In the court, because of Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changyan, Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong were idle for a while, otherwise they would not have time to watch a scene in the Pingyao Marquis Mansion.

The marriage of the second prince Zhao Wang Xiao Changmin was postponed, and the scorching heat in Kyoto was really difficult, so His Majesty set off to the palace.

In the first two years, His Majesty encountered a giant snake in the autumn and was assassinated in the palace, and before leaving this year, after listening to the proposal of Qin Tianjian, His Majesty was ready to go to Huguo Temple to offer incense, and planned to bring the Queen Mother and the princes, and declared that it was to pray for the people.

"Incense?" When Shen Xihe heard the news, he was embroidering Xiao Huayong's newly made clothes with delicate flat leaves.

In the past, Xiao Huayong's clothes were all handled by the Shangfu Bureau, but since the wedding, Shen Xi and the maidservants around him, except for Moyu, have a good needlework, and Xiao Huayong's regular clothes do not need to be handled by the Shangfu Bureau, only the dresses are handled.

"Well, just ask for peace of mind." Xiao Huayong stood aside, one hand behind his back, his exquisitely embroidered apricot-colored robe decorating his long body, his face was gentle, teasing a hundred years old.

Two days ago, Xiao Huayong took advantage of Shen Xihe's absence to let Hai Dongqing take the hundred-year-old out for a walk, and after coming back, the hundred-year-old was much more well-behaved, let it say whatever it wanted, and would never pop out one or two more exclamations that even he had forgotten.

"Peace of mind? If I don't let Your Majesty feel at ease, will he still go to the palace to escape the summer? Shen Xihe stopped what he was doing, his bright eyes soaked in some smiles, and looked at Xiao Huayong.

Xiao Huayong looked back and was full of interest: "How can Yo You make Your Majesty feel uneasy?" ”

"Do you remember the day after our wedding, when His Majesty tacitly agreed to give me a big gift?" Shen Xihe did not answer the rhetorical question.

In order to test whether Xiao Huayong knew his life experience, Emperor Youning set King Qian's tablet on fire, and Shen Xihe has always remembered this account for His Majesty.

"I still remember that you stayed in the incense room for a long time that day, and you spent a lot of time in the incense room for a few days afterward." He remembered everything about her, let alone such a deep memory.

Shen Xihe smiled slightly, gave the pearl a look, the pearl retreated, and soon took a box of incense, the appearance of the incense is the same as the ordinary incense, whether it is color or breath.

Xiao Huayong took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he didn't know why he hadn't seen other incense sticks in the past, in short, he couldn't see any difference from the incense sticks next to him.

"Your Highness looks at it like this, you can't see the difference, even the master of incense may not be able to see it, but Your Highness can order one and try it." Shen Xihe proposed.

Tianyuan has cleverly presented the fire fold, and soon the incense was ignited, Xiao Huayong held it in his hand, the smell of incense was also very ordinary, he didn't deliberately distinguish it, he didn't feel that there was anything different, he could distinguish it, and he just felt a little different, but what the specific difference was, and it was a little impossible to say.

At this moment, Xiang actually jumped away from the spark, so frightened that Tianyuan's face changed, and he was almost about to pounce, even Xiao Huayong was shocked for a moment, his trust in Shen Xihe did not let him throw away the incense, the spark splashed for a while, the incense stopped burning, Xiao Huayong looked left and right, and was stunned to see the reason.

"This ......," his heart pounded.

Don't look at this inconspicuous little trick, if when Your Majesty prays for blessings, he bows down three times, and the incense in his hand is in such a situation, and he jumps away from the spark, and finally the incense is extinguished, this is not a trivial matter.

On that day, Shen Xihe worshiped his ancestors, and the spirit card was on fire, but many people secretly rumored that Shen Xihe was not recognized by the ancestors of the Xiao family. This kind of thing seems to be not worth mentioning, and no one is chasing after it.

However, that day Shen Xihe fought with others to the end, this is the great attack, a woman who has not been recognized by the ancestors of the Xiao family is not a legitimate person, the ministers can recognize Shen Xihe's heirs, but they will not recognize Shen Xihe.

His Majesty buried hidden dangers early to prevent Shen Xihe from becoming the second Martial Emperor.

His Majesty knows his physical condition well, and it is exactly like this, even if he suspects that he knows his background, he is unwilling to tear his face. Why tear your face with a person who is dying, survive to death, die silently, no one can find fault.

Therefore, His Majesty had already suspected Shen Xihe's purpose of marrying him, and with a wave of his hand, he made an inconspicuous opening as soon as possible, which was enough to tear the copper wall at a critical moment.

"With Your Majesty's blessing not being accepted by the heavens, my ancestor worship is not recognized by the Xiao ancestor, so it seems that it is not enough to worry about it." Shen Xihe thought of the hidden dangers of this matter in the future.

Don't underestimate such an inconspicuous thing, if it is really operated well by His Majesty, in order to prevent Shen Xihe from becoming bigger, the Xiao royal family has become the puppet of the Shen family, and His Majesty came to Tuo Gu on his deathbed, and the Shen family will be endangered by Xiao Xiao, and there is no worry that there is no loyal emperor and his faction will die one after another, and ask Shen Xihe to be martyred or have religious power.

No matter how strong Shen Xihe is, she doesn't blink her eyes and sees these people dead, and the imperial power she holds will become a scattered sand, and the imperial court will inevitably have its own thoughts and dissatisfaction with Shen Xihe, and she asks herself if everyone in the entire court is loyal to her.

No one has been able to do it throughout the ages, but it has really been done, and the dynasty is not willing to decline, and there must be different voices in the court, and it must be in a kind of mutual checks and balances in order to move forward.

"Yoyo, give me the incense, and I'll arrange it." Xiao Huayong looked like he couldn't wait to go to Xiangguo Temple.

He looked forward to seeing what it would be like when he had to pray for a blessing.

In fact, Shen Xihe himself can quietly mix the incense into it, and he can also ensure that His Majesty gets the incense that he has done with his hands, but since Xiao Huayong wants to participate in it, in order to make his fun more profound, Shen Xihe handed the incense to Xiao Huayong.

Seeing Xiao Huayong holding the incense, his steps were brisk, and his clothes were flying away, Shen Xihe couldn't help but bow his head a little, and continued to twist the needle to complete this leaf.

"Crown Princess, Concubine Rong sent someone to invite you to Hanzhang Palace." Xiao Huayong hadn't been gone long before Biyu walked in to report.

Shen Xihe raised his eyebrows, quickly flew the needle and threaded, and put the tail away, and then stood up: "Let's go, go and see what tricks the concubine has again." ”

The last time Shen Xihe went to Hanzhang Palace, he tore his face with Concubine Rong, and then Shen Xihe was busy going to the northwest with Xiao Huayong, so he didn't mention the matter of palace power.

Shen Xihe went to Hanzhang Palace, and Concubine Rong also prepared exquisite pastries to entertain her, as if she had forgotten the unpleasantness of the last time.
