"Yes, Your Majesty!" Su Peisheng nodded hurriedly in response, then quickly walked out of the hall and arranged for the eunuchs to prepare the sedan chair.

At this time, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.

The weather gradually turned cooler, and gusts of cold northwest wind whistled in, sweeping across the entire palace. The wind was strong and a little chilly, making people shiver.

The wind was mixed with dust and fallen leaves, forming a whirlwind that made it difficult for people to open their eyes.

In such weather, the atmosphere in the palace seemed particularly depressing and deserted.

The palace maids and eunuchs wrapped their clothes tightly and quickened their pace, hoping to return to the warm palace to shelter from the wind as soon as possible.

The guards at the palace gate stood straight and adhered to their posts. Despite the biting cold wind, they remained vigilant and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Su Peisheng looked up at the sky and saw that it was about to rain. The emperor had a cold face, so he did not dare to ask more questions. He just hoped that when he arrived at Suiyuxuan, the emperor would not be so angry.

In Suiyuxuan, Shen Meimei was still working in the small vegetable garden. Seeing that it was about to rain, she asked the palace maids and eunuchs to put out all the tools that could collect water.

It is very troublesome to go outside to fetch water for irrigation in winter. Now that it is going to rain, we should collect more water and use it to irrigate the vegetable garden in the future.

After doing all this, Shen Meimei felt the pain in her back and waist. She sat on the swing, staring at the gloomy sky in a daze.

When can I complete the mission and return to the modern era? To be honest, Shen Meimei misses home.

The emperor got off the sedan chair and walked quickly into the Suiyuxuan. Just as everyone was about to pay their respects, the emperor waved his hand and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, but no one dared to say a word.

Shen Meimei was lost in thought and sighed unconsciously, "When can I go home? If it continues like this, I will never be able to go home in this lifetime!"

The emperor originally came to Suiyuxuan angrily to find Shen Meimei, but suddenly he saw the woman in front of him with a sad expression. It turned out that she was missing home!

"The rustling of paulownia leaves heralds the sound of autumn, the rustling of banana leaves brings a hint of sorrow. It turns out that my Imperial Concubine Hui is missing home?" The emperor said softly and reached out to pat Shen Meimei's shoulder.

Shen Meimei was so frightened by the emperor's slap that she immediately jumped up from the swing, "Your Majesty, you scared me to death? Why are you walking like a cat without making any sound?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that this was inappropriate and quickly knelt down to pay her respects:

"I made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"It's okay. There aren't many people in the harem who can tell the truth like you! But I still have something to ask you. You've been busy with the vegetable garden all day, and you've asked all the concubines in the harem to raise poultry and grow vegetables with you. You don't do any serious work, you just do trivial things."

The emperor complained.

Shen Meimei bowed and saluted, saying:

"Your Majesty, time is running out. It is unpredictable how severe the locust plague will be in June next year. Do you still remember the flood in the 48th year of the previous emperor? There were millions of victims in Shandong, Henan and other places. If we know there will be a locust plague but do not take active measures to prevent it, what will we do when the ground is full of starving people and corpses are everywhere?"

The emperor was stunned. He found that the woman in front of him was very unfamiliar.

In the past, I only knew that Shen Meimei was well-educated, but I didn't know that she had also read history books and knew so much.

Seeing that the emperor looked unhappy, Shen Meimei hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I am just worried."

"I just heard you say that you miss home. How about I go back with you when the weather gets warmer next year?" The emperor changed his tone and spoke softly.
