C103 (2/2)

”Your majesty, look at my eyes. They have turned dark green and dark green.” As she spoke, Jiang Shu daintily pointed towards the bright yellow dress. The old man in colorful clothes moved closer to him, forcing him to look at the dark circles under his eyes that were caused by lack of sleep.

And this old man was the Emperor's martial emperor.

There was no light in the room, only the luminous pearl in Jiang Shu's hand glowing, but she could not see anything clearly.

However, the Martial Emperor still touched Jiang Shu's face tenderly, feigning anger. ”What? Haven't they served you well? ”

Hearing this, the other palace maids were all terrified and fell to the ground, trembling as they laid on the floor. He trembled and shouted for mercy.

Jiang Shu glanced at them with a smile and was extremely satisfied with their reactions. She then smiled and said to the martial emperor in a spoiled manner, ”Aiya, Your Majesty, don't scare the people in my room. It's just that the weather is too hot and I can feel the wind blowing on me. ”It makes me feel uncomfortable …”

”This year seems to be getting hotter than last year.” The Martial Emperor stroked his gray beard and said, ”What?” Didn't the Internal Affairs Bureau send you ice? ”

”Why didn't you send him off?” Jiang Shu looked at the corner of the room and pursed her lips, ”It's just that this point has been long since dissolved.”

Only a concubine of fourth rank or above was qualified to enjoy the ice from the palace. As for the others who had not yet reached the fourth rank, they either spent their own money or remained hot and dry.

A noble person like Jiang Shu, who was only at the seventh rank, was originally not qualified to enjoy it, but the people within the palace were all intelligent people. No matter what, they would absolutely not dare to offend the great celebrity beside the emperor at this moment.

Emperor Jianwu stood up and paced back and forth a few steps. He stroked his beard and said: ”Since that's the case, why don't we go to the Western Mountain Palace for summer vacation?”

These words caused Jiang Shu's eyes to light up.

She was just thinking if she could get the emperor to ask her to move to the pavilion near the lake, but if she could go to the west mountain's temporary palace to take shelter in the summer, that would be even more desirable.

She had heard that the scenery of the Western Palace was extraordinary. With every three steps, every five steps, she would draw. It was as if she had become an immortal paradise on earth.

”But …” Would Imperial Concubine Cui allow me to go? ” Jiang Shu suddenly wiped the corners of her eyes with a troubled expression. ”She can't be going to point at my nose and call me a fox, right?”

Jiang Shu could not help but resentfully think that if it wasn't for Imperial Concubine Cui obstructing her, based on the love the emperor had for her, he would have long since sealed her off.

”This Cui Xinyue is about to hit me.” ”The Martial Emperor frowned and thought for a moment before turning to Jiang Zhu.” ”You just have to send people to pack. After two days, I will take you to the palace in the western mountains.”

With that, he led the attendant, Chang Bao'er, away.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shu's personal palace maid, Little He, immediately stood up. She lit an octagonal glass palace lamp, moved it to Jiang Shu's side, and said, ”Empress, do you think our plan is useful or useless?”

”Are you stupid? Didn't you hear that the Emperor wants to take me to the Western Mountains to catch the summer heat? ” Jiang Shu rolled her eyes and smiled. ”I just don't know who else the Emperor will bring, but I need to think of a way to make sure that none of the madams who made things difficult for me can go. I need them to obediently stay in the palace and recite Buddhist scriptures.”

”The Empress really likes to joke around,” Little He said as she moved closer to Jiang Shu's side with a flattering expression. ”Isn't this all just a sentence from the Empress?”

Jiang Shu pretended to be angry and glared at Little He, and asked: ”Fu Jiao still hasn't come back yet? ”You don't even know how worried I was that the emperor would ask me for the Hibiscus Ointment.”
