Early in the morning, the officials of the Mingzhou Mansion shouted along the street with gongs: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince will pray for rain in the Dragon King Temple at the end of the day!" ”

"Bell! His Royal Highness the Second Prince will pray for rain at the Dragon King Temple today! ”

"Bell! ...........”

After a while, all the people in the streets and alleys walked out of the door, and there was a lot of discussion......

"I heard that the emperor and the eldest prince begged for rain a while ago......"

"Yes, the emperor can't ask for it, but the second prince can't ask for it?"

A middle-aged man with a dark face interrupted: "Let's not talk about whether we can ask for rain, it depends on the dedication of His Highness to the people of Mingzhou for the sake of our people in Mingzhou, we should also support and support." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The people who questioned at first were silent, and the others nodded in agreement, so they walked towards the Dragon King Temple together.

When I arrived at the place, I found that the temple of the Dragon King, which had been uncleaned and worshipped for three months, had been completely renewed: the statue of the god had been wiped smooth and shiny, the cobwebs on the beams had been cleaned up, fresh fruits and grains had been placed on the altar, and three sticks of sandalwood had smoke curling in the incense burner........

The second prince was kneeling motionless under the statue, his eyes were pious, his hands were folded, and he was constantly praying for rain in his mouth......

When everyone saw this, they all knelt outside the temple gate reverently, bowing their heads and chanting silently.

After burning a stick of incense, Xiao Mingyan got up and said to the official beside him: "Please come out of the temple." ”

The official looked solemn, the four of them carried the statue of the dragon king and walked steadily at the four bottom corners, and the people outside spontaneously gave way to a wide road, Xiao Mingyan led the way in front, and Shen Changfen, the parent official, suppressed the statue behind the statue, and the people followed closely.

The group walked around the streets and alleys and disaster fields with a reverent expression, and finally returned to the altar of the West Market.

Xiao Ming ordered the servants to enshrine the statue of the Dragon King at the top of the altar, and then walked down respectfully, and stripped off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles.

"Dragon King Heavenly God, Lei Gong, Flash General, Feng Po, Lei Mu, can you see the suffering of the people of Mingzhou? Xiao Ming, a descendant of the world, is willing to live for ten years, pray for rain for the people, save the common people from danger, and wish the Dragon King to be fulfilled! ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to the statue of the dragon king......

After the three heads were knocked out, there was blood on their foreheads, which showed their fierceness and sincerity.

Xiao Mingyan didn't seem to feel the pain, and continued: "Dragon King Heavenly God, Lei Gong, Flash General, Feng Po, Lei Mu, can you see the suffering of the people of Mingzhou? Xiao Ming, a descendant of the world, is willing to live for ten years, pray for rain for the people, save the common people from danger, and wish the Dragon King to be fulfilled! ”

Then there were three more rings.

At this time, traces of blood had oozed from Xiao Mingyan's forehead, scattering outward along his forehead.

Xiao Mingyan clasped his hands together and said again: "Dragon King Heavenly God, Lei Gong, Flash General, Feng Po, Lei Mu, can you see the suffering of the people of Mingzhou?" Xiao Ming, a descendant of the world, is willing to live for ten years, pray for rain for the people, save the common people from danger, and wish the Dragon King to be fulfilled! ”

The last three heads knocked down, and Xiao Ming's smooth forehead was already dripping with blood......

Almost all the people behind him "hissed" and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.......

Several women and children were already in tears, and the men were almost all red-eyed.

Wen Xi secretly wiped away the overflowing tears, walked to Xiao Mingyan's side, and raised his voice in front of everyone: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince empathizes with the suffering of the people, and is willing to live for ten years in exchange for smooth weather and good grain, in order to show sincerity, His Royal Highness decided to pray for rain here for three days, in order to ask the Dragon King for mercy!" ”

"Your Highness........ Never......"

"Your Highness can't, we're just ordinary people, how can we let Your Highness suffer such a big crime......"

"Yes, Your Highness, if you don't eat or drink when praying for rain, if it's three days, we can't stand it as coolies, Your Highness's noble body and body, how can you bear it......"

The people below seem to be left behind whether it can rain at the moment, and only care about whether Xiao Mingyan's body can stand it.

Xiao Mingyan didn't speak, just knelt down under the altar upright, but there was a slight wave in his heart......

Originally, it was just a form of praying for rain, but it received such care and concern from the people, such a feeling I have never had, it seems to be moved, it seems to be a responsibility, and it seems to be a kind of spontaneous warmth......

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the people had no choice but to kneel silently behind Xiao Mingyan.......

Chang Jinghou Mansion.

"Miss, guess who I saw when I went out to get a snack just now?"

"Who?"

"It's Miss Two......"

Gu Chuhuan smiled: "What's there to make a fuss about? ”

"Miss, you forgot, didn't the second miss be punished by the Hou Ye a few days ago and went to the Taoist temple on the mountain to reflect? It was only a few days before she secretly ran back, and the young lady had to tell Hou Ye to go quickly. ”

Gu Chuhuan thought about it, shook his head and said: "Forget it, the court has been busy recently, and my father has lost a lot of weight, which is more tiring than letting him go into battle to kill the enemy, how can I let him be sad about these little things!" ”

"Miss," Chun Tao pouted: "You are soft-hearted, you let her go today, I don't know if she will leave a way for Miss to live in the future!" ”

Gu Chuhuan looked at Chun Tao: "This is the last time, if they are calm from now on, then they will be fine, if they are not happy anymore, I can't just take care of my father and wronged myself." ”

"Miss, wasn't what happened last time serious enough? They were bent on dealing with Miss, if it weren't for that Dao Yan Mage's defection, I'm afraid that Miss's life would not be so easy! ”

Gu Chuhuan sighed in his heart, he didn't pursue the last incident, in the final analysis, it was because he was soft-hearted and felt that he didn't hurt himself, so Ye Zihan was also punished to the Taoist Temple for reflection, because he also gently brought it after he learned the truth, so as not to make it too difficult for his father.

"Okay Chun Tao," Gu Chuhuan naughtily stretched out three fingers: "I swear, this is the last time." ”

Chun Tao nodded with satisfaction, as if she remembered something, covered her mouth and asked with a smile: "Miss, are you and that Xiao Gongzi going to be better than each other?" ”

Gu Chuhuan was stunned for a moment, knowing that Chun Tao was thinking wrong, and replied seriously: "For him, for me, no." ”

"Why can't Chun Tao understand Miss's words?"

"Didn't I tell you who he really was last time? He wants to win over my dad through me, so he wants to be good friends with me. I superficially agreed, but I also wanted to know his movements so that I could prevent it from happening......"

Gu Chuhuan carefully analyzed Chun Tao, and did this in the hope that Chun Tao would not be wrong, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future.

Chun Tao understands it, but what she doesn't understand is that Xiao Gongzi is a talented person and has a deep affection for his own young lady, why doesn't this young lady look down on others?
