In May and June, cicadas are chirping, lotus fragrance is overflowing, melons are floating and plums are sinking.
Shen Qingqing discovered a weirdo.
She was just coveting the good growth of the lotus pond outside the Royal Villa, but she accidentally "catched" the down-and-out prince who was as cold as jade inside.
Since then, her small business has completely changed.
The prince complained that her lotus pods were not sweet enough today, complained that her lotus flowers were not fragrant tomorrow, and asked her to develop some unheard of lotus fragrance the day after tomorrow.
Although the reward is high, the requirements are really weird.
Shen Qingqing pinched the heavy amount of money in her purse, looked at his handsome face, and gritted her teeth and endured it.
After all, he gave too much!
It wasn't until she accidentally entered his study that she learned the truth.
Her portraits are hanging all over the room.
Those picking lotuses, those punting boats, those smiling, those angry...
And his always respectful old servant was whispering: "Your Highness, it's time to return to Beijing to fight for the throne."
Small theater:
The new emperor ascends the throne.
It is said all over the world that His Majesty has a white moonlight from the south of the Yangtze River in his heart. He has searched all over the world for a wisp of lotus fragrance.
On a pilgrimage to the south, the cavalry trampled Jinling to pieces.
He, who was already a ninety-five-year-old man, blocked her deep in the lotus root under the gaze of everyone.
"Does the business from that year still count?"
Shen Qingqing raised his eyes, looked at the vast red betrothal gift behind him, and smiled sweetly.
"Just a guess. But today is different from the past. My worth is more than ten million times more than it was back then."
