Chapter 174 No Food or Drink
Liu Rumei smiled. It was a high-end gift given by the boss. If she didn’t want to treasure it, would she sell it second-hand?
Besides, she really liked the things Tang Mingchen gave her.
"It's late at night, Your Majesty, go to bed early."
After Liu Rumei finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Tang Mingchen grabbed her hand.
Liu Rumei: ...This is a bit ambiguous.
"My Lord, what else?"
"I'll take you to the mountains to hunt tomorrow. I promised you last time, but I never had the chance."
Liu Rumei looked at Tang Mingchen, this guy is really a talented person.
"No, we have other things to do tomorrow, it's important!"
"But important things can be put aside for a while. Don't you want to go catch rabbits?"
Liu Rumei thought about it and decided that she really didn't lack rabbits.
Jinzi would go up the mountain whenever he had nothing to do, and then catch rabbits and bring them down to give to himself.
"I will go up the mountain with the prince after we are done. Also, we must bring Xia Zhu with us. Xia Zhu makes the best barbecue."
Tang Mingchen nodded quickly with a smile in his eyes.
He wasn't rejected, he just had more important things to do.
"Okay, let's go hunting later."
Tang Mingchen watched Liu Rumei return to the room, and couldn't help but lower his head and smile, his whole body exuding a happy aura.
An Yi looked up at the starry sky and realized that the prince was beyond saving.
But I have to say that their future princess is really amazing.
Any of those things today would be sought after by people, even at the risk of their lives.
But their princess came up with three things at once. This is not just amazing, this is too amazing!
An Yi suddenly felt that their prince was very lucky to have met such a great girl like Miss Liu.
If they had Miss Liu's help, their prince would surely be able to survive and achieve hegemony.
Thinking of this, An Yi immediately felt relieved.
The prince is wanted, cared for and loved by someone, and he is very happy with this comfort!
Their prince has to be more motivated and must marry this princess.
……
Early in the morning, the people heard that the emperor was praying with all the civil and military officials.
Pray for blessings? Is there really going to be a severe drought?
Why are the people of Kyoto so anxious?
Of course it was because the well water was getting less and less. Today they discovered that some of the well water in the city had dried up.
That's right, a large portion of the wells are dry!
As a result, everyone had to line up to get water, and some even fought for water.
The people in the city have seen the plight of the victims with their own eyes. If they also want to flee the famine, it will be too late.
The feeling of panic was growing stronger and stronger, and some wealthy families were already making arrangements.
They have money and are not short of carriages and horses, so they might as well set off early while the water in the well has not completely disappeared and everyone is not taking action.
Anyway, I have enough money, so I just want to take the whole family out for a walk. If everything is safe and sound, I will come back.
And not everyone was taken away. Only the master was taken away, and the rest of the maids and servants were left behind.
Not only that, even concubines who are not favored are not brought along, so that they will not be too conspicuous.
But the soldiers guarding the city gates saw it most clearly. In just two days, more than a dozen wealthy merchants had left.
If this continues, they are all scared.
The news spread quickly in the city. Some victims came into the city to buy food and quickly sent the news back.
But no one feels worried, why?
What are you afraid of? There are more than a dozen deep wells in our village. These wells are very deep. I heard that Miss Liu led people to dig them specially!"
Someone said this and everyone nodded.
"Yes! I think Miss Liu is smart. How did she think of digging a deep well?"
"Hey, your information is too outdated. Let me tell you, our prince has people digging wells in drought-stricken areas along the way. I don't know how many lives he has saved!"
Everyone believes that their prince has been doing good deeds all along, either saving people or saving lives.
So as long as the prince and Miss Liu are around, they are not afraid.
With them around, everyone feels at home and doesn't have to worry about their lives at all.
“There is a mountain spring and a river outside our village. Miss Liu sends people to check the river water every day, just in case something goes wrong.
I also watch it every day. The river is surging now, so we are not afraid."
Everybody burst into laughter. This river water was very important and everyone was watching.
Not only do we need water to drink, but we also need to grow crops, and neither of these can be possible without water.
"If there is no water, don't panic or get confused. We will follow the prince and go wherever he tells us to go!"
"Of course we have the prince and Miss Liu. As long as they are here, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"By the way, does the prince like Miss Liu? Why do they look so well-matched to me?"
"You have good eyesight, you can see this!"
Everyone laughed, and they really hoped that Liu Rumei and Prince Xian would be able to have a happy marriage. They were also happy.
"I say, this emperor and his ministers praying for blessings, will it really work?"
"I think it's terrible!"
"Yes, it depends on whether the emperor is sincere or not!"
"Your Majesty, I hope this will be useful."
That’s what everyone said and expected.
After all, he is their king. It would be great if it really rained.
At this moment in the Zhaixing Pavilion, the ministers were also dumbfounded.
What do you mean?
The emperor was praying alone upstairs, and they were kneeling below.
This kneeling lasted a whole day, and apart from giving some water and rice, nothing else was prepared.
Not only did they kneel down to pray, but they were not even given any food!
Everyone thought that it was arranged by the national teacher. After all, praying is a very serious matter, and it is understandable that you can’t eat casually.
But until nightfall, no meal was prepared.
Just one bowl of rice porridge a day!
This left the ministers dumbfounded, and at this time Chief Steward Wang stood up.
"My Lords, during the prayer period, you must bear with the injustice and only eat water and rice, no meat or vegetables, to show your sincerity!"
"Ah! Eunuch Wang, how can this be possible!"
"Yes, Eunuch Wang, if that's the case, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on and will collapse!"
The ministers protested one after another, and Chief Steward Wang also sighed.
"My Lords, this is all for the people of the world! Not only you, but also His Majesty!"
This left the ministers speechless. After all, no matter how valuable they were, they were not as valuable as the emperor.
But now that His Majesty was alone in a room, how could they be sure whether this was true.
Who knows what Your Majesty ate.
The ministers felt they had been deceived, and Prime Minister Lin also felt that the emperor was too despicable.
What's going on!
What emperor would treat his subjects like this? He must have a purpose for starving them.
This is definitely not for praying, so what is it for?
No matter what the reason is, as long as they think about having only rice porridge to eat every day in the future, they will probably not be able to bear the hunger.
This is so immoral, who on earth came up with this idea!
Butler Wang left with a smile on his face. He had to prepare food and drinks for His Majesty.
Your Majesty, you really do pray for blessings, but you also have to eat and drink well.
