Chapter 280 Underestimated Him!
Yuan Tian's words shocked the whole audience.
Even the emperor was shocked at this moment, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Although everyone knew that Yuan Tian would not say anything good when he was fortune-telling for Chu Ning, he actually said such words concerning the throne in front of everyone.
This is not going to end well.
You want to say that Yuan Tian is talking nonsense, but his reputation is there, and he is the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty. You can't punish him, right?
But if Yuan Tian was acknowledged, it would be equivalent to acknowledging that Chu Ning would be the next emperor.
This old Taoist is here intentionally to cause trouble!
The emperor thought about it and felt that only he could handle this situation.
Just when he was about to cough dryly to attract everyone's attention, Chu Ning took a step forward and laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha~"
The deafening laughter brought everyone back to their senses.
Yuan Tian was stunned: "Your Highness the King of Chu, why are you laughing?"
Chu Ning grinned: "Although I am not well-educated, I have seen many people doing fortune-telling on the streets, and even I can do it myself!"
This is a challenge to Yuan Tian’s authority!
How can a folk fortune teller compare with the famous imperial master of the Tang Dynasty?
Even the emperor couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this, and scolded: "Chu Ning, stop making trouble. How can those little tricks you played among the people compare with those of Master Yuan?"
Chu Ning grinned: "Father, I am not kidding. I can also do fortune telling."
The emperor couldn't help rolling his eyes.
You come from the common people, have come into contact with all kinds of people, and you dare to show off in front of the imperial master of the Tang Dynasty just because you know a few tricks?
Just as the emperor was about to reprimand him again, the prince, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Father, why don't you let my eighteenth brother give it a try?"
The emperor was stunned and looked at the prince in disbelief.
Oh no, the prince took Yuan Tian’s words seriously.
This is an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to embarrass Chu Ning!
However, as the crown prince, he must have been resentful when Yuan Tian said in public that Chu Ning would be the next emperor.
Well, let's just give the prince some face and suppress Chu Ning at the same time to prevent this kid from getting too proud of himself.
Considering the need to balance the forces of both sides, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Since the prince has said so, I can't refuse."
He turned to look at Chu Ning and pretended to be displeased and said, "Don't you think you can also guess the word? Come on, guess the word Ning that you just said."
You kid, you don’t even listen to me, then I’ll make a fool of yourself.
Let’s see how you guess the fortune in public.
Yuan Tian has already tested this word, how can you test it again?
Just in case, the emperor took a look at Shen Wanying behind Chu Ning and said calmly:
“Princess Chu, you can’t give advice to Chu Ning.”
After all, she is the most talented woman in the Great Chu. There is no guarantee that Shen Wanying will not help. Chu Ning's retreat must be blocked in advance.
Shen Wanying bowed slightly to the emperor to show her attitude.
Chu Ning, however, looked nonchalant and said with a sly smile, "I believe everyone understands the literal meaning of the word 'Ning', which means to be tranquil and far-sighted, to be indifferent to external things, and not to like noise."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his full of style instantly stunned everyone.
Even Yuan Tian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Ning could actually say such a profound truth.
The key is that these words don't seem to match his.
While thinking, Chu Ning smiled again and said, "In the five elements, Ning belongs to fire, and our Great Chu Dynasty is located to the east of the nine dynasties and belongs to wood, which does not match the fire attribute."
These words made the old King Qin's cloudy eyes tremble suddenly and his white eyebrows flash, but then he slowly closed his eyes.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, a look of ease on his face.
This kid Chu Ning is really capable. I underestimated him!
But who did he learn these things from?
Just as the emperor was surprised, Chu Ning said, "Just now, Master Yuan separated the word Ning, so I will put it together.
Our Great Chu belongs to the element of wood. The word Ning plus the word Mu is the word Ning. Ning is the name of a tree. Its bark can be used as medicine to treat colds.
This word "lemon" is different from what Master Yuan just said. This thing is a peaceful thing, not what you just said."
Yuan Tian used the method of splitting characters, while Chu Ning used the method of combining characters.
You said I would be the fourth emperor of the Great Chu, and I said that I am peaceful and do not like fighting.
This operation completely confused Yuan Tian.
I thought Chu Ning was just joking, but I didn't expect this guy could actually tell fortunes?
And the result is exactly the opposite of your own?
Yuan Tian's sage-like face suddenly lost its composure.
"Your Highness, Prince Chu, this fortune telling needs to be based on the actual situation. You can't just add a few radicals and call it fortune telling!"
Yuan Tian tried to defend himself and said in a deep voice: "This word Ning is not as complicated as you said!"
The prince also said in a cold voice at this moment: "Eighteenth brother, whether it is fortune-telling or fortune-telling, Master Yuan has always been able to make every possible plan!"
"is it?"
Chu Ning suddenly grinned and said, "If it is true as Master Yuan said, I am the next generation king, wouldn't I also have the purple aura?
But Master Yuan just said that he couldn’t predict the fate of an emperor. Isn’t this a contradiction?”
When it comes to talking skills, Chu Ning is not even afraid of Ni Heng, so why would he be afraid of Yuan Tian?
But Yuan Tian was not to be outdone, and said in a deep voice: "Before you ascend the throne, the purple aura will not be on you, King Chu."
"Oh? That's even more wrong!" Chu Ning said with a smile: "Without the purple energy on me, how can you determine that I am destined to be an emperor?"
"This……"
Yuan Tian was speechless for a moment.
Although he knew that Chu Ning was being unreasonable, he really couldn't explain it clearly at the moment.
The emperor narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, and immediately snorted coldly: "Alright, Chu Ning, you can leave now."
Chu Ning grinned, stopped talking, and retreated to Shen Wanying's side.
At this point, the emperor could not let Yuan Tian continue, so he could only act as a peacemaker and stood up and said calmly:
"Master Yuan, today's matter ends here. I hope you will keep what happened just now in your heart forever and don't spread it out."
Yuan Tian's expression changed slightly, he saluted and said in a deep voice: "I will remember this."
Anyway, the words have been said, and they don't have to go through my mouth to be spread in the future.
There are so many princes at the scene. What if it was these people who spread the news?
Even if these people didn't spread the news, they must have already planted suspicion towards Chu Ning in their hearts.
Next, the Great Chu Dynasty will be very lively!
When Yuan Tian was secretly delighted, the emperor swung his sleeves and said loudly: "No one is allowed to spread what happened today. Those who violate the order will be severely punished!"
After saying this, the emperor stood up and left. Everyone bowed and saluted: "Farewell, Your Majesty (Father)!"
As soon as the emperor left, everyone left as well.
After everyone left, Yuan Tian bowed to Chu Ning and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me if I have offended you today."
Chu Ning sneered: "You also know that you have offended me today? Do you know that what you said just now is equivalent to roasting me on the fire?
You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I will not let you leave Kyoto City easily!"
Want to leave after taking advantage?
There are no doors!
