Chapter 345 Misery
Then he stood up and said, "Then I will go back. The emperor is busy, you guys should serve him. But it's cold, please tell the emperor to take care of himself."
"Hey, hey, hey, then I'll take you there." Laba said with a smile.
When Laba came back, Lichun scolded him: "You are so wicked. Earthquakes often happen in Shu, but this year's earthquake is just a minor incident..."
"Tsk, look at you. The emperor doesn't want to see him. What can I do? Should I just say that the emperor doesn't want to see him? That would be so hurtful?" Laba said with a smile.
Lichun laughed: "Come on, this guy is also..."
Laba laughed: "It's not the emperor's fault. Sister, if the emperor wanted to say "Bamboo under the moon", if it was Ning Zhaorong, he would have composed a poem. If it was Jing Zhaoyi, he would have said that the bamboo tube rice was fragrant and the tender bamboo shoots were delicious, and they were sent to the emperor the next day. But you said, if it was Empress Zhen Chongyi, she would either make a bamboo cart for the Ninth Prince or say how practical bamboo is and how much the people need it..."
Lichun chuckled: "Go and do your thing!"
Laba Festival is here.
Lichun also thought, yes, there are so many people in the palace, and many of them have given birth to children, but they don’t mention their own children everywhere.
It was this person who always talked to the emperor about the Ninth Prince.
The emperor dotes on the ninth prince, but there's no need to listen to him all the time, right? Are you afraid that the emperor will forget about the ninth prince? It 's so boring. No wonder the emperor doesn't like it.
It was not a shameful thing that Zhen Chongyi went to Taiji Palace and came back without seeing the emperor.
After all, she was not the only one. Many concubines had failed before, so this was nothing.
The situation changed suddenly, catching many people in the harem off guard.
It was sunny in the afternoon, but the wind suddenly blew in the evening.
The leaves that had not fallen yet were blown all over the place, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.
The Sixth Prince showed no fear. He stood on the couch in the outer room and looked at the falling leaves outside through the glass window. He would dub from time to time, making a lot of noise, which was very lively.
The climate in the imperial city is humid, so there isn't much dust when the wind blows, but you still have to keep the doors and windows closed.
Because the wind was too strong, we didn't wait for the canteen to deliver meals in the evening, and we went to the canteen together.
Finally, he returned with the kitchen staff, and brought back Yao Baolin's meals as well.
There are few people like Yao Baolin, so I am extremely grateful.
"I look at the sky and I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily. If it rains heavily in this season, it will be very cold. I'll get some charcoal ready for later." Yuanxiao said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "Okay, but be careful. It's windy like this, and a spark could easily cause an accident."
"Master, rest assured. I will go check the Taiping tank first." If something happens, it can be rescued.
Shen Chuliu nodded and took his son to eat first.
Sure enough, before the mother and daughter finished eating, it started raining outside. The sound of the rain hitting the windows was scary.
It is indeed rare to have such heavy rain in this season.
The wind showed no sign of abating, and the branches of the trees were snapping.
"Tell the servants to close the door early. There's no need to deliver the tableware today. Just put it away in the side hall. There's no need to light the floor lights in the yard. Just make sure to close the doors and windows and don't let anyone do anything in this weather. Those who are on guard in the corridor can't stay there. Go inside. Just be alert." Shen Chuliu said.
Zizhu sighed, "Master, please have dinner with the Sixth Prince first. I will go and take a look. Don't worry."
Shen Chuliu was eating, and when the Sixth Prince had almost finished eating, he curiously returned to the couch in the outer room to look outside.
But tonight we were afraid of the wind blowing out and causing an accident, so we didn’t light the floor lamps. Now there were only lanterns in the hands of the servants, and they were blown away and could not be held at all.
He listened curiously and heard crackling sounds outside.
Soon, Zizhu was heard saying outside: "It's hailing, and it's quite heavy! The servants should protect the flowers and plants first."
Shen Chuliu frowned: "Why bother with the flowers and plants? You are being hit by hail!"
"It's okay, it's okay, master, please don't come out." Zizhu said again.
Shen Chuliu glanced at his son who was extremely curious, and thought that fortunately there was a corridor outside, so even if the hail was big, it would not be able to break the glass.
While I was saying nice things, after a while I heard some noise outside.
Shen Chuliu listened anxiously, and after a while Yu Lou said, "Master, the window on Yao Baolin's side was hit by hail. The window paper was broken."
Yao Baolin's room was a side pavilion, so naturally it wasn't made entirely of glass.
"That's true! See how she is. If she's not okay, come and sleep here with me." Shen Chuliu laughed.
Once again, it was obvious that everything outside was settled.
Zizhu was soaked to the skin like a drowned chicken, and dared not approach her. "It's nothing, it's her outer window that's broken, isn't it all glass inside? She asked me to thank you. But she also left a lot of charcoal, I'm afraid it will be used at night."
Shen Chuliu felt relieved.
Tell Zizhu to go and wash up quickly, otherwise she will catch a cold.
After everyone settled down, they could only hear the wind and rain outside. The hail only fell for a while. The Sixth Prince poked at the several large pieces of hailstones picked up by Yuanxiao in the bowl and asked all kinds of questions curiously. Shen Chuliu patiently explained for a long time.
Seeing that his son was sleepy, he said, "Go back to sleep with the nanny. Ask the nanny to accompany you at night."
"Oh." It was not surprising for the Sixth Prince that he had never slept with his biological mother since he was born.
So he had no objection and was soon taken away by the wet nurse.
There is no need to go out, just go through the door inside.
Shen Chuliu also washed up and went to bed.
Although it was windy and rainy, it was no problem and she slept well.
When I woke up early, I felt the house was warm. It meant the charcoal fire was lit.
"The master has woken up. The Queen has sent a message that there is no need to pay respects early today. It's still raining outside. Fortunately, the wind has died down a lot." Zi Rui said.
Shen Chuliu nodded: "What are you going to eat for breakfast? Ask Yao Baolin to come and eat with us. Ask her people to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to fix the broken window." Shen Chuliu said.
"It's gone. Not only the windows, but a floor lamp was blown out yesterday! The trees here were also damaged. Fortunately, they are well protected. Although they were damaged, they can still be grown back. The peonies you planted this year were almost uprooted. Fortunately, Yulou was smart and found two large jars to cover them directly, so they were protected." Zirui said with a smile.
"Yes, the grape racks have collapsed, but fortunately they are not too big, so they can be fine if they are covered. It is still relatively good here, as many palaces are said to be worse." Chi Su said.
"Tsk, it's like this in the palace, I'm afraid it's even worse outside." Shen Chuliu said.
The good buildings in the palace were blown to pieces, and the bad houses outside were probably going to collapse directly? "Not really, have you forgotten when we were little we joked that the wind was blowing out the fragrance of the palace's cosmetics? The palace is the wind outlet of the imperial city, so once it blows past and enters the city, it will be just like that." Zi Rui said.
