sold cheaply, a bowl of silver or two. ”

Even the Queen Mother smiled: "Your Majesty, do you still want to be a repeat guest?" Can you still make money by scaring people away? ”

"Expensive? Then the royal brother has the final say, and then give me an ice cream, and Princess Xue'er will bring it to the emperor. ”

"What do you want? Do you want more ice or more milk? ”

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes, yes, if there is more ice, it will be cool, and if there is more milk, it will be sweet."

"That's one with more ice and one with more milk."

The crowd laughed again.

Xue'er obediently took a popsicle and an ice cream to the emperor. The emperor took it unceremoniously, took a bite of the popsicle and took a bite of ice cream.

The Queen Mother did not show weakness: "Xue'er, take a lot of ice for Huang Mame." ”

"Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's useless to eat too much." Fu Jin hurriedly stopped it, and said in his heart, don't make your stomach hurt, you still think we have poisoned.

"It's really depressing to not be allowed to eat such delicious things!" The Queen Mother deliberately pretended to be unhappy, her eyes rolled, and everyone covered their mouths and smiled.

"Brother Huang, I know that the original ice cellar in your house is too small, and there will probably be a few pieces of ice left at this time, so I can just talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to come forward to the ice cellar of the Ministry of Industry to pull ice and send it to you."

"Thank you for the emperor's compassion, and the minister went back to the place where the ice was prepared. Will the rest of these ice fruits be left behind or will the minister take them back? The prince said deliberately.

"Lord Rui, how long have you become so stingy? I sent it and I want to take it back? Leave it all for me! Xue'er, you take a few back and give them to Fuquan, Xuanye, and Bing'er to taste. Su Moer, you count, how many are left in the box? The rest will be sent to the ice cellar, and tomorrow the emperor will go to the court to taste it for those princes and ministers. Let them also know that the prince who knows not to go to court is more useful than them! "The Queen Mother said a word of conscience.

The emperor said: "Brother Huang'er, when you go to the court, I want all the princes, county kings, and princesses to offer you ice." The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and if you don't make a force, you can't go out of the ice? ”

"Who is the emperor sending troops to fight?" The Queen Mother said deliberately.

The emperor laughed: "Huang Eniang, it is not a soldier who sends troops, it is an ice that produces ice fruits." Give me another ice cream. ”

The queen mother is a Mongolian, and the emperor is a Manchurian, and they often deal with milk when they are outside the Saiwai. Cheese and milk tea are all necessities of life. After entering the customs, the eating habits tend to be refined and sinicized, but they still have a soft spot for dairy products. In fact, this ice cream already had its prototype in the Yuan Dynasty ruled by the Mongols, but the quality is not as good-looking as ice cream, and the method is also very rough. Even then, it was still limited to the court and the royal family, and the common people were not allowed to use it. The current emperor and queen mother are relatively enlightened, and they did not attribute this delicious food to a small range of the royal family, but were ready to exchange it for silver as a commodity. Therefore, the first thing the prince does has the hope of success.

Before noon the next day, the ice cream matter was in an uproar. The old lady of the Forbidden City had to eat ice cream before breakfast. was so frightened that Su Moer had to scare the Queen Mother: "Fu Jin said that if you eat too much, you will pee your pants, and if it is serious, you will have to go crazy." ”

The Queen Mother pays the most attention to her image, and stops eating temporarily, if the Queen Mother pees her pants or goes crazy because of eating ice cream, that image can be lost too much. immediately remembered his niece and granddaughter, that is, the current queen, and quietly asked someone to send two ice creams, but I didn't expect that the gluttonous worms were hooked out, and when I came to Cining Palace to make trouble, I must eat until my intestines freeze.

There are also the second prince Fuquan, the third prince Xuanye and Bing'er who borrowed the light to eat the ice fruit. The other princes and princesses simply didn't get involved, and even the emperor's favorite concubine E was ignored.

The next day, the emperor mentioned Prince Rui's ice fruit after the court discussion, and described it as a good thing, almost making the ministers hungry. The general bowed and said: "Your Majesty, how about you let the minions have a taste, just to say, isn't it equivalent to talking about the war on paper?" How can you sleep when you go home like this? "Aobai's ability to shoot horses is not a small thing, people scratch the itch, and there is no trace.

Prince Jian Jidu jokingly said: "Your Majesty, the slave is also your brother of the same clan, it's too boring to be so greedy for a brother, right?" ”

"You all want to eat it, don't you? If you want to eat, send ice cubes to Lord Rui. Whoever wants to eat will be delivered. ”

"That's what you're talking about, huh? Do you mean to send more and eat more preserved fruits, and give less to eat? Prince Jane asked.

"I didn't say that, what I mean is that everyone is my brother, nephew and minister, and I should say something about Lord Rui's desire to load silver into the treasury, right? The side Fujin on the Second Emperor's Brother's Mansion is all on the battlefield, can't you give some ice? ”

"Give! Of course it gives! The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and it will be sent tomorrow. The crowd said in unison, "The voice of Ao Bai is the loudest."

"I see that everyone's attitude is not bad, so let you try it?" As soon as the emperor beckoned, two middle-aged eunuchs brought two plates, from which a sweet, cool smell emanated.

The courtiers of the civil and military classes immediately stretched their necks, held their breath, and waited for the emperor's reward.
