Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

"What does your lord want?" Although Wang Gui was curious about why he went to the pharmacy to buy things, he still asked Li Xin what he wanted to buy first.

"Saltpeter." Li Dao said, "The more the better, buy as much as you have."

Wang Gui silently kept these words in his heart, turned around and left.

"Why does the prince buy saltpeter?" Run Niang didn't think so much, and asked innocently, "What is saltpeter? Is it a kind of stone?"

Li Xin laughed dumbly, and said, "Yes. It's a special kind of stone. I'm going to use it to make ice in a while."

Run Niang blinked, curiosity and surprise flashed in her black pupils.

Not long after, Wang Gui came back with a small pot of saltpeter. He said: "My lord, I bought the saltpeter."

"Is that all?" Li Xin took the pot and shook it dissatisfied. Although this thing can be recycled, it is better to have more of the total amount in an appropriate amount, so as not to have it when it is needed.

Wang Gui smiled and said: "Of course it's more than that. The people below bought a big sack and came back. I thought that the prince might not need so many, so I packed these and brought them here. If the prince wants more, I will go."

"Oh, oh, okay, then I understand." Li Xin smiled and said, "I don't need that much, I just want to prepare some first."

Run Niang on the side also put down her fan and ran to stand beside Li Xin, carefully looking at the dirty pot of saltpeter in the hands of her lord, silently guessing how these stone-like crystals would turn into ice.

"Let's go." Li Xin smiled at Little Runniang, took her to the cool corridor outside the house, and ordered the other two maids to prepare something.

At this time, the servants in the front yard suddenly came to report: "My lord, Mr. Chen is visiting."

Hearing this, Li Xin thought it was Chen Youlan who had come, and with a smile on his face, he asked his servants to invite him in quickly. Unexpectedly, the person who came was not Chen Youlan, but Chen Xinheng.

Facing the disappointed Li Xin, Chen Xinheng stepped forward a little speechlessly and said, "Why do you have such an expression when you see me? I don't owe you money."

Li Xin rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to this guy, and pulled Run Niang to squat down. In front of the two of them was a large wooden basin, filled with a lot of water, and a relatively small copper basin was floating on the water, which contained about half a basin of cold boiled water.

"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Chen Xinheng squatted down with great interest.

Li Xin ignored Chen Xinheng, but Xiao Runniang, who had met Chen Xinheng a few times, had a good impression of this good-looking little brother, so she said mercifully: "My lord wants to do tricks."

"Ah? Juggling?" Chen Xinheng frowned, looked at Li Xin with a half-smile, and said, "I didn't hear that you still have this ability. What kind of juggling?"

Li Xin felt that Chen Xinheng was really noisy, so he said casually: "The water turns into ice."

"Water condenses into ice?" Chen Xinheng stretched out his hand to wipe off a little sweat on his forehead, and asked strangely, "Where did the ice come from in this weather?"

Runniang couldn't help but give Chen Xinheng a blank look, as if saying: Why are you so stupid! What kind of trick is turning into ice in winter? Of course, it is only powerful when it turns into ice cubes in summer!

Chen Xinheng accurately grasped the thoughts of Li Xin, the little maid, from his eyes, and was at a loss for words for a while—it seemed that it really made sense. But, how is it possible that summer turns into ice?

When Chen Xinheng was circling "impossible" in his mind, Li Xin had already poured all the saltpeter in his hand into the wooden basin.
