She couldn't live without air conditioning, but fortunately she had some knowledge about it and made a lot of things to keep herself cool.

It's like this spinning fan.

But there is no electricity here, so we can only rely on ice and manpower to cool down. Fan'er dared not neglect it, and hurried out after answering. Xia Wanning was thinking about what new things she could research today, after all, there were no modern things here, and the emperor especially liked these little things she developed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't come to her Weiyang Palace several times a day.

Just as Xia Wanning had an idea in her mind, she saw a palace maid coming in from outside carrying ice cubes.

"Why are you taking so long today? I'm almost dying of heat."

Xia Wanning was a little impatient: "Hurry up and get the ice cubes ready." "Your Majesty, this..." The palace maid's face was pale, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a long time, she reluctantly asked someone to bring in two basins of ice cubes.

Two basins of ice were placed on the ground, looking pitifully small compared to the usual two large buckets of ice.

Upon seeing this, Xia Wanning immediately stood up and pointed at the two basins of ice with a slightly ugly look on her face.

"What's going on? Why are there only two basins of ice today?"

Usually, she would be sent at least two buckets of ice, which was four or five times the amount of these two basins. Are the servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs so bold now? Dare to withhold the ice from her Weiyang Palace?

The maid who was carrying the ice cubes was so frightened when she saw the imperial concubine getting angry that she fell to her knees with a plop: "Please spare me, my lady! Please spare me, my lady!"

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Something must have gone wrong. Yue'er is a servant in our Weiyang Palace. She is only responsible for receiving ice cubes, not distributing them. The problem must be with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Seeing that his master was angry, Faner quickly started to explain.

Yue'er, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy after hearing Fan'er's words: "Yes, Imperial Concubine, I really don't know what happened. The Ministry of Internal Affairs used to send two buckets of ice, but today it suddenly became two basins..."

"Forget it, Fan'er, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and take a look."

Xia Wanning glanced at Yue'er with some disgust, and sat back with a look of disdain, "If it is really the work of those servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I think they really don't want to live! Then you can punish them. Anyway, I have your back. I want to see how much they want to die!"

She has been in the palace for so long, who doesn't know that she has become the favorite of all the concubines to the point where she can ride on the emperor's head and do whatever he wants?

This was the first time she had been deducted from her share of the harem since she entered the palace. If she accepted it so easily, wouldn't the servants in the harem think she was easy to bully? Especially the women in the harem, how could she let those women make fun of her?

After hearing what his mother said, Fan'er felt his back straighten up immediately. He walked out without hesitation and went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs angrily.

……

Fan'er was the imperial concubine's personal maid, and everyone in the Imperial Household Department more or less recognized her. Seeing her ill-intentioned look, they all held their breath, not daring to breathe.

"Who is the nun handing out the ice? Stand out!"

As soon as Faner came up, he glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs present, with his hands folded across his chest and a look of arrogance on his face.

The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.

The master of Weiyang Palace was someone they couldn't afford to offend, and even a maid could boss them around.

The key point is that they didn't dare to say a word of no. Everyone knew the one in Weiyang Palace. Even the emperor was reluctant to speak loudly to her on weekdays.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Fan'er's tone became even more arrogant: "Are you all dumb? Can't you speak? Who is the servant who distributed the ice cubes? Stand up! Do you want me to go back and report to the Imperial Concubine, and then have the Imperial Concubine come over to ask in person?"

Fan'er frowned, having lost her patience long ago. She looked directly at the palace maid closest to her and said impatiently, "You say!" "This..." The palace maid was suddenly called out, her eyes filled with panic. She quickly pointed to the other side tremblingly, then turned around and apologized with a smile.

"Miss Fan, the distribution of ice is all handled by Eunuch Li. We are only responsible for providing it, but he decides the quantity. Miss Fan may ask him."

The young eunuch who was pointed out looked pale. He swallowed hard and took a few steps forward.

"It's you?"

Faner sized up the eunuch with his eyes slanted, not taking him seriously at all, and said to himself: "Usually, there should be at least two buckets of ice sent to Weiyang Palace. How come there is so much less today? You damned lowly servant, you even dare to cut back on the ice for Weiyang Palace. I think you don't want to live anymore!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Li Huai knelt on the ground trembling with fear. He was just an ordinary eunuch, and he would not dare to deduct the imperial concubine's share even if he had ten guts.

"Miss Fan'er, I am also following the rules."

Li Huai's face turned pale. He knelt on the ground, not knowing what to do. He could only look at Fan'er with a flattering face, "Don't be angry, Miss Fan'er. There must be some misunderstanding. Why don't we talk inside?" He had a smile on his face and was very humble.

Fan Er sneered: "What kind of rule is this?"

She spat fiercely at Eunuch Li, and her voice instantly became higher.

"It was His Majesty's permission for the Imperial Concubine to use more ice. How can you make comments here? You are all pretending to be ignorant. Tell me! Who instructed you to target the Weiyang Palace like this?"

"The Imperial Concubine has a good temper and is generous. She won't argue with servants like you. But we servants can't just watch our master suffer from your plots behind his back. If Eunuch Li doesn't give me an explanation today, I will report it to the Imperial Concubine and make sure you, the traitors, will pay the price!"

Faner's words were extremely impolite, and were full of threats.

The servants present lowered their heads in fear, fearing that they would be used as punching bags by Fan'er. Only Eunuch Li, with cold sweat all over his forehead, had to answer with a flattering smile.

"I really can't make the decision on this matter. Even if the young lady threatens me with my life and property, it will still be the same. If the imperial concubine feels that there is not enough ice, there is of course a solution..."

Eunuch Li was choosing his words carefully, but before he could finish his words, Fan'er slapped him in the face.

There was a "pop-" sound.

Faner used all his strength and slapped Eunuch Li in the face, and a large area of ​​his face immediately turned red.

The slap came unexpectedly, and not only Eunuch Li, but everyone else present was so frightened that they shrank back.
