The children of the clan on horseback were all trembling a little under Xiao Shaotang's gaze, and they all lowered their heads, lest they be regarded as the culprit.

On the one hand, the Imperial Forest Army had already pulled the horse down, and Xiao Shaofan, who was paralyzed with his hands and feet, was also taken to his carriage by the king of Anxi, who hated iron and steel.

Xiao Shaotang glanced around, and did not ask in vain, and when he went back, someone would report to him the person who caused the riot.

Because the emperor's imperial chariot was in front, the speed of the procession was not fast at all, and the person who deliberately made Xiao Shaofan startle the horse, whether it was instructed by the emperor or not, his intentions were extremely vicious.

If he bumps into him, he and Xiao Shaofan will definitely be punished by the emperor openly, if he dodges away, and Xiao Shaofan bumps into it, then the king of Anxi County will definitely have a gap with him, and even wonder if he deliberately dodged it, after all, he is the one who walks in the forefront of the children of the clan - this account, after it is found out, it must be calculated carefully!

Xiao Shaotang retracted his cold gaze and showed a gentle smile:

"Your brothers' mounts were frightened just now, but fortunately they didn't cause any trouble, and there is less than half the way to go, so you should be careful. ”

There was no reprimand, and there was no harsh reprimand, this gentle tone that was completely inconsistent with the cold gaze just now made most of the clan children very surprised, it is said that if this matter is put on them, how can they find out the culprit and reprimand him angrily, lest the emperor know that he is to blame himself.

Sure enough, he is the son of King Qin, the god of war, who is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he is quite open-minded, not to mention that he is so vigorous, this is the real demeanor of the children of the Xiao family - when Xiao Shaotang turned around, the eyes of everyone behind him had changed from fear to admiration and envy.

Only one of them rode on his horse, forcibly hiding the panic in his eyes.

The things that the emperor explained were actually messed up, isn't this Xiao Shaotang a straw bag who will only please the emperor?

The rest of the way everyone was extremely cautious and cautious, and they arrived at the Taimiao Temple safely and securely.

Taimiao is located in the east of the city, more than 130 zhang long, 100 zhang wide, covers a vast area, glazed tiles shine with dazzling light in the winter sunshine, the agarwood and golden silk nanmu used as beams are countless, the front, middle and rear three halls are pasted with gold and painted flowers, exquisite and magnificent, the ancient cypress in the temple is shady, simple and pale, and the majestic hall exudes the heavy vicissitudes of time together with the towering hall.

The Great Qi Taimiao was built after Taizu ascended the throne, it has a history of 100 years, but it is still magnificent, standing here solemnly and calmly, facing the capital in the distance, enshrined the meritorious royal family god and the meritorious hero of the different surname, whether it is the royal family, the concubine, or the meritorious hero, after death can enter the Taimiao, it is the supreme glory.

The accompanying ministers and clansmen have also followed almost every year, and they have mastered all the sacrificial ceremonies, and the beginning of a series of ceremonies of lighting incense and candles have been carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the king of Zongzheng Anxi, until the time of the incense, Xiao Shaotang, who was kneeling at the back of the main hall, suddenly heard a panicked cry in front of the incense case, he looked up slightly, and saw the emperor with his back to everyone, but his arms stopped in mid-air!

That low cry was quickly suppressed, but Xiao Shaotang caught a glimpse of the king of Anxi County lighting incense and handing it to the emperor - when worshipping ancestors, the emperor needs to pay homage three times, and this time, it is already the fourth time!

Xiao Shaotang's eyes swept around, and many people in the hall had already seen the clues, and their faces were shocked-the incense that the emperor gave to his ancestors was broken!

At this time, the emperor in front of the incense case also had trembling hands and a pale face, in his past and present lives, no matter which time he worshipped his ancestors, this kind of thing had never happened!

Fathers, fathers, fathers, what does this mean?!

The emperor's yin owl's gaze immediately stared at the king of Anxi who was respectfully honoring the main priest, and the king of Anxi knelt on the ground with a pop, and his panicked appearance suddenly caused everyone's side eyes!

"Idiot!"

The Emperor gritted his teeth - this idiot, didn't he know that he should stay calm at this time and not let people see anything unusual?

However, the king of Anxi County was like a stupid home, and he didn't understand the emperor's meaning at all, but kowtowed to the tablets of the emperors of the past dynasties in a sad and panicked manner, and the sound of his forehead snorting on the floor spread throughout the hall, and no matter how slow the reaction was, he knew that something was wrong!

The ancestor worship ceremony was only chaotic for a moment, and the ministers kneeling outside the main hall immediately noticed that something was unusual, Song Wenru Huo Ran raised his head, and was about to get up and rush to the main hall, but Zhao Shizhen pulled the corner of his robe:

"Why are you going to Lord Song?"

A cold wind rushed in his face, Song Wenru's mind suddenly cleared up, but his heart sank to the bottomless abyss - in the four years of Xihe, unprecedented disasters occurred frequently, and now, there is a problem with ancestor worship, is God really dissatisfied with the emperor?

He can't go in, and he must not appear in front of the emperor who may have been furious at this moment!

Although the ancestor worship ceremony continued, on the way back, everyone felt a low and breathless atmosphere, those who understood what was going on trembled, and those who knew nothing wanted to inquire but did not dare to speak, so they could only speculate in their hearts.

Even on the way back, no one made any waves.

When Xiao Shaotang returned to King Qin's Mansion, he saw Bai Chenghuan looking at the gate of Chang'an Residence from a distance.

"You're back. ”

The woman standing in the wind finally relieved her worries, and with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, a very ordinary greeting washed away all the things that had been superimposed on his mind - it was wonderful to be back from outside the country and have someone to greet him.

He shook her hand, and the cold aura on his body dissipated:

"I'm back. ”

All the tenderness and sweetness flowing are in these two simple sentences.

Shao Hui stood aside and looked at them, and also smiled and lowered her head, the prince and the princess finally looked like a real couple.

The two went back to the inner room hand in hand, a hot air with a fragrant fragrance came to their faces, driving away all the cold, Bai Chenghuan personally sent hot tea, and there was a little doubt between his eyebrows:

"Nothing happened along the way, did you?"

With the emperor's heart, how can he not make trouble?

Xiao Shaotang was silent for a moment, and his tone became solemn:

"When I went, there was a little accident...... But those are all trivial things, when the emperor entered the incense today, the incense was broken, and this year, it was probably not good. ”

The incense is broken?

"The emperor's incense to worship his ancestors was actually broken?"

Xiao Shaotang heard her repeat this sentence in shock, but later, he heard a mocking sneer:

"Providence, it's really providence, he is so mediocre that the ancestors of the Xiao family can't tolerate him!"
