No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

As it got dark, Su He entered the house cautiously and reported to Lin Mingyan that the Fourth Master had gone to the main courtyard of the Lady's Mansion.

Lin Mingyan was obviously relieved and asked Du Juan to serve the meal.

When dinner arrived, she didn't even look at it and let Dujuan and the other two share it.

She has indulged herself too much in the past ten days and has been eating so much that her belly is full every day.

Although I exercised a lot at night, there were two times when I was forced to exercise until the rooster crowed, and I was so tired that I felt like I had stretched my muscles.

But eating too much is eating too much, and she didn't dare to eat more.

If you don’t look, then you are innocent.

Du Juan and the other two were a little worried, thinking that she was so depressed that she couldn't even eat.

Lin Mingyan saw them flirting with each other and thought it was probably a misunderstanding, so she wanted to move around to prove that she was happy.

As a result, I felt too hot to move after just two steps.

When I turned around, I saw that all the ice in the ice basin had melted into water.

Du Juan followed her gaze and immediately said, "The new ice may be delayed. I'll go and get it delivered."

There was no ice in Gege's share, so where could she go to ask for it?

Lin Mingyan raised her hand to stop her: "Goodbye, spend money sparingly."

Ice has been delivered since noon these days, and it is so cool in Linfengju that it doesn't even feel like summer.

But that was all because the Fourth Master came every day, and what was delivered from the warehouse was the Fourth Master's share.

He's not coming today, so if you want ice you can only buy it with money.

"Princess, it's just some ice..." Dujuan hesitated.

She felt that with this favor, the little guy would not refuse to give her some ice if she asked for it.

Lin Mingyan waved her hand: "That's not necessary."

Then he turned around and ordered, "Su He, bring the saltpeter I asked you to bring last time."

If there is no ice, she can just make some herself.

Su He immediately turned around and went to the small warehouse to get the saltpeter. The three of them stared with wide eyes, not knowing what their master was going to do.

Lin Mingyan then instructed Dujuan and Linglan to prepare a clean basin and half a basin of boiled water.

Finally, he took a clean small white porcelain jar, filled it with water, and slowly added saltpeter into it.

Stir while adding.

To the astonishment of Du Juan and the other two, a basin of water turned into a basin of ice in the master's hands!

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a!

What kind of outrageous incident is this?!

Not to mention the stupid brains of Du Juan and the other two, even Lin Mingyan herself found it a bit magical.

Although she knew this, she was also mentally prepared for the possibility of failure.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded!

What kind of mediocre chemistry genius is she?!

"Okay, the ice is ready," Lin Mingyan put the small jar on the table and looked at the clean basin of iced shashasha: "It can still be eaten!"

She asked and found out that the ice used in the house was dug from the river in winter and stored in the ice storage.

That is unclean, it is best not to put it in your mouth.

But the ice she makes now is real cold and frozen, and it tastes effortless to eat.

Dujuan was happy to hear what she said. Then she looked at the cold ice in front of her, her lips trembling with excitement as she quickly closed the door.

"Princess, I'd better spend the money to buy it. If someone sees this..." Dujuan shuddered.

Du Juan, Ling Lan, and Su He were horrified: Master, please retract your magical powers!

Lin Mingyan felt the coolness and didn't quite understand: "Being seen? What's wrong with being seen?"

Although ice making was a bit magical for people in the Qing Dynasty, it was not some kind of black magic. If someone saw her, would they burn her to death?

"This...this..." Can this damn magic be made public?

No wonder.

No wonder the Fourth Master has been staying at Linfengju every day since she came.

So... she is...

A vixen?

Or the Great Immortal? !

Du Juan and the other two were ready to be buried with the master, but people are selfish. They thought that their master had not been discovered yet, so they wanted to live one more day.

Lin Mingyan was so frightened by the three people's stares that she said, "No, I just discovered it by accident."

"This saltpeter is a medicinal ingredient. If you put it in water and stir it, it will turn into ice. It's very simple."

"If you don't believe me, try it yourself."

Su He scratched his head: "Indeed, I bought it from the pharmacy, it's not expensive..."

He tried it first and got a basin of ice.

Then comes the second and third pots.

"That's all you need to know," Lin Mingyan reminded them, "If other people knew, the price of saltpeter would go up, and we wouldn't be able to afford it!"

"Yes, princess!" The three of them were so happy that they wanted to jump for joy.

This summer, it’s so comfortable with saltpeter!

Lin Mingyan ate iced watermelon and drank caramel milk tea with ice cubes.

Apart from the lack of mobile phones and the Internet, life there was hundreds or thousands of times better than in modern times.

Today she couldn't even help herself and spent money to go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make her some fried chicken.

Fried chicken with iced milk tea, and listening to gossip, this life is unique!

But as she listened, she felt something was wrong: "What did you say? The Fourth Master hasn't been to the backyard for more than half a month?"

No, no?

Life was so good that she became a little too proud of herself and completely forgot about her boss.

"Yes, Fu Jin, Song Gege, and Li Gege have all been to the study room delivering soup and water twice..." Du Juan said a little anxiously.

This was what she heard today when she took the money to go to the kitchen, stood there waiting for fried chicken, and listened to the eunuch over there grinding his teeth.

They thought Ling Gege was thinking about sending this new and delicious food to the study.

After painstakingly developing seven or eight copies, in the end, they didn't even take the money and asked her to return them quickly.

Lin Mingyan was stuck. She had few people serving her, and they were all new recruits, so they were not well-informed.

But now, even after receiving this news from the kitchen, she felt embarrassed.

Oh, the three masters of the concubine have expressed their loyalty twice, but the Fourth Master ignored them.

If I go there myself, it would be fine if the Fourth Master ignores me, but what if he does?

Wouldn't that make me jealous to death?!

But if I don’t go, what will the Fourth Master think?

Everyone cares about me, how dare you, Lin, ignore it?

Lin Mingyan was not slandering the Fourth Master behind his back. She felt that based on Yongzheng's temperament in history, he would really think so!

Anyone who is thought of this way by him, where else can he go except the cold palace?

Oh, that’s not right. There isn’t even a cold palace now. You can only go to the cold courtyard.

Even a mass grave!

Lin Mingyan was reluctant to give up the good days of fried chicken and milk tea, so she stood up immediately and asked, "Tell me...what did they give me?"

Fried chicken and milk tea are absolutely not allowed to be given as gifts. The Fourth Master is not a three-year-old child and does not need to be cured by junk food.

I should find out what my colleagues gave me.

Dujuan had already inquired about it, and found out that the most common gift was Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup.

Lower the fire.

Lin Mingyan immediately made the decision: "Then we'll give this to you too! Add some ice cubes!"

It can also reduce internal heat.
