Chapter 789 Volume Two 308 (5 more)
The emperor finally returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the middle of the night.

The empress told Huichun to listen to the movement outside, and when the emperor came back, she quickly reported it to her.

Huichun finally came back to report, the queen raised her eyes and looked at the big western clock, it was already past midnight.

The Queen sighed and lay down.

Huichun knew that the empress wanted to wait for the emperor to come and see, so Huichun had no choice but to say: "... Listen to the emperor's tone, I have to go to the study to prepare to pray for rain."

Rain, every spring is a major event for the emperor.It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and that rain is related to the moisture content of the fields and the harvest of the year, and it is naturally related to the vitality and hearts of the people.

Therefore, every spring, praying for rain is a major event for the emperor to perform.

It's March this year, and there is not much rain in the sky, anyone can tell that despite the good news of his son-in-law, the emperor is still very worried.

Under such circumstances, Concubine Chun saw the opportunity to regain her favor.Then she brought out the story of the sixth prince Yongrong who solved the severe drought in the eighth year of Qianlong, and added the new allusion of the bergamot princess, so she often asked to bring the sixth prince and the fourth princess to accompany the emperor on the The temple in the palace burns incense and kneels down to worship.

The more the queen thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she couldn't help asking: "Nianchun, does Qin Tianjian have any news?"

Nian Chun hurriedly replied: "Master, the news from Qin Tianjian is not yet accurate, but..."

The queen nodded: "You say."

Nian Chun hurriedly said: "Master, the slave's father and brother are all working in the flower house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These years, they have taken care of the flowers and plants in various gardens, and they are very experienced in dealing with the moisture content of the soil. I heard from Ama and my brothers that although this year the sky I saw little rain, but after digging the soil recently, I can already see the bottom is damp."

"And these days, the ants in the West Garden have started to move; the cats in the cat room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs always go to the flower house to eat grass... My Ama said, I am afraid that the god will be beautiful this day. It is going to rain."

The queen narrowed her eyes: "You, Ama, can tell you how long it will rain?"

Nianchun thought for a while: "My Ama said that it's the end of March now, and I can't wait until the beginning of April."

The queen smiled slightly: "It's just right, it's exactly what I want."
.
As soon as April arrived, the sky really had more clouds.

The emperor immediately arranged for Yu Ji (a sacrifice to pray for rain).

Because the eighth day of April is the Buddha Bathing Festival, it is said that this day is the birthday of Sakyamuni. On the day when the Buddha came to the world, the sky rained flowers and the nine dragons spit water.This day coincides with the holy day of Buddha's birthday and the sign of precipitation, so the emperor decided to enter the fasting palace on the eighth day of April.Three days later, that is, on April [-]th, the official prayer for rain was made.

Since the emperor arranged to fast in the fasting palace on this day, to express the most sincere prayers of the emperor to heaven, Qin Tianjian was so busy that the soles of his feet slipped.If it really doesn't rain, wouldn't it be difficult for the emperor to ask for permission from heaven?Therefore, the officials of the Qin Tianjian must make sure that it will rain on this day; at least some dark clouds will be raised.

Therefore, the queen has already received the news in the Hall of Mental Cultivation: On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, there will be more than [-]% rain.At least there will be some rain clouds.

The queen smiled with satisfaction, took a deep breath, put her hand on her stomach, and patted it lightly.

"Boy, you have to prepare together with Er Niang."
.
On the eighth day of April, the entire Forbidden City was still asleep, and before the emperor officially entered the fasting palace, the empress gave birth.
