Chapter 132: The Seven Daughters Praying for Rain (2)

The slanting sun shone on the golden dragon on the gate of the palace of Weiyang Palace, emitting a dazzling light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Shaoyuan's task of escorting the eldest princess Liu Huanting has also come to an end, except for the time when Shicai said goodbye to Gao Pet, the eldest princess had a little gaffe, and the rest of the time her gestures were full of the standard etiquette of a princess. Even in the end, he bowed in front of the palace gate to say goodbye to this senior brother.

The two of them pulled out a long shadow on Nansuzaku Street, and Xiao Yue asked, "Official, Xiao Yue has a question to ask." ā€

"Huh?" Shao Yuan said suspiciously, "Let's ask"

"Official, I feel that you seem to be very kind to Her Royal Highness the Princess," Xiao Yue said, holding Shaoyuan's hand

"What's wrong, jealous?" Shao Yuan replied with a smile

"No, Satsuki is not jealous, and she will not be jealous. It's just that I feel that the officials treat the princess as a sister, but the feeling is different, because the officials' eyes occasionally reveal a hint of pity, Xiao Yue and the officials have been together for several months, and when I met the officials at the beginning of last year, we have never had this feeling in the face of the troubled, but I have this kind of look at the princess who is obviously the first time the official has seen Her Royal Highness, and the princess who is dressed in fine clothes and jade food has this kind of look, so Xiao Yue feels strange" Xiao Yue pouted and said

Shao Yuan smiled bitterly: "Is my eyes so obvious, how do you feel that Xiaoyue, you can see so thoroughly?"

Xiao Yue leaned on Shaoyuan's shoulder and said, "My daughter's family is originally more delicate, but I see that today Gao Gongzi has always kept a straight face, but the princess always peeks at Gao Gongzi, and the last one riding a horse, it is clear that Gao Gongzi wants Gao Gongzi to be like an official, but Gao Gongzi is a self-denial from beginning to end, a righteous courtesy of monarchs and ministers"

Shaoyuan frowned, "That's for sure, only Bingluo can make that kid's eyes soften, and it happens that he is in a bad mood today, so Ah Pet must have a straight face." As for the mercy cause, alas, I'll tell you later, let's go, we'll get the horses back to the dart board, and we'll go to dinner again."

Xiao Yue nodded, "That's right, Gao Gongzi and Miss Zhao, they have always only seen each other in their eyes." ā€

The two walked to the dart game, only to see a young man standing outside the stone steps of the dart board, Shaoyuan fixed his eyes and looked at "Ah Pet, you are back"

Gao Pet nodded, "It happened that I met a carriage back to the city on the road, so I asked someone to take a ride, just returned, did the princess go back?"

Shaoyuan nodded, "It's perfectly done, let's go, let's eat, let's go to Qiong Yao Tower, I'll have a treat"

Gao Pet breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's go, maybe a different place, it will help open up ideas"

Shaoyuan said to Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, I also miss it, that Qiong Yao Building, but when I first arrived in Luoyang, I saw the crazy place of this group of people."

The distinguished guests of Qiong Yao Lou are still them, or the familiar location, the familiar private room.

Downstairs, the sound of the piano is still melodious, but the smell of wind and dust is a little heavier.

Xiao Yue said "It's not enough for Sister Ning to play well"

Shao Yuan smiled and said, "Xiao Yue, I think that at the beginning, your sister Ning played the piano here, which led Ruoyun to save the beauty of the hero, and then Ah Pet humiliated the Northwest Ma family thoroughly with his chess skills, and lost more than 2,000 taels of silver."

Gao Pet sighed, "Alas, what's the use of that, it's just a little bit of a battle of will, and now I can't do anything."

Suddenly, the painting style below, suddenly the seven dancers on the stage below danced, Xiao Yue could have danced, and couldn't help but be interested, ran to the window to look at it, and then excitedly pulled Shao Yuan and said, "Official, official, I will dance this way, it seems to be called the Seven Fairies, Xiao Yue can dance to the official."

Shao Yuan shook his head, Gao Pet was not interested at this time, and Shao Yuan didn't dare to rush around, so he could only press Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue pursed her mouth, sat down, and suddenly said, "By the way, official, I know the role of the platform next to Yishui, it turned out that I prayed for rain in a few days, and it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who told me today."

Shaoyuan realized that something was wrong and immediately planned to cover Satsuki's mouth, but Satsuki kept struggling.

"Shaoyuan, it doesn't have to be like this, just let Xiaoyue say it, it's okay" Gao Chong shook his head with a wry smile, after all, this matter actually has nothing to do with the three of them, so what's the matter if you talk about it or not?

Shaoyuan sighed and let go of his hand. Xiao Yue was puzzled, "What's the matter, official, Mr. Gao, is there something wrong with this platform?"

Shaoyuan looked at Gao Chong, Gao Chong nodded, so Shaoyuan said, "Xiaoyue, now in the court, saying that the Son of Heaven is immoral, what do you plan to use to call the dragon with the Seven Dragon Maiden, and you want to sacrifice the seven royal daughters to the Shenlong to wake up the Shenlong." Otherwise, there will be amnesty for the whole world. But I don't think there is any immorality in the saints today, but those corrupt officials and corrupt officials plan to escape from prison by using amnesty, and the emperor intends to punish these people even if he wants to sacrifice the princess.

Xiao Yue suddenly realized, "So that's why you showed a look of pity today, official, it turned out to be a dying person." And that's why Gao Gongzi, you have a straight face today? I thought it was some other reason."

Shao Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded: "Anyone who sees such a flower-like little girl actually have to sacrifice her life for a ridiculous prayer for rain will feel pity, especially because it is necessary to sacrifice such a little girl to kill those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, this is really unbearable." ā€

Gao Chong smiled bitterly, "The emperor doesn't want to sacrifice the princess, and we naturally have to share our worries, although it is not a pity for corrupt officials to die, but to sacrifice an innocent person, this is what I don't want to see." I have learned from a high pet, but I can't even save a person, what is the use of my ability?"

Xiao Yue thought for a while, "I remember that there are similar customs near my hometown, and there is such a nursery rhyme, you listen to me chanting, 'Seven women pray, seven women rise, singing and dancing to call the dragon.'" Three days of singing, three days of smelling, the silk of nectar comes with the wind', we are looking for seven women in the village, seven families to make a candle, put it on a stone, and then seven people dance around the stone, dance for three days, wake up the dragon king, pray for a good new year"

Shaoyuan was also puzzled, "Oh, I really haven't heard of Xiaoyue, where is your hometown, Xiaoyue?"

Xiao Yue said embarrassedly, "It's near Chongzhou"

Shaoyuan suddenly remembered, so he asked Gao Chong, "Ah Pet, what you say too often, is it actually a result of his divination?"

Gao Pet thought for a while, "That's right, so understandable"

Shao Yuan then asked, "What if the divination is too often?"

Gao Pet shook his head, "How is it possible, the result is all in his own control, right or wrong, all in his own words"

Shaoyuan shook his head, "No, no, no, Ah Pet, I'm not wrong, it's just a little inaccurate"

Gao Zhong frowned, realizing that Shaoyuan must have something to say, and grabbed Shaoyuan excitedly, "Shaoyuan, you must have something to point, don't sell Guanzi, come quickly"

Shaoyuan broke away from Gao Pet, "Calm down, I'm thinking, since we are also the Seven Daughters praying for rain, and Xiaoyue's hometown is also the Seven Girls praying for rain, they can wake up the Dragon King by dancing, why do we want to sacrifice the living? Could it be that Lord Taichang understood the deviation, so he said that he wanted to sacrifice the living?"

Gao Zhong laughed, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Why didn't I think of it! Shaoyuan, Xiaoyue, please be favored by Gao"

Shaoyuan hurriedly picked up Gao Pet and said, "Don't don't, there's another key to this plan, we can't just say that the adult is wrong, if so, it will force the adult to jump over the wall in a hurry, bite yourself to death, isn't it troublesome?"

Gao Zhong nodded, "It makes sense, this one has to think of a way, and if you fight back, you have to let this matter cover the coffin."

Shaoyuan asked, "In this way, Ah Pet, can you use your plan in Xiakou?"

Gao Pet shook his head, "It's difficult, Luoyang is several times better than the summer mouth, and there are many ears and eyes, word of mouth, it is easy to have flaws, and this is too common, ordinary people don't know astrology and hexagrams, how do you know that it is too often wrong?"

Shaoyuan and Gao Pet fell into deep thought at the same time, this is the key to the problem, and if you break through this, you can easily solve it.

Suddenly, Xiao Yue said timidly, "Official, Gao Gongzi, in fact, the emperor said that it is too often wrong, isn't it okay?"

Gao Zhong shook his head, "The emperor doesn't know astrology and hexagrams, this seems unlikely"

Shao Yuan suddenly stopped, "What if you say that the dragon king entrusts dreams to the emperor? The emperor is originally the true dragon emperor, and the ancestors entrust dreams to their descendants, it should be no problem, right?"

Gao Zhong nodded, "That's right, but I'm afraid that the courtiers will talk about it."

Satsuki suddenly asked, "What about the children?"

Shaoyuan was puzzled, "What do children understand?"

Xiao Yue wondered, "Singing nursery rhymes, didn't we often sing nursery rhymes when we were children? Three days of singing, three days of smelling, the silk nectar comes with the wind, I will sing it once I listen to it"

Gao Pet suddenly laughed, "Shaoyuan, Xiaoyue is really your virtuous helper, this time I have contributed a lot, Xiaoyue, that dance to pray for rain, will you still dance?"

Xiao Yue's face was puzzled, "Yes, it's very simple"

Shaoyuan frowned, "Ah pet, have you figured out a way?"

Gao Zhong nodded: "We let the emperor say that he was entrusted by the emperor to a dream and granted the method of praying for rain." Then let the children in the nearby states and counties sing Xiaoyue's nursery rhyme together, and then tell them that if someone asks who taught it, they will say that they are taught by a person in a dream, and then teach the princess this kind of dance and nursery rhyme, and the princess also said that it will also wake up one night, so word of mouth, without a trace, the same seven women pray for rain, how can the first emperor dream be stronger than too often!"

When the two of them heard this, they both nodded, and Shao Yuan said, "Without further ado, we will enter the palace right away."

Gao Chong shook his head, "It's night, the palace gate has been closed, we don't have the emperor's edict, we can't enter the palace"

Shao Yuan smiled and took out a gold token, "Ah pet, I think this gold medal should be used at this time, right?!"
