Chapter 21 Praying for Blessings
"Good!"
"Well said!"
All the princes applauded, and Emperor Yibo was happy, especially Lin Yize, who was simply flattering, and when he looked at Lin Cangqiong again, it was still faint.
Qin Lei'er originally thought that this Shi Tian was famous, and he must have some real skills, but now it looked no different from other charlatans, and sneered.
The excitement of the crowd reached a climax, and suddenly a loud voice came from the crowd.
"Please Master Shi do it and pray for us!"
"Please Master Shi do it and pray for us!"
The shouts below came and went, one louder than the other.
Qin Aocheng took a sip of wine, obviously very happy, "Shi Aiqing, then you will convey the public opinion to the heavens." ”
Here's your chance! Lin Yize was overjoyed in his heart, just waiting for this time!
"We must live up to the emperor's trust!"
Shi Tian turned around again, and the auspiciousness in the sky instantly dissipated, and he stood on the stage, muttering something in his mouth, and nodding pretendically.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has just conveyed the public opinion to the heavens, but, just,"
"Just what? Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
"Just now I learned that we are going to have a great catastrophe in the near future! It will displace many people, and the people will have no livelihood!"
Everyone was shocked! The people below have begun to talk about it.
Qin Aocheng's face remained unchanged, and the country was in chaos, which proved that this emperor was not good enough, and he attracted the wrath of heaven to punish his people.
"I don't know if Shi Aiqing has a way to crack it." Qin Aocheng spoke, and there was silence.
"Back to the emperor, there is a way to crack it, do you remember that more than ten years ago, I told the fortune of the fifth prince that he was a lone star?"
This story spread all over the streets and alleys back then, and even the children on the side of the road knew about it.
Lin Cangqiong glanced at Shi Tian lightly, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Originally, it didn't hurt for the fifth prince as long as he didn't get close to the woman, but the minister recently suddenly calculated that there was suddenly an extra calamity star in our Qingcang Continent,"
"Scourge? How? ”
"This evil star is taken from the meaning of calamity to the country and the people, it is the disaster of the red face, originally with this heavenly evil lone star as a pair, the two can complement each other, respectively resolve the bad luck of their own life, and can also resolve this calamity, but unfortunately this calamity star is mismatched, and the time is coming, resulting in a catastrophe." Shi Tian explained.
"Mismatched?" Lin Aocheng muttered,
"I wonder if the scourge star that the master said can be in it today?" It was Lin Yize who spoke, adding a fire by the way.
"Naturally, it's there."
"I don't know if the master can tell who it is, and we can resolve this conflict."
Shi Tian pretended to sigh, "That's it, she is Qin Lei'er, the eldest lady from the Qin Mansion!" ”
The crowd was in an uproar!
They also know the reputation of this Qin Lei'er, she doesn't learn and has no skills, and she is even as ugly as a yaksha, although she was married by the emperor as the fiancée of the fourth prince since she was a child, but the four princes also ignored her. is quite interested in her sister-in-law, and this matter has also spread all over the circle of noblewomen in the capital.
"Qin Lei'er is there?" Lin Aocheng opened his mouth and asked,
Everyone is also looking forward to it, wanting to know what this "famous" woman looks like.
"The courtiers are here,"
The voice was gentle, like a yellow bird.
A woman in a white dress stood up in the crowd, although the color was plain, but it did not give people a sense of gloom, and a hairpin was simply inserted on her head, with a unique pattern and very luxurious.
"Shhhh
"It turned out to be her!"
"This is, Qin Lei'er? How can it be! Lin Yize's heart was shocked.
Also shocked were Dongfang Yue and Qin Mu'er, who just glanced at it lightly, and no one paid attention to it, after all, standing by the side of the fifth prince Lin Cangqiong, who dared to take a second look, but I didn't expect it to be her!
Qin Lei'er indifferently accepted all the strange gazes, straightened up, slowly leaned down, and performed a standard salute, even the older grandmothers in the palace couldn't find the slightest mistake.
After a set of ceremonies, the hem of the clothes did not move at all, and this scene attracted the praise of all the noble ladies.
How did they not know that this General Qin's concubine had such a demeanor?
Such a stunning beauty is still said to be as ugly as a yaksha?
Who has spread the rumors all these years?
Everyone gave their eyes to Dongfang Yue next to them.
"Oh? I have the impression that when I was a child, your father brought you to the palace, and I saw you, and I was smart at the time, but I didn't expect to become a big girl now. ”
Qin Lei'er just lowered her head and listened quietly, without a trace of expression, even more calm and composed.
Lin Cangqiong looked at the expressions of the princes and ministers around him who couldn't help but be fascinated, and suddenly felt a sense of annoyance in his heart.
"Since Master Shi said so today, then your marriage with Yi'er will be canceled, and I will give you to the fifth prince Lin Cangqiong today, and wait until the Ministry of Rites calculates a good day and an auspicious day, and the marriage will be completed in a few days."
The audience was in an uproar!
No one expected that the emperor would make up his mind so soon.
However, this is also a major event related to the national ancestry, and everyone calmed down and celebrated.
Lin Yize looked at Qin Lei'er who was in the city below, and his heart was a little complicated.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to."
A word shook a thousand waves.
"What!?"
"She dared to refuse the marriage in public, or was it a marriage given by the emperor?"
"Even if she is General Qin's daughter, she shouldn't be presumptuous!"
Lin Aocheng is interested, after so many years, it is the first time that someone dares to disobey him.
"There's nothing wrong with the courtiers liking the five princes, and they have always wanted to marry the five princes."
What the!?
Since the fifth prince was called the Tiansha Lone Star, this is the first time that a girl has said that she likes the fifth prince, and this Qin Leier is not Lin Yize's fiancée? How so?
Everyone looked at Lin Yize with inquiring eyes.
Qin Mu'er looked at Qin Lei'er, her eyes were full of resentment, Qin Lei'er, when you marry Lin Cangqiong, you will die without me doing anything!
"Oh? So what do you mean by refusing to marry? ”
Lin Aocheng's words are still echoing in his ears, why refuse? It's because I can't be at anyone's mercy! My fate and marriage should be in my own hands! It's not someone else who can decide my marriage with just one mouth!
Lin Cangqiong looked at Qin Lei'er with her head down, not saying a word, her heart was very complicated, didn't this mean anything?
"Back to the emperor, the marriage of the courtiers hopes to be able to make their own decisions, instead of being fiddled with like a commodity, and the marriage and re-marriage are all decided by one person!"
There was an instant silence in the hall.
"Does she know what she's talking about!?"
"Don't die, you actually challenge the imperial power!"
"Father, since she is so ignorant, why don't you give her to death, so that our hidden danger will be solved soon?"
It was the fourth princess who spoke, and a vicious light flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, since she doesn't want to be like a commodity, you might as well give her death, and the consequences have been decided."
It was Li Jiaqi who echoed, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
Heh, I knew that if Qin Lei'er had been in the past, maybe she would have died here today, but it's a pity.
"Your Majesty, I am also a Qitian Master, and I can't listen to what Shi Tian said!"
What the!? Qin Lei'er is also a Qitian Master!? How can it be!?
Shi Tiandao: "Your Majesty, you know the scarcity of Qitian Masters, but it's not the flowers and plants on the street, how can anyone say yes?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, pretending to be a Qitian Master is a big sin."
"That's it, Shi Tian is a serious Qitian Master, he said no, this is the crime of bullying the king at all."
Li Jiaqi and the fourth princess sang and harmonized, and continued to fan the flames beside them.
"Shut up."
Lin Aocheng was not angry and arrogant, and the simple two words that came out of his mouth made people a little frightened.
Li Jiaqi hurriedly closed her mouth, but the fourth princess still didn't give up, she was simply coquettish in front of Lin Aocheng on weekdays, and Lin Aocheng had always been used to her.
"Father! In my opinion, not only should she marry the fifth uncle as soon as possible to avoid a national disaster, but also let her brother and younger brother join the army, so that she knows the fate of disobeying her father! ”
Lin Aocheng suddenly turned his head and stared at the fourth princess and said, "I told you to stop talking, don't you understand?" ”
He had never treated the fourth princess like this, and the fourth princess was also stunned by her father's appearance for a while, so she had to pout and stand aside.
"Qin Lei'er, you said that you are the Qitian Master, do you know what the crime of bullying the king is?"
Qin Lei'er said indifferently: "I know, in today's world, no one dares to lie to Your Majesty, if there is, then he must not be far from death." After finishing speaking, he also glanced at Shi Tian.
Shi Tian was really a little weak when she looked at her, and he blew his beard angrily and stared at him.
Lin Aocheng nodded and said: "Well, it's good if you know, so let's do it, you will go on stage to ask for rain and prove it to everyone, if you dare to lie, you will be severely punished." ”
Hahaha!
Seeing that the situation has developed to this point, many people at the bottom are happy, Qin Lei'er has driven herself to a dead end, and dares to deceive the emperor in front of so many people, even if she doesn't die, it is enough for her to take off ten layers of skin!
Lin Cangqiong stood aside with an expressionless face, this woman is really extraordinary, she actually dares to say this, then she must have her reasons.
Shi Tian, who was originally standing on the high platform, also took the initiative to give up his position, Qitian Masters were very rare, and they were all familiar with each other, he had never heard of this Qin Lei'er!
Qin Lei'er walked up to the high platform without being humble or arrogant, and while Cui used her own aura, she swayed down the rune paper she had refined.
Everyone stared at Qin Lei'er intently, including Lin Aocheng, he also thought that General Qin's eldest daughter was just in the boudoir and didn't understand the rules, so if she made a fuss, she would just give her a little punishment, but he didn't expect her to really look good, could it be that she could really ask for rain?
As Qin Lei'er scattered the third rune paper, the weather soon changed.
Yunsheng is in the northwest, and the fog is in the southeast!
The sky was still clear just now, and in an instant, the sea of clouds surged, followed by a clattering thunder, and the rain was like a downpour!
The rain came quickly and heavily, and the maid behind Lin Aocheng hurriedly opened the umbrella for him, and everyone was overjoyed, they didn't expect Qin Lei'er to be so smart!
