Chapter 153 How could I be willing to be someone else's partner?
This is indeed a bit strange to say.
Li Ce didn't believe it at all.
He never believed in ghosts and gods, let alone that a fairy reincarnated and "happened" to appear on Mount Wangwu, performing her "magic" and being seen by her father.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world?
Someone must have planned this carefully.
But the person behind the scenes is really powerful.
He was able to sneak someone in front of my father without telling anyone, and he was able to use deception to deceive so many people.
Li Ce's eyes moved.
He knew the emperor's temper, so he did not refute but just smiled.
"If that's the case, then I'd like to broaden my horizons. Father, why don't you ask Fairy Ling to show us her magic again?"
The emperor thought about it and nodded seriously.
"That's right, everyone should come and see it."
Thinking of this, he immediately asked someone to invite Ling Lan over.
Ling Lan's residence was not far away, and they arrived there quickly.
Ling Lan did not refuse the emperor's request, but was a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that due to the limitations of this mortal body, every time you use a magic, you can't use it again in a short period of time. If your Majesty wants to see the flowers blooming, I can't do it now. However, I can show you another trick, which is to freeze water into ice."
As long as he could see the magic, the emperor had no objection and agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to go back and make some preparations."
Ling Lan left first.
Li Ce took the opportunity to call over several of his uncles, cousins, and the brothers Prince Ding and Prince Liang.
Jiang Wanyue also got the news, and couldn't resist Xiuchun and Mier's curiosity, so she took them to see it.
As the master and servant walked out of the bedroom, they unexpectedly ran into Doctor Zeng.
Doctor Zeng was very puzzled when he saw them going out.
"Where is Liang Di going at this time? It's time to take her pulse."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiuchun rushed to reply, "I heard that Fairy Ling is going to perform magic, and the master wants to take us to see it! Doctor Zeng, will you come too?"
"That's right, she's a fairy! It's a rare opportunity."
Mi'er also joined in.
Dr. Zeng resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"It's just a trick of a quack. It's fine if others believe it, but could it be that Lady Liang and His Highness also believe it?"
Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips and smiled.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, we just want to go and watch the fun. Doctor Zeng, why don't you come with us? His Highness is here too, so you don't have to run back and forth later."
Mi'er smiled and pulled Doctor Zeng, not caring whether he was willing or not, and dragged him towards the main hall.
They have known Dr. Zeng for a long time and have experienced a lot with him, so they treat him as one of their own and get along with him very naturally.
Doctor Zeng reluctantly followed them.
However, as a doctor, he could not enter the palace, so Mi'er pulled him to hide behind two palace maids and watch secretly.
There were many people sitting on both sides of the hall. Jiang Wanyue quietly came and stood behind Li Ce, staring at Ling Lan without blinking.
Ling Lan stood in the center of the hall. On a tripod in front of him was a shallow copper basin, which was wide enough for two people to hug.
Next to the copper basin was a smaller soup bowl, which was the soup bowl used for daily drinking.
Seeing that everyone was present, Ling Lan took two steps forward, placed his hands above the copper basin, and moved his ten fingers slightly, making strange gestures.
She changed her clothes today. Although they were still white, the style was different.
Jiang Wanyue took a few glances and confirmed that it was a wide-sleeved Liuxian skirt.
The long cuffs fluttered back and forth with her movements, making people dazzled.
Suddenly, Ling Lan stopped moving his hands, held his right hand with his left hand, put his right index finger and ring finger together, and pointed at the copper basin.
"Come on the ice!"
With a light scolding, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the copper basin, not daring to even blink, for fear of missing the moment when the water turned into ice.
But after waiting for a few seconds, there was no change in the water in the copper basin.
I don't know who muttered.
"It hasn't changed at all! Could it be a failure?"
Ling Lan chuckled and didn't explain, but picked up the soup bowl beside him.
She added some water to the soup bowl, then picked up the bowl and gently placed it in the copper basin.
In the blink of an eye, the water in the bowl actually froze into ice!
Everyone looked at this scene in shock.
Ling Lan took out the frozen bowl, turned around, and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor laughed three times.
"It's amazing! The fairy is really powerful!"
Ling Lan tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Ce: "What do you think, Prince?"
Li Ce's eyes were gloomy.
He had been staring at it just now, but didn't see any flaws.
Can this little girl really turn water into ice?
So can she turn stone into gold?
Li Ce didn't say anything, but the eyes of others looking at Ling Lan had changed, with a little more passion and awe.
Ling Lan still looked calm as he handed the bowl of ice to the palace servant beside him.
"Ling Lan made a fool of himself."
"The fairy is truly a deity!"
Prince Liang's eyes lit up.
"I wonder if the fairy knows other magic skills?"
Ling Lan bowed towards Prince Liang.
"Yes, Your Majesty, of course I have it. What do you want to ask for?"
He took off the purse from around his waist.
"I would like to ask the fairy to restore my jade pendant. This jade pendant was given to me by my father when I was young, and it was accidentally broken."
Ling Lan smiled slightly, walked up to King Liang, stretched out a finger and pointed at the purse.
"Why don't you take another look, Your Majesty?"
Prince Liang opened his purse and exclaimed in surprise.
"My God!"
He excitedly took out the jade pendant inside.
It was an intact milky white jade pendant without any scratches.
"The fairy is so amazing!"
This made the others even more excited.
Someone also wanted to ask the fairy for help, but at this moment, Ling Lan's body suddenly shook.
She held on to the tripod to steady herself.
"Sorry, my immortal power is unstable. I need to go back and rest."
The emperor hurriedly called for help.
"Why don't you help the fairy go back and rest?!"
Two palace maids hurried forward and carefully helped Ling Lan out.
The emperor waved his hand, asking everyone to disperse, and then looked at Li Ce.
"What do you think, Ce'er?"
Li Ce cupped his hands.
"My son is amazed."
The emperor patted Li Ce on the shoulder.
"This is a blessing for our Great Zhou! When I return, I will announce it to the world and ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious day."
These words were like a bolt of thunder hitting Jiang Wanyue.
A sharp light flashed in her eyes and she turned her head to look outside the door.
It turns out that there is a plan!
However, what Jiang Wanyue didn’t understand was, did Ling Lan go through so much trouble just to marry Li Ce and become the Crown Princess?
Are all fairies in the world so narrow-minded?
If I were a fairy and came down to earth, I would definitely recruit heroes and establish myself as an emperor. How could I be willing to be a supporting role for others? To be inferior to others?
