"promise!"
After receiving the order, Zhao Zhong hurriedly had coal brought in and installed the stove. To avoid choking the people, Zhao Zhong also carefully had a layer of charcoal placed in the stove before putting in the coal.
Before long, the coal in the furnace was ignited, and the eight coal furnaces began to emit bursts of heat.
"good!"
As the temperature inside the palace gradually rose, Dou Miao and Madam Dong couldn't help but nod.
Seeing the Empress Dowager and the Holy Mother's satisfied expressions, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face as well.
"Now that this matter is settled, this servant will take her leave!"
After giving detailed instructions to the palace maids and eunuchs serving in Chang Le Palace, Zhao Zhong bowed and approached Dou Miao and Lady Dong.
Dou Miao nodded and looked at Zhao Zhong, "Go and select a few more of these coal stoves and coal, and deliver them to the three ladies' homes!"
"promise!"
"We thank the Empress Dowager and the Holy Mother for their gifts!"
After Zhao Zhong left, the three ladies hurriedly stepped forward to thank Dou Miao and Madam Dong, unable to contain their joy.
With this wonderful thing, we can have a warm winter.
Dou Miao smiled and said, "There's no need for that! You've worked so hard preparing meals for the emperor these past few days, and this is all you deserve! It would be a good thing for you to take these good things back with you, wouldn't it?"

The three ladies smiled knowingly upon hearing this, and then their laughter echoed again in the warm Chang Le Palace.

Yuan Feng's eyes widened, and he shouted, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? Hurry up!"
"Oh well!"
The coachman quickly agreed, then lashed out with his whip and mounted the horse.
The horse pulling the carriage felt pain and immediately sped up, causing Yuan Feng to stumble backward and almost fall inside. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and regained his balance.
Unfortunately, just as Yuan Feng had settled into his seat, the carriage wheels, which were accelerating, suddenly ran into a pothole in the road.
With a thud, the carriage jolted, and Yuan Feng, who had just settled into his seat, was thrown high into the air before falling heavily back down.
"Hiss~"
The sharp pain in his buttocks made Yuan Feng gasp involuntarily.
