Chapter 422
Everyone in the hall bowed their heads.

Hongli was still talking to himself beside him, and saw Eniang beckoning to him.

Gu Yaoyao called Hongli to come to her, hugged him and told him to stop talking and laughing.

The waste prince... For Long Live,

Say it's important, right?

It doesn't matter either.

After all, they are already abolished princes, and the situation is over.

What's more, Yinzhen is now the crown prince.

However, is the deposed prince really unimportant in Long Live's heart?
Not at all.

Even raising a cat or dog, it would be a long time to be sad if it got lost, not to mention that the deposed prince was once Wansui's favorite son, after all, he was brought up by Wansui himself.

Don't look at Wan Sui who was completely disappointed with the deposed prince and gave up on him.

But no matter how big the resentment is - when a person dies, everything will disappear.

I'm afraid that at this time Wansui is also sad when he hears the news.

What's more, it was still on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the palace was full of jubilation and celebrations, it seemed even more miserable that the deposed prince had left.

……

The development of the matter is not quite as Gu Yaoyao expected.

It wasn't until Hongyun came back from the palace with Ama, and described the situation in the palace these few days to Eniang, that Gu Yaoyao realized: It turned out that the fact that the deposed prince had left did not cause much splash in the palace. .

Of course, Long Live is not without sadness.

But it was just shed a few tears, and said a few words of comfort to the prince's mother-in-law's family, that's all.

The deposed prince was deposed from his position in the East Palace when he was alive, and after his death, he was buried with the prince's etiquette, and everything passed away so quietly.

Above the court, all winds are based on Long live: since long live is nothing more than that, it didn't take long for everyone to stop talking about the abolition of the prince.

As if this person never existed.

Anyway, there is already a new crown prince.

The transfer of power is destined to be smooth and stable.

……

The summer of the 57th year of Kangxi.

This summer seems to be extraordinarily hot, as long as you go out of the room with an ice basin, you will feel your skin burning within a few steps.

People who are pierced by the sun can't open their eyes.

There have been cases in the capital where people were sunburned to death from the heat. At the same time, Henan and Shandong were also severely drought-ridden. It is said that many people lost their lives because of the high temperature every day.

In the event of natural disasters, one must pray, this is to avoid disasters.

On June [-]th, Kangxi "walked to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain" and prayed to the sky, hoping that the rain would come from the sky and save the common people.

After that, it really rained heavily in Beijing and Shandong.

But the rain provided only a small reprieve from the drought—and then the scorching heat intensified.

The cicadas on the tree under the scorching sun could not make a sound—even in the study, Wu Adanda did not dare to call out the princes and grandchildren to give martial arts lessons, for fear that the weather would be careless. If you get heatstroke, something big will happen.

The fourth elder brother also took Gu Yaoyao and the children back to the Old Summer Palace to cool off.

After entering the garden, the two of them took a rest just now, changed their clothes, washed their hands and faces, and their bodies were covered with a layer of sweat inside and out.

The servants added several more ice tripods in—this barely lowered the temperature in the room a little.

When it's hot, eat ice.

The dining room had already delivered all kinds of fruit crushed ice - the fragrant and sweet fruit juice fell on the ice, exuding various clear and pure colors.

Gu Yaoyao himself has a bad stomach these days, and he didn't dare to eat cold drinks like Hong Yun and the others, so he could only ask the servants to prepare a bowl of yogurt.

The yogurt is also iced in advance, with large pieces of fruit pulp added to it, and it can only be eaten when the cold air has dissipated a lot and it is no longer so cold.

Gu Yaoyao scooped it up with a small spoon and delivered it to her mouth one by one.

Whenever this time, she will especially miss the modern air conditioner.

……

Fortunately, at night, the temperature in the Old Summer Palace has finally dropped—there is a gusty lake breeze here, so there is no feeling of humidity, heat and stuffiness. If you sleep on the bed at night, you only need to put an ice tripod on the head of the bed, and the wind from outside the window will blow in. When it reaches people, it becomes a cool breeze.

Gu Yaoyao turned over and put her arms around Yinzhen's waist.

Yinzhen fell asleep in a daze, but turned around instinctively, reached out and hugged her into his arms, and then habitually reached out to take the thin quilt to cover her.

Gu Yaoyao was almost dying of heat, so she quickly stretched out her hand and lifted the quilt: "Master!"

However, the fourth elder brother stretched out his hand to cover her with the quilt again in a daze—still using the method of covering a child with a quilt in winter, covering her tightly for fear that she would catch a cold.

Very considerate.

Gu Yaoyao slapped his hand away, finally broke free from the quilt, sat up and gasped for a while.

Outside, Erman heard the commotion and thought it was the master's order, so he hurried over and said, "Master!"

Gu Yaoyao grabbed the fan next to the pillow and said while fanning the wind, "Bring a vase!"

Although Erman was surprised, he did as he did.

When the vase was brought in, Gu Yaoyao asked her to take at least one-third of the ice from the cauldron and put it into the vase.

Finally, seal the mouth of the vase.

In this way, the vase turned into a big ice pack, and the outer porcelain surface was icy cold to the touch, chilling to the bone.

Gu Yaoyao hugged this vase——finally she was able to sleep soundly
……

When I woke up in the morning, the fourth elder brother had already got up.

Standing in front of the bed with his clothes on, he looked at Gu Yaoyao sleeping soundly while hugging the vase, feeling distressed and funny at the same time: "...Thanks she can figure it out!"

The maidservants also lowered their heads secretly holding back their laughter.

The fourth elder brother shook his head, and sent people to the dining room first to add heat-relieving soup to the side concubine, and then sent people to the ice storage to continue to get the ice bucket, so it may not be necessary to ensure that the temperature will drop during the day.

Then he turned around and went behind the screen to change clothes.

When he came out after changing his clothes, he saw that Gu Yaoyao had already woken up.

She sat up from the bed, looked a little confused, rubbed her eyes, and put on a coat.

The maidservants knelt down to serve her and put on the soft and comfortable flat embroidered shoes in the house.

Gu Yaoyao looked down at the shoes on her feet and stood up.

The fourth elder brother stretched out his hand and took her hand - his hands were frighteningly cold, no different from ice cubes.

Gu Yaoyao jumped forward, hugged his waist, and deliberately pressed his palm against his back vest.

The fourth elder brother's summer clothes were thin, and he was terrified by the cold all of a sudden, shivered, and pretended to sullen his face at her: "...you!"

……

After a few days of cooling off from the summer heat, Kangxi was also invited by Yinzhen to the Old Summer Palace.

Long live your presence—it is a great honour.

Although Kangxi had also visited the Old Summer Palace to appreciate peonies and swim in the lake before, at that time, the fourth elder brother was just an ordinary prince.

Now, the father and son are standing beside the Peony Terrace, and the fourth elder brother is full of vigor, which is quite different from before.
