The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The seventh and third princes of the Southern Yue Kingdom finally arrived in the capital.

It's only June, but it's already very hot.

As soon as the seventh prince stepped off the carriage, the heat wave that hit him made him dizzy.

The capital of the Great Qi is too hot, unlike the Southern Yue Kingdom where it is spring all year round.

There was ice in the carriage, but it was so hot outside that the sun was shining on the road and it felt like it was going to melt it.

He wouldn't have gone on this long trip to suffer if it weren't to help his fiancée vent her anger.

I wonder if Miss Su is prepared to face the storm he will bring?

This time, Emperor Qi Jing once again led his ministers out of the city to welcome him.

Prime Minister Feng, sitting in a wheelchair, was also pushed along with the main group. He had been either lying down or sitting for the past few months and had no chance to exercise, so he had gained dozens of kilograms.

Fat people are most afraid of the heat, so Prime Minister Feng held a handkerchief in each hand and kept wiping away the sweat.

Su Qianqian didn't go. Last time, when the Empress of Western Xia came, she went out of the city to greet her in order to prevent poisonous snakes from hurting people.

But the prince of Nanyue Kingdom wouldn't summon snakes, so she wasn't worried at all.

Murong Yan also came outside the city to welcome the Seventh Prince. When she saw the Seventh Prince Huangfu Yuan, her eyes turned red.

She immediately threw herself into Huangfu Yuan's arms.

"A-Yuan, you've finally arrived."

Huangfu Yuan felt particularly sorry for her. Previously, when Murong Yan wrote to him that she had been bullied by Miss Su, he wished he could tear Miss Su into eight pieces.

Seeing that her beloved Murong Yan's eyes were red and swollen, she felt that Su must have bullied her badly.

He whispered in Murong Yan's ear, "Yan'er, don't worry, I'll go to Gu's Teahouse right now to get revenge for you."

Huangfu Yuan declined Emperor Qi Jing's invitation to a banquet at the palace and instead had Murong Yan lead the way to Gu's Teahouse.

As Prime Minister Feng watched the dust kicked up by the Seventh Prince's entourage as they left, he guessed that the Seventh Prince must be angry.

The Great Qi is renowned throughout the world for its benevolence and morality. How could we allow guests who have come from afar to be dissatisfied? That would be utterly inappropriate.

Prime Minister Feng said to Emperor Qi Jing, "Your Majesty, I noticed that the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue seems rather unhappy. Although the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince are on a mission to Da Qi together this time, according to reliable intelligence, the old emperor of Nan Yue favors the Seventh Prince the most, and it is highly likely that the throne will be passed to the Seventh Prince in the future."

"He must know that our Great Qi gave Xixia 100,000 taels of silver, but just now he only gave the Seventh Prince 50,000 taels of silver as a greeting gift. That's too little. I heard that the Prince of Huainan has been sending people to Nanyue, wanting to join forces against Great Qi. Your Majesty, Great Qi must satisfy the Seventh Prince. We must not let Nanyue side with the Prince of Huainan."

Emperor Jing of Qi thought about it and felt that friendly nations should be treated equally, without favoritism.

"I understand. However, the national treasury is already empty. I will ask my ministers to donate some silver later. Once we have raised 50,000 taels, we will send it to the Seventh Prince."

Prime Minister Feng only wanted the court to give money to Nanyue, but he didn't want to spend his own money.

"My leg injury hasn't healed yet, and it's started hurting again. Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now."

Lord Xue and Minister Qin, among others, quickly made excuses to leave.

Having spent more time with Su Qianqian, the two men, unlike other ministers who fawned over foreigners, believed that it was only right to use money on the people of Daqi.

As Emperor Jing of Qi watched his ministers flee in disarray, he thought to himself: "These ministers, the moment it comes to donating money, they all run faster than rabbits."

Su Qianqian was busy making frozen desserts in the backyard.

The cellar in Gu's backyard was just dug this morning, and truckloads of ice were transported from the Marquis of Guiping's residence.

The Marquis of Guiping's residence had a large cellar where a lot of ice was stored during the winter.

Even the Marquis of Guiping and his wife came along with the ice-carrying truck.

Lady Hou smiled and said, "I haven't seen Qian'er for several days, I miss her terribly."

"I heard you needed ice, so I had all the ice from the Marquis's ice cellar brought over."

When Madam Hou went to Su Qianqian's bedroom, she felt that the pillow material was not good enough and that the room was not spacious enough. She felt that she had mistreated her future daughter-in-law.

They quickly sent an old woman out to buy some good stuff.

"Qian, it's hot lately, so put more ice in your room at night. Don't worry about using up the ice; I'll buy you more when you run out."

Su Qianqian was very grateful.

Every summer, the price of ice would skyrocket, but Lady Hou never expected that the Hou family would transport all the ice to the teahouse.

Without ice in the room at night, it's too hot to sleep at all. Doesn't the Lady Hou think about herself?

Su Qianqian actually possesses ice, and in astonishing quantities.

Last winter, when I came to Beijing for disaster relief, I collected countless ice blocks from frozen rivers along the way.

The space has a preservation function, and there is a natural pit inside. She put all the ice she collected in winter into the pit, and none of the ice melted.

So she doesn't lack ice at all.

However, the weather is very hot, and some of the ice from the Guiping Marquis's residence has already melted by the time it reaches Gu's shop. If it is transported back to the Guiping Marquis's residence, even more ice will melt, which is quite wasteful.

So she accepted the ice.

"My lord, my lady, actually, saltpeter can be used to make ice. Why don't we buy some saltpeter and make ice blocks? That way, the Marquis of Guiping's mansion won't lack ice..."

Su Qianqian also explained the method of making ice with saltpeter, which was very simple and required no technical skill at all.

But Lady Guiping was greatly shocked.

I was shocked by how capable my future daughter-in-law was; she actually knew that saltpeter could be used to make ice.

They were also shocked that such a secret method had been casually revealed to the Guiping Marquis's residence.

He was becoming increasingly satisfied with his future daughter-in-law.

The Lady of the Marquis immediately instructed the Marquis to send someone to the clinic to purchase saltpeter.

Lady Hou was unaware that Su Qianqian did not believe that saltpeter had any advantage in making ice.

No matter how much time-travel novels exaggerate the use of saltpeter to make ice, the reality is that because saltpeter is used in small quantities as a medicinal ingredient, medical clinics don't have much saltpeter.

It takes more than a year to make saltpeter artificially using sewage, so it is possible to make a small amount of ice using saltpeter.

However, it is not easy to produce large quantities of artificial saltpeter for profit. At least we will have to wait until next year for a large quantity of artificial saltpeter to be produced before it can be used for commercial trade.

She wasn't interested in making ice with saltpeter because she had an inexhaustible supply of ice in the space.

Murong Yan had been keeping an eye on Gu's Tea House, so before the Seventh Prince's carriage even arrived at the tea house, someone came to report to Murong Yan.

"Sixth Miss, Marquis Guiping and his wife went to Gu's Tea House today. After that, Marquis Guiping sent out a lot of people. I followed one of them to the nearest clinic and found that they went there to buy saltpeter."

Saltpeter?

Murong Yan looked at the wooden basin containing ice in the carriage and suddenly remembered that she had seen a video in her previous life saying that saltpeter could be used to make ice.

"Buy it! We'll also send people to steal saltpeter. Saltpeter is a good thing; it can be used to make ice."

Huangfu Yuan said with particular pride: "My daughter Yan'er has been smart since she was little."

Murong Yan was born through a transmigration, so she displayed amazing talent from a young age.

He could compose poetry at the age of three, and by the age of five he was already helping the Murong family come up with ideas and make money through business.
