"Queen, I see you chopping so hard, this time it's my turn!" Chuntao came over with a bowl of boiling water and handed it to Rong Changan, "You drink this bowl of water first, to warm your body."
Rong Changan took the water, but did not pass the ax to Chuntao, "You don't need to cut it, I will do it myself! I have been in the military camp, and I am stronger than you. I am good at using knives and swords!" He insisted not to give it to Chuntao. After chopping and drinking two sips of water, she continued.
Just as soon as she picked up the ax, a trace of pain flashed across her face, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Chuntao was so distressed, she hurriedly asked, "Queen, what's wrong with you?"
Rong Changan put down the axe, opened his small snow-white hands, and found that there were actually two large blisters on the palms of his hands. Now the blister has burst, and it is burning and painful.
"Hiss..."
"I'll get you a white cloth to wrap it around!"
Chuntao went back to the room, tore a strip of cloth, went back to the back garden, and wrapped it up for Rong Changan. While pestering her, she cried, and tears the size of beans fell on the palm of Rong Changan's hand.
"What's wrong with you?" Rong Changan asked.
Chuntao pursed her lips and cried, "Thinking of how noble you are as a queen, you actually come to do this kind of work! Who will believe it?"
It turned out that she felt sorry for Rong Changan and cried because she felt sad.
Rong Changan touched Chuntao's head, and smiled sweetly: "It's just a small bubble, is it worth crying? It's not like you cut off your fingers and hurt your feet. Stop crying and listen to me, otherwise, I'll cry." I got angry."
Chuntao said: "I hate that Ziyan, she has such a vicious heart, she didn't let the emperor send charcoal fire in such a cold weather! The most vicious person in the world is none other than her!"
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. People like Zi Yan will not end well. Just trust me."
Rong Changan handed the bowl to Chuntao: "Go to boil the water, I thought of a better way to keep warm."
Chuntao put a question mark on both eyebrows: "What way?"
"You go find two skins, I have my own way."
So Chuntao boiled water while looking for skins in Fengming Palace.
After Rong Chang'an finished cutting ten pieces of wood, Chuntao also found two pieces of leather.
"What are you doing with the leather?"
Rong Changan laughed and said, "Make a bag that can warm your hands!"
Chuntao is still baffled. Rong Changan found scissors, a needle and thread, cut the leather into several pieces, and cleaned them. With needles and threads, several pieces of leather were sewn together tightly one by one, forming two bags with openings.
"What can this be used for?"
Rong Chang'an said: "We can put boiling water in the bag, so that it won't be cold when we hold it in our hands."
Spooned a bowl of water and poured steaming water into the pocket, but the water leaked through the seams.
"No way, the water leaked out, what should I do?" Chuntao frowned again.
Rong Changan pondered for a while, then smiled again: "I know how to do it!"
She found oiled paper again, opened the water bag just now from the inside, pasted the oiled paper on it, and then sewed it tightly with a needle and thread.
"Chuntao, try again and see if the water still leaks?"
Chuntao took over the water bag and refilled the water bag with boiling water. Two water bags were filled, and no more water leaked.
"Queen, you are really smart!" Chuntao applauded Rong Changan, clapping her hands and feet, "You are the most intelligent person in the world."
Rong Changan smiled and said, "Just make a hand warmer bag, and you are the most intelligent person?"
Chuntao smiled and said, "Anyway, I think the queen is the most intelligent person."
After boiling water and drinking two bowls of tea, my body became much warmer. Then, some pieces of wood that Rong Chang'an had cut were burned into charcoal, and when they were red hot, they were put into the stove. The rest was quenched with water and kept for another day.
There was a charcoal fire in the room, and the red fire light dispelled the severe cold, and the air slowly became warmer. The frozen faces of Rong Changan and Chuntao blushed, they looked like two peach blossoms, really cute and beautiful.
"Queen, you have two peach blossoms blooming on your face." Chuntao smiled.
Rong Changan also pointed to Chuntao's cheek and said, "You also have two peach blossoms on your cheek!"
The two looked at each other, and both giggled. This is also one of the joys in bitterness!
Under Zi Yan's interference, Rong Chang'an not only did not get charcoal fire, but what he ate was almost dregs.
The maid wanted to send some steamed buns to Fengming Palace, Zi Yan threw the steamed buns into the water, and put them outside in the ice and snow, and waited until the steamed buns were as hard as a stone, she took them back and put them in a basket for the maid to deliver.
Seeing the maid's embarrassment, Zi Yan smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm thinking of Rong Chang'an! She has very good teeth, she likes to bite any sheep bone, pig bone, twisted bone, this hard one Steamed buns fit her teeth."
The maid brought the food to Rong Chang'an, the weather was cold and the stomach was full, so he didn't feel the cold.
Chuntao couldn't bear it, so she untied the willow basket first, picked up a big steamed bun, put it in her mouth and gnawed it.
Heck!
"Hmm..." Chuntao had a bitter face, and spit out half a broken tooth from her mouth, "What is this, it's so hard!"
The two maids who delivered the food thought it was funny, but they didn't dare to laugh in front of Rong Changan, they just held it in their stomachs, and their faces turned red.
Rong Changan seemed to have noticed the trickiness, and also took out a steamed bun from the basket, and broke it, but it couldn't be broken. It knocked on the table, and there was a bang, just like a stone hitting the table.
Rong Chang'an suddenly understood, and said to the two court ladies: "You have met Zi Yan, haven't you?"
Usually, the steamed buns sent by the two maids are very soft and fragrant, but the steamed buns sent today are so hard.
The two maids did not dare to say that it was Zi Yan, they just lowered their heads and twisted their hands.
Chuntao was furious, and threw the steamed buns in her hand on the ground: "How can you eat such steamed buns! Feed the dog, and the dog's teeth will fall off too! Does this Ziyan want to drive us to death so that she is happy? She has a vicious heart too. !"
Rong Changan was angry, but she tried her best to restrain her anger. If she is hysterical, it proves that she has nothing to do with Ziyan. She needs to calm down!
"Forget about Chuntao, the steamed buns should be frozen outside after passing through the water. Let's boil a pot of boiling water and heat the steamed buns. Isn't it ready to eat? It's a pity to lose such good food. In other places , Many people still can’t eat such good food!”
With that said, Rong Changan knelt down, picked up the steamed bun that Chuntao had just thrown away, and put it back into the basket.
"Chuntao, go and bring me a bowl of boiling water."
Chuntao was still angry and didn't want to go.
Rong Changan pushed her, as if comforting a child: "Chuntao, go, I will prepare a big meal for you later!"
turn back? When will the life in Fengming Palace end
However, Chuntao didn't tell Rong Changan that way, since as a queen she could bear it, as a girl and a maid, there was nothing she couldn't bear!
