Time Travel: Brothel Maid

"Brother Rong!"

The moment Xie Mengwan saw Zhao Yunrong, the worry, anxiety, pain and longing that had been accumulated in her heart for days surged in like a tide, turning into endless grievances, which she could no longer hold back and poured out with her tears.

Xie Mengwan no longer cared about the etiquette and restraint that a lady of noble family should follow, and she threw herself into Zhao Yunrong's arms without hesitation.

"Brother Rong, do you know how Wan'er has been through these days? She has no appetite and can't sleep at night. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid Wan'er will not be able to survive..."

Xie Mengwan became more and more excited. She hugged Zhao Yunrong tightly and sobbed as she told him all the hardships she had experienced during this period and how much she missed him.

Immersed in crying, Xie Mengwan did not notice the unusually calm expression on Zhao Yunrong's face at the moment, as if she was a spectator who was not involved.

There was even a barely perceptible trace of impatience on his face, as if the grievances and cries of the woman in his arms were insignificant matters to him.

Xie Mengwan didn't see a response from her lover for a long time. She slowly straightened up and looked up in confusion, but she looked into a pair of eyes as deep as the sea. Those eyes were suddenly filled with pity, which instantly soothed the grievances in her heart.

"Wanmei loves me so deeply, how can I leave you without any worries? I will come back even if it costs my life."

Zhao Yunrong's deep and gentle voice seemed to reveal a man's deep affection for his beloved woman.

Sure enough, Xie Mengwan showed a touched expression on her face. She felt that the torture and fear she had suffered in the past few days were all worth it.

Since this man loves her so much, she should naturally love him more.

Suddenly, Zhao Yunrong's brows furrowed slightly, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, as if the pain he had been enduring could no longer be suppressed.

Xie Mengwan had been watching him the whole time. His subtle changes in expression naturally did not escape her eyes. Seeing that he looked in pain, she asked worriedly, "Brother Rong, what happened? Are you injured somewhere?"

Although Zhao Yunrong's voice was full of fatigue, he still managed to say, "It's okay."

Xie Mengwan knew that he said this to prevent her from worrying, but how could she bear to see her lover in such pain, so she hurriedly called the court doctor for advice.

The court doctor replied that the prince's injuries were quite serious and he urgently needed to rest and recuperate. He must not overwork his mind and it would be best if he could rest in bed for a while.

Upon hearing this, Xie Mengwan hurriedly asked the eunuch to help her lover back to the room, and gave some instructions, asking Zhao Yunrong not to get out of bed for the next few days. Only then did she reluctantly return home.

Zhao Yunrong waited until Xie Mengwan had gone far away before he slowly stood up and turned to look at the court doctor. He said in a calm tone but with unquestionable majesty, "If she comes to ask you in the next few days, you will say the same thing."

The court doctor bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the hot summer, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky and the shrill cicadas chirp one after another, all of which make people feel irritated.

Xiao Guo'er was fanning herself with a round fan and lazily lying in a chair.

She had been in such a listless state for several days. Apart from the work she had to do every day and could not delegate to others - sorting lottery tickets with Arabic numerals and preventing counterfeiting, all the rest of the work was left to Tang Xi.

It's not that she is lazy, it's just that this scorching hot weather is really unbearable.

Of course, seeing how hard Tang Xi worked, Xiao Guoer generously added some extra money to his salary.

Tang Xi's eyes lit up as he looked at the extra silver he had received.

The employer said that this was this month's "high temperature allowance". Although he didn't know what "allowance" meant, he roughly guessed that it was because of the hot weather, so he gave him more salary.

He worked even harder.

The employer also said that when the weather gets cold in the future, he will give out "heating fees".

Tang Xi felt that this young boss was the best boss in the world. He once again secretly made up his mind in his heart - he would follow the young boss and work hard, and he would not leave even if he was driven away!

Xiao Guoer felt her body was sticky and wet from the hot weather, and she had no way to vent the heat in her heart. She once again missed the air conditioners, fans, and ice cream of modern times.

She was really greedy, so she asked Tang Jingchen for some ice cubes.

In this era, especially in such an unbearably hot summer season, ice is an extremely precious and rare resource.

Only wealthy aristocratic families with great wealth could afford to build ice cellars specifically for storing ice for cooling off in the summer.

Tang Jingchen didn't know what she was going to do. He just thought that she couldn't stand the scorching heat, so he asked Shun'er to get her a whole tank of ice.

Xiao Guoer was so shocked when she saw Shuner and two other servants carrying a jar of ice from the carriage that she stood there in shock.

This is too much... She can't use it all. With so much ice, how many ice bowls does she have to make?

Yes, she couldn't make ice cream, so she planned to make some ice bowls to cool off and satisfy her cravings.

Now that there was so much ice, she made more and let everyone have a taste.

After thinking it over, he asked Shun'er to transport the jar of ice to the kitchen of Jinxiang Building not far ahead.

She needs to show off her skills. With so much ice, she needs a bigger kitchen.

I went to the market and bought ten kilograms of milk and some seasonal fruits to take with me.

Tang Jingchen watched her tossing and turning, and was curious, so he asked her what she was doing. She blinked her big watery eyes and said mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed!" and told him to just wait.

Not knowing what weird ideas came out of her little head, Tang Jingchen watched her busying in and out with some anticipation.

After all, she can always bring him different surprises every time.

There are many ways to make ice bowls. Due to the lack of machinery, Xiao Guoer decided to make the simplest one.

The first step is to turn these large square ice cubes into finely crushed smoothies. This is also the most important step, which will directly affect the taste.

There is no ice crusher here, so you have to rely on manual labor. But you can't just break the ice cubes, because that would only give you small ice cubes of different sizes, not smoothies.

If you scoop it out little by little with a spoon or scrape it with a knife, you can get fine and dense slushy, but the ice cubes are so big and there are so many of them that if you scoop it out little by little with a spoon, it will take you forever.

We still have to think of a clever way to save time and effort.

Xiao Guoer thought of a tool - a plane.
