Si Xi took an umbrella and put it on Yinzhen's head, but he pushed it away, "Take it away, I don't need it."
"But..." Before Si Xi tried to persuade him, Yunxiang already smiled and said, "That's all, the emperor is in high spirits, take it."
"Hey!" Si Xi reluctantly put away her umbrella and muttered as she retreated, "What a coincidence, as soon as Duke Fu left, it started to rain."
His casual words sounded like thunder in Yinzhen's ears. Is it really just a coincidence, or...does even God despise Nian Gengyao?
The rain fell all day and all night, completely nourishing the thirsty land and people. This night became the most joyful day since the drought. As for the rivers and streams, they were once again flowing so clear that it made people cry.
of running water.
Although the drought that had lasted for several months in the capital was not completely relieved by this rain, it was relieved a lot, and water transportation was suspended. In short, the entire capital was regaining its vitality.
In the harem, looking at the torrential rain, Ling Ruo smiled sincerely. She knew that this rain solved the urgent needs of Yinzhen and the Qing Dynasty.
"Master, you have been standing here for a long time, it's time to go back." Shui Xiu reminded at the side, while covering Ling Ruo with the cloak in his hand.
"Your Majesty, you can finally have a good sleep tonight." With that said, Ling Ruo turned around and walked towards the palace, her expression relaxed and at ease. No one knew better than her the tremendous pressure that Yinzhen had been under these days.
Shui Xiu smiled and said: "Yes, from now on our palace will no longer have to calculate water use. Although my family was poor before, there was never a time when there was no water."
"In the future, you should save what you should save, don't waste it carelessly." Ling Ruo said, holding a gold hand stove. As the autumn rain fell, the weather became colder, and hand warmers were already used in the palace.
Yang Hai came in with a cup of tea, happened to hear these words, and said with a smile: "The slaves know, master, don't worry."
At night, heavy rain fell, and Shuixiu was leading people around to light lamps when she accidentally saw Yinzhen coming in. She quickly turned sideways and saluted. Behind him was Sixi, who was closing his umbrella and throwing water.
Yinzhen crossed the crowd and came to Ling Ruo, helped her up personally, and said with a smile: "Get up, there is no need to be polite."
Ling Ruoxiao looked at him and said, "The emperor seems to be in a good mood today?"
Yinzhen raised the corners of his lips and said, "Yes, once this rain comes, all my worries will be gone. I just hope that the weather will always be smooth in the future and there will be no drought again."
"No, the emperor loves his people like his own children. God will definitely understand the emperor and everything will go smoothly."
"I hope so." Yinzhen pinched Ling Ruo's wrist and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. I'm hungry. Maybe I've eaten?"
"I will ask people to prepare now." After instructing the palace people to prepare, Ling Ruo said angrily: "The emperor was coming without notifying me in advance, which caught me off guard."
"Originally I didn't come, but I suddenly wanted to see you." At this point, he said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I haven't calmed down and sat with you like this for a long time, even the last time I came to watch a play.
Go in a hurry. This period of time has been really stressful, but now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Ling Ruo burst into laughter and said: "Yes, then the emperor can carefully select beautiful women to fill the harem. I believe that by then, there will be so many beauties in the palace, like the concubines, that the emperor will forget about them by then.
..”
Yinzhen pretended to be angry and said: "You girl, you are so brave, you dare to make fun of me."
"I don't dare!" Ling Ruo leaned forward and said, but the smile in her eyes completely betrayed her.
"You!" Yinzhen pinched her nose, with a hint of doting: "I really don't know what to say to you."
Shuixiu bowed and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, Master, you are ready to enjoy your meal." Although the Master laughed often in the past, he only smiled the most happily when facing the Emperor, without any reluctance.
"Okay, let's go down first." After signaling Shuixiu to step back, Yinzhen suddenly sighed softly, stroking Ling Ruo's extremely soft cheek under the light and said seriously: "As an emperor, I can't say that I drowned three thousand animals.
If you take a scoop, I can guarantee that no matter how many women there are in the palace, you, Niu Hulu Lingruo, will always be the most special one in my heart, and no one can replace you."
"I know." These four simple words condensed Ling Ruo's twenty-year affection for Yinzhen. From the day she entered Prince Yong's Mansion, she knew that she no longer had the qualifications to demand Yixinren.
Although it is sad, at least Yinzhen treated her special, far better than other concubines, so she really can't ask for more.
Yinzhen pulled Ling Ruo to stand up and said, "Okay, let's go have a meal. I'm really hungry. I only ate a small plate of snacks at noon, and my stomach is already empty."
But he didn't expect Ling Ruoyin to become anxious after hearing this, "Your Majesty knows that his stomach is not good, why are he still hungry? How about it, do you feel any pain?"
"I'm fine, you, don't be always surprised, don't forget that you are the concubine Xi in the palace now." As he said this, his words were filled with joy. Ling Ruo's concern was reflected in his grace and coldness.
The real palace is still precious.
How many women flattered him in every possible way on the surface and accepted his wishes, but in fact they were just trying to use that little bit of favor to consolidate their status in the palace.
Ling Ruo refused to comply this time and said: "Don't talk about me as a concubine. Even the Queen will be anxious after hearing this. Your body is always the most important thing."
"Okay, I understand. Can we have dinner now, Concubine Xi?" Yinzhen looked at her with a smile, without any hint of displeasure.
Ling Ruo laughed for a while when he said it, fearing that Yinzhen would really get sick from hunger, so she quickly ordered someone to bring him a bowl of soup to fill his stomach, and then he ate again. As soon as he took a sip, he said strangely: "Hongli
Well, why don’t you see him?”
Ling Ruo replied: "Just now he kept complaining that he was hungry, so he asked the kitchen to deliver it to him first. I guess he has finished eating by now."
"That's good. I'm just afraid that he'll be too focused on his homework and forget to eat. He's growing tall now and won't be hungry." At this point, he said happily: "Among my sons, Hong is the one."
He has the best lessons in his career, and his knowledge has also improved rapidly. Master Zhu has praised me in front of me several times."
Ling Ruo took the soup scooped by Shui Xiu and put it in front of her, and said casually: "I see, isn't my third brother working very hard recently?"
Yinzhen's hand holding the dish stopped, and he said slowly: "Hong Sheng has indeed improved a lot than before, but it's a pity that he has a mother who never knows how to improve." Before Ling Ruo could answer, he said: "
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore and let’s eat.”
Ling Ruo could clearly feel the change in Yinzhen's mood. It seemed that he was extremely disgusted with Nian Suyan and the entire Nian family behind him.
The Battle of Guoluoke was probably the last time Nian Gengyao appeared on the battlefield. After that, no matter what the situation in the northwest was, Yinzhen would not keep him anymore.
