Chapter 682: Asking for Rain

Let's say that at the other end of the Chengqian Palace, Ling Ruo saw the Guerjia clan coming in, and the people in the palace were busy wringing their face towels, and now the ice in the palace has decreased sharply, and the Chengqian Palace is even more resolute not to use a piece, so at this time, the palace is really a little hot, Mo Er and An'er take turns to fan for Ling Ruo, but the wind coming out of this fan is also hot.

After the Guerjia clan wiped his face, Ling Ruo asked softly, "I seemed to hear my sister talking to someone inside just now?" ”

The Guerjia clan smiled and said, "Your ears are good, isn't it the Wu clan?" A little nobleman, who actually spoke wildly, talked about concubines with higher positions than her, she really didn't know what to do. happened to be bumped into by me, so I taught her a small lesson, so that she could remember xing for a long time in the future, and don't chew the root of her tongue. ”

After listening to the Guerjia clan explain the whole thing, Ling Ruo smiled indifferently and said, "If they want to say it, let them say it, there are thousands of mouths in the palace, where can they manage it." ”

"I didn't hear it, but when I heard it, I didn't ignore it. Besides, they still have a few pieces of ice to use, but you have the same as the Heart Cultivation Palace, and they don't have a single one, so what else do they have to be dissatisfied with. Guarga said angrily as she shook her fan, the apricot-colored tassels under the handle of the fan gathering and dispersing with the movements of her hands.

"It's all said that they will go, but my sister has to be angry with those people, why bother!" Seeing that the Guerjia clan was angry, Ling Ruo's heart was moved, but he couldn't help but persuade him.

Guerjia stared at her for a long time, staring at Ling Ruo inexplicably, stroking her face and saying, "What is my sister doing watching me like this, could it be that something is dirty?" ”

Guerjia smiled and shook his head again and again: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, in short, I am very unhappy when I hear people say that you are very unhappy, it is really the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, and I feel funny when I think about it." ”

"I know that my sister is because she cares about me." Ling Ruo's heart was full of emotion, but she didn't say anything polite, with the relationship between her and the Guerjia clan, these were really unnecessary.

"Just don't think I'm troublesome." When he was in Wan'er, Shui Xiu brought up the watermelon that had been shaved well, but it was a pity that it was an ordinary porcelain bowl instead of the usual ice bowl, which felt a lot less taste when I thought about it.

Seeing that Ling Ruo really didn't need any ice at all, Guerjia said distressedly: "Why don't you divide half of the ice on my side, otherwise how can you survive this long summer!" ”

Ling Ruo smiled indifferently, took the porcelain bowl and said: "Look at what my sister said, it seems that I am pitiful, in fact, this day is still the same, but it is just harder, there is nothing to do, sister doesn't have to worry about me, let's eat watermelon quickly." ”

"But......" Before Guerjia could say, Shui Xiu had already handed her the bowl and said: "Concubine Niangniang, this watermelon was put in the well water before cutting, although it is not as cool as ice, but it is crisp and cool, I don't believe you can taste it." ”

After eating a few pieces, she said with some emotion: "Anyway, your suggestion to the emperor has indeed benefited a lot of people." ”

I never thought that Ling Ruo would sigh when she heard her words: "Compared with this matter, I have more headaches over Hongsheng's side, alas, I really don't know what to do with him, it's not good to be closed for a long time, but it's easy to make trouble if it's not closed." ”

As soon as he said this, the Guerjia clan was also silent, Hongsheng is a prince, and he is no better than those eunuchs and palace maids, and a little bit will bring endless disasters.

She thought about it for a while, and came up with an idea: "Although the queen can't take care of Hongsheng now that she is sick, she can't keep pretending, and when she is 'sick', you will immediately tell the emperor to send Hongsheng back, and throw this hot potato back to her as soon as possible, so that she can be so comfortable." ”

"That's all it can be." Ling Ruo nodded helplessly, and after a while, he only heard the Guerjia clan say: "I heard that Qin Tianjian has already prepared the time and direction for the emperor to ask for rain tomorrow?" ”

Ling Ruozhen perked up and said, "Yes, it is said that it is the most conducive to asking for rain." I hope that the emperor can ask for rain to alleviate the drought in the capital. ”

"Yes, if this god sweats again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to drink water in the palace." Guerga looked at the fiery weather and had unspeakable worries.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Yinzhen wore a bright yellow colorful gold dragon auspicious suit, wore a gold silk cotton tie red tassel crown, the front eaves hollowed out the golden Buddha, the top inlaid with fifteen eastern pearls, led the civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven located in the southeast of the Forbidden City to ask for rain, Yinzhen climbed hundreds of steps step by step against the sun that was enough to get married in the past, and the ministers followed on both sides, and the first of the hundred officials were Yunxiang and Zhang Tingyu, the two were also the ministers closest to the center of imperial power.

On the Temple of Heaven, there are already palace people full of sacrifices for rain, and there are dragon statues painted with gold and silver Zhu Dan, and water waves are painted below, and there are turtles looking left, spitting black gas like a line. Dongfang Min, who was the Qin Heavenly Supervisor at the time, waited for Yinzhen to step up to the last step and handed over the willow branch placed in the net bottle, Yinzhen put willow branch wine on the dragon, and then put his hands together in front of his chest, and sincerely prayed to the heavens, "The emperor is above, the thick earth is below, and the emperor of the lower realm loves Xinjueluo. Yinzhen sincerely prayed to God for mercy on all sentient beings, and to relieve the drought with rain, so as to prevent the people from suffering from drought. If there is disrespect in the lower realm, please also ask the heavens to blame Yinzhen alone, don't let the people suffer more. ”

After such a prayer, Yinzhen held incense and bowed three times and bowed nine times. After getting up, I kept looking at the sky with anticipation, but I had no choice but to wait until the three pillars of incense were burned, and the sun was still blazing in the sky, and there was no yin at all, let alone rain.

Sweat, drop by drop, salty sweat falls into the eyes, making it difficult to open the eyes, as for the clothes on the body are wet and dry, dry and wet, sweat comes out one after another, and the opposite is the thirst of the burning throat.

Dongfang Min wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, this rain hasn't come down so quickly for a while, or Weichen will help you go down to the Temple of Heaven to rest for a while." ”

Yinzhen shook his head and ignored his persuasion, Dongfang Min had no choice but to turn his gaze to Yunxiang and the others who came up with Yinzhen, hoping that they could help persuade him, otherwise if he kept waiting like this, he would have to suffer from heat stroke.

"Your Majesty, you can't be in a hurry to ask for rain, you better go back and rest first, in case you hurt the dragon's body or suffer from heat stroke." Zhang Tingyu stepped forward to persuade, and Yunxiang also followed him to persuade him.

"I'll wait here." Yin Zhen insisted on refusing, his voice was already dry, his face was abnormally red, and even his breathing was a little short.

"Your Majesty!" Yun Xiang called out a little eagerly, and before he could continue, Yin Zhen had already raised his hand and said, "I said that I would wait here, if you are too hot, go back first." ”
