Mrs. Huo pointed to the melon on the tray and said, "Take it yourself. No need to be polite to me."
She took a piece first, and then A Yan and the others took turns to take the melon and eat it.
After eating this, the master and servant were all stunned.
"Sure enough, the melon that the little fox took out is extraordinary. It's much more delicious than the red jade melons that were tributed in the past!" Xiao Linzi said incoherently while gnawing on the melon.
Others felt the same way.
In the end, the whole watermelon was shared and eaten by the master and servants.
It was only enjoyable while eating, but not long after finishing, their stomachs started to churn. Several people couldn't help but hold their stomachs with painful expressions on their faces. They all stood up and left their seats to go to the place where grains are recycled to take care of their urgent needs.
Xue Huan knew what was going on. Watermelon contained spiritual energy, which would produce a detoxifying effect similar to cleansing the essence and marrow after entering the human body. Her body had been cleansed by the spiritual energy and was as clear and pure as ever. She had also undergone cleansing of the essence and marrow before, and the impurities in her body had been almost eliminated, so there would be no special reaction after eating the spiritual fruit.
But it was the first time for the Huo family members to eat it, so their reactions were naturally a bit strong.
Why didn't Xue's mother and the others go through this detoxification process? Actually, they did, but it wasn't as intense because the spiritual spring water Xue Huan gave them to drink at the beginning was diluted, and gradually, the impurities were excreted from the body bit by bit during this process.
Later on, their bodies had naturally become accustomed to the spiritual energy, and eating the spiritual fruits she took out of her space was just like eating ordinary fruits.
When they came back, although their walking posture was a little weak, their complexion had improved a lot.
Xiao Linzi spontaneously ran to boil water.
When you go to the toilet to detoxify, your body will inevitably be contaminated with some unpleasant odors, which is really unbearable in the hot summer. You still have to wash yourself to feel refreshed.
A Yan and A Ning smelled the strange smell on her body and did not dare to get close to Mrs. Huo for fear of suffocating her.
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "You guys go wash up too."
While taking a shower, Mrs. Huo looked at the gray-black oily stains seeping out of her skin and guessed that these might be the toxins hidden in her body.
After taking a shower, she felt that her skin was whiter, firmer and smoother, and her body was more relaxed, as if she had returned to her teenage years, and the heavy feeling in her heart was less.
In this case, how could she not know that this was a great opportunity given to her and others by the little fox?
After changing her clothes and coming out, she couldn't help but pick up the little fox, rubbed its head against it, and said solemnly: "Thank you."
Xue Huan's pair of green fox eyes curved, and she was obviously smiling.
A Yan and A Ning naturally also felt the benefits. They came out of the house and looked at each other, and saw the great joy in each other's eyes.
Xiao Linzi had to boil water for the three of them, so he didn't have time to wash. A Yan walked to the small kitchen and said, "Okay, I'll boil it. You should go wash it too. It's so stinky."
As he said this, he fanned his nose with his hand.
Xiao Linzi chuckled twice, looked up at A Yan, and was dumbfounded, "Sister A Yan, how come you suddenly become so beautiful?"
A-Yan looked good before, but after this detoxification, her complexion has improved a lot. Her skin looks fair and rosy, and her eyes are moist and bright. Hasn't her appearance been improved to a higher level?
She snorted lightly, a smile spreading across her brows, "Wasn't I pretty before?"
Xiao Linzi stuttered, "No, no, it looked good before, and it looks even better now."
Ah Yan was obviously pleased by such straightforward compliments, "Okay, you're the only one with a sweet mouth, go wash up."
In the room, Aning looked at the pile of fruits again and could no longer treat them normally. These were not ordinary fruits, they were clearly fairy fruits!
"My Lady, what should we do with these fruits? Won't the rats eat them?"
Mrs. Huo burst out laughing. She hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Why don't we put the fruit in a basket and hang it in the well? That way we can store it for a long time without worrying about it spoiling, and we can also prevent it from being eaten by rats."
"Your Majesty is so thoughtful. I'll do it right away!" Aning carefully put the fruits into a basket and hung it in the well.
There was a small kitchen in Fengzhang Palace, and there was a well in the courtyard outside the kitchen. Thanks to this well, they did not starve to death.
Since Fengzhang Palace was confined, there were people guarding it outside at all times. The palace maids were not allowed to go out at will, and all their allowances had to be delivered by people outside.
But now that the harem is controlled by the Imperial Concubine, how could the Imperial Concubine let the Queen have an easy time? Without her explicit orders, the people below would guess her intentions and help get things done.
So the things delivered to us are either broken or rotten, and there are very few good ones.
Fortunately, there is always a way out. Among the guards guarding Fengzhang Palace, there was one who had once received the favor of the Queen. This man took the initiative to find A Yan and asked her if she needed any help.
A Yan got rid of him and brought in some vegetable and crop seeds. The master and servants pulled out all the flowers and plants in the garden and started growing vegetables and crops instead.
In this way, I can eat fresh vegetables.
In this process, the well in the small kitchen patio played a huge role. Without this well, how could they grow vegetables?
In the room, Mrs. Huo was carefully combing the fur of Xue Huan, the fake fox, with a comb. Xue Huan felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
But she still had two things she wasn't done with.
Xue Huan patted the back of Mrs. Huo's hand with her little paw, signaling her to open her hands. Mrs. Huo didn't understand why, but still did as she asked.
The next moment, a sachet appeared in her palm.
The third time she saw the little fox take something out of thin air, Mrs. Huo was no longer as surprised as she was at the beginning. She opened the brocade bag and found a folded piece of paper inside. After opening it and seeing the contents inside, she was stunned.
She looked at the little fox lying obediently on her legs, and the shock in her eyes faded away after a while. The little fox must have known that she had no ice to use, so she gave her the recipe and asked her to make ice herself, so that she would not have to worry about not having ice in the future.
I wonder where this little fox came from? Is it really just a little fox with human nature? Or... the legendary vixen?
However, even if it is a fox spirit, it is a good fox spirit, much better than those hypocritical people.
Thinking of this, Huo's shaken mood slowly calmed down.
When An Ning came in, she handed the prescription to her. An Ning took it and looked at it, she was shocked and said, "My Lady, this prescription..."
"This was given to me by the little fox. Go to the pharmacy and see if you can buy saltpeter. If you can, let's give it a try."
Ah Ning was very excited, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
