Chapter 301 Sacrifice to Heaven and Pray for Rain (2)
Seeing the emperor getting angry, everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down..."
Zhao Chengji had dealt with this matter once in his previous life, so he didn't panic if he encountered it again. Fortunately, in the past two years, the national treasury has been full, and there are grains in every place. Even the grains in the homes of ordinary people are enough to eat one or two
Month. Even if there is no food, relief food can still be transported from another place to provide emergency relief. However, the most important thing now is not food, but water.
If this weather continues like this, more people will die. After the drought in the previous life passed, according to statistics, the number of deaths was as many as thousands, and many families were broken because of it. Later, everything returned to calm. But, thinking of those people who died,
Zhao Chengji felt a little heavy.
Even if he is reborn, this kind of natural disaster is beyond his control. The only thing he can do is to reduce the disaster with all his strength so that fewer people die.
After frowning slightly, Zhao Chengji began to discuss disaster relief matters with the ministers... It was not until noon that the Rongxi Palace returned to the harem from the front court under the sun.
It has not rained for three consecutive months, and even the most prosperous imperial capital has been affected. In short, during this period, people are panicked.
It's so hot today, so there is a basin of ice cubes placed in the Ronxi Palace to cool down.
Inside the hall, the floor is covered with carpets, and there are mats on the carpets, which can be used to cool down on hot days, and it is also suitable for children to crawl on.
"Your Highness, this way, come quickly, I have a little tiger in my hands."
"Come here, concubine, give me a hug."
"Oh~"
"Wow~"
Listening to the child's soft and waxy voice makes your heart melt.
This was what Zhao Chengji saw after he came to Yu Lan's palace. Seeing them, his impetuous heart suddenly calmed down.
A seven-month-old child has already recognized people. Especially when he is close to his parents, he has also begun to grow teeth and talk nonsense.
As soon as the bright yellow figure walked in, the sharp-eyed little princess saw it.
"Father~"
When she saw Zhao Chengji coming back, the little princess, who was lying on the mat playing by herself, crawled towards him and called her father in a soft and waxy voice.
Hearing his daughter calling him, Zhao Chengji's heart instantly softened. He took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up his daughter, lifting it easily above his head.
"My little princess."
"So good."
After gently weighing it, he skillfully held it in his arms.
"Father~"
Zhao Chengji was happy when he heard his daughter calling him, but he still couldn't help but call her.
"Yes, Father, please call me Father."
Being held by him, the little princess waved her little hands.
"Father~"
"Father~"
Obviously, she will call it that now. For a seven-month-old child, it is already quite good to be able to talk to people. It is normal to have a lisp.
"..."
Holding the child with one hand, Zhao Chengji reached out and gently touched his daughter's head.
"I've gained some weight."
"Come, call Father."
"Giggle~"
Okay, let’s just stop calling.
The chubby hand in front of him touched his face directly, and it was soft. Just when Zhao Chengji looked like he was enjoying it, he was greeted by the little princess's usual scratch.
Seeing the emperor's face being scratched, Ji Wen, who was standing aside, stepped forward.
"emperor……"
"It's okay, step back."
The people around him were making a fuss, and they were caught twice by the little princess, but it was not like they had never been caught before. Speaking of which, it seemed that this was the only one who was in a hurry to disturb Tai Sui.
Seeing that the child's father was caught in the face again, Yu Lan was a little bit dumbfounded.
Stepping forward, Yu Lan reached out and patted her daughter's little hand.
"How can I catch my father? I'll beat him if he doesn't obey."
