Song Ci was expected to be right. As the weather became hotter and hotter, the earth was like a steamer. It did not rain for a month in many places in the north. Some people said that the emperor was tyrannical and punished by God, which led to no rainfall.

It can be said that it does not rain in the north, but it rains one after another in the south, especially in June, several heavy rainstorms have washed away some dams, causing some county governments to cause floods and destroy crops in floods.

There was a drought in the north and a flood in the south, which meant that God punished the emperor for his tyranny and became more and more intense. Emperor Chu's face never cleared. Even the most proud and popular Song Xiang was criticized a few words when the emperor was furious, which shows how bad his mood was.

As the disasters were getting worse and worse, Emperor Chu went on several morning instructions every morning to manage water conservancy, dig water wells, release grain to provide disaster relief, appease the people, and even went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for blessings and rain. The lamps in the imperial study were not turned off before the ugly moment, and even the harem was quiet and quiet.

There is no way, as the king has no time to come, the concubine can only sigh and dress up less.

Prime Minister’s Mansion, Chunhui Hall.

Under the open south window in the house, there is a small ice basin. There are also some fresh fruits and fruits in the ice basin. It blows along the wind, which brings a hint of cool air and the sweet fragrance of fruits and fruits, which makes people feel a little dissipated.

Song Ci leaned on the Arhat's bed and ordered Mrs. Song to take the cost reduction in the mansion.

"In the palace, the Empress Dowager and the Empress have already set an example to reduce the cost of concubines in the harem. Our prime minister's mansion also has to do it. I usually eat alone, and if I don't have a hot appetite today, I don't have to prepare too many dishes to avoid wasting it." Song Ci said lightly: "You can do it when opening a porridge shop and serving porridge, so don't leave it in the Shantang."

"Mother, the first one to open a porridge shed this year was the Xiao Prince's Mansion. The Xiao Prince also held a banquet to raise funds. Should we follow them or do it ourselves?"

Song Ci said: "We just make it ourselves. The porridge shop is the same as in previous years. Do you have to make the porridge with silk and donations? I will pay 2,000 taels of money in private. You can also prepare the ones from the prime minister's house and send them to the palace queen together."

"Take it to the Queen?" Gu

"Yes, the queen is the mother of a country, so it is natural to send it to her."

Mrs. Song thought for a while and felt that this statement was reasonable. No matter what, the queen was the queen of the main palace and was respected by the emperor. She was not deposed. No matter who became the crown prince, she would be the queen mother in the future, and this would also be the next supporter for her family.

"It's all my mother's."

Seeing that her face was thin, Song Ci asked, "Did Su'er and the others have not come? Look at your dark circles."

Mrs. Song touched her face, sighed, and said, "It's just that the flood is in the south, and it's very close to Yuhang. I'm not worried about it. Now the disaster is not easy to get through, but I haven't sent a letter for nearly ten days."

Song Ci frowned and comforted: "Don't worry, they are all doing the exams, and they can't make trouble even if there is a disaster. Maybe as you said, the road is blocked, which leads to the disconnection of communication."

"I've accepted your good words."

"You go down and work hard. The people in the mansion will also be more restrained. Don't be too out of line in this situation now."

"yes."
