Yehenala did not reprimand her, but instead let out a long sigh, "I'll forget it if I hear these words. Concubine Shen must not mention them in front of anyone again, otherwise I'm afraid she will get into trouble."
Ning heard the dissatisfaction behind Yehenala's words, her eyes lit up and she said: "My Lady, you also treat the Queen..."
Yehenala smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, there are more than a few people in the palace who have the same idea as you, but everyone is in the way of her being the queen. In order to avoid being made difficult by her, they all dare to be angry and dare not speak out!"
Mrs. Ning took it seriously and said: "I thought she would treat us better as a queen, but it turns out that it's all the same. Everything is for her own consideration. We... huh, we are just stepping stones for her.
After using it, just throw it aside without even bothering to take care of it.”
"The human heart is like this. Although we all understand this truth, it is still chilling every time I think of it." Yehenara sighed for a moment and said: "I heard that Concubine Shen was summoned to Kunning Palace alone to talk about this matter.
Is it true?"
Yehenala was very close to the Wei family, so Ning was not familiar with her, and she had never mentioned that matter to her. When she saw her question now, she had already suppressed her anger.
Immediately, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, everything was poured out.
"Tell me, I just took some water to sprinkle on the ground to cool down, so I was scolded by her. She allowed me to say whatever I wanted, and I was not allowed to sprinkle water on the ground again. She even gave me a big hat.
Hat, I said that the water I used to sprinkle the ground could save so many lives. Yes, water use around the capital is a serious issue nowadays.
But they all have hands and feet, so can't they go to fetch water from a farther place? If they have to wait for others to come for relief, I want to say that those people are not worthy of sympathy at all. In the past, I would not do anything at home.
I have never suffered like this before. I didn’t expect that after entering the palace, I wouldn’t even be able to drink water. It’s really funny!”
A trace of sarcasm flashed across Yehenara's eyes, but his face showed deep understanding: "That's exactly the case, but the queen can't listen to these words, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"Your Majesty is wrong. It's not that the queen can't listen, but she doesn't want to listen." Ning said in a slightly shrill voice: "If she doesn't do this, how can she show her demeanor as a queen who loves her people like a son and is kind to the world in front of the emperor?
Please please the Queen Mother; no, I will go to Cining Palace to receive the reward today."
"Well, maybe this makes people feel dissatisfied. In fact, she is already a queen, so why should she be dissatisfied? The people are certainly pitiful, but what about us? We are also human beings and have known her for many years. We should take care of her no matter what.
It's good now..." Yehenara shook his head and said, "The more I talk about it, the more depressed I become. I don't know what will happen in the future."
Ning's eyes rolled slightly, "Actually... the empress is ranked as the fourth concubine, why not try to give advice to the empress? In addition, there is empress Wanfei. The last time I mentioned it to her, she had the same thoughts.
Well; if you two speak together, maybe the queen will listen."
Yehenala smiled bitterly and said: "Concubine Shen thinks too simply. The queen has always disliked me, so how can she listen to my advice? If she really goes, she will definitely be reprimanded, and she may even go to the emperor to make arrangements.
I paused and said that I was cold-blooded and selfish, pursuing my own desires and wasting the lives of thousands of people."
"That's true." Ning said disappointedly: "So, we can only let her cover the sky with one hand?"
Yehenala patted her hand gently and comforted: "We are not as powerful as others, so we can only let her do it and be patient."
Ning said with a sad face: "I understand that I don't know how long it will take to live like this. Moreover, she is about to give birth. If she gives birth to an elder brother by then, she will be the first among all elder brothers. Your Majesty."
He even wanted to pamper her to the end of the world. Where else could she be?
Our shelter." At this time, Ning completely forgot about the favor Xianyue had given her, and also forgot that it was mostly thanks to Xianyue's grace that she could climb from Chang Zai to the position of the Lord of the First Palace today.
Human nature... often cannot be looked at carefully, otherwise you will find that it is really ugly.
Yehenala smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, no one can be favored forever. As long as we wait patiently, there will always be a chance."
Ning did not understand the hidden meaning of her words, and said with a frown: "I hope so, otherwise this life will be really boring."
While the people in the harem were complaining about the water used by one person, Hongli was worried about the water used by thousands of people. Water, something that is usually not taken seriously, is more precious than gold at this time.
, people can live without gold, but they cannot
There is no water; now the situation is getting worse and worse. There is no water in Yongping Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, and Tianjin Prefecture. If it doesn’t rain again, victims from other places may flood into the capital nearest to them at any time. By the time
At that time, the capital city would be in chaos!
However, no matter how hard Hongli tried, he could not calculate the sky. He could only find ways to find places to transport water. However, as the drought worsened, there were fewer and fewer places to transport water. The few places with water in the past became
Judging from the current situation in dry land, the known water sources can only support it for another half month at most. After half a month... He doesn't know what to do, but there are warning messages coming from Tibet.
In front of Hongli lay a memorial that had just been presented today. It was also a memorial reporting the drought and requesting the court to provide relief. He held the ink pen for a long time, but he still didn't know how to write. The available water sources should be used to support the existing disaster areas.
It's all barely, and adding one more... is simply impossible, but if he leaves it alone, there are tens of thousands of people. How can he just watch them suffer from thirst and hunger and ignore them.
After thinking for a long time, I finally couldn't think of a solution. Instead, I became more and more upset. I put my ink pen down heavily, got up and walked back and forth in the hall.
Si Xi stood quietly on one side and did not dare to say anything. Ever since the drought became more and more serious, Hongli's mood became worse day by day. He rarely scolded them in the past, but this time if something was wrong, he would be scolded.
At this time, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open. Before he saw the people who came in, Hongli shouted: "Whoever allows you to come in, get out!"
The person who opened the door was Xiao Wu. Hearing this, he quickly knelt down to apologize. At the same time, a very pleasant voice sounded, "The emperor doesn't even want to see his concubines?"
Hearing this voice, Hongli was startled, and then his anger dissipated instantly, and he walked over and said, "Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Xianyue. She knelt down and said, "I made some snacks and brought them to the emperor to try."
Hongli supported her and said with pity: "Didn't I tell you not to work too hard? Why don't you listen to me? Just let the palace people do this kind of thing."
