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. It looked like the sleeves were bulging, as if there was wind hiding inside.

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 take a second look.

No wonder this little girl has the prince's prayer 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 is not a lucky girl for today's rain praying ceremony, Shen Ningning spent the whole night preparing in the fairyland.

Her sleeves are full of small dark clouds. Today, a big one must rain 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 has obviously passed half a quarter, and Shen Ningning has just arrived. How can it be said that it has just begun?

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 didn't look at her, just nodded to Shen Ningning, and then walked towards the Temple of Heaven.

The national master took several sacrificial wizards and began to play drums and sing difficult songs.

 Taking advantage of this time, Wei Yufu whispered to Shen Ningning: "The untouchables you rescued must have been seriously injured, right? Why don't you go take good care of them and join in the fun of praying for rain."

Shen Ningning had a fair face and looked 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 competing with me? I have been known as a lucky girl since I was a child. When I pray for rain later, you have to open your eyes and see clearly. Don't provoke me in the future!"

"Otherwise, your fate will be the same as that child named Wu'er. I heard that his ribs are broken, so what? Even if you complain to the emperor, he will not punish me. Who allows me to control the wind and rain. "

 Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips, and the look in her eyes became 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 lowered attendant next to her father was Master Gu, who had been hired with a lot of money. He was as famous as a semi-immortal in the world.

The name of the lucky girl this time must be hers, 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 flames in the cauldron were rising, and the imperial master sprinkled chicken blood into the cauldron. Then the emperor took the lead and knelt down to worship God. The imperial master shouted: "The ceremony of praying for rain has officially begun. Please invite the blessed girl to the altar!"

Wei Yufu straightened her back immediately and walked up without looking away.

 I saw her opening her arms, closing her eyes, and mumbling something.

 Shen Ningning tilted her little 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 looked back indifferently.

Sudden!

 There was a strong wind.

 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, blessed girl 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 looked 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 robes of the imperial master.

The Imperial Preceptor 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 doesn’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 with his fingers and said with a serious expression: "No, I didn't bring my whisk, so the gods in the sky don't recognize me. I'll go back and get the whisk now."

Wei Shangshu felt dizzy due to anger, and his temples hurt suddenly due to the heat.

 “Go quickly!” When did you think of getting a whisk?

If it weren’t for the fact that he was a master, Wei Shangshu would definitely want him to 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 before a stick of incense, Master Gu escaped from the capital with the gold and silver treasures you gave him!"

 “What!” Wei Shangshu suddenly stood up, forgetting that there were hundreds of civil and military officials sitting around him.

 His complexion was ashen, 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 allowed his daughter to 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 hurriedly stepped forward, took his pulse, and diagnosed Wei Shangshu as suffering from heatstroke, and hurriedly gave him acupuncture.

Wei Yufu was extremely panicked, her eyes filled with panic.

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!"

All 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 guess correctly, you've never successfully caused a rain in front of everyone, right?" Shen Ningning stared at her.

 She was pressed with questions one by one, which made Wei Yufu 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 have such a vicious mind!"

At this point, Wei Yufu still wants 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 hem of her skirt with her small hands, looking cute and smart.

"Uncle Emperor, I can bring rain. If I succeed, please promise me to punish a person."

 “Who do you want to punish?” asked the emperor.

Shen Ningning pointed directly at Wei Yufu: "She!"
