The scenery in the imperial garden is different.

The drizzle stopped and stopped, and although the clouds covered it, the heat that had dissipated was quietly returning.Su and Qingyao walked around the promenade, standing on a high place from afar, looking at the delicate flowers that had returned to life. "Your Majesty." Madam Xu grasped the silence, her old face was full of worry: "This old slave has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Let's talk." Su and Qingyao raised their hands slightly, their eyes lingering in the colorful flowers.

"You personally instructed Concubine Ji to practice the piano today, and we looked outside and felt that it was not the case." Madam Xu pondered for a while, looked up at the profiles of Su and Qingyao, and said, "Your Majesty may not know, But we saw it clearly. Concubine Ji’s coquettish attitude at that time was just like a beautiful woman who met her lover for the first time. It was rumored in the palace that the relationship between Concubine Ji and the empress was extraordinary, and the old slave was from the palace of the empress. Is it true? Naturally, the difference is clear. The empress will not have anything to do with any concubine in the palace, and I am afraid that concubine Ji is an exception. Her thoughts about the empress are extraordinary."

Nanny Xu's words rang in Su and Qingyao's ears, and finally turned into a breeze that shook her heartstrings.The words about Concubine Ji sounded more like jokes, Su and Qingyao became more silent.In the distance, there were a few indistinct figures moving slowly, Su and Qingyao looked away, and heard Madam Xu say again: "Your Majesty, the rumors may come true in the future, Your Majesty should keep a proper distance from Concubine Ji. The old slave has always been devoted to his empress, lest she will be involved in trouble. The day to leave the palace to escape the summer heat is coming, empress, you..."

"Go back to the palace." Su and Qingyao gave Nanny Xu a cold look, and immediately stopped what she was going to say next.Going back to the corridor from a high place, Su and Qingyao were always pondering Nanny Xu's words.Indeed, she should keep a proper distance from Ji Feiyan.No matter it was the nonsense with Ji Feiyan several times from the front, or she suddenly changed her temper and covered up her charming attitude.Madam Xu's words reminded her that human nature is hard to change, and if she can change suddenly, there must be a purpose.

So, what is the purpose of Concubine Ji's transformation?Su and Qingyao didn't intend to know.

************************************************** *************

After the gentle drizzle, the imperial city finally ushered in the suffocating heat.

The young emperor no longer endured the heat, and moved forward his trip to the summer resort.

The guards under the emperor's order followed the leader's arrangement to protect the emperor.The empress dowager, the empress, two characters next to the emperor are also closely guarded.The concubines were arranged in gorgeous carriages, eating plums while looking for interesting topics.From the start of the mighty team, there are dedicated guards to wipe out the surrounding people.There were also people who wanted to see the emperor and empress. They poked their heads out from the alleys, but were rudely scolded by the soldiers on both sides, and ran back scrambling.

The Mountain Resort is about two or three days away from the Imperial City.

Women are proud and expensive, so naturally they can't bear to travel for a long time.As soon as the mighty team left the capital, the young emperor ordered to set up camp on the spot and set off after resting.He found the queen immediately, took the place of the maid before the sedan chair landed, and stretched out his hand to support Su and Qingyao. "It's been a hard journey, and I've ordered you to camp here to rest. Qingyao, at the foot of the imperial city, the scenery is beautiful. Why don't you go for a walk with me?"

"Alright." Su and Qingyao agreed.

The sun was setting, and the figure was tilted.The young emperor took the initiative to hold the queen's hand and walked slowly among the lush forests.Behind them, a small team of elite guards followed from a distance, for fear that an accident would happen and disturb Sheng Jia.The wild beasts in the forest are unknown, and the singing of birds can be heard endlessly.The young emperor is suave and graceful, walking gracefully.Worried that the atmosphere between the two of them was too depressing, the young emperor had to find some topics: "Every year at this time, it has never been so hot. This year, it is unusual."

"With such weather, I'm afraid the place will be drought and the crops will be lost." Su and Qingyao said.

Hearing this, the young emperor felt displeased.He didn't show it, just sighed softly, and said: "The queen is too worried. In recent years, the weather has been smooth and the people live in peace, and there are few disaster victims in places. Although the weather this year is a little weird, it will not cause the crops to fail. You Look, the beauty of the mountains and forests is a masterpiece of heaven, why doesn't the empress put aside her worries and accompany me to enjoy the scenery quietly? You and I, husband and wife, haven't walked hand in hand like this for a long time."

"As the king of a country, the emperor should care about the people at all times." Rather than enjoying the scenery with others, Su and Qingyao are more used to being alone quietly.What's more, the emperor moved forward the departure time of the summer resort for the second time, which made Su and Qingyao feel inappropriate.Through this time of getting along, she has something to say: "As a queen, my concubine naturally cannot interfere in state affairs. But, has the emperor ever reflected on it? Just because he couldn't bear the scorching heat, he advanced the date that was already advanced, and so on. It shouldn't be done."

The elite guards not far behind them stopped after walking slowly for a short distance.The young emperor withdrew his smile, and his interest in admiring the wind and talking about the scenery was instantly extinguished by Su and Qingyao. "In the whole world, even the ministers of the court, there is no one who preaches to me as boldly as the queen." He let go of Su and Qingyao's hands, and when he put them down completely, he wanted to hold them again, but was caught by the other party. Fleeing away, the calm brows were also covered with a layer of anger: "Are you so unwilling to get close to me? For so many years, so many years, I have allowed you to spoil you and follow you, but what about you? You are my Queen, but she doesn't even want to let me hold her hand! Time and time again, she only knows to use those things to preach to me!"

Su and Qingyao's eyes turned cold.She looked at the young emperor quietly, not intending to respond to his angry words.Now, she is more like a vast and boundless ocean, no matter how violent the wind blows, she remains calm.Perhaps for Su and Qingyao, the young emperor hadn't really lost his childishness at all.Such a man can only be called a boy, not a man.

The atmosphere froze with Su and Qingyao's icy gazes, the young emperor stopped talking, his wide eyes did not dare to look at Su and Qingyao.There were birds singing on the branches beside them. They tilted their heads and looked at the two people under the tree strangely, and their singing became unimaginable. "Qingyao, I shouldn't have treated you like this." The young emperor finally lost his battle in silence.He stretched his brows again, he was at a loss like a big boy, and lost his original attitude: "I just don't want you to teach me every time. Qingyao, why do you always turn a blind eye to my feelings for you? I love you, Why have I ever loved other women?"

The young emperor's confession was as unresponsive as ever.Su and Qingyao pretended not to hear his words, and slowly lowered their eyes. "Your Majesty, it's time to go back," she said.A butterfly flew from nowhere and landed on the shoulders, Su and Qingyao raised their steps slightly, for fear of disturbing it.

It's like this again, and it's like this again.

The young emperor lost his patience for a moment, and walked past Su and Qingyao.When passing by, the butterfly on her shoulder was frightened and flew far away. "Your Majesty." Su and Qingyao stopped him, but they didn't give him a chance to turn around: "Concubines are just the queens of the world. There are countless beauties in the harem. I hope that the Emperor will sincerely find someone he wants."

"Qingyao..." The young emperor stood where he was, slightly raised his head to look at the sky covered by branches and leaves.He probably guessed that Su and Qingyao would say this to him sooner or later. He didn't intend to give up, but he also felt an indescribable loss. "In this world, is there anyone who can make you fall in love?"

"No." Su and Qingyao closed their eyes without distracting thoughts.A charming smile came from her ear, she opened her eyes, the confidence in her heart was filled with the figure in front of her: "Concubine Ji?"
