Chapter 85: 朝廷动荡

Chapter 85: Turbulence Court

The first daughter of the Prime Minister’s residence is getting married, and she is also marrying into the Crown Prince’s residence to be the legal wife of the crown prince, so no matter how you say it, the dowry won’t be shabby and miserable. 

“Dowry?” In Lu Yunluo’s fused memory, on the day of her marriage, it was indeed a ten-mile red dress, and the dowry seemed to have more than two hundred lifts. 

Because on the very night of the wedding there was a huge change. The next day, the emperor sent her to the cold palace as the daughter of the guilty minister’s identity. Soon followed by the news of the prime minister’s death, therefore she never thought about those dowries.

“When Niang Niang and I entered the palace at that time, we only brought things we carried on our bodies and nothing else. Who knew that when we entered the palace we were locked up in the Cold Palace.”

“In that case, it’s likely that these dowries are still in the Crown Prince’s Residence.” Zhou Mama remembered that before she entered the palace, she had gone over to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to enquire about it, and that mansion was still currently under the Emperor’s name. It seemed that many of the things within it hadn’t been moved to the imperial palace.

“Yin Shuang, do you know what’s in my dowry?” Lu Yunluo tried hard to recall and didn’t know exactly what her dowry was.

Yin Shuang thought for a moment, “I saw some of it when I was packing boxes the day before the wedding, it was all gold hairpin, pearl, jewelry and so on. As for the rest, this servant doesn’t know. I think there will definitely be some shops and farms as well.”

When Lu Yunluo heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, there are also shops and farms ah?

It seemed that she had to find time to talk to Ji Wu Jue about this.

Four days later, the heavy rain stopped.

This rain surprised those palace maids and eunuchs working in the Cold Palace for several days and they have not been able to recuperate. 

They originally thought that the weather forecast posted outside the wall of the Cold Palace was written by Niang Niang for fun, but they never thought that it would really rain!

The first day of work after the heavy rain stopped, some people already came to the Cold Palace early, and re-read the weather forecast drawing, before finally they amazingly found that even the hour of rainfall is accurate!

No wonder Niang Niang had given them four days off!

It turned out that Niang Niang had already known that it would rain during these four days!

It’s simply even better than the Board of Astronomy!

Everyone found it unbelievable.

Because it just rained, the land is wet, there is no way to farm. These two days let them start building and transforming some places, (preparing) materials and so on in the Cold Palace. The Imperial Household Department has sent over some parts. 

Two days later, half of the people began to turn the land, drying wheat.

Moreover, these days, the court above is quite turbulent, not only in the whole country, many caught in the dark malicious high price of grain of the enemy state spies, but also involved a string of court officials list.

It was said that this list was basically all of the Third Prince’s men.

Half a year ago, when the late emperor passed away, the third prince was arrested in the Heavenly Prison after failing to seize the throne, and disappeared into the Heavenly Prison on the same night.

To say that there are no Third Prince’s men in this court is simply impossible.

The ministers in the courtroom were all trembling with fear of being involved in this incident.

The good thing is, after this incident, the price of food everywhere gradually returned to the normal price.

With these two rains within a short period of time in Dong Lan Country, the extremely urgent drought crisis seemed to be removed.

On this day, after Ji Wu Jue got off from the morning court, he frowned and stared at the food on the table.

This food looked like a rock, hard and solid, and when it was peeled open and she sniffed it, a sour odor assailed his nostrils.

He swept a displeased glance at Eunuch Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, “Is this the steamed bun you have been researching for three days?”

“Answering to the Emperor, the cook tried many times. This dough, no matter what and how you steam it on the pot, is sour after it comes out of the pot. Moreover, no matter how you try it, the steamed buns coming out of the pot were so hard and solid.” Eunuch Cheng was simply about to cry.
