On a hot summer day, the weather is as hot as if it were on fire. The air was filled with heat, and the smoke caused all the eunuchs in the Shuang Pavilion to sweat like rain.
"Yes." The emperor was wearing an azure woven long gown, leaning on the couch and reading a book. Maybe it was a little hot, so he pulled his collar.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Liang Jiugong, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, winked at the palace maid and slapped the palace maid, then quietly left and asked the young eunuch in a low voice to bring another basin of ice. As soon as he finished giving the instructions, he turned around and saw Zhang Tingyu, the cabinet scholar, waiting there holding today's booklet.
"Master Zhang, you are here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time." As he said this, he whispered inside: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang is here."
"Send him in." The emperor's faint voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Tingyu, respectfully wishes His Majesty's greetings." Zhang Tingyu greeted the Emperor according to the etiquette.
