In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

Chapter 484 Heartbroken

Hearing the laughter, Qingfeng squinted and looked back.

There were not many seats on the Emperor's side. Except for a few people with high enough status who were assigned seats, most of the other officials could only stand aside.

Originally, everyone was looking up at the Taoist priests sitting on the altar.

Hearing the sneers, everyone glared at the person who spoke and quickly stepped aside.

They were all slandering in their hearts, I am afraid this Uncle Zhongqin is not a fool.

Although it is not yet known whether Princess Jiashan can win the competition, after all, she is a princess personally granted the title by the emperor, and her father, King Dingyuan, master Xuan Yi, and two senior brothers are all here.

Uncle Zhongqin was so shameless that he dared to taunt him in front of so many people.

Uncle Zhongqin also knew that Lingchu was no longer the down-and-out lady whose house was confiscated and could be bullied by him at will. But thinking about his daughter Guo Rong, he couldn't help but get angry.

If it hadn't been for this princess, nothing would have happened to Zhao Guogong, his wife and his son, and his daughter would not have been able to become the imperial concubine, and would have been forced to serve as a lowly concubine for Zhao Jingming.

As a result, he could not get any benefit from the Zhao family.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhongqin became angry.

Seeing that other Taoist priests were on the altar but Princess Jiashan was not moving, he couldn't help but taunt him.

He originally thought that if he hid among the officials, even if the princess heard him, she would not know who he was.

Unexpectedly, everyone turned away and exposed him without any mercy.

Qingfeng glared at Uncle Zhongqin coldly, not even giving him any face, "You are so good, go ahead. I must defeat those five Taoist priests, otherwise you will lose the emperor's face. I am sorry for you." Earldom."

Being humiliated in front of so many people, Uncle Zhongqin's face turned purple. However, due to his identity as Prince Qingfengrui, he dared not speak out in anger.

Lingchu knew why Uncle Zhongqin wanted to ridicule her, but he didn't bother to pay attention.

She had broken off her engagement with the crown prince Zhao Guogong a long time ago, and had no intention of having anything to do with him or anyone related to him.

Ling Chu glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, a Taoist priest has started to practice."

Ling Chu came back to his senses and glanced at the five Taoists on the altar.

It was found that the first people to start the practice were Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng of Baiyun Temple.

The platform chosen by these two people is not high, only ten feet, and it happens to be one on the left and one on the right.

Xu Shishi came from the same school, and their movements were in sync. First, he took out various magical instruments from his bag and placed them on the stage. Then he lit incense and paid homage to heaven and earth before inserting them into the incense burner.

Then he drew out his long sword and started doing it.

The emperor personally led all the officials out to watch the mysterious art. The eunuchs and maids in the palace couldn't help but be curious, and they all put down their work and ran over to watch.

Ling Chu's eyes fell on the two Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng.

Although the two people's moves are just average and not amazing, it can be seen that their basic skills are very solid and they are not just showy tricks.

Most of the people present did not understand occult arts, but when they saw the two Taoist priests who were practicing on the high platform with solemn expressions and dazzled with the long swords in their hands, they were curious and full of admiration at the same time.

As the lengthy incantation was recited, the expressions of the two Taoist priests became more focused and the movements of their hands became faster.

The originally clear sky slowly turned gray.

Everyone kept raising their heads curiously, waiting for the wind to rise and the rain to fall.

I thought that the wind and rain would be summoned soon, but I didn't expect that a quarter of an hour later, the two Taoist priests had not finished chanting the incantation.

Although they were exhausted from keeping their heads raised and their necks raised, there was no hint of impatience in the emperor's expression. No one dared to say anything, so they could only continue to read patiently.

Just when everyone was impatient, the long sword in the hand of Taoist Master Mingchuan on the left suddenly pointed toward the sky and shouted, "... Be as urgent as the law!"

Taoist priests Mingchuan Mingchuan and Taoist Liucheng were indeed from the same school. At this moment, the long sword in Taoist priest Liucheng's hand was pointing directly at the sky.

In an instant, a big thunder exploded high in the sky.

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

As the strong wind blew, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

Many palace maids and eunuchs shouted in surprise, "Ah, it's so amazing. You can actually control the wind and rain." The two Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng on the high platform secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out their hands to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, and felt in their hearts Glad I didn't screw it up.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

The palace maids and eunuchs didn't understand, but Ling Chu, Qingfeng and others saw that the two Taoist priests were having difficulty in performing their magic.

Although calling wind and rain is not a very profound magic, not every Taoist master can do it.

However, Taoist priests Mingchuan and Liucheng are considered to have real abilities.

By the time they came down from the altar, the wind and rain had stopped.

To reduce the long wait.

Taoist Priest Yunfeng and Master Wei Ran of Sanqing Mountain also took action at the same time.

The two Taoist priests in front both used magical weapons, and everyone raised their necks, waiting for the two Taoist priests to also show their magical weapons.

Unexpectedly, these two people didn't hold any magic weapons at all. They just sat cross-legged and directly raised their hands to perform the secret.

Even Ling Chu was slightly surprised.

Although the first two Taoist priests successfully summoned wind and rain. But it took them more than a quarter of an hour, and each of them could only show the same spell, which seemed to be a bit difficult.

But Yun Feng and Wei Ran summoned Feng Yu at the same time. Although it took a quarter of an hour, it didn't seem to be strenuous.

It can be seen that their mysterious skills are much higher than those of Mingchuan and Liucheng.

Followed closely was Lu Zhenren from Yongle Palace.

The man looked unspectacular, with an unkempt beard and messy half-white hair. The Taoist robes on his body were washed and turned white. If his face were not still clean, he would look like a beggar.

The legal platform he chose was not high.

Everyone doesn't think highly of him.

Unexpectedly, Master Lu had the highest magic among the five.

It only took him less than half a quarter of an hour to summon wind and rain at the same time.

When he came down from the altar, Uncle Zhongqin looked at Ling Chu with gloating eyes.

Although he didn't understand mystical arts, he could tell from the looks of the other four Taoist priests that Master Lu was very capable.

The five Taoist priests present all came on stage, and Ling Chu was the only one left.

Everyone's eyes turned towards her.

"Princess Jiashan, if you really can't go up, there's nothing wrong with just admitting defeat. After all, you're just a hairdresser, so there's no shame in being inferior to others..."

Uncle Zhongqin's words seemed sincere, but every word hinted that Ling Chu's mystical skills were not as good as those of the five Taoist priests.

Those officials who originally disapproved of Ling Chu's appointment as imperial advisor wanted to follow Uncle Zhongqin's lead and say a few words. But seeing that the prince and Crown Prince Rui had bad expressions on their faces, they hesitated for a moment and then calmed down.

The emperor frowned when he heard Uncle Zhongqin's words.

Xuan Yi's face didn't change much.

Uncle Zhongqin couldn't help but feel proud when he saw that Ling Chu had stopped Qingfeng who wanted to take action.

Seeing Ling Chu raising his hand to make a gesture, he was about to taunt him a few more times. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, a strong wind suddenly rolled towards him.

The strong wind came hard and fast. Before Zhongqin Bo had time to see clearly what happened, he had already fallen hard.

Feeling dizzy, he subconsciously raised his head.

Unexpectedly, a heavy rain fell from the sky, giving him a chill...

This incident happened so quickly that everyone stared blankly at Uncle Zhongqin, who was in a state of embarrassment.

There was only one thought in my mind, the princess’s spells were so fast!
