A few days after Mu Changfeng left the imperial city, there was a sudden drought and flood in Daba Gorge and Nei Cave Dam, and the dry people died, and the drought died, hundreds of people were displaced, and the folds of the upper play were piled up with the imperial case in the imperial study, and Emperor Jingyuan became more and more anxious, and gradually believed in the natural disaster that Mu Changfeng said, and immediately sent people to treat the disaster, and at the same time asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange the worship in a few days.

The Ministry of Rites chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, Emperor Jingyuan took the harem concubines and the prince and the princess to the national temple together, Du Yuexi was not rightly named and should not have been taken away, but she deliberately sold it back in front of Emperor Jingyuan, although her biological mother was disgraceful, but after all, the blood of the royal family still flowed in her body, and Emperor Jingyuan finally had pity and allowed her to go with her.

The people in the royal family went to the hardware mountain, Du Yueyan didn't want to go, but Du Weizhen tried every means to persuade her to take her as a distraction, so she brought people out.

On the way, Du Yuexi said that it was too boring to ride in a carriage alone, so she insisted on getting on Du Yueyan, and Du Yueyan heard that it was she who framed Mu Shengbai to have the following things, which caused him to be banned from entering the imperial city by Emperor Jingyuan.

Du Yueyan is not a thoughtful person, she has any expression on her face for whatever she thinks in her heart, and she can't put on a good face for her.

Du Yuexi was dressed plainly, and the whole person looked listless, and now she bit her lower lip to look at her, as if she was being bullied, "Sister Yan'er, don't you like me?" ”

Du Yueyan didn't bother to give her a look, she was eating snacks in the corner leisurely, treating her as air at all, and she didn't even know how to speak.

The shame of being neglected and ignored made Du Yuexi grit her teeth for a while, and a sour bubble of jealousy rose in her heart, why are they all princesses, Du Yueyan has been a thousand pets since she was born, and outsiders only know that there is only one princess in Kunguo, but they don't know that there is another princess.

Looking at the only bead hairpin she wears on her head, the carving is exquisite, and every line can be seen to be everyone's work even for laymen, dazzling to the extreme, any bead hairpin is more precious than the most valuable in her palace.

The more Du Yuexi thought about it, the more hated she became, and she wanted to rush up and draw a few strokes on her face.

But no matter how much she hated in her heart, Du Yuexi regained her weakness after raising her eyes, "Sister, but where did my sister make you unhappy, just say it, I will definitely correct it." ”

Du Yueyan felt irritable, like hundreds of flies buzzing in her ears and making her uncomfortable, she glanced at her and said coldly: "I just can't hear you, you all know that I hate you, why do you want to come here on purpose to make you unhappy." ”

Du Yuexi looked like an emperor, and was about to come over and hold her hand, "But sister, I'm your own sister, why do you hate me." ”

Du Yueyan swept away her hand, "Hate is hate, it doesn't make much sense, if you can't see that I hate you, just go out." ”

Nuan Chun and March were surprised to see that they got out of the carriage crying with a handkerchief half-covering their faces, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to check on Du Yueyan's situation, and saw her leisurely drinking tea in the corner, looking like she had no effect.

March frowned and smiled, "Princess, how did you make her angry?" She followed Du Yueyan and naturally knew a little about what Du Yuexi did, and she felt sorry for her princess, so she was a little more disgusted with her.

Du Yueyan didn't care about it, she drank tea and ate snacks slowly, "She cried angrily herself, what does it have to do with me?" ”

March smiled approvingly, nodded and said, "Of course, of course, the princess is very kind, how could she do something that makes people cry, it was the slave who said the wrong thing." ”

The royal family went to the National Temple to pray for the blessings of all beings at dawn and pray for peace and tranquility.

In front of the majestic golden Buddha statue, the fragrance was thick, so that none of the people present were immersed in this tranquility, and Emperor Jingyuan, who was anxious, also found some tranquility at this moment.

After praying for blessings, the royal family went down the mountain in a carriage again.

However, this prayer had no effect, the famine in various places was not relieved in the slightest, and the silver taels of the imperial court continued to smash in, but they didn't even hear a sound, and the voices of the dissatisfied people kept drilling into the ears of Emperor Jingyuan, making him more and more violent day by day, and even began to doubt himself.

When he went to the court, his eyes seemed to have a layer of cold ice, and the atmosphere of the court gradually solidified, and the courtiers did not dare to breathe.

At this moment, Emperor Jing Yuan's majestic voice made their backs stiffen suddenly, "There are many disasters in Kunguo, what do you Aiqing think?" ”

The ministers always felt that he had something to say, and they were cautious in their answers.

"This is a natural disaster, it can't be prevented, the emperor asked the officers and soldiers to send the disaster silver in time, and it must be dealt with soon."

"Man will win the sky, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about it."

Emperor Jing Yuan slapped his palm on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the sound shook the hall and immediately quieted down, now if an adult accidentally drops the purse on the ground, it must be heard inside and out.

Emperor Jing Yuan swept over them with his gaze, his breathing was quite short, and he paused for several moments before he said slowly: "You Aiqing don't have to worry too much, I am not the kind of person who is easy to get angry, but the continuous natural disasters during this time are really disturbing my heart, and I always feel that I have angered the heavens, and the heavens have punished me." ”

As soon as he said this, the court became quieter and quieter, and the courtiers did not dare to come out, and no one dared to answer the words first.

Emperor Jing Yuan was not in a hurry, his eyes were gloomy.

If the most qualified person in the court is none other than Du Weizhen, his body is condensed with more and more fiery eyes.

A big bead of sweat appeared on Du Weizhen's forehead, and he noticed that Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes also fell on him, and it was Du Chenliang who looked at him first.

He was secretly angry, but he had to stand up, and after a little groaning, he planned to tell the truth: "My father is not acting badly, how can he provoke the wrath of the heavens, this is just a simple natural disaster." If there is something inappropriate about my father today, I hope that my father will not be angry. ”

"I don't blame you."

Du Weizhen took a deep breath, "Erchen feels that my father has been too gullible in other people's words and has lost his own judgment recently, and occasionally he will accidentally do something wrong. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan's heart sank and sank, and his face became more and more pale, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Du Chenliang looked at his face getting worse and worse, and his heart was refreshed, hoping that his father could reprimand Du Weizhen in public, and if he could remove Du Weizhen's status as the prince, it would be even more happy.

But after Emperor Jing Yuan calmed down, he recalled carefully and found that this was indeed the case.

"The prince is reasonable, I am not a conceited person, what you say is reasonable, I must accept it with an open mind."

Du Weizhen let out a long sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart fell heavily.

However, the direction of events was far beyond Du Weizhen's expectations, and Emperor Jingyuan became conceited and arbitrary, and if there were ministers who repeatedly admonished him, he would definitely provoke him.
