"Brother Qin, you also have eggs, look, I have some too!"
"Hmm..." When Qin Hexuan was a child in General Wen's Mansion, no one made these things for him.
But Mrs. Qin had prepared all these early this morning and insisted that he wear them.
Although he thought it was too childish, he had no choice but to wear it.
Qin Hexuan originally planned to take it down after entering the study, but Qingtian followed him in as soon as he entered the door, catching him off guard.
"Brother Qin, shall we have an egg fight?"
"Okay." Qin Hexuan was overjoyed when he heard that, and took off the net bag hanging around his neck.
The so-called egg fighting is actually two children hitting each other's eggs.
Round heads hit round heads, pointed heads hit pointed heads.
After the collision, the egg with an intact shell wins, and the one with a broken shell naturally loses.
So Qin Hexuan and Qingtian each occupied one end of the table and started to clash their eggs against each other.
The Sunny Egg is truly worthy of being the one chosen by Mr. Cen from among hundreds of people.
Whether it was a round head or a pointed head, it actually broke Qin Hexuan's egg, but it rolled back to Qingtian's hands intact.
"Ah, I won!" Qingtian cheered while holding the egg.
"Yeah, Qingtian is really amazing." Qin Hexuan did not feel defeated at all, and kept praising Qingtian.
Qingtian announced excitedly: "Grandpa said that after the egg fight, the egg that comes in first will be called the Big King, and the egg that comes in second will be called the Little King.
"So now one of us is the big king and the other is the little king."
"That's great. We both have titles." Qin Hexuan applauded her enthusiastically.
Wei Yan stood at the door for a long time. Seeing the two people having fun, Wei Yan, who had been silent, finally couldn't help laughing, and was immediately discovered by them.
"Good morning, Mr. Wei!" Qingtian greeted him energetically.
Qin Hexuan also stood up and saluted, and at the same time gave Song Tao a wink, asking him to pick up the broken eggs.
Just when he was feeling happy in his heart that he could finally get rid of Lixia's egg with a clear conscience, Qingtian actually stuffed her own egg into the net bag on Qin Hexuan's chest.
"My great-grandfather said that this egg would protect the child from getting sick.
"If I break your egg, it's definitely not as strong as mine.
"So I give you my eggs to keep you healthy and healthy this year."
After Qingtian finished speaking, he reached out and gently stroked the egg on his chest twice, as if telling his egg to bless Qin Hexuan obediently.
After hearing what Qingtian said, Qin Hexuan suddenly felt that the egg hanging on his chest was not so childish and unacceptable.
The clock in the corner rang "ding ding ding".
Wei Yan clapped his hands and said, "Alright, stop playing and start focusing. Hand in the homework from yesterday..."
Halfway through the morning study every day, Mrs. Qin would ask the servants to bring extra snacks to Mr. Wei and his two children.
Sometimes it is fruit, sometimes it is dessert, and sometimes it is some candied fruit or special snacks.
Qingtian has long been accustomed to eating it.
But what was delivered today was a little different from usual.
Two servants carried in a large object wrapped in a quilt.
After placing it on the table and removing the quilt, a large wooden box was revealed.
Qingtian moved closer curiously, then opened his eyes wide as if he had discovered a new world.
She stretched out her fingers and gently touched the wall of the box, then her expression became more and more surprised, and finally she put her entire palm against it.
"Brother Qin, what's in the box? Why does it feel cold?"
Qin Hexuan grabbed her hand and said, "Don't touch it for too long, it will freeze your palms.
"If you want to know what it is, just ask them to open it."
Upon hearing this, the servant of the Qin Mansion immediately opened the lid of the wooden box, and a burst of cool air immediately blew out from inside.
Qingtian was short and couldn't see what was inside the box, so he could only stare at it.
Qin Hexuan bent down, picked her up, and brought her to the edge of the wooden box.
Qingtian peeked inside the box by leaning against its side, only to see a large block of ice inside.
Three small crystal bowls filled with white yogurt were placed on top of the ice bricks.
There is a layer of crystal clear ice chips on the cheese.
The ice chips are decorated with various candied fruits.
There are also round transparent ice balls mixed in between the fruits.
"Wow--"
Qingtian sighed and stretched out his arm to touch the ice brick under the bowl. After confirming that it was real ice, he found it even more magical.
"Isn't it the beginning of summer today? Why is there still ice?"
"This is the winter ice stored in the palace's ice cellar. Every year on the beginning of summer, the emperor would order people to open the ice cellar to take out the ice, and then give it to the civil and military officials in the court.
"This is the palace's rule, it happens every year."
"What's an ice cellar? It can actually store ice from winter all the way to summer. It's amazing!"
Qingtian grew up outside the Great Wall and had seen ice and snow before, but he had never seen it after the summer, so he kept exclaiming in amazement.
Qin Hexuan took out three bowls of iced yogurt and placed them in front of Mr. Wei, Qingtian and himself respectively.
Song Tao quickly put spoons into the three people's bowls.
Qin Hexuan asked Mr. Wei to taste it first, and then said to Qingtian, "Don't worry about the ice cellar. Try it now before the ice melts!"
The icy cold yogurt is indeed more refreshing and delicious than any I’ve ever had before, and the various candied fruits that have been chilled are also crisper and sweeter.
