Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 48 Thunderstorm
"Empress Mother, Erchen just treats Han'er as a younger sister, and has no other intentions." Jin Yantang frowned slightly as he said.

The queen mother waved to Jin Yantang, signaling him to come and talk.

Nanny Chen moved a chair and placed it in front of the queen mother, and after Jin Yantang sat down, the queen mother held his hand and said, "Tang'er, you can't be grateful if you don't repay your kindness. Our Jin family has been loyal and courageous for generations. It wasn't for Han'er who defended you many times in front of the late emperor, how could you survive till now?"

Jin Yantang's eyes dimmed, he lowered his head slightly to listen, and did not speak.

The queen mother sighed, and said: "You saw it today, the scar on Han'er's face was left when she blocked the sword for you back then! Also, she used to be a pretty girl, but now she is running around outside. After sleeping in the open for several years, what has the complexion on your face changed? Have you seen it, huh?"

Speaking of the excitement, the Queen Mother couldn't help but rubbed the center of her brows: "Aijia, it's hurting again!"

Jin Yantang's expression remained unchanged, he brought her a cup of ginseng tea, and said: "Then according to what the mother said, what should I do?"

The queen mother paused, then smiled at Jin Yantang, and said: "The Ai family has an idea, but I have to ask Han'er first..."

With that said, the queen mother approached Jin Yantang's ear and told him about her plan.

As the night passed, the evening wind picked up suddenly, and the next day, it rained heavily in the palace.

The rain came fiercely, and the flowers, plants and trees in the palace were washed by the rain, and they looked even more delicate and charming, and the emerald green color on the leaves seemed to be dripping out.

Maoshi, Xianya Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up, we still have to go to the Kun Ning Palace and the Compassion Ning Palace to pay their respects!"

While still asleep, Shang Kelan was awakened by Gardenia.

She reluctantly got up from the bed, looking at the closed window, Shang Kelan couldn't help asking: "Why don't you open the window?"

Zhi Zi fetched hot water for her to wipe her face, and at the same time said to her, "Mother, it's raining outside. There was a thunderstorm in the middle of the night yesterday. It has been raining until now, and the rain has only slightly eased."

The sound of the rain outside is "crackling", which is not small when you hear it.

Shang Kelan couldn't help getting up and came to the window, opened the window and said, "Is it raining?"

"Boom!"

As soon as the window was opened, a bolt of lightning flashed across the crooked and gloomy sky.

"ah!"

Shang Kelan screamed and quickly closed the window. In modern times, she was afraid of thunder. Now that she is here, Shang Kelan still has the same temperament.

Zhi Zi hurriedly walked over, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this servant just said to close the window so that you won't be able to see it, so you insist on opening it!"

While talking, Zhizi took clothes for her to put on, and put a light pink cape on her.

Shang Kelan smiled wryly and said, "Zhizi, can I not pay my respects to the Queen and Queen Mother?"

Zhi Zi shook her head and said: "No, empress, this is the rule in the palace, we can't break the rule."

At this time, Shang Kelan couldn't help sighing: It would be great if Jin Yantang was here, and if I told him, I wouldn't have to brave the thunderstorm to pay my respects.

Suddenly, Wen Chun opened the curtain and came in and said, "Your Majesty, just now the empresses of the Kunning Palace and the Compassionate Ning Palace sent people to say that it was a stormy day today, so I will waive the birthday invitations for all the empresses. It’s still like this scene, and there is no need to go to Xingchen to invite him.”

Immediately, as if she had been pardoned, Shang Kelan lay back on the bed and said happily: "The empress dowager is wise, the empress empress is wise!"

Saying that, Shang Kelan embraced the pillow and closed her eyes comfortably.

Seeing her like this, Zhi Zi smiled lazily like a sleepy kitten, and said: "Then you lie down for a while, and this servant will prepare meals for you."

After saying that, Zhi Zi turned around and went out, Wen Chun also followed behind her.

But as soon as they left, Shang Kelan sat up from the bed.

Under the candlelight, her expression was gloomy, she got up and went to the window, Shang Kelan opened the window again.

The current Mao time is about five o'clock in the morning in modern times, the sky is gloomy and gloomy, and there are occasional lightning flashes.

In the blink of an eye, and outside the window, she could clearly see the scene in the courtyard of Xianya Palace.

The rainwater accumulated on the brick surface, and the blown branches were all over the yard. A few palace maids wore coir raincoats and bamboo hats, and swept the fallen leaves on the ground with brooms to keep the ground clean.

The accumulation of water in the palace is still like this, judging from the sky, there are many places outside the palace that are flooded, right?
The wind outside the window howled into the house, carrying a feeling of coldness.

Shang Kelan couldn't help sighing, and said: "The book is really accurate, this world really is 'prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer'."

Disasters occurred frequently in the summer of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially this summer.

When the summer just started, she noticed that the weather was extremely hot and stuffy, and she always felt that something big happened this summer.

Recently, I heard that Jin Yantang's days in the harem are getting fewer and fewer. I wonder if he has encountered some difficult problems in the court?

Thinking about it, Shang Kelan couldn't help but smiled bitterly, shook his head and scolded: "You, you, what time is it, you still think about him, that man is the emperor of a country, he has his own chest, and everything can be done in his hands." It's easy to solve, why am I worrying so much?"

After talking to himself, Shang Kelan closed the window, lifted the curtain and said to Wan Dong who was guarding the door: "Wan Dong, go and ask the maidservants in the courtyard to sweep after the rain stops, so as not to get sick .”

Hearing this, Wan Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your servant obeys!"

After saying that, she went out to inform the maidservants.

Seeing Wan Dong's expression, Shang Kelan couldn't help smiling: Wan Dong is also very worried about those palace maids this time, right?
At the same time, inside the Golden Luan Hall.

The civil and military officials each wore court uniforms, knelt down to Jin Yantang in two rows and saluted: "My ministers see Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live, Long live!"

"Wow!"

Jin Yantang threw down a note, and said with a sneer: "Master Chen, come out and explain to me, how does your household department do things? Where did you go for the relief of the money from the treasury? Why did the people in the south and Shu Complaints abound? And uprising under the banner of overthrowing the government!"

The world has just stabilized, and the Great Zhou Dynasty under the governance of Jin Yantang has seen a slight improvement in the prosperity of the country and the people's peace. Unexpectedly, many disasters occurred this summer, especially the drought and flood in Shu and the south!
The booklet was thrown in front of the Hubu Shangshu, and the Hubu Shangshu immediately went limp, knelt on the ground trembling and bowed and said: "My minister... I really don't know why the disaster money has not been sent to the victims. hand..."

"You do not know?"

Jin Yantang looked at her condescendingly, and slowly spit out four words, the coldness in his eyes became a bit more serious.

In the Golden Luan Hall, all the ministers were silent, and no one dared to speak.

At this time, a minister in a crimson robe embroidered with crane inscriptions and a white jade crown stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing is to quell public anger and appease people's hearts by disaster relief, especially the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The responsibility of the Ministry is the most important, and the people are the foundation of governing the country, and talents should be reused."

"The Ministry of Industry should also strengthen its construction. The reason why the floods in the south are so severe is because the Ministry of Industry was not fully constructed during the previous dynasty!"
