Before going to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, Emperor Youning finally implemented the marriage between Xiao Changfeng and Shen Yingwen, the two daughters of the king of the northwest, one became the concubine of the East Palace, and the other married the prince of hereditary replacement, the only son inherited the family business, and will be the king of the northwest in the future.

I couldn't help but think that if Shen Xihe gave birth to a son-in-law and became the emperor's grandson, the Shen family would ...... Immeasurable.

"Cooking oil over fire." These days, Shen Xihe has also heard the words that have been circulated with the marriage of the two, and even some people are secretly saying that the Shen family is too sharp.

Thinking about it, this is also the second reason why His Majesty gave Shen Yingwen and Xiao Changfeng a marriage, the more in the limelight, the more people who are really sober will avoid the Shen family, and only those who tend to be inflammatory.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to reputation, and thinks that others are the same." Xiao Huayong let out a chuckle from his nose.

Shen Xihe also laughed, their husband and wife actually didn't care much about reputation.

And these rumors will soon disappear without a trace, today.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the blessing is about to begin, please go with the two highnesses." As soon as he thought of this, someone outside came to invite Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong.

Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong glanced at each other, they went with the people sent by the Ministry of Rites, Your Majesty's blessing is a big deal, in order to make the whole process without a trace of mistakes, many details of the Ministry of Rites and the Taishi Supervisor cooperated with the monks of Xiangguo Temple to practice for a long time, Your Majesty and Xiao Huayong were followed by a person from the Taishi Eunuch, reminding in a low voice.

Everything went smoothly, until Xiao Huayong, Shen Xihe and others stood in front of the high platform surrounded His Majesty, His Majesty held the incense with both hands, and after three bows, he stood up and was about to step forward to insert the incense into the incense burner, when he suddenly splashed sparks to the incense, and as soon as His Majesty took it off, the incense of the blessing fell to the ground.

There were also some sparks splashed on the ground, and they all went out in an instant.

This time to Xiangguo Temple to pray for blessings, His Majesty ordered not to disturb the people, the people can still come to the temple to pray normally, but through layers of search, many people are not in a hurry and afraid of the government, naturally choose another day.

Some people are really anxious to seek peace of mind, and some are bold to see the holy face, so there are still people coming to Xiangguo Temple, the front of the treasure hall is an open road, surrounded by guards holding spears, but there are also people who try to peek, as long as there is no overstepping will not be driven away, no one thought that His Majesty's incense would go out of such a fork.

I don't know that the imperial ministers who came with him saw it with their own eyes, and even some ordinary people saw it.

The people of the time believed in these very much, and when they saw that the incense that His Majesty prayed for was inexplicably spewing out sparks and falling to the ground, they felt that this was a great foreboding, and that something bad would happen, and for a while they were frightened and discussed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, General Jin Wuwei Zhenbei Hou immediately sent people to evacuate the people, and warned them, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward and trembled and said: "Your Majesty, there is Venus in incense, this is the call of great luck......

Such a contrary remark, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu can say it, and others have to echo it.

Only Emperor Youning's face was very bad, and his heart suddenly felt a little empty and panicked, always feeling that something wrong was going to happen, this time it was a blessing on the surface, but in fact, because the previous two years were not smooth, so he wanted to ask for peace of mind.

In the end, it was the emperor, he followed the echo of the ministers, took the incense handed over by Xuqing again, and was determined to carry out the ceremony.

This time, Emperor Youning did not throw it away, but pinched the incense in his hand, and watched it spark and extinguish it in an instant.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu swallowed his saliva, and he didn't know how to break it.

The others were even quieter as chickens, and Xuqing stepped forward: "Amitabha, can Your Majesty take a look at the incense with the poor monks." ”

Emperor Youning gave the incense to Xuqing, Xuqing carefully checked the incense, and asked people to take out the incense in the incense box.

Xuqing took out three, lit them himself, and waited for the incense to burn, but the incense burned more than halfway, and nothing happened to Fang Cai, and now the ministers lowered their heads even lower.

Especially Xiao Huayong and others are incense with His Majesty, the incense in their hands is about to burn out, and no one is like Emperor Youning, there is not only one reasonable explanation: God does not bless Your Majesty!

Shen Xihe glanced at Xiao Huayong, he didn't expect that he could also insert people into Xiangguo Temple, if she came, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it so perfectly, there was no problem with the incense, the problem was with the person who handed the incense, this person was obviously holding the incense box with both hands, but the incense with the problem and the incense without the problem could be switched freely.

With a clear heart, Xiao Huayong turned his head and his eyes were full of smiling and a hint of pride in asking for praise, and his eyes were staggered with Shen Xihe's touch.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on this unbelievable matter, and no one noticed the brief exchange between the husband and wife.

"There are gods in the sky, there are emperors in people, Your Majesty is the emperor of people, and it should be on a par with the sky, this may be that the gods and Buddhas in the sky dare not accept the gift of Your Majesty." When the atmosphere was at its most stagnant, Xiao Changmin, the second prince, suddenly spoke.

"What His Royal Highness King Zhao said is extremely true."

"Your Majesty deserves to be on par with the sky."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worship God and ask Buddha."

Not everyone believes in Buddhism, such as Shen Xihe, there are not a few people like Shen Xihe, many people agree with Xiao Changmin's remarks, and they are not afraid that this is the land of Buddhism, so they are a little disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas, and the county officials are not as good as the current management, in their opinion, their glory and wealth are tied to Your Majesty's body, and Your Majesty is naturally the person they should maintain and flatter.

"Your Majesty is honorable, and you don't dare to be worshiped by Your Majesty three times, so why not pray for His Majesty on behalf of His Majesty." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also immediately saw the stitches, and His Majesty had to reveal this matter.

Fortunately, there was a step down, Emperor Youning didn't pursue it for the time being, he got out of the way and said to Xiao Huayong: "Prince, you pray for me to be blessed." ”

Xiao Huayong naturally stepped forward, Emperor Youning raised his hand, and the little novice who handed the incense respectfully handed the incense to Emperor Youning, and Emperor Youning personally lit it and handed it to Xiao Huayong's hand, Xiao Huayong caught it with both hands, and nothing abnormal happened after three bows, and this prayer barely ended smoothly.

But somehow, the matter of His Majesty's blessing on that day was spread widely, and various versions throughout Kyoto said it with noses and eyes, as if everyone said it with their own eyes, and the most was to question whether God blessed His Majesty.

"You did it." Shen Xihe is sure that it is Xiao Huayong, because only Xiao Huayong, who knows in advance, can arrange it so quickly.

"Let Your Majesty also taste what it is like to be talked about." Xiao Huayong smiled slightly.

"What's the matter with incense?" Shen Xihe asked.

Xiao Huayong smiled and handed her an incense box, Shen Xihe took it and looked at it carefully, only to find that there was a secret compartment, which could be turned over with a light flick, and another identical incense was tied on the other side.
