MTL - Time is slow-Chapter 780 Qingliang Mountain
Chapter 780 On the Qingliang Mountain
Qingliang Mountain is located between Heyu and Beiding. Because of its special terrain, it is particularly cool in hot summer. Since the former dynasty, a palace has been built there, which has become a summer resort for successive emperors.
But in the Ming and Kang period, because Emperor Kang was obsessed with seclusion and monasticism, he naturally had no time to go to Qingliang Mountain to escape the summer heat.
At this time, there was news of going to Qingliang Mountain to escape the summer heat. All the prefectures in Beijing who were eligible to go there were very excited, especially the female relatives who could accompany them, and they had already started to pack their bags.
Shao Mingyuan is undoubtedly on the travel list, and Qiao Zhao is also on the list as the champion Mrs. Hou.
Chi Can didn't like to be involved in these things, but the fact that Princess Changrong was pregnant planted a thorn in his heart. At present, Princess Changrong's belly was not small. The next opportunity to go out is invisible.
Ming Kangdi acted resolutely, and soon the day of travel came.
Countless luxury carriages, guarded by the Praetorian Guards, slowly drove out of the capital and headed north.
The people sitting in the carriage were all delicate and expensive people, so naturally they couldn't get up to speed. When it was about noon, they stopped halfway along the road where they couldn't reach the village or the store.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and Emperor Kang of Ming and the Empress Dowager were served by a large group of eunuchs and palace maids. In particular, the place where Emperor Kang of Ming rested was surrounded by ice basins. The comfort was no different from that in the palace, but the others were miserable.
Whether it is a royal relative or a high-ranking official in the court, it is an idiot to want to cool off the heat in an ice basin, even if the two princes can only sit and rest under the shade of a tree.
Because Prince Rui had not yet married the princess, it was Li Jiao, who was just named a side concubine, who accompanied Prince Rui this time.
At this moment, Li Jiao took out a fan for Prince Rui, and soon the tip of his nose was sweating.
"Just let the maids come, you can rest too." Prince Rui was moved by Li Jiao's thoughtfulness and squeezed her hand.
"It is a concubine's blessing to be able to travel with the lord. Naturally, you should take good care of the lord." Li Jiao said softly.
A chuckle came: "The fifth brother is really lucky."
King Rui looked at King Mu under another tree.
King Mu was wearing a sky-blue long gown, his face was handsome, and he looked like a son of a wealthy family, and he was swinging his fan and smiling.
Princess Mu listened to King Mu's words, her face remained calm, and her eyes swept across Li Jiao.
Li Jiao lowered his eyebrows and continued to fan his eyes.
Princess Mu raised her eyebrows lightly, and sneered in her heart: She should be a concubine, and she doesn't have to fan herself with so many maids. She really can do anything to please men.
Concubine Mu glanced at King Mu again after thinking like this, and sneered secretly: It's no wonder that men eat this, so it's no wonder that the concubine carried them one after another.
Prince Rui was not as chatty as Wang Mu. He smiled after listening to him, and then he looked back and said to Li Jiao, "Niang Jiao, I heard that this time the champion Mrs. Hou is also here, do you want to say hello?"
Although Li Jiao was reluctant, he also vaguely understood that Prince Rui intended to win over the champion. At this time, it was inconvenient for Prince Rui to come forward, so she went to greet her sister and no one could make a mistake.
One can think that she is the eldest sister, but she took the initiative to say hello to the younger sister, and she felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
Of course, this thought was only for a moment, Li Jiao quickly sorted out his mood, and smiled at Prince Rui: "Just as my concubine prepared some cool fruits before going out, I will send them to the third sister."
Prince Rui nodded in satisfaction.
Champion Hou had a high status. In fact, he was resting not far from them, and he could see each other's movements when he turned his head, but Prince Rui had a lot of scruples, and it was not easy to show his closeness to Shao Mingyuan in front of others.
Li Jiao walked towards Qiao Zhao with the food box in his hand, and he couldn't move his feet when he was halfway there.
Under the luxuriant tree canopy, Shao Mingyuan was taking a fan for Qiao Zhao, and the woman's soft laughter was sent over with the wind: "I'll just do it myself, where can I use you?"
"You will get sore hands by yourself."
"And Binglu and Azhu." This time, except for the nobles in the palace, everyone else paid attention to light and simple, so Qiao Zhao only brought Binglu and Azhu.
"How can I have the strength, maid." The tall and straight man sat with his back to Li Jiao, and his voice was hearty and gentle.
Li Jiao looked at him coldly, and when he thought about the scene where he carefully fanned Prince Rui just now, his heart suddenly seemed to be pricked by a needle, and the pain made her almost unsteady to stand.
Li Jiao flashed the thought of regret for the first time.
If she was married to someone at the time, as arranged by her grandmother, would that person treat her like this?
But soon she put the nonsense away.
My grandmother was going to marry her to a Zhuang family, so let alone a man from such a background to fan her, she would be annoyed even to carry her shoes!
There is nothing to envy, as long as the prince can ascend the throne, she can at least seal the position of noble concubine, and Li San will still kneel to her.
Princess Mu looked in her eyes and let out a chuckle.
A sister who came out of the house has a completely different weight in the hearts of men. It can be seen that people who are willing to be concubines are born with cheap bones.
This chuckle made Li Jiao suddenly return to his senses.
Princess Mu didn't say anything, but she felt that her face was burning hot, and she hurriedly walked a few steps to Qiao Zhao.
Qiao Zhao was surprised and looked at Li Jiao calmly.
When Shao Mingyuan saw Li Jiao coming, he glanced at her coldly, stood up and avoided her expressionlessly.
When he was on his way, Zhaozhao rode in a carriage and he rode. He finally hoped that he would be able to say a few words during the rest, but he was disturbed by cats and dogs.
Li Jiao was inexplicably chilled by Shao Mingyuan's glance, and under Qiao Zhao's calm gaze, he forced a smile: "Everyone who travels in the hot weather suffers, so I brought some cool fruits for the third sister to taste."
Noticing that many eyes were cast towards him, Qiao Zhao smiled lightly: "Thank you eldest sister."
Li Jiao knew that just going back like this would definitely make Prince Rui dissatisfied, so he racked his brains to find a topic: "I rarely have the opportunity to go out when I enter the palace. I didn't expect to go to Qingliang Mountain with Sanmei this time to escape the summer. By the way, I don't know how grandma and the others are?"
Qiao Zhao smiled, but not a smile: "Eldest sister misses her grandmother, why don't you go back to Lifu?"
Li Jiao hit a soft nail, sat dryly for a while, got up and went back.
Shao Mingyuan said to Chi Can, "I'm going back."
Chi Can rolled his eyes.
Careless making friends, this is a typical emphasis on **** over friends, crossing the river and tearing down bridges!
"Taosheng, give me a fan, I have no eyesight!"
After walking for several days, we finally arrived at Qingliang Mountain. The honorable officials were arranged to live in courtyards of different sizes according to their rank and status, and they took a hard rest for two days before recovering.
At this time, they got the letter: the emperor is in retreat again.
The biggest master retreat in this summer resort is good news, they can play and hunt in this deep mountain and jungle as they want.
Hundreds of officials and nobles were in high spirits, and soon they spent a month comfortably in Qingliang Mountain.
But just when everyone was rejoicing and not thinking about Shu, Zhang Tianshi became very worried.
The emperor has always been punctual. He was supposed to leave the gate at sunset today, how come it is already time to hold the lantern, and he still hasn't come out?
