After the sting, it is the spring equinox, and then it is the season of valley rain, but this year's valley rain did not fall a drop of rain, and there has been no rain for more than two months, the river is dry, the fields are cracked, the seedlings have been beaten, and then it rains, I am afraid that there will be no harvest.

Yu Lin was very worried, and consulted with the minister day and night, and successively promulgated a number of measures to alleviate the disaster, such as light taxation, water conservancy, and food for immigrants, and even opened an altar to pray for rain and worship ghosts and gods, however, the sky never rained, and the drought was still not alleviated.

Time passed in the scorching and drought heat, and Yu was anxious, anxious, and often angry, and the people who served in front of the palace were always sweating, and the harem from the queen concubine to the maid and palace servant were also worried and uneasy.

In Bixiu Palace, the original grass and trees were extremely luxuriant, with strange flowers and plants everywhere, and the trees were shady, but now under the scorching sun, the leaves are also beaten and lifeless. A few gardeners listlessly prune the foliage in the garden.

The jade concubine lazily leaned on the soft couch carved from ebony, holding an ice bowl and absentmindedly eating the frozen fruit inside. Listening to the rain and green marks standing on the left and right sides of the fan gently shaking for her, sweat soaked the clothes on her body, not far away, two little girls who had just left their heads shook two wind wheels, the wind wheels whirred, Rao is like this, Yu Concubine still feels that the heat is unbearable.

After eating an ice bowl, the jade concubine threw the bowl on the plum blossom table next to it and ordered, "Go get another bowl." ”

Tingyu dissuaded: "Niangniang, you have eaten five or six bowls since the morning, this thing is cold, and if you eat too much, you will have a stomachache." ”

Concubine Yu had no choice but to give up, and said with an unhappy face: "What kind of weather is this year, it is almost going to heat up people, and the queen also said that she wants to advocate what frugality, not to use ice happily, and a total of two buckets of ice a day are enough for anything." ”

Listening to the rain said: "We still have two buckets of ice here every day, and there are some little masters who don't need ice." ”

After listening to the rain's words, the jade concubine felt a little more useful in her heart, and said lazily: "The emperor discusses politics in the Chengming Palace every day for the sake of drought, and there are fewer harems, even fewer servants, and the last time the palace servant slept was more than a month ago." ”

Listening to the rain said: "The emperor is worried about Sheji, so he has no intention of being nostalgic for the harem, before the moon was favored like that, and now the emperor has not been to the Yinyue Pavilion for a long time." ”

The unhappiness in Yu Concubine's heart was reduced by half, she sat up, stretched her waist, and said, "Have you delivered any food from the imperial dining room, this palace is a little hungry." ”

Listening to the rain and green marks, a few little girls hurriedly arranged cups, plates, dishes and various dishes.

Yu Concubine sat down slowly, and saw that a bowl of sauce-roasted elbows on the table was her usual favorite food, so she asked Tingyu to move in front of her, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, and didn't wait to chew it, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea welling up her throat, and couldn't help retching.

Hearing the rain, she was startled, and in a panic, she picked up the spittoon for the jade concubine, and the jade concubine suddenly vomited so dark that her eyes were full of gold stars.

Hearing the rain, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and the concubine finally stopped vomiting, and lay on the couch weakly, losing even the strength to speak.

Listening to the rain said: "Niangniang must have eaten too much ice bowl and hurt her stomach, so the slave maid went to the hospital to find a doctor to take a look at Niangniang." With that, she trotted all the way out.

Imperial Physician Wang followed Tingyu to Bixiu Palace with the medicine box on his back, first inquired about the diet, then looked at the tongue coating, and finally took out the pulse case and began to ask for the pulse.

Imperial Physician Wang closed his eyes and examined carefully, and after a while, he opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Weichen is going to congratulate Niangniang." ”

Listening to the rain and rushing: "What are you talking about, our mother vomited a mess, why are you happy instead?" ”

Imperial Physician Wang touched his beard and smiled, and said, "The jade concubine is nauseous and vomiting because she is pregnant, and it has been more than a month. ”

Concubine Yu turned over and stood up, and said happily: "What you said is true?" Is Hongu really pregnant with a Dragonborn? ”

The imperial physician bowed and said, "How can the matter of the emperor's heir be joked? If Weichen made a mistake, Niangniang dismissed Weichen's salary. ”

Concubine Yu was overjoyed, gently stroked her stomach with both hands, and said in a loud voice: "The princess is good at the pulse, it will never be wrong, listen to the rain, and reward quickly." ”

The imperial physician thanked the reward and left, the whole Bixiu Palace was overjoyed, and the jade concubine was busy pushing and listening to the rain, and said: "Go to the Chengming Palace to report the good news to the emperor, go quickly!" ”

Listening to the rain, he trotted all the way to report the news. The jade concubine waited in the palace excitedly and anxiously, looking forward to it.

After more than an hour, it was too late to hear the rain, and the jade concubine looked behind her, saw that there was no one, and said repeatedly: "What about the emperor?" Why didn't the emperor come? Did you tell the emperor about the pregnancy in this palace? ”

Tingyu said cautiously: "Niangniang, the slave maid didn't see the emperor at all, the emperor and the ministers discussed important matters in the Chengming Palace, and no one was allowed to disturb them. ”

Yu Concubine's face was inevitably disappointed, she sat back on the couch in despair, and listened to the rain and hurriedly comforted: "Niangniang, don't be sad, the coming day is long, the emperor is too busy to come, and in a few days I will come to our Bixiu Palace to visit Niangniang, and when you give birth to the emperor safely, the emperor will definitely promote your position." ”

When the jade concubine heard this, a smile appeared on her face again.

After the news of the jade concubine's pregnancy spread, the front of Bixiu Palace became lively, and the emperor's rewards, the queen's rewards, and the congratulatory gifts of each palace came in a steady stream.

Concubine Yu was originally a high-spirited person, and after she became pregnant with a dragon fetus, she was even more proud, behaved arrogantly, and often spoke disrespectfully, which made other concubines very dissatisfied.

In the Chunhe Palace, Concubine Liang and Wei agreed to sit face-to-face in the palace and chat. Wei promised and couldn't help but say sourly: "Sister Cao, I can't get used to Concubine Yu's frivolous appearance the most, she is less than two months pregnant, so she walks with her hand on her stomach, as if to tell the whole world that she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, which is really ridiculous." ”

Concubine Liang held a jade bone fan in her hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Her identity as a dragon fetus is naturally more noble, you and I just don't have to care." If you want to talk about the dragon fetus, my sister is young and beautiful, and she will definitely be conceived and give birth to an heir. ”

Wei promised to be still indignant: "The emperor is just trying to be fresh, and now he has long left me behind." is my sister, who has been serving by the emperor's side for seven or eight years, but she has never given birth to a boy and a girl, so she let the jade concubine go first. ”

The good concubine smiled to herself, as if she didn't care much, and said: "My appearance is not outstanding, and I don't have a figure like my sister, and I am not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how can the emperor be willing to work me?" I just hope to be able to die in peace, and I will have no children in my life. ”

Wei Wei shook his head again and again, and the green water plum blossoms on his sideburns rattled: "I don't have such a peaceful heart as my sister, I have been sitting in the last agreed seat for two or three years, and the emperor occasionally remembered to summon me once, I am not willing to live like this for a lifetime, I always have to get ahead, and it is good to shine on the portal." ”

The good concubine covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I didn't expect my sister's heart to be so high." ”

Wei promised to look at the beauty, lowered his voice, and said: "Sister Cao, you are thoughtful and resourceful, and even the queen is often praised, can you think of a clever plan to help me win favor." As she spoke, she raised her right hand: "I swear to God, if my sister helps me with this, he will repay my sister generously when I am promoted." ”

Concubine Liang smiled and said, "My sister really wants to be promoted so much? The harem is not a place to wait, the higher you climb, the more dangerous it is, and how many pairs of eyes are staring. ”

Wei promised and hurriedly said firmly: "My sister is not afraid, and I ask my sister to help, rather than being trampled on by others, it is better to fight with all my life, and ask my sister to dial." ”

The good concubine muttered: "According to my sister's appearance and dancing skills, I am indeed wronged to stay in the position of promise for a long time. Let me ask you, what is the emperor's biggest worry now? ”

Wei promised to say without thinking: "The emperor is most worried about the drought in the world at the moment. ”

Concubine Liang nodded and said: "If my sister can contribute to alleviating the drought, then the emperor will definitely be impressed by my sister, and it is natural to be crowned." ”

Wei promised to look embarrassed and said, "What can I do with a female stream?" ”

The good concubine took a sip of tea from the cup, and said calmly: "Of course you can't change the natural disaster, but you can go and pray for rain and blessings, the emperor just needs to see the process and understand your mind." ”

Wei promised to bow his head and think about it, then said with a smile: "Thank you sister for mentioning it, my sister understands." ”

Wei promised to be in a good mood, Shi Shiran left the Chunhe Palace, and the concubine shook her head, with a subtle smile on her face.

One day four or five days later, the fiery sun was suddenly obscured by a thick cloud, and soon the wind was fierce, the lightning and thunder roared, and the raindrops the size of beans poured down like beads with broken threads.

After a long drought and a rainstorm, Qin Tianjian took the opportunity to play: "Your Majesty, this time the rain fell from the sky, it is a fortunate thing, this is my great Yin's blessing, Weichen watched the sky yesterday night, from the stars, this rain is related to the emperor's heir, I don't know which master in the harem is pregnant with a dragon fetus, which caused this rain." ”

Yu Lin couldn't help but say: "Is this true? Now the newly conceived concubine in the harem is only the jade concubine, could it be that the child in the womb of the jade concubine is my lucky star of Dayin? ”

Qin Tianjian hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Congratulations to the emperor!" Bless you! ”

Yu Linlongyan Dayue, called Li Zhong in on the spot, and gave a lot of rewards, Li Zhong took more than a dozen little eunuchs, and went to Bixiu Palace to send rewards.

A little eunuch recklessly broke into the Chengming Palace, Yu Lin saw that he was very unhappy, and was just about to order someone to fight out, the little eunuch fell to the ground with a plop, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "My little master has been praying for blessings and rain in Baohua Hall day and night in recent days, and he fainted due to lack of strength today, please go over and take a look." ”

Yu Lin asked, "Who is the little master of your family?" ”

The little eunuch patted his head and said, "The slave should die." The little master of my family is the Ni Shang Pavilion Guard, and he agreed. ”

"Oh, it's purple." Yu Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Has the imperial doctor been to see it?" ”

The little eunuch said: "The imperial physician went to see it and said that it was caused by the little master's overthinking and fatigue. ”

Yu Lin sighed: "It is rare for Wei to promise to worry about the society and pray for the blessing of the country, so he moved the heavens and rained down." I'm going to see her, and I'm going to take a look at her! ”

Yu Lin's guard of honor went to the Nishang Pavilion in a majestic manner, and it was night, so he rested at Wei Promise.
