Chapter Fifty-Eight: Opening the Altar and Asking for Rain

Lu Qi came out of the Hall of Light, went straight to the Jiaofang Palace, and ran around, her body was slimy, and she was all sweating.

Not to mention Lu Qi, Rong Xi, who has been staying in the Jiaofang Palace, feels panicked.

"How?"

Seeing Lu Qi coming back, Rong Xi propped himself up.

"The regent accepted it, and also agreed with what Niangniang said, reducing all the food and clothing in the palace."

After Lu Qi responded softly, Rong Xi's heart also relaxed a lot, she couldn't waste it in the palace, but outside the palace was in dire straits.

"That'll be fine."

With a slight bow, Rong Xi looked at Lu Qi, got up slowly, called a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and hurriedly relisted some of the food and clothing in the palace that he thought in his heart, and distributed it to the six palaces.

When it was first implemented, it was inevitable that too many people would be unhappy, after all, they had spent an unknown number of free lives in the palace.

It's just that Rong Xi, as the queen mother, still suppressed all the things, so that the people below had nothing to say.

After a few more days, the sun became more and more intense, and there was no intention of preparing for rain.

Outside the palace, the people asked Mu Yan to open the altar to ask for rain, claiming that he was the son of the dragon, and if he could ask for rain, God would like to see the rain.

When Lu Qi told Rong Xi about this, Rong Xi shook his head, walked out of the house, and took a look at the weather.

"It's superstitious ......"

Rong Xi whispered, since the 21st century, she naturally knows that this rain is not something that people can ask for.

There are a series of regulations in nature, and the people of this dynasty are stubbornly superstitious for the glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Lu Qi on the side heard her words and looked at her suspiciously: "Niangniang, what is superstition?" ”

Rong Xi heard her question, looked at the sky, she also learned a little astronomical knowledge, but I am afraid that it will not rain during this time.

If the altar is opened to pray for rain in such a hot weather, how can Mu Yan's small body hold on?

"What did Little Majesty say over there?"

Rong Xi was inevitably worried, and asked Mu Yan to beg for rain as a child, under the scorching sun, it was strange not to suffer from heat stroke, not to mention that he had always been in the palace and was pampered.

"The slave maid listened to Gonggong Lin say, it seems that the regent and Mrs. Han intend to open the altar, but they are just discussing, should the little majesty ask for rain, or the regent? The people all said that His Majesty begged for rain to make it. ”

After saying word by word, Lu Qi looked at Rong Xi's eyes, and her entire brow furrowed.

"How can Your Majesty hold on?"

Rong Xi said, took Lu Qi, and hurriedly walked to the imperial study.

At this moment, they must still be discussing state affairs in the imperial study.

"See the Queen Mother."

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Han Tingwen hurriedly saluted, and knew the reason for Rong Xi's appearance in his heart.

It's just that this time you can't be capricious, this is a major national matter.

"The mourning family heard that they are going to open the altar to ask for rain?"

As soon as he came in, he got straight to the point, without the slightest hesitation, Rong Xi asked, and Mu Yan nodded seriously with a small face.

He also attaches great importance to this matter and wants to get rain as soon as possible.

Mu Guichen sat on the side, looking at the anxiety on her face that couldn't be hidden since she just came in.

"Are you going to ask your little majesty to beg?"

Glancing at Mu Guichen, Rong Xi saw that he was very good to His Little Majesty these days, and he should be reluctant.

Mu Guichen looked at Han Tingwen slowly, he mentioned this matter just now, and it can be regarded as confirmed, he is the regent, if he comes out at this time, it is not appropriate, besides, he may also win the hearts of the people.

The matter of asking for rain seems ordinary, but it reveals the key points everywhere.

You must know that when the first emperor was young, he sat on the throne of the prince because he begged for rain, and because he begged for rain, he was supported by the people.

"Empress Dowager Qi, except for Your Majesty, there is no suitable candidate for this matter."

Han Tingwen slowly stepped forward and took the initiative to stand up and say that as soon as he finished speaking, Rong Xi immediately stopped him.

"No way!"

She walked up to Mu Yan and squatted down.

"Your Majesty is so small, how can your body stand it?"

I already felt that Mu Yan was young and had to take on the affairs of a country, which was already pitiful, and now he still asked for rain, but these days, it is impossible to rain, he went, and he was going to suffer from heat stroke!

Han Tingwen heard this, and frowned slightly: "Queen Mother, the minister knows that the Queen Mother feels sorry for Your Majesty, but now, what the people want, if you don't think about the common people in the world......"

"No!"

A sharp gaze shot at Han Tingwen's body, and Rong Xi looked at Mu Guichen, wanting to know what he meant.

"The regent also thinks so, does he need to let His Majesty go down to the altar to ask for rain?"

Lu Qi on the side couldn't help but hold her breath because of her boldness, and didn't dare to look at Mu Guichen.

"Is there anything better you can do?"

Mu Guichen asked softly, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't show much concern about this matter.

"Your Majesty is weak, I can't ask for it!" After a pause, Rong Xi thought about it carefully, looked at Mu Guichen, and never felt at ease and said that he would ask him for rain, after all, this is a matter of winning the hearts of the people.

She is the only one who can ask for the best person to ask for rain, and she is the only one who can replace Mu Yan.

"Since there is no way, then I have to let Mu Yan go."

Mu Guichen said, got up and prepared to leave.

She found such an opportunity, how could she let it go?

"No way!"

Hurriedly blocked in front of him, she was full of anxiety. Mu Guichen ignored her and walked out of the imperial study.

If you want to stop this, you can only ask Mu Guichen.

Rong Xi took a deep breath, caught up with Mu Guichen, and walked side by side with him.

"Your Majesty, don't ask for rain, I can!"

She said word by word, Mu Guichen's original footsteps also stopped, and he was stunned for a while, and slowly fell his eyes on her.

There is no precedent for the Queen Mother to ask for rain.

"Nonsense!"

Mu Guichen flicked her sleeves, only thinking that she was simply messing around, how could she be allowed to come to this matter?

"I'm not messing around!"

said firmly, Rong Xi is really ready to go by herself, she is better than Mu Yan.

She looked at Mu Guichen with a determined look, and Mu Guichen suddenly felt complicated in her heart.

"If you can replace Your Majesty, then everyone can replace you, where do you need it?"

At present, the people only believe in the little majesty Mu Yan or the regent Mu Guichen, because they are all chosen people and dragons.

It's a pity that Mu Guichen won't go to the altar, he doesn't want the throne, and he also wants Mu Yan to stabilize his position.

Since this is the case, then Mu Yan has to bear it by himself, when the first emperor was young, he was also hard-headed, but as soon as he begged for rain, the rain came, which was very effective.
