"On this day of the summer on the head of the pole, it was really hard for the two of you to stand guard like this." Zhuang Mingyue, who was a little worried on her face, reached out and took a few bottles of cool oil from Caixia's hand, "This is a gadget that I have newly researched recently, the two of you will apply it to the two acupoints outside the meridians, and then a few gentle breaths can relieve this feeling of dryness and heat, and it will also prevent the possibility of heat stroke." ”

The two guards, who had never seen such a thing before, looked at the small turquoise bottle that Zhuang Mingyue handed to the two of them, and couldn't help but pull out the cap and sniff it lightly.

At the moment when the bottle mouth was opened, the smell of cool oil had already rushed out, and then rushed all the way into it along the sense of smell of the two of them.

The two people who were still a little dizzy from the sun because the sun was too hot, under the impact of the thick smell of this cool oil, they suddenly felt that this groggy feeling was reduced a lot.

The two of them with bright eyes glanced at each other, and then directly smeared the light green juice in the bottle on the second acupoint outside the meridian as Zhuang Mingyue said just now.

Just like the smell that had just smelled the nose but could alleviate the feeling of drowsiness, the two of them were surrounded by this smell, and they only felt that the boredom that had accumulated in their chests had also been reduced a lot.

The two of them, whose eyes were shining, took the things in their hands into their arms as if they had received a treasure, and then both raised their hands and bowed their hands to Zhuang Mingyue, "Thank you Lord Zhuang for the reward." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who was called Lord Zhuang, didn't care, she was indeed a third-grade official before, although now she had taken the initiative to resign. But in the eyes of these people, she is still a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Maybe one day they will be able to restore the position of these three grades, so they naturally can respect some and respect more, and try to avoid it, if Zhuang Mingyue is restored to his official position, it will be possible to give them the possibility of wearing small shoes because of their attitude.

"Both of you and I are just people who serve the imperial court, not to mention that I am no longer an adult." Zhuang Mingyue, who was smiling, raised her hand and raised her hand to Caixia behind her, "Caixia, take down the box on the car." ”

Caixia, who got the order, responded lightly, and then carried a rather large box on the carriage, "My young lady sees that it is not easy for everyone, so I specially let me bring an extra box, and I also bother the two eldest brothers to distribute it when the time comes." ”

I didn't expect Zhuang Mingyue to bring so many two guards who came over, looking at the box full of goods, the smile on her face couldn't be stopped, "Thank you Lord Zhuang, with such treasures, this will be the hottest head in the middle of the day, and I am not afraid of this hot poison!" ”

For the flattery of the two, Zhuang Mingyue only showed that shallow smile from beginning to end, and then took out the pass token in the palace from his arms, "This is my pass token." ”

The two of them took Zhuang Mingyue's things, looked around, and directly got out of the way, "Since Lord Zhuang has something to do to enter the palace, I am really sorry that we have delayed this long time?" ”

Zhuang Mingyue watched as neither of them looked at the movement of the token in her hand, and a glimmer of light flashed quietly in her eyes, "It's okay, it's not a big deal." In that case, I will enter the palace first, and if you need it in the future, you can go to my shop to get this gadget. ”

After saying this, Zhuang Mingyue didn't stay any longer and left with Caixia, turned around and walked towards the emperor's palace.

When the two of them were far away, they followed

Caixia behind her said with a little doubt: "Miss, although that cool thing is not very expensive, it can be distributed so easily, and it takes a lot of time to prepare the goods." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who didn't tell what she thought in her heart, also understood that Caixia would not understand her approach, "Since I want to enter this deep palace, even if I can't get the support of these people, at least I can't be secretly jealous of them because I have become a red child next to the emperor." ”

The open knife is easy to block, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent.

Caixia, who flashed this thought in her mind, instantly reacted to Zhuang Mingyue's meaning, but after she thought it clearly, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart.

Her master had no ambitions, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to resign and want to retire to the idyllic life when he was appointed as a third-grade official.

But such a person, but now because of those constant involvement and framing, she has to take the initiative to step into the whirlpool of this deep palace.

Not only do you need to be careful with every step, but even the guards in this palace need to give each other some colors.

Caixia looked at Zhuang Mingyue so cautiously, thinking about moving forward step by step, and her heart was even more uncomfortable. But at the same time, she also knew that now that Zhuang Mingyue had made up her mind, her position was as long as she stood by Zhuang Mingyue's side and did everything she could do for her.

Just as the two of them were on the road with their own thoughts, Zhuang Mingyue had already arrived at the gate of the emperor's palace.

Because of Zhuang Mingyue's particularity, the guards who have been guarding the gate of the palace all the year round saw her at a glance when Zhuang Mingyue arrived.

"Zhuang Da...... Mr. Zhuang. Originally, he wanted to call Zhuang Mingyue an adult's guard, but suddenly remembered that Zhuang Mingyue was no longer a person in the palace, so he hurriedly changed his mouth and called her Mr. Zhuang Mingyue as the dean of the academy.

Zhuang Mingyue, who saw all this in his eyes, nodded at the guards with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't know if Father-in-law Liufu is here?" This time, I have to bother the father-in-law of Liufu to tell His Majesty with me. ”

Before the guards could reply, the closed gate of the palace suddenly opened.

Immediately, the father-in-law of Liufu was shy, and walked out of it happily, "Yes, your majesty knows that Lord Zhuang is coming, and specially asked the old slave to come and take you to the study to wait." ”

Seeing Zhuang Mingyue of Liufu, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but deepen a little, "Father-in-law is polite, since Your Majesty has orders, then you have to bother your father-in-law to lead the way." ”

Zhuang Mingyue's not arrogant, polite attitude made Liufu's eyes also stained with a real smile, "Lord Zhuang, please." ”

Saying that, Zhuang Mingyue followed behind Liufu and walked in the direction of the imperial study.

Since before entering the palace that day, the emperor gave Zhuang Mingyue a question about how to deal with the flood disaster, and Zhuang Mingyue not only answered, but also answered it in a way that the emperor did not expect.

The emperor would discuss these things with Zhuang Mingyue from time to time, even after Zhuang Mingyue resigned from his official position, when the emperor encountered such difficulties, he would take the initiative to write to Zhuang Mingyue and ask her about her views on these matters.

Even if Zhuang Mingyue can't say that he can give some suggestions for the emperor every time, he will never say some mediocre and useless words.

It is precisely because of this that even if Zhuang Mingyue brushes the emperor's face and takes the initiative to resign, she has never really angered the emperor, but because of this relationship, she is loved by the emperor.

"Lord Zhuang, this imperial study has arrived, please wait for a while, and the old slave will go in and tell Your Majesty."

Zhuang Mingyue watched Liufu walk in for a moment, and then walked out with a smile again, "Lord Zhuang, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who had a smile on the corner of her mouth from beginning to end, nodded at Liufu, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

Zhuang Mingyue, who stepped into the imperial study, saw at a glance the emperor who was frowning lightly and dealing with affairs, and beside him were standing two palace maids who were waving fans lightly.

However, in this hot summer, how can the coolness of the light waving with this kind of fan like an ornament really make people fade this coolness?

"The people's daughter Zhuang Mingyue sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor......"

However, Zhuang Mingyue's salute was not over yet, and she was directly interrupted by the emperor with a little impatience, "Calm down, don't kneel anymore in this hot summer." ”

Knowing that the emperor was worried about his heart and the weather, Zhuang Mingyue, who had been frowning, got up and took two steps forward.

Only then did he open his mouth and ask softly, "Your Majesty, what problems have you encountered?" If Your Majesty is willing, the people are willing to break down one or two for Your Majesty. ”

"It's rare that you have a heart, or the big drought in the southwest border that I told you a few days ago, now it's getting hotter and hotter every day, I'm afraid it's like this...... Alas......"

The emperor, who had a headache when he thought of this, suddenly frowned a little tighter.

Looking at Zhuang Mingyue, who looked like the emperor, her eyes trembled slightly, and then she raised her hand and took the fan in her hand from the palace maid standing beside the emperor.

After explaining a few words to her in the ear, he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent, the great drought is not as good as waterlogging, it can neither be filled nor stopped, and you have to think of another way." ”

The emperor who heard this, not only did not loosen the slightest frown, but kept rubbing the two acupoints outside the meridian with the cool oil.

Zhuang Mingyue knew that the emperor was really in trouble this time, otherwise he would not have been so upset and irritable when he had already used cooling oil.

For Zhuang Mingyue, who was drooping her eyes, she waved the fan in her hand while thinking about how to deal with the drought in the 21st century.

Although the fastest and most effective way to deal with a major drought is artificial rainfall, it does not apply here. If it is a drought in the south, this method can be tried, even if the effect is not so good because of the equipment, but it can still have some effect.

But compared to the southwest, which is already very hot, this method is not suitable at all.

With Zhuang Mingyue's silence, the atmosphere in the entire imperial study became extremely stuffy for a while.

Zhuang Mingyue's gaze fell unconsciously on it, the ink that was pouring into another inkstone because of the tilt. Suddenly, an idea arose in her mind, and Zhuang Mingyue, whose eyes were slightly shining, put down the fan in her hand.
