Chapter 186: Another Fall

In the midsummer's day, under the baking sun without a trace of clouds, as if it has run out of rain in the early spring and the capital would be shrouded in heat. With the occasional hot wind, and even the trees were lazy, not to mention people couldn't stand the heat.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before you set out for the Mountain Resort to spend the hot summer. The summer resort was surrounded by green hills isolating the scorching sun. The wind was chilled and refreshing the mountains. Sitting on the coolest balcony of the Mountain Resort, drinking a cup of scented tea, you felt relaxed.

Emperor: This summer seemed to be warmer than usual.

Queen Rong: It is warmer than in previous years, and I wouldn't have come to the Mountain Resort so early in previous years.

Noble Consort: You didn't know if it was your illusion, it seemed that the Mountain Resort was not as cool as it used to be.

On the balcony, everyone was talking about the summer heat, you held the fan and listened quietly. Hu Ling came forward and served you scented tea. She suddenly looked at you carefully.

Hu Ling: Your Highness, you don't look very well. Is it heatstroke?

Xiu Ying: [Subconsciously caressing your face] Huh? I don't feel wrong.

People all looked at you when they heard Hu Ling . The Noble Consort put her tea on the table and chuckled.

Noble Consort: How would anyone get heatstroke here, in this breeze? I think the princess looks fine I don't see the slightest sign of heatstroke.

Since the 7th Prince was sent to Mount Huayin, the Noble Consort has been keeping an eye on you. But you've got used to it. Besides, she has done nothing to you except a few bad words. Queen Rong looked carefully at your face and said with concern.

Queen Rong: I don't think you look good as well. Have some more tea to get rid of the heat. Lan Zhi, send for the physician.

In fact, you didn't feel wrong, but you had to let the physician come. The physician also said that you were fine.

Queen Rong: I'm glad that you're okay.

Emperor: On such a hot day, it's indeed easy to get heatstroke. We have to pay more attention to prevention.

Hu Ling: I've just learned that there is a waterfall in the back of the mountain outside the villa, which is not only spectacular, but also with the wind blowing along the waterfall, it's cooler than in the villa. I think we can go for a walk after sunset, Your Highness.

Queen Rong: It sounds good. We can enjoy the beauty of the waterfall and cool ourselves down. What do you think, Your Majesty?

Emperor: I still have documents to look at later. You can take everyone to have a look! Hu Ling, why don't you go to see the waterfall as well?

Hu Ling: Your Majesty, you have documents to look at. I should wait on your side. How could I enjoy the view alone? I can go next time.

Queen Rong: Your Majesty, then I will take everyone to the waterfall. Princess should come with us to avoid heatstroke.

You were short of interest and were looking for an excuse to refuse, but the Emperor smiled and started speaking first.

Emperor: She likes views, she will go.

After sunset, Queen Rong led the concubines to the waterfall. The Emperor said that you would go so you had no choice but follow quietly at the back. But the view of the mountains and forests at sunset was picturesque and kind of unreal. Slowly, you were dazzled by the beautiful scenery and slowed down your pace.
