This God's face changes at any time, even more exaggerated than Huang Laosi.
The sun was bright just a moment ago, but in an instant dark clouds covered the sun, there were thunders, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
Standing outside the Jingyi Hall, Huang Laosi looked worried and could only sigh and feel helpless.
The heavy rain poured down, and the emperor's eyes turned towards the ruins of Taowu Hall.
"Let the Tao family farmers go to Yueyang Palace to take shelter from the rain."
Sun An's expression changed slightly: "Your Majesty, Liyang Palace..."
"It's not over yet."
"only."
The old eunuch didn't dare to ask others to go, so he ran there himself in the rain.
Chu Qing, who had already been drenched to death, was feeling worried. It would definitely be impossible for everyone to continue working, but it was not suitable for them to go back now. They couldn't run all the way to the outskirts of Beijing in the rain.
Seeing the old eunuch running away, Chu Qing rushed to greet him.
The old eunuch didn't waste any time and shouted directly: "Your Majesty said to go to Yueyang Palace to take shelter from the rain. Come with us."
Chu Qing's expression moved slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Jingyi Hall.
Not to mention the heavy rain, I couldn't see clearly even at such a distance on weekdays. I could just vaguely see a figure standing tall outside the temple.
Chu Qing knew that that man must be the emperor.
I couldn't see the appearance clearly, but I found that the emperor seemed to have an image, a slightly taller one.
An emperor who cares about whether his people are getting wet should be considered a good emperor. Even if he is not good, he is not that bad.
Naturally, there was no need for the imperial guard to follow him. More than two hundred villagers followed the old eunuch and ran to Yueyang Palace.
Yueyang Palace is not far away. Although it is old, it is not as dilapidated and empty as Taowu Palace. It is a good place to shelter from the wind and rain.
After the villagers ran in, they thanked the old eunuch profusely, and Chu Qing did the same.
Sun An wanted to go back to serve the emperor, so he nodded and left. Without a paper umbrella, he ran back to Jingyi Hall in the rain.
Besides, Chu Qing's side was wet. The hall was already empty, and the flying windows were not closed. The draft blew so hard that he couldn't help but shiver.
The bankers were happy to accept their fate and gathered together to chat casually.
Many people were making noises, but they were idle anyway, allowing Chu Qing to continue telling stories about the bald man and the idiots.
Chu Qing chuckled: "Okay, let me change the story for you this time, and we will open a new book."
Fu San said: "Master, Xun Wukong hasn't come to an end yet."
"I'm so confused about that. I'll go back and sort it out before I talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to tell you something more exciting today."
"Xiangyan?" Fu San's eyes were burning: "What kind of fragrant method?"
Sitting on the ground, Chu Qing said happily: "It's about the love and hatred between Mr. Ximen and Ms. Pan, but we have to start with the supporting role, that is, Mr. Wu, the catering tycoon in Qinghe County. Let's talk about this big man.
Ah, there was a famous saying that warned.”
Fu San asked: "What famous saying did Dalang say?"
"Love is arsenic, so sweet that it makes you sad."

In the Yangyi Hall, Prince Chang Yu shouted with his eyebrows dancing.
"Well done, well done. God won't let that old sour scholar enter the palace and be lonely. Okay."
The second prince Changxian looked at the heavy rain outside and remained silent.
Nangong Shou sighed silently like a young adult: "Looking at the intensity of the rain, it will probably continue for several days. The people outside the city will probably suffer disaster."
Chang Yu curled his lips in disapproval and said without looking back: "Tao Suiruding can't enter the palace anymore, why are you just sitting there stupidly? If you go back alone, you have to listen to Bajie Sanshou Baigujing's eyes again, haha
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Gui, who was covered in rain, pushed open the door and entered.
The prince immediately became angry: "Why didn't you listen to the book in Taowu Hall? Why did you come back?"
"Your Highness, it's raining, so Mr. Chu and the farmers won't be working."
"What, no more work?" The prince said with an angry look on his face: "That's unreasonable. It's just rain. The renovation of my father's palace has not been completed yet. They dare to be lazy."
Tong Gui explained: "It was Eunuch Sun who took them out of the rain, and it should be under His Majesty's permission."
"Father's permission?"
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and then his eyes lit up: "Then go quickly and bring the storyteller here and let him tell it to me."
Tong Gui's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "This... Your Highness, I'm afraid it's against the rules. The East Palace is no better than Taowu Palace, but..."
"Stop talking nonsense, just go as I'm told."
"The general will obey his orders."
Tong Gui was a little reluctant, but after all, he was the guard of the East Palace, and he was unwilling to say anything more in front of the second prince and Nangong Shou.
I don't know why lately, as the prince's health becomes worse and worse, his temper becomes more and more perverse and violent.
After Tong Gui left, Chang Yu looked back at Nangong Shou and said with a smile: "You write quickly, just right. As soon as the storyteller talks, you start writing."
Nangong Shou stood up and bowed expressionlessly.
"Your Highness, it's raining heavily. If it rains for a few more days, Xiaxian County will definitely be hit by disaster. If I want to be busy in the Rites Department, I'd better go back to the Yamen Office to help."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the prince to say anything, Nangong Shou ran out of the Yangyi Hall carrying the book basket.
Although he was young, Nangong Shou was very knowledgeable and talented since he was a child. He obtained a meritorious service at the age of fifteen, and with his father's relationship, he was given a ninth-grade post in the Ministry of Rites at a young age, which could be regarded as an official status.
"It's only ninth grade, you need to cause trouble, you hypocrite!"
Chang Yu snorted and looked at the second prince Chang Xian again, but said nothing. He sat back on the stool and waited patiently.
…………
Outside the palace, the Tao family's carriage had just stopped.
I have to say that Lao Tao is really responsible. Even if it rains so heavily, no one will blame him even if he doesn't enter the palace, but this old man still comes.
But after all, I am getting old, and it is raining heavily now, and I will get wet even if I hold a paper umbrella, so I thought of waiting for the rain to subside before I can get out of the carriage and go to the palace to give lectures.
Looking out the window, Tao Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Dad, when His Royal Highness saw it raining, he must have thought that you would not enter the palace, and most likely you were trying to hide away."
"I think so. The prince's temperament is really worrying for my father. He can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, and can't listen to the poems and songs. I heard some ministers who are close to the palace say privately that the prince has nothing to do all day long. Just thinking about having fun, hey..."
Tao Yao sighed, with a bit of confusion on his face: "Before Your Majesty came to the throne, this prince was smart, studious, knowledgeable and reasonable. Whoever met him wouldn't praise him as a good prince. But at the end of last year, his temperament changed for some reason. , and then he became what he is now, extremely eccentric, and I heard that he almost killed several palace maids and guards, which is really chilling. On the contrary, the originally arrogant and domineering Second Prince seemed to have changed. Respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao is so strange."
"What's there to worry about? The prince is a nobleman from the sky." Tao Zhongyuan said nonchalantly: "The guards and the palace maids are all slaves. Not to mention their clumsiness annoyed the prince. It was because the prince innocently beat them and killed them. No matter what, I am just a servant."
"What a bastard!" Tao Yao's face changed drastically and he scolded: "How could Yuan'er say such slanderous words!"
Tao Zhongyuan stuck out his tongue: "Dad, don't be angry, people just say whatever they want without thinking."
Tao Yao's face looked cloudy and uncertain.
Yes, he also knew that Tao Zhongyuan said it casually without meaning, but it was precisely because he said it without meaning that it made him even more worried.
Staring at the girl he had doted on since childhood, Tao Yao still didn't think deeply about it. He stood up and said "enter the palace".
It was obvious that the old man was very angry.
In fact, it was indeed the case, but he was not going to vent his anger on the girl, but on the prince.
The prince must be playing around in the East Palace, and the old man was ready to take the opportunity to scold him.
