On this day, the sun was shining brightly.
The sky was as blue as jade, without a trace of clouds.
The breeze felt as if it had passed through layers of volcanoes, bringing an irritating heat.
The gauze-covered windows could block the wind but not the heat.
No matter how much ice was placed in the room, it never seemed enough; it felt necessary to hide in an ice cellar.
"Why is it so hot?" Su Jin said while fanning herself.
"Qingyun Mountain is much cooler," Xingxing reminisced.
In Qingyun Mountain, there wasn't a time when you had to stay inside all day long.
In the woods, the gentle breeze was incredibly pleasant.
One could go down the mountain to play in the water, swimming back and forth; it was much more comfortable than staying in the Prince Mansion.
However, she also knew it was definitely impossible to return now.
Xingxing's eyes dimmed.
But Su Jin said, "Next summer, we'll go to Qingyun Mountain to escape the heat."
