People in the Tang Dynasty, Jian'an style

"Jinxiu, go get a bowl of water!" Hiding the saltpeter in his sleeve, Li Wenbin walked into the pavilion and instructed Jinxiu confidently.

Jinxiu fetched some water and put it on the table with a suspicious look on her face. Ruyue and Wanrong also came over.

Li Wenbin smiled mysteriously at the three women, covered the bowl with his left wide sleeve, and muttered a few words like "eat grapes without spitting out the skins" to delay time, but the hand in his sleeve put saltpeter into the bowl.

When it felt like it was frozen, he imitated the shamans on TV in later generations, drew a circle in the sky with his right hand, pointed two fingers at the table and shouted: "Taishang Laojun, hurry up and give the order, change!"

With a loud shout from Li Wenbin, he raised his sleeves to reveal the bowl. What was a bowl of clear water just now turned into a bowl of cold ice.

"Wow," the three girls shouted at the same time. Their suspicion immediately turned into disbelief. They didn't expect Li Wenbin to actually turn water into ice, and it happened right before their eyes. It couldn't be fake. Wang Wanrong even touched it with her finger and found that it was indeed ice.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, are you really the reincarnation of a god as rumored by the outside world?" After all, Wang Wanrong was a person who had seen the world and had a strong sense of self-control. She quickly recovered from her shock and asked Li Wenbin stutteringly.

Although she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she couldn't help but believe it when she saw the scene before her. In her opinion, apart from the power of gods and ghosts, what else could turn water into ice?

"It must be like this. His Highness must be the reincarnation of a god. Woohoo, Jinxiu is so lucky that she can be with His Highness day and night. It must be the blessing of my dead parents in heaven..." Jinxiu's emotions were out of control. She climbed on Li Wenbin and cried. The first few words could be heard clearly, but after that, no one knew what she was saying at all.

Ruyue was also frightened. She looked at the ice on the table and then turned to look at Li Wenbin. Her eyes were wide open and she opened her mouth several times but didn't know what to say.

Li Wenbin was very satisfied with the reactions of the three women. Although his performance was full of flaws and the result was very ordinary in the eyes of later generations, as long as one had some knowledge of chemistry, one could guess the secret. But in the eyes of the Tang people who had not yet discovered the method of making ice with saltpeter, it was undoubtedly a "magic" with a very shocking effect.

After a while, when Jinxiu had almost vented her emotions, Ruyue stopped turning her head back and forth in a daze, and Wang Wanrong was already thinking hard about the mystery. Li Wenbin smiled proudly and continued to brag, "Does it feel incredible? I learned this from an immortal after studying for a long time!"

This sentence attracted the attention of the three girls, and the three little heads nodded in unison.

Now they not only respected Li Wenbin, they even regarded him as a god-like figure. They did not dare to doubt Li Wenbin's words at all. They all stood there in an orderly manner, no longer as casual as before.

“Hahaha, it’s so funny to see you all like that!” Li Wenbin looked at the three girls and suddenly laughed out loud, with a look of success on his face. He laughed until he collapsed on the chair, holding his stomach. After a long while, he pointed at them and said, “You…you don’t really believe that I know any magic, do you?”

"Your Highness, you are making fun of us again!" Seeing Li Wenbin's expression, Ruyue and Jinxiu immediately came to their senses and said angrily, stamping their feet.

After being together for such a long time, Li Wenbin likes to play jokes on the two girls when he is bored. He always looks like this after he succeeds, which makes people hate him so much.

Wang Wanrong had always been skeptical, and now she realized that she had been fooled by Li Wenbin.

But they were also wondering: How did His Highness turn water into ice?

Li Wenbin laughed for a long time, and finally stopped. Seeing the three little girls staring at him with resentment, he couldn't help but want to laugh again, but he still coughed and said, "Okay, I won't laugh anymore, and don't be angry. How about I teach you how to turn water into ice, and you can use it to tease others in the future?"

It was just a joke. There's no need to make all three of them angry. After all, they take care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Really, Your Highness, you are so kind!" Jinxiu was easy to coax. After hearing what Li Wenbin said, she immediately jumped up, hugged his arms and shouted happily.

Ruyue was not really angry. In fact, she really liked Li Wenbin joking with her because it made her feel very close to him.

Wang Wanrong was very eager to find out the reason for ice making. She felt that a business opportunity was right in front of her. Could she seize it?

"Hehe, actually this trick is very simple. The key is this thing." Li Wenbin said as he stretched out his hand and took out the unused saltpeter.

The three girls' eyes were all focused on the white saltpeter in Li Wenbin's hand. Wang Wanrong had been following her father in business since she was a child, so she was well-informed. She felt that the saltpeter looked familiar. She reached out and picked up some and put it under her nose to smell it, then stretched out her tongue to taste it, and said with certainty: "Aren't these just ordinary saltpeter?"

When Wang Wanrong said this, Ruyue immediately remembered and exclaimed, "Yes, this is saltpeter. I remember it seems to be a medicinal herb."

"Haha, I didn't expect that you two have such sharp eyes. You recognized this thing at once." Li Wenbin smiled with some surprise, "Jinxiu, go get some more water." Facts speak louder than words. Instead of Li Wenbin working hard to explain how saltpeter absorbs heat and freezes after dissolving in water, it would be better to let them experience it for themselves.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Jinxiu agreed and ran out quickly to get water.

Chapter 143 Facial Mask

"Hey, Wanrong, I noticed that you seem to have become a little darker these days?"

Li Wenbin hadn't seen Wang Wanrong for a few days and really missed her, so he couldn't help teasing her as soon as they met.

In response to Li Wenbin's teasing, Wang Wanrong rolled her eyes at him.

She has been busy in and out of the palace these days, and can no longer live a life of luxury like she did as a young lady. How can she not get tanned when she is exposed to the sun every day?

"Your Highness, let alone Sister Wanrong, even Sister Ruyue and I have gotten tanned. Haven't you noticed?" Jinxiu, this girl who wanted to be the first to get everything, ran up and said with a resentful look on her face.

"Really? Let me see!" Li Wenbin leaned close to Jinxiu's face and reached out to touch her extremely fair and tender skin. It felt even more tender and smoother than a shelled egg. How could there be any sign of darkening?

However, Li Wenbin would not spoil the fun by exposing Jinxiu's lies. Is it interesting to have a pretty little maid who acts coquettishly from time to time?

"Eh, it seems like it's really getting darker!" Li Wenbin deliberately exclaimed, "But it doesn't matter. I have a lot of exclusive secret recipes here. For example, if you make a facial mask and apply it regularly, your skin will become white and tender after a while."

"Facial mask?" Wang Wanrong and the other two girls asked in surprise. No matter which generation the girls are from, loving beauty is their nature. When they heard that there was something that could make the skin white and tender, they immediately became extremely interested.

"Yes, it is to mix several whitening materials together, then apply it on the face, wash it off after a while, and the skin will become elastic and smooth. If you use it regularly, it also has whitening and anti-wrinkle functions, allowing girls to maintain a youthful and radiant glow."

Li Wenbin used all the advertising slogans he had seen on TV before. After all, it was just for fun with girls, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

"Really? Your Highness, please teach us how to make that mask?" Even the usually reserved Ruyue got excited and shook Li Wenbin's arm. Wang Wanrong was also worried about her tanned skin, and she was very excited when she heard Li Wenbin talking about the mask, with eager eyes.

"Hehe, I can teach you, but there are conditions!" Li Wenbin said with a smile. He was free anyway, so teasing these beauties was a good way to kill time.

"What conditions?" the three women asked in unison.

"The condition is actually very simple, that is, I want to help you apply it with my own hands!" Li Wenbin smiled very obscenely.

"What kind of condition is this?" Ruyue and Jinxiu were both confused, but then they came to their senses, looked at Wang Wanrong, whose face was blushing beside them, and a mischievous smile appeared on their faces.

They have been with Li Wenbin day and night, and they have already unlocked the necessary postures.

But Wang Wanrong was different. Last time, Li Wenbin just touched her finger and she was so scared that she ran away. She looked absent-minded for a long time.

Now Li Wenbin has to apply facial masks to them personally and let a man touch her cheeks. This is absolutely embarrassing for an unmarried girl.

"Hmph, just apply it!" Seeing Li Wenbin and Ruyue looking at her with teasing eyes, Wang Wanrong's stubborn temper came up, and she said angrily. Anyway, she had already made up her mind to enter Prince Qi's Mansion, so was she afraid that Li Wenbin would touch her cheek?

Li Wenbin was a little surprised to see Wang Wanrong agreed, but he would be a fool not to take advantage of an opportunity, especially when it is a beautiful girl.

Li Wenbin immediately asked Ruyue to get the materials needed to make the facial mask, which was just a few eggs, honey and some milk.

Li Wenbin only kept the egg white, added a few spoonfuls of honey and milk and stirred them evenly. Then he asked Ruyue and the others to wash their faces with clean water. Then he asked them to lie on the recliners one by one. Li Wenbin first put facial masks on Ruyue and Jinxiu, and told them not to move and to keep the masks on for at least a quarter of an hour.

When it was finally Wang Wanrong's turn to apply the medicine, Li Wenbin encountered trouble.

Although Wang Wanrong agreed very decisively, due to the girl's shy instinct, she lay down and closed her eyes, her face flushed and she did not dare to look at Li Wenbin.

In fact, Wang Wanrong’s expression is not the key, the key lies in the clothes she is wearing.

She was wearing a skirt commonly worn by women in the Tang Dynasty. However, unlike the skirts of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was influenced by the Hu style, and the necklines of the skirts were relatively large. Although not as exaggerated as the chest-squeezing outfits in later movies, they still exposed some skin under the neck.

It was not a big deal when he was watching her normally, but as soon as Wang Wanrong lay down and Li Wenbin stood at her head, he could see clearly what was inside her clothes.

Ruyue and Jinxiu are both family members, so there is nothing to see. Li Wenbin didn’t even notice them just now.

But Wang Wanrong's physical development was obviously much better than that of an average girl. When she lay down, she presented herself to Li Wenbin without reservation, attracting all his attention.

Li Wenbin felt his lower abdomen was hot and his lips were dry!

Wang Wanrong lay there with her eyes closed and waited for a long time, but Li Wenbin did not make any move. Although she was full of shyness, she still couldn't help but open her eyes and take a look. As a result, she found that Li Wenbin was like a fool, staring at her chest and drooling.

"Ah——" Wang Wanrong screamed in fright, covered her chest and jumped up from the recliner, with an expression of shame and anger on her face.

Although she had been prepared for Li Wenbin's flirtation, it was not until the incident happened that Wang Wanrong realized that she was not as indifferent as she had imagined.

"What's wrong?" Wang Wanrong's scream startled Ruyue and Jinxiu who were resting with their eyes closed. They all turned their heads to look at them, but when they saw Wang Wanrong covering her chest, they immediately thought of some scenes that were not suitable for children.

"Ha...haha, it's okay, it's okay, you guys lie down quickly!" Li Wenbin laughed dryly and said to the two women with embarrassment. At the same time, he was very annoyed in his heart. After all, he was deeply influenced by the culture of the island country in his later life. He didn't expect that today he couldn't control his eyes. What's more embarrassing is that he was discovered by the other party.

Who would believe what Li Wenbin said?

Although they thought so in their hearts, Ruyue and Jinxiu didn't say anything. They looked at Li Wenbin with amusement and lay down again.

"Hey, are you satisfied or not?" Seeing Wang Wanrong glaring at him, Li Wenbin simply got thick-skinned and yelled fiercely.

"Humph, of course I should apply it!" Wang Wanrong regretted her rash behavior.

But she had no way out now, so she just let it go. Anyway, she would be Li Wenbin's person from now on, so he could watch it if he liked.

Chapter 144 Preparing Gifts

After thinking it through, Wang Wanrong simply let go of her hand and lay down again, but she stared at Li Wenbin with her eyes wide open and full of anger.

Li Wenbin felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, and his eyes became much more obedient. Although there was a beauty in front of him, he no longer dared to stare at her blatantly, and began to apply the facial mask to Wang Wanrong obediently.

I have to say that Wang Wanrong's skin is really great, tender, smooth and elastic, and it feels like touching the finest silk. Li Wenbin couldn't help but touch it a few more times, which immediately attracted a glare from the other party.

After the facial mask was made, it took about ten minutes before Li Wenbin asked them to wash their faces. The three girls immediately found that their skin was indeed softer and more elastic than before, and had a plump and natural glow, which looked very attractive.

"Okay, today is just the first time. This facial mask does not need to be applied every day. Otherwise, not only will it fail to achieve the whitening effect, but it will also cause small pimples on your face. Generally, doing it once every three or four days is enough." Li Wenbin smiled. He had a girlfriend in his previous life, so he knew a lot about these simple facial masks.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to know so much about girls. I really admire you." Jinxiu said with admiration, touching the smooth skin on her face.

"Hehe, I know a lot about girls!" Li Wenbin smiled obscenely, and his eyes deliberately drifted across Wang Wanrong's chest.

Changsun Wugou’s birthday is coming soon, and I also need to prepare some gifts.

Gold, silver, jewelry and the like are too tacky. If you want to give a gift, give something special that a woman can use.

Li Wenbin is a man of action and never has time to rest.

He immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Works's Construction Bureau to get a few bundles of soft iron wire.

These iron wires were originally used to tie and fix the armor, but he just wanted to bundle it like this, and the chief craftsman in charge of the work did not dare to ask any more questions.

What we give is the top quality made from the finest steel that has been tempered hundreds of times.

"Your Highness, do you think this is enough?"

After giving Li Wenbin several bundles of wire, Ruyue asked.

"That's enough, that's enough." Li Wenbin tried it and said with satisfaction, "These things are enough for all the women in Chang'an."

Ruyue widened her eyes, not knowing what he was up to.

Li Wenbin already had an idea in his mind, but it was not the time to speak it out yet.

He first cut a piece of wire, and then gestured at Ruyue's chest for a while before he completed it.

He asked her to find several women in the mansion who were good at needlework. Li Wenbin gave them instructions for a while, explained his requirements, and then let them try to sew.

While they were busy, Ruyue and Jinxiu were watching curiously from the side. Only Wang Wanrong hid in the distance, but she still glanced over here from time to time.

"Your Highness, what on earth are you doing?"

Jinxiu asked curiously.

"Oh, these are some things used by women. They are very convenient for you." Li Wenbin glanced at her, "especially for a girl like you."

"Oh--"

Jinxiu didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Although several women who were good at needlework didn't know what they were supposed to do, they still started sewing according to the instructions.

In just two hours, Li Wenbin got the world's first bra.

He first rewarded the women handsomely, and then said to them: "This thing is related to the royal family. If you don't want you and your family to suffer misfortune, just shut up. Do you hear me?"

"Yes." Several women answered.

They didn't care about it at first, but after hearing that it was related to the royal family and might bring bad luck to their entire family, they no longer dared to take it lightly.

Li Wenbin waved his hand and asked them to leave. Just as he was about to speak, the bra in his hand was taken away by Wang Wanrong.

She held the bra, first looked at it in the sun, then put it on her head to measure it, and finally put it on her chest as if she had learned it by herself.

"Ahaha, Your Highness, I get it. This is actually armor, right?" Wang Wanrong raised her head proudly as she spoke, as if waiting for Li Wenbin to praise her. "But isn't the protective ability a little weak? How can such a layer of cloth protect against swords and knives?"

"Puff——" Li Wenbin almost choked on his own saliva.

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Am I wrong?"

Li Wenbin was speechless for a while, then snatched the bra back: "You are right, it is indeed a kind of armor, but this kind of armor is worn under clothes to replace the bra."

"Ah?" Wang Wanrong was dumbfounded.

She knew what a bra was used for. If this thing was said to be able to replace a bra, wouldn't it mean it had to be worn close to the body?

Thinking about how she was still gesturing to Li Wenbin, Wang Wanrong felt as if her face was burning. She wished there was a crack in the ground so she could crawl into it.

“Ahhh——” The little girl could no longer bear the shame on her face and ran away covering her face.

"Why are you running? I didn't say anything." Li Wenbin looked at her like this, sighed and shook his head.

Then, he saw Ruyue and Jinxiu staring at him with strange looks.

"Does His Highness have a crush on Miss Wang?"

"No, no, I am innocent. This is not my fault."

Li Wenbin quickly protested his injustice.
