Consort he can't

After all the turmoil was over, it was time for the rain praying ceremony, and then there were three days of being too busy to touch the ground.

Gu Chen didn't show it on his face, but his heart was burning with anxiety.

To put it bluntly, praying for rain is a matter of luck.

If you pray for it, it counts, and if you don't pray for anything, it's useless.

It's easy to talk about what you pray for, but if you don't pray, it's not so easy to explain, it's just thankless.

If it was easy for others to say, but it was Li Jingzhao who took the job. It was hard to get rid of the reputation of the previous disaster star. If this time the rain prayer was unsuccessful, it would be a waste of all previous efforts.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen sighed—just to go to the place to pray for rain, he had to walk hundreds of steps, and every day he encountered such an experience, his legs had to slip around.

It's the third day now, but God doesn't mean it's going to rain at all. It's a poisonous sun all day long. Let alone the crops, even people can't bear it.

Sixi and Xiaowei kept silent about Li Jingzhao vomiting blood that night.But even if they don't say anything, Gu Chen can guess [-]% to [-]% of it.

It's nothing more than the lovesickness in his body at work.

Li Jingzhao only found out about the acacia marsh in his body after he secretly asked about it.

Li Jingzhao's lovesickness just happened two days ago, and his complexion was as ugly as if he hadn't recovered from a serious illness. After that, he was basking in the sun every day for the past few days, and Gu Chen felt uncomfortable for him.

But now he can only watch.

His son-in-law was basically just a decoration, except that he was required to go to the grand ceremony on the first day, Li Jingzhao was the only one there at other times.

It just so happened that I couldn't get involved in this matter, otherwise no one would be able to take care of it if something went wrong, and I could only be anxious when I looked at Gu Chen day by day, but there was nothing I could do.

For the first time in my life, I had the desire to climb up.

It is now afternoon, the sun is hanging in the sky, Gu Chen feels bored staying in the house, sitting on the rattan chair under the verandah and fanning himself to enjoy the cool.

I thought I would eat something good tonight to make up for Li Jingzhao.

In the morning, he sneaked to the side of the altar - on the high platform was Li Jingzhao, and below were the dark people waiting for the rain. He hid in a group of people, looked at Li Jingzhao, and felt that this person was good everywhere.

He was sitting under the eaves, and before he had finished turning a page, he heard the sound of pattering, and when he looked up, he saw that some water had accumulated on the ground at some point.

Gu Chen: "!!!"

It's raining?Praying for rain succeeded? ! !

The surprise came a little too fast, and he didn't even have the time to react.

10

"My son-in-law, my son-in-law—" the voice came from far to near.

"Hey, hey, wait—"

Before Gu Chen could see it clearly, the large group of unknown objects had already rushed into his arms: "My son-in-law! It's raining!!!"

11

It was Xiaowei who was ordered to stay in the mansion.

It was raining outside, he looked happier than Gu Chen, he rushed straight over, pulling him to go to the yard together.

Gu Chen smiled and shoved him, "If you want to get in the rain, do it yourself, don't drag me into a drowned chicken—"

"Auspicious rain from the sky, what a wonderful thing," Xiao Wei was accidentally pushed down the steps by him, and the rainwater was splashed on him with his hand, "The son-in-law should be happy together!"

Gu Chen lost his temper after being splashed by him, so he had to talk to him to distract his attention: "This time, it can be regarded as letting go of a concern, Your Highness really deserves God's blessing!"

"Yeah, who said no—"

Xiaowei was happy.

Seeing him like this, Gu Chen unconsciously smiled, and stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater.

12

Rain fell from the sky.

The rain came so timely that it really saved the people of Yanzhou.

13

There was a lot of rain, and it didn't stop until the evening.

He heard the servants in the mansion say that because of the timely rain, they will hold a big temple fair tonight, and then invite Her Royal Highness to go with them.

Gu Chen listened to their heated discussions, and thought that Li Jingzhao would be a ghost if he likes to go to temple fairs, but he only vomited blood when he visited a few days ago, so it's strange that he has no psychological shadow.

When he thought so, he looked up at the sky.

It was getting late, but Li Jingzhao didn't know where he went, and he hasn't been seen yet.

14

Gu Chen waited for a while, then looked at the door twice, the moon was already high outside, but Li Jingzhao hadn't come back yet.

There was no news from Sixi either.

No matter how late it is usually, it is only the time to light the lamps. It is the first time that it is so late like today.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that he was inexplicably flustered, and then he comforted himself not to think about it, Li Jingzhao, His Majesty Zhaoren, can something happen while everyone is watching?

Maybe I succeeded in praying for rain today, and there are more things to deal with.

Gu Chen: "..."

15

After Gu Chen comforted himself and found that it was useless twice, he decisively put on his cloak and went out.

16

After stopping and walking, I wandered to the street where the temple fair was.

Seeing the booth outside, he was taken aback for a moment.

The stall at the door was a little girl, and an old man with his eyes closed was lying on the side, shaking a fan and humming a little song, looking very comfortable.

Rows of silk figurines with silk flowers are placed on wooden frames. If you look closely, even the fluff on the flowers and the hair on the silk figurines are well done.

In the middle was a silk figure in a purple palace dress, with exquisite makeup and vivid eyebrows and eyes.

He took a few more glances unconsciously.

17

Probably seeing him wandering around for a long time, the little girl smiled happily in his direction: "It feels like you have been waiting here for a while, are you waiting for your sweetheart—"

Gu Chen: "Yeah... yes..."

It's just that the sweetheart is a bit difficult to deal with, and I haven't got it yet, and I still won't go home in the middle of the night.

"Ah, so it's a little brother," the little girl clapped her hands, "Then why don't you buy a silk flower for your sister? Girls usually like this!"

Gu Chen: "..."

Gu Chen felt ashamed, and gave Li Jingzhao silk flowers, maybe he thought he had lived too long?

But the little girl was too enthusiastic. He saw that they were old and young, and it was not easy to save the girl's face.

He happened to see the silk figurine at the booth, so he pointed and asked, "How do you buy this?"

18

"Ah, sorry, I can't see it, can you tell me which one it is?"

Gu Chen paused for a moment, only to realize that although her eyes were open, she was not in a good mood, and kept looking at one place.

"Ah, I'm sorry—I was negligent," Gu Chen looked at the silk figure, "it's the one in the middle wearing the purple palace dress."

"Ah, that..." The little girl paused, but she was still very happy, "That one is more delicate, and it costs five copper coins."

"That's it." Gu Chen reached out to touch his purse.

Hearing that Gu Chen had lost his voice, the little girl was a little worried that the business would be ruined, so she took a few steps forward and whispered, "This is actually a silk figurine made according to His Highness Zhaoren. His Highness Zhaoren is coming to pray for rain these days. I heard that many people I saw it! It’s a pity that I can’t see it, I can only make a silk figurine based on my imagination, little brother, I just told you—”

Gu Chen was amused by her and laughed, "Okay, then I want this!"

19

Hearing that Gu Chen was so forthright, the little girl was also happy, and when she was collecting the money, she approached him quietly and said, "If my little brother likes Princess Zhaoren so much, I can also be a body-length silk figurine, but the price is a bit more expensive, one or two dollars." Money... If you want it, little brother, you can come to me anytime, I can make it cheaper..."

Gu Chen: "!!!" Waiting for the body...a silk man?

Wait, is that the life-length silk figure he was thinking of?

This, this, this - this can't be done!

21

He was dumbfounded.

Is there any illegal business here?

Fortunately, I'm not here to fish for law enforcement, or else every catch will be accurate.

Fortunately, he thought that it would be difficult for the two of them to make a living, and they still have private jobs as co-authors.

22

Gu Chen walked back in a fluttering manner.

When he got to the door, he looked at the intersection where there was no one there, then lowered his head and fiddled with the silk figurine, thinking that when Li Jingzhao came back, he must have a look at this.

So much like him, you must show him.

23

Not long after Gu Chen returned to the room, he heard Sixi calling Xiao Wei's name outside, thinking it was Li Jingzhao who had come back, he regained his energy in an instant, picked up the little silk figurine by the bed and went out.

But all he saw was Sixi who looked anxious and had blood on his sleeves.

24

Xiaowei also stood aside, and Sixi ran up to him panting: "My son-in-law, Your Highness, Your Highness, he was assassinated and disappeared!"

"what?"

There was a "buzz" in Gu Chen's mind, and the silk doll in his hand was also thrown on the ground.

"Where is it!" He looked at Sixi's red sleeves and felt dazzling.

"On the way back from praying for rain—"

Before Sixi could say a second sentence, the person standing in front of her just now was gone.

Only the silk man was left with crooked eyebrows and smiling eyes.

25

Sixi looked at Sixi: "Where's the son-in-law?"

Xiaowei: "Run out?"

To tell the truth, he was dizzy looking at it, and the son-in-law ran like a gust of wind.

"Then why didn't you stop it?!"

Xiaowei scratched the back of his head, "Isn't it not stopping..."

"Then hurry up and stop it!"

The author says:

Xiao Gu, this is a typical case of caring and chaos!

The little girl who bought silk flowers: Although His Highness was assassinated, you can find my custom-made princess silk figurine to express your thoughts!

Xiao Gu: ...
