The emperor was always very polite to the people around the queen mother.
Then he said: "Everyone, get up."
He handed the key to Zhang Sande behind him and paid his respects to the Queen Mother first.
The Queen Mother hurriedly called Aunt Ying: "If you don't bring me a chair yet, I'll let you sit down."
Someone had already brought a chair, and the Queen Mother said, "The sun is nice today and the flowers are blooming well.
Let us just talk here."
The Emperor responded and sat down with the Queen Mother.
Aunt Ying had already ordered all the maids to disperse, leaving only a few people to wait on her.
When the Queen Mother saw that the emperor was only wearing a navy blue tapestry dragon jacket, she said: "It's warm now, but it's still a little cold in the morning and evening.
Why do you change into a jacket in the morning and evening?"
The emperor said: "Because I got up from a nap, I changed my clothes.
My son will put on more clothes when he goes back."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Those people in the Si Zhiku are all wearing three clothes but not four clothes."
Although Li Dequan is dedicated, he is still limited when it comes to this.
You must be careful.
Three or four of the maids in Qianqing Palace should be released when they are old enough."
Turning around, she glanced at Nanny Ying.
Nanny Ying hurriedly said, "I'm going back to the Queen Mother.
Last time, Concubine Tong came back to you and told me about our relationship.
Regarding the release of the maids in the palace, there are four people in Qianqing Palace who are old enough. " The Queen Mother nodded: "We must teach those little girls early, lest the old ones are released and the new ones can't be used as errands."
She pointed to the painted beads beside the attendant: "Although this girl is naughty, she is good at needlework.
She's doing well, and she's doing things well.
From now on, let her go over to the Qing Palace and learn to take care of the clothes."
The emperor replied: "The queen mother always thinks about her son.
He can't always be at her knees.
This is a capable person beside the queen mother.
Serving the queen mother on her son's behalf makes the son feel better."
The queen mother smiled and said: "Because of looking at this child That's right, I just asked her to go to Qianqing Palace.
The more mature people around you will be released.
This one is young, so if she learns well, she can still serve you for a few years. " When the emperor heard what she said, he had no choice but to say "yes."
Aunt Ying hurriedly asked Huazhu to come forward to thank her.
When the Queen Mother saw that day, it was blue and cloudless, and said: "It is really clear and clear."
The emperor said: "It has always been sunny since the first month.
There was also a light snowfall in early February.
It has not yet rained in Zhili, and the land is bare for thousands of miles.
The spring drought has already begun.
I am afraid that if it is sunny in the past few days, the spring farming will be delayed. " The Queen Mother said: "As a woman, I shouldn't talk too much about national affairs.
But when it comes to praying for rain, previous dynasties have ordered princes and ministers to pray on their behalf.
Otherwise, even if you go to the Temple of Heaven in person, as long as you fast devoutly beforehand, you will be fine."
That’s all.”
The emperor said: "My son plans to walk to the Temple of Heaven.
He just wants to invite God's mercy with piety and send down rain to relieve the suffering of the people.
The Empress Dowager taught his son: All the people in the world support their sons, and the sons can only treat all the people in the world with sincerity." .
Walking several miles to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain is a sign of your son’s sincerity.”
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "I can always defeat you.

What you say makes sense.
I just won't stop you.
But under the bright sun, you can't walk such a long distance without riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair."
The emperor smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, my son will be careful."
The emperor's prayer for rain is a major event, and the ceremony is naturally a lot of red tape.
The most important thing is to choose a good day.
The auspicious day chosen by the Qin Tian Jian mostly depends on the fate of heaven.
It turns out that during a severe drought, the emperor went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain.
This was his last resort and he had no choice but to do it.
The most important thing is that after the emperor prays to heaven, there must be rain.
The best thing about it is that there will be a sweet shower on the day of praying for rain.
Otherwise, God will not give the emperor half face, which will seriously damage the Nine-Five Supreme Lord's destiny.
The dignity of the emperor.
Therefore, Qin Tianjian deliberately waited until the sky was dark and overcast, and it seemed that a heavy rain was coming in the near future, so he reported the chosen day.
On Ji Mao Day, the emperor personally left the Meridian Gate and walked to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain.
When the emperor led his ministers and workers to the Temple of Heaven, a strong wind was already blowing, and dark clouds were low for a long time, so dark that they seemed to destroy the city.
By the time the emperor returned to the forbidden city, it was already Shenchu time, and the emperor had not yet had dinner.
It was customary for the emperor to have only two meals: breakfast, dinner, dinner, and dinner.
It was still the rule Taizu established when he was fighting on horseback.
The emperor had fasted for three days and walked several miles that day.
However, he was in his prime and was full of energy.
Instead, he had a huge appetite.
He passed the meal to Qianqing Palace and ate two bowls of old rice, which was very delicious.
Lin Langfang brought tea into the palace, and suddenly heard the wind blowing and the window opened with a "pop".
The eunuch hurriedly went to close the window, but the emperor ordered: "No need."
He got up and went to the window to look at the sky, only to see dark clouds rolling in the sky. , a gust of wind came, carrying thousands of silver threads floating past.
There was a sound of rain hitting the tiles.
After a while, the rain started pouring down, and misty water vapor began to rise all around in front of the palace.
The emperor suddenly felt refreshed and said: "Okay."
"Yu" Linlang bent her knees and said, holding the tea tray, "I would like to express my congratulations to my master."
When the emperor turned around and saw her, he asked, "How happy am I?"
Linlang said: "The heavy rain has arrived.
It is the joy of the people all over the world to receive the rain after a long drought.
Naturally, it is also the joy of the Long Live Lord."
The emperor was happy in his heart.
He smiled slightly and reached out to take the tea.
Then he opened the lidded bowl and felt something strange: " What's this" Linlang said hurriedly: "Long live my Lord, I walked a long distance today.
I must have been very thirsty during the journey, and the dinner was delicious.
So I was brave enough to ask the imperial waiter to prepare almond cheese."
The emperor asked: "Is this something from Huizi?"
Linlang replied softly, "Yes."
The emperor took a small taste.
The almond cheese was soaked in hot water with Beijing's sweet almonds, added a pinch of furnace ash, put it into the water, and let it cool.
Peel off the skin, rinse with clean water, then measure out the clean water, mix in the glutinous rice, grind it into very fine powder with water, just like grinding tofu.
Use a silk bag to squeeze the juice and remove the residue, add the juice to it, cook it, mix it with sesame seeds, and finally add Western snowflakes and sugar.

It is sweet and soft, and the emperor only feels the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks, it is extremely luscious.
He said: "This is very good.
Almonds are good for the lungs.
You are very thoughtful."
He asked: "Are you ready for it?"
Linlang replied: "There are more."
The emperor then said: "Send some to the Empress Dowager."
Linlang followed the order and came out, took a suitcase and packed a large bowl of cheese, ordered the young eunuch to hold an umbrella, and carried it himself Take the box and go to the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace.
When the Empress Dowager heard that the emperor had sent someone to deliver cheese, she called Linlang in.
But I saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the Kang, wearing a home-made crimson gauze embroidered magnolia longevity jacket, with only two or three simple pearls on her head.
She was dignified and kind, but faintly majestic.
Entering the palace and bowing respectfully , then stood there.
The Empress Dowager was smiling and very happy: "It's hard for the Emperor to think of me for everything.
He even sent a bowl of cheese in the rain."
Seeing Linlang's clothes were half wet, she felt a little pity and asked: " May I have your name" Linlang replied: "To the Queen Mother, my name is Linlang."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This is a good name.
He is such a refreshing child.
I have never seen you before.
How long have you been working in Qianqing Palace?"
Linlang said: "My servant has been working in front of the emperor for a month."
The Empress Dowager nodded and asked: "The emperor came back today, is he in good spirits?"
Linlang replied: "Long live the Lord is in great spirits.
After walking such a long journey, he is still in good spirits."
You are in good spirits."
The Queen Mother asked again: "What is delicious for dinner?"
Linlang answered one by one, and the Empress Dowager said: "Go back and do your job well, and tell your master that he takes care of himself, which means he is filial to me."
Linlang responded "Yes."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't say anything else, she kowtowed and exited, returning to Qianqing Palace as usual.
The rain was heavier than before, and there was only the sound of "gurgling" water everywhere.
The water-controlling dragon heads on all four sides under the foundation of the palace were making rapid rain, which was a spectacular sight.
The rain was coming so fast that only clouds of water vapor could be seen a dozen steps away, and the palace with red walls and glazed tiles was completely hidden in the heavy rain.
The wind carried the rain even harder, hitting people directly.
Although Linlang was holding an umbrella, the rain still rolled under the umbrella from time to time.
When she returned to Qianqing Palace, most of her clothes were already wet.
I had to straighten my half-wet temples and go into the palace to see the driver.
The emperor usually had a lecture in the afternoon, but he did not do so on the day of praying for rain.
So the emperor changed his clothes, checked the records in a leisurely manner, and asked the eunuch to take the official position.
Fang glanced at two or three pages, and suddenly a very faint fragrance approached, and he couldn't help but raise his head.
Linlang greeted him and said: "In response to Lord Long live, the Empress Dowager was very happy to see the emperor.
She asked about the emperor's daily life and said to the servant, Lord Long Live, you should take care of yourself, which means you are filial to the Queen Mother. " When the emperor heard her relay the words of the Empress Dowager, he stood up and listened quietly.
After she finished speaking, she felt the fragrance lingering, like a wisp, as if it wanted to penetrate into people's bone marrow.
I couldn't help but pay attention, and saw the black hair on the side of the white jade-like face, and the tips of the hair were still covered with crystal clear water drops, falling down clearly.
But there was a drop of rainwater slowly sliding down, along the lotus green collar, falling and disappearing in an instant.
Because the clothes were wet, the outline of the plump figure was very charming.
The rain dampened her clothes and it was extremely cold.

Linlang felt a slight itching at the end of her nose.
She only had time to take out the handkerchief to cover it, and couldn't help but sneeze.
This was a breach of etiquette before the emperor.
She hurriedly took two steps back and said: "Slave I'm sorry."
In a panic, the handkerchief slipped down again, falling to the ground lightly and silently.
It's not picking it up, and it's even worse if you don't pick it up.
He felt anxious, and the slight blush on his cheeks showed up, reminding the emperor of the hibiscus dew reflected in the white jade pear cup of Hotan, but he unknowingly bent down to pick it up.
Handkerchief, hand it to her.
It doesn't matter if she picks up, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't pick up.
The cheeks are as red as drunken clouds.
It happened that at this moment Li Dequan came in with painted beads and a waistcoat.
Li Dequan was the most alert and could not help but shrink back when he saw him.
The emperor had already heard the footsteps and turned back to tuck the handkerchief into his sleeve
