Chapter 485 Granted Marriage

Ling Chu made a gesture towards the sky, and the wind stopped and the rain stopped. The sky cleared up in an instant.

He lowered his eyes to look at Uncle Zhongqin who was still lying on the ground, and apologized without sincerity, "Sorry, Uncle, my hand slipped and I accidentally wet you. Uncle, are you okay? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to see you?"

Uncle Zhongqin was lying on the ground in a mess, shocked and angry.

This princess was really hateful. He fell hard and his old waist seemed to be broken. But if he asked the imperial physician, others would laugh at him for being useless. A grown man, he was exposed to the wind and rain and wanted to see a doctor like a woman.

Someone nearby asked in surprise, "Princess, did you summon the wind and rain just now?"

Zhongqin Bo had just gritted his teeth and climbed up, ignoring the mud on his body, and blurted out, "Impossible, she didn't even dare to go up to the altar, how could she summon it. It was clearly summoned by Master Lu."

Ling Chu looked at him with a smile, "It seems that Master didn't see it clearly just now? It doesn't matter, then I will summon it again."

Zhongqin Bo looked at her smile, and suddenly felt uneasy.

Before he spoke, Ling Chu raised his hand again.

A gust of wind suddenly swept towards Zhongqin Bo, and the whole person staggered backwards involuntarily.

Although he didn't fall this time, the strong wind scratched his face painfully.

What made Zhongqin Bo even more angry was that the rain that fell from the sky again came only to him alone.

Everyone else was fine, but he was as embarrassed as a drowned chicken.

Although he was angry, Zhongqin Bo didn't dare to speak again.

The thunder that just exploded above his head almost frightened him to incontinence. If the princess struck him with the thunderbolt, he would die in vain.

Zhongqinbo suppressed his displeasure and went forward to apologize to the emperor and went back to change clothes.

The emperor looked at him wet and unhappy.

Zhongqinbo knew that he wanted Jiashan princess to be the national teacher, but he mocked him in front of him. If he didn't punish him, he might not be able to see the situation clearly.

"Zhongqinbo was disrespectful in front of the emperor and was fined one year's salary. Leave."

Zhongqinbo regretted it so much, but he didn't dare to say a word about the emperor's punishment.

He left with his head down.

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, the scene suddenly became quiet.

It was Master Lu who spoke, "The princess is worthy of being the disciple of Master Xuanyi. This ability to call the wind and rain, I am willing to admit that I am inferior."

Although the other Taoists didn't say anything, they also admired Ling Chu's ability.

In the first round, Ling Chu won, and no one was surprised.

The second round was a competition of physiognomy.

Eunuch An pointed at the man that the emperor had specially sent someone to find and said, "This is Mr. Liu, you can use him to compete in physiognomy."

The rules of the competition were very simple. The six people who participated in the competition for the position of the national teacher wrote down the results of their observations on paper.

Finally, it was handed over to Eunuch An to present to the emperor and Xuanyi Zhenren for evaluation.

The Taoist who was the most comprehensive and accurate was the winner.

The five Taoists present had all practiced for many years and their physiognomy was not bad.

After getting the four treasures of the study distributed by Eunuch An, they started immediately.

After a limited stick of incense, Eunuch An collected the rice paper of the six people.

The emperor did not understand the mysterious art, so he only glanced at it and handed it to Xuanyi Zhenren.

Xuanyi Zhenren's eyes swept across the six pieces of rice paper and quickly came to a conclusion.

"In this second round, Princess Jiashan won."

As soon as Xuanyi Zhenren finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

Suddenly, Master Wei Ran's arrogant voice resounded throughout the venue, "I don't accept it! Princess Jiashan is only at the age of marriage. Even if she has been learning the mysterious arts since she was born, she can't be more proficient than us.

Is Master Xuanyi protecting his own disciple?"

Although the other Taoists did not speak, their expressions were full of doubt.

Even if Princess Jiashan's ability to call the wind and rain is better than theirs, it does not mean that other abilities are better than them.

The so-called physiognomy includes palmistry, face, body, bone structure, eyes and aura.

Without knowing the other person's name and birth date, it is not an easy task to rely on physiognomy to judge a person's achievements, success and wealth in life.

The Princess Jiashan did not read her palm or touch her bones just now, so it is absolutely impossible for her to judge more comprehensively than them.

Not only a few Taoists questioned Master Xuanyi's favoritism towards Ling Chu, but many officials present also had the same doubts.

Some people even secretly thought that Xuanyi Zhenren did not want to be the national teacher, but let his disciples come forward just to make it easier for him to hide behind and control.

What kind of person is Xuanyi Zhenren? He saw through the thoughts of those who questioned him at a glance. However, he was not angry at all, and his expression remained calm.

Xuanyi Zhenren originally planned to let Master Wei Ran come forward to compare the results of the six of them personally.

Xuanyi Zhenren was generous and did not want to care.

Ling Chu did not want to see him being questioned by anyone.

But she did not argue, but turned directly to the young master Liu selected by the emperor.

"Master Liu, your mother died of illness when you were three years old?"

"Yes."

"You were nine years old when your father fell off his horse and died, right?"

"Yes."

"You have five brothers and sisters in your family, including you..."

Master Wei Ran, whose heart was getting heavier as he listened, had his eyes brightened, "Princess Jiashan must have made a wrong judgment. Master Liu only has two brothers and a sister, and he is the only four, so how can there be five?"

Ling Chu glanced at him sideways, without refuting, and only asked Master Liu.

"Your eldest brother drowned at the age of eleven, your second brother fell and injured his head at the age of eight and is now only three years old, and your eldest sister broke her leg at the age of nine and is unable to walk.

When your mother died, the fetus in her womb was only three months old, is that right?"

Liu Jinyuan pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "That's right."

Master Wei Ran was speechless, he didn't even calculate that when Master Liu's mother died, there were two bodies.

"Master Liu's family has a lot of property, but you only have the ancestral house in your name, and your money is actually managed by your relatives."

"Yes."

Master Wei Ran opened his lips, and the words of rebuttal came to his lips, but when he heard what Master Liu said, he smiled bitterly and swallowed it back.

"Mr. Liu, your teacher said that you have the talent to be the top scholar, but you always fail in every exam, big or small. Is that right?"

"The princess is indeed a disciple of Master Xuanyi, and her judgments are never wrong."

Master Lu glanced at Ling Chu and said with a sincere heart, "The princess's physiognomy is really amazing."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to compete in the third round of star observation. Princess Jiashan's mysterious skills are enough to assist the country's destiny."

Master Wei Ran and the other three Taoists looked at each other, and they all saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to stop and compete again.

They have studied the mysterious skills for many years, but they are not as good as a girl who has just come of age. It would be even more embarrassing to compete with her.

Princess Jiashan is very capable at a young age. It seems that she is not only smart, but also talented.

Ling Chu was speechless. Star observation is extremely laborious. In order not to embarrass her master, she was going to bite her teeth and go.

Unexpectedly, those Taoists did not want to continue the competition.

Ling Chu was still thinking about how to persuade her senior brother to take over the position of the national teacher, but she didn't expect the emperor to make the final decision and publicly decree to grant her the position of national teacher.

He also suddenly asked Eunuch An to take out an imperial edict and read it out.

"… I have heard that Han Chu, the daughter of Dingyuan King Han Jingning, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding character and appearance. I am very pleased to hear it. Now that the prince has reached the age of twenty, it is time for him to get married. I will betroth you to the prince as the princess and choose a good day to get married..."
