The people sent by Ma Yuanzhen to find Li Siniang came back, and there was no trace of her around the capital. She was a foreign woman, and she disappeared so simply, which really made General Ma want to break his head.

Later, they finally caught the two maidservants, but they didn't know what happened from beginning to end, only to see that everyone robbed the valuable things in the house again, and they also grabbed two porcelain vases and ran back to their homes in the capital.

"General, I heard someone shouting, Siniang was robbed, and when I ran out, I saw that the courtyard outside was gone, thinking that they were chasing the robbers, and then I turned around and saw that everyone was robbing the things in the house, and I ...... it."

"Yes, yes, I also heard someone shouting in the inner courtyard that he had been robbed, and everyone panicked, and as soon as someone said to run away, they all fled."

Ma Yuanzhen pressed his violent heart, pointed at them and said, "Die far away." ”

He was puzzled, and felt that Cui Gongzi had a house next door to him, which was really strange.

But when he went to Jingzhao Mansion to check the registration of the transfer of the house, he found that his house belonged to the Cui family as early as the Wenzong period, as for when it came into the hands of Cui Jinyun, this is an internal matter of the family, and Jingzhao Mansion has no right to ask.

On the contrary, the deed in his hand, when he first got it, he wanted to make a secret house, so it was not officially registered, and now it has become waste paper.

In the early autumn of Chang'an City, in the pain of Ma Yuanzhen's loss of wealth and the grand funeral of Prince Jinghuai, it became dry and hot, as if the last heat was vented on this year's "Autumn Tiger".

Arrived at the ice well in the palace, the last day of the ice.

There is no rich and noble family in the Celestial Empire who does not dig ice wells, four or five feet deep from the ground, three zhang three zhang long, eight zhang wide, and the palace well and the mansion well are all of this specification.

There are two ice wells in the east and west in the Daming Palace, which are divided into the ice hall and the cold hall next to it, and the ice is divided into the outer hall, the inner hall, the concubines and the palace people, and it is also the source of the cool air of the two halls.

The summer heat is the last time to open the well to produce ice, and before and after the small cold, the well is opened to hide the ice.

On this day, at the mouth of several ice wells, there were palace maids who came to line up early, because there were not many lumps of ice for the last time. Those who come late often only receive broken ice, which is also stored in the ice book, and the broken ice is easier to melt.

"Bai Ying, you came really early, your Chenghuan Hall is close to Zichen Palace, are you afraid of lack of ice?"

"It's too hot, it's autumn, and it's like summer. Chenghuan Hall is small, everyone is crowded together, and you don't live as spacious, so we have to give us more ice, right? ”

The palace maids in each hall rarely get together, but now they have the opportunity to chat openly, and everyone's gossip hearts are eager to grow wings and flutter desperately in the autumn sun.

"The ice well makes, the ice well covers."

Bingjing envoy is an old eunuch, when the saint was still the king of light, he was often ridiculed by Wuzong in the palace, and once, he was almost buried in the snow by Wuzong and froze to death, it was this Gonggong Dong who saved him.

The Holy One named him the Ice Well Envoy out of his extreme trust in him.

Whether ice is turned into water or crushed into ice, it is food for the mouth, even if it is used to chill fruits, it can be regarded as intimate contact with food.

Father-in-law Dong was followed by a female official, who kept her head down all the way, holding a booklet for recording.

"Li Fu, let's open a well."

The female officer took out two keys from her arms, and used one of them, and the other in Gonggong Dong's hand, to open the door of the ice crystal. The cold air inside hit his face, and Dong Gonggong couldn't help but sneeze.

"Director Dong, it's too cold in the ice well, and you haven't healed from the outside, I'll take two people in, and you can count outside." Li Fu said with concern.

Her voice is soft and beautiful, and she is also delicate, and her gestures have the charm of everyone's ladies. It's just that their Si Nongsi rarely shows up in Xiyuan, and everyone is not familiar with her.

"Hmm. Go in. Shoot the whole pieces first, then the crushed ice. Dong Jing nodded, he looked at the booklet in his hand, and then looked at Bai Ying, who was in the first place, and called out in a long voice:

"Put the ice ---- first, and Chenghuan Hall ---- a piece of ice!"

Bai Ying hurriedly beckoned to the little waiter waiting outside the team, and the two of them hurriedly carried an ice jian, the middle ice is an ice cube with a length, width and height of one foot three, and it looks slightly taller in the ice jian.

After Li Fu heard it clearly, he took the two chiefs to carry the ice. After a while, they came out and put a piece of slightly blue ice cube in the ice of the Chenghuan Palace.

"Wow! For the last time, there was still Lantian Bing. Bai Ying, you have earned it. The palace maids in front of them all whispered joy.

Bai Ying was of course very happy, saluted Gonggong Dong and Li Fu, and walked away proudly in everyone's eyes. As soon as she walked out of the crowd, she saw the princess and Mu Lan.

"Princess, we are the first, and we still have Lantian Bing." Bai Ying hurriedly went up to ask for credit.

You must know that there are a lot of tribute ice from all over the world, and the Lam Tien ice in Gyeonggi Province has the best water quality, and their ice farmers have been registered for generations, just because their craftsmanship is particularly good, and they can collect pure ice.

The princess was looking at the ice in the ice book, and suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd, she motioned for Bai Ying to go back first, and squeezed in with Mu Lan.

"Director Dong, what's going on?"

Seeing that it was Princess Wanshou, everyone hurriedly saluted, Dong Jing wiped his sweat and said:

"Back to Your Highness, just now we were going to give the last piece of Lantian Ice to the Xianju Palace, which was ranked second, but the Inner Chamberlain said that General Ma Da explained that he must receive Lantian Bing. The Immortal Palace did not follow, so the quarrel started. ”

Immortal Palace? The princess was secretly funny, Wu Zhaoyi really didn't think much of it.

Li Fu, who was standing next to him, said seriously:

"Lantian ice is mainly used for ice drinks, General Ma has never liked ice drinks, your ice is mainly for cooling off and ice water baths, in this way, it is better to use Weinan ice, their ice is big ice, you can also save it."

These uses were clearly written in the booklet in the hand of the Bingjing envoy, and Dong Gonggong nodded while looking at it: "In addition to the big ice, I am speeding up the Xiaoice for you, what do you think?" ”

The two people in other provinces are actually used to being domineering, and when they see a good one, they want to go back to ask the general for credit. Now I heard that if you give an extra piece, the credit will be the same.

"I'll go in and get some more, and I'll give you as much as I can." Li Fu did not immediately agree, and turned around and entered the ice well.

It depends on luck? The two fathers-in-law of the other province immediately forgot about Lantian Bing, and stretched their necks in anticipation of giving one more piece of Weinan Bing.

After a long while, Li Fu came out, except for one large and one small, she also carried a piece of broken ice in her hand, and handed it to them together:

"There are also a lot of crushed ice in this bucket, if you go back today and use it, you won't be able to make a mistake."

Ma Yuanzhen has a habit of taking ice baths, saying that it can make eunuchs fit and healthy. Ice Qi Extreme Yin, the so-called cathode anti-yang, can make up for the imbalance that their lack of yang energy brings to the body.

Dong Gonggong didn't believe it, he felt that being close to the ice would only make him have a runny nose. And in the entire palace, among the people who believe it, Ma Yuanzhen has the conditions to use ice.

After getting two more things, the fathers-in-law of other provinces lifted up happily and left.

The princess looked at Li Fu, who had drilled into the ice well again, and nodded secretly:

Li Xueqing is really worthy of being Li Deyu's granddaughter, and she has the courage to do things. You died a strange death in your previous life, and I don't know if I can help you in this life.
