"Little Yi, look who's here!"
In the room, Luo Xiaoyi was sitting by the window and looking at the heavy rain outside. Madam Chang walked in.
"Auntie, didn't I say that I won't see anyone?”Luo Xiaoyi replied, still looking at the scenery outside the window.
Madam Chang still wanted to say something, but Li Yin stopped her. Madam Chang smiled obsequiously and retreated. She turned around, and her face was as gloomy as the sky.
Li Yin walked over and looked at Luo Xiaoyi's thin body. All kinds of feelings surged into his heart. He took a deep breath and said calmly," Why? You don't even want to see me?”
Luo Xiaoyi's body trembled. She turned around and looked at the rain.| The wet Li Yin suddenly felt like crying, but she immediately suppressed the impulse in her heart." Your Highness, you don't cherish your body. It's raining so heavily and you still came here. If you catch typhoid fever, wouldn't that be Xiao Yi's fault?"”
When the gentle words came out of Luo Xiaoyi's mouth, the psychological defense that Li Yin had built in his heart almost collapsed. He understood that after spending time with Luo Xiaoyi these days, he still liked Luo Xiaoyi a little. He smiled bitterly and tried his best to use a calm tone to say,"I was just passing by and came in to take shelter from the rain!”
"What's wrong, Your Highness? Why are you so cold to Xiao Yi?" A woman's sensitivity made her feel that Li Yin was different from the past.
"No, I'm just uncomfortable from the rain!”
Luo Xiaoyi smiled." Then I'll get Xiao Lu to boil some hot water for Your Highness to get rid of the cold and change into a set of dry clothes!"
"No need, I'll leave in a while!”Li Yin pulled Luo Xiaoyi, who was about to go out, back.
Luo Xiaoyi looked at Li Yin in a daze and suddenly said,""Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Perhaps this will be the last time we meet.”
"Why?" Li Yin raised his head and felt his chest tighten.
Luo Xiaoyi didn't answer Li Yin's question and leaned against him gently.""Fate comes and goes, so why ask so much, Your Highness?”
The heavy rain continued for the entire night. Chang 'an City was seriously flooded. Li Yin rode on Red Boy. In some deep places, the water even drowned Red Boy's knees. As Li Yin walked on the streets, he could see people floating out of their houses.
"Sigh, what bad luck. It hasn't rained so heavily in more than ten years!”An elder brought out a basin of water from the house and cursed.
"It's not a horse! He remembered that the Yellow River had flooded many places at that time!”another person said.
"I hope the Yellow River doesn't burst its banks this year. Otherwise, the price of rice in Chang 'an will rise again!”Someone sighed.
“……”
When Li Yin passed by the residences, he would occasionally hear such conversations. A trace of worry rose in his heart. Droughts and floods were a headache for the court in any era. If they were not handled well, it could easily lead to civil unrest. The Yangtze River flood in the 20th century caused great damage even with advanced technology, not to mention the current Tang Dynasty.
Li Yin thought about this question for a while and then passed it. He was thinking about something else now. Luo Xiaoyi was leaving, and the two of them might never see each other again. He asked why, but Luo Xiaoyi did not say anything. She just told him not to think about her anymore.
Luo Xiaoyi's actions made Li Yin even more confused. Since she had evil intentions towards him, she should have surrounded him, but why did she suddenly leave? At this moment, he could not help but wonder if he and Su Mo 'er were overthinking things. He let out a breath of turbid air, and Li Yin suddenly felt mixed emotions.
In Taiji Palace, the civil and military ministers stood on both sides. The court was filled with whispers. Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne and kept glancing at the ministers." Dear ministers, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with the waterlogging in Chang 'an?"”
"Your Majesty! Chang 'an City has been flooded for a long time. The weather will clear up. I don't think there is a need to waste money and manpower to govern!”A court official with the temperament of a scholar replied. This person was called Yao Silian. He had been following Li Shimin when he was the King of Qin. He was one of the famous eighteen scholars of King Qin's residence.
Zhangsun Wuji, who was standing in the front row, sneered. Yao Silian was really a blockhead. He didn't know how to read the Emperor's mind. Since the Emperor had raised this question, it meant that he wanted to solve it. Moreover, if Li Shiming could solve this problem, it would prove that he was wise and wise.
" Lord Yao, I cannot agree with you. Chang 'an City's annual floods have brought inconvenience to the lives of the people. With so many people talking at the foot of the emperor, wouldn't they be pointing fingers at the Imperial City?"”
Li Shi Min nodded," Then, does Si Kong have any solution?”
Zhangsun Wuji said awkwardly,"I've been thinking about this matter day and night, but I haven't come up with a proper solution yet!"”
Disappointed, Li Shimin said,""I hope that all of you can brainstorm on the matter of Chang 'an's waterlogging. I will reward anyone who comes up with a reasonable solution!”，Pausing for a moment, Li Shimin continued,"In addition, let the areas along the Yellow River prevent floods and waterlogging. Officials who neglect their duties must be severely punished.
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!"
In the Liang residence, Li Yin was organizing his servants to clean up the water in the residence. When he returned to the residence, he had a headache. His residence had become a fish pond. From time to time, he could see small fish running around. Fortunately, his residence was on a higher ground. In one morning, the water was almost cleaned up, but the courtyard was still very muddy.
"Sixth Brother!"
Before Li Yin could catch his breath, Li Ke had come over.
"Why are you here, Third Brother!" Li Yin asked curiously.
Li Ke looked enviously at the ground that had been cleared out of Li Yin's residence." My palace is now used to raise fish, not to live in. If I had known earlier, I would have chosen your palace. The terrain is high, and the water is cleared quickly!”
"Don't you dare have any ideas about me!" Li Yin glared at him.
"Is your third brother such a person?" Li Ke chuckled.”
"Yes, sir!" Li Yin didn't give him face." My money…"
"The weather is good today!" Li Ke cleverly interrupted Li Yin," Brother will stay in your residence for a few days. Once the residence is cleaned up, you can go back."”
"Mo 'er, get the servants to clean up a room!”No matter what, Li Ke was his own brother, so he could not order him to leave.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Su Mo 'er accepted the order and left.
"Not bad!" Looking at the departing Su Mo 'er, Li Ke smiled strangely and said,"Do you have that?"
"Do you think it's you? How dare you ruin the servant girl of the wangfu!" Li Yin said disdainfully.
"Sixth Brother, that's not right. How can I ruin them? Jun Bujian, they forced me!”Li Ke said unhappily.
"Tsk!" Li Yin protested with one word.
" I'm not joking with you anymore. Today, my father left a difficult problem for the important officials in Taiji Palace. He said that whoever could solve the waterlogging in Chang 'an would be heavily rewarded. Third Brother, I can't think of a good idea after thinking for a long time.”Li Ke suddenly said seriously.
"Rewards!" Li Yin was only interested in this word." I have a solution!”he said.
