Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

Qianzhong Temple is located on Yanling Mountain in the southern suburbs of Wangjing City. At the foot of the mountain, you can see the winding Wangjiang River, looking across the river from Wangjing City in the distance.

The reason why it is called Qianzhong Temple is because the scriptures in the temple are all engraved on the bells. At first, they were stone bells, some big and some small. The largest one requires several people to hug it. It cannot ring when struck, but it can be engraved. Many scriptures.Later, it gradually evolved into bronze, iron, and gold-plated ones... which could both be engraved with scriptures and ring.In the beginning, the number of bells in the temple was naturally less than a thousand, but now, it is probably far more than that.

Accompanying An Qian, she laid incense in front of the Buddha, offered money for sesame oil, asked for a lucky draw, and very piously asked for a small silver prayer bell. The look on An Qian's face became calmer.

But when she turned around and saw the smiling face of Fu Ruixuan not far away, her face that finally became clear suddenly became clouded again. An Qian turned around and walked up the mountain holding the hem of her skirt.

Li Fengjiao gave Fu Ruixuan a helpless look, and followed Mingyi in silence.

There is Qianyun Pavilion on the top of the mountain, with a wide view and a wide view. From a distance, you can have a panoramic view of Wangjiang at the foot of the mountain and Wangjing City on the other side of the river.

"Aqiang, you have been angry with your cousin for a few days now. How long do you plan to stay angry? In the final analysis, this matter is not something that my cousin can control. It is all Uncle Huang's wish. My cousin has a very good temper. I have been working as a lowly boy these past few days. I heard that you were coming to Qianzhong Temple to offer incense, so I came to escort you without saying a word. He is now being suppressed by the emperor's uncle to watch the government. I'm afraid he will be scolded by the emperor's uncle when he goes back." Li Fengjiao also said There was one sentence that was not said. No matter how you say it, Fu Ruixuan is the crown prince of a country. Even an ordinary man cannot bear such a cold face for so long.

An Qian glared at Li Fengjiao, but didn't say anything, but her face became even more depressed.She has a calm temperament, and she is not a willful person. This time, she was really sad. "I'd rather he wasn't the prince, so he wouldn't have these troublesome things..."

"But he is!" Mingyi responded with a faint smile, looking at An Qian with tearful eyes, she felt her heart soften again, and sighed softly, "Your Majesty only has the prince at his knees. Naturally, I care about him and feel sorry for him, and I may not want him to get what he wants. And based on how much your Majesty values ​​the prince, if the prince can let your majesty see his growth and responsibility, he will definitely be very happy. When the time comes, the prince can ask for anything he wants. Much easier.”

An Qian suddenly turned to look at her, "What can you do?"

"I am a pure harem woman, how can I do anything? I just told you yesterday. After all, I am worried about the weather. I am afraid that the crops in the fields will not be harvested and the people will suffer..." Mingyi sighed deeply, "Also, if the rain falls quickly, let alone other places, we don't know whether the embankment of Wangjiang River is strong or not, and whether the location of the official warehouse is safe..."

Looking up, she saw An Qian's eyes were bright, but she was looking at her with some inquiring eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly said, "I'm just talking nonsense. Just listen to it, but you can't take it seriously." .”

I don't know if An Qian took it seriously, but she didn't say anything more.

However, Li Fengjiao raised her head and looked at the blue sky above her head, with no clouds in sight. Her slender eyebrows raised slightly, "Today...will it really rain?"

Mingyi also looked up and said, "I can't say for sure, but it will always rain!" She couldn't remember exactly when it started to rain, but she remembered that once it started raining, it didn't stop for a long time. Rivers in many places south of Wangjing were overflowing. In addition, there was insufficient rain in the first half of the year. There was a severe drought in many places. The crops withered and there was no harvest. However, the imperial government did not keep up with the relief efforts. Many people suffered from starvation and died. People are dying of hunger.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was already weak, and its national power has declined since then.This year was a disaster year for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it also laid the foundation for the subsequent chaos.

Unfortunately, there is only so much she can do, so she can only do the best she can.

"These sachets are quite unique. I bought three of them, one for each of us." Li Fengjiao was a girl with a good temper. After coming down from Qianyunting, she went to the temple to wander around, and she happened to see a sachet for blessing, and the style was quite good. So chic, I bought three of them, kept one for myself, and gave the other two to An Qian and Mingyi respectively.

"A'Qian can't use this sachet. The spices in it include cinnamon!" Mingyi saw this and snatched the one handed to An Qian without thinking.After finishing speaking, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She raised her head in surprise and saw An Qian and Li Fengjiao looking at her with inexplicable expressions. "How do you know there's cinnamon in this sachet?"

"How do you know I can't touch cinnamon?"

Li Fengjiao and An Qian almost said the same thing, with doubts in their eyes.

Mingyi had already turned away all the thoughts in her mind, and smiled slightly, "I have been learning to identify medicines from the doctor at the medicine shop these days, and my nose has become more refined, but I just said it casually, I don’t know if there is really cinnamon, but it’s always right to be careful. As for A-Qian not being able to touch cinnamon...didn’t you tell me?” The last question touched Li Fengjiao’s face.

Li Fengjiao frowned blankly, "Do I have it?"

"Of course you said it, otherwise how would I know?" Mingyi said matter-of-factly, taking the sachet to her nose and taking a deep sniff, "It should contain cinnamon! However, since it was given by Gillian, take it back and re- You can just change the spices inside." After saying that, he handed the stolen sachet to An Qian's personal maid.

An Qian motioned to the maid to take it, looked deeply at Mingyi, and turned around after a while.

Behind her, Mingyi quietly let out a long sigh of relief. What a careless person!This kind of sachet was also sold in Qianzhong Temple. She thought it was novel for a moment, so she bought two and gave one as a gift to An Qian. Unexpectedly, after a while, An Qian broke out in red rash all over her body. , her mouth and face became red and swollen, which scared her to death.Later I found out that the spices in this sachet contained cinnamon, which was harmful to An Qian and would cause a rash if it came into contact with it. Therefore, she remembered clearly from then on that she must not let An Qian come into contact with cinnamon.

Who would have thought... just because I remember it so vividly, I would be in a daze for a moment and almost cause disaster, but fortunately it was over.

Not long after returning from Qianzhong Temple, the weather changed. The clouds were low and it was oppressively hot. The rain had been brewing for a long time, but it still lingered.Several days later, there were several thunder blasts, and the rain that had been waiting for several months finally came.

When the rain comes, the summer heat is swept away and people feel refreshed. Who knows, once it starts, the pouring rain seems to be endless. It lasts for three days and three nights, with no sign of slowing down.

People's joy a few days ago was gradually overwhelmed by rising worries.Mingyi stood by the window, looking up at the dark sky, as if there was a hole in it, and the rain kept pouring, and her eyebrows were furrowed.

A figure wearing a heavy raincoat penetrated the heavy rain curtain and came into her eyes. Mingyi immediately hurried to the door.

"How's it going?" Fan Shuang had just arrived at the corridor and took off his heavy raincoat and bamboo hat with the help of light rain. He heard a question and turned around to see Mingyi standing by the door.

"Everything is fine in our grain depot and medicine shop. Don't worry, Princess. It's just that the official warehouse and the embankment are under strict security. No one is allowed to pass by. I only asked a few questions after paying for it. It was said that a few days ago, His Highness the Crown Prince After receiving the holy order, I led the people from the Ministry of Works to work on the dam, and I think there will be no danger for the time being."
