Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 223 Hot

When Lu Wanning thought about the prince's upbringing, Zhou Cairen also thought about it.

"Xia Meiren and Wang Cairen are both pregnant. This is a happy event, but in the future, who will raise the child after it is born may also be a headache."

Lu Wanning agreed: "Who says it's not, there are still too few high-ranking concubines in the harem."

In the harem, there were only her, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Xi who were above concubines, and Concubine Xi was still "ill".

Lu Wanning heard from Qing Dai that Concubine Xi has become more and more "sick" recently, and she might pass away in a short time, and then only her and Concubine Jing will be left as high-ranking concubines.

Xia Meiren and Wang Cairen happened to be pregnant, the emperor would not let her and Concubine Jing raise one alone, would he?

Lu Wanning thought, even if Luo Chengjing really mentioned it to her at that time, she would refuse it on the grounds that the fourth princess was still young and she would put all her attention on her.

After all, no matter how much you spend on raising other people's children, they are still other people's children.

Zhou Cairen just said that this household was meant to test Lu Wanning, but now that she heard that Lu Wanning had no intention of educating other people's children, she stopped bringing up this topic.

Instead, he changed the subject and talked about the weather.

"I'm afraid this summer will be difficult. It's already so hot before June. How can we live in July?"

Lu Wanning looked at the fourth princess lying on the side, and was also worried. The weather is fine, and it will pass after a while. Besides, there is ice, even if it is hot, it will not be too difficult. But the fourth princess is too young, and the weather is too cold. If it is hot, she will suffer too much.

Zhou Cairen stayed in Ruichang Palace for a while, seeing the sun getting stronger, he got up and said goodbye.

After Zhou Cairen left, the nanny of the fourth princess came in holding the full fourth princess.

Lu Wanning took the fourth princess over, hugged her, then put her on the soft bed beside her, let her lie on the soft couch, and sat beside her to tease her.

Now that the weather is getting hot, if you hold your child in your arms all day long, not only will you feel uncomfortably hot, but your child will also feel uncomfortably hot.

In a few days, it will be June, and after entering June, the weather in the capital becomes hotter day by day.

Lu Wanning, who is not very afraid of heat, feels sad this summer, so let's not mention other people who are afraid of heat.

The fourth princess was only wearing a red bellyband, lying on the bed, and was practicing turning over under the encouragement of Lu Wanning, Qingzhi and others.

But after working hard for a long time, the little fair face of the fourth princess was about to turn red, and she didn't turn over.

The fourth princess didn't give up, she lay down and rested for a while, then tentatively turned over to Lu Wanning's side, but after turning for a long time, she still didn't turn over.

"Fourth princess, you want to do this..." Qing Dai gestured with her hands, almost wanting to demonstrate to the fourth princess herself.

Qingzhi looked at Qingdai speechlessly, and said: "How old is the fourth princess, it's no wonder she can understand your gestures."

Qing Dai said: "I'm also in a hurry."

Listening to the words of the two big maids, Lu Wanning saw that the fourth princess was moving again, so she simply reached out to support the fourth princess's back to help her.

Although the turnaround of the fourth princess was completed with the help of Lu Wanning, it still won applause and praise.

Before Luo Chengjing came in, he heard laughter and talking in the room.

Hearing the laughter in the room, Luo Chengjing walked into the room, and seeing Luo Chengjing suddenly appeared, everyone jumped and knelt down to pay their respects.

Lu Wanning also stood up from the soft bed, and was about to bend over to pay her respects, but Luo Chengjing supported her, and said: "My concubine, you don't need to be polite."

After Luo Chengjing finished speaking, he bent down and hugged the fourth princess who was lying on the soft bed, and asked Lu Wanning, "What did my concubine do just now, I heard it sounded very lively."

Lu Wanning smiled and said, "The concubines watched Chun'er learn how to turn over just now."

"Really?" After Luo Chengjing asked, he turned to smile and said to the fourth princess in his arms: "Our Chun'er is really amazing, we will turn over in just over three months, so smart."

Hearing this, Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, it's too late for you to boast, Chun'er is a talented learner, and she can't stand up by herself."

"What's the matter?" Luo Chengjing said indifferently: "Our Chun'er is so smart, we will definitely learn to turn over soon."

The fourth princess in her arms smiled at Luo Chengjing as if she could understand Luo Chengjing's words.

"Look, our Chun'er also agrees with what the father said, right?"

Luo Chengjing hugged the fourth princess and teased for a while, then put the fourth princess back on the soft bed, and sat down by himself.

After sitting down, Luo Chengjing picked up a small silver fork and put a piece of melon into his mouth, then looked around the room, and saw that there was only an ice basin in the corner of the room farthest from the soft cave. , and said: "Why is there only one ice basin in Aifei's room, but the ice is not enough?"

Since Luo Chengjing entered the room, he felt that Lu Wanning's room was much hotter than Jianzhang Palace. Now seeing that there was only one ice tray in the room, he thought it was because Lu Wanning's place was not enough ice.

Lu Wanning shook her head and explained: "Chun'er is too young and has a relatively weak physique. The imperial physician does not recommend placing too many ice basins in the concubine's room, so the concubine only placed this basin."

Luo Cheng nodded, it didn't matter that the Ministry of Internal Affairs withheld the ice for Ruichang Palace.

"I've been thinking for the past two days that this year is hotter than usual, whether I should go to Qingning Mountain to beat the heat. Since Chun'er can't use ice, let's take her to Qingning Mountain to live for a while."

Qingning Mountain is located in the outskirts of Beijing, and it is the royal summer resort. When the late emperor was here, he would bring his concubines to Qingning Mountain to live there for a month or two every summer. After Luo Chengjing ascended the throne, fewer people went there.

Since Lu Wanning entered the palace, this was the first time Luo Chengjing mentioned going to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat.

Not two days later, the news that Luo Chengjing was planning to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat spread in the harem.

For this summer trip, everyone in the harem naturally wanted to go. Not to mention being taken by the emperor to the summer resort itself is a symbol of favor. After going to the summer resort, you can still get close to the emperor. Let’s talk about the weather It's so hot, who doesn't want to go to a cool summer resort to spend the summer comfortably.

Taking advantage of the fact that the list of people for this summer vacation trip has not yet been released, everyone in the harem is naturally trying their best to join this summer vacation trip.

The one who was more favored was naturally to find Luo Chengjing, who expressed openly and secretly in front of Luo Chengjing that the palace was too hot, and wanted to go with him to escape the summer heat.

Those who are not favored can only find another way, to show filial piety in front of the empress dowager, or to curry favor with the favored concubines, hoping that they can speak for themselves, so that they can also have the opportunity to appear among the summer vacationers.
