The third prince carried Yuan Ruan and walked towards the emperor.

Yuanruan thought that fortune-telling also requires an atmosphere, so she secretly made a heart shape with her fingers.

Suddenly there was a loud explosion in the sky.

Everyone was shocked.

The emperor solemnly pulled the third prince into the house. Other court officials who wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation also rushed in, all with serious expressions and even a little panic.

Yuan Ruan was stunned by the court officials' extreme reaction.

Yuan Ruan: [When I used to make a heart shape with my hands and thunder, everyone was very calm and stood straight. I thought the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty were not afraid of thunder, but I didn't expect that everyone would be so panicked today.]

The corners of the mouths of all the civil and military officials in the court twitched.

I was afraid before, too. After all, every year there would be news about “people walking on the road being struck by lightning”, so I knew that you, the national teacher, were not afraid because you were making a heart shape with your hands… Wait…

The court officials all looked at Yuan Ruan's hand at the same time, and saw that he had his left hand tucked into his chest, making a heart shape with his hands.

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:...

System: [They used to be afraid of thunder too! When the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was in charge of presiding over the sacrifice for the first time, he was frightened to death by thunder and lightning.]

Director of the Imperial Observatory: ...

His face gradually turned red, especially when he noticed that several colleagues were looking at his pants. The director of the Imperial Observatory was glaring at him, raising his fist implicitly, with an aura that said, "If you look at me again, I will hit you."

System: [There is also a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, or the Minister of Rites. Oh, it doesn’t matter. When he was a child, he once witnessed someone being struck to death by lightning, so he is very afraid of lightning. He can’t sleep well during every thunderstorm. Someone must accompany him, and he must sing songs to lull him to sleep before he can fall asleep.]

The Minister of Rites and the Vice Minister of Rites: !!!

The doctor from the Ministry of Rites didn't expect that a private secret would be revealed suddenly. He felt embarrassed but grateful at the same time: Thank you to the system for not naming anyone directly and dragging another person into it. Since another person has been dragged into it, I will definitely take the blame.

Thinking of this, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites suddenly turned his head to look at the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, pretending to be shocked and whispered: "You actually..."

Because the Minister of Rites was the first to react, and his shocked expression was acted so well that people nearby secretly glanced at the Vice Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not me... It's not me..."

But he had no way to defend himself in such a private matter. The Minister of Rites could only shout in his heart: System, please tell me who it is! Who is it? This is really important!

Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. I saw everyone was very calm before, but I didn't expect that in private... maybe there are tens of thousands of Daxia people here. With so many people, the people who were originally afraid are not afraid anymore.]

System: [There is another possibility. With more people, the courtiers who were originally worried and frightened thought that the probability of being struck by lightning would become infinitely small, so they would not be afraid anymore.]

Everyone:...

Yuansoft: [……]

Seeing Yuanruan didn't say anything, the system said weakly: [Aruan, is my analysis wrong? ]

Yuanruan said sincerely: [Top-level understanding is something that most people may not think of. Okay, I'm going to do my work first.]

The system was immediately happy: [Alright. Come on, Aruan! Go, go, go!]

Yuanruan hummed, then took out the small turtle shell from his arms.

She pretended to draw a few circles on the back of the tortoise shell, then said to the emperor: "Father, when the thunder struck just now, I was very uneasy. I read the fortune and it turned out that General Li would get lost in this battle."

It was a bit too much to say in one breath. Yuan Ruan took a deep breath and took a break before continuing: "But as long as General Li covers his eyes while riding for half an hour, he will get an object that can distinguish directions."

Everyone:! ! !

Frog fun, so straightforward!

It was so straightforward that they were stunned.

What stunned them was how to believe the young national teacher's overly rude and outrageous words without appearing to be stupid and blindly following others.

System: [Wow! Ah Ruan, so direct, you don’t even bother to give a reason.]

Yuan Ruan: [In fact, I found many reasons at the beginning, for example, General Li was hit by the eye curse, and the solution is to ride a horse with a mask every day, or tie a belt for half an hour, face the sun directly, and cannot see anything, and you have to do this for seven days... But later I thought about it and it was a bit convoluted and unnecessary. ]

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:! ! !

Little Imperial Master, your previous idea was very good!

It's so mysterious and very suitable! How can it be unnecessary?

The system also asked the same question: [Aruan, I think your idea is also very good. It has a mysterious and ambiguous feeling, which is more in line with your image as a national teacher.]

Yuanruan is very straightforward: [But it doesn’t matter. No matter what I say, they will always listen. ]

Everyone:! ! !

That's right, it is indeed true.

Yuanruan continued: [Instead of talking in a roundabout way, making them guess what I mean and taking detours, it is better to tell them directly what I want to do. Isn't this a more effective way of communication? ]

System: [Aruan, you are awesome! So smart! If they still don’t understand this… well, the officials of the Great Xia court shouldn’t be that stupid. ]

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:...

We are not stupid! But if we just follow your words, it really makes us look blindly obedient and foolish!

At this time, the Third Prince lowered his head and said, "Ninth sister, if we let General Li ride his horse and cover his eyes for half an hour, will we get an object that can tell the direction? What object will we get?"

The whole court was stunned:???

Third Prince, why did you suddenly start asking questions in return?

Yuan Ruan thought about it, and then pretended to stroke the turtle shell. After a pause, he said, "It's not clearly stated in the hexagram, but Zuoyou and Sinan are inseparable."

The Third Prince asked again: "Ninth sister, can you only choose General Li?"

Yuan Ruan thought about it and said hesitantly: "It's better to choose him. After all, he is the most stubborn and easy to get lost."

The third prince nodded repeatedly: "Little Imperial Master, if we don't choose General Li, we have to summon General Li back, right?" "If we summon General Li back, who would be the better replacement?"...

The third prince's mouth was like a machine gun, and he asked a lot of hypothetical questions in a row.

The eyes of the civil and military officials in the court gradually became delighted: !!!

The Third Prince is great! Asking rhetorical questions no longer makes you look blindly obedient and brainless, and the follow-up is easier to follow!

The emperor also set his eyes on the third prince. After looking at him for a while, he turned his head to look at the crown prince and found that his eldest son was looking at the third prince with a face full of satisfaction.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes happened to meet the crown prince's. The emperor clearly saw the crown prince comparing his thumb to the third prince, with an expression that said, "The third prince is more awesome, I am ashamed to be inferior to him."

The emperor chuckled inwardly, without giving the prince any hint, and calmly looked away.
