Chapter 486: The Emperor's Temptation

Shen Xihe's actions made Xiao Huayong's heart feel like a layer of honey, so sweet that his heart was like a drum, so he simply sat down next to her, and looked at her quietly without saying a word.

He always liked this, his eyes were affectionate, and he looked at her with extreme tenderness, and she had noticed it before, as if she was wandering, and always gave her the illusion that heaven and earth were still.

used to look secretly, but now it is open-minded, they are newly married and he has three days to get married, and Shen Xihe is not easy to ask him to deal with political affairs, so he found a comfortable posture, supporting his head with one hand, tilting his head slightly to focus on himself.

She thought it would be better for her to get used to this situation sooner.

The two of them focused on each other, Shen Xihe's eyes were on the handkerchief in his hand, and Xiao Huayong's eyes were on hers.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's clinginess is far more than that, almost wherever Shen Xihe goes, he follows her, his eyes are glued to her, and he can't take his eyes off her at all.

The East Palace is under Xiao Huayong's control, he has not been in the East Palace for more than ten years, no one has the heart to arrange people in the East Palace, and he has the heart to cultivate henchmen in the East Palace little by little, and no one notices the operation for more than ten years.

He suddenly returned to the palace and wanted to arrange it again, but found that there was no shortage of people in the East Palace, and they were cautious one by one, and it was not easy to send one or two people to move out of the vacant seats, so the East Palace was solid, and Shen Xihe did not need to be Liwei to take over.

The people of the East Palace have long been familiar with Shen Xihe, and they have long been mentally prepared for Shen Xihe to become the crown princess.

Jiuzhang handed over the housekeeping to Pearl a long time ago, and because of Shen Xihe's marriage, there were more girls in the East Palace, and it looked a lot brighter.

On the second day of the wedding, Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong wanted to go to the temple early in the morning to worship their ancestors, and they were busy, and the long sacrificial text was read for half an hour.

The two took the incense handed by the inner attendant, and when they were about to kowtow, a few spirit cards in front of them suddenly burst into flames, Xiao Huayong's eyes quickly pulled Shen Xihe into his arms, and saw that the spirit cards were on fire, and immediately stepped forward to extinguish them with their sleeves, and the inner servants also quickly stepped forward, following Xiao Huayong's example, and extinguished the fire on the other spirit cards.

Xiao Huayong took the tablet in his hand, and found that there was tung oil on the base, and the breath was very light, it should have been tung oil yesterday or earlier, but with tung oil, if there is a fire, someone has to set it on fire.

There must have been someone squatting there before, but he and Shen Xihe were both standing far away, so they didn't notice it, and when they got closer, this person set fire to it and ran away from the dark passage.

"Your Highness, what does Your Highness look at?" After a short period of panic, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Siqing maintained order and stepped forward slightly.

Xiao Huayong simply drilled down, stretched out his hand and knocked on the floor, but the echo was not an empty sound, if the tunnel was not here, it was also behind, there was no evidence, Xiao Huayong was not good to remove the ancestral tablet to investigate.

If you can't find out, it won't end well.

"There is tung oil at the base of these tablets, and there are no other tablets, so someone must have done it deliberately." Xiao Huayong handed the tablet in his hand to Zongzheng Siqing, "If there is oil, it must be ignited before it can be burned." ”

Shen Xihe worshiped his ancestors with him, and the token was lit, which was a big taboo, and if he didn't get it right, it would be rumored that the ancestors did not recognize Shen Xihe, and he had to think that this was someone who had harmed him.

Zongzheng Siqing and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu checked, there is indeed tung oil under the spirit card that is on fire, the tung oil has dried, but it is also a light breath, in fact, the tablets are brushed with tung oil, most of them are for maintenance.

"Your Highness doesn't know, these tablets are found to be cracking a few days ago, and Wei Chen ordered someone to brush tung oil to protect them." Zongzheng Siqing replied, "It's been three days. ”

It stands to reason that it has been three days, and it should not be burned lightly, unless it is set on fire, and how can it hide people's ears and eyes, and there are no wrongdoers around it, where does the fire come from?

This has to be kept secret.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were looking at Shen Xihe very vaguely, Xiao Huayong sneered, "This tablet is also quite interesting, it is all the tablets that Zongzheng Siqing happened to send someone to take care of, and they are all people who have nothing to do with loneliness." ”

The tablets are all burned by side branches, not the ancestors of Emperor Youning, but the tablet of King Qian, which is closest to Xiao Huayong, has also been affected.

Everyone looked at it and felt strange, if they wanted to say that the ancestor appeared and did not recognize Shen Xihe, he should also burn the first emperor, but he couldn't have the tablet of the first emperor, and the tablet of the great-grandfather of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also there, and it was the uncle's tablet to warn?

"After removing these tokens, Lone and the crown princess continue to pay tribute to their ancestors." Xiao Huayong ordered.

"Your Highness......"

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu wanted to persuade, but he saw Xiao Huayong's eyes were deep, staring at him calmly and silently, obviously his gaze was not sharp, and he did not exert pressure, but the voice of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stuck in his throat and did not spit out.

"Your Highness, if the token catches fire, you should immediately picket the cause, and continue to worship your ancestors at this time, which is disrespectful to your ancestors and is already unlucky." The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to advise, "Please also ask Your Highness to think twice, and choose another day to choose a good day and an auspicious time to worship your ancestors." ”

"Your Highness think twice, please find another auspicious time." Hula knelt a group of people.

Xiao Huayong swept over them, knelt on the futon with a plop, kowtowed to the token first, and then got up and said, "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the future Xiao Huayong, with the bride Shen, comforts the ancestors, and the daughter-in-law is on the side, hoping that the ancestors will bless you." ”

Seeing that Xiao Huayong insisted, Zongzheng Siqing didn't want to offend Xiao Huayong, and the tablet that was ignited was because of tung oil, and tung oil involved himself, he complied with Xiao Huayong's wishes, removed the tablet that had been burned, and continued to preside over the unfinished ancestor worship.

This time, Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong bowed to their ancestors smoothly, safe and sound, and the wind and waves were calm.

After worshipping the ancestors, Xiao Huayong took Shen Xihe back to the palace and got into the chariot, Xiao Huayong held her hand, "Don't be afraid, I will give you an explanation for this matter." ”

"Your Highness thinks, who did this?" Shen Xihe smiled slightly.

"No matter who does it, if you dare to move the spirit card, there must be your majesty's instructions." Xiao Huayong knew that he didn't say it, and Shen Xihe also knew, "He may want to test me." ”

At that time, seeing King Qian's spirit tablet on fire, Xiao Huayong almost couldn't help but pounce on it, it was Shen Xihe who pulled him, but King Qian's tablet was the farthest away from him, if he pounced like this, it would expose the fact that he knew his life experience.
