"Liu'er, go out and call An Ruixiang in. Spring Wind, Summer Rain, and Autumn Frost, you three peel these fruits. If you want to cores, then do so. After that, cut them into small pieces and put them into a large bowl. "Dong Xue, take the ten bowls and spoons to the table over there and set them down."

"Your servant greets the Empress. May I ask why you summoned me?" Just as I finished assigning the four girls their jobs, Anxiang and four others came in.

"I have called you all here for a reason. Now, I will hand over a glorious and difficult task to you all. Do you have the confidence to complete it?" I said seriously, deliberately.

"This servant will do as the Empress commands, and will not hesitate to go through fire and tread upon water!" The four young eunuchs glanced at each other, then replied in unison.

"Good, very good. You do indeed have the courage and courage. I was not mistaken about you." Satisfied, I nodded and tapped them on the shoulder.

"The glorious and arduous task that I am going to entrust to you is to dig the ice! The four of you, use your hammers to smash that block of ice into small pieces. When I finished speaking, everyone looked at me blankly, then burst out laughing.

"Aiya, I've finally seen all of you laughing. Am I that easy? In the future, you have to smile more. Don't put on a bitter face all day, and be careful not to turn into a bitter melon. "If someone comes to the Purple Cloud Pavilion looking for me one day and only finds eight bitter gourds without finding me, wouldn't they say I've become a bitter melon's nurturer?" I said, and they all laughed even more.

"Alright, ladies and boys, don't just stand there. Just do what you have to do. I, the Empress, am waiting for your materials!"

"Yes, Empress!" They all answered with a smile. How great it was to be like this, to have a lot of vitality when one looked at it. It was better for people to smile.

In about three-quarters of an hour, they had already finished packing.

"Remember my steps, next time it's you guys who make it for me." Several of them nodded at my words, then stared with wide eyes, afraid of missing any detail.

I have to say, this bunch of kids here are all very obedient and loyal. I washed my hands, then scooped up some ice cubes and put them in a large bowl of fruit cubes. I stirred some sugar and water, stirring for a while before adding some more until I finished adding the cubes. At this moment, the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of fruits, but it was no longer that hot. I scooped up a scoop of super fruit shavings and poured them into a set bowl. There was still one person left in the bowl. To whom? I thought, and suddenly the handsome face of the devil appeared in my mind. Well, just give it to him, see how hard he works every day.

"Don't just stand there. One bowl for each of us. Hurry up and eat it. Once the ice melts, it will no longer taste good." I picked up a bowl and said to the few people standing there foolishly. Liu'er obediently picked up a bowl, but the eight children were still hesitating.

"But the Empress."

"Stop, don't tell me that this is against the rules. If you want to be my master, then hurry up and let me eat. No nonsense." Knowing what they were going to say, I interrupted them.

"Your servant (Your servant) thanks the Empress for her grace!" The kids saw that I was being harsh, so they all picked up a bowl and ate gratefully.

"En, that's more like it!" I nodded in satisfaction and continued to eat.

After eating the ice shavings, the group went back to their work. I asked Willow to bring me a box of snacks. I put the ice into the box and handed it to Willow. He then quickly found a piece of paper, wrote down a line of words, folded it, and handed it to Liu'er. He instructed, "Liu'er, take this to the imperial study and give it to the emperor. Then give this piece of paper to him."

"Yes, Miss!" Liu went out with her things. I felt a little sleepy, so I climbed into bed and went to sleep.

In the quiet imperial study, Leng Haoxuan was sitting on a dragon throne, reading a imperial report. Two palace maids were standing on both sides of him, gently fanning him with a fan. Even though it was still very hot in Leng Haoxuan's heart, it was impossible for him to calm down and read the memorial.

"Your majesty, Yue Yu's servant Liu'er requests an audience. She said that Yue Yu made something called 'super fruit skating' and specifically sent it over to Your majesty." Just as Leng Haoxuan was getting annoyed, Eunuch Wu opened the door and walked in.

Yue'er's super fruit shavings? But what kind of thing was this fruit chip? "Why hasn't he heard of it?" "Announce her to come in!" Yes! "Xuan Liu`er is here to see you." Just as she finished speaking, Liu'er walked in with the box in her hand.

"This servant pays his respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live for tens of thousands of years!"

"Let's skip the formalities and rise!" Leng Haoxuan put down the memorial in his hand and waved his hands as he spoke.

"Thank you, your majesty!"

"I heard that your esteemed mistress made this super fruit skating machine and gave it to me. Do you know what that fruit skating machine is?"

"Your majesty, this super fruit ice shavings is made from fruit and ice. It's a summer's time." Liu'er returned respectfully.

"Oh, present it." Hearing that it was a summer's feast, Leng Haoxuan looked forward to it.

"Yes sir!" Liu'er respectfully passed the box to Eunuch Wu. Eunuch Wu took the box, walked to Leng Haoxuan and opened the lid. He then took out the bowl containing the ice shavings and placed it on the table. Suddenly, a burst of sweet fruit fragrance and cool air hit his face. Leng Haoxuan's irritable mood immediately calmed down a little. Leng Haoxuan looked at the bowl in front of him. He saw bright colored fruits, red strawberries, white pears, purple grapes, yellow bananas, and a thin layer of ice on top that made people's appetite.

Leng Haoxuan impatiently stirred the spoon and then scooped a spoonful into his mouth. Immediately, the rich fragrance of the fruit filled his taste buds with a refreshing coldness, and his body's heat and boredom calmed down.

"Liu'er, when you go back and serve your master, tell him that I really like eating the super fruits that she cooks."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Empress has a note for this servant to give to Your Majesty." Liu'er almost forgot as she passed the note to Eunuch Wu. "This servant will take his leave!" Liu'er bowed to Leng Haoxuan, then gently retreated.

Leng Haoxuan put down his spoon and took the note from Eunuch Wu, opening it gently. A graceful handwriting appeared before my eyes, "Imperial Majesty, to thank you for your help last time. I made the best super fruit ice planer for you, hoping to bring you some cool in the hot summer day, to dispel the heat. This is the only one with this super fruit chip, oh no other name, I hope the emperor likes it, hee hee, little moon. " There was even a playful smiley face drawn after the signature.

This little girl is truly a clown. Fortunately, I discovered her earlier, otherwise, someone would have snatched her away. That would be a pity. After reading the note, Leng Haoxuan could not help but chuckle. A gentleness appeared in his eyes that even he did not notice. Leng Haoxuan was in a good mood as he finished the piece of ice and continued to read the memorial.

Not far away from the imperial study, a figure was hiding in a flower bush. Watching Liu'er's back as she left, he turned around to look at the imperial study. In the grand and majestic Jing Cui Palace, at the head of the front hall sat a enchanting woman in a pink rose fragrance tight gown with a green flowery dress covering her waist. Her waist was tied with golden silk and soft smoke in a large bow, her hair hanging down in a jade phoenix hairpin, lightly sweeping her moth eyebrows, and slightly blushing, revealing a slender and enchanting body that captivated the soul and soul. This woman was the imperial concubine of the Feather Emperor, Prime Minister Feng's daughter, Feng Qingyu. Beside her stood her personal palace maid, Han Cui.

"Niangniang, little Fang requests an audience!" A palace maid came in to report.

"Send him in." Imperial Concubine Yu opened her squinty eyes, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

"This servant greets imperial concubine, Imperial Concubine Jin An." The little Fang walked in and bowed respectfully.

"Exempt from the formalities. Did you discover anything when I let you stare at the Purple Cloud Pavilion?" Imperial Concubine Yu played with the gold-plated armor in her hands as she asked softly.

"Reporting to the Empress, today your servant saw Yue Gelou's personal palace maid, Liu'er, enter the imperial study with a box of pastries." Reporting to the Empress, today I saw Yue Gelou's personal palace maid, Liu'er, enter the imperial study with a box of pastries.

Xiao Fang reported everything he saw to the imperial concubine of the Feather Emperor. When the imperial concubine heard this, she immediately lost her composure.

"What?" The emperor actually accepted the pastries she sent over? Are you sure? "

"Reporting to the Empress, this servant sees it with absolute truth. I absolutely do not dare to lie at all. the young man said firmly.

"How preposterous! The emperor actually accepted her pastries. It has to be known that the imperial study of the emperor forbade concubines from sending things in. Even the last time I personally delivered the Hibiscus Cake, it was blocked."

"Empress, please calm your anger!" The palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they fell to their knees.

"Calm down? How can you tell me to calm down? "I've been favored by the Emperor for many years, and even the Emperor doesn't want anything from me. Today, he actually accepted something from a young girl who just entered the palace, and even asked a lowly palace maid to deliver it."

The imperial concubine gnashed her teeth in anger, her face ashen. Sigh, a jealous woman is a terror.

"Perhaps His Majesty just so happened to be hungry, and this is just a moment of freshness. "Your Highness, why do you have to be like this? It's not worth getting angry over yourself. Everyone in the palace knows that the Emperor dotes on you the most." Han Cui gently kneaded the shoulder of the imperial concubine and softly consoled her.

"If you think about it, it makes sense. With just a little bit of cool water, she wouldn't be able to create any big waves. After the Emperor's freshness passes, she will become a yellow flower yesterday." Imperial Concubine Yu finally calmed down from her anger.

"Xiao Fang, go back and continue to watch over the Purple Cloud Pavilion. If there's anything else, report it to me immediately."

"Your servant obeys the decree!"

Imperial Concubine Yu waved her hand for Xiao Fang to leave.

I slept until the sun went down and I woke up at dinnertime. After my evening bath, I sat on the couch while Liu continued to embroider her red hair.

"Miss, Liu'er sent super fruit ice shavings to the emperor today. The emperor asked Liu'er to tell the young lady that the emperor really likes them." "It seems that the emperor really does like Miss, hehe!" Liu'er laughed as she spoke.

"Look at how happy you are. Is there anything else the Emperor can say?"

"No, but Liu'er saw that the Emperor seemed to be overjoyed!" Willow thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"Oh!" However, I didn't expect that the Handsome Prawns and Shrimp would be the Emperor. Although I liked him back then, he's still an Emperor, and in the end, he's not what I want. I just want him as my friend in the future, there's nothing to worry about. Thinking of this, my depressed mood after entering the palace somewhat calmed down.
