A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Have you mentioned the matter of establishing the Empress?

Did you also speak of the Celestial Phenomenon?

"Your Majesty, to establish the Empress, in minor terms, this matter is merely your personal affair, not within my jurisdiction to intervene. However, at present, the celestial phenomenon is unusual; this matter pertains to the nation’s fortune, so I must report this matter to you publicly in court!"

The National Master’s words were solemn, and seeing him like this, the courtiers also felt the gravity of the matter, realizing they could not be negligent.

Thus, they all bowed to the Emperor to report.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, since the National Master mentioned that the matter of establishing the Empress concerns the nation’s fortune, then perhaps we should hear what the National Master has to say regarding this matter!"

At this moment, some people were already anxious.

Although the Emperor’s selection of an Empress to enrich the Palace was not a major election, respected officials had suitable candidates from their families.

Thus, upon hearing the National Master’s words, some were anxious, while others were eager to watch the drama unfold, and more desired to stoke the flames, not for anything else but that what they couldn’t obtain, others shouldn’t easily get either.

"Master National, everyone knows that tomorrow is the day of the grand selection. At this moment, you suddenly talk about establishing the Empress concerning the nation’s fortune. What are your intentions?"

Someone pointed directly at the National Master, wanting to stop him from speaking further.

"Honorable Ministers, this National Master is a person of the Daoist Sect, my heart devoid of desire or intention. Just now, this National Master stated that the matter of establishing the Empress, ultimately, is merely the Emperor’s personal affair. According to reason, this National Master should not interfere.

However, I must apologize, for this National Master observed the stars at night. Suddenly, beside the Emperor’s star, a star appeared. This star and the Emperor’s star shine upon each other, and it is said that if another star appears beside the Emperor’s star, then there is someone greatly rebellious appearing, causing chaos in the imperial matters; treacherous ministers with ill intentions are emerging."

Upon hearing the National Master’s words, those present couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

Treachery from ministers and thieves emerging?

Who could it be?

Such words are not to be spoken lightly!

In an instant, everyone was on edge.

Moreover, someone addressed the National Master.

"Master National, you cannot speak recklessly regarding treacherous ministers and thieves!

Wasn’t the Li Family and Minister Lu just eliminated from the Court?

If another treacherous minister affecting the imperial affairs emerges, wouldn’t our Great Han be in jeopardy?"

Song Xiang was truly afraid.

Knowing the matter involving Lu Zezhong and Li Xu last time, the implications were far too widespread.

Even now, he is still burning oil lamps late at night dealing with the aftermath of this matter.

"Song Xiang, do not be anxious, this matter is not finished yet,"

The National Master heard Song Xiang’s words and couldn’t help but smile slightly, promptly stating that there was more to say.

"There is more to say?

Please, Master National, speak all at once."

In the Hall, other ministers also listened with concern and quickly urged.

The National Master then began to relate, from star signs to divination signs, and from divination signs to the Emperor’s visage.

Everyone in the hall found themselves in a cloud of confusion.

Finally, when everyone was rather impatient, he simply said, "Your Majesty, according to the divination, for the Great Han to enjoy a hundred years of favorable weather, the establishment of the Empress must be approached with prudence!"

The National Master’s words indeed made people want to slap him.

"Master National! You’ve said so much, but what is your actual insight on the matter of establishing the Empress?

Why don’t you just say it straightforwardly? We’ve been listening for quite a while without grasping your full meaning!"

A few veteran ministers couldn’t stand it anymore. Usually, in morning court, His Majesty only had them stand for half an hour, having said what needed to be said.

At most it was an hour.

But today, the National Master went on eloquently for an hour and a half, with just him speaking.

And as for them?

They simply couldn’t understand!

The Emperor truly had patience, still listening to him speak.

The National Master was silent.

Alas, off-topic expertise is troublesome.

Explaining becomes cumbersome.

I shall not elaborate further, it’s better to directly state my intention!

Whether they understand or not, as long as the goal is reached!

"Since the Honorable Ministers lack learning and cannot comprehend what this National Master speaks, then this National Master shall state directly!"

As he spoke, the National Master bowed to the Emperor, saying.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after discovering the unusual celestial phenomenon and divining, Your Majesty should establish the Empress."

The courtiers wished to slap the National Master; wasn’t this obvious? A result should be reached tomorrow.

The Emperor gritted his teeth further.

"I understand, tomorrow is the day of the grand selection."
