"I'll get fat if I eat like this..." Yu Zhiqing touched her belly, feeling a little worried.
Jiang Jiang looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not answer.

Headaches are always the most unbearable when it rains heavily. Besides the crackling sound of rain that can be heard even in the palace, the hot and humid air always makes people feel like they can't breathe.
Naturally, things were not peaceful in the Yangxin Palace. Sun Jinlu stood outside the door with his hands folded in his arms. From time to time, he could hear the scolding from inside the palace and the sound of memorials being knocked to the ground.
The young eunuch serving tea beside him also looked at him cautiously, as if asking if he could go in at this time.
"...If you are not afraid of death, then go ahead." Sun Jinlu pressed his eyebrows and was about to let him go first, but when he turned his head, he saw a graceful figure coming towards him in the distance.
In the hazy rain, the slender figure was holding a plain green oil-paper umbrella. The hem of her skirt was blown open and then fell down by the wind. The mist formed by the raindrops falling on the ground bloomed, making her look like something other than an ordinary person from a distance.
Sun Jinlu was stunned for a moment, and in a flash, the figure came closer.
"Oh, Master Jiang, why are you here? It's raining so hard. Come under the eaves and take shelter."
The young eunuch standing by had never seen Sun Jinlu treat a woman like this before. He had been serving the emperor since he was a child. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he became the chief eunuch. Even the empress dowager in the harem had to give him some face.
Jiang Jiang folded her umbrella, and a maid beside her held it for her. She whispered a thank you and looked at Sun Jinlu again: "I originally came to express my gratitude, but it happened to be raining heavily. I was worried about the emperor's headache, so I dared to come to see him."
When her words reached Sun Jinlu's ears, he automatically translated them into "thinking about the emperor."
Then a smile spread across his face like ripples, his waist and head no longer ached, and he quickly said, "I will go tell the emperor the good news right away."
Jiang Jiang: “…?”
I don't really understand what good news this is, but I can only smile politely :)
The young eunuch holding a mahogany tray saw Sun Qiqi carrying the tray directly into the inner hall. He was worried that Sun Qiqi would be angered by the emperor, and his eyes could not help but look at the woman in front of him.
Master Jiang?
There is no concubine with the surname Jiang in the harem. He just wasn't on duty for one day. What happened?
He grew up in the palace and never attended a private school. He could not describe the beauty of the woman in front of him. Moreover, there were three thousand beauties in the harem, many of whom were stunningly beautiful.
But the woman in front of him had a special affinity that made him unable to help but get close to her.
It's like a green plant growing out of this rotten palace wall.
The sound of approaching footsteps interrupted his thoughts. Before he had time to feel ashamed of himself for being in a daze, he saw Sun Jinlu coming over with a big smile on his face and leading Master Jiang into the inner hall.
"Isn't the Emperor attending to state affairs?" He was confused and looked at the palace maid beside him who was holding an umbrella for someone. "Why would he let the concubines in to serve him at this time?"
The palace maid was a few years older than him. Upon hearing this, she withdrew her gaze from the plain green umbrella and rolled her eyes at him: "Idiot."
Young eunuch: “?”
The palace maid blinked, looked in the direction Jiang Jiang left, and sighed in her heart, why wasn't she the emperor? What worries could she have with such a beauty by her side every day?

Sun Jinlu led Jiang Jiang to the side hall and said, "The emperor is currently in the inner hall dealing with the flood in Chuzhou. He ordered me to take you to the side hall to wash and change clothes first."
Jiang Jiang: “Huh?”
So proactive?
It's not her fault for misunderstanding. In fact, Sun Jinlu's face was full of smiles, as if he was about to get married. In addition, his words were not clear, which made people unable to help but think about that.
