Pick up a princess

Chapter 268 Everyone Has a Secret (39)

Shen Qing returned to the palace for only one day, originally wanted to spend two leisurely days, but unexpectedly Emperor Ming summoned her the next day.She was hesitating whether to put on a slightly ill posture, and thinking that Emperor Ming only summoned her alone, she was unavoidably a little apprehensive.

After all those incidents, she became a little afraid of Emperor Ming... Who knows what he was thinking, knowing that she is not Prince Yi's biological daughter, but agreeing to Hongxuan to marry her, maybe there is something scheming behind him!
On the other hand, Hongxuan, with a calm attitude, took her hand with a smile and said: "What does the emperor ask you, you can answer it directly, don't worry!"

"Are you sure he won't..." Shen Qing made a "click" movement compared to her neck, Hongxuan shook her head and laughed, touched her head and said: "If this is the case, Father will never summon you Yes! Just remember one thing, don't bring up Concubine Min and Fifth Brother in front of Emperor Father!"

Shen Qing nodded, Hongxuan must have his reasons for saying this.But, when she saw Emperor Ming, she forgot what he said.

This time, the place where Emperor Ming summoned her was not the Imperial Study Room, but the Liuyun Garden where he could rest in his spare time.

Liuyun Garden is different from other inner gardens of the Imperial Palace. Behind a bamboo forest, it is backed by a green and towering valley. A pool of hot springs flows slowly into the garden from the center of the valley. It is an extremely elegant and peaceful place.

There is nothing better than cultivating health and character here.

Although Liuyun Garden is big, Emperor Ming never summoned his concubines to sleep here. It is said that apart from the late empress who stayed here, no other woman was honored to stay here overnight.

Shen Qing followed behind the eunuch who led the way, watching the flowers and plants in Liuyun Garden, and always felt that she had arrived at another place different from the imperial palace.

Sighing at the elegance of this place, the eunuch had already led her to Emperor Ming who was resting with his eyes closed, and then quietly retreated.

"I see my father..." Shen Qing saluted cautiously, Emperor Ming slowly opened his eyes, waved his hands and said: "There is only you and Zhen here, there is no need to go through those complicated etiquette..."

That's good... Shen Qing almost raised her hands in agreement, and her original cautiousness was instantly replaced by ease.Perhaps, this has something to do with the environment of Liuyun Garden itself.

Here, listening to the bubbling sound of hot springs and smelling the freshness of the bamboo forest, even the spirit is refreshed.
