"Your Majesty, Minister Li's sincere love for his son has deeply moved us. We beg for your blessing."

Before the emperor could make any move, several more princes knelt down, all begging for mercy.

The emperor looked at them coldly. He wanted to see what they were up to.

A female voice was heard saying, "Your Majesty, Minister Li's son's illness stems from saving the Fourth Prince. If it weren't for Li Wulang's bravery, I'm afraid the Fourth Prince would be dead. I'm grateful for Minister Li's kindness and have sought help from many famous doctors, but to no avail. I imagine Minister Li was at his wit's end and came up with this foolish move."

It was Wen Baolin who had spoken, and she continued, "Actually, the saying about lucky stars is all nonsense, but if there's hope, we should always try. Even if it doesn't work, Minister Li will be relieved, right?"

The singing and dancing continued in the hall, and the show was just ordinary.

"Wen Baolin knows that the saying of the lucky star is just empty talk, so how can he solemnly ask for it as a favor? If it has no effect, wouldn't Minister Li be disappointed? It would be more appropriate to send some high-quality tonics. I have a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in my palace, which I can give to Minister Li."

Queen Yu and Wen Ge came to the rescue.

"Thank you for your love, Queen. I have already given you a lot, and my family has also asked for a lot, but Li Jia Wulang still has not improved. I feel really regretful and guilty." As she spoke, she pinched the handkerchief with her fingertips and pressed the corners of her eyes.

"So, after hearing Fusheng's words and Minister Li's pleading, she turned to the emperor, knelt lightly, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your Majesty, please forgive me this guilt."

Many ministers responded and only asked the emperor to show mercy.

Qing Ning just found it funny. How could she have deserved this?

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report." Another minister stepped forward. "I've heard that there's a folk saying of 'borrowing blessings.' It would be best if the lucky star could bless you personally, but if not, a purse or some other common item would be fine. Just a little bit of good fortune would be enough."

The emperor suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems as if you, the ministers, have made an appointment today." This sentence startled the kneeling people.

"If I don't agree, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"I dare not"

"I dare not"

He glanced at the people below him, glanced at Wen Baolin, and suddenly said to Qing Ning, "Qing Ning, they all say you are a lucky star and beg me to grant you blessings. What should I do?"

The rest of the people also lost interest and looked here.

When Qing Ning heard Emperor Rui Jing's question, she was not at all flustered. She stepped forward and bowed politely.

"Your Majesty, I don't know who spread the name of my daughter as a lucky star, and it's so outrageous. If I weren't always sick, I'd probably believe it myself."

Qing Ning curled her lips helplessly, then turned to Wen Baolin and said, "Mrs. Baolin, we believe in gods and Buddhas, ghosts and immortals, but we can't believe rumors!"

"And this uncle, if you really want to pray for the child's well-being, you should go to a Taoist temple. The Bodhisattvas enshrined there are all incredibly powerful and worshipped by thousands of people. I, a poor commoner, am only able to survive and have clothes to wear thanks to the blessings of the saints and emperors. How can I be blessed?"

"If there is truly a person with great fortune in this world, it must be His Majesty the Saint. Madam Baolin and uncle, you must not pray to the wrong person or worship the wrong god."

After he finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the hall.

"Mother, this child is not only smart, but also very courageous."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Guo family whispered to her mother-in-law, and Mrs. Guo nodded in agreement, patting her hand to indicate that she should just keep silent and watch.

Wen Baolin never thought that a six-year-old child could be so smart and speak so precisely, which made her afraid to respond for a moment.

Minister Li was even more terrified. He didn't know how to speak. He couldn't say that Qing Ning's blessings were higher than those of the emperor!

The Wen Xiang faction was caught off guard. They never thought that their prestige would be suppressed by a little girl.

"What a clever little girl! Calling you a lucky star is just flattery, but you're showing off."

The eldest princess who was attacked by the emperor suddenly became angry. She looked at Qing Ning with displeasure and the coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze people.

Qing Ning was not afraid. She went up to the eldest princess and bowed slightly to show her respect.

"That's what the Princess said."

The princess was about to get angry, but when she saw that she had done nothing wrong, it would be disrespectful for a child to make a fuss.

Just turn your head away and pretend that nothing happened.

The young prince beside him looked at Qing Ning and gave her an apologetic smile. Then he said to the eldest princess, "Mother, I feel a little unwell. I need to rest in the side hall first."

When the princess heard that he was not feeling well, she had no mood to care about this and immediately took people to the side hall.

Empress Yu then sent the imperial physician over to follow.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we don't pray to the gods for blessings, it's just that we've gone everywhere. Didn't the abbot of Huangjue Temple say that if we can meet a blessed person, the problem can be resolved. Whether we live together or travel together, if that's not possible, even using this item regularly will do."

A beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes spoke sadly and knelt down to kowtow.

"Your Majesty is the beacon of our Great Xia, blessed with prosperity. But how dare this little kid covet this blessing? That's why I thought of looking for the blessed among the common people, firstly to borrow their blessings, and secondly to use their hardship to suppress this evil spirit."

This beautiful woman was none other than Minister Li’s wife, Qian.

What she said was really beautiful. If she didn't agree, it would be the emperor's fault.

"If that's the case, then it's easy. Qingning, come here." Queen Yu waved with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you are blessed with great fortune, and this blessing is naturally extraordinary. Madam Li is worried that Wulang cannot bear it. In this case, let Qing Ning copy a scripture and place it in the purse that Your Majesty often uses, and then bestow it upon you. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

'Pah pah pah...'

The emperor clapped his hands and said, "The queen is right. There are things I often use, and there are also scriptures copied by Qing Ning. I think Li Jia Wulang should be touched by this blessing."

Although Wen Baolin and the others were unwilling, they could only thank him happily. Only Qingning was unhappy. Why did she have to copy scriptures when she could have a good New Year?

It was all their fault. Qing Ning's fateful look remained unchanged, and Wen Baolin and the others were even more confused.

They didn't achieve their plan, so why was she unhappy?

After returning to her seat, Qing Ning no longer had the mood to eat.

"Don't be angry, it's just copying a scripture, it's better to be considered as a conspiracy."

Qingke knows her very well.

"Humph, why do you want me to copy scriptures? It would be better if I had your Majesty's purse."

"Silly Qing Ning, they are after you just to get things out of you. They have His Majesty's purse and he personally puts it in it to give it to you. Who would dare to make trouble with His Majesty's things? They are protecting you." Yu Jinan came over at some point.

Qing Ning looked at him aggrievedly, "I don't want to copy the book. It's so hard to put aside the homework assigned by Mr. Wu. Today is New Year's Eve!"

I felt even more wronged after saying that. How can I ask people to copy books during the holidays? /(tot)/~~
