The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu was silent for a moment: "Why is Your Majesty so clear about what I said before entering the palace?"

He asked this completely knowingly. With Yinlongwei in hand, the movements in the capital could not be concealed from Shang Junlin. Since he was selected to enter the palace, it is normal for him to be investigated.

"I know that King Yue used to conceal his identity and approached you, and then you had a conflict," Shang Junlin pinched the gloomy chin, turned his head over, and turned to him, "Ayu, answer my question."

Shang Jun's eyes were dark, staring at Shen Yu without blinking, and a cold breath swept in.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes uncomfortably: "Isn't Your Majesty very clear about my thoughts? Why should Your Majesty care about King Yue, what is he? Is there anything in your body that is comparable to Your Majesty?"

"As for the matter between me and the King of Yue, Your Majesty must know my temperament very well. For a person who has approached me with impure purposes from the very beginning, how sincere can I return him?"

Shen Yu knew that since Shang Junlin asked, he would definitely not be able to mediate this matter in his heart. No matter what his feelings for Shang Junlin were now, he didn't want King Yue to become a thorn between them.

Between him and the King of Yue, the previous life was completely broken, and there will be no involvement in this life.

"I know that King Yue is not a good person," Shang Jun rubbed his gloomy chin carefully, "Ayu, I don't doubt you, I just..."

"I know," Shen Yu covered Shang Junlin's mouth, "Your Majesty doesn't need to say this, I should have explained to you about the King of Yue. I said that at the beginning, but it was just for the sake of being angry with the King of Yue. Now it seems that maybe It’s a prophecy made in the dark, the only difference is that I’m not interested in finding a substitute.”

"If I love someone, I will do whatever I can to get him. Even if I don't get it, I won't do anything like looking for a substitute. What's more, how can King Yue be worthy of him?"

Shen Yu's eyes were arrogant and wanton, and Shang Junlin knew that what he said was what he thought.

Shang Junlin released the hand that clamped Shen Yu's chin, and suddenly took the person into his arms: "I see, Ayu."

Shen Yu patted Shang Junlin's back to appease: "Your Majesty don't need to think too much, there is no leading edge between King Yue and me, and there will be no follow-up."

Shang Junlin put his head on Shen Yu's shoulder: "Who is Ayu's fate?"

"Of course it is Your Majesty. With His Majesty here, where can you get others? Is His Majesty so unconfident in yourself?"

After getting Shen Yu's accurate answer, the haze that had been in Shang Junlin's heart for many days was blown away by the wind, and he tightened his arms, wishing he could rub Shen Yu into his body.

Seeing that Shang Junlin was appeased, Shen Yu was also relieved. He didn't want King Yue to become a barrier between them.

Entering summer, the weather is getting warmer, and the courtiers got the news that they will go to the summer palace this year, and started to prepare.

While preparing, I couldn't help but be curious.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly go to the Summer Palace this year? A few years ago, when a minister proposed it, he rejected it."

"Your Majesty has never enjoyed it, but this time it may be because of your noble lord."

"Don't care what the reason is, the emperors of Dahuan will go to the summer palace every year, except for our current majesty, to be honest, the summer in the capital is really too hot, you can go there to escape the heat."

The one who spoke was the official who had written to His Majesty several times to go to the palace to escape the summer. He thought that until he left office, he would have to spend the summer in the capital, but he did not expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the clothes on Shen Yu's body are getting thinner and thinner. His body temperature is still as cold as before, and it is very comfortable to hold him in his arms. Shang Junlin will hold him in his arms whenever he has time.

This is bitterly depressing.

The man is very angry, and it is fine in winter. It is a big personal-shaped heater. Shen Yu is nestled in his arms, and the constant heat is coming, which is very comfortable.

It was different in summer. Every time he was hugged by Shang Junlin for a while, he would sweat all over his body.

There is a small lake in Yuzhang Palace, and a pavilion is built on the lake. Since the weather is hot, this place has become Shen Yu's favorite place.

The pavilion is arranged in a brand new look according to the gloomy preferences, with light-colored veils hanging around it, ice in the corners, and the cool breeze blowing over the water, bringing bursts of coolness.

Shang Junlin returned to Yuzhang Palace after finishing his government affairs, looked around the house but found no one, and walked straight to the pavilion.

There is always no shortage of ice in the palace, but Imperial Physician Gu said that Shen Yu should not be too greedy for the cold if he is not in good health, and there will never be too much ice in the house. Even though Shen Yu is afraid of the cold in winter, in summer, he is the one who is most greedy for the cold.

After the pavilion was cleaned up, the place where Shen Yu came most often became this place. Shang Junlin lifted the veil and saw Shen Yu half leaning on the couch reading a book.

Xiao Menggong just took a fan and fanned it gently behind Shen Yu.

The palace servant knelt down to greet him, Shen Yu put down the book in his hand, and sat up: "Is your majesty finished?"

"Well." Shang Junlin walked to Shen Yu and sat down next to him. When setting up the pavilion, due to space constraints, the soft couch placed inside was much smaller than that of Yuzhang Palace, and Shang Junlin was satisfied. A small wish.

As soon as Shang Junlin approached, he brought a burst of heat, Shen Yu hid aside, and was caught by the man.

"Where is Ayu hiding?"

"It's so hot." Shen Yu refused to stick to Shang Junlin.

"There is ice in the pavilion, let me hold it for a while." Shang Junlin tightly shackled the gloomy waist with one hand and did not let him leave.

"Don't your majesty feel hot?" Shen Yu was helpless.

Shang Junlin rubbed his cheek: "Ayu is very cold."

"But Your Majesty is very hot." Shen Yu leaned out, wanting to stay away from the man.

"Ayu still likes to drill into Zhen's arms in winter, why did you start to dislike it first?" Shang Junlin held down Shen Yu's back and pressed the person into his arms.

Shen Yu gave up the struggle and half-squatted in the man's arms, "Your Majesty also knows that it is winter."

There was ice in the pavilion, but it wasn't that hot. Shen Yu lay down quietly for a while, and the temperature on his body slowly dropped. He knew that the man would not let him go, so he simply found a comfortable position and took it aside. Keep reading the book.

"How is the recent ice usage in your house?" Shang Junlin asked Mu Xi, who was waiting on the side.

Mu Xi said the amount, which was strictly in accordance with the amount ordered by Shang Junlin, and Shang Junlin nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Yu was speechless and bumped his head against the man's chest: "Your Majesty has given me death orders for the people in the palace, are you still worried that I will use more ice?"

"Ayu forgot the last time he almost contracted the cold because of his greed for the cold?" Shang Junlin pinched his earlobe.

Shen Yu lowered his head in a guilty conscience. The weather suddenly became hot in those few days, and he couldn't stand it, so he asked the palace servants to put more ice in the bedroom. If Shang Junlin hadn't found out in time and evacuated some, he would most likely fall ill due to greed for cold. . After that time, Shang Junlin strictly controlled the amount of ice used in his palace.

Shen Yu read the script for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Your Majesty, is it only the powerful family in the capital that can use ice?"

"Some big businessmen can do it too, why?"

Dahuan’s summer ice is mostly hidden ice. Not to mention the huge amount of engineering, not much can be preserved. Some capable families will hide ice by themselves. If they don’t have this condition, they will choose to buy it, but because of the quantity and the price They tend to be more expensive, and ordinary people rarely buy them.

"I just suddenly thought of an ice-making method, and it is very simple. If you can look at ice-making, the people of Dahuan can also use it." The method Shen Yu said was from the book, as the protagonist in the book. One of Shen Qingran's golden fingers has brought him some benefits.

"What method?" Shang Junlin became interested.

"Saltpeter dissolves in water to get ice."

Shen Yu ordered people to fetch saltpeter and water, tested it, and got ice.

Looking at the freshly baked ice in the cold air, a complex color flashed in Shen Yu's eyes.

After obtaining this method in the previous life, King Yue immediately killed all those who knew it, and then arranged for a group of dumb slaves to make ice for him, and then sold it at a high price.

In his previous life, Shen Yu didn't know that the ice-making method was so simple. When he knew that King Yue was using dumb slaves to make ice, he thought there was some hidden secret in it.

"This method is really convenient." Shang Junlin felt that there was not much difference between the newly made ice and the Tibetan ice. Compared with storing ice in winter and storing it in summer, saltpeter was much easier.

"With this method, ordinary people can also use ice in summer." Mu Xi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

The things were given to Shang Junlin, and Shen Yu didn't care. How Shang Junlin used it was his business, as long as he didn't become a money-gathering tool like the King of Yue in the end.

He knew that Shang Junlin would not, otherwise he would not take these things out.

Shen Yu wiped his hands and lay back on the couch. There was an extra basin of ice in the pavilion, which made it even cooler.

The palace people kept turning their attention to the newly made ice, with unstoppable curiosity in their eyes. Shang Junlin also stood beside the ice and watched for a while before sitting back on the couch.

Once the news of the new ice-making method was announced, it caused an uproar in the imperial court. Everyone has experienced how hot the summer in Beijing is. Those who can store ice will definitely store more in winter. Ice can only be purchased at a high price in summer. If ice can be made in summer, it will bring greater convenience.

"I haven't disclosed the recipe to the public for the time being," Shang Junlin changed his court clothes and walked towards depression. "The court will control it for a while. If the conditions are ripe in the future, it will be decided whether to make it public."

The unified pricing by the imperial court can prevent the ice produced from falling into the hands of a small number of nobles and become a weapon for them to make money, and it can also prevent some unscrupulous merchants from selling the ice produced to other places in Dahuan at a high price.

"Your Majesty decides." Shen Yu had no opinion.

The day to go to the Summer Palace was fixed, and the Yuzhang Palace was also busy.

A mighty group of people went to the summer palace, and Shen Yu was directly arranged at the residence of Shang Junlin.

The summer palace was built on the mountainside, and as soon as you got up, you could feel a cool breeze, and you narrowed your eyes in a sullen and comfortable way.

"Has your majesty not arranged a place for me?" Shen Yu looked at the surrounding arrangements, there are many things that are obviously only used by emperors.

"Ayu naturally wants to live with me." Shang Junlin didn't give him a chance to refuse, and directly picked up the person and walked inside.

The palace people lowered their heads and did their own business without looking sideways.

Shen Yu has become accustomed to Shang Junlin holding him around at every turn, and familiarly wraps his arms around the man's neck and blows lightly in his ear:

"I've always lived on His Majesty's side, those ministers wouldn't say anything, would they?"

Shang Jun's footsteps stopped, his eyes darkened, he quickly put the person on the bed, and slid his fingers across his cheek: "Then Ayu should behave better."
