Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is summer. The temperature this summer started very high, but fortunately there was no drought and the rain was abundant.

With the arrival of summer, there were two Zhaoyi in the harem and two low-ranking concubines. The highest-ranking one here was Wang Zhaoyi, and his father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

This also attracted attention as soon as he entered the palace. With Zhaoyi entering the palace, there were some rumors that Lord Wang would be the next Minister of Revenue.

Zhulan rarely attends banquets, and now the posts sent to the Zhou family are invited by Zhao’s family, among which Su Xuan is the most popular.

Su Xuan came back from Wen’s house and today is the birthday party for the Wen family’s daughter-in-law.

Zhulan was teaching the children to study. When she saw Su Xuan coming in, she signaled that the children could rest. When the children went out to play, she said, "I'm back."

Su Xuan had already drunk herbal tea and removed the heat from her body, "Well, it's a hot day, I really don't want to move."

In summer, she prefers to cool off in ice basins instead of attending banquets in hot weather.

Zhulan knew that if it was okay, Su Xuan would go back to the yard directly when she came back, "Is there anything wrong?"

Su Xuan, "Today, there are always people saying that Wang Shilang is the emperor's confidant and may become the Minister of Revenue in the future."

She smiled and didn't say anything. She knew she was talking in her ear on purpose, but she was still worried that it was true, so she felt a little upset.

Zhulan laughed, "Your father-in-law is hoping that the rumors are true."

Su Xuan, “Ah?”

Zhulan did not explain, "The rumors are false. If we really want to train the next Shangshu, it will definitely not have anything to do with the palace."

What the emperor wants is a calm harem, so that the harem women's family will not occupy an important position. Not everyone can do it, so they must be loyal to the emperor and are selfless.

Su Xuan blinked her eyes, she understood, and smiled embarrassedly, "The daughter-in-law's vision is still short."

"You are already fine, okay, why are you doing this? It's so hot, so you go back and change your clothes and rest."

In order to be appropriate, Su Xuan's outfit is uncomfortable even if she wears it softly.

Su Xuan really wanted to go back and take a shower, "Mom, then I'll go back first."

"Um."

Zhulan waited for Su Xuan to leave before she called Qingxue and others who had sent out and asked Qingxue, "How long has Changzhong been gone?"

Qingxue replied, "It's been an hour."

Zhulan muttered, "I don't understand boys' preferences anymore. I don't dislike the heat in hot weather and run to the racecourse."

Qingxue smiled, "A few young masters Yang Qing like horses."

Zhulan nodded, indicating that the snow would make people add ice. The weather was hot this year and the ice was consumed a little quickly.

The eldest brother and the sophomore family's grandsons have had a very young age, and three of them have come. The oldest one is fourteen, Yang Yu eleven, and Yang Shu is eight years old this year.

With three children, Yang Qing went to the Navy next year, he had already said hello. This time, Li Zhao was not needed, and Rong Chuan personally took Yang Qing to see General Hou.

General Hou means that he will go to the Navy in the fifteenth year and now he is more familiar with the sea water.

Yang Yu and Yang Shu are young, so they came to the capital to learn about it for a long time.

The hot summer season in the capital cannot stop the enthusiasm for horse racing. The hotter the weather, the higher the mood.

Changzhong has become a regular customer in the horse farm. He has fallen in love with this place since he got the brand owned by his father.

Yang Qing has a straight-hearted temperament and a very loud voice, "I won, I won."

Chang Zhong got used to Yang Qing. Compared with Yang Wen, Yang Qing is really a rough man. However, Yang Qing's eyes are really poisonous, especially when looking at horses, "You are so powerful, you outperform every time you choose."

Yang Yu curled the corner of his mouth, "Second brother is not based on luck, he relies on pure ability. When he was at home, he liked to go to Ma City. He was very familiar with several foreign ma merchants and had a lot of real skills in his second brother."

Yang Shu nodded, "I have also received a pony from my second brother, a good horse."

Yang Qing felt so distressed when he heard this. Several younger brothers joined forces to cheat him of all the money. It was not easy for him to save money. The biggest one was the last time he came to Beijing, which was given by his aunt.

Changzhong exchanged the winning silver and made a lot of money today. Changzhong waved his hand happily, "It's getting late, let's go, I'll take you to eat roasted whole lamb."

Yang Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, "Which whole roasted lamb is eaten on this hot day?"

Chang Zhong would not say that it was because he couldn't bear to give up money. The three in front of him were all big eaters. He touched his purse. Thanks to Yang Qing today, he was cruel and silenced for a while and said, "Then let's go eat famous dishes in Jiangnan."

Yang Yu had some insight into the temperament of this young elder. He didn't have much contact with him last time, but this time he had too many contacts, so he was a little stingy.

Chang Zhong is the shortest, but he is at the forefront, which is quite eye-catching.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he asked for a private room, and Changzhong regretted it. How could he say that the food in this restaurant is delicious and the dishes are very exquisite. The only disadvantage is that the quantity is small.

In the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren called out Lord Wang, who was about to go out, "In the past few days, I have been resting. You and Qiu Yan take care of you more."

As he said that, Zhou Shuren pressed his head. He was a little hot and cold, and his head was very uncomfortable now.

Since the rumors appeared, Lord Wang tried his best to be cautious in the Ministry of Revenue and tried not to talk to the officials below, for fear that Lord Zhou would think so suddenly that he would startled him and think that he was testing him.

After looking carefully, my heart returned to my stomach, "Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "I have invited the imperial physician to come."

As he said that, the Imperial Doctor came, but Lord Wang did not leave, but Zhou Shuren was really sick and needed a few days to rest.

Zhou Shuren smiled and sent the imperial physician away, then wrote a leave note, and it would be enough to send it away in a while. There was nothing left to arrange. The Ministry of Revenue has a complete system, so he would have Qiu Yan and Lord Wang in a few days.

The emperor in the palace also learned the news. Before he was crazy about exploiting a patient, he paid attention to asking for leave. "There are many ministers who have asked for leave recently."

Eunuch Zhang replied, "Yes, a few older adults have already taken sick leave, and a few have heat stroke."

The emperor could also feel the heat of this year through the glass. "Is ice enough?"

Eunuch Zhang said: "I use a lot of ice this year, so I need to save some."

There were not many concubines in the Empress of the Supreme Emperor's Palace. Last year, there were more ice storage, but there were still fewer ones. In addition, the princes were young and a few more empresses were added. The ice in the harem was quite tight.

The emperor nodded, "Go and say to the queen, and start reducing the use of ice in the harem today."

Eunuch Zhang received the order and went out. If he hadn't gone to see the Queen, he would have been reluctant to go there in person. He said while walking, "This year is so hot."

Zhou Shuren suddenly returned home, and Zhulan saw her husband's discomfort at a glance. She hurriedly signaled the girl to twist her handkerchief, and while helping to change her clothes, she said, "Have you seen the Imperial Doctor?"

"I have already asked the imperial physician to see it, and the medicine has been prescribed. Boil it first."

"good."

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes and wiped his face with a veil, making him feel much more comfortable, and he became a little drowsy after taking the medicine.
