Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, much hotter than usual. It has now been almost two months since there has been rain, and the drought is already showing signs of it.

It seems that what Ning Huaixiu said is true, and the drought is coming soon. Fortunately, the farmers' crops have already been planted, and only a rain is missing.

It's a pity that God doesn't show a hint of rain, but it doesn't matter, Nangong Yi's many preparations made in the previous two years came in handy at this time.

In the past, he intensified the construction of reservoirs, reservoirs, and deep wells in villages and towns, which could provide sufficient water for the people, in addition to drinking water, but also to irrigate farmland.

Because of Nangong Yi's attention, the water storage in each region is very high. A number of diversion lines have been dug into the main road of a well-known river in the south, and the impact of the drought on the lives of the people is not great.

At least there are no problems with draught and irrigation.

Because the drought appeared as Nangong Yi expected, his prestige among the ministers and the people increased a lot. The people all said that His Majesty could know the occurrence of the drought in advance, which was a warning from God to the true dragon and the Son of Heaven.

These rumors have calmed the hearts of the people in a great way, and the water resources built by His Majesty can ensure their daily water, and I heard that His Majesty has hoarded food in the past two years, so that even in the face of natural disasters, they are indifferent, without due worry and impetuousness.

Because everyone knows that with the blessing of the true dragon emperor, this little disaster will pass quickly. There are also some families who have set up the immortal tablets of Nangong Yi and Caiwei, and the three incense sticks in the morning and evening are enshrined, so that they can bless their families with peace and security.

You must know that today's saint is a real dragon descending to earth, and it is not wrong to ask him for his blessing under the protection of heaven.

In the past, every time a natural disaster came, if the people in power did not deal with it properly, there would be a certain amount of turmoil in the world, and even worse, the victims of the disaster would be incited to rebel, but this time, it did not even stir up a wave.

Today's imperial court has become the backbone of the people, and it's too late for everyone to support it, so how can they have other ideas?

In the past two years, although the emperor has overhauled water conservancy and hoarded grain and grass, he has not increased the servitude of the people.

It is said that the money for building water conservancy and buying grain and grass is all obtained by the emperor and queen mother to sell the treasures saved in the imperial palace in various countries and places, and the people have not spent a penny, and now the people have benefited in vain, and their gratitude to the emperor and queen in their hearts is simply indescribable.

If there is no wise decision by the emperor, many people in the disaster area will have left their hometowns and fled elsewhere, and in order to survive on the way to escape, it is very likely that they will be bewitched by others and do great rebellious things.

Now that the people of the court are wanting, those who want to take advantage of the chaos will naturally die down. After all, it is not so easy to incite the people who live and work in peace and contentment to rebel.

What kind of people who have no worries about food and clothing would be stupid enough to help others save their emperor?

I think that when Nangong Yi proposed to build water conservancy and buy grain on a large scale, many officials were opposed, feeling that Nangong Yi's mention was too unreliable, and it was really not Mingjun's work to make such a big move and waste money with just a few words from a warlock. Even Li Guogong was skeptical of his decision.

Fortunately, Nangong Yi did not listen to them, he tried his best to resist public opinion, insisted on his own opinion, and finally completed the implementation of the drought control work after many difficulties.

Although these courtiers were not satisfied with Nangong Yi's decision, they had no choice, they could only obey the decree of the Son of Heaven, but they inevitably muttered in their hearts.

Now, the drought has arrived, and the ministers can't help but admire what His Majesty has done in the past two years, and they begin to praise the saint for taking precautions and being far-sighted, and of course, there is a little more awe of the emperor in their hearts.

The disaster situation in various places was constantly reported to the palace, and Nangong Yi checked the disaster situation while measuring the results of the drought relief work done in the disaster area in the past two years.

In the end, the conclusion is optimistic that those places can cope with these droughts.

Although the disaster was severe and affected most of the Great Jin Kingdom, because of Nangong Yi's full preparations, the consequences of these droughts could be easily solved in various places.

Shouxian Palace

Cai Wei sat cross-legged on the kang, there were two huge ice basins on the ground, and the four young palace maids held fans and fanned gently, and the cool breeze hit them, and they were very timid. Because the preliminary work of drought control was done well, this time, the drought did not affect the lives of the people at all, nor did it affect the good mood of the queen.

She picked up the sour plum soup, motioned to Mo Shuya, who was sitting on a rattan chair not far from her, and said with a smile: "Try it, this is the freshly boiled sour plum soup, which is filled with rock sugar, sour plum and ice cubes. ”

Mo Shuya took a sip of the sour plum soup, put down the cup, and said, "What Niangniang said is that this sour plum soup is really better than mung bean soup." ”

Now, Mo Shuya is already a seventeen-year-old girl, she is dressed in a decent court dress, her face is slightly haggard, she sits decently, and she talks to Cai Wei respectfully, which is very different from the image of talking and laughing and humorous in the past.

When Cai Wei saw her like this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You leather monkey, you must have been trained by your grandmother before entering the palace, so you put on such a decent appearance, it's really funny." ”

Mo Shuya smiled very unnaturally, with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and said: "Grandmother taught Shu Ya a few words, but Shu Ya is also older, and she is not as naughty and ignorant as she was when she was a child. ”

Actually, Cai Wei liked her cute and lively appearance when she was a child, and she really didn't like this kind of well-behaved lady's appearance. Especially when she saw Shu Ya's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, in the past, she would have already said what was in her heart, how could she be as hesitant as she is now, and dare not speak?

"You entered the palace this time, but is there anything to find the palace?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Cai Wei couldn't help but make her words clear.

Shu Ya bit her lip, stiffened for a moment, and said, "No, no, it's just that I haven't seen Niangniang for a long time, and I'm here to ask Niangniang for peace." ”

Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Cai Wei did not continue to ask, and asked her about the old lady's body and some things about Fei'er.

Fei'er has been pregnant again since she gave birth to her last child, and she has been pregnant for a few months, and now it has been more than two months.

Everyone said that her baby must be a man, but Fei'er herself was not too sure, because a few days before she knew that she was pregnant, she kept dreaming of coming to the garden.

Didn't you say that you dreamed that a flower gave birth to a girl? Compared with the sour girl, she believes in the theory of dreams more.

"My aunt is very good, she can eat and drink, my uncle is with her for the rest of the time except for the last court, and he almost didn't carry her to the board......"

What Mo Shuya said is not an exaggeration at all, Mo Ziqi's good things to Fei'er are known to the entire Dajin people, and they are also free to fall in love and combine freely, so the relationship is much closer than that between those matchmakers.

I heard that Fei'er has always been personally taken care of by Mo Ziqi during the confinement period, pouring tea and water, and washing her body, all of which he did personally, and never faked it to others.

Because Mo Ziqi heard that women are most likely to get sick during confinement, and they have to take care of their illness for a lifetime, so, for the sake of safety, Mo Ziqi did everything in Fei'er himself, and made Fei'er serve Bai Bai Chubby, which was ten pounds fatter than before.

Fortunately, Fei'er grew taller, otherwise, she would be about to become a little fat woman.

"Aunt Fei'er is so blessed to marry such a good man as my uncle." Speaking of Mo Ziqi's kindness to Fei'er, Mo Shuya couldn't help but sigh.

Cai Wei smiled: "What do you envy people? If you also want to marry a man who is so good to you, with your status as the daughter of the Duke of Liguo, it should not be difficult at all, as long as you nod, this palace guarantees that at this time tomorrow, there will already be a large number of candidates! ”

Shu Ya smiled and said, "Niangniang, don't make fun of me, fate is something that can be met but not sought, I don't want to find a man who is good to me because of the power of the Liguo Mansion." ”

Cai Wei said: "Also, as you said, fate is unattainable, if you meet it, you are lucky, if you can't meet it, it means that you don't have that blessing in your life, but you don't have to waste time and delay your youth." This palace thinks that even if you don't meet someone who is destined, but the family helps each other, there are good characters and good looks, so you will get married, you are seventeen years old this year, and you are going to become an old girl for two years......"

These words were entrusted by the old lady Cai Wei to Shu Ya, because Shu Ya always refused to find her mother-in-law, as soon as she proposed marriage to her, she would be in a hurry with whom, the old lady and the Wu family had nothing to do with her, so they had to ask Cai Wei for help and let Cai Wei help persuade her.

Cai Wei is the queen, no matter how wild she is, she doesn't dare to be anxious with the queen, so she asked Cai Wei to help persuade her. Now that Cai Wei has said it, Shu Ya really didn't dare to be anxious with Cai Wei, but when she heard Cai Wei mention that she was asked to find her mother-in-law's family, she was still a little repulsed.

She stood up and said, "Niangniang, I've been in for a while, it's time to go back, do you have anything to say to Aunt Fei'er?" ”

Seeing that she avoided the topic of finding her mother-in-law like this, Cai Wei was helpless, this girl must have a sweetheart, otherwise she wouldn't be so reluctant to find her mother-in-law's family, but, who is her sweetheart?

The old lady and the Wu family had asked her quietly, but this girl's tone was very tight, she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, and she insisted that there was no sweetheart at all.

Cai Wei thought about it and said, "I don't have anything to say, I am very relieved to know that Ziqi takes good care of her." ”

Mo Shuya blessed Cai Wei, slowly retreated, and when she was about to walk to the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, as if she had made a lot of determination, looked at Cai Wei fixedly, and said, "Niangniang, do you know the whereabouts of Liu Xi and Liu's father-in-law?" ”

Cai Wei was taken aback, and looked at Mo Shuya in amazement, she never expected that she would ask Liu Xi, could it be that the person in her heart was Liu Xi? However, no, she didn't know that Liu Xi had recovered as a man, so how could she have that kind of affection for Liu Xi?

She also looked at Mo Shuya and said calmly: "He is tired of the capital and has gone to live in a place where no one knows him, if you really want to contact him, this palace can help you ask him to see if he is willing to contact you?" ”

Mo Shuya's face flushed, there was a little more girlish crampedness and shyness in her eyes, she lowered her head timidly, and whispered: "Well, thank you Queen Mother." ”

Seeing this, Cai Wei had completely understood, she was shocked, it turned out that the person in Shu Ya's heart turned out to be Liu Xi!

Liu Xi is a lowly eunuch and a slave, and Mo Shuya is the daughter of the Liguo Mansion, the noble daughter of the princess in the Great Jin Kingdom, the identities of the two are far apart, and it is impossible to want to combine, no wonder Shu Ya refuses to say it clearly with the old lady and the Wu family.

However, now it is different, Liu Xi is no longer a eunuch, but a real man, if Shu Ya is really willing to marry him and Liu Xi happens to be willing to marry her, she is willing to fulfill them.

In her heart, Liu Xi is an excellent man worthy of any daughter of the Great Jin Kingdom!

After sending Shu Ya away, Cai Wei hurriedly released Brother Parrot and asked it to check Liu Xi's whereabouts. Since Liu Xi left, Cai Wei has been busy helping Nangong Yi fight the disaster, and she has never paid attention to where this old friend is staying and what he is doing now.

After Brother Parrot received the order, he flapped his wings and flew out, and Cai Wei took out the account book of the harem this month and calculated it page by page.

Nangong Yi's harem is only Cai Wei, and there are three buns, in addition to more than a dozen concubines and concubines left by the emperor, and the expenses are all fixed. Therefore, the account is very easy to calculate, and Cai Wei has been calculating for five or six years, and now it is easy to calculate.

A month's account, Cai Wei only took less than half an hour to calculate it clearly!

"Master, master, guess what I saw?" In his ears, the parrot screamed in a fuss, and his voice was very harsh.

Cai Wei closed the account book and said, "What's the matter, surprised?" ”

Brother Parrot said excitedly: "Master, Liu Xi is actually with Chrysanthemum, they have become husband and wife, and they even have children!" ”

"What? What do you say? ”

This news surprised Cai Wei too much, Liu Xi and Chrysanthemum ...... How did they end up together? When she was in the capital before, she didn't see any ambiguous feelings between the two of them, and if she remembered correctly, Chrysanthemum had always hated Liu Xi, how could she marry Liu Xi?

"Brother Parrot, go and help me find out, what's going on?"

Cai Wei's gossip heart was provoked, and she instructed Brother Parrot to track down the matter between Liu Xi and Chrysanthemum.

……

In fact, after learning that Liu Xi was a man, Chrysanthemum's first thought was that this guy was a ten-pound father.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so good to ten catties, the good ones are outrageous, he can't see them for a day, he doesn't want to let go when he picks up ten catties, and sometimes he doesn't care about ten catties when he pulls them on his body, and he laughs.

Ten catties also like Liu Xi very much, probably because of the nature of family affection, every time Liu Xi and Shen Luming want to hug ten catties together, that kid always flutters his little fat hand and runs into Liu Xi's arms, making Liu Xi's mouth so beautiful that he can't close it......

However, even if he is a ten-pound father, Chrysanthemum will not accept him, she can't accept a despicable villain who takes advantage of her coma and abuses her, she would rather her child grow up in a single-parent family than such a despicable man to become husband and wife.

After accepting the fact that Liu Xi was a man, Shen Luming and his wife were eager to try and wanted to recruit Liu Xi as their son-in-law, but they were resolutely and decisively rejected by Chrysanthemum.

With Li Sheng's experience, they didn't dare to force their daughter to accept any man, seeing that Chrysanthemum insisted on refusing to accept Liu Xi, although the old couple felt pity, they had to dispel the idea of recruiting Liu Xi as their son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, less than half a month after seeing Liu Xi's true identity, Liu Xi actually came to the door to propose marriage in person.

Shen Luming and his wife were pleasantly surprised, they already liked Liu Xi, and now Liu Xi can take the initiative to come to the door to propose, it is like a big pie falling from the sky for them. Although in the eyes of parents, their children are always the best, but their daughter is married after all, and she also brought a child with an oil bottle, and generally rich men will not accept such a woman, but Liu Xi is full of sincerity, not only personally came to the door to propose, but also took the initiative to ask for a marriage.

This sincerity made Shen Luming and his wife ecstatic and flattered, and they were busy doing their daughter's ideological work.

Chrysanthemum sneered and said: "I want to meet him in person and find out why he wants to marry me a woman with children, with his financial resources, even the daughter of the county order is more than enough." ”

The couple felt that their daughter's words were reasonable, so they arranged for them to meet alone.

When they met, Chrysanthemum said straightforwardly: "Why do you want to marry me?" With your financial resources, it is more than enough to marry any young lady in the Great Jin Kingdom, so why bother to marry a woman like me who has given birth? ”

Liu Xi was more direct than her, saying: "Because I am the father of ten catties, I have to be responsible for what I have done." ”

"Wow, so the bastard who assaulted me that day was really you? The old lady fought with you! Chrysanthemum's conjecture was confirmed, she stood up angrily, grabbed Liu Xi and beat her.

Liu Xi didn't fight back, and stood there letting Chrysanthemum punch and kick to vent his feelings.

Tired, Chrysanthemum bent over her knees and gasped, scolding: "You get out, I don't want to see you, let alone think I can marry you, get out, get out immediately-"

Liu Xi didn't move, and said in a deep voice: "You have finished fighting, you should let me say a few words, that is, the death row prisoner appointed by the imperial court, and he is allowed to give a chance to appeal." ”

Chrysanthemum gritted her teeth and said, "You've done everything, what else is there to say?" With the dirty things you have done, I will never forgive you in my life, and you don't want my son to recognize you! ”

She knew that the child was Liu Xi's weakness, and deliberately stimulated him with the child, and sure enough, when Liu Xi heard her talk about not letting her son recognize him, her face suddenly showed pain, and she said bitterly: "Chrysanthemum, this matter is not what you imagined, I am also a victim......"

Saying that, Jing Shizi and Huo Qi teamed up to design his thing, and told Chrysanthemum. And said: "I'm also sorry for such a thing, but the effect of the medicine at that time was too violent, and it was not something that people could control at all, and now that it has happened, I am willing to take responsibility with all my might, and I will treat your mother and son well, and give you a stable and happy life, I hope you can give me the opportunity to compensate you......"
