My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 318 Iced Fruit
There was not only one person in the hall, Li Zhi saw that Sizi and Hengshan were both there, and the two little princesses were eating something to cool off the heat, eating chilled fruits with relish.

There is ice in the Tang Dynasty in summer, and Li Zhi didn't find it strange at all. This is the ice cubes stored in winter. Every year, a lot of ice cubes are prepared in the palace, just for the next summer. Generally, the ice cubes stored in winter can't be used up in summer. of.

It was already the end of June at this time, so it was the season to use these ice cubes, so seeing all kinds of iced soups and fruits in the Tang Palace was just a very common thing.Of course, at this time, nitrate ice has not yet appeared on a large scale, and it will not be until the Song Dynasty. Of course, there have been sporadic appearances in the Tang Dynasty, so don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Li Zhi had seen a news before that when Lin Zexu arrived in Humen, a foreigner invited Lin Zexu to dinner, and at the end of the meal there was a dish of ice cream. The news said that Lin Zexu saw the steaming white gas, so he scooped it up and blew a few breaths, thinking that it was very delicious. hot.

This kind of rubbish news will only appear later when there are more media. The writers don't even have the most basic common sense. The history of using ice in China is probably much longer than the entire history of many European countries.

Li Zhi walked in at this moment, Empress Changsun quickly waved her hand, Li Zhi left the empress mother's place, and saw Empress Changsun pinching a purple grape with her jade fingers, and peeled off the skin, Li Zhi opened his mouth quickly when he saw the empress feeding himself.

Swallowing a grape, it feels ice-sweet, which is very satisfying.This iced fruit tastes really good when eaten in midsummer.

"Queen, are there any grapes now?"

"Well, this is the first batch of this year, sent to the palace from the Western Regions on a fast horse, what do you think of Zhi'er?"

"So sweet!"

There, Hengshan was eating melons, and Sizi was peeling grapes. Hearing that the elder brother said it was so sweet, he even gave him one in his mouth.

Or seeing Sizi to feed himself, Heng Shan also took a tooth of melon and gave it to Li Zhi.

Look, the queen mother and the imperial sister, seeing themselves, felt as if they had met a little panda.

But the iced fruit is really delicious. Enjoying it at the end of June makes people feel comfortable and just want to hum.

"Queen, this is a small item that Zhi'er wants to give to Queen!"

At this time, he used a brocade handkerchief to wipe off the sticky juice from the corners of his mouth, and Li Zhi had already taken out the two small sachets from his sleeve.

When Empress Changsun saw it, she was naturally happy to take it, not because of the small item, but because it was given by Li Zhi.

This is the heart, and what Empress Changsun values ​​is Zhier's heart.

At this moment, he leaned closer and sniffed, then nodded.

The son over there saw it, and ran over, picked one up, and smelled it.

"Hey, Brother Huang, isn't this the kind of small sachet made by Sister Shixuan? Why are these two made so well? Look at Sizi."

Sizi took off his own from the waist, and it can be vaguely seen that it is in the shape of a rabbit, but this rabbit is so abstract!
With the handiwork of Lin Shixuan, her senior sister and Xinger, doing this is the limit.

Putting the two small sachets together, you can immediately tell the good from the bad, the fragrance is pure, that's how it is, hey, it doesn't matter.

"This was made by Shangyi Yunxi of the Shangyi Bureau. Brother Tianhuang asked Xiniang to make one for you too, and replaced this one."

Sizi is really rough and needs to be replaced.

"Brother Huang, I want it too, just for Sizi, not for me!"

Heng Shan put down the melon, said something, and then felt two eyes looking at him.

Heng Shan quickly looked at the queen mother and the emperor's brother.

"It's Sister Huang, it's Sister Huang, not Sizi."

Empress Changsun and Li Zhi are also helpless, they are probably real sisters, and they are just messing around.

"Hengshan, remember from now on, don't call your Miss Huang by her nickname again."

"Oh, Hengshan has recorded it!"

At this time Li Zhi was already sitting next to the little imperial girl, rubbing the little girl's bun with his hands.

"Brother Huang will naturally not forget you. Your sister Huang wants a sachet in the shape of a rabbit. What shape do you want?"

"Brother Huang, Hengshan wants a small sachet!"

Empress Changsun and Si Zi smiled. The two little princesses really liked Xiao Tuantuan very much.

After a while, the fruit plate was removed, Li Zhi hugged Hengshan after seeing his mother, and put his arms around his son.

"You two, you want to love each other in the future, but you can't fight over a small thing, hurting the sisterhood."

"Oh, I see, queen mother, son-in-law will definitely give way to younger sister in the future."

"Empress Mother, Heng Shan also knows about it, so I will let you in from now on. Ah, sister Huang."

Li Zhi looked at Hengshan, this is the queen mother, look, she can control Hengshan easily.

There was thunder outside, and in the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun looked at the sky outside.On a midsummer afternoon, the rain came as soon as it was said.

When Li Zhi walked outside the hall, the sky outside had completely darkened, thunder was rolling in the sky, and several bolts of lightning crossed the sky, like a roaring thunder dragon.

Lightning illuminated the sky, and there was a loud noise, as if a gap had been torn open in the sky, and large groups of wet raindrops had already splashed down on the white jade steps outside.

"A long drought brings rain!"

Li Zhi said softly, rain, in this era, is what agriculture needs most. The so-called good weather is nothing more than that.

At this time, it was a complete agricultural era.

Empress Changsun looked at Aizi beside him, and the lightning from the sky struck his face, making Li Zhi's face flickering, giving him a feeling of inseparability.

This child's heart is still at the age he should be.

Long drought meets rain, this sentence in Song Dynasty Hong Mai's "Rong Zhai Four Strokes Poems of Prosperity and Frustration", he unconsciously confided.

Empress Changsun understood that Li Zhi didn't mean to play tricks on literary talent, but in fact it was just some poems, at certain moments, people from later generations really easily uttered them casually.

The last time I saw Wang Yan and saw her dressing up, I recited the two famous lines of Su Shi. Today, watching the rain in Chang'an, I recited these two lines of Hong Mai.

Empress Changsun looked at Sizi, this girl should have memorized her brother's words, probably before today, her husband will hear it.

Zhi'er's character still needs to be tempered.Although this poem is good, it is not suitable for casual words.

However, Zhi'er has been in Datang for so long, and it is extremely rare for him to say something casually now and then.

Seeing the rain falling, Empress Changsun took Li Zhi's hand and retreated into the Lizheng Hall.

"Zhi'er, you don't need to go back to Prince Jin's mansion today. I don't know when the thunderstorm will last."

"Yes, the emperor knows."

"You stay in the palace with your mother!"

A trace of panic flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, it's better to get out of here quickly.

"Queen, Nazhi'er still lives in Wanchun Palace at night!"

Empress Changsun nodded, and Li Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the empress mother would let him live in the Lizheng Palace, so why would his father come here at night.
