Chapter 49 Dragon King Likes to

Eat Vegetarian Food The Emperor glanced at Gu Huaiyu: "Go and see if Xiaoxiao is here?" Without Xiaoxiao, he was unsure.

With Xiaoxiao, he was not very sure either. He must be crazy to believe that a baby less than half a year old could bring life-saving rain to Dashuo.

But even if there was a slight possibility, he had to try. The dikes and canals were all dry. If it didn't rain, the people would go hungry.

If the rain prayer was successful, all these problems would be solved. If it was unsuccessful, at most he would be confirmed as a tyrant, but it wouldn't get any worse.

Zhao Wanyue saw that the time was almost up, so she woke Su Xiaoxiao up: "Wake up quickly, today is the day to offer sacrifices to the gods, Xiaoxiao, you can't sleep any more, this is disrespectful to the gods!"

Su Xiaoxiao was sleepy, but she also forced herself to be alert: [I almost forgot, the emperor gave me meat to eat, I promised to pray for him! ]

Zhao Wanyue's heart was throbbing, Xiaoxiao prayed for rain, the emperor was really generous.

The prince came to pick up Su Xiaoxiao in person, wearing a proper court dress.

"Madam Zhao, Xiaoxiao has a noble fate. My father asked me to bring Xiaoxiao to the altar to pray for rain. My mother is very grateful to you and Xiaoxiao. Please go sit next to her so that you can take care of Xiaoxiao!"

The prince's words were flawless. The altar was such an important occasion, and Zhao Wanyue was worried about Xiaoxiao. It would be good to be closer to her.

She kowtowed to thank the emperor and let the nanny take her to the queen.

The queen was surrounded by people of the first rank with distinguished family backgrounds. With Liu's status, she could only sit in the back three rows.

Zheng Yaxian came here for the first time, and her eyes were full of curiosity. She kept looking around.

Suddenly, she pulled Liu and whispered, "Mother, isn't that my sister-in-law? Where is that nanny taking her?"

Liu raised her eyelids and said, "There are only two female positions in our house, so of course she was taken out!"

"No, my sister-in-law was taken to the Queen's side, and the Queen even reached out and pulled her!" Zheng Yaxian was really jealous.

Liu was shocked. How could it be possible? She was nothing next to the Queen.

But Zhao Wanyue sat there so openly, and the ladies around her were envious of Liu again.

Just when someone wanted to curry favor with Liu, the morning bell rang, and the emperor, holding Su Xiaoxiao in his arms, followed by the prince, slowly climbed the stairs, solemn and dignified.

Everyone looked at him: "Who is that little kid? I haven't heard that there is a little princess in the palace?"

"It's such an honor for the emperor to hold the little kid himself during the sacrifice to heaven!"

Su Bowen and his father-in-law Zhao Antai looked at each other.

"Why is Xiaoxiao up there?"

"I don't know!"

After the two exchanged glances, their hearts were in their throats. The emperor was so ostentatious that Xiaoxiao couldn't hide.

The emperor stood still holding Su Xiaoxiao, and he looked like he was ready to die.

Cheng Xingzuo recited the rain-praying spell seriously with a solemn face, but he was panicking in his heart. He was afraid that his life would be in danger.

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed his eyes, looked at the offerings on the altar, and muttered in his heart: [Why send chicken, duck, fish and meat to the Dragon King? He likes to eat vegetarian food. Cabbage, green vegetables and radish are his favorites! ]

The prince was shocked. Is this true? Who uses cabbage as an offering in sacrifice?

But he still found a chance to whisper a few words to the emperor.

The emperor did not change his expression, but said: "Why don't you ask them to add some, the more the better!"

As the saying goes, when you are sick, you seek medical help everywhere. The emperor can't care about so much at this moment.

The prince quietly summoned Eunuch Yang, and soon, palace servants came with plates of cabbage, radishes, and even a piece of sugar cane.

Everyone was in a state of rage again. Was the emperor so angry that he lost his mind? It was already admirable that he dared to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for rain at this critical moment. Now he asked the gods to eat vegetarian food. How could this be praying for rain? This was actually pissing off the heavens!

Even though it was such a solemn occasion, the court officials and ladies could no longer hold back, and the quiet crowd became a little chaotic.

The queen was as calm as ever. Zhao Wanyue sighed in her heart: "The queen who rules the country is really extraordinary!"

The queen smiled calmly: "With Xiaoxiao here, nothing will go wrong!" Xiaoxiao cured her son. In the queen's heart, Xiaoxiao is more effective than a bodhisattva.

Zhao Wanyue: "..."

You dare to imagine that Zhao Wanyue really wants to stay away from the queen. She doesn't have the confidence!

The emperor lowered his head and asked patiently: "Xiaoxiao, can it rain?"

Su Xiaoxiao drank a sip of milk and nodded obediently.

Then he raised his head and chattered something.

[Dragon King, please help, let it rain. The emperor said that if it doesn't rain, the people's crops will be doomed! 】

【How heavy should it rain? Of course it has to soak the crops thoroughly! That one you are talking about, is it sugarcane, isn’t it delicious? Okay, I will prepare it for you in the future! 】

The prince looked at his nose and his heart, afraid that he would not be able to hold back his laughter. Xiaoxiao was not praying for rain, she was chatting with the Dragon King.

The emperor carried her to the altar and knelt down with the prince: "Please pray to the heaven to send down rain and bless the people!"

Su Xiaoxiao sat on the altar and suddenly felt unwell. When she went out in the morning, she was still sleeping and her mother did not help her pee.

【It's over, it's over, I can't hold it anymore, it's so embarrassing! 】

The prince was shocked, but before he could lift Su Xiaoxiao down from the altar, the altar was wet.

At the same time, thunder roared, dark clouds pressed down, and bean-sized raindrops fell cracklingly.

The emperor kowtowed three times devoutly and picked up Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you are my lucky star. You solved my big problem with just a pee!"

The prince's heart fell back to its original place. His father was always willing to accept Xiaoxiao's advice!

Cheng Xingzuo was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. This prayer for rain was successful, and his prayer for rain was not finished yet!

He silently counted with his fingers and almost dropped his jaw. The rain would last for five days and four nights. He had clearly cast a fortune this morning, and it was still no rain. No rain, it was really a big deal!

It was a miracle, absolutely a miracle. The emperor's sincerity moved the heavens. He faced the emperor, prostrated himself, and said loudly: "The emperor cares about the people and loves the people. The heavens have been moved and sent down the rain. The emperor is the true dragon emperor of Dashuo!"

Everyone also knelt down: "Our emperor is wise, long live the emperor!"

“My lords, please stand up. Today, God has shown mercy and bestowed us with sweet rain. This is a blessing for the new year and the people. I hereby declare that the counties affected by the disaster will be exempted from corvée for three years, and the people will be able to resume production and live and work in peace!”

The ministers bowed down again: “Your Majesty is wise!” This time, they believed the words of the Qintianjian that the emperor was a true dragon emperor. All of them felt that the emperor was kind and were proud to be his subjects.

No, there was still one. The eldest prince, who knelt on the ground, had a look of reluctance in his eyes. He had built up his power with great difficulty, but in the end, it fulfilled the emperor’s reputation.

He only prayed that the rain would not fall again. As long as the crops could not be saved, he could seduce the refugees to rebel, and his own power could take advantage of the opportunity.
