In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and the palace will gradually add more festive colors.

Qi'er taught Xing Yun to cut window flowers, some of which were pasted on the rhombic windows for auspiciousness, and some of which were hung on the green plums in the courtyard to pray for blessings.

Shen Ciwei had already sat on the warm seat and watched them work all afternoon.

Early this morning, Li Mobai set off to the paddock to conduct a winter hunt with the princes and nobles.

Originally, I wanted to take her with me, but she thought that the temperature in the mountains and forests was lower, and it wouldn't be fragrant to eat snacks on the stove in such weather? So I didn't go with him.

The concubines above the concubine all followed the queen mother to the Baohua Hall to pray for blessings, and she could be at ease.

Later, when Pei'er went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the year's bounty and came back, she mentioned something to her.

"Little master, the slaves and maids listen to the minions of the Internal Affairs Office, and the Queen Mother seems to have begun to give the emperor a spring draft."

Draft.

Historically, in the fifth year of the Qi Dynasty, Li Mobai seems to have indeed expanded the harem once.

However, the women who were selected were all of the same fate as his previous concubines, they were not favored for life, and they were forced to be buried alive in the emperor's mausoleum after death, which was also pitiful.

"The queen mother wants to add new people to the harem, and the queen and the concubine Xi are even more busy."

Pei'er smiled: "Whatever, anyway, the emperor will spoil our little master~ It's easy to see the sun today, and the weather is gradually warming, when passing by the Royal Lake, I saw that most of the ice on the lake surface has disappeared, and the carp that originally sank to the bottom have swam to the water, maybe it's suffocated, and everyone is struggling to jump to the lake~ I heard Luo's father-in-law say that the carp jumping over the dragon gate is an excellent omen, or the slave maid will accompany the little master to take a look? ”

The left and right are also idle, and it is not impossible to go to the Imperial Garden to pass the time.

When the master and servant came to the royal lake together, there were already many palace people around the lake to watch the excitement.

Shen Ciwu looked at the lake closely, and saw that the fish in the pond really jumped up from the water, and slapped down the water again, picking up layers of splashes, which was very strange.

Unlike others who thought it was a good omen and watched the excitement with a smile, Shen Ci felt a little uneasy in his heart.

She listened to the onlookers chatting:

"These two days have been a rarity, and I saw a lot of rats coming out from under the walls of the four depots a few days ago."

"Nonsense! Rats are afraid of the cold, and they hide in their burrows in the ground in winter, how can a good person run out? ”

"Who knows? Are you hungry? And it's not just one or two, it's in groups, not to mention a dozen. The big ones go to the front, and the small ones go to the back, one with a tail, like a human spirit~"

"The well next to Chongyang Gate was already out of water in autumn, I passed by that day and heard the sound and took a look, but I saw that there was a clear spring bubbling up~"

The more he listened to them, the more panicked Shen felt worried.

She asked Peer, "I've had a messy life, what day is it?" ”

"December 21 is not a special day either."

December 21, how is this day somewhat familiar?

Her mind raced, remembering what had happened that day.

[December 21, the fourth year of the Qi Dynasty...... Is it an earthquake in Gangdo!? According to the annals, the magnitude of this earthquake is about five or so. The damage caused to Jiangdu was not heavy, and in the imperial city, only the Baohua Palace, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was collapsed...... Wait a minute! Baohuaden!? 】

[The queen mother and the concubines above the concubine are now praying in the Baohua Palace, if that place collapses, where can they live? ] 】

[But obviously the historical materials do not record the casualties of the master in the imperial city, why is this ......]

[The reason why the Queen Mother took the concubine to pray for blessings today is that the passing year is unfavorable, Li Mobai has smallpox, and she almost died of palpitations, so she rushed to the end of the year to worship and go to the bad luck......]

[The reason why Li Mobai got smallpox was because of me, and the reason why the Queen Mother almost died because of heart palpitations was also because of me. So they shouldn't have appeared in the Baohua Palace, but they will appear in the Baohua Hall today!? 】

Since the time traveler came to Qi Dynasty, in line with respect for history, Shen Ciwei has never taken the initiative to intervene in the occurrence of history.

But there are also many passive interventions by mistake.

If the earthquake came as scheduled, and the Baohua Hall collapsed into ruins, wouldn't the harem of the Qi Dynasty be wiped out?

Thinking of this, she couldn't calm down anymore, her expression became nervous and asked Pei'er, "What time is it?" ”

"About three o'clock in the afternoon, are you not feeling well, little lord? Why is your face so pale? ”

Three minutes of noon is converted into a modern time of about 12:45, and the time of the earthquake is 1:05, that is to say, there are less than 20 minutes left for Shen Ciwu to save people.

She didn't even give Pei'er an explanation, lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped on the bottom of the flower pot, and rushed towards the Baohua Palace.

Along the way, she didn't know that she fell less, her clothes were torn, and her palms were scratched, all of which did not hinder her progress.

Even in the end, she took off all the flowerpot-bottomed shoes that were in the way, and ran down the long street full of water stains with just melted winter snow in her cloth socks.

When she came to the Baohua Hall in rough clothes, she saw the concubine kneeling on the ground in the hall.

The Queen Mother is the leader and is leading them to pray sincerely.

Shen Ci didn't even catch his breath and broke in.

Her movement interrupted the concubine's prayers, and everyone looked back at her in unison.

Concubine Hui reprimanded: "Shen Guiren! What are you making a fuss about? ”

The Queen Mother's eyebrows were also a little uncertain, "The mourning family is praying for blessings, how can you trespass into the Baohua Palace?" ”

At this juncture, Shen Ciwu didn't have time to talk to them.

If she told them that there was an imminent earthquake and that the Baohua Hall was about to collapse, they would not have believed her.

If you say something sarcastic to each other, I'm afraid that before they finish complaining, they will be buried under the rubble.

Between the lightning and flint, Shen Ci was worried, and he gasped and pointed to the door: "The Queen Mother!" Miracles! The concubine saw the Bodhisattva manifestation on the long street outside, and a Bodhisattva statue floated in the air with a lotus seat, which was full of brilliance and admiration. I think it must be the Queen Mother and all the mothers who sincerely pray and move the heavens, and the Bodhisattva will manifest! ”

The palace knows that the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and Shen Ci is worried about such a thing, and she has a nose and an eye, and of course the Queen Mother believes it.

She smiled, and with Qingzhu's support, she hurriedly got up and rushed out of the hall, "Where is it?" Fast! Take the mourning family to take a look! ”

As soon as she left, the rest of the concubines naturally got up one after another, ready to go out with them to see the excitement.

After receiving a group of people who were worried about Shen Ci, they went to the long street, looked up at the sky, and saw nothing except a few soft clouds and a dazzling sun.

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Ci worriedly, and asked in a solemn voice, "Where is the miracle?" Where is the Bodhisattva? Why can't the mourning family see it? ”
