The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

October 5th was the day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and the Ministry of Rites for climbing Mount Tai to pray for rain.

Mount Tai is not far from the capital, and the original plan was to go there a day in advance, but Lu Junze was really busy and didn't have that much time, so he just went there that day.

So Gu Shijin was called up very early that morning, dressed up, put on a heavy formal dress, and wore a gorgeous phoenix crown on his head. He looked solemn and noble.

"Jin'er is so beautiful today." Gu Shijin walked to the palace gate. Lu Junze, who was waiting there, had a flash of surprise in his eyes when he saw Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin's looks were undoubtedly excellent, and it was hard to find a few who could match her in this harem of three thousand beauties. However, Gu Shijin had rarely dressed so gorgeously before, and today she looked so stunning that it was truly impossible to take your eyes off her.

Gu Shijin put her hand in the hand that Lu Junze stretched out, curled her lips and smiled, and said without any modesty: "I think so too."

"Hahaha, very good." Lu Junze held Gu Shijin's hand tightly and walked towards the sedan chair step by step.

Gu Shijin originally had her own sedan chair, but Lu Junze pulled her into the dragon sedan chair.

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules." Gu Shijin said when Lu Junze was about to step forward.

Regardless of whether Lu Junze agrees or not after she refuses, Gu Shijin must refuse first. She has to show her attitude to these ministers, otherwise she will soon become the target of the ministers' criticism.

"No problem." Lu Junze glanced at the ministers following behind him, "Jin'er, just follow me."

Those ministers hung their heads and said nothing. Not to mention that they would not offend the emperor today, they still remembered clearly the emperor's previous marriage arrangement.

Anyway, they are sitting on the emperor's dragon chariot. What does it have to do with them? If the emperor likes to let the imperial concubine sit on it, then let her sit on it.

"Lord Gu is so lucky." The official standing with Gu Shijin's father in the back sighed softly.

Father Gu just smiled and said nothing.

Others only see his daughter being favored by the emperor and being high and mighty, but only he himself can see the hardships behind his daughter.

"Get started."

The Mount Tai of this era is not the Mount Tai of Gu Shijin's previous life. Apart from the name, there is no similarity between them.

Mount Tai is not very high, and Gu Shijin and Lu Junze reached the top of the mountain after climbing for more than half an hour.

That's right. The emperor came here to pray for rain, not to really climb the mountain. We can't let the emperor really climb the mountain for hours.

In just over half an hour, Gu Shijin was already exhausted, not for any other reason, but mainly because the clothes were not only in the way but also heavy. He had to be very careful along the way. He couldn't mess up the clothes before praying for rain. So there were five or six palace maids carrying the clothes for Gu Shijin.

Gu Shijin rolled his eyes. What was going on?

Praying for rain on Mount Tai sounds like a troublesome thing, but in fact it is not troublesome at all for Lu Junze and Gu Shijin. As long as the people come, they just have to follow the requirements of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites has already made all the arrangements anyway.

Lu Junze and Gu Shijin are truly tools.

It was just a coincidence that as soon as Lu Junze and Gu Shijin climbed up Mount Tai, dark clouds appeared in the sky and a strong wind began to blow.

Gu Shijin: “…”

Is it really that magical? Is it going to rain before she even starts praying? Please don’t, she doesn’t want to get soaked.

But the ministers were very happy to see this scene. It was really going to rain. It was really God's blessing. Lu Junze was also very happy to see it. No matter if it was a coincidence or something else, his prestige as an emperor could be upgraded to a higher level.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the time is almost up." Someone from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said respectfully.

Lu Junze nodded, "Get ready."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gu Shijin followed behind Lu Junze and went through the entire process in a daze.

"The ceremony is over!" Upon hearing these two words, Gu Shijin suddenly felt relaxed. To be honest, she was still quite nervous. After all, this was in ancient times when superstition was still quite high. If anything went wrong today, she, Gu Shijin, would most likely be pushed out to talk back, because she was an imperial concubine.

In fact, to be honest, if possible, Gu Shijin would like to be a favored concubine forever. How wonderful it is to be a favored concubine. She can be willful, she can compete for favors, and she can act coquettishly and willfully without restraint. But being a queen cannot do that. A queen must be virtuous, dignified and generous.

God may have heard Gu Shijin's thoughts, because Gu Shijin did not come down from Mount Tai. The sky was gloomy and it looked like a violent storm was about to come at any time.

"Your Majesty, it seems like it's going to rain." Gu Shijin held Lu Junze's hand and said softly.

"Yeah, it's finally going to rain."

There has been no harvest in many places this year. This is not just a problem of less tax revenue, but also that the people will live in dire straits for the next year.

Lu Junze frowned.

Gu Shijin could probably guess what Lu Junze was thinking, but she couldn't give Lu Junze any useful suggestions on this issue.

Because they were afraid of rain on the way, they returned to the palace much faster. Coincidentally, it started to drizzle as the dragon chariot just arrived at the palace gate.

Lu Junze and Gu Shijin looked at each other. No matter what the reason for today's coincidence was, such a good opportunity must be seized to let the people all over the world know that God is on Lu Junze's side.

Well, people in ancient times were very superstitious.

"Jin'er, please go back to the palace first. I still have some things to deal with." Lu Junze straightened Gu Shijin's hair and said softly.

"Okay, Your Majesty, you should also pay more attention to your health and not overwork yourself."

When Gu Shijin returned to Chenhua Palace, her clothes were a little wet from the rain. She looked at the clothes she had changed and sighed, "What a waste."

The people were suffering from drought, but the royal family's luxury still existed. Gu Shijin was the beneficiary of this incident and could not say anything.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some ginger soup, please drink some." Although Gu Shijin was in good health, he did not want to get sick, so he took the bowl and drank it without any pretense.

It’s just that this small kitchen may have put too much ginger. Why is the soup so spicy?

"Empress, candied fruit." Xingzhu said quickly.

"Your Majesty will have a good time these few days, so I will ask the kitchen to make the tea thicker. Your Majesty, please don't blame me." Xingzhu said.

Gu Shijin waved her hand. She knew Xingzhu was doing this for her own good.

The rain lasted for two full days, immediately alleviating the troubles and panic caused by three months without rain.

And because of the various coincidences of praying for rain on Mount Tai, people now believe that Lu Junze is the son of destiny.

Lu Junze had not forgotten Gu Shijin when he was born. Now people say that the Imperial Noble Consort is beautiful, kind-hearted, virtuous and virtuous. Even God likes her and she is a very good person.
