"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you. May Your Majesty be well and healthy."

As all the ministers bowed their heads, Emperor Qi slowly walked up to the platform.

"Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers stood up, and the old celestial master of the Imperial Observatory stepped forward and stood before Emperor Qi. "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Emperor Qi nodded, and he cast a look at Eunuch Hong who was standing behind him on the right. "Before the rain-praying ceremony begins, I have something to announce. Hong Zhao, read the words above."

Eunuch Hong showed a bitter look on his face, but he still trotted forward and took the imperial edict from Emperor Qi.

When Eunuch Hong slowly unfolded the scroll, a group of people below knelt down again.

"I have heard that Heaven created the people and appointed a ruler to nurture and govern them. If the ruler is not virtuous and distributes the government unevenly, Heaven will send disasters to warn against unruly people..."

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, everyone's eyes turned red.

When Eunuch Hong finished reading, the audience burst into tears, "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty, why is it so..." "Your Majesty, it's our incompetence!"

Emperor Qi raised his hand, and the ministers who were expressing their feelings fell silent.

"Everyone, Daqi is suffering from such a disaster now, and I, as the reigning ruler, cannot escape the blame."

"I just hope that today's rain-praying ceremony can go smoothly."

The ministers knelt on the ground one after another and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Mingji era. He will surely be able to bring down the rain from heaven!"

Qin Chaoyan leaned on the steps, looked at the people below, shook his head, then looked up at the emperor of Daqi.

She looked up at the sky; it was clear and there was no sign of rain.

Moreover, the weather panel on 425 shows that there will be no rain today. Not only today, but the weather in the next seven days that can be checked is all sunny.

Today, can we really pray for rain through this rain-praying ceremony?

Qin Chaoyan's gaze fell on Wei Chu below. Today, he was wearing official uniform and standing in the front row.

When the old Taoist priest was chanting the words to pray for rain, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were looking at the clouds in the sky, with a little hope hidden in his eyes.

Qin Chaoyan pursed her lips, thinking about the living standards of the people in Daqi Kyoto that she had visited in the streets and alleys in the past few days, especially the real life of the ordinary and poor people.

The water shortage problem in Daqi is imminent, a matter of life and death.

One bucket of water is used by a family of seven or eight people for seven days. They rely on this little bit of water for washing, eating, and daily life.

Whenever she discovered a little suffering brought by drought in life, Qin Chaoyan would recall the details of her time with Wei Zhao and the others, such as Wei Zhao's expression of cherishment when he ate noodles with soup and drank beverages with her, and he once asked her if he could keep the food for him to eat slowly.

Green vegetables were precious, and the students cherished the coarse flour bread served in the academy's dining hall very much.

After Wei Chu was injured and returned to the Dali Temple, he only used a half-dry towel to wipe his wounds and body.

A bowl of small wontons, with more wontons than soup.

The soup is also a small bowl.

……

While Qin Chaoyan was lost in thought, the rain-praying ceremony on the platform had been completed. The sky was still clear and there was no change at all.

Looking at Emperor Qi and the large group of court officials below him, she thought of the people of Kyoto City and the many people on this land she had never met.

If it’s so difficult under the emperor’s feet, what about those far away?

Qin Chaoyan sighed, she opened 425, and clicked on the piece of clothing she found from the pile of clothes in her backpack that day after she had the idea. She thought it was suitable for her current situation.

【Dragon Girl Skirt】

Qin Chaoyan's eyes became firm. Since she had the ability, she would help within her ability. Do things within your ability.

She learned this from Jiang Yuandao.

After changing into the dress, Qin Chaoyan felt her skin became a little cooler. As for the clothing item, she chose matching clothes.

Qin Chaoyan touched the little dragon horn on her head, not knowing how it grew. If she walked out like this, the image of the dragon girl would be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Pray to God, please give us a great rain!" Emperor Qi shouted loudly. From the beginning of the prayer until this moment, all the civil and military officials, princes, monks of Chengfo Temple, and servants below were all looking at the sky above their heads.

Looking at this unchanging and cruel God, some young officials showed despair in their eyes and pursed their lips tightly to prevent themselves from crying.

It was at this time that Qin Chaoyan appeared in front of everyone. [Dragon Girl's Skirt] has two skills, [Flying on the Clouds] and [Calling the Wind and Rain].

She appeared in the sky in a blue dress, and Emperor Qi's usually calm expression changed slightly.

There was an uproar below, and when Wei Chu saw her face clearly, he moved his feet and wanted to rush to her to take a closer look. The Huai Wang on his right front side held him tightly, and the shock in the Huai Wang's heart was no less than Wei Chu's.

But the most important thing today is to pray for rain.

Moreover, Emperor Qi was on the high platform, and all the civil and military officials were present below the platform, so there was no room for any negligence.

"Huaiyu, don't move rashly."

Someone beside him exclaimed, and Wei Chu's eyes were fixed on the person in the sky. She was still as dazzling as he remembered.

The moment Qin Chaoyan appeared, Eunuch Hong immediately moved to the side of Emperor Qi. Having followed Emperor Qi over the years, he had seen all kinds of storms, but this was the first time he had seen this scene.

"Your Majesty, this, could it be the goddess?"

The old Taoist priest beside him looked at Qin Chaoyan with excitement, his lips trembling with excitement, and he knelt down suddenly.

"The goddess has arrived, please bless our Daqi!"

As soon as the old Taoist knelt, everyone present knelt down except Emperor Qi. Wei Chu was pulled down by the King of Huai and knelt down. He did not dare to look away and fell on Qin Chaoyan.

"The goddess's presence is a blessing for Daqi!"

"The goddess has arrived, it is a blessing for Daqi!"

Qin Chaoyan and Qi Di met eyes. If she didn't have the special skill of remaining expressionless in big occasions, she would have panicked for a moment.

Ordinary people cannot easily withstand the emperor's gaze.

Qin Chaoyan didn't say anything, just glanced at them, and flew in the air. When she activated the skill [Call the Wind and Summon the Rain], a dragon shadow faintly appeared at her side, and a dragon roar came out from between her lips and teeth.

In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder roared.

"goddess!"

"The goddess has come to save my Daqi!"

The sky over Daqi was filled with dark clouds. Rain had arrived in Daqi.

It is impossible to make the whole Daqi rain at once with just the skill of [Call the Wind and Call the Rain]. Qin Chaoyan used talisman paper to enhance the spell and ate elixirs.

As for the side effect, her body will be weak for three days.

"It's raining!"

"The rain from heaven has fallen, and the goddess has appeared in the world. This is a great joy for Daqi!"

After summoning the rain, Qin Chaoyan's figure disappeared in the sky. The sound of a dragon's roar was heard in the air, but her figure was no longer there.
