As soon as Min Shu stepped into Shufei's Chengqian Palace, he was stopped by a haughty palace maid.

"Master Yuanfang, you came at an inopportune time. The Concubine Shu just took a nap. I'll have to trouble you to wait for a while."

Min Shu looked up at the sun that was just overhead and asked, "Is Concubine Shu eating so early?"

The palace maid smiled with a fake smile: "How can we servants have any say in the eating habits of the Majesty?"

Min Shu raised his eyes and glanced at the tightly closed palace door: "Then what aunt means is..."

"Your Majesty is a light sleeper and will be easily awakened by the slightest disturbance, so please stand here and do not move, so as not to disturb your rest."

Noon in autumn is the sunniest time of the day.

After just a few words, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the palace maid in front of him, and the back of the palace maid and eunuch who had just led Min Shu in was already soaked with sweat.

But looking at Min Shu, he was wearing a Taoist robe that was convenient for movement, with the cuffs tightened, but he still looked cool and refreshing, as if the heat could not bother him at all.

If it were Min Shu's own divine body, it would naturally be immune to cold and heat, but her current body could not reach that level.

The reason why she was not sweating at all at this moment was that she had anticipated the current situation before she came and took summer heat-relief pills in advance.

But Min Shu knew this, but the palace maids in Chengqian Palace did not.

She only saw that after standing for such a long time, Min Shu did not sweat at all, which formed a sharp contrast with her whose sweat had already flowed down to her neck.

The maid wiped her sweat and said, "Master from afar, I will take my leave now."

Without waiting for Min Shu's answer, she retreated to the corridor and whispered a few words to a palace maid next to her.

The palace maid glanced at Min Shu, then pushed open the palace door of Concubine Shu, who would wake up at the slightest movement, and went in.

As soon as you enter the temple, the ice basins and flowers everywhere will pull you from summer into the most comfortable spring.

The head maid walked over to Concubine Shu, who was lying on the beauty couch and fanning herself, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Su Qingshu is here."

Concubine Shu closed her eyes and said, "Watch the time and let her stand for an hour before coming in."

The senior palace maid nodded and stood quietly aside.

Time passed little by little. The head palace maid glanced at Concubine Shu who had fallen asleep and quietly opened the palace door.

The maid at the door came over immediately and asked, "Aunt, is there anything I can do for you?"

The head maid raised her chin and asked, "What about Su Qingshu?"

The maid said, "It's strange. I'm sweating all over just standing here, but she's standing under the scorching sun and nothing's wrong with her."

The senior palace maid's expression darkened slightly when she heard this.

The palace maid observed his expression and asked, "Do you want to make this distant immortal master embarrassed?"

The head maid shook her head and sighed, "I have heard of this distant immortal master. She has only been worshipped in the Imperial Master's Mansion for a few days, but she has already refined a miraculous elixir that can heal wounds instantly. She must be a person with real ability. I am worried that the queen will... make an enemy with her today."

The little palace maid curled her lips and said, "Your Highness is the most beloved concubine of the Emperor, and the Fifth Prince is also the most beloved prince of the Emperor. No matter how powerful the Immortal Master from afar is, as long as she has not gone to the Immortal Mountain, she still has to abide by the rules of our Meng Dynasty. Even if Your Highness has offended her, and she will be of use to you in the future, will she dare to say no?"

The senior maid sighed upon hearing this: "That's right, I just hope my worries are unnecessary."

People in the public regard the Imperial Master and his disciples as incarnations of gods.

But after staying in the palace for a long time, even a young palace maid who has just entered the palace for a short time will know that the status of the imperial teacher is indeed very high, but the emperor's courtesy is just a way of honoring the wise and humble.

If the imperial preceptor could override the emperor, why would it be necessary to build an imperial preceptor's mansion at the foot of the imperial city to await the royal family's orders?

The disciples of the national teacher are even inferior.

We won’t mention how they acted arrogantly among the people, but once they entered the palace, they had to behave themselves.

After all, in the Great Meng Dynasty, except in certain special moments, the imperial power was supreme.

The head maid returned to the palace.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu had already woken up. She opened her eyes lazily and asked, "How is it?"

The head maid replied carefully: "Su Qingshu has been standing there for a while, but Chunchan at the door said she didn't seem bothered by the heat."

"Oh?" Concubine Shu sat up: "Why do you say that?"

Senior Palace Maid: "Su Qingshu stood for a long time, but he didn't even sweat a drop. He feels very refreshed."

The corner of Concubine Shu's mouth twitched: "I didn't expect that she is actually quite capable."

The head maid hesitated for a moment and said, "My lady, Su Qingshu is extremely talented and is likely to inherit the position of the Imperial Master. In my opinion, there is no need for us to be so fussy about her. She—"

Snapped.

There was a crisp sound.

All the palace maids who were standing quietly in the corners knelt down.

The senior maid also knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Concubine Shu said coldly: "Su Qingshu doesn't know what his identity is, and you don't know either? Do I need you to teach me?"

The senior palace maid kowtowed and apologized immediately.

Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "It just so happens that I want to eat barbecue from the border area. Su Qingshu is not afraid of the heat, so let her do the grilling."

No one in the palace dared to refute.

Soon, Min Shu saw several eunuchs coming over with a stove and charcoal.

Not only did they move in, but they also started a fire next to her and fanned the fire. Soon, an unpleasant smell of smoke wafted out, and several young palace maids and eunuchs who usually never entered the kitchen were choked and coughed.

After the fire was lit and the bloody meat was ready, a eunuch said to Min Shu, "Master Yuanfang, the queen heard that you are not afraid of heat and you want to eat barbecue from the frontier, so please help her."

Min Shu took a look at the charcoal that was not even burned in the cold palace and the bloody meat scraps, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Madam Concubine Shu really wants to eat this barbecue?"

The eunuch's smile drooped: "Of course it is the Concubine who wants to eat. Do you think I dare to spread the Concubine's words? Immortal Master from afar, please come in."

Min Shu took the fan from the eunuch and grilled the meat leisurely under the scorching sun and the stove.

The other eunuchs and palace maids had left the place long ago, but they were all shocked as they watched from afar: "This Immortal Master from afar really doesn't sweat?"

"Is it a natural talent or has the immortal master from afar refined some elixir?"

"This pill is really effective. It would be great if I had one too."

"You wish. If the elixir really existed, it wouldn't be our turn."

The eunuchs and palace maids' whispered discussions were conveyed to the senior palace maid by the younger palace maid at the door.

There were traces of torn armor on the face of the senior palace maid. Looking at Concubine Shu who was obviously in a bad mood, she didn't know how to talk to her for a moment.

Just as she was struggling, a man rushed in from outside the door. He even ignored etiquette, knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "My queen, something bad has happened! The fifth prince, the fifth prince is in trouble!"

Concubine Shu stood up instantly: "What did you say?"

The man trembled as he told the story of what happened on Fengshan Mountain outside the city, and then said, "Originally, Guard Niu wanted to take His Highness back to the palace, but His Highness was too badly injured and couldn't move halfway through the journey. He had no choice but to be placed in the guard camp at the city gate. Guard Niu said that the only thing that can save His Highness now is the bone-renewing and muscle-regenerating pills in the hands of the immortal master in the distance!"
