Chapter 224 The escort

Author: Yang Azhai

After Zhou Cairen learned that the emperor was going to take people to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat, 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 cleaning up what Lu Wanning and the Fourth Princess had to bring during the summer vacation.

Zhou Cairen tentatively mentioned this summer vacation with Lu Wanning. "I didn't expect that the emperor would go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer vacation this year. The empress must be among the accompanying one after another this time, right?"

Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "The list of accompanying you has not yet come out, who is right? You just need to clean up first."

Zhou Cairen smiled and said, "With the emperor's favor for the empress, if the empress is not among the followers, there will be even more hope for others."

Lu Wanning glanced at Zhou Cairen, frowned slightly and said, "No one can tell the emperor's mind. Everything is possible before the list comes out."

After saying this, Lu Wanning did not want to continue to circumvent this topic with Zhou Cairen, but changed the topic: "I just made a new incense yesterday, and the taste was very fresh and elegant, this kind of

It's just right in the hot weather. Do you like it if you smell it?"

Zhou Cairen just now was thinking about how to take her to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat with him, and he didn't notice that Lu Wanning had changed the incense here.

When Lu Wanning mentioned it, she noticed that the fragrance in the hall was indeed different from the past, and it was lighter than the past, just like a breeze stroking across the mountains, bringing a light fragrance, quiet and distant.

It is indeed a kind of incense that is very suitable for burning in the hot summer, but Zhou Cairen really couldn't get much interest in incense at this time.

However, on the surface she still praised: "The incense made by the Empress will naturally not be bad."

Lu Wanning said: "If you like it, bring some back later."

Zhou Cairen heard this and said, "I thanked the Empress first. But even if there is such a good incense, the summer in Beijing this year is still very difficult. I have been hot these days.

I can't calm down either."

Zhou Cairen already understood what he said, but Lu Wanning still did not promise her anything directly.

The emperor has not said who to write the accompanying order to go to Qingning Mountain for summer vacation this time. Most of the time it is possible that the emperor has an idea in his mind. If the emperor asks her for her opinion or has the chance, she can ask the emperor.

When talking about Zhou Cairen.

However, all she could do was mention Zhou Cairen on the premise of the emperor when she had the opportunity. As for the result, she couldn't guarantee it.

Moreover, Lu Wanning always felt that Zhou Cairen suddenly wanted to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat, perhaps his purpose was not simple.

She doesn't know the real purpose of Zhou Cairen now. If she rashly agrees to Zhou Cairen, she will really find a way to add Zhou Cairen to the travel list. What will Zhou Cairen do if it involves her?

In trouble.

She thought that at least she had to figure out why Zhou Cairen had to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat before she could decide whether to help Zhou Cairen.

So, for the thoughts that Zhou Cairen showed, she could only smile and say, "Who said it was not? This summer is indeed a little hard to bear. I am also impatient recently, but I can sink when making incense.

Be careful, you might as well give it a try too?"

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

Without achieving his goal, Zhou Cairen didn't want to stay for Lu Wanning. Qingzhi walked in with Lu Wanning's Jiugaoqin in her hand. Seeing this, Zhou Cairen stood up and said, "Empress Dowager has something to do here,

I'll leave first and come back to disturb the Empress."

Lu Wanning nodded and asked someone to send Zhou Cairen out.

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

In Qingzhi's opinion, Zhou Cairen has been unpopular for so many years, and she seems to have given up fighting for favor in front of the emperor. Why did she suddenly want to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat? Is it really just that she can't stand the heat in Beijing

Is it weather?

Lu Wanning nodded and ordered Qingzhi: "Go and ask Zhou Man to inquire about the year when the emperor went to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat. Who are the princes and ministers who accompanied him at that time?"

Lu Wanning had a guess in her mind. After Zhou Man found out the news, she knew whether her guess was right.

Qingzhi responded, looked at the Jiugao Qin holding in her hand, and asked Lu Wanning: "Empress, then this Qin..."

Lu Wanning reached out and touched the piano body, and smiled and said, "Take it with you."

She hasn't played the piano well for a while, and this time she went out to have a free time, so she can play the piano well for a while.

Upon hearing this, Qingzhi took Jiugaoqin and handed it over to Qingdai and asked her to pretend. She went to find Zhou Man and asked her to inquire about what Lu Wanning had told her.

The time when Luo Chengjing went to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat last time was not a secret between the princes and ministers he accompanied, and it seemed very easy to inquire.

It didn't take Zhou Man long to find out the matter clearly.

"Master, the last time the emperor took people to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat was in the fourth year of Mingde. There were many princes and ministers accompanying him at that time. This is a list of small people who have compiled it. Take a look." Zhou Man said as he put the

The list in his hand was handed over to Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning took the list and glanced casually, and saw the three princes of Yu.

Lu Wanning put together the list and thought to himself: It turns out that there is Prince Yu.

Since the last time the entourage was Prince Yu, does that mean that the entourage must be Prince Yu among the entourage?

Zhou Cairen wanted to go to Qingning Mountain this time, and his purpose was probably to be Prince Yu.

Lu Wanning knew that Zhou Cairen wanted to avenge her sister, and she also sympathized with Zhou Cairen's sister and wanted Prince Yu to go unlucky, but this did not mean that she was willing to take the risk to help Zhou Cairen unless Zhou Cairen was willing.

Confess her purpose and plan, otherwise she would not have helped Zhou Cairen.

But Lu Wanning waited for a few days, and waited until the list of accompanying him came out, but he didn't wait until Zhou Cairen came to find him again, let alone confess his purpose and plan to her.

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

The travel time is still available as the accompanying list comes out.

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

It's only three days away. In fact, when Luo Chengjing was interested in going to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat, the Imperial Army, the Ministry of Rites and other relevant departments were already preparing for the journey. What should be prepared now has already been prepared.

, These three days are left for the concubines in the harem to pack up their things.
