The weather is getting hotter, and the summer solstice has passed in a blink of an eye, and people are a little tired. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Just after noon, a wave of tiredness swept Su Dai, she supported her chin slightly with one hand, her eyes were lightly closed, and she was lazily lying on the beauty couch, three thousand green silk poured on the couch like a waterfall, and only wore a silver-red chebula on her upper body, and her shoulders were as delicate as fat. Holding a fan in her hand, she gently played the wind for her, the curtains in the house hung low, the incense was swirling, and the intoxicating sunlight was slanted through the carved windows, creating a hazy atmosphere.

Mama Xu lifted the bead curtain in the inner room with one hand and came in, and saw such a picture, she couldn't help frowning, coughed lightly, Su Dai gradually woke up, and saw Mama Xu frowning and looking at herself, and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "The palace is a little hot." ā€

Mama Xu glared at Luo Zhi, and then said to Su Dai: "Then you can't dress like this, others will laugh at Niangniang." After speaking, he took a blue gown and served Su Dai to put it on.

Su Dai said helplessly: "Where are there any others here?" ā€

Luo Zhi also said on the side: "Yes, Mama, Niangniang is extremely afraid of the heat, and now there are no other people in the palace besides Mama?" ā€

Mama Xu waited for Su Dai to change into a gown, and reprimanded Luo Zhi: "Niangniang is confused, you are also making trouble?" It's just that it's hot again, just go to Shangshang Food Bureau to get some ice. ā€

Su Dai thought about the dog days in the future, and felt a little depressed in his heart: "It's so hot in this palace, how can this palace stand it?" ā€

"The red bricks of Ligong City absorb heat, and after a few days, Your Majesty will go to Yuhuatai to escape the summer, and it will be much better for Niangniang to follow when she arrives." Mama Xu comforted.

As he was talking, Saihan hurried in from outside the hall, holding a food box in his hand, and said happily: "Niangniang, the slave maid just went to the imperial dining room, and the aunt there said that she made some iced sour plum soup, and the slave maid gave some to Niangniang to taste. ā€

When Su Dai heard this, he smiled and said, "Iced sour plum soup? Hongu has never eaten it yet. Saihan hurriedly filled a small bowl and handed it to Su Dai: "Niangniang taste it." ā€

Su Dai took a small sip and praised: "It's cold and delicious, it's really a weapon to cool off." She just took a sip, as if she thought of something, so she put down the bowl and instructed Saihan: "Your Majesty has been staying in the Qingxin Hall for days to deal with government affairs, and the heat is unbearable, you can go to the imperial dining room to bring some sour plum soup over, and send some to the Qingxin Hall with the palace." ā€

In the Lingxi Palace, Fang Fei fanned Sheng Han'an, Sheng Han'an was a little irritable: "Why is it so hot this day?" Fang Fei comforted: "It's good to go to Yuhuatai in a few days." ā€

Sheng Han'an was a little impatient: "Why don't you go to Yuhuatai this year to escape the heat, the weather is so hot, the palace can't stand the heat." ā€

Fang Fei pondered for a while, and then pondered: "Do you want to go to the concubine Niangniang to find out the news?" Sheng Hanan frowned: "Where is my aunt?" My aunt has been getting too close to the one in Weiyang Palace recently, and I don't want to go to this palace. Fang Fei paused when she heard this, and then said: "Your Majesty has been staying in the Qingxin Palace recently, I heard that I haven't been to Weiyang Palace for several days, if Niangniang behaves well in front of Your Majesty at this time, so that Your Majesty knows that this hot time, Niangniang is also worried about Your Majesty, maybe Your Majesty will summon Niangniang to Yiyuan Hall tonight." ā€

Sheng Han'an's apricot eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered: "You go to the imperial dining room and ask them to make some lotus heart and lotus leaf porridge, and this palace will personally send it to the Qingxin Palace, so that Your Majesty can know the heart of this palace." ā€

Huan Yanqi watched Concubine Yi's shoulder stop steadily in front of the Qingxin Palace, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The slave knocked on Concubine Yi's mother." ā€

The corners of Su Dai's lips pulled out a seven-point smile and said: "Why does the chief steward need to be so polite, Your Majesty has been dealing with government affairs for days, thanks to the chief steward serving Your Majesty closely, this palace is very grateful in my heart." Today, I came to send His Majesty some sour plum soup to relieve the heat, and I also specially brought some for the chief manager. The heat is unbearable, and the chief manager also drinks some to cool off in order to better serve His Majesty. ā€

Huan Yuqi heard this, and hurriedly saluted again, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Concubine Yi Niangniang is not tormenting the slave, serving Your Majesty is the slave's business, you sent sour plum soup to Your Majesty and brought some to the slave too, Niangniang is too polite." ā€

Saihan hurriedly stepped forward and handed a food box to Huan Yuqi, who took the food box and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is reviewing the folds inside, and the slave will pass it on for Niangniang." ā€

Su Dai smiled and bowed slightly: "There is the general manager of Laoda." ā€

After a while, Huan Yanqi came out of the hall and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked Niangniang to go in quickly." The sun outside is poisonous, so it's not good to get more sun below. Su Dai accepted Huan Zhiqi's affection and said with a smile: "The chief manager is polite." ā€

Huan Yanqi watched Su Dai enter the Qingxin Palace, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, as soon as this Concubine Yi entered the palace, His Majesty was favored, and she was not arrogant or impatient, but she was a little better than Concubine Ning and Sheng Jieyu.

"The concubine greets Your Majesty." Su Dai saluted.

Rong Bingye raised his head and looked at Su Dai, and said with a smile: "Why did Zhuo Zhuo come over?" Su Dai took the food box from Saihan's hand, stepped forward, put the food box on the table, and said with a sly wink: "Your Majesty has been handling government affairs in the Qingxin Palace for the past few days, and the concubine is worried about Your Majesty, so she specially brought some sour plum soup for Your Majesty to cool off, and by the way, she also asked Your Majesty to be busy." ā€

Rong Bingye laughed when he heard this: "Zhuo Zhuo will think about me." ā€

Su Dai smiled: "It's not all, the concubine misses Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has been very busy these two days." If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain. That's what Burning learned. ā€

Rong Bingye stretched out his hand and pulled Su Dai over to sit on his lap, his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness: "There are too many folds these days, but I even put aside going to Yuhuatai to escape the summer, I heard that you are very afraid of the heat, I quickly dealt with these government affairs, and took you to Yuhuatai." After a pause, he said: "But this is the first time Zhuo Zhuo has gone to Yuhuatai to escape the summer, and Zhuo Zhuo can go back today so that the people in the palace can start preparing for the things to go to Yuhuatai." ā€

Su Dai wrapped his arms around his neck, and his smile rippled like jade in the heart lake: "But what happened to the court, Your Majesty is so embarrassed?" ā€

Rong Bingye shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just that the grassland is a barbarian tribe that has come to intrude again, and it's not a big deal." ā€

The Naijuerqin tribe has been at odds with the Uzhuerqin tribe for generations, and the king of the Naibarian Khan is ambitious, he wanted to rely on a strong army to annex Uzhuerqin, but because Uzhuerqin surrendered to the Great Chu, he has always had the full support of the Great Chu, and the Naibarian tribe did not get any benefits, but often returned defeated, so the Naiban Khan King held a grudge and harassed the border of the Great Chu all the year round, despite this, the Great Chu did not take it to heart, in the eyes of the Great Chu, the intrusion of the Naiban tribe was not worth mentioning at all.

Su Dai understood, so he didn't mention it anymore, but just picked some interesting things and said to Rong Bingye.
