After the prince left, the emperor asked Jiang Qing: "Do you think it could be her?"
Jiang Qing said: "It's very possible."
The emperor said: "Then I will send someone to verify it."
Jiang Qing said: "It's okay to check, but even if we don't check, she should be scared at this time."
The emperor asked strangely: "Why are you so scared?"
Jiang Qing stood up, her eyes bright and lively, and she smiled slightly: "Because the person she cares about most is the emperor."
The emperor was stunned and looked at Jiang Qing dumbfounded.
Jiang Qing smiled sweetly and said slowly.
"When she got along with the prince in the Lu family, she already thought that she would be the queen. She was of noble birth, and she was the youngest daughter of a grand master. If she didn't join the palace, she would be the master of the middle palace."
"However, the emperor was reluctant to issue the decree. The old master understood that the emperor had no intention of making his daughter his queen, so he thought of Pei Shan. Unfortunately, Pei Shan also refused. Mei Min could not bear this blow, and her character changed.
.”
"The prince bumped into her today, and Pei Shan was also there. He saw her miserable condition with his own eyes. What do you think she will do? I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well at night, and she won't be able to sleep or eat well. She'll regret it, right?"
"The emperor will check now and see that she is helpless and crying, will he feel sympathy for her?"
emperor:"……"
"You should call me cousin. If you call me like that, I feel cautious."
The emperor said, no longer thinking about investigating.
Jiang Qing smiled and said, "What's wrong with my cousin? Do you think I'm being sarcastic?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "That's not true. I was just thinking that she can't even face the prince. Even if I really verify it, she won't admit it."
"Forget it, I'm just a dispensable person, so there's no need to cause trouble."
After hearing this, Jiang Qing did not refute, and the matter just passed.
The next day, Yu Deshui went to Lu Mansion to get the peace charm, but it was sewn into a sachet.
The emperor touched the talisman and also touched the thin and soft sachet inside. The fragrance was not strong, but it smelled particularly good because it was a rare rose fragrance that was not cloying.
The emperor asked Yu Deshui: "Does the prince have one?"
Yu Deshui smiled and said: "How could it not be? But His Highness the Prince's is scented with osmanthus. Madam Lu specially told her that the Prince is still young and playful, so just put the sachet on the tent hook."
"The emperor and the empress can carry it with them, but it must not be exposed to water, otherwise it will be useless."
The emperor smiled, feeling that the sachet came a little strangely, but it was given to him by Wang Xiu, so it was harmless.
He immediately put it on and ordered Yu Deshui to be given to the imperial concubine.
As luck would have it, Jiang Qing was also very obedient and trusted Wang Xiu very much, so she put it on immediately.
Yu Deshui looked at it and said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu said that the emperor likes sea blue, and the imperial concubine likes light green. Sure enough, they both took it without asking what other colors were available."
Jiang Qing said: "Is there anyone more thoughtful than Mrs. Lu? She is most considerate and considerate when she is good to others."
Yu Deshui said: "Isn't it? She made the sachet herself. She said that as the weather gets hotter, the fragrance will become stronger. If it comes to autumn and winter, it will need to be replaced."
Jiang Qing touched the sachet, smiled and said, "Then I will ask her to make another one for me."
Yu Deshui quickly stated that he would run errands, and then suggested that the imperial concubine should be invited to Qinzheng Restaurant for dinner tonight. The weather was getting hotter, and he was too lazy to let the emperor run around.
Jiang Qing thought about the sweat stains on the emperor's neck that she saw during the day, and quickly agreed.
At dusk, Jiang Qing arrived as promised.
Yu Deshui quickly invited her in. The emperor was reading a book on the couch by the window, with some ice on the side.
Seeing Jiang Qing coming, the emperor asked someone to carry the ice down, but the room was still a little cold. The emperor asked Yu Deshui to bring her cloak.
Jiang Qing quickly declined, and the emperor did not force her, and took her to the side hall.
The side hall is very quiet. There are vases and a screen on both sides of the long table. Next to the wall are two pots of Cymbidium, which are growing well.
The windows were open, letting in a cool breeze.
The emperor took Jiang Qing to sit on the Arhat bed next to the bed, and said to Yu Deshui: "Just pick a few of the concubine's favorite foods and put them on the table. There is no need to go to the round table."
Yu Deshui lowered his head and answered, and Jiang Qing asked: "What about my cousin's favorite food?"
The emperor said: "After lunch, I'm not hungry yet, so I'll stay with you."
Hearing this, Jiang Qing muttered and whispered: "I also said I would come over to accompany my cousin, but I didn't expect that my cousin had already eaten."
After hearing this, the emperor immediately explained: "It's the mung bean porridge made by the imperial kitchen to relieve the heat. I'm almost hungry now."
After saying that, he asked Yu Deshui to pick up two more items and bring them over.
Yu Deshui smiled lowly and said: "I was just worried about how to persuade the emperor to eat more. Fortunately, the imperial concubine is here."
After the Yu De water receded, the wind seemed not to be so cold anymore and blew in slowly, bringing with it a hint of scorching heat.
The emperor just wanted ice, but he had to give up because he was worried about Jiang Qing's health.
After a while, the fragrance lingered on the tip of my nose, with a faint hint of alluring rose fragrance, and the ambiguous feelings swept over me like a breeze, sweeping over me instantly.
The emperor pressed his hand on the sachet and subconsciously looked at the sachet that Jiang Qing was carrying. Her hand unconsciously touched the collar of her shirt, which seemed to be a little warm.
But she was wearing a round-neck gown, revealing her white neck, which looked like there was not even a trace of sweat stains. It was like a warm jade fragrance, like a burning and alluring rose.
The emperor looked away and swallowed subconsciously, feeling very dry.
But at the same time, he let go of the sachet in his hand and said to himself, "Is it hot?"
When Jiang Qing heard this, she realized that she had just wanted to take off her clothes. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'm not hot."
Her face was so red that it was more dazzling than the sunset on the horizon.
The emperor couldn't help laughing and explained: "I thought you were hot, so I wanted to ask them to send two basins of ice. But since you are not hot, forget it, otherwise you will easily catch cold if you are hot and cold."
Jiang Qing secretly regretted it. She was a little hot and had a hint of heat, as if it was due to the excessive heat.
But now that the sun is setting in the west, it stands to reason that there is no heat, right?
But if you use ice, it does have the potential to be cold.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing said: "No, it will be much better if we go for a walk after dinner."
The emperor nodded, thinking this was a good idea.
Yu Deshui also quickly brought the food to the palace, but he did not stay because the emperor did not like others to serve him food. Except for the imperial concubine...
The sunset outside was bright red, and there was a faint hint of joy.
Yu Deshui happily dismissed the eunuchs and maids, thinking about the obscure reminder that Mrs. Lu had given him today, and he almost burst into laughter for a moment.
