Qingliang Mountain is located between Heyu and Beiding, because of its special topography, every hot summer day is particularly cool, from the previous dynasty to build a palace there, become the summer resort of the successive sons of heaven.

But in the Mingkang period, because Emperor Ming Kang was obsessed with retreat and cultivation, he naturally had no time to go to Qingliang Mountain to escape the summer, and of course the nobles and hundreds of officials could not be stained.

At this time, the news of going to Qingliang Mountain to escape the summer came out, and all the prefectures in Beijing who were qualified to go were excited, especially the female dependents who could accompany them, and they had already begun to pack up.

Shao Mingyuan is undoubtedly on the travel list, and Qiao Zhao, as the champion, Mrs. Hou is also on the list.

Chi Can didn't like to get involved in these things, but the fact that the eldest princess of Changrong was pregnant planted a thorn in his heart, and now the eldest princess of Changrong had a lot of belly, and he was full of congestion every time he saw it, so he took the opportunity to go out of sight this time.

Ming Kangdi was resolute and soon came to the day of travel.

Countless luxurious carriages were escorted by the Praetorian Guards and slowly drove out of the capital and headed north.

The carriages were full of delicate and expensive people, and the speed was naturally not fast, and when it was time for lunch, they stopped halfway in front of the village and behind the shop.

When the scorching sun was in the sky, Emperor Ming Kangdi and the Queen Mother had a large group of eunuchs and palace maids waiting for them, especially the place where Emperor Ming Kangdi was resting was surrounded by ice basins, which were no different from those in the palace, but the others were miserable.

Whether it is a relative of the emperor or an important minister of the court, it is a fool's dream to want an ice basin to cool off, even if the two princes can only sit under the shade of the tree and rest.

Because King Rui has not yet married the princess, it is Li Jiao, who has just been named a side concubine, who accompanied King Rui on his trip this time.

At this moment, Li Jiao took a group fan to fan King Rui, and soon sweat broke out on the tip of his nose.

"Just let the maidservants come, and you can rest. King Rui was moved by Li Jiao's thoughtfulness and squeezed her hand.

"It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to travel with the prince, so naturally the prince should be taken care of. Li Jiao said softly.

A chuckle came: "Fifth brother is really a blessing." ”

King Rui looked at King Mu under the other tree.

King Mu was wearing a sky blue robe, with a handsome face, looking like a son and brother of a rich and noble family, and he was shaking a fan and smiling at the moment.

When Princess Mu heard King Mu say this, her face remained silent, and her eyes swept over Li Jiao.

Li Jiao lowered her eyebrows and continued to fan.

Princess Mu raised her eyebrows lightly, and sneered in her heart: He should be a concubine, and there are so many maids who don't have to fan themselves, they really do everything to please men.

Princess Mu glanced at King Mu again after thinking like this, and secretly sneered: Hateful men eat this, no wonder the concubines carry one after another.

King Rui is not as talkative as King Mu, he smiled when he said this, then withdrew his gaze, and said to Li Jiao: "Jiaoniang, this king heard that the champion Mrs. Hou is also here this time, do you want to go and say hello?"

Although Li Jiao was reluctant, she also vaguely understood that King Rui intended to win over the champion Hou, and it was inconvenient for King Rui to come forward at this time, so she went to say hello to her sister and no one could make a mistake.

can think that she is the eldest sister, but she took the initiative to greet her sister, and she felt a little aggrieved in her heart.

Of course, this thought was only for a moment, Li Jiao quickly sorted out his mood, and King Chong Rui showed a smile: "It just so happened that the concubine prepared some cool fruits to cool off the heat before going out, so I will send it to the third sister." ”

King Rui nodded in satisfaction.

The champion Hou has a high status, in fact, he is resting not far from them, and he can see the other party's movements when he turns his head, but King Rui has a lot of scruples, and it is not easy to show his closeness to Shao Mingyuan in front of people.

Li Jiao walked towards Qiao Zhao with the food box in his hand, and he couldn't take a step when he was only halfway there.

Under the lush canopy, Shao Mingyuan was taking a fan to fan Qiao Zhao, and the woman's soft laughter was sent over with the wind: "I'll just come by myself, where can I use you?"

"You're going to have a sore hand yourself. ”

"And Ice Green and Azhu. "This time, except for the nobles in the palace, everyone else pays attention to light cars and simple obedience, and Qiao Zhao only brought Binglu and Ah Zhu.

"How can a maid have my strength. The tall man sat with his back to Li Jiao, his voice hearty and gentle.

Li Jiao looked at it coldly, and then thought of the scene when she had carefully fanned King Rui just now, and her heart suddenly felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, and the pain made her almost unsteady on her feet.

For the first time, Li Jiao flashed the thought of regret.

If she was marrying someone at the time with her grandmother's arrangement, would that person do this to her?

But soon she dispelled the nonsense.

Grandmother is going to marry her to a farmer's family, not to mention fanning her with a man from that background, she is annoyed even if she lifts her shoes!

There is nothing to envy, as long as the prince can ascend the throne, she can at least be crowned a concubine, and Li San will still kneel to her when the time comes.

Princess Mu saw it in her eyes and chuckled.

A sister who comes out of the house has a completely different weight in a man's heart, which shows that people who are willing to be concubines are born cheap.

This chuckle made Li Jiao suddenly come back to his senses.

Although Princess Mu didn't say anything, she felt that her face was burning hot, and she hurriedly walked a few steps to Qiao Zhao.

Qiao Zhao was faintly surprised and looked at Li Jiao calmly.

As soon as Shao Mingyuan saw Li Jiao coming, he glanced at her coldly, and got up to avoid it with an expressionless face.

When he was in a hurry, Zhaozhao rode in a carriage, and finally looked forward to being able to say a few words when he was resting, but who knew that there were cats and dogs to disturb him.

Li Jiao was inexplicably chilled by Shao Mingyuan's glance, and reluctantly showed a smile under Qiao Zhao's calm gaze: "It's hot and everyone who rushes by suffers, so I brought some cold fruit for the third sister to taste." ”

Sensing a lot of eyes, Qiao Zhao smiled faintly: "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Li Jiao knew that going back like this would definitely make King Rui dissatisfied, so he racked his brains to find a topic: "Since I entered the palace, I rarely have the opportunity to go out, but I didn't expect to go to Qingliang Mountain with my third sister to escape the summer this time." By the way, I wonder how are grandmothers?"

Qiao Zhao smiled: "The eldest sister is worried about her grandmother, why don't you go back to Loei to have a look?"

Li Jiao touched a soft nail, sat dry for a moment and got up to go back.

Seeing this, Shao Mingyuan said to Chi Can: "I'll go back." ”

Ji Can couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Accidentally making friends, this is a typical heavy color light friend, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!

"Momosheng, hurry up and fan the master, I don't have any eyesight!"

After traveling for a few days, they finally arrived at Qingliang Mountain, and the honorable officials were arranged to live in courtyards of different specifications according to their status and grades, and they rested for two days before they recovered their spirits.

At this time, they received a letter: the emperor is in retreat again.

The retreat of the biggest masters in this summer resort is good news, and they can play and hunt in the deep mountains and dense forests as they please.

The officials and nobles were in high spirits, and soon spent a month comfortably in Qingliang Mountain.

And just when everyone was happy, Zhang Tianshi was worried.

The emperor has always been punctual, and he was supposed to leave the customs at sunset today, but why is it already the time to hold the lamp, and he hasn't come out yet?
