Chapter 483: The Battle of the Imperial Masters

Ling Chu was really surprised to learn that the emperor had named Ning Chuyi the crown prince.

Ning Chuyi came over that night, and although he didn't say it explicitly, Lingchu learned from his words that he really had no intention of becoming a prince. Although the prince is dead, the second prince is stupid, and the third prince has a disabled leg, the emperor still has two young princes.

One is the fourth prince Xiao Chengyan, the son of Concubine Pang Hui, and the other is Xiao Fangyi, the son of Concubine Feng Jing.

Despite his young age, the emperor is still in good health. You can wait until they grow up and then choose someone to be crown prince.

Ning Chuyi learned martial arts and always wanted to guard the border. He even asked her if she would leave Kyoto with him after getting married.

Why was he suddenly made a prince?

Just as he was wondering, a servant hurriedly ran into the flower hall and said, "Princess, Princess, Eunuch Cao is here. He said he was following the emperor's oral instructions."

Princess Dingyuan and Ling Chu were both startled.

King Dingyuan was attending court in the palace. If the emperor had anything to say, he could just declare his audience. Why did he let his father-in-law come to the palace? Could it be that he is no longer in the palace?

Seeing Eunuch Cao who came in next, the princess didn't mince words, "Eunuch Cao, are you looking for the prince?"

Eunuch Cao smiled and said, "King Dingyuan is in the palace. The Za family followed the emperor's instructions and summoned Princess Jiashan to the palace."

Ling Chu was surprised.

The princess was a little worried and wanted to ask Eunuch Cao why the emperor suddenly summoned Ling Chu to the palace.

Eunuch Cao shook his head, "It's not that the Zajia family doesn't want to talk, but it's just that the matter can't be explained in a few words. The emperor and the officials are still waiting, and the princess needs to quickly change her clothes and enter the palace with the Zajia family."

Hearing that the emperor and all the officials were waiting, the princess became more and more worried, but she couldn't ask any more questions.

Ling Chu left and returned soon.

Princess Dingyuan was very happy to see her daughter wearing a luxurious princess costume. Thinking that King Dingyuan was still in the palace and would protect her, she felt a little more at ease.

He rode quickly all the way into the palace.

Eunuch Cao led Ling Chu straight to the Jinluan Palace.

As soon as he walked outside the main hall, Eunuch An, who was standing next to the dragon chair, immediately leaned over and whispered to the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyes and glanced outside the palace, then nodded to Eunuch An.

Eunuch An immediately raised his voice and said, "Xuan...Princess Jiashan..."

Although he didn't know why the emperor suddenly summoned him, Ling Chu didn't have any uneasiness.

He straightened his back, crossed the threshold, and walked into the hall without looking back.

From the corner of her eye, she saw that her father, Master Xuan Yi and two senior brothers were all there, and their faces were calm, which made Ling Chu even more relieved.

As he got closer, Ling Chu saw Ning Chuyi wearing the prince's clothes. But the emperor and the officials were watching, so Ling Chu couldn't talk to him, and his eyes swept away from him.

Pay homage to the emperor.

"My daughter pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

The emperor had just conferred the title of crown prince on Ning Chuyi, and he was in a very good mood. I was even more happy to see Ling Chu, who was wearing a princess costume, and Ning Chuyi, who was wearing a prince costume, standing side by side.

I feel more and more that these two are a perfect match.

He thought to himself that Ning Chuchu liked this girl, and she would be very happy if he gave Yi'er a marriage to Princess Jiashan.

Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, the emperor's face did not show any of them.

With a gentle look on his face, he raised his hand towards Lingchu and said, "Sit down."

After listening to the emperor's words, Ling Chu's mouth twitched again and again.

It turned out that the reason why she was announced to the palace was that the emperor announced in front of all the officials that he would confer her the title of Imperial Preceptor. As a result, she was opposed by most of the officials.

There are two main reasons for the objection. One is that Kun Dao has never been a national preceptor, and the other is that she is too young and not capable enough to be qualified for the position of national preceptor.

All the officials knew that the Emperor's favorite candidate for the Imperial Preceptor was Xuan Yi. They believed that he first proposed to let Princess Jiashan become the Imperial Preceptor, but he was just waiting for everyone to object before he proposed to make Xuanyi the Imperial Preceptor.

In this way, the officials would not be able to refute the emperor's decision again and again.

Unexpectedly, when everyone raised objections, the emperor did not take the opportunity to propose that Master Xuan Yi should be the national master. Instead, he proposed to summon those Taoist priests who were interested in becoming national teachers into the palace and let them compete in mystical arts together.

The winner is elected as the national advisor.

All the officials felt that the emperor's proposal was reasonable and no one objected.

Ling Chu never thought that she would become a national master, and besides, her master and two senior brothers were both here, no matter which one was more suitable than her.

But before she could refuse, Master Xuan Yi said, "Go ahead and let me see if your skills have improved."

Lingchu knew that his master had never liked the constraints of the palace's rules, but she also wanted freedom.

"Master, Senior Brother's abilities are as good as yours. It's better to let Senior Brother do it, lest I embarrass you."

Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head at her, "Master is old. I am the senior brother and I have to serve him everywhere."

Ling Chu couldn't refute what Senior Brother said.

Seeing her eyes looking at him, Qingfeng immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered, "Don't look at me. If I hadn't been tired of all the rules in Beijing, I wouldn't have gone to Xuanqing Temple to become a disciple. I I don’t want to be a national master, I also want to go to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery everywhere.”

Qingfeng spoke so quietly that other officials did not hear him, but the emperor could guess that he did not want to be restrained.

Master Xuan Yi glared at him and turned to Ling Chu.

"You are my personal disciple, don't belittle yourself. Go ahead."

"Your Majesty, since Princess Jiashan has arrived, can we start?"

The person who spoke was a Taoist priest. Seeing that Master Xuanyi and his disciples kept talking, he had already become impatient.

Ling Chu hadn't noticed before, but now he turned around and saw five Taoist priests standing on the right side of the officials.

They were the Taoist priests who came to compete for the position of the national teacher.

The emperor also wanted to see their skills.

If they wanted to compete in mystical arts, they naturally couldn't do it in the Golden Palace.

The emperor got up from the dragon throne and walked out.

The officials immediately followed him.

Ling Chu knew he couldn't refuse, so he had to participate.

There was an open space on the right side of the Golden Palace. After arriving, Ling Chu found that six platforms of different heights had been set up. Obviously, they were used for the Taoist priests to compete in magic.

There were more than ten tables and chairs ten feet away from the platform, and the emperor sat at the top.

Although Xuanyi Zhenren refused to be the national teacher, the emperor always treated him with great courtesy and directly gave him a seat.

The eunuch general manager, An Gonggong, explained the rules of the competition on behalf of the emperor. The first round was to call the wind and rain.

Knowing that the emperor liked Taoists, all the participants were Taoist priests, not monks.

Qingfeng did not follow Xuanyi Zhenren, but stood beside Lingchu. Seeing someone on the platform, he immediately introduced her, "That is Taoist Yunfeng from Sanqing Mountain."

Lingchu's eyes fell on him, and she was a little impressed.

Taoist Yunfeng was on the highest platform, about twenty feet high. He just pinched a spell and flew up, and after sitting cross-legged, he used a spell to rise ten feet.

It seems that he is really good.

Following closely behind was Master Wei Ran, also from Sanqing Mountain.

Taoist Mingchuan and Taoist Liucheng from Baiyun Temple looked at each other and moved at the same time.

The two chose the two lowest platforms.

Zhenren Lu from Yongle Palace looked up at Lingchu and walked towards the fifth platform.

Seeing Lingchu looking up at the remaining platform, but not moving.

Some people sneered.

"Is the princess afraid to go up?"
