Emperor Shenwu grabbed the hand that Lan Qingwu extended to him, and then stretched out his long arm to hold Lan Qingwu's slender waist. He then floated up and flew towards the cloud swing. When Lan Qingwu came to his senses, his feet had already stepped on the pedals of the cloud swing.

The two of them stood on the Cloud Swing at the same time. Lan Qingwu looked at the Divine Martial Emperor and said, "Brother Heng!"

Emperor Shenwu only whispered: "Hold me tight!"

Lan Qingwu did as he was told. Emperor Shenwu had already grasped the swing rope with both hands, and the two of them embraced each other and swung slowly on the cloud swing.

Lan Qingwu gradually found the pleasure. As the cool breeze of the early morning blew, her black hair and that of Emperor Shenwu became tangled together, unable to distinguish one from the other.

Lan Qingwu looked at the clouds in the sky and the scenery below her feet that was becoming smaller. The Emperor Shenwu was hugging her tightly beside her. Gradually, her last trace of fear disappeared. Lan Qingwu turned her head and saw that the Emperor Shenwu was staring at her intently, so she smiled brightly at him.

The two people on the cloud swing were like a couple of gods, walking on the wind and clouds. Sometimes they stood hugging each other, sometimes they sat side by side. From the high cloud swing came Lan Qingwu's happy and carefree laughter like a silver bell.

Lan Qingwu has become obsessed with the Cloud Swing these days, and whenever he has free time, he pesters Emperor Shenwu to go on the Cloud Swing.

That morning, the two of them sat quietly hugging each other on a cloud swing. The wind was clear and the clouds were light, and their shadows formed a pair. Lan Qingwu softly sang a beautiful and melodious song. The singing attracted pairs of birds, which flew up and down not far from the emperor and the empress, and refused to leave.

After a few days, there seemed to be some movement in the outer palace of Miaoling Palace, and some officials' families arrived there in advance.

This day, Lan Qingwu walked in the morning light and arrived at the lotus platform in the lotus pond.

She was not wearing the queen's palace dress, but only an orange-red flowing brocade dress. She didn't even wear a crown, only a lotus flower on her forehead.

Lan Qingwu sat leisurely on the lotus platform. Her white hands gently brushed the lotus in the pond. Her eyes moved, and she gently folded a lotus in her palm.

It was at this moment that Jiang Yuxian, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, broke into the lotus pond.

She was originally unable to enter, but as the niece of Concubine Jiang, she was holding the Concubine's jade token and wanted to come to the palace to pay a visit to Concubine Jiang, so she was able to enter without any obstruction.

However, Jiang Yuxian was attracted by the scenery near the Lotus Pavilion, and despite the repeated dissuasion of her maid, she insisted on coming to the Lotus Pond.

Jiang Yuxian was impressed and amazed by the lotus flowers in the lotus pond. After walking a few steps, she saw a woman in ordinary clothes sitting alone in the center of the lotus platform. There was no one around her. Jiang Yuxian concluded that the woman was just a palace maid. But she didn't even wear a decent piece of jewelry, only a hair chain on her forehead.

Jiang Yuxian's maid was about to persuade her master to go back, but Jiang Yuxian shook off the maid's hand. She stepped forward and shouted, "Where are you from? How dare you secretly pick lotus flowers here? Can you afford to pay with your life for that?"

Lan Qingwu turned around in surprise when he heard the voice, only to see a young lady from an official family whom he had never met before. She had quietly come out in the early morning to enjoy a moment of peace alone, but she didn't expect to meet a stranger. Ru Ping should be here soon!

Lan Qingwu was surprised, but Jiang Yuxian was even more surprised. She stared blankly at Lan Qingwu's beautiful face, the lotus petal on her forehead, and her whole body of elegance and grace. Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment flashed through her mind. This woman could not possibly be a palace maid!

Jiang Yuxian was stunned, wanting to say something else, but her maid heard other noises and hurriedly whispered to dissuade her, "Miss, this is the palace. We shouldn't offend the noble. Besides, we don't know each other...Miss, what's that noise? Is it for us? Let's get out of here quickly!"

Jiang Yuxian was also distracted and no longer cared about Lan Qingwu, so she hurriedly left the lotus pond with her maid.

Lan Qingwu slowly put down the lotus in her hand and shook her head gently. Then she stood up and left the lotus platform.

After returning to Qingliang Palace, Lan Qingwu was helped by the palace servants to put on the phoenix robe and ordinary clothes. Layer by layer, she put on the headdress, earrings, hair crown, jade pendants...

As Lan Qingwu was being helped to dress, he asked, "Ruping, have any of the officials' wives entered the outer palace of Miaoling Palace in advance these days?"

Ru Ping thought for a moment and said, "There are a few official families. I heard they originally lived in the suburbs. Ah! There are also a few families who came from the countryside. It seems that His Majesty is going to use them!"

Lan Qingwu nodded, and thought casually, maybe that little girl was from the countryside. At this moment, Lan Qingwu did not expect that this little girl would soon set off an uproar.

After being attracted by the lotus pond, Jiang Yuxian witnessed another dazzling scene!

The lofty seven-colored cloud swing and the noble, handsome, wise and powerful man dazzled Jiang Yuxian's eyes and mind!

Jiang Yuxian looked at the condescending man and woman with envy and admiration, envying the woman's endless grace and admiring the man's natural dignity and supreme power.

It was five days later that Concubine Jiang arrived at Miaoling Palace with the concubines, civil and military officials and their families.

On that day, Lan Qingwu issued an imperial decree to allow all the concubines in the six palaces and the families of officials to rest for a day. It was only for the second time that Concubine Jiang led the concubines in the six palaces and the families of officials to pay a visit to Lan Qingwu.
