Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

After Zhou Cairen learned that the emperor was going to take people to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat, he sat alone in his room for a long time, and finally went to Ruichang Palace.

When Zhou Cairen went to Ruichang Palace, Qingzhi, Qingdai and the others were packing up the things that Lu Wanning and the fourth princess were going to bring for the summer vacation.

Zhou Cairen tentatively mentioned this summer trip to Lu Wanning, "I didn't expect that the emperor would go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat this year. The empress must be on the entourage this time, right?"

Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "The accompanying list hasn't come out yet, so who can say for sure, but we just pack it up first."

Zhou Cairen smiled and said: "Based on the emperor's love for the empress, if the empress is not included in the entourage, the others will have no hope."

Lu Wanning glanced at Zhou Cairen, frowned slightly and said, "No one can tell what the emperor is thinking, anything is possible before the list comes out."

After saying this, Lu Wanning didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Zhou Cairen, but changed the subject and said: "I just made a new kind of incense yesterday, and the smell is very fresh and elegant. It’s just right to burn in hot weather, you smell it, do you like it?”

Zhou Cairen was so focused on talking to Lu Wanning about taking her to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat just now, he didn't notice that Lu Wanning changed the incense here at all.

At this moment when Lu Wanning mentioned it, she noticed that the fragrance in the temple was indeed different from the past. It was lighter than the fragrance in the past, just like the breeze stroking the mountains, bringing bursts of 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 doesn't have much interest in incense at this time.

But on the surface, she still praised: "Of course the incense made by the empress is not bad."

Lu Wanning said: "If you like it, take some back and use it later."

Zhou Cairen heard the words and said: "The concubine thanked the empress first, but even with such good incense, the summer in Beijing this year is still very difficult. I can't calm down either."

What Zhou Cairen said was very clear, but Lu Wanning still didn't directly promise her anything.

The emperor has not yet said who will draft the accompanying list for this summer vacation in Qingning Mountain. Most likely, the emperor has an idea in his own mind. If the emperor asks her opinion, or if there is a chance, she can raise it with the emperor. Mention Zhou Cairen.

However, all she can do is to mention Zhou Cairen to the emperor when she has the opportunity. As for the result, she can't guarantee it.

Moreover, Lu Wanning always felt that Zhou Cairen's sudden desire to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat might not have a simple purpose.

She doesn't know Zhou Cairen's real purpose now. If she agrees to Zhou Cairen rashly, she really finds a way to get Zhou Cairen to join the travel list. trouble.

She thought that at the very least, she had to figure out why Zhou Cairen went to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat before deciding whether to help Zhou Cairen.

Therefore, regarding Zhou Cairen's thoughts, she could only smile and say: "Who says it's not, this summer is indeed a bit difficult, and I've also been restless recently, but I can calm down when making incense Come on, why don't you give it a try?"

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

He didn't achieve his goal, and Zhou Cairen didn't want to stay with Lu Wanning any longer, just as Qingzhi walked in with Lu Wanning's Jiugaoqin in his hand, Zhou Cairen got up when he saw this, and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to do here, I'll leave first, and come back to bother the empress again."

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 a little strangely.

From Qingzhi's point of view, Zhou Cairen has been unfavored for so many years, and she seems to have given up competing for favor in front of the emperor. Why does she suddenly want to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat?Could it be that they simply can't stand the hot weather in central Beijing?

Lu Wanning nodded, and said to Qingzhi: "Go and ask Zhou Man to find out when the emperor last went to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat, and who were the princes and ministers accompanying him at that time."

Lu Wanning had a guess in her mind, and when Zhou Man heard the news, she would know whether her guess was right or not.

Qingzhi responded, looked at the Jiugaoqin in her hand, and asked Lu Wanning: "Mother, then this piano..."

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

She hasn't played the piano for a while, but this time she can play the piano well after going out to relax.

Hearing this, Qingzhi took the Jiugaoqin to Qingdai and asked her to pretend it.On the other hand, he went to find Zhou Man and asked her to inquire about what Lu Wanning had explained.

The last time Luo Chengjing went to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat and the accompanying princes and ministers was not a secret, it sounds easy.

It didn't take long for Zhou Man 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. At that time, there were many princes and ministers accompanying him. This is the list I compiled. Take a look." Zhou Man said and The list in hand was handed over to Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning took the list and glanced at it casually, and saw the three kings of Yujun.

Lu Wanning put together the list and thought: Sure enough, there is Prince Yu.

Since King Yujun was in the entourage last time, does that mean that there must be King Yujun among the entourage this time?

Zhou Cairen wanted to go to Qingning Mountain this time, probably for the purpose of Prince Yu.

Lu Wanning knew that Zhou Cairen wanted to avenge her sister, and she also sympathized with Zhou Cairen's sister, and wanted to make Yu Jun Wang bad luck, but this did not mean that she was willing to take the risk to help Zhou Cairen, unless Zhou Cairen was willing Confess your purpose and plan to her, otherwise she won't help Zhou Cairen.

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

Lu Wanning thought that Zhou Cairen had given up, so she put the matter aside.

Along with the entourage list comes the travel time.

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

It is only three days away from now. In fact, as early as when Luo Chengjing intended to go to Qingning Mountain to escape the summer heat, the Forbidden Army, the Ministry of Rites and other relevant departments were already making preparations. Now the preparations that should be made have already been prepared , These three days are reserved for the concubines in the harem to pack their things.

The entourage in the Summer Palace this time is not too many, but it is not too small.
