Li Yaoqin made up her mind, and slowly approached Shen Qiujun to strike up a conversation. First they talked about the weather, then about the scenery in the garden, and then talked about some common things. To outsiders, the two of them seemed to be laughing and talking to each other. The conversation was very pleasant.
Although Shen Qiujun was puzzled by Li Yaoqin's sudden show of affection, the troops were coming to stop the water and the soil would be flooded. In addition, she also had some small thoughts of her own, so she was not warm to Li Yaoqin, but she was not indifferent either.
Seeing the faint scars on Li Yaoqin's neck, Shen Qiujun sighed: "The ointment from Taiyuan Hospital is well-deserved. It seems that in less than two months, it will be completely healed and there will be no scars at all."
When Li Yaoqin heard what Shen Qiujun said, she couldn't help but put her hand on her neck, and said with a guilty smile: "Fortunately, I got those ointments, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to be locked up at home for a while."
Shen Qiujun just smiled lightly. Everyone pretended to be confused about that matter, and talked about it tacitly without discussing it in depth. And she and Li Yaoqin were not close, and they were both unmarried, so it was not good to be here. Things go round and round.
Li Yaoqin said with a smile: "Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be rewarded with bad deeds. It's not that there will be no retribution, but the time has not come yet! Those who do evil and harm others should also receive some retribution."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help but be stunned. Hearing these words, it seemed that the prince was going to be in trouble, but why didn't he have such a thing in his mind?
Oh, yes, in my previous life, I had already married into the palace of Prince Xian. Prince Xian, for some unknown reason, rarely talked to me about court matters.
Of course, he just said it, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, because he was busy making up for the shortfall, and Sister Lan was too heartbroken because of the loss of her mother, the weather was hot, and she didn't want to eat, which made her talk and get angry. She couldn't eat, but Brother Gui didn't know why. She kept crying at night, seeking medical advice, praying to gods and divination, but nothing worked. She had no choice but to cry with Brother Gui while having various treatments done. It's delicious. I beg Sister Lan to eat more. She doesn't know anything about the things outside.
Shen Qiujun had put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "I often hear people praise you for being smart and talented. I didn't expect you to know how to predict divination?"
When Li Yaoqin saw that Shen Qiujun reacted as he expected, he no longer doubted her identity.
Li Yaoqin hurriedly laughed and said: "How do I understand that? I'm just begging God to open my eyes. I can understand the cycle of heaven and cause and effect."
Shen Qiujun nodded, but he didn't believe it in his heart. Since Li Yaoqin said so, I'm afraid the prince would have something wrong. In this case, the sixth prince would have a good opportunity to seek refuge with the prince.
As soon as Shen Qiujun returned home with her mother, Shen Lijun ran over in a panic.
Mrs. Shen was shocked when she saw this and hurriedly asked her daughter what happened.
Shen Lijun said with tears in her eyes: "I don't know why, Brother Gui started crying as soon as midnight, and he didn't feel better until dawn. It has been three or four days, and the imperial doctors are at their wits' end. They want to invite Mr. Xin to come with him. look. "
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly asked someone to tell Mr. Xin, and said hurriedly: "Even the imperial doctor couldn't see anything wrong. Could it be that his child's eyes are clean and he saw something he shouldn't have seen."
Hearing this, Shen Lijun hesitated for a while and said, "A few days ago, a servant was scolded for misbehaving. After the wet nurse took him out, she took a look at him. I wonder if this has something to do with it?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen couldn't help complaining to her daughter: "You are too careless. If a new child is added to the family and does not do good deeds, then if people have any trouble, they will just throw them to the village. Why are they still fighting? Already."
Shen Lijun said hurriedly: "It's too late to say anything now, and it may not be the cause of this. My mother has given birth to us brothers and sisters, so she is naturally very experienced. I also ask my mother to come with me."
Even if Shen Lijun didn't mention it, Mrs. Shen couldn't safely wait for the news in the Shen Mansion. Once Mr. Xin had packed up, Mrs. Shen told Shen Qiujun a few more words, and then they went to Prince Xian's Mansion together.
Shen Qiujun knew that Brother Gui would be safe and sound in the end, so he didn't take it too seriously. At night, Mrs. Shen sent someone back again and said: Let's stay with Shen Lijun for a few nights at Prince Xian's Mansion. Leave it to Shen Qiujun to handle.
Now the Sixth Prince was so happy that he went to Shen's house several times a day. If it weren't for cursing the little baby, the Sixth Prince would rather have Brother Gui be sick for a few more days.
The King Xian also felt sorry for his son who kept crying every midnight, so he had been upset and angry these past few days. Now that he saw Mrs. Shen personally sitting in charge, and Mr. Xin was here, he felt a little relieved and went to the front yard to deal with his affairs. Come.
Arriving at a small, remote courtyard, King Xian saw the rather embarrassed Taoist Master Kong Miao as soon as he entered. He couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The Taoist Master has magical powers. Why are you still here after three or four days?"
It turned out that King Xian's people finally found the whereabouts of Taoist Master Kongmiao a few days ago, so Xia Liang led his people to capture him that day.
King Xian was very angry in Japan during this period, and the weather was hot, so he was inevitably upset. Remembering that he had been played by him before, he couldn't help but step forward and give him a good beating, but he didn't want to surprise his son. I had to put him aside temporarily for the past few days.
Taoist Master Kongmiao laughed and said: "Your Majesty is someone who wants to achieve great things. If I follow Your Majesty, I will be prosperous in the future. Why should Pindao leave? This place is very good."
The wise king sneered: "If that's the case, why did you leave without saying goodbye that day and run away?"
Taoist Master Kong Miao narrowed his eyes and sneered: "If I hadn't calculated it on a whim that day, I'm afraid that the prince wouldn't listen to my explanation at all, but would have sent someone to kill me directly. How could I sit back and wait for death? .”
"Oh, then today the Taoist Master will explain it to me. I won't let you go as soon as I am happy." The wise king mocked.
Taoist Kongmiao ignored the sarcasm from the wise king and said sternly: "Although the prince is the one destined by fate, after all, he has violated the Three Steels and Five Permanences. Naturally, he will be tested by God many times and suffer some hardships. As of last time, Pindao The calculation is inaccurate because an alien star appeared and disrupted the situation."
The wise king hurriedly asked: "Whose body should the alien star be in?"
Taoist Kongmiao shook his head and said: "We are already in the capital, but we need to see him before we can really confirm."
The wise king heard this and sneered: "Do you think I will still believe your lies?"
Taoist Kongmiao smiled and said: "Pindao is telling the truth. It's up to the prince to believe it or not. However, sometimes even gods may not be able to fully control things in the world, let alone Pindao! At the moment, Pindao has deduced two things. You can tell the prince so that he can verify it."
"What is it?" King Xian asked hurriedly.
Taoist Kongmiao said with certainty: "On the first day of the next lunar month, a corner of the Ancestral Temple will collapse."
When the wise king heard this, his expression became serious. He walked around the room several times, stood in front of Kong Miao and asked, "Are you accurate?"
Seeing Kong Miao nodding, the wise king asked again: "What is the other thing?"
Kong Miao smiled and said, "It's not too late to wait until this thing comes true."
The Xian King was still hesitant. Seeing this, Kong Miao smiled and said, "Now that I am in the house, I can kill or behead myself, and it is up to the prince. What else can the prince not believe?"
After hearing this, the wise king said to the guards: "Take good care of the Taoist priest. If anything happens, no wonder I am cruel."
The guards hurriedly agreed, and the wise king walked out quickly and went to the outer study. After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind and called his confidants to come in and plan it carefully.
On this day, the Sixth Prince was leisurely eating fruits in the Shen Mansion. Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "Last night, Liu Yushi was beaten, was it you who did it? He just impeached you the day before yesterday: Last time I prayed for Taizu's death. My heart was so dishonest that there was a severe drought this year."
The Sixth Prince smiled contentedly and said, "What does it have to do with me if it doesn't rain? They take the salary from the court and don't talk about sharing the king's worries or making troubles. They just bite people randomly and don't teach them a lesson. Anyway, he can't catch him. If you find out about me, you can only consider yourself unlucky."
Shen Qiujun smiled and said: "He is quite courageous!"
"That's right," the Sixth Prince nodded in agreement, and then asked doubtfully: "But why did Hao Duan Duan get involved in this matter again? If it doesn't rain, there will be Qin Tian Jian. Qin Tian Jian begs not to rain. Could it be that Taizu is among them? Is it possible to block things?"
Shen Qiujun also felt strange. Could this be what Li Yaoqin said was going to happen to the prince?
At this time, the ministers were reminded by Liu Yushi's words, and they all said: Taizu Mingshou should not be frugal, God must be angry because of this.
The emperor was complaining in his heart. In order to unify the Central Plains, Daqi had to fight in the east and west for many years, which cost a lot. However, there have been natural disasters in recent years. Last year, Taizu's death was not an integer, so he was considerate of the situation and used it as appropriate. It was simplified, but now he was accused by the ministers of being unfilial. If he wanted to replace it, it would cost a lot of money. But if he didn't, it would be his own fault.
At this time, the prince stood up and said: "The great ancestor has always been virtuous and benevolent, and he loves the people like a son. I am afraid that the old man in heaven does not know about this matter. My son is willing to go to the Ancestral Temple to report to the great ancestor on behalf of his father and ask him to go." The Dragon King is here to ask for rain for the people of Qi."
The emperor couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and was pleased with his son's thoughtfulness. After Xu Jie heard about it, he also appreciated the prince's performance even more.
The prince was also very proud. Although he was now learning to handle political affairs from the emperor, he always felt that he was suppressed everywhere and could not truly show his talents. Now that he went to sue Taizu on behalf of the emperor, it meant that he could finally go in front of others, and I feel happy when I think about leading the ministers there instead of being led by the emperor.
The auspicious time was chosen quickly, and it was on the first day of the next month.
On that day, the prince, dressed in an apricot-yellow python robe, brought his ministers to the Ancestral Temple to pray. He was really excited and did not feel that the weather was too hot at all, and the clothes on his body were indeed thicker.
After the prince prayed at the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, when he stood up and stepped inside, he suddenly heard people shouting, and a young eunuch rushed forward and pulled him back.
The prince barely managed to steady his feet and looked up, only to see that a piece of the southeast corner of the Ancestral Temple had collapsed. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Is Zongzheng Temple just a freeloader? How could such a thing happen?" (To be continued. If you like
