169 Begging for Rain

Above the heaven.

The former Yunrong Mountain ghost Zhu Huayu has now given up his immortal origin and become the queen of the Shanhai Kingdom on Earth. It is well known in the Heavenly Court.

Everyone's comments were mixed, some felt that they were unfair, while others envied her for finding true love.

Zhu Huayu was imprisoned at the bottom of Yanxia Lake in violation of the rules of heaven. Chen Liang covered and cared for him in every way, and finally let her go of the things she had suffered on her behalf. It was no secret in the Heavenly Court, but no one mentioned it.

First, because Chen Liang has a good popularity, he has made every effort to protect a person, and no one wants to be in trouble with him;

Secondly, because no one dares to be in trouble with the boss of the Heavenly Emperor. Do you still expect the Heavenly Emperor to destroy his relatives for justice because of this?

However, the attitudes of the gods towards Holantai were surprisingly consistent - they fled to the mountains and fields, died for a lifetime, and finally became the king, occupying all the blessings of the right time, place, and people. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is now half a fairy class!

Speaking of the mortal child adopted by Chen Liang, Junjun is a typical stupid child. He taught a few dozen times before he could see a clue. However, Chen Liang showed extraordinary patience to him, as if he had transferred all his patience with his junior sister to Junjun.

What is even more surprising is that Chen Liang actually said that this stupid child has wisdom and said that although he learned knowledgeable things slowly, he could understand it at a glance.

Seeing that Junjun's net worth was rising, Zhou Wan had to please him several times, but the child just didn't like her, and his eyes showed fear and anxiety, so Chen Liang refused to let her approach.

Zhou Wan turned her back and turned her face cold, determined to show the mecolor of this little kid who was not open!

One day, Chen Liang was away, Junjun was playing alone under the crooked tree in the yard, with a bunch of snacks next to it.

When Chen Liang went out, he told him to wait here and his father would come back in a short while and not to go out by himself.

Suddenly, something fell from the sky, and the colorful seemed to be very fun, instantly capturing Junjun's attention.

When I looked closely, it was a ball made of patchwork, and there was a crisp sound of bells inside when it rolled.

He immediately ran over and picked it up... "Wow wow wow--"

It turned out that there was a small mechanism in this ball, and when it touched, there was a place that clamped his fingers like a mouse clip!

Zhou Wan was so happy that the child inside cried and burst into tears. However, he pretended to be passing by and shouted with concern: "Junjun, are you okay? Open the door and let your sister see!"

Fortunately, the clip was not too tight, Junjun struggled for a while and then threw it off.

He ran to open the door and asked for a hug, and at this time he didn't care who was outside the door.

Zhou Wan found that he was standing at the door but could not get in, as if there was an invisible barrier, probably because Chen Liang set up a barrier.

So Zhouwan kept comforting Junjun through the barrier, sang and told him stories, and slowly gained his favor. Of course, he did not forget to constantly instill his name in him, "Sister Zhouwan".

So when Chen Liang came back, he saw this extremely "warm" scene.

Junjun also acted coquettishly and said, "Dad, the ball, the hand clamped, Zhou Wan's sister, accompany Junjun."

Zhou Wan explained "sorry": "I don't know which little fairy gave Junjun the toy with safety hazards "accidentally". You really have to be more careful in the future."

While Chen Liang was grateful, he deeply blamed himself for his dereliction of duty.

Just as Junjun pestered him to go out for fun, Chen Liang looked at Zhou Wan, who looked quite similar to his junior sister: "Go out for a walk together?"

"Okay, okay, I'm fine anyway."

I can't get it if I want it late.

A handsome man and beautiful woman were taking a child to breathe in the beautiful lakeside, which looked like a harmonious picture of a family of three.

But Zhou Wan was thinking in her heart that one day she could really get Chen Liang successfully, the first thing she did was to get rid of the hindrance of the little broken child!

After praising Junjun's cleverness and cuteness against his will, Zhou Wan began to offer a variety of rainbow farts: "Senior, do you think my dark circles are more serious today?"

Chen Liang was walking intently but didn't pay attention to her at all. He then raised his head and looked at her: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yes, yes! There's something wrong with the quilt."

Chen Liang was surprised: "What's wrong with the quilt?"

Zhou Wan looked shy: "The quilt is too light, it can't suppress my missing senior..."

He glanced quietly, Chen Liang didn't know if he didn't understand or heard it, so he continued walking coolly, with no expression on his face.

Seeing that he was not disgusted, Zhou Wan continued: "As long as you think of you, your heart will be beating, there will be no stars in my night sky, and after meeting my seniors, the stars will always be bright every night..."

She said that Junjun, who came out to let the air, was running and jumping in front of her and was very happy.

Just when Zhou Wan was almost moved by herself, Chen Liang suddenly stopped: "It hasn't rained for a long time."

Zhou Wan was confused and thought carefully about what he said about the rainbow fart related to rain? So he casually replied, "It never rains in heaven, it only rains on earth."

"That is to say, the mountains and sea countries have not rained for a long time."

Zhou Wan's face turned black in an instant.

Shanhaiguo is the country where his junior sister Zhu Huayu, who killed Qiandao, is located. They have become the queen of Shanhaiguo. This silly man is still thinking about her. Is it okay to have some prospects?

Zhou Wan had to stop talking, so he had to reluctantly agree: "Yes, it seems that it has not rained much all spring, and it has never been a summer. The river is about to dry up, right?"

Chen Liang thought, as the king, why didn’t this Holantai ask for rain according to the rules?

It turns out that the process of seeking rain during the ancient drought period was as follows:

The king held a rain-seeking ceremony. Since it was a communication with gods, this ceremony was usually mobilized and had a mythological color, such as a special person wearing feathers to dance, a city gate closed the south gate and opened the north gate (because the south is yang and the north is yin), and kneeling to the snake, etc.

But without exception, the king would burn a letter to the Emperor of Heaven during the rain-seeking ceremony, and all the civil and military officials of the court were accompanying him, and respectfully shouting, "Good weather!"

After the Emperor of Heaven reviews the letter, he will hand over this matter to the Emperor Yingyuan Thundershen Puhua Tianzun to handle it, and the Emperor of Heaven will send his subordinates to carry out the process of thunder and rain.

Since the heavens are also relatively bureaucratic, if the kings on earth do not conduct rain-seeking ceremony and burn letters, the Emperor of Heaven cannot send people to interfere in the arrangements of nature.

However, Holantai is like Nezha. He does not believe in heaven or fate, but only believes in his own efforts.

If he married or stole the little fairy from the Heavenly Court, he would be even more reluctant to bow his head to the Heavenly Court and ask for anything, otherwise wouldn’t it be equivalent to admitting his incompetence?

There will be no water shortage in the palace.

It was midsummer, and the earth was burning. The palace people even set up many antique water tanks where the king and queen often visited, filled with clear water, which acted as a humidifier.

Lantai learned about the drought in various parts of the mountains and seas from the memorials, but Yu'er, who was only concerned about the government affairs, noticed it through her own methods.

When she was in Yunrong Mountain, the plants she raised were lush and the flowers were big and beautiful because she "feeded" them rain or mountain snow.

Because it has not rained for a long time in Shanhai Kingdom, she has never been able to receive rain, so the plants raised in the palace are weak. It is conceivable that the land, animals, plants, and people outside the palace are not moistened by rain, life must be very difficult.

Shanhaiwang once summoned his ministers to discuss it many times and thought of a variety of solutions. He even thought of importing drinking water from other countries at a high price, and even thought of purifying seawater into drinking water.

Unfortunately, the technology at that time was not yet developed enough, and I didn’t know how to remove salt through reverse osmosis membranes, nor did I know how to use distillation.

"Young Master, please rain."

In ancient times, it was believed that long-term drought and rain were punished by heaven. As an emperor, he should avoid the main hall and live in a secluded room, dress in plain clothes, eat lightly, blame himself, and pray to heaven and earth.

And these are originally Holantai's daily routine: "Whether it rains is determined by the warm and humid air flow from tropical areas and the cold air from high-altitude areas. Is it useful to seek rain? In history, so many emperors pray for rain, but in the end it was a waste of time?"

"That may be because they are not kind enough, or they are not sincere enough to ask for the rain. You can definitely get it."

Thinking that if it doesn't rain, the people's crops this year may not be harvested, and then there will be countless lives. Other methods will take time. Lantai decided to try it and ask for rain. Even if it is laughed at by Heaven, it will not lose a piece of meat.

Yu'er explained the steps of the Heavenly Court's manual interference in rainfall: "So this rain-seeking ceremony must be there."

"Since the heavenly court can interfere with the rainfall, it must wait for a ceremony that wastes money and wastes money. bureaucrats!"

"The prince, who cares the most about face in the world, can he do anything for the benefit of the people? Just hold a ceremony to give face to the Emperor of Heaven, otherwise he will not be able to interfere."

"It's OK, but it's certainly not as extravagant as other emperors in history."

On the day that was set, Lantai, as the king, took a bath and changed his clothes first.

But unlike other emperors, there were a bunch of maids serving him while bathing, and there was only one person around him, the queen.

Before we met a few times back then, Yu'er accidentally broke into Lantai's bathhouse. Now that I think about it, my ears are a little burning.

However, that time, Yuer expressed her naughty dislike of Gongzi Lantai's bronze jade bathtub, so the bathtub in the palace was very simple.

In the past, Huo Qiguang's luxurious bathhouse had been demolished to be a school, and the area of ​​a bathhouse could accommodate many students.

Usually, Lantai takes a shower by himself, and it can be done in three minutes, and it will be rumbling out in a flash; but if Yu'er is by his side, he wishes he could wash for three hours.

But today doesn't work, there is something big today.

The rain-seeking ceremony began, and it was indeed much shabby than the predecessors. There were no high platforms, sculptures of black fish and white dragons, and singing and dancing.

However, according to Lantai's words, if the Heavenly Court was devoted to goodness, it would not care about what fruits and snacks were paid to the world. They could not eat them anyway. Besides, it would not rain all the time, and the lives of the people were hard. How could they waste food as a monarch?

His little greedy cat has been gnawing carrots for several days.
