Wang Gui brought a bowl of iced sour plum soup from the kitchen, it was so cold that the air seemed a little more cool.

"You can also fill a bowl and eat." Li Xin took the sour plum soup and casually told Wang Gui.

Wang Gui smiled gratifiedly, and said, "No need. This old slave is not hot."

Li Xin wanted to say that it's a hot day, who isn't hot, but when he looked closely, Wang Gui was standing in front of him with a clean face, except for the ashes on his face, he wasn't sweating at all. Li Xin had Little Run Niang playing the fan beside him, and a thin layer of sweat could not help but ooze from his body!

Are people who practice martial arts really different? The legendary cold and heat do not invade?

Li Xin could only attribute this strange sight to Wang Gui's hidden identity as a "super expert".

After Wang Gui left the room, Li Xin took a mouthful of cold soup with a spoon, but he was not in a hurry to deliver it to his mouth, but said to Run Niang: "Come, have a taste."

Unexpectedly, although there was longing in Niang Run's eyes, she finally shook her head and said, "Niang Run doesn't want it."

"Why?" Li Xin asked puzzled, "Your lord is not short of this sour plum soup."

Run Niang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "No way. There is not much ice in the house."

Li Xin suddenly realized. That's what happened.

In the era when there were no refrigerators, summer ice was a very precious thing, and there was no place to buy it if there was money. Only noble families were eligible to enjoy it. There is a cellar specially used to store ice cubes in the Chu Palace. Every winter, Wang Gui will send someone to fill it with ice cubes and take care of it carefully. However, even so, in summer, these ice cubes are at most about 30% to 40% left.

This year's temperature is hot, and Li Xin is greedy for a sip of cold. He has to eat some iced fruit and iced soup every now and then. The ice in the house is consumed very quickly. If only Li Xin ate, in fact, he wouldn't be able to eat much. The key reason is that he sometimes likes to take a large piece of ice and put it in the basin, and then put the basin beside him to absorb heat. In this way, the consumption of ice cubes becomes faster.

As Li Xin's personal maid, Runniang is naturally careful and thoughtful. She had already asked the maid in charge of the ice cellar, and heard that there was not much ice in the cellar, and it would not last long. That's why she was reluctant to eat this iced sour plum soup.

Li Xin patted his thigh and said with a smile, "What am I supposed to do? It turns out that's all there is to it. Don't worry, Bing will do it."

"Your Majesty is lying, where do you get ice in this hot weather?" Xiao Runniang pouted and said.

"My lord, when have I ever lied to you? If there is ice, there is ice." Li Xin smiled mysteriously, and said, "You first eat this bowl of iced sour plum soup obediently. If I can't make ice after you finish eating, I will reward you." You don't have to fan me, how about it?"

Run Niang shook her head again, and said, "No, I have to fan."

Li Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and brought the sour plum soup to Runniang's mouth, coaxing the child and saying, "You can do whatever you want. You can eat some."

Wang Gui stood quietly at the side, watching Li Xin treat Little Runniang so tenderly, he couldn't help showing a smile on his expressionless face all year round.

This picture is really sweet.

"By the way, Wang Gui, send someone to the pharmacy to help me buy something." Li Xin casually explained while feeding Xiao Runniang.
