Chapter 81: The Cold Palace’s Weather Forecast

Lu Yunluo’s hand shook, and the piggy Peppa (from Peppa Pig cartoon) originally painted on Xue Wei’s face suddenly turned wrong.

“Ai Fei is having quite a good time in Zhen (this emperor)’s Shu Xin Hall?” Ji Wu Jue swept round these few people, all of their faces were painted with flowers, even Lu Yunluo’s face was painted with three flowers.

Hearing Ji Wu Jue’s voice, those three palace maids immediately turned pale with fright and hastily knelt down.

Lu Yunluo stepped forward and saluted with a smile, “Your Majesty has finished correcting the decree?”

Ji Wu Jue coldly swept a glance at her, this woman is getting more and more daring?

She even dared to ask him about his affairs?

His line of sight swept the three palace maids and said, “You guys can go down first.”

“Yes!”

After everyone left, Lu Yunluo picked up the poker cards and came over, “Your Majesty, would you like to play too?”

What answered her was a cool stare.

Lu Yunluo had no choice but to put the poker cards away.

In the coming days, she believed that Ji Wu Jue would play cards with her sooner or later.

After packing up, a palace maid brought a basin of water.

Lu Yunluo scrubbed the painting on her face carefully in front of the bronze mirror.

At this time, the eunuch on duty reported outside the furniture screen with a hurried look, “Your Majesty, there is an urgent secret report from the border!”

Border?

Ji Wu Jue’s expression was deep.

Lu Yunluo’s eyes lit up and she turned to look towards Ji Wu Jue, is this guy leaving again?

Sure enough.

Ji Wu Jue quickly left with big steps, but before he left, he turned back to look at her, frightened Lu Yunluo so much that she quickly moved her eyes elsewhere.

Waiting until the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard, Lu Yunluo then happily called Xue Wei over again, asking her to go and call over these two palace maids, Lu Wei and Hong Wei, to continue playing cards.

Who knows, Xue Wei said, “Niang Niang, the Emperor commanded before he was leaving, for you to copy the Buddhist scriptures tonight, and if you don’t finish copying them, you won’t be allowed to return to the Cold Palace tomorrow.”

After saying that, from the doorway came a few palace maids, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone in their hands one by one, as well as a super thick Buddhist scripture.

Lu Yunluo was dumbfounded, until when, he going to let her copy it?

“Your Highness, all is ready, you start it, ba….” Xue Wei, although very sympathized with Lu Yunluo, but this is the emperor’s intention.

In the end, Lu Yunluo still sat down with a miserable and mournful face and started copying the Buddhist scriptures for the first time in her two lifetimes of life.

Until morning, Lu Yunluo carried the two black circles under her eyes, finally writing the last punctuation mark of the Buddhist scriptures. Her eyelids could no longer hold out, lying on the table and squinting a little. 

Not long after that came several palace maids, pushed to drag her away to wash up, and then sent on that eight people who were carrying the sedan chair.

That sedan chair, all the way was bumpy and shaky. Her just pressed down sleepiness came up again, yawned as she fell asleep in the sedan chair.

When she arrived, Zhou Mama shook her awake.

Her sleepy and spiritless appearance successfully confused Sister Zhou.

As Lu Yunluo got out of the sedan chair and returned to her bedroom to climb into her own big bed to start catching up on her sleep, she hurriedly asked Yin Shuang to go and prepare hot water, so that when her Niang Niang woke up, she could let her have a good wash.

This sleep continued until noon and only then did Lu Yunluo get a full night’s sleep.

After getting up, she washed up and started arranging the afternoon’s work.

She gave Yin Shuang a one hundred taels silver ticket/ paper money and asked her to go to the Imperial Household Department to exchange some one-two silver ingots back.

Because it was going to rain from tomorrow, she found a particularly large piece of paper and wrote up the weather conditions for the next seven days with her writing brush, a sort of weather forecast for the Cold Palace, and had it posted on the fence outside the Cold Palace, reminding the people to bring good rain gear (rain wear such as umbrella, raincoat, etc) if they went out tomorrow.
