Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...It would be bad if the fire didn't burn others but burned yourself, which is too tragic.
Let’s just forget it!
After a few civil servants reported a few unimportant matters, the crowd fell silent and no one came forward to report again.
The emperor thought the time was right and made a suggestion: "Dongsheng has never had a national master who is good at fortune-telling. Today I want to appoint Princess Lingxiao as the national master of this dynasty. Do you have any objections?"
All the civil and military officials below had stunned expressions and didn't know what the emperor was talking about.
Appointing a two-year-old girl as the national teacher? Are you sure you are not joking?
Is there no one left in Dongsheng? Do we have to rely on a two-year-old to predict the fate of the country? Can she tell fortunes? Can Princess Lingxiao do it? She is only two years old.
Is the emperor crazy?
Chu Xiaoxiao glanced back at the emperor and rolled her eyes in displeasure.
[Humph! The emperor is crazy, I'm sure. You want me, a baby, to be the imperial teacher? What do you think? It's true that I can tell fortunes, but I can't be promoted to the imperial teacher. It will be exhausting.]
"Your Majesty! No!"
The old Duke was the first to kneel down and object. His granddaughter didn't want to be a royal teacher. A two-year-old girl shouldn't be in the spotlight.
Chu Zhinan knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please take back your order. Princess Lingxiao is still a baby, and she is not fit for any important task."
Then Chu Zhixi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
The civil and military officials were still hesitating, but when they saw the Chu family members stand up to oppose first, they all followed suit.
"Your Majesty! I object. Princess Lingxiao is too young. She doesn't know how to do anything except eating. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock to let such a young baby be the imperial teacher?"
Milk ball glanced at the old man who was talking with an unhappy expression. He held the bottle and took a sip of milk to suppress the anger in his heart.
[Humph! Master Liu's words are too harsh. If you want to object, then object. What do you mean I can't do anything except eating? I can do a lot more.
I wanted to take some time to remind you that your son has been possessed by a rat spirit and will die in a few days. Now that you've pissed me off, I'm too lazy to remind you. 】
emperor:"......"
What? Master Liu's son is possessed by a rat spirit? Is this true? Which son?
Li Sizu: “…”
Master Liu! Do you know what you just lost? A son!
Black charcoal head: "......"
What's the point of being a lousy national teacher? It's ridiculous that everyone is strongly opposing him.
"Your Majesty! You must not appoint people based on personal connections. This is a taboo for an emperor. I beg Your Majesty to take back your order. The Imperial Master is the one who predicts the fate of the country. How can an ignorant child take on such an important task?"
This time it was Prime Minister Qian who spoke, not the Queen's father, Prime Minister Du. The Queen had already revealed a little bit of information about Chu Xiaoxiao's ability to her father.
Not much, just a little.
This was what the Empress sent someone to inform the Emperor on the first day he brought Chu Xiaoxiao to court.
Prime Minister Du was a thoughtful man. Later, when he saw that the General Zhenguo kept clamoring to drink the milk in Princess Lingxiao's bottle, he knew that things were not as simple as they seemed.
This girl from the Chu family definitely has magical powers, and they are very powerful. However, he has no evidence and dares not speak nonsense. He only tells his family that when they meet Princess Lingxiao, they must treat her with special courtesy.
[Prime Minister Qian's vision is too shallow, he only looks at the surface of things, no wonder his mother didn't even know that she had two younger brothers. How could such a person become the prime minister? The emperor's vision is not good! ]
emperor:"......"
Xiaoxiao! Can we not bring collective punishment? Prime Minister Qian is not very good at judging people, but everything else is OK.
Li Sizu was almost confused in his little head. It was said that Prime Minister Qian's father had died when he was only five years old, and it had been more than forty years.
His mother only gave birth to him, and Old Madam Qian was portrayed as a widowed mother who worked tirelessly to raise her son and cultivate his talent.
Suddenly, she said she had two sons with someone else outside. Does this character still hold up? Does Prime Minister Qian know about his mother?
[It's ridiculous that Prime Minister Qian's mother tried every means to adopt the two sons she had with her lover as her adopted sons. The whole family lived happily together, the mother was loving and the sons were filial, but Prime Minister Qian was the only one who was kept in the dark. After living together for so many years, she didn't realize there was anything fishy. Prime Minister Qian had an eye disease and needed treatment.]
The emperor glanced down and asked condescendingly: "The high priest of Nanyun Kingdom has already started to take action. My dear ministers do not agree with my appointment of Princess Lingxiao as the national teacher. Is there a better candidate?"
When it comes to the cool and awesome high priest, no one dares to say a word.
Everyone exchanged glances, but no words were spoken in response.
"Your Majesty! It's really a joke to appoint Princess Lingxiao as the Imperial Master. She is just a baby who has not been weaned. It's useless to push her out. She is no match for the High Priest of Nanyun Kingdom."
The one kneeling down was the First Rank Situ Jiang Weizhong. He really couldn't bear to see a two-year-old baby being used as a shield. If he was pushed out to confront the high priest, it would be fatal.
Even if Dongsheng has no one left, he can't rely on a baby. If there is really no other choice, he can take over. Why does he have to resort to a child?
emperor:"......"
What nonsense are you talking about? When did I plot against my little ancestor? Alas! You don't know my little ancestor's methods, no wonder you all died admonishing me.
[Jiang Situ is a loyal man, but unfortunately his wife is weak and sickly. His concubine Yun Yanlan is not content and wants to plot against his son's marriage. If he could give his wife a little bit of the spiritual spring water, maybe he could cure her.]
Li Sizu: “…”
Xiaoxiao! I'll take care of this, don't worry about it.
"Your Majesty! Since you are going to appoint a national teacher, can you let Princess Lingxiao show us some of her skills? This will also help shut up those who are not convinced."
As soon as the Minister of the Central Secretariat He Yingdong finished speaking, the Duke of Zhenguo started to shout: "The magical powers of Princess Lingxiao are not enough to impress everyone. I just want to say that the milk in her bottle is a magical medicine for curing diseases.
Do you know why my husband licked his face and drank the milk from her bottle? In fact, after drinking it, my husband felt relaxed, clear-headed and relaxed.
Even the old wounds on her body have healed, and she no longer feels any pain. She sleeps well and eats even better. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her for a sip of milk and try it.”
Chu family: "......"
How dare you say that? Isn't it too shameless to always be thinking about the milk my child drinks?
The emperor refused: "No, how can I share the child's milk with you casually?" If the little ancestor did not mix the spiritual spring water into the breast milk, it would be useless to drink it.
Besides, the little ancestor didn't want to be the national teacher at all. She was sure that she would never pour spiritual spring water into the bottle. The trick of the Duke of Zhenguo was too stupid and would cause trouble.
The Duke of Zhenguo didn't know what was going on and thought that the emperor was afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao would cry, so he patted his chest and made the assurance.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! The milk in Princess Lingxiao's bottle is really effective. As long as she drinks it, it will definitely work. I have drunk it twice, and the effect is better than a panacea."
