I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 401 Heavy rain is coming
That night, Zhao Wei did not return to the palace, but came to Anyefang.

He made the excuse that he had been drinking and needed someone to take care of him, and then stayed in Zhao Paner's room.

Looking at Zhao Wei who stayed in his room and even lay in bed refusing to get up, Zhao Pan'er's face was filled with shyness and helplessness.

"How can you be like this? This is my room, my bed."

Zhao Wei lay on his side on the bed, propping up his head with his hand, and said with a smile: "I know, it's not like I haven't been here before. I missed you so I came here late at night. Now I'm drunk. Do you want me to walk so far back to the palace alone? Aren't you worried about me?"

Drunk?
What drunk man can speak so clearly? !
No one would believe this!

He walked back alone. Isn’t Shuangxi, who lives in the guest room, a human being?
Zhao Pan'er couldn't help rolling her eyes, but she was still soft-hearted and didn't drive Zhao Wei away.

"You can stay, but you are not allowed to mess around."

"What do you mean by messing around?" Zhao Wei looked puzzled, and finally said with a smile: "I just wanted to take a nap, you are overthinking it."

"Just pretend."

Zhao Wei chuckled, reached out and pulled Zhao Pan'er to his side, letting Zhao Pan'er lie beside him. Zhao Pan'er was so scared that she froze.

"Don't be nervous. Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm not that lustful. It's only ten days. I can wait. Besides, if I really wanted you, I would have eaten you long ago."

"You're still talking!" Zhao Pan'er looked shy, but also relaxed.

What Zhao Wei said was right. They had already established a relationship. If Zhao Wei really wanted her, she would ask herself if she knew that he probably would not refuse.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I still want to wait until the day we get married."

"This is natural, so I won't force you. Let's save the best for the most beautiful moment. I'm willing to wait."

"Your Highness, thank you for being so kind to me." Zhao Pan'er said emotionally.

"I am kind to you for a purpose. From now on, you will be the princess of my Han Palace. You will have to manage the palace for me, worry about the interpersonal relationships in the palace, and even deal with my mother and the ladies in the harem. This is not an easy task, but I believe you can handle everything."

Hearing what Zhao Wei said, Zhao Pan'er's face changed, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she finally nodded resolutely: "As long as Your Highness is willing to trust me, I will definitely help Your Highness deal with these things and won't let Your Highness worry about trivial matters in the harem."

Since ancient times, men have been the breadwinners and women have been the homemakers. Although Zhao Pan'er has never been married, she knows her responsibilities as a wife.

If she became Zhao Wei's princess, then these things would be what she should do, so she would not shirk her responsibilities, but would do her best.

Zhao Wei gently scratched the tip of Zhao Pan'er's nose and said softly, "I believe you, Pan'er."

As she spoke, Zhao Pan'er's face suddenly turned red, she screamed, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness..."

Zhao Wei calmly withdrew his hand, hugged Zhao Paner's waist, and said with a smile: "Oops, sorry, my hand slipped."

Feeling the numbness in her chest for a moment, Zhao Paner rolled her eyes again.

"You know how to bully me."

"You are my princess. If I don't bully you, who else do you want me to bully?" Zhao Wei said as if it was a matter of course.

"Don't bully anyone."

Zhao Pan'er rested her head on his chest and hugged Zhao Wei with both hands, with a happy smile on her face.

The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms and soon fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Wei suddenly opened his eyes. He did not disturb Zhao Pan'er, but gently moved her away, then got up from the bed and walked to the window.

The windows were closed, but the wind was howling outside so violently that the tightly closed doors and windows were shaking.

“Bang bang…bang bang…crack!”

The last loud thunder broke through the night sky, illuminating the house.

Zhao Pan'er was awakened, got up from the bed, walked to Zhao Wei's side, and asked nervously, "Your Highness, what happened outside?"

Zhao Wei held her hand and whispered, "It's okay. The wind is blowing. There should be a big storm."

After all, I have lived for so many years and have witnessed too many climate changes. Although I am not as good as a professional meteorologist, I can roughly judge the changes in the weather.

"A storm?"

Zhao Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. It was just a storm and she didn't care too much about it. After all, she had seen storms before. Now they were in the room and there was no need to worry about anything.

Zhao Wei's face was heavy: "This is not an ordinary storm. At this rate, it is likely to cause a disaster. I wonder how many people will be in danger."

In the TV series, it was because of a huge storm that the half-covered faces of Zhao Pan'er and her friends were destroyed. Finally, Zhao Pan'er thought about expanding the business and approached Chi Pan to cooperate in opening a restaurant.

According to the description of the plot, although the storm did not describe the specific casualties and losses, there must have been a lot of deaths and disasters.

After all, teahouse buildings like Banzaimian were destroyed in the storm, not to mention other residential houses.

The inner city of Tokyo was destroyed by the storm, so the villages and farms outside the city must have been even worse.

Zhao Wei was not a saint who was compassionate to the world, but as a prince of the Song Dynasty, he felt extremely heavy and depressed when he thought about the countless people who would suffer because of this storm.

It has to be said that many times, human power is really too fragile in the face of nature.

"Will it be that serious?"

Zhao Pan'er was a little surprised. Although she didn't understand the astronomical phenomena, she knew from Zhao Wei's expression that this storm must be serious.

After all, after knowing each other for so long, this was the first time she saw Zhao Wei with such a heavy expression.

"I hope it's not that serious."

Zhao said this, but he was not optimistic in his heart.

I propped up the window and saw the howling wind outside, which seemed to be uprooting the trees in the courtyard.

Soon, raindrops fell, and as if in the blink of an eye, they became bigger. Raindrops as big as soybeans fell down with a clatter, and the sky and the earth were in chaos.

There were violent storms, lightning and thunder. It was already a dark night, but now it was getting darker. Only when there were lightning and thunder could the light be seen.

Zhao Wei and Zhao Pan'er were standing in front of the window, some distance away from the outside of the courtyard, but even so, rain was blown in. One could imagine how severe the storm was.

“It’s getting heavier.”

Zhao Pan'er's face became a little solemn. She had never seen such a severe storm in her life of more than twenty years.

What's more frightening is that the storm is getting stronger.

She now understood Zhao Wei's worries. If things continued like this, it would indeed cause a serious disaster.

At this moment, Song Yinzhang's voice came from outside the door. "Sister Pan'er, Sister Pan'er..."

Zhao Pan'er thought something had happened and hurried to the door. As soon as she pulled out the door bolt, a gust of wind came out and blew the door open. She took a step back uncontrollably.

Song Yinzhang also staggered and stumbled into the door. The two were about to close the door together when they saw Sun Sanniang and her son Fu Zifang running over in a hurry.

The four of them closed the door against the wind and were about to speak when they saw Zhao Wei in the room.

"Your Highness, you are here too."

Sun Sanniang was a little surprised and hurriedly pulled her son.

Fu Zifang has been in Beijing for some time, but every time he sees Zhao Wei, it's like a mouse seeing a cat.

Now seeing Zhao Wei, he subconsciously hid behind Sun Sanniang, and then followed Song Yinzhang to pay his respects.

Zhao Wei nodded and said with a smile: "I came to talk to Pan'er. Just as I was about to leave, it started to rain. Now I can't leave even if I want to."

Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang just said "oh" and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

As to whether this is the case, they know it very well.

"Crack!"

A thunderclap seemed to ring in his ears. Song Yinzhang hugged Zhao Paner's arm in fear and said, "Sister Paner, the wind and rain are so scary, and there is thunder. I am afraid to sleep."

Fu Zifang nodded frantically in agreement. He was just awakened by the thunder and had gone to seek comfort from Sun Sanniang, but when he heard Song Yinzhang calling Zhao Paner, he followed Sun Sanniang over.

Sun Sanniang was not afraid, but her expression was quite solemn. After all, such a severe storm was rare, and she was a little worried that the half-covered face would be affected.

Zhao Pan'er patted Song Yinzhang's hand and comforted him, "Since you all don't dare to sleep, then stay here. When the storm stops, you can go back and rest."

The three of them naturally had no objection, but now, in this not-so-big room, there was only Zhao Wei, a foreign man, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

However, Zhao Wei had no intention of leaving. He found a place to sit cross-legged and began to practice martial arts as if no one was around.

Zhao Pan'er and the others were talking in low voices, and when they saw that Zhao Wei hadn't moved, they gradually raised their voices.

The storm outside was growing stronger and stronger, and the noise was becoming more and more frightening, but perhaps because there were so many people together, or because of Zhao Wei's presence, the people in the room were not afraid, and Fu Zifang even started to snore.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

The rainstorm outside still did not stop, but became more and more severe. The three women were all affected by the storm. They all looked at the wind and rain outside and couldn't help but worry.

The storm did not stop until dawn. Although the intensity of the wind and rain had weakened a lot, it was still not much different from an ordinary storm.

The amount of rainfall in a few hours was very astonishing. The ground outside the yard was already full of water, and the pond had overflowed early on.

Zhao Wei and the three women walked out of the room, stood under the eaves and looked at the situation outside. The location of their courtyard was good and the structure of the house was solid, but even so, there were some damages in some places.

"This rainstorm is coming with great force. I don't know how many families will be affected." Zhao Pan'er sighed with a serious expression.

Sun Sanniang looked nervous: "Pan'er, will our half-covered face be okay?"

When Zhao Pan'er mentioned the half-masked house, her expression suddenly changed, and she said anxiously, "Oh no, Zhaodi and the others are still living in the half-masked house."

Banzhaimian's business is booming now. Zhao Pan'er and her colleagues have hired several helpers. As it is far from home, they live in Banzhaimian. In order to take care of them, Ge Zhaodi has also lived in Banzhaimian in recent days.

Zhao Wei comforted him, "It's no use for you to be anxious now. Wait until the storm stops before going over to take a look."

He knew that the Banzhaimian would be destroyed in this storm, but Ge Zhaodi and the others were not stupid. If they met Wen Xian, they would probably find a way to save themselves.

As he was speaking, Shuangxi came trotting over, followed by Zhang Haohao and her maid.

"Your Highness."

Zhao Wei nodded and turned to look at Zhang Haohao: "Madam Zhang, are you used to living here?"

"It's a habit. The princess treats me very well."

"It's a habit, but it's definitely not as comfortable as living in your Shuangxi Building. But you won't be able to live here for long. If I remember correctly, you should be married to Huai En in another month."

"Well, thank you very much for this, Your Highness." Zhang Haohao said with genuine gratitude.

She originally thought that she was at most Zhao Huai'en's concubine, but it turned out that not only did she marry Zhao Huai'en as his principal wife, she also received an imperial marriage grant, becoming the lady of honor that she had never dared to dream of before.

Zhao Wei just smiled and then gave Shuangxi a look.

"Let's go."

"Your Highness, it's still raining now. How about we wait until the rain stops?"

"We can afford to wait, but can the people affected by the disaster afford to wait?" Zhao Wei's face turned cold: "Let's go back to the palace first, pack up and go to the palace."

Shuangxi stopped talking, hurriedly found an umbrella, and left Anyefang with Zhao Wei.

The rain didn't stop until the end of the morning. When Zhao Wei and the others returned to the palace, the place was already busy. After all, the palace was so big that there were many stagnant areas that needed to be cleaned up.

He called Xiuyin to ask about it, and learned that the situation in the palace was fine and that Zhao Huai'en and others were already arranging disaster relief matters. He asked a few simple questions and then hurried to the palace.

Nothing serious happened in Prince Han's mansion, but Zhao Pan'er and the others who were half-covered suffered.

When they arrived at Ma Xing Street, many shops on the street had been destroyed by last night's storm, causing heavy losses.

There were collapsed houses everywhere and people sitting on the ground crying, which made Zhao Pan'er and the others feel sad and worried.

It has to be said that their worries were not unreasonable. After they half-covered their faces, they fell into silence instantly.

Like most shops, Banzaimian had more than half of its building collapsed, the ground was in a mess, and many things in the house were blown away. It can be said that it suffered devastating damage.

Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang shed tears of sadness. Although they no longer needed to rely on half-covering their faces to gain a foothold in Tokyo, they still had deep feelings for this place.

After all, it was because of this teahouse that they were able to stay in Tokyo. This was an industry they had put a lot of effort into, but now it has almost gone to zero. One can imagine the grief in their hearts.

However, compared to the TV series, although Zhao Pan'er is sad, she is not to the point of despair.

It is undeniable that this teahouse is very important to her, but now she has someone more important in her heart, so even if the half-covered face is gone, she will not be desperate and afraid.

Relatively speaking, Sun Sanniang is the saddest. She is different from Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang. Zhao Pan'er has a marriage granted by the government and is about to marry into the royal palace. Although Song Yinzhang is not as lucky as Zhao Pan'er, she also has Xiang You as her backer. Looking at the situation of the two, it is estimated that they will enter the stage of discussing marriage soon. But she is alone, and without the half-covered face, she has no source of income. It is difficult for her to support herself, let alone raise a son.

Among the people present, the most relaxed one was Zhang Haohao, who came with Zhao Pan'er. She took one look at the mess in front of her and made the most realistic assessment.

"This half-mask is so damaged that even if we want to repair it, it will take a long time."
