Even though this carriage has been refitted extremely finely, and the shock absorption effect has been improved to the best, it is inevitable that there will still be some bumps during driving.
This made it more difficult for Hua Manman to write.
She had to devote more time and energy to write words that satisfied King Zhao.
By the time she finally finished her homework, the sun was almost setting.
The convoy arrived at Yuqing Mountain successfully before dark.
It wasn't the first time that Li Ji came here with the emperor to escape the summer heat. He had long since lost interest in this place, and sat in a wheelchair after getting off the car, looking lazy and bored.
On the contrary, Hua Manman was full of curiosity about this place and kept looking around.
Yuqing Mountain is not far from Shangjing. There are lush vegetation on the mountain, and there are many rare birds and animals for viewing. There is also a large-scale Yuqing Palace in the mountain.
Due to the altitude, the temperature on the mountain is much lower than that at the bottom of the mountain. During the day, it is estimated to be around 20 degrees. It is said that the temperature will be even lower at night.
In previous years, every summer, the emperor would come here to escape the summer heat, usually staying for two or three months.
This year will probably be no exception.
The eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace knew that King Zhao was very favored by the emperor, so he specially arranged for King Zhao a quiet and elegant residence that was relatively close to the emperor's bedroom.
The house has long been packed neatly and everything is available.
King Zhao brought a lot of servant girls and personal guards with him when he went out this time, but the eunuch in charge still chose twelve smart and sensible servants for King Zhao to send, which can be said to be quite thoughtful.
Jinxiu knew that King Zhao didn't like strangers getting close, so she sent all twelve servants to work in the outer courtyard, and they were not allowed to approach King Zhao without permission.
At night, the emperor held a banquet in the main hall, and everyone who came to Yuqing Mountain this time had to attend.
King Zhao is no exception.
He changed into a jet-black long-sleeved gown, his narrow waist was tied with a black leather belt to form a seductive line, his long black hair was fixed by a black jade hairpin, his long and narrow eyebrows were slightly half-closed, revealing a bit of laziness burnout.
Hua Manman also had to change clothes.
However, Li Ji had no intention of leaving.
Seeing Hua Manman standing still, with his long eyebrows slightly raised, he asked with a half-smile.
"Don't you want to change clothes? Why don't you move?"
Hua Manman's cheeks were flushed, and she said shyly: "My lord is here, I am too embarrassed to change my clothes."
Li Ji jokingly said: "You are already the king's child, even if you take off all your clothes in front of the king, it doesn't matter much."
Hua Manman's face turned even redder.
"That being said, but, but..."
Seeing that she was so ashamed that she was about to bury her head in her stomach, Li Ji let her go.
"Forget it, since you don't want to show it to me, I just go out."
After speaking, he turned the wheelchair and left the bedroom.
Seeing that the door was closed, the shyness on Hua Manman's face faded.
She exhaled softly.
If King Zhao insisted on watching her take off her clothes just now, she really didn't know what to do.
Even though she is now King Zhao's concubine and has the obligation to fulfill the husband-wife relationship, she still feels awkward in her heart if she really wants to go that far.
If possible, she hopes to maintain the current relationship with King Zhao forever.
Eat together, read and practice calligraphy together, practice sword together, and even sleep in the same room.
Like two shared roommates.
She will try her best to heal his leg injury and help him avoid the disasters in the original text.
And he provided her with shelter so that she could spend the rest of her life in peace.
That's fine.
