After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 163
Hearing this, everyone who was about to leave looked outside.

I saw that the sky was still clear just now, and suddenly there were a few dark clouds.

Those dark clouds swarmed over the capital like a fair.

And the dark clouds are getting thicker and thicker, gradually turning into a dense blackness.

Darkness enveloped the entire capital city!

"Boom!"

A deafening thunder sounded in the sky.

Then a brilliant bolt of lightning pierced the sky, adding a layer of brilliance to the dark sky.

"clatter."

"Clap."

"Crash."

At first, it was a grain of light rain, then it was a bean-sized rain string, and finally the torrential rain formed a rain curtain in the air, moistening the long-drought land.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Jianyuan couldn't sit still.

He walked directly to His Highness, stood at the door and looked at the entire imperial city.

Princes and ministers also stood behind Emperor Jianyuan, and some ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "It's raining, God finally rained."

"I never thought Mr. Jiang could really ask for rain, it's amazing!"

"Master Jiang is truly a master."

Kang Wang looked at the pouring rain outside, and his face was not very good. This Jiang Chongjin is still a little capable, which really made him succeed in praying for rain.

Compared with King Kang, King Huai's complexion is not much better. In recent years, his father has been seeking immortality, and he believes in metaphysics. Jiang Chongjin's metaphysics is profound, and his future is boundless.

Jiang Shishi stood in the crowd, looking at the rain outside the hall.

This is the wisdom of the ancients, and it is the artificial rainfall that the ancients figured out.

She had read the ancient book "Shui Jing Zhu".

It records in detail the rain praying activities of the common people, but it is roughly the same as Jiang Chongjin's rain praying ceremony.

Precipitation requires condensation nuclei and sufficient saturated water vapor, and the cliff is a relatively closed terrain.

Jiang Chongjin asked people to burn wood on the cliff of the palace, causing the air to rise to form an updraft, the temperature to drop, and the water vapor to reach saturation easily, thus forming precipitation.

Although this ritual of praying for rain has a certain mystical nature, it also contains certain scientific principles.

The ancients may not know the principle of precipitation formation, but they understand the truth that "clouds make rain, and dew turns into frost".

Some people in later generations conjectured in their research that in the rain-seeking ceremony, the performer holds a sword and a gossip mirror and makes various strange movements in a certain direction of the sky, which is actually a way to stimulate the "water-bearing clouds" to generate friction.

And when praying for rain, ask the strong man to beat the gongs and drums, also to make the sound waves stimulate the clouds to produce friction, and the light and sound waves stimulate the clouds to generate electricity, and the positive and negative charges generate water.
If this is the case, it is no wonder that Jiang Chongjin said before that there was something wrong with the sword and the gossip mirror, and the rain was unsuccessful.

It rained heavily, and Emperor Jianyuan was ecstatic on his face.

When Jiang Chongjin returned to the hall again, Emperor Jianyuan directly rewarded Jiang Chongjin with a three-entry house in Beijing.

After rewarding Jiang Chongjin, Emperor Jianyuan announced the successful conclusion of the system examination, dismissed everyone, and left the Hall of Preservation and Harmony first.

As for the results of the system examination, it depends on the results of the pre-examination, court examination, and palace examination, and it will take three days for the results to be released.

After Emperor Jianyuan left, the princes and ministers also left the palace in the rain.

After the exam, Jiang Shishi greeted the prince and went to Jiang Chongjin, "Big brother, the emperor rewarded you with a house, will you move to the new house?"

"I will move in if I choose a good day in the next few days." Jiang Chongjin bought an ordinary small courtyard before, and originally planned to live with his wife and children.

But recently Jiang's father and stepmother's family also came to the capital, and the whole family squeezed into a small courtyard, which was really compact.

Now the emperor rewarded him with a three-entry house, so that the whole family could live more comfortably.

Jiang Shishi: "By the way, you have been in the capital for so long, have your sister-in-law, nephew and niece come to the capital?"

Jiang Chongjin nodded, "Well, they arrived last month."

Jiang Shishi: "After choosing the auspicious date for this housewarming, I asked Huang Dechang, who is next to the prince, to tell me that if possible, I would like to visit my sister-in-law and the others."

However, this matter requires the consent of the prince.

If the crown prince disagrees, he can only ask someone to send the housewarming gift out of the palace for her.

"." Jiang Chongjin paused for a moment before saying, "Father and the Feng family have also come to the capital."

Xiaoshi didn't know that Feng's family was here, if she knew, she probably wouldn't have gone.

"." This reminded Jiang Shishi that the Seventh Prince had said this in a letter.

It's just that I didn't expect that Kang Wang's party and the Jiang family moved so quickly, and the whole family of the Jiang family had already arrived in the capital.

According to this, before the Seventh Prince leaked the secret, Kang Wang's party had already arranged for the Jiang family to leave for the capital.

Jiang Shishi said nonchalantly: "I'm here to see my sister-in-law, and my nephew and niece. I can't even lose my relatives because of them."

At the same time, Jiang Shishi sympathized with Jiang Chongjin.

As the daughter of Jiang's family, although she can't get used to Jiang's father and Feng's family, she lives in the East Palace and can see without seeing.

But Jiang Chongjin was different. As a son, he couldn't ignore Jiang's father.

Because the Dongliang Kingdom pays attention to filial piety, if some officials are not filial, it will seriously affect their official career.

The siblings chatted for a while, and Jiang Chongjin was about to leave the palace.

On the side, Xue Liangdi and Xue Youcai reluctantly said goodbye.

It was raining heavily, so the prince didn't go to the Summer Resort, and went directly to the East Palace by chariot.

Jiang Shishi and Xue Liangdi didn't have a chariot, so they had to walk back to the East Palace together, and the maids next to them held umbrellas for them.

Pei Xuanling rode on the chariot, looked at the rain curtain in front of him, and asked calmly: "At first, when Jiang Chongjin begged for rain, he said that there was something wrong with the sword and the gossip mirror, but someone tampered with it?"

Huang Dechang: "According to Jiang Chongjin, the sword and the gossip mirror should have been made of metal, but they were replaced with pure wood."

Pei Xuanling: "Do you know who did it?"

"It was a palace lady who said she accidentally made a mistake." Huang Dechang said in a low voice, "But the servant checked and found out that the palace lady was the servant girl next to Concubine Li."

Pei Xuanling: "." Concubine Li is the biological mother of King Huai, so it seems that this matter has something to do with King Mu's party.

**
In the next few days, the capital, including several surrounding areas, continued to rain.

The weather, which was originally hot, is gradually cooling down.

The prince returned to the East Palace with his concubines.

Three days later, the admission results of the "Xuan Jing Yin Yang Division" were released.

The system exam selection was very strict, out of the [-] students, only eight were admitted.

These eight people were employed in the Ministry of Rites, Sitianjian and other yamen respectively.

Jiang Chongjin was also admitted, and he was still the fourth-rank junior prisoner Sitian.

Among the admitted people, his position is relatively high.

At the end of July, Jiang Chongjin found Huang Dechang in the Ministry of Rites and asked him to help tell Jiang Shishi that the Jiang family moved on the sixth day of August.

After Pei Xuanling learned of this, he planned to go to Shiyue Pavilion at night.

However, after returning to the East Palace, he did not go directly to Shiyue Pavilion.

Instead, they went to bathe, eat, and review official documents in the front yard.

That night, Jiang Shishi had dinner, did some exercise, and then went to take a bath.

After bathing, she sat in front of the dressing table, and Chun Xing stood behind her, drying her hair with a towel.

Jiang Shishi tidied up the dressing table by the way, tidying up the rouge and gouache on the table.

Because the things on the table were too full, a box of rouge fell on the ground accidentally.

"Bang!"

Immediately, the rouge box made of ceramics was smashed in half.

The rouge powder inside was also broken, and a lot of powder fell on the ground.

Chun Xing: "Maidservant, call someone to come in and clean it?"

"Wait a minute." Jiang Shishi stared at the bottom of the rouge box, and actually vaguely saw the picture.

Bending down to pick up the powder box on the ground, Jiang Shishi stared at the bottom of the box carefully. It was really a picture, and it seemed to be a figure painting.

But the set of powder box artwork she designed does not have these.

This reminded her of what the Seventh Prince had said, that the rouge box would be slightly modified, could it be this?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shishi found a silver hairpin from the jewelry box, and planned to use the silver hairpin to pry out all the rouge powder inside to see what patterns were underneath.

The rouge box was broken into two pieces, and she pried the upper piece first, revealing a green tree.

Under the tree is a woman's face, and then a man's face.

The other piece is a mess, with arms and legs.

When Jiang Shishi put the two pieces together, she realized that the painting was a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and there was no fabric on their bodies. The key point was that the two were still embracing each other.

"Oh my god, why does this rouge box still have these pictures? Aren't these...the pictures on the bottom of the box when a woman gets married?" Chun Xing turned her back in shame, and wiped Jiang Shishi's hair.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shishi disassembled all the rouge boxes sent by the Seventh Prince, and dug out all the rouge and gouache inside.

Sure enough, there are pictures of characters at the bottom of each box, and they are different.

At this moment, Jiang Shishi was very angry with the Seventh Prince.

She said why she hadn't found any traces of the seventh prince changing the rouge box. It turned out that there was something hidden at the bottom of the box!
If the rouge box hadn't accidentally dropped on the ground, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

This Seventh Prince really played the money-making tricks of ancient capital clearly.

She was already cautious enough, but it turned out to be impossible to guard against!
No, she has to find a time for the Seventh Prince to remove these patterns.

"What are you looking at, so engrossed that you don't even know that you are alone?"

Just when Jiang Shishi was thinking about removing these patterns, the prince came in at some point.

Jiang Shishi was startled by the picture in the rouge box, but now the prince suddenly appeared, which was a double shock to her.

She didn't even have time to salute, and hurriedly put those rouge boxes into the drawer.

Then, she managed to squeeze out an unnatural smile, and saluted the prince, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

At first, when the prince came to her place, he would sing newspapers.

Later, I didn't know what was going on, and I disappeared every time.

Not only was Huang Dechang not allowed to sing the newspaper, even the new servants in her yard were not allowed to sing the newspaper every time the prince came back.

"." Pei Xuanling helped the woman up, and his eyes fell on the woman's slightly nervous face.

In his impression, Jiang Liangdi was always calm, and she was rarely so nervous.

When he thought of the way the woman stared at the dressing table in dismay when he entered the room, and the scene when the woman hid things in the drawer in a panic, he felt something was wrong.

Pei Xuanling lowered his head, his eyes fell on the drawer, "What did you hide in the drawer just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just some broken rouge boxes, and I feel a little distressed for a while." Jiang Shishi explained with a guilty conscience, and finally said coquettishly.

The woman's voice was waxy, with a bit of coquettishness, which she didn't usually have.

Pei Xuanling felt that the woman was a little abnormal tonight, so he didn't listen to her explanation at all, and raised his hand to open the drawer.

Suddenly, a pile of messy rouge boxes appeared in front of his eyes!
