Chapter 155 The Dandy Prince and His Irritable Concubine
"Wife, you are so beautiful!"
Bai Yu suddenly moved closer, only 0.01 mm away from Lin Wanwan's nose.
"Yeah?"
Bai Yu's initiative aroused Lin Wanwan's interest. She leaned forward slightly and touched something soft.
"Um?"
"Daughter-in-law..."
Bai Yu stretched out his hand, trying to put some distance between them.
"Don't move, dear!"
Lin Wanwan pulled Bai Yu by the collar and deepened the kiss.
Bai Yu was a little resistant at first, but gradually, like a cat that had tasted fresh fish, he began to learn without any instruction.
"daughter in law……"
"I, I feel uncomfortable!"
Lin Wanwan's hand touched an indescribable part, making Bai Yu's already fiery heart even more uncontrollable.
"No, we have to go somewhere else."
Lin Wanwan hugged Bai Yu tightly, tiptoed, and flew to the top of the cliff.
With the cultivation level of the foundation-building stage, she is already able to learn the sword-wielding technique, but she has not mastered the technique, so she can only fly at low altitude for short periods of time. After a long time, her spiritual power cannot keep up.
"Where is this place?"
The two of them were lying in the flowers all over the mountain. Bai Yu wanted to look around, but was pushed back by Lin Wanwan.
“Don’t move…”
The grudges that had been lingering in the two people's hearts were all broken at this moment.
When a sharp pain came, Lin Wanwan realized that she was still a girl.
"Didn't we consummate our marriage before?"
"Wife, don't talk!"
When Lin Wanwan and Bai Yu returned to the temple with a large sack of peaches, the old princess had already returned from the queen.
She looked at her son and daughter-in-law. Although they still liked to stick to her as before, something seemed to have changed.
The way the son looks at his daughter-in-law is no longer as innocent as before.
Considering that the two had been out for so long, the old princess came to a conclusion in her heart.
But she was only secretly happy in her heart and decided to go to the temple to burn incense to the Buddha again later.
If the daughter-in-law can get pregnant this time, then their Fengwang Mansion will have an heir.
They stayed in Jing'an Temple for three consecutive days!
Back in the palace, the old emperor had already distributed the water wheels made by the Ministry of Works to various villages that were short of water.
Long before the water trucks were distributed, county magistrates in various places had been notified to organize the villagers to dig ditches.
After the waterwheel was installed, the people cheered excitedly as they watched the river water flowing into the fields.
"Thank you, Lord Dragon!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"I didn't expect His Majesty to still care about us. He knew we were in trouble and sent a water truck."
"I just don't know which master made this waterwheel?"
Not only the common people were paying attention to this matter, but even the wealthy merchants from all over the country were also watching the operation of the waterwheel.
"Fellow villagers, please listen to me."
The magistrate of a certain county stood up at this moment, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, making the place quiet.
"This waterwheel was made by the young prince Bai Yu of Fengwangfu. After passing the inspection by His Majesty, it was commissioned by the Ministry of Industry to be manufactured and distributed to various towns and villages."
"This waterwheel can not only transport water to higher ground to irrigate farmland, but it can also be used to build mills, saving manpower."
"However, the money to build the mill will have to be raised by the villagers themselves. Building an ordinary stone house and getting a few tools won't cost much. This county magistrate strongly recommends it, so don't miss it."
"Do you see those craftsmen over there? They're masters from the palace."
"Fellow villagers, please come to a conclusion as soon as possible on whether or not to build a mill. If you delay, once the masters are gone, there will be no one to help us!"
This waterwheel not only irrigates the land of one village, but also irrigates the entire land.
This large piece of land connects several villages.
At this time, the village heads of each village had gathered together, especially the heads of several neighboring villages, to discuss how to raise money.
Just as the county said, building a mill factory is quite expensive for a village.
But if several villages come together, each household will only contribute a dozen or twenty cents.
But from now on, it will be convenient to grind rice and flour without having to use a stone hammer to grind it.
This is a matter of spending little money to achieve great things. The village heads are all knowledgeable and will naturally not miss it.
What's more, in addition to the villagers who use the waterwheel, other villages farther away can also make a profit by grinding rice and flour.
The money will be recorded in public records and distributed among several villages in due course.
In a few years, the money invested will be earned back.
Just like that, with the Empress going to the temple to pray and the Emperor sending water carts, the entire disaster was alleviated and controlled overnight.
But the drought continued and not a drop of rain fell from the sky.
This crop of grain is ripe, but what about the next crop?
At this time, the ministers in the court were already arguing.
Some people advocated digging reservoirs to store water, while others felt that God would never cut off the people's livelihood.
Just let nature take its course and the heavy rain will come soon.
Others suggested that the emperor go to the temple in person to pray for rain, and if that didn't work, a large-scale sacrificial ceremony should be held.
While the court was in turmoil, life was peaceful and tranquil at Jing'an Temple.
The old princess chatted with the queen every day and also talked with other wives of officials.
Bai Yu takes Lin Wanwan out to play every day. There are many fun places near Jing'an Temple.
The peaches that had been picked earlier had been given by the old princess to the queen and the female relatives she was on good terms with.
Bai Yu, however, fell in love with the feeling of flying, and would often drag Lin Wanwan into the deep mountains and forests and let her take him flying a few times.
At the same time, he also tasted the beauty of his wife and secretly cursed those friends who misled him into saying that his wife was a terrible tigress.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to hide from his wife every night, for fear that she would turn into a tiger and swallow him in one bite.
On the day when Lin Wanwan and the others were preparing to go back, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and a heavy rain poured down.
This rain directly filled up all the dry gullies.
The Queen immediately expressed her desire to stay one more day to pray and thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing.
It was at this time that a certain part of the border was invaded by foreign enemies, and a city had already been captured.
A large number of refugees are heading towards the interior of the country, and even more people are suffering from harassment from powerful enemies.
The old emperor had not been happy about the rain for two days when he suddenly received urgent news from the border. He was so worried that he lost his appetite and couldn't even drink tea.
He lost a lot of weight in just a few days, which made the Queen very anxious.
Even Lin Wanwan and Bai Yu, who were on their honeymoon, couldn't help but hear about the news in the court.
