Later, Mu Run heard that Long Qian was ill. She didn't see him again until the day of her repeatedly postponed coronation ceremony.
...
The torrential rain has been pouring down for seven days straight.
The coronation ceremony, which had been scheduled, had to be postponed due to the weather, and another auspicious day had to be chosen. It was as if the heavens were deliberately preventing her from holding the coronation ceremony.
Shortly after the news of the postponement of the ceremony spread, the sky cleared up.
Some people inevitably began to question whether Mu Run was truly capable of becoming the empress.
But just as the doubts arose, it started snowing heavily again.
Moreover, it was snowing all over the continent, even at sea.
This has nothing to do with Mu Run.
However, the disasters caused by this snow are continuing to escalate and are becoming increasingly severe.
Chongyang Prefecture, located in the southern border region, rarely sees snow, and even when it does, it melts quickly. However, in the Northern Jin Dynasty and the more northerly Central Jin Dynasty, the cold weather has led to the appearance of frozen corpses.
The original plan of the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Middle Jin Dynasty to jointly besiege Chongyang Prefecture had to be shelved due to natural disasters.
Mu Run set up a heated table in the inner hall and taught the two children to draw.
When Fu Yunchen finished his official duties and came over, he saw the three children and one adult happily gathered around the warm table, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up.
Mu Run turned her head and looked at her. "You're back."
Fu Yunchen: "Hmm, how are you and the children?"
“It’s getting colder outside, so I didn’t let them go out. They just stayed inside and painted for a while.” Mu Run handed the snowman and deer that Huanhuan and Tuantuan had drawn to Fu Yunchen for his appreciation.
Fu Yunchen looked at the child's doodles and smiled, "Not bad, he has some talent."
"Daddy, I want to eat candied hawthorns." Tuantuan showed Fu Yunchen the candied hawthorns she had just drawn.
"I want to eat lamb skewers." Huanhuan drew a big lamb skewer.
Fu Yunchen said to the palace maid waiting outside the door, "Have the kitchen prepare candied hawthorns and mutton skewers."
"Yes." The palace maid immediately went to relay the order.
"Mom, I need to pee." Huanhuan climbed out from under the kotatsu.
Tuantuan also said, "I'm going to pee too."
Mu Run nodded, "Okay, go quickly. Try to do it yourself and don't trouble the palace maids too much~"
"Okay." The two children ran to the latrine.
Two palace maids hurriedly followed them.
Once the two children were out of sight, Mu Run opened a corner of the kotatsu (heated table), saying, "Sit down and warm up."
Mu Run took his slightly cold hand and rubbed it in her own soft, warm hand. "Is there anything wrong today?"
Looking at her fair and rosy face, Fu Yunchen felt a sense of peace and reassurance. "Disaster victim."
Mu Run frowned slightly: "Are there disaster victims in Chongyang Prefecture?"
Fu Yunchen said, "Of course not. They are from other places, mostly from the Northern Jin Dynasty."
"Is it because of this snow?"
"Yes. It's still snowing in the Northern Jin Dynasty, and people are starting to freeze to death. The court isn't actively providing disaster relief, causing many victims to flock to Chongyang Prefecture. Officials in various places have also started submitting memorials asking whether they should accept those victims."
"Although people are the foundation of a nation, we must act within our means."
"You don't need to worry about the money."
"...How much silver have you saved up that you can still afford to spend it now?" Mu Run asked curiously.
"Hehe, taking Chongyang Prefecture is no problem."
Mu Run leaned against him and picked up a drawing she had made.
It's a map, shaped like a tiger's head.
---Aside---
