The Summer Palace is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain 80 miles away from the capital.

Because of the huge team, I walked a day and a night before I arrived the next afternoon.

Lingshan Palace was built by the abolished emperor of the previous dynasty. It is built according to the mountain situation, with natural landscapes as the base and artificial buildings as the color. In addition to the emperor's palace, there are also various exquisite and gorgeous gardens, majestic temples, high towers and round altars, and shadows of mountains, rivers and lakes. They are majestic and majestic.

The Fangfei Pavilion where Acuo lives is not far behind Yuanxun’s Tai Chi Hall. The reason why she gave this place to her was mainly because there was a large area of ​​pomegranate trees planted in the Fangfei Pavilion.

It was midsummer in July, and the pomegranates were blooming brightly, with red and small flames, and some of them had green pomegranates, round and rolling, and they looked pleasant.

Mu Qing and Mu Lan were packing things quickly, while Acuo was happily walking around the pomegranate tree.

"My master, come in and rest quickly and have a cup of tea."

After cleaning up for a while, Mu Qing turned around and saw that his little master was still shaking outside, he couldn't help but whisper, "The sun is big outside, don't let the sun shine."

"Okay, I'll come now-"

Acuo responded crisply and walked into the house.

Fangfei Pavilion is a square yard with palace rooms and utility rooms on both sides. The main house is mainly divided into three parts. The middle is a flower hall for guests, the left side is a study room, and the right side is a sleeping room.

The courtyard had been cleaned very neatly by the palace servants in the palace. Mu Qing and Mu Lan arranged the items he brought, adding a bit of daily warmth.

Asuo was drinking tea, he saw the eunuch Bao walking in quickly.

"Little Lord, the eldest princess is coming down."

Baoshun said respectfully.

"Please come in quickly."

Acuo put down the teacup and tidied up his clothes a little.

His Highness the eldest princess had already washed up, and her scarlet embroidered peony robe made her look more and more gorgeous.

Asuo saluted her, the eldest princess stood up and helped her, "No need to be too polite, your legs are better now?"

"The medicine that Your Majesty applied to me is particularly useful, and it no longer hurts."

Acuo chuckled.

"That's good."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, remembering the little words that the palace servants said yesterday, such as His Majesty favored Shen Ping in the carriage, the two of them were in a romance, Shen Ping was crying and begging for mercy, etc.

She looked Acuo up and down, and seeing her energetic look, she thought it was all groundless nonsense.

Oh, if it is true, that would be fine.

"This summer palace is so big. You can have a good rest today. I will take you around tomorrow.

I will also plan to have a polo game the next day. You can also take a look. It will be fun to play polo."

The eldest princess talked about her vacation plan with great enthusiasm, took a sip with her tea cup, and said, "Tonight, we will hold a dinner at Zhilan Palace. If you take a nap, don't sleep too long. Get up early and dress up. Don't ask others to compete, huh?"

Acuo nodded and responded.

But I was curious. This was her first time attending a dinner! I didn’t know if it was fun or not.

The eldest princess sat in Fangfei Pavilion for a cup of tea and left.

Mu Qing and Mu Lan were both nervous about what the eldest princess said just now, "The eldest princess is here to remind us specifically?"

"Yes, it must be that Chu Ronghua was dressed too gorgeous today. Our little master stood by her and compared."

The two sisters looked at each other and were both determined to be confident: Today's dinner, we must dress up the little master to amazed the audience! Let His Majesty's eyes only fall on their master.

Acuo didn't think so much. She only knew that the freshness of just entering the new environment had passed, and the fatigue of running around the journey had come.

After yawning, she raised her steps and walked back to the inner room to rest.

——

Tai Chi Hall, side hall.

Yuan Xun stood in front of the window with his hands on his back, staring at the green bamboo forest calmly.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by.

The next moment, a black shadow appeared in the hall like a ghost, kneeling on the ground with a body of Xiao Su.

"Nineteen kowtow to the master."

The voice was hoarse and straightforward.

"Go and check who is the one who knows martial arts among the harem who is accompanying you this time?"

Yuan Xun's voice was extremely cold and his murderous intent was strong.

"Yes, nineteen obeys the order."

"Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow disappeared quickly in the hall like a Tathagata.

The breeze blows across the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves rub against each other, making a crisp and pleasant rustling sound.

Yuan Xun's gray-green eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were thick.

It seems that he has been too kind during this period of time to dare to make tricks under his nose.

He stood quietly for a while until Chang Xi's voice came from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, Empress Zhao is asking for a meeting."

Yuan Xun was slightly stunned, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly, "Let her come in."

He walked to the desk and sat on the yellow rosewood dragon pattern ring chair with a straight posture and nostalgia.

Concubine Zhao, wearing a lily-colored clouds and water rosy fairy skirt, walked in slowly, saluted respectfully, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the seat distribution and singing and dancing arrangements for today's dinner have been arranged, please check it out."

As she said that, she handed the silver satin booklet in her hand to Chang Xi, and then handed it to Chang Xi.

"Turn a chair for Concubine Zhao."

Yuan Xun took the booklet and glanced at Concubine Zhao who was still standing.

Immediately, a little eunuch brought Zhang Zitan carved bamboo chair over, and Concubine Zhao felt a little blessed, "I thank you for giving the seat."

Then Shi Shiran sat down.

Yuan Xun casually glanced at the booklet, and when he saw Acuo's seat was relatively back, he frowned slightly.

But when she thinks of her position, this arrangement is indeed impeccable.

"Well, just follow the arrangements above."

Yuan Xun put the booklet aside and nodded to Concubine Zhao, "You have always handled these matters well, I am very relieved."

Hearing his polite praise, Concubine Zhao gently pulled her lips, "Thank you for your trust."

It seemed like a gentle smile, but that smile did not reach the bottom of my eyes.

After talking about this, both of them were quiet.

This silence seems particularly awkward in the huge side hall.

After a while of silence, Concubine Zhao raised her eyes gently and looked straight at Yuan Xun with her bright black eyes, "His head speed improvement over this period?"

Yuan Xun said, "It's still the same."

Concubine Zhao said softly, "I have recently found a set of acupuncture therapy in ancient books. If your Majesty feels uncomfortable, please let me try it.

If it can relieve the headache of Your Majesty, it would be better.”

Yuan Xun also met her gaze and replied, "Okay, then I'll have a hard time."

Be so kind.

Concubine Zhao smiled bitterly in her heart and said, "It is my duty to share your worries for Your Majesty."

As she said that, she slowly stood up and bowed, "I have to arrange the palace banquet. If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

Yuan Xun responded and glanced at Chang Xi, "You go and see Concubine Zhao off."

Chang Xi said "Oh" and bent over and sent Concubine Zhao out politely.

When he turned around and came back, he saw His Majesty clenching one hand into a fist on the table, supporting his forehead with the other hand, and frowned slightly.

Chang Xi was shocked and hurriedly met him, "Your Majesty, are you?

But where is it uncomfortable?”

Yuan Xun said in a deep voice, "Nothing is wrong."

He stood up and looked at the sky outside the window, "I went back to the bedroom to rest for a while, and when the time is almost over, call me up."

The afternoon time always passes very quickly, and it takes a long time to pass in the blink of an eye.

When Acuo woke up, the sun outside had already declined and the blue sky was in a trend of darkness.

She hugged the quilt and woke up in the bed for a while.

As soon as his feet fell to the ground, Mu Qing and Mu Lan looked at her with a smile, "My master, you are awake, then let's start dressing up."

Acuo, “Ah?”
