I am His Majesty's favorite

The top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Lin Heng opened the two cans of sugar water he just bought, studied them carefully, and then picked out the full one and handed it to His Highness the Crown Prince.

The latter didn't want to take the tasting as usual, but instead buried his face in the palm of the person and rubbed it.

The strength is gentle and soft, softer than a kitten.

"What are you doing?" His Excellency suddenly smiled.

"Coax you." The little ancestor said seriously. "The way you smile is sweeter than sugar water."

Mu Chen never said nonsense things like "don't worry about too many things" or "how can you get hit so easily".

Only when I feel that Lin Heng is depressed, I will get close to him, rub against him, and tell him with practical actions-no matter what you encounter, you have me.

"I should have found out a long time ago." Lin Heng sighed slightly, his head bowed in a sad expression. "As a monarch, have I failed my duty?"

"The king is also a human being."

Of course, there will be places that cannot be taken care of.

Mu Zhen caressed between his brows with his fingertips, as if that would drive away his troubles.

"Some people enjoy all the glory but are willing to be humble, and some people are poor but know how to repay kindness. The nature of bad intentions is common sense in the world. Ah Heng, what is wrong with you."

"No one will forget that you have personally saved innocent people from suffering and given them light and a future. As a monarch, you have always loved your people. I think this is the greatest blessing of the Nanchong Dynasty."

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night is as old as before.

The gentle voice floated slowly along with the evening wind.

Lin Heng lost his mind for a moment, he stared into the distance for a while, and finally turned his eyes and said, "You will definitely be an excellent king in the future."

"is it?"

Mu Chen tilted his head and complained. "I've done it before. It's very boring. No one listens to me except you."

"It's not enough for me to listen to you?" The monarch suddenly remembered the role-swapping scene in the Changming Palace last time, and he smiled brightly. "Okay, it's getting late at night, let's go."

"Why? Go back to the palace to clean up the mess?"

"Do not."

Lin Heng raised his head and finished the last two sips of sugar water in a cool manner.

"Cleaning up the mess is the work that His Majesty the Emperor should do when the rest period ends tomorrow. Now, Ah Heng has to accompany his little wife to seek marriage."

From the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the statue of Cupid, there is only a few hundred meters between them.

Afraid of causing too much commotion, Lin Heng performed lightness kung fu and took the little ancestor to the top of the pagoda to hide for a while.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers who heard the news had dismissed most of the onlookers, so there was a rare emptiness for the usual stream of prayers.

"Are those sacred trees for blessings?" Mu Chi pointed to the two rows of big trees that were staggered in front of him.

Those trees are tens of meters high, thick and strong, covered with colorful silk cloth.

Lin Heng hummed: "Praying in Nanchong is also divided into grades. There is a saying that sincerity leads to success. The more incense money, the more sincere."

"Is there such a saying?" Mu Chen smiled. "How much incense will be added to hang the red silk?"

"One hundred coins."

Doesn't sound like...it seems very expensive?

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never seen copper coins with Wen as the unit of measurement, it can be seen from the fact that a sugar man asks for twenty Wen and there are so many people vying to line up.

One hundred Wen should be a figure that ordinary people can afford.

"What about the black silk? Nan Tan respects black, so it should be more expensive."

"Five hundred words."

Enough to buy two good quality old hens.

His Royal Highness, who just passed by the poultry vendor's stall half an hour ago, thought about it.

"That one thousand Wen." Before Mu Chi could speak again, Lin Heng pointed to the hollow wind chime on the tree branch and answered first. "When the wind blows and the bell rings, it comforts lovesickness."

Calculated based on the income and expenditure of the overall national conditions of Nanchang, the annual income of ordinary people is about 20 taels.

Vendors who do small business are richer, about 100 to [-] taels.

If you study hard and become an official, your salary and hard work allowance should add up to 500 taels of silver.

Looking at the dense silk and wind chimes on the tree, Mu Chen suddenly felt a little depressed.

It is logical for the common people to contribute one hundred cash to convey their love to the girl or man they like, taking food and clothing as the most important thing.

Merchants and peddlers pursue harmony between husband and wife, and draw five hundred coins to hope for family happiness and unwavering love, which conforms to ethics.

It is normal for noble officials to expect a bosom friend with red sleeves to add fragrance, and exchange a thousand coins for a wonderful encounter.

But he is not worried about food and clothing, secondly, he is not worried about changes in his deep love, and thirdly, he does not need to add fragrance to beautiful women.

.......It is more like not to mess with the monarch if you have nothing to do.

If you want to pray to the god of love to be with the king of a country for life, ordinary incense money may not be enough.

"Is there any other way to pray?"

"Yes." Lin Heng nodded subconsciously, and then pursed his lips to express his puzzlement. "Aren't those satisfied?"

"Satisfied."

Mu Chen's tone sounded a little helpless.

"But a certain person is in charge of the rise and fall of the dynasty, and his fortune is too prosperous. I am afraid that I will wrong him if I pray that the wind chimes will hang up all the trees."

Lin Heng has always had a secret.

Even Lian Xizhuo and Ji Huaichen didn't know about it.

"Hmm... are you actually a girl?"

When he heard the monarch faltering and saying that he wanted to confess everything, the little ancestor made such a conjecture very shamelessly.

"................"

"Did you guess wrong? Then you are the incarnation of a stone monster, and you practice by absorbing the incense of believers and believers on weekdays, so as to maintain the national fortune of the Nanchang Dynasty...Why are you staring at me! That's what it says in Ben!"

Mu Chen was upright and confident, especially the last sentence, the volume of his voice was so high that his voice was almost slammed.

Lin Heng was almost so angry that he burst out laughing, the movement of knocking on the head was raised violently, but when it fell, it turned into a gentle rub full of love.

"What are you thinking about every day?"

"It's not that you said you have a secret to tell me!" The little ancestor stared back angrily. "It's not shocking at all, can it be called a secret?"

Lin Heng felt a headache.

If it's a girl or a stone monster.

I'm afraid it's not shock, but horror.

"I'll take you to the Wishing Building, and you'll understand after seeing it."

The prayer building is at the foot of the statue of Cupid, and it is the building closest to the statue.

This has been the tradition since ancient times, the closer you are to the god you want to pray to, the deeper the blessing you will receive.

So it is completely understandable for Mu Chen to build tall buildings here.

But it was only after getting closer that the statue of Cupid was several times larger than it looked from a distance.If a person stands in front of him, he has to look up to reach the top.

The two are nestled against each other, and the so-called tall building is actually better than a small hill.

"It's so majestic." His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help sighing. "It's just that it's so towering that it will be covered when night falls. It's a pity that no one looks up."

"No." Lin Heng smiled softly.

"My god can naturally illuminate the dark night, so that his believers will no longer lose hope."

my god.

mine.

Mu Chen was slightly stunned, and then a thin layer of sweat broke out from the palms of his hands.He looked up, and sure enough, he saw uneasiness and apprehension on Lin Heng's face.

"hug......."

"I'm sorry, aren't I?"

The little ancestor couldn't help grinding his teeth.

"Using the prince's face as a god, how can you figure it out? If you don't admit your mistake first, what kind of apology are you busy talking about?!"

"That's all right." The Monarch shyly moved closer, and then pulled him into his arms. "I was wrong, but I won't change it because you're not really mad at me."

Nonsense!

I'm really angry now!

Mu Chen stretched his teeth and claws to break free for a while, his technique was so refined, it might as well be said that he was throwing himself into the arms of a certain monarch.

For a moment.

"You are a fool." The little ancestor lay on the side of the man's neck, and made a conclusion from the bottom of his heart. "Do you like me that much? You like me so much that you don't even want your reputation?"

Lin Heng was stunned.

Lian Xizhuo also said this sentence.

'Do you like Mu Chen so much?Like it to the point of dying? '

How can people who have never experienced life being illuminated feel the same way.

Fame that goes down in history will eventually become a thing of the past, and will be buried in ashes at the end of a hundred years.

Only the love that is as strong as flesh and blood is the proof of his coming to this life.

"At that time, I thought I would never see you again. The years are long, and I want to leave a thought for these short and lonely decades."

Um...............

It makes sense.Emotionally sincere too.

But it's just that my face is regarded as a god, and I am worshiped day and night by incense and prayers, and I always feel weird.

"No." Lin Heng patted him on the back in relief.

"There have been several local gods in the past in Nanchan, and they were all formed by the assembly of the people with good wishes."

"Many people even ask craftsmen to carve stone statues for their beloved women and place them in the ancestral hall for worship. They think that this can communicate with the heavens and bring blessings to relatives and friends around them."

Yes.

Nanchang is a big martial arts country, people who practice martial arts don't pay attention to those ghosts and legends.

In the traditional concept, the idol should be holy and clear, and no desecration is allowed.

And in this land, the people you cherish and look up to are the same light as thousands of gods.

Skipping this stop, Mu Jian stared at the statue of Cupid with a complicated expression for a while, and suddenly asked in doubt: "Why are there so many things hanging on the statue, and they are also for praying?"

Starting from the hem of the clothes, many sachets, fan pendants, silk handkerchiefs and so on are hung on the corners of the carvings.Among them are household objects such as abacus, wolf fine pen, and books.

But the more you look at the top of the portrait, the more loose the pendant is, until there is only a pocket purse left at the waist.

"It's a token of love."

Lin Heng said softly: "Those married couples who have fulfilled their wishes will enshrine here the same thing as when they first made love. Even if they are blessed by the God of Love, it is also a kind of testimony."

"Because of the high price of incense, ordinary people would seldom invest too much money in it unless they were genuinely affectionate and wealthy."

"Is it really as expensive as you said?" Mu Zhen nodded. "How much is a sachet?"

"1000 taels." The monarch added lightly: "Gold."

"..." is indeed not cheap.

Lin Heng smiled slightly: "This is only the price of the hem of the clothes, and if it goes up, it will increase by ten times."

In other words, the pocket purse on his waist contributed at least ten thousand taels of incense money.

"so."

Mu Chen accurately grasped the core.

"What about the money?"

The monarch couldn't help laughing.

What's the matter with the tone of extorting the small treasury from her husband?

"When I asked someone to repair the stone statue, I didn't intend to use it to fill the national treasury. Unexpectedly, the people spontaneously convened and built buildings to add incense and pray for blessings."

"As a king, how can I let the trustees ignore me, and just funded the construction of a new prayer building on the original foundation."

"By the way, the people's livelihood decree was promulgated. All couples from poor families can go to the local county government to receive a wedding banquet subsidy with the marriage contract. This can be regarded as achieving affection with affection."

"I have participated in countless wedding banquets in the world by paying the share money. Some of them are in love and grow old, some change their hearts halfway, and some are unfortunately widowed."

"Things are impermanent, but getting married in the end makes everyone chase after them."

Having said that, Lin Heng paused.

"Your Highness, I was unwilling to stick to lovesickness, so I concealed my identity and asked craftsmen to carve stone statues and placed them on the busiest street in the imperial city."

"I thought that the world would have no regrets in this life after witnessing my love. But when you appeared in my dreams night after night, I realized that the formerly respected monarch was just a cowardly and mediocre person .”

"So, Your Highness, no matter where you are in the future, I will run towards you thousands of times. Please catch me and don't let me fall, okay?"

Mu Chen pursed his lips and remained silent.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, on the contrary, he really wants to hug the young man in front of him who has also appeared hundreds of times in his dreams, and then tell him: You don't have to rush towards me, just walk , I can't wait to throw myself into your arms.

But he didn't have time to speak.

Lin Heng wrapped his arms around the slender waist of the little ancestor, exerted force on his toes, and the two tightly stacked bodies jumped up in an instant.

In the air, through the slits of his eyes, Mu Xi saw that there was a dry gardenia lying in the palm of the statue of Cupid, which stretched forward slightly and blessed the believers endlessly.

Just like the hairpin he had on Lin Heng's luggage back then.
