Chapter 165 [Climax]

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The streets and alleys of Kyoto seemed to be submerged in a festive sea of ​​red today.

Red lanterns are hung high, and the word "囍" is pasted on every door and window. The whole city is immersed in bustle and joy.

On the streets, people are dressed in festive costumes, with happy smiles on their faces, passing on blessings and joy to each other.

The wedding bells echoed in the bell tower of the ancient temple, melodious and profound, as if announcing the happy moment of the newlyweds.

Children chased and played on the street corners, and their laughter added more vitality and vigor to the city.

The vendors were not to be outdone and displayed a variety of festive goods to attract the attention of passers-by.

This joy and anticipation can be felt on every street and in every corner.

On this special day, Kyoto is not just a city, it is a place full of love and hope. Every corner is filled with happiness and every heart is full of expectations.

This is a grand celebration, a carnival for the whole city, and the most beautiful tribute to the wedding.

In the heart of Kyoto, a spectacular scene is unfolding.

Citizens of all ages in the city held high in their hands a big red "囍" character. They were like blooming red flowers, dotted among the crowd and formed long red dragons, winding through every corner of the city.

The children's faces were filled with innocent smiles. They jumped and cheered, and the "囍" characters in their hands flew up and down as they danced.

The adults also put aside their usual seriousness, with warm smiles on their faces. They waved the word "囍" in their hands together with the children, immersed in this joy.

With a command, the long line began to move slowly. People's steps were firm and powerful, and their eyes were full of expectations and blessings.

When the team came together, they formed a huge circle that surrounded the entire Kyoto, with the Imperial Palace at the center.

People began to shout out the words of blessing loudly, and their voices gathered into a powerful force that resounded through the sky.

"I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a happy wedding, and I wish our Qing Kingdom will prosper forever!"

The sound was like waves, one after another, endlessly.

They echoed in the air, penetrated the clouds and reached the sky.

Every word and every sentence is full of sincere emotions. They are the most sincere blessings to the newlyweds and the most affectionate confession to this city.

In this grand scene, people's hearts seem to be purified and their emotions sublimated.

Very contagious!
This is a carnival for the whole city and a baptism of the soul.

On this special day, Kyoto is not just a city, it is a place full of love and hope. Every corner is filled with happiness and every heart is full of expectations.

Such scenes are truly shocking and make one's blood boil!

The Imperial Study was built on the top of a high mountain in Qingguo, overlooking the entire Kyoto.

In the pavilion on the top of the mountain.

Li Chengqian looked at this scene and felt a surge of heat in his heart.

What a lovely group of people!

"Can we ask the heaven for rain today?"

Emperor Qing asked.

Li Chengqian did not answer in a hurry, but looked up at the scorching sun in the sky.

The scorching sun was mercilessly burning the earth. There was not a single cloud in the sky, which was so blue that it was almost transparent.

The sunlight shot down like a sharp sword, exposing every inch of land to its scorching heat.

There was a burning smell in the air, as if even breathing had become scalding hot.

Under the high temperature, the ground cracked into countless tiny cracks, like wrinkles on an old man's face, telling the cruelty of the drought.

The hot air rising from the ground distorts the vision and makes people feel as if they are in an unreal world.

Occasionally, a breeze blew by, but it did not bring coolness, but heat waves, exacerbating the suffocating heat. In such a harsh environment, the flowers and plants had long lost their former vitality.

The leaves curl up, lose moisture, and become dry and brittle.

The petals lost their color and fell to the ground, silently telling the fragility of life.

Even the toughest trees have to lower their once proud heads, and the green leaves on the branches become sparse and hang weakly.

In this hot summer, life seems to be waiting for the arrival of a timely rain, longing for the nourishment of the sweet rain.

However, the sky remained high and cold, with no sign of rain.

In this scorching heat, people are looking forward to a hint of coolness, which, even if only briefly, can bring a moment of comfort.

This is a drought that tests vitality, but it is also a time to demonstrate resilience and adaptability.

Under this hot sky, every life is fighting against the harshness of nature in its own way, waiting for the moment when the cool rain comes and brings rebirth and hope.

Now, the entire Kyoto's desire for a heavy rain is all placed on Li Chengqian.

"I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince success in asking the sky for rain!"

Another blessing voice resounded through the sky.

Today's grand event was not organized by anyone, but was a spontaneous gathering of all the people in Kyoto.

At this moment, in the Second Prince's mansion, listening to the passionate voice echoing from the sky, the Second Prince's expression was inexplicably gloomy.

Xie Bian held the long sword that he had never left in his arms, and said quietly:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is very popular among the people, both in Kyoto and throughout the world.

Today’s scene is the best testimony.”

The second prince took a grape and sighed:
"Perhaps the saddest thing in my life is that I once wanted to compete with him, but I was just a whetstone for him.

The most fortunate thing is that there is still a glimmer of hope that the grindstone can get out of this unscathed."

Now, this is the second prince’s last hope.

"Do you think he can borrow a heavy rain from heaven today?" asked the second prince, looking up at the scorching sky.

Xie Bian also looked up at the scorching sky and shook his head slightly:

"Disaster!"

More than difficult.

This kind of hot weather looks like it may continue for a long time.

One or two months is very likely.

There was not even a cool breeze in the air.

How could there be a sudden heavy rain in this situation?
"Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on whether the prince is really the reincarnation of the rain god as the folk legend says!"

The second prince turned around and went back to the pavilion.

It's too hot outside.

"The prince has left the imperial study and rushed to the royal villa." Someone came in to report.

After saying that, the man retreated again.

"Sit and wait."

The second prince sat down on the swing in his room, swaying slightly.

A carriage came out of the palace and headed towards the royal villa with a clear destination.

Along the way, countless people were excited and looked at the carriage with anticipation.

They all made way for a passage.
