The dragon boat went south according to the plan and came to Mishui on the afternoon of August 13.

On the day I first arrived, the rain stopped a little, and I could go out without an umbrella.

The governor of Mianshui had already received the news that the emperor was coming, and took the governors of Mianshui to meet him at the dock.

In the end, the state and the county are different, Tang Ningnan leaned on the black pressure of the wharf, and this posture was much bigger than Huishuo.

But Tang Ningnan still has a better impression of Hui Shuo in her heart, after all, she was preconceived, the weather was very good when they got there, and the local people left a good impression on her, and the most important thing is that there are good memories of herself and Feng Feihan.

Although it didn't rain, I could still see the wet stone slabs and the water in the sunken ground, reflecting the willow trees on the riverbank.

Those officials were wearing court clothes, and they all knelt on the ground one by one, Tang Ningnan couldn't help but sigh, the etiquette of the ancients was good, but many times it seemed very pedantic. On a rainy day, you have to kneel on the ground, saying that it is etiquette, but the mud on your body after standing up is not a kind of disrespect to the emperor.

Knowing that it was inconvenient to walk in the rain, Tang Ningnan deliberately changed into a short shirt that did not mop the floor, and the whole person looked very capable, but in this way, it was not the dress of the concubine.

was about to get off the boat, but Feng Feihan in front of him became angry, and the queen was on the side to comfort his chest.

As soon as he stepped forward, Tang Ningnan knew what Feng Feihan was angry about.

When Feng Feihan was about to get off the boat, four small servants came, unfolded a wide and thick cloth from under the boat, and spread it under Feng Feihan's feet, which meant that Feng Feihan and the ladies would not be afraid of wetting their clothes and soles if they stepped on it.

Feng Feihan was naturally angry, he had always been frugal in the palace, and he didn't like extravagance, how could he get to the place, but he was extravagant and wasteful, and spread the new cloth on the ground for him to walk.

Huang Qi, the governor of Mishui Prefecture, who was in charge of the drive, bore the brunt of the scolding, and finally Feng Fei Han ordered someone to put away the fabric, clean it, and make clothes for the people in need in the city.

After August, autumn is in a blink of an eye, and some poor people can't even afford to wear clothes, how can Feng Fei Han He De step on this new cloth with peace of mind?

was reprimanded by Feng Feihan, Huang Qi immediately accepted the fabric, and said with a smile that he had booked a banquet in the best restaurant in Mianshui, and invited the emperor's ladies and adults to go to eat together.

But Feng Feihan has been worried about the rain in the past few days, and he planned to go directly to the river embankment to inspect, so he directly rejected Huang Qi's proposal.

As soon as he walked a few steps, Cry Lu came forward to report and said something in Feng Feihan's ear.

"Let her be, as long as she doesn't make trouble for me, I don't have time to listen to her crying right now." Feng Feihan said hurriedly towards the weeping dew.

Weelu saluted, turned around and headed for the boat. was stopped by Tang Ningnan and asked what was the matter, and after listening to the words of the crying dew, Tang Ningnan knew.

Hua Concubine looked at the water wharf, and the concubines and palace maids on the boat were almost gone, and she was the only one left, crying and making trouble in the house, shouting that she wanted to go with the emperor.

Feng Fei Han was concerned about the embankment of the Mishui River, and she was too lazy to think about the matter of Concubine Hua, so she let Cry Lu obey her wishes.

"Why did the emperor suddenly change his hexagram again, at first he didn't say that Concubine Hua would be grounded until he returned to Kyoto on a southern tour, why did he change his mind again after only three or two days." Tang Ningnan didn't say anything, but Bizhu complained on the side first.

"The emperor naturally has his plans, and it's hard for us to say anything." Tang Ningnan said softly, his eyes staring at Feng Feihan's hurried back in front of him, and he felt a little distressed.

The emperor deals with government affairs all day long, and the southern tour is really not an easy task, and now he has just arrived in Mianshui, and he has to check the river embankment without resting. Fortunately, there was no damage along the canal, and the embankment should be very strong.

Feng Feihan has already gone away, when he doesn't care about Tang Ningnan in his eyes, he is always worrying about state affairs, even though Tang Ningnan is a little lonely in his heart, he can still understand it very well.

In his position, Feng Feihan is not an ordinary person, he is the monarch of the world, he should think about the common people in the world, if he only lingers in the gentle township, Tang Ningnan feels that maybe he doesn't like him as much as he does now.

Thinking of this, Tang Ningnan showed a relieved smile and quickened his pace to follow.

The road was slippery on a rainy day, Feng Feihan walked fast, Tang Huanrong wanted to keep up with Feng Feihan's steps, but Feng Feihan was much taller than her, she really couldn't catch up, she was in a hurry, she was injured a few days ago, and the good one was not so completely ankle, and she accidentally twisted it.

Feng Feihan considered that with so many concubines, it was really inappropriate to go to the riverbank to check on a rainy day, so he asked Huang Qi's people to settle the ladies first, and Feng Feihan himself went to check the riverbank with Huang Qifansi.

Song Jieyu, who followed behind, was originally complaining, saying that the mud on the ground would stain her newly made embroidered shoes, and the rest of the concubines were also dissatisfied, but no one dared to raise objections to Feng Feihan.

Hearing that Feng Feihan asked them to go to the restaurant to settle down for dinner first, they all showed happy expressions, waiting for the queen to leave first and follow Huang Qi's men to the restaurant.

Tang Huanrong threw an apologetic expression at Feng Feihan, and said, "The concubine is useless, and you can't accompany the emperor to inspect the riverbank." ”

She is willing to accompany Feng Feihan, and she also sees Feng Feihan's fatigue these days, but Tang Ningnan is waiting by Feng Feihan's side, and she is not easy to come forward to disturb.

But in this kind of public occasion, it is different, this is also a little careful thinking in Tang Huanrong's heart, as the middle palace, she is the one who can stand by the emperor's side, she can accompany him to inspect the river embankment and solve problems for him, this is what Tang Huanrong hopes for.

But right now, such a good opportunity was lost because of her foot injury, if it fought for one or two, maybe she could accompany the emperor to go with her, but in this case, the emperor had to be distracted to take care of her, and she didn't want the emperor to be troubled by the extra thoughts.

"It's okay, you go and heal your injuries first, and you don't have to worry about these things." Feng Feihan left a sentence and turned to leave, followed by Sima Zhaohua, Li Lanshi and several local officials from Mishui.

Tang Ningnan also caught up, saluted Tang Huanrong, asked her about her situation slightly, and followed.

Tang Huanrong was supported by the concubine, and saw Tang Ningnan quickly chasing after her, and ran to Feng Feihan's side, Feng Feihan looked surprised, and pulled her to the side of the road, worried that she would accidentally fall into the canal.

Tang Huanrong suddenly felt that it seemed that Tang Ningnan was more suitable to stand by Feng Feihan's side, he was just a queen in vain, and there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes, and he covered it up without a trace.

"After all, she is the most suitable." Tang Huanrong said softly.

The concubine heard the loss in the words, and comforted Tang Huanrong and said: "Niangniang has done so much for the emperor, the emperor will definitely think of Niangniang's good, fortunately, Sister Guifei is not like Concubine Hua who is arrogant and spoiled, she still respects Niangniang very much." ”

Tang Huanrong nodded lightly, the only people in the palace who really respected her as the queen from the heart were Tang Ningnan and the concubine, although the others kept calling her the queen, they never really took her to heart.

It's just that these words are also words of comfort, and the concubine and herself know that no matter how well Tang Huanrong manages the emperor's harem, no matter how virtuous and virtuous Tang Huanrong is, it can't compare to the friendship between Tang Ningnan and Feng Feihan who were born and died together.

She looked at the backs of the two and forgot to be distracted, the concubines were also accompanying her, and the concubines behind were still waiting for the queen to go first, but Tang Huanrong did not leave for a long time.

Song Jieyu was a little anxious, boldly stepped forward, saluted Tang Huanrong, walked in front of her, looked at the attendants left by Huang Qi, and said, "What do you see, why don't you take us to the restaurant quickly." ”

The attendant looked at the queen, and then at Song Jieyu, thinking that this lady could cross the queen so boldly and dress so gorgeously, although she was not as noble as the queen, she must be second only to the queen and the emperor's favored concubine, so she set off to lead the way in front.

The beauties in the back, Jieyu or something, watched Song Jieyu pass, and they all gained courage, and they all crossed the queen to give a slight salute and walked to the front, only the concubine stood behind and had not yet moved.

It wasn't until the figures of Feng Feihan and Tang Ningnan were getting farther and farther away that Tang Huanrong withdrew his gaze, and walked at the back of the team with his concubine in his arms.

The emperor's meaning was probably to loosen his mouth, and agreed to let Hua Concubine come out, and when the weeping dew went to pass the word, Hua Concubine was so happy that she hurriedly asked Bai Shao to dress herself up.

Yi Concubine was waiting for Hua Concubine, worried that she would not be able to find everyone to go in that direction after she came out, so she stayed behind, fortunately Hua Concubine came out not too late, and the large army in front could still see the two concubines and queens at the end, so they also accelerated their steps to follow.

In addition to the canal passing through this state, the Mianjiang River is also a major local water system, the canal is man-made, the water level is stable all year round, and there is no need to worry about the water level in heavy rains.

But the river is different, the upstream passes through the mountains, the rainwater that falls from the mountains is all collected into the river, and it also carries a lot of sediment, if the river embankment is not stable enough, the river water is likely to break through the river embankment, and rush to the place where the residents live, and the river water that is surging with sediment and gravel is very lethal.

In the flood in the second year of Xuanyue, thousands of people died here, Feng Feihan had to be afraid, not only ordered people to rebuild the embankment, but also allocated hundreds of taels of gold from the treasury every year for the maintenance of the embankment, just worried that the tragedy three years ago would be repeated.

Although Huang Qi always likes to be courteous in front of Feng Feihan, he is not ambiguous at all about building the river embankment, three years ago he was not a governor of the state, but only a governor, because of the flood, his wife and children died in the water, and in the end he couldn't even find the body.
