Not only the emperor wanted to see the excitement, but also the civil and military officials.

King Jingnan didn't know what stimulation he received recently, and his temperament changed drastically. He used to be calm and decisive, but now, he is still decisive. The word calm seems to be far away from him. First, he was slapped by Princess Jingnan, and the slap mark was

He went out, and now he was even more desperate, heading towards the gate of his own palace.

They had been officials in the same dynasty as King Jingnan for many years, some even for more than ten years. They had never thought that King Jingnan was such a person. Some ministers even suspected that King Jingnan had been impersonated by someone in disguise.

Seeing the expression on King Jingnan's face, "How could I do such a stupid thing?", the emperor sat on the dragon throne, and his face almost collapsed several times, and his cheeks hurt from laughing.

But soon, the emperor could no longer laugh. News came from the northwest. On that day, he led hundreds of officials to pray for rain, but no rain fell in the northwest.

The lack of rain means that the drought in the northwest has not only not improved, but has become more serious.

In the next few days, news came from Northwest every day:

The next day, it didn't rain.

On the third day, it didn't rain.

...

On the seventh day, it didn't rain.

If offering sacrifices to the sky was effective, there would have been heavy rain on that day to save the people from fire and water. If it didn't rain for seven days, it was clear that praying for rain did not work.

The emperor thought of kneeling on the altar with his officials and praying for God's mercy. When he thought about it, his knees still hurt. The queen and the concubine also suffered from heatstroke and have not fully recovered yet.

As a result, God didn't give me any face.

He won't let a drop of rain fall!

The emperor was very angry.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Concubine Xia was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, with burning anger in her eyes.

In the past few days, the emperor had not come to see her. He stayed at Concubine Qin Xian's place every day. She had a fight with the Crown Princess of Jingnan, but she did not expect that Concubine Qin Xian got such a huge advantage in the end.

But the top priority right now is her face. These days, pearl powder is applied to her face for free, and her skin has not returned to its former whiteness. There is also a hard pimple on the left side of her face. It doesn't hurt, but when she touches her diaphragm.

The medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor was used for two days, but it had no effect at all.

This face is her biggest reliance, but it is not getting better. Concubine Xia's temper is getting more and more violent. The maids and eunuchs in Zhaoyang Palace are uneasy. What they are most afraid of now is Concubine Xia looking in the mirror.

Concubine Xia Guifei stared at her face in the bronze mirror. She was so angry that the things on the dressing table were thrown to the ground for countless times and rolled to the feet of the palace maid who came in quickly. The palace maid was frightened.

, knelt down quickly and said, "Mom, please calm down. I have something to report to you."

"explain."

The palace maid stood up and said shakily, "It hasn't rained yet in the northwest."

The time has come.

Concubine Xia's cold expression softened a bit, and the palace maid continued, "Dong Guo of Song has received permission from the emperor to visit Empress Song."

The smile on Concubine Xia's face deepened, "I haven't gone to pay my respects to the queen in so many days, so it's time to go."

On this day, the sky was clear and cloudless, with occasional birds flying overhead.

In the small courtyard in the north of the city, Su Tang was teaching the maids and boys how to make fragrant dew.

The people Xie Boting found were not only nimble in their hands and feet, but also had strong comprehension skills. They could teach them almost once. Of course, the process of refining fragrance dew is not difficult.

However, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Su Tang still came for three days in a row. Almost everyone got started, and the extracted fragrance was also very pure. Su Tang was very satisfied and there was no need to come tomorrow.

Su Tang looked at the cleaned gardenias on the shelf. Outside, Banxia came in with an almanac and said, "Prince Princess, I've got the almanac you asked for."

Su Tang took the almanac from Banxia's hand, flipped through it, and then left the house.

These days, many bottles of fragrant dew have been refined, and it is time for her to open a shop in the palace. The incense shop is also ready, Xie Boting has proposed the words, and the plaque is also ready.

All we have to do is pick a good and auspicious day to open the shop.
