    "Hey~, why are you dazed?" Just when Wang Xijun turned her head to one side and was thinking about something, suddenly a big hand waved in front of her eyes, and then Li Min's big face was in front of Wang Xijun.

    "Ah~" Wang Xijun was lost in thought, but she didn't expect that a human head suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.  Li Min didn't expect such a big reaction from Wang Xijun. Unprepared, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't hold the plate stretched out in his hand. He fell to the ground with a "pop~" and immediately turned into thousands of pieces of different sizes.  broken pieces of porcelain.

    "Are you okay?" Although Li Min was startled, he was more worried about Wang Xijun. He just saw her standing there in a daze. Li Min was almost out of fruit, so he wanted Wang Xijun to get some fruit, but he didn't.  Thinking of the fact that there was no response after calling her several times, I felt a little strange: Could it be that this little girl had her brain frozen yesterday?  So he stepped forward to see if she was okay, but he didn't expect that she screamed when he asked.

    "Oh~, II'm fine!" At this moment, Wang Xijun saw clearly that it was Li Min standing next to him, his face turned red unnaturally, and he stammered in reply.

    "It's okay to scream so loudly, it startled us." Hua'er beside Li Min muttered dissatisfiedly. Although Wen'er was somewhat repelled by Wang Xijun, she had a quiet personality and would not express her dissatisfaction in front of others.  Tell it face to face.

    Wang Xijun knew that he was in the wrong, so he hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the ground, and then followed Li Min's instructions to get a plate of fruit.  However, this girl Hua'er is obviously a bit unreasonable and dislikes Wang Xijun everywhere.  She picked up a piece of fruit and immediately put it down with dissatisfaction: "The weather is so hot. The fruits His Highness eats are all iced. How can they be served so directly?"

    "I~I'm going to get the ice right now!" Wang Xijun didn't know why. Ever since Li Min was scornful of her just now, her mind was in a mess. When she saw Li Min, she felt a little flustered and couldn't do anything.

    "Okay, Xijun, you don't have to run anymore. The weather is so hot, be careful of heat stroke!" Li Min stopped Wang Xijun softly when he saw Wang Xijun sweating profusely.  Teasing is teasing, after all, Wang Xijun's identity is different from Wen'er and Hua'er. Yesterday, he scolded her in a hurry, and he regretted it afterwards. Now seeing Wang Xijun's pitiful look, he felt even more intolerable.

    "Thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Xijun didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't dare to make eye contact with Li Min. He lowered his head and bowed, then sat down to peel some fruit for Li Min.  Now that Li Min had spoken, Hua'er couldn't say anything more, so she just pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

    Seeing that the atmosphere in the pavilion was a bit awkward, Wen'er smiled and suggested: "Your Highness, why don't I go get some ice? It's almost noon, and even the pavilion is getting a little hot."

    Li Min also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. His eyes lit up when he heard Wen'er's words, which made him think of a good way to make the girl happy. He first smiled mysteriously, and then replied: "Wen'er, I heard that Zang Bing in the mansion is not  It's a lot, so don't waste the ice in the ice cellar. However, I have received some guidance from an immortal and learned a spell to 'turn water into ice'. How about I open your eyes today and create some ice to cool down the heat?  "

    Hearing Li Min's words, Wen'er and Hua'er's eyes lit up, but their faces were filled with doubts. Apparently they didn't believe that Li Min knew the magic of 'turning water into ice'.  Wang Xijun, who was sitting there in a daze, was also diverted by Li Min's words. He temporarily put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and stared at Li Min with bright eyes.

    "Your Highness, are you talking nonsense? Hua'er has seen Yuan Shenxian perform Taoism for His Majesty in the palace. Although it is very magical, I have never heard that he can turn water into ice on such a hot day.  "?" Hua'er was bolder and asked bluntly.

    "Oh? The old immortal you are talking about is Yuan Tiangang?" When Li Min heard the old immortal Yuan Tiangang in Hua'er's mouth, he immediately thought of Yuan Tiangang. The nobles in the Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism, which led to the great development of Taoism. Among them are  Several Taoist priests were very famous, and there were two during the Zhenguan period. One was Sun Simiao, who was recommended by Li Min to treat Queen Changsun, and the other was Yuan Tiangang.  Unlike Sun Simiao, who specializes in medical skills, Yuan Tiangang is more like an orthodox Taoist priest. His best thing is physiognomy, and he is accurate in observing people. The most famous thing is that he predicted that Wu Zetian would win the Li family.  In addition, he also has a nominal disciple Li Chunfeng, but this person is not a Taoist priest. Now he is serving as the Taishi Ling in the court. He is most famous for arithmetic. He and Yuan Tiangang co-authored "Tuibei Tu". It is estimated that  The destiny of China for more than two thousand years following the Tang Dynasty is said to be extremely accurate.

    "Your Highness, please don't call the old immortal by his first name. What if the old immortal hears this and gets angry?" When Li Min called the old immortal Yuan by his first name, Hua'er was so frightened that her face turned pale.  They hurriedly spoke to persuade, and even Wen'er looked nervous. It seemed that in their hearts, they really regarded Yuan Tiangang as their??It's so magical.  Wang Xijun, on the other hand, didn't react at all. It seemed that she didn't believe in those things about gods and ghosts.

    "Haha, okay, how about I call him Taoist Yuan from now on? It's not rude, right?" Li Min was deeply troubled by the feudal superstitious thoughts of the two girls. The young one is so superstitious, and when he gets older, he will still be so superstitious.  Not becoming a goddess?

    Seeing Li Min change his words, Wen'er and Hua'er breathed a sigh of relief.  At this time, I heard Li Min continue to say: "Actually, I have also had a crush on Taoist Yuan for a long time. Unfortunately, I have no chance to meet him. However, I can guarantee that Taoist Yuan will not be able to do the spell he played today."

    "Really?" Hua'er and Wen'er expressed doubts at the same time. Although they knew that their master had learned a lot, they still didn't believe it. After all, they had been living with Li Min day and night, and they knew that the words that His Highness Prince Liang sometimes said could not be believed.  .

    "Tch~, you guys are waiting here, and you are not allowed to come out. I'm going to make preparations and make ice for you right away." Li Min hated others for doubting him, so he walked out of the pavilion after saying this to the three girls.  Wen'er and the others were even more suspicious now. I hadn't heard of any preparations needed to use magic?  His Highness Prince Liang must be bragging again.

    Li Min went outside and called a waiting maid, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Then the maid left in a hurry, and soon handed the package to Li Min.  Li Min found a hidden place to open it and took a look, and found that it was indeed the saltpeter he wanted to use. This thing has been widely used in the Tang Dynasty. It can be found in pharmacies or dyeing shops. He just asked the maid to come from the royal doctor of the palace.  That's coming.

    "Hua'er, go get a bowl of water!" Hiding the saltpeter in his sleeve, Li Min entered the pavilion and ordered Hua'er very confidently.

    Hua'er fetched the water and put it on the table with a suspicious look on her face. Wen'er and Xijun also gathered around.  Li Min smiled mysteriously at the three women, covered the bowl with the wide sleeve of his left hand, and muttered a few words, "Eat grapes without spitting out grape skins" to stall for time, while the hand in the sleeve put the saltpeter into the bowl.  When it feels like it has frozen, then I will follow the example of the magic stick on TV in later generations, draw a circle in the sky with my right hand, point both fingers at the table and shout: "Tai Shang Laojun is as urgent as the law, change!"  "

    As Li Min shouted, he raised his sleeves and exposed the bowl. What was just a bowl of clear water turned into a bowl of cold ice.

    "Wow~" the three women shouted at the same time, and their suspicion immediately turned into incredulity. They didn't expect that Li Min actually turned water into ice, and he did it right before their eyes. There was no way it could be faked.  Wang Xijun even touched it with his fingers and found that it was indeed ice.

    "Your Majesty Your Majesty, are you really the reincarnation of a god as rumored by the outside world?" Wang Xijun is a person who has experienced in the shopping mall after all, and has strong concentration. He quickly recovered from the shock and stammered  Asked Li Min.  Although she didn't believe much in ghosts and gods, seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but not believe it. In her opinion, besides the power of gods and ghosts, what else could turn water into ice in this hot weather?

    "That must be the case. His Highness must be the reincarnation of a god. Hua'er is so lucky to be able to stay with His Highness day and night. It must be the blessing of my dead parents in heaven" Hua'er lost control of her emotions and crawled on the floor.  Li Min cried and said. The first few words could be heard clearly, but after that, she had no idea what she was talking about.  Wen'er was also frightened. She looked at Bing on the table and then turned to look at Li Min. Her eyes were wide open and she opened her mouth several times but didn't know what to say.

    Li Min was very satisfied with the reaction of the three women. Although his performance was full of flaws in the eyes of later generations, and the results were very ordinary. As long as he knew a little knowledge of chemistry, he could guess the mystery. However, the saltpeter system had not yet been discovered.  From the perspective of Bing Tang people, it is undoubtedly a 'spell' with extremely shocking effects.

    After a while, when Hua'er's emotions were almost vented, Wen'er stopped turning her little head back and forth in a daze, and Wang Xijun was already thinking hard about the mystery.  Li Xin smiled proudly and continued to brag: "Doesn't it feel incredible? I learned this after studying with an immortal for a long time!"

    This sentence attracted the attention of all the three girls, and the three little heads nodded in unison. Now they were not only in awe of Li Min, they even regarded him as a first-class god. They did not dare to have any doubts about Li Min's words.  Everyone stood there in a well-behaved manner, no longer as casual as before.

    "Hahaha~, it's so funny to see how you all look!" Li Min looked at the three girls and suddenly laughed loudly, with a look of a successful prank on his face. He smiled and collapsed with his belly in his arms.  On the chair, after a while, he gasped and pointed at them: "You you don't really believe that this young master can do any magic, do you?"

    "Your Highness, you are making fun of the maids again!" Seeing Li Min's appearance, Wen'er and Hua'er immediately said:After waking up, he stamped his feet angrily and said, having been together for so long, Li Min likes to make jokes between the two women when he is bored. Every time he succeeds, he always looks like this, which makes people hate him.  Wang Xijun was a little skeptical at first, but now he knew that he had been tricked by Li Min.  But they were also wondering: How did His Highness turn water into ice?

    Li Min laughed for a while, and finally stopped. Seeing the three little girls staring at him with resentful expressions, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he coughed lightly and said, "Okay.  , I stopped laughing, so 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 is no need to make all three of them angry.  After all, I have to rely on them to take care of my food, clothing, housing and transportation.

    "Really~, Your Highness, you are so kind!" Hua'er was easier to coax. After hearing Li Min's words, she immediately jumped up and hugged his arm and shouted happily.  Wen'er was not really angry to begin with. In fact, she liked Li Min joking with her from the bottom of her heart, because it made her feel very friendly. Wang Xijun was very eager to find out the reason for making ice. She felt that a business opportunity was right in front of her.  See if you can catch it?

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

    The eyes of the three girls were all focused on the white saltpeter in Li Min's hand. Wang Xijun had been doing business with his father since he was a child. He was well-informed. When he saw the saltpeter, he felt familiar. He reached out and picked up some and put it under his nose to smell it.  He smelled it, then stuck out his tongue to taste it, and said with great certainty: "Aren't these just ordinary saltpeters?"

    When Wang Xijun said this, Wen'er immediately remembered it and exclaimed: "Yes, this is saltpeter. Last time His Highness was injured, one of the medicines contained it was used in it."

    "Haha, I didn't expect that you two have very sharp eyesight. You recognized this thing right away." Li Min smiled unexpectedly, "Hua'er, go get some more water." Facts speak louder than words,  Instead of Li Min laboriously explaining that saltpeter absorbs heat when dissolved in water and freezes, it would be better to let them experience it for themselves.

    "Yes, Your Highness!" Hua'er agreed and quickly ran out to get water.

    But things always happened by chance. Just when Hua'er had brought the water and Li Min was about to show off in front of them, a servant suddenly came to report that several important guests were visiting.
