Shortly after Changsun Wuji resigned, Li Shimin finally issued an order to marry his sixth daughter, Princess Yuzhang, to Changsun Wuji's eldest son Changsun Chong. Of course, the two parties are too young now, so they can only get engaged and get married when they become adults.

After hearing the above news, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart. His premonition was indeed fulfilled. Although he didn't know how Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin communicated, Li Zhi did not become Changsun Wuji's daughter-in-law like in history. In other words, due to Li Xiu's influence, Li Zhi had lost her original marriage.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little guilty because he didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing for Lizhi? Although it was best for her to get married for Lizhi's body, there are many things that may be more important than life in a person's life, such as love, children, etc.

But it is too late to think about this now. Princess Yuzhang is Lizhi's sister. Her mother died of dysfunction, so she has been raised by Empress Changsun. She is about the same age as Lizhi. Now she can replace Lizhi and marry her to the Changsun family. It is an unchangeable fact. Li Xiu's only one who can comfort herself is probably only one step at a time. Perhaps Lizhi will meet a better person in the future.

Because of the beauty, Li Xiu was in a bad mood. Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang quickly discovered his abnormality. He could not explain it. He could only say that due to the drought, he was in a bad mood. Princess Pingyang and the others had no doubt about this. In fact, the drought was getting worse and worse. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty was looking forward to it raining, but now it was already autumn, but it had never even had a happy rain.

After breakfast that day, Li Xiu came to the Ministry of Agriculture to sit for a while. Yang Dui and Xu Jingzong were able to take on the main brigade of the Ministry of Agriculture. Moreover, due to the drought, no new crops were planted in the second half of the year. Because there was no water to irrigate, it would not grow even after planting them. This also made the Ministry of Agriculture nothing big, and Li Xiu was still free.

After sitting in the Ministry of Agriculture for a while, Li Xiu felt bored and left the Ministry of Agriculture. There were still no people in the market outside, and even Li Xiu’s favorite Hucai stall was not set up. This made him feel a little regretful. He came to Huangqu alone, thinking about his thoughts while walking.

However, what Li Xiu didn't expect was that just as he had walked far, he suddenly saw someone coming towards him. When he saw the other party, he couldn't help but shouted in surprise: "Brother Chunfeng, why are you here?"

I saw a man coming to me was more than seven feet tall and handsome. It was Li Chunfeng who wrote "Li Gongzi's Arithmetic" for Li Xiu before. At that time, Li Chunfeng was just a military officer in the Qin Palace. However, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Li Chunfeng was also named the Grand Historian and was in charge of the Grand Historian Bureau. He can be said to have the full use of his talents.

Li Chunfeng didn't expect to meet Li Xiu, and he looked surprised and said, "This is such a coincidence. I was about to visit a friend. When I passed by Huangqu, I wanted to check the water love here, but I didn't expect to meet the prince-consort!"

"Haha~, it's really a coincidence. I was sitting in the Ministry of Agriculture just now, so I came to the Huangqu to take a walk. But Brother Chunfeng, you probably can't see any water in this Huangqu. The whole Huangqu has already dried up!" Li Xiu laughed at first, but at the end of the conversation, a look of gloom appeared on his face.

There was a thin stream of water at the bottom of the yellow canal before, but now it was completely dry. Before the river dries up, the people around him caught all the remaining fish in the river and ate them. In fact, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not like to eat fish, mainly because they were fishy and thorny. However, the natural disasters are so serious now that even the tenants at Li Xiu's family were worried about lack of food, so as long as they could eat, they would not be wasted.

"It's not just the Yellow Canal, but the situation of Longshou Canal and Yong'an Canal is similar. Now the entire Chang'an City can only be solved by well water. The same is true in other areas of Guanzhong, but I have good news here!" Li Chunfeng sighed at first, but at the end, his tone became much more relaxed.

"Oh? What good news? Is it going to rain?" Li Xiu couldn't help but lit up when he heard Li Chunfeng's words and asked. The other party was the Grand Historian. He was responsible for the matter of observing the sky. Sometimes he even had to do some superstitious activities such as praying for rain. So when Li Chunfeng said there was good news, Li Xiu immediately thought of it raining.

"It's almost the same, but I'm not sure now, so I have to visit a friend. We need to make some calculations at that time!" Li Chunfeng replied with a smile again. The Taishi Bureau was very busy during this period. After all, it doesn't rain, and the Taishi Bureau also has the responsibility to be unable to escape.

"Friend? Are you going to visit Master Yuan Tiangang?" When Li Chunfeng heard that he wanted someone to help, Yuan Tiangang immediately flashed through Li Xiu's mind. After all, the only charlatan that could be compared with Li Chunfeng in the early Tang Dynasty was probably Yuan Tiangang.

"Yes, does the prince consort also know Brother Yuan?" Li Chunfeng also showed a surprised expression when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"I have met twice, and he lives in Master Sun's Medicine Temple. It just so happened that I had nothing to do. Why not go with Brother Chunfeng!" Li Xiu said enthusiastically immediately. After seeing Yuan Tiangang's ability, he did not dare to underestimate these myths. As for observing the heavenly weather, it was originally a kind of science. Although it was different from the weather forecasts in later generations, it also had the same effect.

"It turns out that the prince consort has been to Yaoguan. That's great. I just heard that Brother Yuan lives in Yaoguan, but I don't know the specific location of Yaoguan, but I didn't expect that it was the place where Taoist Sun lives!" Li Chunfeng immediately said happily when he heard that Li Xiu was going to take him with him.

Li Xiu was also anxious to know when it would rain, so he led two horses. He and Li Chunfeng came to the door of Yaoguan, but there was no news. He went directly to the room where Sun Simiao lived, but Li Xiu did not expect that Sun Simiao and Yuan Tiangang were not here.

"Where have Taoist Master Sun and Taoist Master Yuan gone?" Li Xiu saw that the person was gone, so he hurriedly pulled a small Taoist boy next to him and asked.

"The two Taoist priests have gone to the back mountain!" The Taoist boy replied immediately.

When Li Xiu heard this, he immediately took Li Chunfeng to the back mountain. Yaoguan was originally built by his family, so he was very familiar with the terrain here. In a short while, they saw Yuan Tiangang standing on a big rock, as if observing something, while Sun Simiao stood not far away and did not know what he was doing.
