Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 136
Shuqin covered her mouth and smiled: "Madam, our place is not a particularly cool place. If we can store this ice for half a year, then the place itself will be so cool that we don't need ice."

"Oh…"

Shen Xi felt that she was inexplicably out of wit recently: "Then put this ice in the inner room, it will be cooler in that place without the sun."

"Yes, my lady."

With that said, Shuqin directed the servants to put the ice in the right place.

With that ice, the whole room cooled down quickly.

It is indeed the ice that Xiao Che specially asked someone to bring over. It is really incomparable to the ice sent by the palace on weekdays. Although the ice has been frozen for a long time, it will naturally melt after two or three hours. Put a lot of ice in the room to relieve the heat for a while.

But the ice was unusual at first glance. After such a long time, there was no water dripping down, and there was also the surrounding fog. Those who didn't know thought it was some kind of immortal energy.

Now that there is this ice, Shen Xi looks at the huge sun outside that makes one's heart tremble, and silently suppresses the thought of going out to eat hot pot.

Couldn't she just call someone to come and get it done?

Anyway, the inner room is pretty empty, isn't it a simple matter to set up a hot pot?

Shen Xi is extremely proud of her ingenuity.

Since they all decided to eat in the mansion, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, it can be done today.

So she asked Shuqin to send a servant to Delongju, and asked the people there to come and build a simple hot pot support for her, and by the way, bring the bottom of the pot and the ingredients. Let's eat mutton hotpot together.

In the past, it was not that there were no dignitaries who asked them to deliver hot pot, so the people in Delongju were quite familiar with this business.

With this ice cube, Shen Xi no longer feels sleepy all day long, and even sleeps much more comfortably.

Maybe it was because of the rest tomorrow, all the ministers were more interested in going to court, and even the memorials were less than usual, Xiao Che came back earlier than usual.

The ice was made when he saw that Shen Xire had no strength to do anything, and had to sweat from time to time before he asked people to dig it, but the most important thing was at night, Shen Xi always liked to sleep with him in his arms, and pulled her away a little. Neither are happy.

Both of them were obviously hot enough to sweat, but she just refused to let go.

In order for him not to have to take a bath early in the morning, Xiao Che was also very diligent.

The mutton hot pot inside had just been set up when Xiao Che arrived.

Seeing him, Shen Xi trotted over and wrapped his arms around him, with bright eyes: "My lord, why did you come so early today?"

"Take a rest tomorrow. There is nothing important today, so I'll be back early." Xiao Che's eyes fell on the hot pot, and the fragrance had already begun to overflow.

Shen Xi said happily: "My lord, you don't know that this ice is really the best thing. With this ice, I don't want to go out for the whole summer."

Xiao Che was about to talk about this matter with Shen Xi, the emperor knew that he had made a piece of ice for Shen Xi, so he also mentioned the matter about the Summer Resort by the way.

In previous years, at this time, the emperor would take the concubines and some ministers of the harem to the summer resort to escape the summer heat. This year, because the matter of Xiao Che has not been mentioned for a long time, now that everything is back on track, the emperor will bring up this matter again. .

In order to prevent Xiao Che from being alone, the emperor never allowed him to be alone in the court, and it is still the case now.

The emperor meant that he wanted to keep Wang Yi to assist the government. He thought Xiao Che would disagree, but he was unexpectedly easy to talk this time.

This Wang Yi is also the elder brother of the Empress Dowager. He was originally just an uncle of the country. At that time, everyone thought that Xiao Che was dead. The emperor vigorously supported his own power in the court. First of all, he made Wang Yi the minister of state. , it is natural for him to supervise the country.

In fact, the emperor still wanted to take Xiao Che along this time, but he selfishly felt that Xiao Che would definitely not be willing, so he tested him in the court this morning, and he felt more and more likely to take him along.

So he summoned his few confidantes into the palace overnight, wanting to hear what they had to say.

Xiao Che knew everything about the palace's actions, but he just let them mess around and didn't want to worry about it.

Right now he is eating hot pot with Shen Xi.

With the ice on the side, Shen Xi was really in a good mood. She picked up a large piece of mutton for Xiao Che: "My lord, try it quickly, this meat tastes very fresh, and this is their signature."

Xiao Che let her enthusiastically pick up food for himself: "You were not so diligent in the past."

That time I didn't patronize myself to eat.

Shen Xi sneered: "It's wrong to be a concubine in the past, haha..."

Xiao Che didn't say anything, and silently ate the mutton in the bowl.

It is indeed the most famous restaurant in Beijing. The taste is really not comparable to that of ordinary restaurants. The taste of mutton spreads from the tip of the tongue, which should be the meaning of the mouth and teeth.

Of course, in addition to mutton, hairy tripe, abalone, fresh shrimp, etc. in their shop are all Shen Xi's favorites.

The emperor discussed it for a long time, and finally reached a result.

It's not impossible to try, no matter how old Xiao Che is, it is impossible for him to cross the emperor, the emperor ordered him to rest, is it possible that he can still resist the order?
The emperor was moved by what they said, so he twisted a piece of imperial decree that night and asked someone to send it over.

But he forgot that Xiao Che would really resist the decree.

The imperial decree was written in a high-sounding manner, saying that it felt sorry for Xiao Che who had just recovered from a serious illness, and that he had just returned safely from the wild land of Loulan, so he had been trying to find a suitable opportunity for him to have a good rest. This kind of thing, the health is not very good, after all kinds of balance, I just want Xiao Che to go to the summer resort with him to escape the summer heat.

Firstly, you can rest your body from the scorching heat, and secondly, you can relax and enjoy the mountains and rivers. The consideration is not inconsiderate.

Xiao Che's first reaction when he got this edict was to ask Shen Xi first.

Ever since the incident in the imperial mausoleum happened, Shen Xi didn't want to have any possibility of having any contact with the emperor alone. Before that, he was guarding every step of the way in the palace. It's hard to say about the Mountain Resort.

The place that could have been used as a summer resort was inaccessible and far away from the busy city. If the emperor distracted him, it would not be impossible to do something to Shen Xi.

For example, just find an excuse to ask Shen Xi to accompany the queen mother, or accompany the concubines he brought over, of course it is impossible for him to accompany him as a man.

Therefore, it is still necessary to ask Shen Xi first about this matter.

Xiao Che simply withheld the imperial decree, and waited until he had asked Shen Xi's opinion.
