Chapter 48: Thunderstorm

"The queen mother, Erchen just treats Han'er as a sister, and has no other thoughts." Jin Yantang said, frowning slightly.

The Queen Mother beckoned to Jin Yantang and motioned for him to come over and speak.

Mama Chen moved a chair and put it in front of the Queen Mother, and after Jin Yantang sat down, the Queen Mother held his hand and said: "Tang'er, you can't be a man who doesn't know how to repay your kindness, our Jin family has been loyal and brave for generations, if it wasn't for Han'er defending you many times in front of the emperor, would you be able to live until now?" ”

Jin Yantang's eyes dimmed slightly, and he lowered his head slightly to listen, but did not speak.

And the Queen Mother sighed, and said: "You also saw it today, the scar on Han'er's face, but it was left when she blocked the sword for you back then!" Also, she used to be a watery girl, but now she has been sleeping outside for a few years, what has become of the complexion on her face? Did you see that, huh? ”

Speaking of excitement, the Queen Mother couldn't help but rub her eyebrows: "The mourning family, it's hurting again!" ”

Jin Yantang's expression remained unchanged, he brought her a cup of ginseng tea, and said, "Then according to what the queen mother said, what should the sons and daughters do?" ”

The Queen Mother paused, then smiled at Jin Yantang and said, "The mourning family has an idea, but you have to ask Han'er first......

As she spoke, the Queen Mother approached Jin Yantang's ear and told him about her plans.

As the night passed, the evening breeze began to blow, and the next day it began to rain heavily in the palace.

The rain came violently, and the flowers and trees in the palace were washed by the rain, which made them even more delicate and moving, and the emerald green color on the leaves seemed to be dripping out.

At the time, Xianya Palace.

"Niangniang, it's time to get up, we have to go and say hello to the two of Kunning Palace and Cining Palace!"

While still asleep, Shang Kelan was woken up by Gardenia.

She reluctantly got up from the bed, looking at the closed window, Shang Kelan couldn't help asking, "Why don't you open the window?" ”

Gardenia brought her hot water to wipe her face, and at the same time sent her a message: "Niangniang, it's raining outside, and there was thunder in the middle of the night yesterday, and it has been raining until now, and the rain is only a little lighter." ”

The sound of the rain outside is "crackling", and it is not small to hear.

Shang Kelan couldn't help but get up and came to the window, pushed open the window and said, "It's raining?" ”

"Boom!"

As soon as the window was opened, a lightning bolt streaked across the gloomy sky.

"Yikes!"

Shang Kelan exclaimed, and quickly closed the window, in modern times, she was afraid of thunder, and now that she is here, Shang Kelan is still like this.

Gardenia hurriedly walked over and said anxiously: "Niangniang, the slave said to close the window and not let you see, you have to open it!" ”

As she spoke, Gardenia took her clothes and put them on her, and put a pale pink cloak on her.

Shang Kelan smiled bitterly and said, "Gardenia, can I not go to the queen and the queen mother to say goodbye?" ”

Gardenia shook her head and said, "No, Niangniang, this is the rule of the palace, we can't break the rules." ”

At this time, Shang Kelan couldn't help but sigh: If only Jin Yantang was here, tell him, and there would be no need to brave the thunderstorm to greet him.

Suddenly, Wen Chun opened the curtain and came in and said: "Niangniang, just now the Niangniang of Kunning Palace and Cining Palace each sent someone to come, saying that it was a stormy day, so the gift of the birthday invitation of all the mothers was exempted, if it is still this scene tomorrow, there is no need to go to the ceremony of the birthday invitation." ”

Suddenly, Shang Kelan was amnesty, lay back on the bed and said happily: "The queen mother is wise, the queen mother is wise!" ”

As she spoke, Shang Kelan hugged the pillow and closed her eyes comfortably.

When Gardenia saw her like this, lazily like a sleeping kitten, she smiled secretly and said, "Then you lie down for a while, and the slave will prepare a meal for you." ”

With that, Gardenia turned around and went out, and Wen Chun followed behind her.

But as soon as they left, Shang Kelan sat up from the bed.

In the candlelight, her expression was obscure, and she got up and went to the window, and Shang Kelan pushed it open again.

It is about five o'clock in the morning today, and the sky is overcast, with the occasional lightning streak.

Between the lightning and flint, outside the window, she could see the scene in the courtyard of Xianya Palace clearly.

The rain was piled up on the brick surface, and the yard was full of blowing branches, and several palace maids wore robes and hats, and swept the fallen leaves on the ground with brooms to keep the ground clean.

The water in the palace is still like this, judging from the celestial phenomena, there are many places outside the palace that have been waterlogged, right?

The wind outside the window whistled into the room, with a chilling feeling.

Shang Kelan couldn't help but sigh and said, "What the book says is really accurate, this world is really 'prosperous, and the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer'. ”

Summer disasters occurred frequently in the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially this summer.

At the beginning of summer, she noticed that the weather was unusually hot and muggy, and she always felt that something big had happened this summer.

Recently, I heard that Jin Yantang has been entering the harem for fewer and fewer days, I don't know if he has encountered any problems that are difficult to solve in the court?

Thinking about it, Shang Kelan couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook her head and scolded: "You, you, when has this been, still thinking about him, that person is the emperor of a country, he has his own hills and ravines in his chest, everything can be solved in his hands, why am I worried about so much?" ”

After talking to herself, Shang Kelan closed the window, lifted the curtain and said to the late winter guarding the door: "Late winter, go and tell the palace maids in the courtyard to wait for the rain to stop before sweeping, so as not to get sick." ”

When Late Winter heard this, his face was relieved, and he said, "The slave obeys the order!" ”

With that, she went out to inform the palace maids.

Seeing the expression of late winter, Shang Kelan couldn't help but smile: This late winter is also worried about those palace maids, right?

At the same time, inside the Golden Luan Palace.

The civil and military officials were each dressed in court clothes, and knelt down to Jin Yantang in two columns and saluted: "Weichen see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

"Wow!"

Jin Yantang threw down a fold and said with a sneer: "Lord Chen, come out and explain to me, what is going on in your household department?" Where did you get all the money from my treasury? Why are the people in the south and Shu complaining? Also revolted under the banner of overthrowing the newspaper! ”

The world has just stabilized, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has slightly improved the peace and security of the country under the governance of Jin Yantang, but many disasters have occurred this summer, especially the drought and waterlogging in Shu and the south are the most serious!

The fold was thrown in front of the Hubu Shangshu, and the Hubu Shangshu immediately weakened his legs and feet, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly and bowed down and said, "Weichen...... Wechen truthfully distributed the silver, but I really don't know why the disaster silver was not delivered to the victims......"

"You don't know?"

Jin Yantang looked at her condescendingly, slowly spit out four words in his mouth, and the cold meaning in his eyes became a little heavier.

In the Jinluan Palace, the ministers were silent, and no one dared to speak.

At this time, a minister dressed in a scarlet robe embroidered with a crane and a white jade crown stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that today's disaster relief should be used to calm the people's anger and appease the people's hearts, especially the responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Merger, and the people are the foundation of governing the country, and talents should be reused. ”

"The Ministry of Industry should also strengthen construction, the reason why the waterlogging in the south is so serious is because the construction of the Ministry of Industry in the previous dynasty was not complete!"
