MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 485 Grant marriage
Chapter 485 Marriage Grant
Ling Chu made a sign to the sky. The wind dispersed and the rain stopped, and the sky suddenly became clear again.
He lowered his eyes and glanced at Uncle Zhongqin, who was still lying on the ground, and apologized without any sincerity, "I'm sorry, uncle, my hand slipped just now and I accidentally got you wet. Is your uncle okay? Please call the imperial doctor." show you?"
Uncle Zhongqin lay on the ground in a mess, shocked and angry.
This princess is really hateful. He fell so hard that his waist was about to break. But if he asks an imperial doctor, others will not laugh at him for being useless. A grown man who is exposed to wind and rain will look like a woman and needs to see a doctor.
I heard someone next to me ask in surprise, "Princess, did you cause the storm just now?"
Uncle Zhongqin just gritted his teeth and got up. Regardless of the mud all over him, he blurted out, "It's impossible. She doesn't even dare to go up to the altar. How could she be summoned? It was clearly summoned by Master Lu."
Ling Chu looked at him with a half-smile, "It seems that uncle didn't see it clearly just now? It doesn't matter, then I'll call him again."
Uncle Zhongqin looked at her smile, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Before he could speak, Ling Chu had already raised his hand to seal the seal again.
A strong gust of wind suddenly swept towards Uncle Zhongqin, causing him to stagger backward involuntarily.
Although he didn't fall this time, the strong wind scratched his face painfully.
What made Uncle Zhongqin even more angry was that the rain that fell from the sky again only came to him.
Everyone else was fine, but he was as miserable as a drowned rat.
Even though he was angry and angry, Uncle Zhongqin did not dare to speak again.
The thunder that just exploded above his head almost made him lose control with fright. If the princess had struck the thunder at him that day, his death would have been in vain.
Uncle Zhongqin endured his displeasure, went forward to confess to the emperor, and went back to change his clothes.
The emperor looked at him and looked unhappy.
This Zhongqin Bo knew that he wanted Princess Jiashan to be the national counselor, but he just laughed in front of him. If he didn't give him some punishment, he might not be able to see the situation clearly.
"Uncle Zhongqin has behaved badly in front of the emperor and will be fined one year's salary. Retreat."
Uncle Zhongqin's heart was filled with regret, but he did not dare to say a word in response to the emperor's punishment.
Left dejectedly.
Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, the scene suddenly became quiet.
It was Master Lu who spoke up, "The princess is worthy of being a disciple of Master Xuan Yi. This old master is willing to be inferior in his ability to make wind and rain."
Although the other Taoist priests didn't say anything, they admired Ling Chu's ability.
Ling Chu won the first round, and no one had any doubts.
The second round is Physiognomy.
Gonggong An pointed at the man the emperor had specially sent for and said, "This is Mr. Liu. You can use him to compare your physiognomy."
The rules of the competition are very simple. The six people participating in the competition for the national master's position write down the results they see on paper.
Finally, it was handed over to Eunuch An and presented to the emperor and Xuan Yi for evaluation.
Which Taoist is the most comprehensive and accurate is the winner.
The five Taoist priests present have all been practicing for many years, and their physiognomy skills are all good.
Get the four treasures of the study distributed by Mr. An and start immediately.
After the limited number of sticks of incense, Mr. An put away the rice papers for the six people.
The emperor did not understand mystical arts, so he only glanced at it briefly and handed it over to Master Xuan Yi.
Xuanyi's eyes swept across the six pieces of rice paper, and he quickly came to a conclusion.
“In this second round, Princess Jiashan wins.”
As soon as Xuan Yi finished speaking, the scene was in an uproar.
Suddenly Master Wei Ran's arrogant voice resounded throughout the audience, "I'm not convinced! Princess Jiashan is only in her prime years. Even if she has been studying mystical arts since she was born, she can't be more proficient than us."
Could Master Xuan Yi be protecting his disciple? "
Although the other Taoist priests did not speak, their expressions were still full of doubts.
Even if Princess Jiashan’s ability to make wind and rain is better than theirs, it does not mean that her other abilities are also better than theirs.
The so-called physiognomy includes palmistry, face physiognomy, body physiognomy, bone physiognomy, eyesight and qi observation, etc. Without knowing the person's name and birth date, it is not easy to rely on fortune telling to judge a person's life achievements, success and wealth.
The Princess of Jiashan did not read her palms or feel her bones just now, so it was absolutely impossible for her to make a more complete cut than them.
More than a few Taoist priests questioned Xuan Yi's favoritism for Ling Chu, and even many officials present had the same suspicion.
Some people even secretly thought that Xuan Yi didn't want to be a national master, but asked his disciples to come forward, just to facilitate his control from behind.
What kind of person is Master Xuan Yi? He can see through the thoughts of those who question him at a glance. However, he was not angry at all, and his expression remained calm.
Zhenren Xuanyi originally planned to ask Master Wei Ran to come forward and compare the results of the six of them in person.
Xuan Yi is a man of great generosity and unwilling to care.
Lingchu didn't want to see him questioned by anyone.
But she did not defend herself, but turned directly to Mr. Liu who was chosen by the emperor.
“Mr. Liu, did your father-in-law die of illness when you were three years old?”
"yes."
“You were nine years old when your father fell off his horse and died, right?”
"right."
“Including you, there are a total of five direct brothers and sisters in your family...”
Master Wei Ran's eyes lit up as he listened and his heart sank, "Mr. Jiashan, you must have made a mistake. Mr. Liu only has two brothers and one sister. He only has four, so how can he have five?"
Lingchu glanced sideways at him, without retorting, he just asked Mr. Liu.
“Your eldest brother drowned when he was eleven years old, your second brother broke his head in a fall when he was eight years old and his intelligence is now only three years old, and your eldest sister broke her leg when she was nine years old and is unable to walk.
When your mother died of illness, the fetus in her belly was only three months old. Is there anything wrong? "
Liu Jinyuan pursed his lips and remained silent, slowly shaking his head, "That's right."
Master Wei Ran was speechless. He didn't even calculate that Mr. Liu's mother had one body and two lives when she died.
“Master Liu has a lot of property in his family, but you only have the ancestral home in your name. In fact, your money is managed by your relatives.”
"right."
Master Wei Ran opened his lips, and the words of rebuttal came to his lips. Hearing Mr. Liu's words, he smiled bitterly and swallowed them back.
“Mr. Liu, your master said that you have the talent of being the top scholar, but you always fail in every big and small exam, right?”
"The princess is indeed a disciple of Master Xuan Yi, and there is nothing wrong with her judgment."
Zhenren Lu glanced at Ling Chu and said sincerely, "The princess's physiognomy is really amazing."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to compete in the third round of stargazing. Princess Jiashan's mystical skills are enough to assist the national destiny."
Master Wei Ran and the other three Taoists looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to rest and compete again.
They have been studying mystical arts for many years, but they are not as good as a girl who has just grown hair. Their skills are not as good as others, and it will be even more embarrassing if they continue to compete.
Princess Jiashan is very capable at a young age. It seems that she is not only smart, but also has talents that they cannot match.
Lingchu was speechless. Stargazing was extremely laborious. In order not to embarrass her master, she planned to bite the bullet.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priests did not want to continue the competition.
Lingchu was still thinking about how to persuade her senior brother to take over the position of National Preceptor. Unexpectedly, the emperor directly made the final decision and issued an order to grant her the position of National Preceptor in public.
He also suddenly asked Mr. An to take out an imperial edict and read it out.
"...I am very pleased to hear that Han Chu, the daughter of Dingyuan King Han Jingning, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. Now that the crown prince is already weak, when he is ready for marriage, I specially betroth you to the crown prince as the crown princess. Choose a good time to get married..."
