All The Bigshots Love Me [Quick Transmigration]

When Jiang Rui came to Chongzheng Palace, he could always be seen sitting behind the bookcase. But unlike the situation where Lu Xingzhou came to talk to her from time to time before, now Lu Xingzhou saw her, although his face was smiling, his tone was unfamiliar and distant, like the relationship between the two when she first became the Empress Dowager Xie.

Jiang Rui only assumed that she hadn’t noticed his abnormality and acted like it was still the same as before. If he hadn’t come to talk to her, she would never speak, only accompanied the Little Emperor.

But many times, she could feel the sight secretly observing.

That gaze sometimes fell on her face, scanning her expression over and over again. Sometimes it falls on her hand holding the book, especially when she raises her hand slightly and the sleeves slide down, and the sight that gathers on her wrist can almost feel the heat.

If she noticed something, she glanced back, and the person behind the bookcase smiled and calmly looked away.

If there is no response, it will take a long time for the line of sight to be retracted. At this time, Jiang Rui seems to have skimmed towards him unintentionally, and nine times out of ten, she can catch a glimpse of a slightly gloomy face.

After a while, the weather became hotter and hotter. When the first emperor was there, in previous years, he would take his favored concubine and prince out of the palace to escape the summer.

Now that he is not there and the Little Emperor is still young, this matter naturally has to be arranged by Jiang Rui. In the past few days, there have been imperial concubines who have come to her to ask if she wants to go to escape the summer heat this year.

Jiang Rui did not want to stay in the capital either. Although there was ice, it was still hot. Besides the imperial garden, there were few trees in the other parts of the palace. She looked out and looked horribly yellow and depressed.

But at the moment, the entire palace is in the hands of Lu Xingzhou, so he had the final say whether to escape the summer heat or not.

On this day, Jiang Rui arranged a few words for the Little Emperor to write and walked out of the inner hall by herself.

“Lu Gonggong, is it free right now?”

As soon as she walked out, Lu Xingzhou had already noticed it, but was pretending to look at the memorials in front of him. When she spoke, he put down the memorial, got up, and led her to sit down. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, “Niangniang has something to say, please.”

“It’s been getting hot recently. Your Majesty is young and several imperial concubines in the palace are weak and can’t stand the heat. I think it’s time to arrange to go out of the palace to escape the heat.”

Lu Xingzhou stared down at the teacup under his hand. The lid of the cup did not fiddle with the tea leaves for a while. The smile at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, but the tone could not be heard in the words, “Niangniang really did this to escape the summer heat, or—”

Or is it to avoid people?

Jiang Rui raised her eyebrows slightly, “Go to the summer villa and don’t escape the summer heat, what else?”

“Niangniang really doesn’t understand?” The meaning of Lu Xingzhou is unknown.

Jiang Rui said, “If Lu Gonggong has something to say, you might as well say it directly.”

Lu Xingzhou looked up into her eyes.

Jiang Rui does not dodge.

He suddenly smiled and the smile did not reach his eyes, “The minister was wrong. It is not that Niangniang doesn’t understand, but the minister has never understood Niangniang.”

After saying this, he put down his teacup, got up, and left.

The tea is good tea, Jiang Rui watched him walk away, and took another sip.

Sanqi followed closely behind Lu Xingzhou. Looking at the figure of the Governor in front of him and then looking back at Niangniang who was sitting in the same place drinking tea, he suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. It had happened not long ago and it was like this at that time. Niangniang flicked her sleeves and left, while the Governor drank tea unhurriedly.

Just at some point, the roles of the two were reversed.

Returning to the Chang’an Palace, Hanyan said expectantly: “Niangniang, did Lu Gonggong agree to escape the summer heat?”

“It needs to be discussed, it must not be a trivial matter.”

“Okay.” Hanyan’s face collapsed.

Jiang Rui smiled and said, “What kind of expression are you? If you want to go, you can always go, just a few days earlier and a few days later.”

Hanyan said worriedly: “I hope it is as Niangniang said.”

There was still some light after dinner, Jiang Rui leaned on the cool couch in front of the window. Hanyan stayed beside her and fanned.

It was sweltering all day and only then did the wind blow with a hint of coolness.

Jiang Rui looked at the red light in the air boredly. Suddenly, she noticed something. She turned her head and listened for a few breaths on the side. She said to Hanyan: “There are two Yunjin brocades in the warehouse. While it is cool now, you go and take it out and send it to the palace of Concubine Jing, saying that I made clothes for the Fifth Princess.”

“Why do you want to send something to someone else again?” Sullen and unhappy, Hanyan still got up and went.

After she left, Jiang Rui put one hand on her cheek and looked at the last glimmer of light in the western sky. Slowly, the twilight finally engulfed all the colorful clouds. The palace maid who should have held the lamp did not appear for some reason and only a drowsy man was left inside and outside the house.

Behind her, imperceptible footsteps slowly approached.

The author has something to say:

Governor: She likes me, she doesn’t like me, she likes me…

If you are depressed, you will be perverted, and if you are perverted, it will be easy to do.

Sanqi whispered: Originally perverted…

Sanqi, death.
