Chapter 136 Ideas are dangerous
She could only grit her teeth and get through it.
There were so many people, but at this moment it was so quiet that only the sound of slapping hands could be heard. The timid young lady shrank back towards her mother in fear.
The ladies silently comforted their young children.
Lu Liangyi watched from the side, with a light flickering in his eyes.
I hope Your Majesty will not hold a grudge against him because of Qiao Jiaojiao.
He will have to take part in the imperial examination next year, and he cannot leave a bad impression on His Majesty because of this incident.
Qiao Jiaojiao could still feel the pain on her face at first, but later it became completely numb and she only felt her cheeks were burning.
Emperor Jin felt that it was almost done, and then he said calmly: "It's OK."
As soon as the eunuch stopped, Qiao Jiaojiao collapsed to the ground. If she hadn't been supporting herself with her arms, she would have fallen down.
She was in a trance, her eyes were blurry, and she looked confused from the beating.
Emperor Jin said: "Today, I am only teaching you a lesson. You'd better know when to speak in the future."
Qiao Jiaojiao was confused and didn't know how to react.
Su Yunxia, who was kneeling beside her, quickly pulled her and asked her to kowtow.
Emperor Jin didn't care that Qiao Jiaojiao didn't reply. He also knew that Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't speak in this situation.
Emperor Jin turned around and politely said to Master Xuan Jing: "Master, please continue."
Master Xuan Jing nodded slightly, and led everyone to kneel in front.
Qiao Jinlan looked at the people around her kneeling down one after another. She raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on the back of Master Xuan Jing.
She remembered that when Master Xuan Jing invited her to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, she specifically asked Master Xuan Jing if she would like to join him in the prayer.
At that time, Master Xuan Jing's answer was quite affirmative.
Since Master Xuan Jing said so, she would not be polite.
As Qiao Jinlan bent her knees, only a slight clicking sound was heard.
The sound was not loud and was only heard by a few people standing in the front row.
Emperor Jin had already knelt down. He looked up with some confusion towards the place where the sound came from - the altar.
What happened to the altar?
Before Emperor Jin could figure it out, the incense in the incense burner suddenly went out.
Emperor Jin was suddenly shocked. This was not a good sign.
Qiao Jiaojiao, whose head was buzzing from the beating, saw the broken incense and shouted, "Broken, broken..."
Her face hurt so much that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
But everyone understood what she meant.
The fragrance will really break.
Everyone looked at Qiao Jinlan inquiringly.
I found that Qiao Jinlan had not yet kneeled down, but was just about to kneel down with her knees slightly bent to pray.
As she moved, everyone heard a snapping sound, followed by the crackling sound of plates breaking.
Everyone was startled and turned to look forward.
Seeing this, everyone took a deep breath in unison.
The altar broke in the middle, and the incense burner and offerings on it all fell to the ground.
Fresh fruits and incense ashes made the place a mess.
Madam Lu screamed excitedly: "This is a warning from God!"
"Qiao Jinlan is an unlucky person. She is not worthy of kneeling down and praying for blessings!"
Emperor Jin frowned, his eyes were cold.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, but the pain on her face was involved when she laughed, and she couldn't help but gasp.
The sounds of gasps and laughter mixed together, and it was indescribably weird.
Qiao Jinlan frowned and stood up straight instead of kneeling.
Why don't you give her face in front of so many people?
Do you really think she cares about praying?
Qiao Jinlan looked up at the sky, a hint of coldness flashing through her eyes: "It's just good fortune, why are you so stingy?"
"If you get some of it down, will you die?"
Her shout made everyone's hair stand on end.
Is Qiao Jinlan crazy?
Emperor Jin was astonished and quickly looked at Master Xuan Jing. Then, Emperor Jin was stunned.
What does Master Xuan Jing's look of relief mean?
Qiao Jinlan was cursing the gods, which was so disrespectful, but Master Xuan Jing still felt... relieved?
Did Master Xuanjing break his vows and drink fake wine and become confused?
"Qiao Jinlan, you are so insolent!" Anyang Hou shouted, "You..."
"what is that?"
"So bright!"
The exclamations of the crowd interrupted Marquis Anyang's words, and he couldn't help but look up at the sky following everyone's gaze.
Then, his eyes widened and he stared in disbelief at a brilliant ray of light falling from the sky.
He didn't know what it was, but inexplicably, bathed in that glow, he felt as if his whole body was light.
Although it was only a moment, it was enough for him to savor it for a lifetime.
"Auspicious sign, it is an auspicious sign!" Master Xuan Jing exclaimed in surprise and kowtowed respectfully to the heaven.
Emperor Jin was stunned. The mind that was in charge of the entire Great Jin was unable to make sense of the logical relationship.
Dazhen prayed devoutly every year, but the gods never responded.
No matter how hard they tried, their Dazhen was still a barren land abandoned by the gods.
Then, just now, Qiao Jinlan cursed twice, and then... auspicious signs came down?
Was it that the way they prayed before was wrong?
God... only responds to hard actions and not soft ones?
After Master Xuan Jing finished kneeling and stood up, he turned around and saluted Emperor Jin and said, "Your Majesty, this year Da Jin will be blessed with good fortune and prosperity, so you don't have to worry."
The blessings received in previous years were not as much as the auspicious blessing that just came.
Today, Dazhen is enjoying good weather and the people no longer have to suffer from natural disasters.
Emperor Jin suppressed the doubts in his heart and nodded slowly: "This is a blessing for Dajin."
After the New Year’s Eve palace banquet and prayers, everyone goes back to their homes.
However, because of the auspicious sign from heaven, everyone wanted to get to the bottom of it, and no one wanted to leave.
Unfortunately, Master Xuan Jing ignored the people who were looking at him eagerly and followed Emperor Jin away as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that they could not get answers from Master Xuan Jing, the others could only go home with a lot of questions in their minds.
Of course, there were also those who looked at Qiao Jinlan curiously.
There has been no auspicious sign befalling Dazhen for so many years. Could it be because of the two sentences that Qiao Jinlan just said?
As soon as this thought came up, it was fiercely suppressed.
He is a god, how can we offend him at will?
Compared to those doubts, everyone felt that Qiao Jiaojiao who just jumped out was really ridiculous.
She said Qiao Jinlan was an unlucky person, but when she prayed this year, auspicious signs happened to appear.
This has never happened in previous years, and Qiao Jinlan never participated in previous years.
This year, Qiao Jinlan came to pray, and auspicious signs appeared... Regardless of whether the auspicious signs appeared because of Qiao Jinlan's arrival, it at least proved that Qiao Jinlan was not an unlucky person.
This wife of the Crown Prince from the Anyang Marquis’s Mansion is really interesting.
Everyone had already made up their minds to stay away from Anyang Marquis's family in the future.
Emperor Jin didn't care what other people thought. He was most concerned about one thing: "Master Xuan Jing, can we pray in another way?"
Master Xuan Jing: "...Your Majesty, your idea is very dangerous."
