Jing Huaian stood and fanned her, "It's too hot here."
After thinking for a moment, he walked over and took the rocking chair next to him. "Your Highness, lie down. I'll fan you. You can take a nap."
Squatting was indeed tiring for her feet, so Yuchi Xi walked over and lay down. Jing Huaian fanned her gently, and the cool breeze made her feel a little sleepy.
Jing Huaian thought for a moment, took out a book from his arms, and began to read a story to her.
His voice was low and had a hypnotic effect.
Yuchi Xi was already feeling drowsy, and after hearing his voice, his eyelids started drooping and he fell asleep in a short while.
Jing Huaian listened to her long breathing, her voice gradually became lower and then slowly stopped.
He gently waved the round fan in his hand and called out to the secret guard, who landed not far behind him and knelt on one knee.
Because I was wearing too many clothes, my whole body was sweating and my hair was wet. "Master."
"Go and investigate what's going on here."
"Yes." The secret guard disappeared in a flash, leaving a pool of sweat where he had just kneeled.
Jing Huaian took a look and fell silent.
So, if it’s hot, can’t you just take off some clothes?
He didn't seem to have asked them to wear so much, right?
The secret guard also wanted to find out what was going on, and he worked very hard to find out. Not long after, he returned, "Master, I have learned that it suddenly became hot here one day."
"The people here don't know why, but one day they woke up and the temperature had started to rise. At first they thought it was normal and didn't pay much attention to it, but it kept getting hotter day by day. They couldn't stand the heat anymore, so they stopped going out to do their work and would only go out later at night when the temperature dropped a bit."
“I stay at home during the day.”
"Before, there were elderly people who were reluctant to use ice and died of heatstroke."
The temperature here is high, so naturally some businessmen thought of business opportunities and came here to sell ice cubes, but ice cubes are very expensive.
Jing Huaian hummed softly, "I understand."
"Look around, and if you have any other news, tell me."
"Also, you don't need to wear such thick clothes. It's so hot here. You can wear less clothes..."
"Or do you not have money to buy new clothes? If you don't have money, I will give you money to buy them."
Don’t die of heat!
The secret guard was touched. "I have money. I just thought you would want us to wear these clothes..."
Jing Huaian: ...I never said that!
"Next time, don't think that I won't eat you. Just ask me directly."
Jing Huaian waved his hand, "Go down and change your clothes!"
"yes!"
The secret guard disappeared in a flash, and he returned to the group of secret guards and told them what Jing Huaian said. The secret guards, who had been unable to bear the heat for a long time, quickly took off several coats.
"I thought the master would want us to wear these clothes without changing!"
He bought several identical sets of clothes.
"Me too... It's so hot, I don't even dare to take off my clothes. I didn't expect that the master didn't intend for us to wear this all the time!"
"If I had known this, I would have taken off my clothes as soon as I arrived in this city!"
"That's right, I'm so hot! I feel so much cooler after taking off this dress!"
"It's just that showing arms and legs, isn't that a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that? We're secret guards, hiding in the dark. No one can see us anyway. Even if you're only wearing a pair of shorts, no one will notice you!"
"That's true. We're secret guards anyway, so we should do whatever's best to keep cool. I'll continue taking off my clothes then. It's really too hot."
After hearing what he said, the secret guard took off all his clothes except for his underpants.
"Ah! It's much cooler now! How refreshing it would be if I could soak in ice water at this time!"
The secret guards looked at each other, their eyes lit up, "I have an idea, I wonder if I should tell you about it?"
"speak!"
"We can go out in groups to investigate, and the rest of you can stay here and soak in the ice water. We'll all pay for the ice. How about that?"
"That's a good idea, I agree!"
"I agree too!"
After a few people discussed it, they pooled their money to buy a lot of ice cubes, and also bought a few buckets of water and a super large wooden barrel. They poured the water in and put some ice cubes in. When they stepped in, they immediately sighed with comfort.
"It's really comfortable, but it's also really expensive!"
"Why does water here have to be bought with silver?"
"Who made it so hot here that the well water ran dry?"
"Actually, we can also get some water to sell, and we can make a lot of money that way..."
"With your brain, it would be a shame if you didn't go into business."
…
The secret guards were discussing heatedly. Meanwhile, Yuchi Xi had a good sleep. When she woke up, it was already getting dark. Yuchi Xi stretched herself and looked at Jing Huaian with an apologetic look on her face. "Brother Jing, I seem to have slept for a long time..."
"Thanks a lot!"
He seemed to be fanning her all the time.
"It's not hard." Jing Huaian's lips curled up, "For someone like me who practices martial arts, this is nothing."
"Is your Highness the little princess ready for dinner?"
"Yeah, I'm a little hungry!" Yuchi Xi touched his stomach, "Let's go out for dinner!"
Jing Huaian nodded, holding a wooden bucket filled with ice in one hand and fanning himself with a round fan in the other, and looked at her, "Let's go!"
