Chapter 158 If she causes rain, please punish her
Today, Shen Ningning wore a pea green pomegranate skirt. The sleeves were light and thin, but there were green ribbons tied on both sides of the cuffs, which made the sleeves look bulging, as if there was wind hiding inside.
There are two small buns on the top of the head, with two pink peach blossoms pinned to them.
Looking from a distance, it looks as cute as a fresh little lotus fairy.
Xie Mingxu, who was sitting among the ministers, couldn't help but look twice.
No wonder this little girl has the prince's Buddhist beads in her hand. It turns out that they already know each other. What a coincidence.
When Mo Lingwei saw Shen Ningning, he immediately walked down from the Temple of Heaven, took her hand, and led her to Wei Yufu's position in full view of everyone.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. I overslept this morning." The little guy's pink face was full of shyness.
In order to prove that Wei Yufu was not a lucky girl for today's rain praying ceremony, Shen Ningning spent the whole night preparing in the fairyland.
There are little dark clouds hidden in her sleeves. Today, a big one must fall on the capital!
Mo Lingwei chuckled: "It's not too late, the auspicious time has just begun."
Wei Yufu listened, feeling only jealous in her heart.
The auspicious time had clearly passed half an hour, and Shen Ningning had just arrived. How could it be said that it was just the beginning?
She couldn't help but speak and smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness, since the Lord of Funing County is also here, let's get started."
Mo Lingwei did not look at her, only nodded to Shen Ningning, and then walked towards the Temple of Heaven.
The imperial master led several sacrificial wizards and began to play drums and sing difficult songs.
Taking advantage of this time, Wei Yufu whispered to Shen Ningning: "Those untouchables you saved must have been seriously injured, right? If you don't take good care of them, why are you here to join in the fun of praying for rain."
Shen Ningning's face was white and tender, with an expression on her face . Looking forward calmly, her voice was soft but unceremonious: "You can come, why can't I?"
Wei Yufu couldn't help but glare at her: "Are you worthy of comparing with me? I have been blessed since I was a child. "Please wait for the rain, please keep your eyes open and don't provoke me in the future!"
"Otherwise, your fate will be the same as that of the child named Wu'er. I heard that his ribs are broken, so what? How about it? Even if you complain to the emperor, he won't punish me. Who can control me?"
Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips and looked more determined.
"Whether you can attract rain is still unknown."
Wei Yufu sneered, feeling that Shen Ningning was really stupid.
She glanced sideways at the official stand. The attendant with his head lowered next to his father was Master Gu, who had been hired with a lot of money. He was as famous as a semi-immortal in the world.
This time the name of Fu Nu must belong to her, Wei Yufu!
The fierce drumbeats and rhythmic beats, and the sound of horns blown by ivory, seemed to come from ancient times, dull and long-lasting.
Noon has arrived, the sun is shining brightly, and the roasted wizard is sweating profusely.
The fire in the cauldron rose rustlingly, as the imperial master sprinkled chicken blood into it, and then the emperor took the lead in kneeling to God. The imperial master shouted: "The rain praying ceremony has officially begun, please come to the altar!"
Wei Yufu straightened up immediately. Back, he walked up without looking back.
I saw her opening her arms, closing her eyes, and mumbling something.
Shen Ningning tilted her head.
Can she really bring rain?
At the same time, Master Gu next to Wei Shangshu pinched his fingers and recited a mantra, his voice humming like an insect.
Everyone was looking intently at Wei Yufu at the Temple of Heaven. Only Xie Mingxu, who was sitting in the front row, heard the movement and turned around and glanced coldly.
Sudden!
A strong wind blew up.
The emperor's face was filled with joy.
Is it going to rain?
Wei Yufu felt the strong wind and raised her arms happily: "Wind, rain, Fu Nu is here, follow my instructions, let it rain!"
Her words made many ministers feel excited.
"The wind is so strong, it must be raining." Someone whispered. Everyone raised their heads and stared at the sky eagerly, expecting a dark cloud to come or hear a muffled thunder.
pity.
Nothing.
The strong wind only blew up twice and then gradually disappeared. Not only did it not bring any rain, it also blew up the ashes of the charms burned in the cauldron and almost set fire to the imperial master's robes.
The imperial master kept patting his sparkling robe with a cold face, and asked angrily: "Fu Nu, where is your rain?"
Wei Yufu's face was pale.
She didn't know why the rain didn't come!
She looked towards the stands for help, and Wei Shangshu was also urging Master Gu in a low voice.
"Master, hurry up and continue. It's windy but not raining. How can this be done? The emperor is watching."
Master Gu counted his fingers and said seriously: "No, I didn't bring my fly whisk, so the sky The gods don't recognize me, so I'll go back and get the whisk."
Wei Shangshu felt dizzy with anger, and his temples hurt suddenly because of the heat.
"Go!" How long did it take to get the whisk?
If it weren't for the fact that he was a master, Wei Shangshu would have made him look good!
However, once Master Gu left, he never came back.
Wei Shangshu's secret guard went to chase him, but hurriedly came back to report: "Sir, it's not good, just a stick of incense ago, Master Gu escaped from the capital with the gold and silver treasures you gave him!" "
What!" Wei The minister suddenly stood up, forgetting that there were hundreds of civil and military officials sitting around him.
His face was livid, and his dizziness became more intense.
Master Gu was actually a liar. Not only was he defrauded of nearly five thousand taels of silver, but he also boasted in front of the emperor and made his daughter go directly to the Temple of Heaven.
It's over, it's over now!
Everyone turned to look at Wei Shangshu, and Xie Mingxu said coldly: "Master Wei, are you okay?"
Wei Shangshu held his forehead: "My head hurts."
Two imperial doctors quickly stepped forward, took his pulse, and diagnosed Wei Shangshu as suffering from heat stroke. I hurriedly gave him acupuncture.
Wei Yufu was extremely panicked, with panic in her eyes.
Even her father fainted, and her prayer for rain was about to fail!
The emperor's face was extremely ugly: "Girl of the Wei family, can you bring this rain?"
"I...I..." Wei Yufu burst into tears.
At this time, Shen Ningning took a step forward and spoke softly, but her voice was heard by everyone.
"She can't recruit her, because her claim that she is a lucky girl is completely false!"
The ministers were in an uproar, and all their eyes turned to Shen Ningning.
Wei Yufu looked at the little guy fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm just too tired."
"Huh, I'm tired sooner or later, but I'm tired at this time. If I'm not wrong, you have never been in front of everyone. Successfully caused a rain, right?" Shen Ningning stared at her.
Question after sentence, Wei Yufu was so angry that she cried.
"Shen Ningning, I ask myself that I have never offended you, why do you want to slander me so aggressively? You have ruined my mood, and of course I will not be able to attract rain. You are so vicious!"
Until now, Wei Yufu is still I want to put all the blame on Shen Ningning!
The emperor listened impatiently: "That's enough!"
Shen Ningning turned to the emperor and held up the skirt with her small hands, looking cute and smart.
"Uncle Emperor, I can bring rain. If I succeed, please promise me to punish one person."
"Who do you want to punish?" the emperor asked.
Shen Ningning pointed directly at Wei Yufu: "Her!"
