After Zhou Cairen knew the news that the emperor was going to take someone to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer, he sat alone in the room for a long time, and finally went to Ruichang Palace.

When Zhou Cairen went to Ruichang Palace, Qingzhi, Qingdai and others were packing up the things that Lu Yuning and the fourth princess were going to bring with them during the summer vacation.

Zhou Cairen tentatively mentioned this summer trip to Lu Yuning, "I didn't expect the emperor to go to Qingning Mountain for summer vacation this year, Niangniang must be among the entourage this time, right?" ”

Lu Yuning shook his head and said: "Now the list of entourages has not come out yet, who can say for sure, it's just to pack it up first." ”

Zhou Cairen smiled and said, "With the emperor's favor for Niangniang, if Niangniang is not among the entourage, there is no hope for the others." ”

Lu Yuning glanced at Zhou Cairen, frowned slightly, and said, "No one can say what the emperor thinks, anything is possible before the list comes out." ”

After saying this, Lu Yuning didn't want to continue to talk to Zhou Cairen on this topic, but changed the topic and said: "I just made a new incense yesterday, the taste is very fresh and elegant, it is just right to burn in this hot weather, you smell it, do you like it?" ”

Zhou Cairen was thinking about how to mention to Lu Yuning just now about taking her to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer, and he didn't notice that Lu Yuning had changed incense here.

At this time, Lu Yuning mentioned it, and she noticed that the fragrance in the hall was indeed different from the past, and it was lighter than the fragrance in the past, just like the breeze caressing the mountains, bringing bursts of light fragrance, quiet and far-reaching.

It is indeed a kind of incense that is very suitable for burning in the hot summer, but Zhou Cairen is really not interested in incense at this time.

However, on the surface, she still praised: "The incense prepared by the mother is naturally not bad." ”

Lu Yuning said: "If you like it, bring some back to use it later." ”

Zhou Cairen heard the words and said: "The concubine thanked the mother first, but even if there is such a good incense, the summer in Beijing this year is still very difficult, and the concubine has been unable to calm down by the hot weather these days." ”

Zhou Cairen's words were already very clear, but Lu Yuning still didn't directly promise her anything.

This time, the list of accompanying people who went to Qingning Mountain for summer vacation, the emperor has not yet said who to hand it over, most likely it may be that the emperor himself has an idea, if the emperor asks her opinion, or has a chance, she can mention Zhou Cairen to the emperor.

It's just that all she can do is to mention Zhou Cairen to the emperor when she has the opportunity, and as for the result, she can't guarantee it.

And Lu Yuning always felt that Zhou Cairen suddenly wanted to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer, and the purpose was not simple.

She doesn't know Zhou Cairen's true purpose now, if she rashly agrees to Zhou Cairen and really finds a way to let Zhou Cairen join the travel list, then Zhou Cairen will do something, in case she is implicated, it will be troublesome.

She thought that she had to at least figure out why Zhou Cairen went to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer with her before she could decide whether to help Zhou Cairen or not.

Therefore, for Zhou Cairen's thoughts, she could only smile and say: "Who said it wasn't, this year's summer is really a little difficult, and I've been impetuous, but I can sink my heart when making incense, you might as well give it a try?" ”

Seeing Lu Yuning's reaction, Zhou Cairen lowered his eyes in disappointment, and responded perfunctorily: "Then I'll go back and give it a try." ”

didn't achieve his goal, and Zhou Cairen didn't want to stay here longer with Lu Yuning, just as Qingzhi walked in with Lu Yuning's Jiugaoqin in his hand, Zhou Cairen got up and said: "Niangniang still has something to do here, I'll leave first, and come back to disturb Niangniang." ”

Lu Yuning nodded, and asked Zhou Cairen to go out.

"Does Zhou Cairen also want to go to Qingning Mountain?" After Zhou Cairen left, Qingzhi asked Lu Yuning a little strangely.

In Qingzhi's opinion, Zhou Cairen has been unfavored for so many years, and she seems to have given up competing for favor in front of the emperor, why does she suddenly want to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer? Is it really just that I can't stand the hot weather in Beijing?

Lu Yuning nodded, and instructed Qingzhi: "You go and ask Zhou Man to inquire, when was the last time the emperor went to Qingning Mountain for summer vacation, and who were the princes and ministers accompanying him at that time." ”

Lu Yuning had a guess in her heart, and when Zhou Mandi heard the news, she knew whether her guess was right or not.

Qingzhi answered, looked at the Jiugao Qin in his hand, and asked Lu Yuning: "Niangniang, what about this ......qin?"

Lu Yuning reached out and touched the body of the piano, and said with a smile: "Take it." ”

She hadn't played the piano well for a while, and this time she went out to relax and could play the piano well.

When Qingzhi heard this, she took Jiugaoqin and handed it to Qingdai and asked her to put it up. I went to find Zhou Man and asked her to inquire about Lu Yuning's explanation.

It is not a secret that Luo Chengjing went to Qingning Mountain last time to escape the summer and the princes and ministers accompanying him, and it sounds very easy.

It didn't take long for Zhou Man to inquire about the matter clearly.

"Master, the last time the emperor took someone to Qingning Mountain for summer vacation was four years after Mingde, and there were many princes and ministers accompanying him at that time, this is a small list sorted out, you can take a look." Zhou Man said and handed the list in his hand to Lu Yuning.

Lu Yuning took the list and glanced at it casually, and saw the three kings of Yujun.

Lu Yuning put the list together and thought: Sure enough, there is King Yujun.

Since there was King Yujun in the entourage last time, does that mean that there must also be King Yujun among the entourage this time?

Zhou Cairen wanted to go to Qingning Mountain this time, and the purpose was probably the king of Yujun.

Lu Yuning knew that Zhou Cairen wanted to avenge her sister, she was also very sympathetic to Zhou Cairen's sister, and wanted to let King Yujun be unlucky, but this did not mean that she was willing to take the risk to help Zhou Cairen, unless Zhou Cairen was willing to confess her purpose and plan to her, otherwise she would not help Zhou Cairen.

But Lu Yuning waited for a few days, and waited until the accompanying list came out, without waiting for Zhou Cairen to come to her again, let alone confessing his purpose and plan to her.

Lu Yuning thought that Zhou Cairen had given up, so he put this matter aside.

Along with the accompanying list, there is also a travel time.

On the eighth day of June, I set off for Qingning Mountain to escape the summer.

There are only three days left now, in fact, as early as when Luo Chengjing intended to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer, the forbidden army, the Ministry of Rites and other relevant departments were already making preparations, and now the preparations have already been prepared, and these three days are reserved for the concubines in the harem to pack up their things.

The entourage of the summer harem this time is not too much, but it is not small.
