Chapter 81 What method did Yu Youning use?
Yu Youning's eyes were half open, and there was still a strong sense of sleepiness in them.
After hearing Su Miaoyun's words, he became a little more energetic.
"If you want the Teng Snake to descend, can't you just shout it out? Why do you need to pray... pray for blessings?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoli immediately turned around and looked over, "Yu Youning, how could you be so disrespectful to Teng Snake?"
"I didn't!" Yu Youning shook his head.
She wanted to play with Teng Snake before, and it would appear just by shouting!
She was telling the truth, so how was that disrespectful?
Lin Ruoli's face remained stern. "The Teng Snake is an ancient mythical beast. Whenever it descends, it signifies good weather, peace and prosperity for the next ten years. This matter concerns the country, yet you are so careless. If the Teng Snake learns of this and becomes angry and stops descending, you will be blamed for it!"
Lin Ruoli's voice was cold and sharp, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yu Youning was extremely fierce, as if Yu Youning was already a sinner.
Yu Youning was not frightened, but felt more and more strange.
The Teng Snake that Li'er talked about is completely different from the Teng Snake she knows!
Tengshe has a very good temper, why would he get angry because of a few words from her?
Besides, she didn't say anything!
Yu Youning felt that the Teng Snake that Li'er was talking about was probably not the same Teng Snake she knew.
Thinking this in his mind, he stopped arguing with Lin Ruoli.
Seeing that Yu Youning stopped talking, Lin Ruoli thought she was scared.
After giving Yu Youning another cold look, Lin Ruoli looked away.
Seeing Yu Youning supporting her face with her hands, her little head nodding, and about to fall asleep, Su Miaoyun was very helpless. She didn't disturb her anymore and returned to her seat.
It was almost time for class when Huo Qingchen finally pushed Yu Youning's arm and said, "Youning, wake up. Class is about to start."
Yu Youning tried hard to open his eyes wide, his eyes became so round that his double eyelids turned into triple eyelids.
His eyes were wide open, but empty, and he was obviously not awake yet.
Huo Qingchen looked at him amusedly, "Youning, did you go out to steal last night? Why are you so sleepy?"
Yu Youning shook his head, "I didn't steal! I went to make medicine!"
"What medicine?"
Yu Youning lowered her voice, "Fertility-enhancing pills and longevity-increasing pills."
Huo Qingchen, "???"
Do you know what you are talking about?
Although Yu Youning's golden needles seem to be really powerful, can pills that aid pregnancy and prolong life be made just like that?
Seeing Yu Youning's serious expression, Huo Qingchen still asked, "Did you do it?"
"Of course! I even gave some to the prince! Because he gave me most of the herbs."
The prince actually joined Yu Youning in making trouble?
Huo Qingchen subconsciously looked at the prince, but saw a gentle smile on his face. He nodded slowly, "Youning did make it. He gave me a few of each."
How many were given back?
The corners of Huo Qingchen's mouth twitched.
If he was told that such a magical thing took a lot of effort to make, he would still believe it.
But he couldn't believe that so many could be produced in one day.
Huo Qingchen looked at Yu Youning curiously, "Who did you give the rest to?"
"The longevity pills were given to Grandpa! The fertility pills were given to Aunt Qingran."
Yu Youning said, counting on her white and tender fingers, "In a month, I'll be able to hear good news from Aunt Qingran!"
Seeing that she spoke so seriously, Huo Qingchen subconsciously believed it a little.
Others may not have this ability, but Youning...what if he really does?
They spoke neither loudly nor softly, but Wei Zhao, who was sitting at the same table with Chu Huaixu, heard it clearly and his eyes couldn't help but flash.
Does this little girl named Yu Youning really have such ability?
Then could she...
Wei Zhao lowered his eyes and stopped thinking about it.
Let’s take another look!
He didn't want to experience disappointment again.
Lin Ruoli also heard what Yu Youning said, but didn't take it to heart at all.
Yu Youning just knows how to brag!
First he said that Tengshe could be called out casually, and then he said that he could make fertility-enhancing pills and longevity-increasing pills. It was simply ridiculous!
...
Three days later, an imperial decree was issued from the palace.
Prayers and sacrifices will be held ten days later.
Not all girls of appropriate age can pray for blessings, they must go through the first round of selection.
The selection method is also very simple.
Penglai Island will take out the scales of Teng Snake.
Those who can successfully hold the scales in their hands are eligible to participate in the blessing.
All girls of appropriate age in the capital, regardless of their status or appearance, can participate in the selection.
The selection takes place right at the gate of the imperial city, in front of everyone, and is absolutely fair and just.
Such a grand event used to happen once every ten years.
There was only a five-year gap between this event and the last one, and many people still remembered the grand occasion. When they were watching from the sidelines, they couldn't help but talk about what they had seen and heard before.
Yu Youning came here with Marshal Wen after school.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qingchen and Chu Huaixu were also there, and even Wei Zhao was there.
When the three of them saw Yu Youning, they all looked towards Yu Youning.
Yu Youning looked around. She came here to look for her father and mother! She also wanted to see her grandparents!
She had wanted to go directly to them before, but they told her to wait patiently and not to meet for the time being.
Although she didn't understand why, she didn't cry.
I thought I might be able to see them if I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect they were not here.
Chu Huaixu and the other two had already walked over.
"Youning, do you want to try it too?" Chu Huaixu asked with a smile.
After hearing Chu Huaixu's words, Yu Youning instantly came up with a good idea.
When praying, dad, mom, grandparents must always be present, right?
Then she wants to try it!
"Yes!" Yu Youning nodded vigorously, "I want to join the prayer too!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer.
"You haven't even made it past the first round of selection, and you're already saying you want to participate in the prayer? You're so shameless! Don't cry if you get rejected!"
Yu Youning looked towards the person who was speaking and saw that she was also a little girl of five or six years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes. Just like Lin Ruoli next to her, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes at such a young age.
One of them has an arrogant look, the other one has a proud look, they look like sisters.
Huo Qingchen frowned and took a look, then said to Yu Youning, "Youning, that's the Third Princess."
"Oh." Yu Youning responded indifferently.
The Third Princess became even angrier when she saw Yu Youning's attitude. "Yu Youning, you've just met me and you shouldn't have bowed!"
Chu Huaixu stepped forward and immediately protected Yu Youning behind him. "Changle, if you continue to be unruly and disrespectful, I will ask my mother to send two maids to teach you a lesson."
The third princess's expression changed and she didn't dare to act presumptuously anymore, but she still glared at Yu Youning angrily.
The third princess's biological mother was not very favored and was just a minor noble.
The noble lady lived in Concubine Rong's palace, and the third princess was also raised by Concubine Rong, so naturally she had a close relationship with Lin Ruoli.
Although she had Concubine Rong's support, the Third Princess also knew that if she really confronted the Crown Prince, she would have no chance of winning, so she could only angrily drag Lin Ruoli to go for the test.
"Li'er, let's go take the test. After we pass the test, we can watch some people get embarrassed."
Yu Youning looked at the two people's backs, puzzled, "Who are those people?"
Chu Huaixu touched Yu Youning's head and said, "Youning, you should go and queue up too!"
You will naturally know who certain people are in a moment.
He wasn't sure about others, but there was absolutely no way the Third Princess would pass the test.
Lin Ruoli was in the front of the line and it was soon her turn.
A silver-white scale was seen floating in the air, and Lin Ruoli nervously stretched out her hand towards the scale.
If you are lucky, you can hold the scales in your palm.
If you have no fate, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to touch the scales at all.
Although Lin Ruoli is not very old, after so many years of deliberate publicity by the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and Lin Siqiong, her identity as the girl of destiny is well-known in the capital.
Seeing her stretch out her hand, many people held their breath, wanting to see the result.
Lin Ruoli's hand approached the scales and slowly clenched it.
Her speed was very slow, and the silver-white scales trembled imperceptibly in the air, but were finally grasped in Lin Ruoli's palm.
Seeing this, Lin Ruoli smiled.
Success!
She is indeed the girl of destiny!
Lin Ruoli didn't want to let go of the scales, but she had to, and the scales floated back into the air again.
After Lin Ruoli stood aside, the third princess stepped forward and stretched out her hand.
But no matter how hard he tried, his face turned red and even beads of sweat appeared, but he still couldn't touch the scales.
The third princess didn't believe it and didn't want to embarrass herself, so she persisted for a while, but the result still didn't change.
Low laughter and discussions could be heard from the crowd.
Hearing these voices, the third princess's face turned gloomy and she wished she could order all these people to be killed.
After taking a deep breath, the third princess walked aside.
She stared at Yu Youning who was walking towards her, her eyes full of resentment and contempt.
She, the third princess, born into a wealthy family, failed to succeed, so she didn't believe that Yu Youning, a girl from the country, could succeed!
Lin Ruoli also stared at Yu Youning nervously.
If Yu Youning can't even pass the first round of tests, then there will be a huge gap between her and Yu Youning, and Yu Youning will never be able to catch up with her in this life!
Lin Ruoli was so nervous that she breathed much slower.
Yu Youning didn't look at other people's expressions. She looked at the scales floating in the air and recognized them at a glance. These were the scales of the Teng Snake she knew!
"It's really you!" Yu Youning said with a smile.
When Li'er said that before, she thought there was another Teng Snake in the world!
Yu Youning stretched out her hand, and before she could get close, the white scales seemed to come alive and flew to Yu Youning's hand on their own, circled around her hand, and finally landed steadily on her white palm.
The third princess was filled with shock and murmured, "How could this happen?"
The scales that she could never touch now fell into Yu Youning's palm!
What methods did Yu Youning use?
