Chapter 80: Searching for Summer Escape

Even if he was sweating lightly, he didn't lose half of his color, and in the middle of summer, he went to Yanying Hall under the sun, but his clothes were a little wet, and he felt a little cooler when he entered Yanying Palace, and the heat brought in from outside the hall instantly dispersed a lot.

Liqing has to deal with national affairs on weekdays, this Yanying Hall is naturally not very hot, the province of the Inner Servant prepared the ice early, put it in the pottery barrel and put it in the Yanying Hall in turn, and the cold emitted by the ice in the hall also relieved a lot of summer fatigue for Liqing. It's just that this summer heat can't be solved by some ice after all, and I still feel a little stuffy after a long time.

Entering the hall from the outside, after bowing to An, he called Liqing to summon him, got up and took a bowl of freshly chilled white fungus lotus seed soup from Liqing's hand, and felt that the heat was gone. From the time Qin Shujiu entered the hall to the time she drank the lotus seed soup, Liqing didn't look up, but waited for Yu Shan to step forward and take the celadon bowl, and then Liqing said: "Where did you just come from, look at this body is hot and humid." ”

Liqing's eyes have always been poisonous, Qin Shujiu went directly to Yanying Hall to face the saint without changing his clothes, and he understood it at a glance. Although Liqing knew a little bit in his heart, it was not possible to sue Concubine De in this hall, after all, no one knew that there were any cronies of Concubine De in Yanying Palace, and immediately Qin Shujiu just smiled and said: "It's not anywhere, it's just that the sky outside is too stuffy, and I sweat all over my body." lost his manners in front of His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame your concubines for not knowing etiquette. ”

Qin Shujiu is the most sensible person, but he also thinks about Liqing in everything, seeing that she has suffered a crime and does not forget to hide it for fear that she will know, Liqing opened her mouth and said: "I know everything, you don't have to hide it, but you just came from Luting?" ”

Now that Liqing is clear, Qin Shujiu no longer dares to deceive the saint, but nods his head in response, and after that, Liqing said: "I have also wronged you and Die'er." After the words fell, he raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Shan, and Yu Shan, who understood his intentions, led the serving attendants to withdraw from the Yanying Palace, and waited for the people in the Yanying Hall to retreat, and then Liqing said: "I know what is wrong with this matter, but Concubine De has always doted on that brother, and the hussar general is also the only favorite son, so I can't make the decision for you and blame him, but I can only wronged you." ”

He knew about this matter, but even if he understood it in his heart, in order to stabilize the border war, it was not said that it was the concubine who suffered this grievance, even if the face of the heavenly family caused people to lose Liqing, he did not frown here. Liqing cares about Jiang Guosheji, as long as it is stable Jiang Guo's government, no matter who suffers from this grievance, even if this grievance is the woman next to him, he will avoid the important and ignore it.

Liqing is such a person, it was like this a long time ago, how could Qin Shujiu not know, so after listening to his words, Qin Shujiu just smiled obediently and then said.

"What Your Majesty said about the concubines are all clear, and the concubines and Sister Su are not unreasonable people, so they naturally understand Your Majesty's hardships. The war in the northwest has been urgent, but the Yuwen clan is also good at fighting, and the one who can fight against the Korean army is the Tuoba Wang army. General Yun Lu has made great contributions to the society of the country, how could the concubine and Sister Su be angry because of this matter, besides, General Yun Lu lives on the battlefield all the year round, and he is also cheerful and upright, if there is really a conflict, it is also a misunderstanding. If the concubine and Sister Su are punished for the brother's affairs too quickly, it is also because of the same root, the stumbling of compatriots, and it is human nature that there is no resentment. ”

Obviously, he was wronged, but what he said excused people everywhere, but it also helped this Yu Wenhao get rid of his contempt for the royal family. Tianwei can't be offended, but when he asked Qin Shujiu to say this, everything seemed to be a misunderstanding, if it was just a misunderstanding, it would be easy to say.

Qin Shujiu's mind was clear, and it was also because of her generosity and generosity that she cherished her even more, so she just smiled and said: "I look at what you have done, Die'er didn't make trouble in this matter, and you persuaded me to persuade you, you blocked a difficult thing for me, but I want me to reward you." ”

Reward and punishment, Liqing is also a person with clear rewards and punishments, Qin Shujiu is so sensible, he can't always let his beauty be wronged and swallow it in his stomach, that is, he asked her what reward she wanted, and Liqing would be satisfied with everything she wanted. Liqing's reward is naturally good, but at the moment, Qin Shujiu is not lacking in anything, so it is difficult for Liqing to make this reward, and he was silent for a moment and did not answer in a hurry, but waited for Liqing to ask Qin Shujiu again before he said.

"If Your Majesty really wants to reward your concubines, then you will be exempted from Sister Su's punishment."

Under the heat, I always have to clean the Lu Ting, although it is not late autumn, but there are many locust trees planted in the Lu Pavilion, the locust trees bloom in summer, the wind blows through the flowers all over the tree, and the thin stamens are really difficult to clean, which is really a headache. The ground is full of white stamens, but the punishment given by Concubine Nalide is to clean up there, and the punishment is a bit heavy. This kind of punishment can still be endured for a day or two, but if it takes a long time, it will be really hard work. Since Liqing said the reward, she also had the courage to ask for forgiveness for Su Die, so as not to really hurt her body.

Qin Shujiu would say such a reward, and Liqing guessed a few points in her heart, but after saying it from her mouth, she couldn't help but feel lost, so she said: "My reward is rare, you really don't ask for something for yourself?" Butterfly's punishment will be spared, and you don't have to waste it. After speaking, he looked at Qin Shujiu and planned to give her another chance, but Qin Shujiu really didn't ask for anything, so he thanked him and said: "The concubine has nothing to ask for, what Your Majesty gave to the concubine is excellent, and the concubine is already satisfied." ”

How can such a person who has nothing to ask for and nothing to hope for not like Liqing to dislike since she doesn t expect those things outside her body, then Liqing is not reluctant, but she already feels that she is wronged, even if Qin Shujiu is unwilling to ask for something for herself, Liqing will also be rewarded there, even if she looks at her Liqing said.

"Since you don't want anything, how about I reward you with something else?"

"Your Majesty is in charge?"

Liqing opened his mouth to make Qin Shujiu puzzled, and immediately looked at Liqing, and after looking at it for a long time, Qin Shujiu asked, "What does Your Majesty plan to reward your concubines?" ”

Puzzled by the inquiry, Liqing did not respond in a hurry but chuckled at Shang Qin Shujiu's eyes, and only after seeing her so confused did he say: "The midsummer is hot, and the palace is burning more and more, and the heat is unbearable, which inevitably makes people feel bored." At this time in previous years, I issued a decree to move the Taiye Palace to escape the heat and boredom, but this year's political affairs have been slow, but I think about it for a few days. Although I don't know if Shu'er also finds this summer unbearable, I still want to reward you for driving with you. How is it? But I have to accept this reward. ”

It is also a reward from His Majesty to be able to drive to the Taiye Palace to escape the heat and relieve boredom in the summer heat, how can Qin Shujiu not receive this reward, it is a gift from Liqingkai, she naturally accepts the grace, and immediately owes himself and thanks: "If you can go to the Taiye Palace with Your Majesty, it will be the blessing of the concubine, and the concubine will bow to Your Majesty Longen here." ”

"Thank you, you don't have to." Laughing at Qin Shujiu and then flattening his body, Liqing picked up the fold next to him and read it, criticizing the fold is a troublesome thing, after getting up, Qin Shujiu quietly walked behind Liqing, and then lightly beat Liqing's shoulder to relieve fatigue. While gently beating Qin Shujiu, he moved his gaze to the side, his eyes turned slightly, and after thinking about it in his heart, Qin Shujiu asked as if unintentionally: "Your Majesty, this trip is to move to the Taiye Palace to escape the summer, and Your Majesty has personally given which concubines to follow." ”

"Which ones?" Seeing Qin Shujiu asking about the fold that Liqing put in his hand for the time being, he then said: "Although Taiye Palace is a good place to escape the summer, it is not something that all concubines can drive with them, and it takes some thought to take some effort to drive with them every year. ”

"Your Majesty is tired, according to the concubines, it seems that there is no need to spend so much thought, and whoever Your Majesty orders is whoever you drive."

These words made Liqing smile, raised his hand and patted it twice on the slender hand on his shoulder, Liqing said: "How can this matter be as light as you said, but I have also made arrangements, the queen is unwell, and under this scorching heat, she should go to the palace to escape the heat, as for the concubine Defei and Concubine Xian, the three of them have always followed, but this year is no exception." After a pause, Liqing continued: "No one in the palace will be able to control it in the end, yesterday Concubine Shu's request to stay in the palace, I also responded, she is in this palace, I can rest assured." As for the other concubines, I allowed Lai Zhaoyi to dream of Jieyu and Weng Cairen to accompany them. ”

The person who drove with Li Qing already had a score in his heart, and Qin Shujiu was also listening, when he listened to the person appointed by Liqing but did not see Su Die, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but say lightly: "That Sister Su? ”

If Su Die didn't accompany Su Die, Qin Shujiu always felt that something was missing in his heart, but he was not afraid of the holy will and mentioned it softly, and her mention also reminded Liqing, so she responded: "Yes, why did you forget that there is still Die'er, this time I wronged her, so let Die'er be together." ”

Su Die also got the will, Qin Shujiu thanked him, and then went down to the hall to thank Longen, Qin Shujiu was slightly happy in his heart.

Moving to the Taiye Palace to escape the summer is a major event in midsummer, and the Inner Servant Province naturally arranged it early in the morning, waiting for Liqing's approval. Therefore, Liqing's will has only been made for a few days, and everything has been sorted out. His Majesty agreed that the concubines would move to the Taiye Palace with them, and the momentum was also immense.

His Majesty must be personally attached to the palace guards, and the only one who can win Liqing's trust must be General Yan Yanyan, who drove to the Taiye Palace with the monarch and the king, and looked at the palace, which was also clear. In this Taiye Palace, Qin Shujiu lived in the Narui Bath Palace, while Su Die and Weng Shishi lived in the Ice Rain Palace and Ruohui Palace respectively. The three palaces belong to Su Die and Qin Shujiu, which are relatively close, and as for the Weng master, it is a little farther away, but you have to walk a better way to get there.

After getting off the sedan chair and bowing to the holy grace, Qin Shujiu went to the Ruiyu Palace under the waiting of the palace people and the chamberlain, and when he entered the dormitory, he was greeted by a burst of coolness. Because they were worried that the concubines and concubines could not stand the heat in the palace at the beginning, the early attendants took care of everything, and the palace put the ice cubes that had just been taken from the ice cellar and placed them in the standing bronze utensils made of copper everywhere in the palace. The shape of the vessel is like the independence of the golden rooster of the proud bird, and it also resembles the copper flower inserted in the bronze vessel. Although everything seems to be very different in form and beautiful in mind, they all have similarities.

After entering the Rui Bath Palace, the curtain and Nanzhi looked in the hall, and when they saw the copper vessels everywhere in the palace, the curtain became discouraged, and they looked at the secret of the copper vessels. Although the bronze objects are different in shape, but each bronze ware is hollow, the bronze can be removed, and the ice cube is put into it after unloading, and the bronze body has a circular hole with the same shape, and if the ice melts the cold air, it will overflow from the hole, and it will be cool with the wind, and the bottom of the bronze ware is through the crypt, and the ice water that has melted down the cave will also flow into the ground, and it will not wet the temple.

After listening carefully to the explanation of the waiter, he tried to move the bronze vessel away, and the burst of coolness overflowed to surprise the two of them, and then the curtain smiled and said: "This thing in the Taiye Palace is really novel, and there is no such a novel thing in the palace, which is really likable." Beauty, look, the edge of this copper vessel is really cool, and the heat is dissipated here. ”

The edge of the copper dish was indeed very cool, and as soon as she walked in from outside the hall, she smiled and looked at Qin Shujiu, and also stepped forward to take a cool, but of course Qin Shujiu was not as unruly as them, so he just smiled and then looked at the Ruiyu Palace.

Rui bath palace is accompanied by the Taiye Lake in the palace, push open the window to see out is the Taiye Lake Pool, the lotus flowers in the lake have already opened, look at the emerald green pink lotus protrusions, some of the buds and some compete to open, high and low, far and near, the green in the little powder scattered, but also let people look at the heart is comfortable.

looked at the lotus flowers outside, but he also lost a few points, but he came back to his senses when Nanzhi came to Qin Shujiu. Because he was speechless and speechless at Qin Shujiu, Nanzhi walked over, and then stood next to Qin Shujiu, admiring the lotus scenery outside, and after watching it silently for a while, Nanzhi asked, "Sister, are you looking at this pond full of lotuses?" ”

After asking a word, Qin Shujiu smiled and said, "Yes, the lotus flowers in this Taiye Palace are blooming very brightly, but people can't help but take a few more looks." There was a little unclear smile in the soft exclamation, if Su Die listened to such a light sigh, she would have doubted what she said before that she didn't like lotus flowers.

Qin Shujiu's feeling of treating this lotus flower is not clear in words, Nanzhi didn't ask any more, looking at Qin Shujiu, although he responded to his words, but his eyes always looked at the pond lotus outside the house, Nanzhi didn't want to disturb her, his body retreated slightly and was about to return Qin Shujiu a clean, but there were guests in this Rui Bath Palace.

He had just gotten off the sedan chair and entered his palace, but before the heat on his body had dissipated, Su Die rushed over, and was entering from outside the hall at this time. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate of the Ruiyu Palace, Qin Shujiu listened to her voice and couldn't help laughing.

"Nanzhi, it seems that this day will not be quiet." The smile in the words was not half displeased, and Nan Zhi also sighed and said: "If my sister wanted to be clean, I shouldn't have reminded Your Majesty that I should bring Su Jieyu with me, if she didn't come with her, Nan Zhi would have made sure that my sister could be cleaner." ”

The words of sighing and sighing made the smile in Qin Shujiu's eyes deeper, Su Die was outside, and she no longer went back to Nanzhi, but saw her secretly laughing at her mouth becoming more and more unkind, and then Qin Shujiu came out to greet her.
