Chapter 397 Heaven Blesses the Great Yu
It really rained all day long.
The heavy rain soaked the capital city completely.
The sky didn't clear up until the evening of the next day.
The capital city was exceptionally clean after being washed by the heavy rain.
On the streets and on the houses, the dust that had accumulated over the past three months had been washed away clean.
The air was still damp, but a distinctive earthy scent permeated the air.
It feels like the long-lost soil has come back to life.
The moat was full, the crops in the farmland outside Beijing had come back to life, and smiles appeared on the faces of the people.
The river and the well seem to have returned to the way they were before.
Shangguan Jin left Bao'en Temple after the rain stopped.
Last night, Master Xingyun said something that Shangguan Jin didn't want to admit, and then he never came out again.
Shangguan Jin didn't dare to ask. After returning to her room, she spent the whole day watching the rain.
Before leaving, Shangguan Jin asked the abbot and found out the answer.
Master Xingyun has gone into seclusion again...
Sigh, these people with some skills are all so mysterious and eccentric; she'd better avoid getting involved with them.
"Benefactor, this is a protective amulet prepared by Master Xingyun for the old lady and young masters and ladies in your household."
There are seven sets in total, each personally blessed by the master.
As the host spoke, he presented Shangguan Jin with seven brocade pouches containing amulets.
Shangguan Jin...
How embarrassing! She didn't donate much money this time, she shouldn't accept such a reward without having done anything in return...
However, one cannot refuse a gift from an elder! Master Xingyun is so much older than me, it is only right that I accept it...
If all else fails, I'll just bring more money next time I come!
Buddha, please don't be offended. Next time I will definitely donate double to make up for what I owe today...
And so, Shangguan Jin returned to the capital with seven protective amulets.
......
The next morning, after breakfast, Shangguan Jin followed Shen Qingyue and took everyone the Shen family could to Chunbuwan for tea.
When Shangguan Jin and her group arrived, the first floor of Chun Buwan was already crowded with people.
It got busier an hour earlier than usual.
The tea drinkers' eyes lit up, and they rolled up their sleeves, as if they had a lot to say.
It's been two days!
They held back the rain for just as long as it had been brewing.
The heavens sent down a timely rain, and the Empress gave birth to twins—two things happening at once, how could they not be excited!
As it turns out, anything can be transformed by adding a touch of metaphysics.
People can always get everything arranged for you at your doorstep.
"The son of my neighbor's brother works in the palace."
Of course, he's not a eunuch; he's a proper bodyguard.
People said that when the Empress took action, it got dark.
"Just as the first clap of thunder sounded, Her Majesty the Empress suddenly said that her stomach hurt," said Tea Drinker A.
“You’re wrong! My next-door neighbor owns a shop, and the eunuchs and palace servants often ask him to sell their things.”
He was saying that at the beginning, it was His Majesty who was holding court.
Then a group of treacherous officials were dealt with.
He was still a treacherous minister who was deeply hidden.
Then, right after the treacherous officials were dealt with, thunder began to rumble in the sky, and only then did the Empress begin her attack.
"My order is correct!" Tea drinker B immediately said.
Many people began to agree.
"Yes, yes, yes! The treacherous officials were dealt with first, then the thunder struck."
"Yes, that's what I heard too."
"That's right!"
Upon hearing this, the previous tea drinker, let's call him A, quickly waved his hand.
“You are talking about two different things. Dealing with treacherous officials is one thing, but the imperial family has already planned that matter long ago!”
Aren't they just those old scholars who talk about classical Chinese all day long?
The imperial family had long disliked them.
They've been jumping around too high lately, so the imperial family has to deal with them.
They also spread rumors that the drought in Chongqing was caused by the Tian family offending the heavens.
In reality, it was their many bad deeds that shook the foundations of the Great Yu state.
"Look, once we dealt with them, it started raining, didn't it?" said Tea drinker A.
"These are indeed two different things."
It's one thing for the treacherous officials to be dealt with.
However, the rain was closely related to the Empress giving birth to twins.
Imagine, the sky was overcast for two days, and the clouds were so thick they were almost terrifying.
But it just won't download.
She collapsed with a whoosh only after the princess and prince came out.
Therefore, the rain was brought by the princess and the prince.
These are legitimate dragon princes and princesses! They've come, and seeing the great drought in Yu, they have no choice but to send some rain! "Tea drinker B continued.
"Yes, yes, yes! Wherever the dragon prince and princess pass, rain falls."
That's right.
This downpour was just waiting for the dragon prince and princess.
"The imperial family is the true Son of Heaven, and the children of the imperial family must also be dragon sons and daughters!"
Born amidst rain, no problem!
"Yes! No problem!"
As the crowd around them grew larger, Tea Customer A became even more excited.
"Actually, all of this is thanks to our Emperor."
Think about it! The treacherous officials were dealt with by His Majesty! The princes and princesses are His Majesty's children.
Our Emperor is the true Son of Heaven.
Do you remember? That day everyone said His Majesty was going to the outskirts to inspect agricultural affairs.
But it was suddenly canceled later.
Later I heard that they went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
I reckon His Majesty went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to discuss matters with the various imperial families of Dayu.
I didn't bring my rain gear, please bring my son and daughter over quickly!
Otherwise, how could the princess and prince, who were originally supposed to be born next month, suddenly arrive a month early?
They've come in a hurry to bring rain to Chongqing!
Everyone thought it made perfect sense.
If everything were a coincidence, then it wouldn't be a coincidence at all.
Why did the empress, who was perfectly healthy, suddenly go into premature labor?
Also, why did the heavy rain hold back for two days, only falling when the princess and prince were born?
There must be a connection between these things.
Therefore, this heavy rain had to be brought by the princess and the prince.
"Our Emperor is truly a dragon!" Tea drinker A respectfully clasped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the palace.
Everyone else agreed.
Yes, this heavenly being is not a real dragon, yet he can summon wind and rain, and dragon sons and daughters come to bring rain. How could he not be a real dragon?
Suddenly, the Spring Festival Gala was filled with praise for Emperor Xiao Wu.
They not only boasted about the present, but also brought up some things about Emperor Xiao Wu when he was the seventh prince, repeating them many times.
In short, it boils down to one central idea.
Emperor Xiao Wu, chosen by Heaven, is blessed by Heaven for the Great Yu Kingdom...
Shangguan Jin looked at the crowd who, like her, were sticking their heads out of the window and listening with great interest.
Never mind, she should go back to the private room and have some tea!
If you listen any longer, these people will probably become even more specific.
For example, Emperor Xiao Wu stood in the Imperial Ancestral Temple and uttered two words: "Rain, come!"
Then it started raining...
