Splendid Twins

Faced with everyone's hesitation, Si Yao gently lowered her eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She whispered softly, "I'll give you ten seconds. If you still don't want to step through this door, a downpour will follow. Are you really not going to come in and take shelter?"

After she finished speaking, her words echoed in the quiet air. Several ministers looked up at the sky involuntarily, only to see a clear blue sky without even a trace of clouds.

The Grand Historian couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a hint of joking in his tone:

"Miss, you are wrong. How can you say it is going to rain when the sky is so clear?"

It’s hard to say anything else, but it just so happened that he observed the sky last night and found that there would be no rain in the coming days!

At this time, the young minister Gu Dafeng stood up again, his face full of disdain and contempt for Si Yao:

"Humph, words are useless. How can you prove it?" His tone was full of provocation.

Si Yao raised her eyes and met his. When her gaze passed over his brows, she was stunned for a moment, with surprise flashing in her eyes. This man actually had merits!

Then, she slowly raised a meaningful smile:

"Master Gu, you are indeed young and promising, talented, and a pillar of the country..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Dafeng's expression became even more arrogant, with a disdainful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, as if Si Yao's compliment was just an insignificant cloud in his eyes.

"Humph, no matter how eloquent you are, our dynasty has always valued real talent and knowledge, and will never allow incompetent people to fill the position!"

When Si Yao heard this, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and she calmly proposed a bet:

"In that case, why don't you make a bet with me, Master Gu? If what I say is true, you... are willing to obey my orders for a month, how about that?"

After saying this, Gu Dafeng looked up at the boundless blue sky again, sneering in his heart, believing that Si Yao was just talking nonsense.

He responded without hesitation, with a hint of pride and provocation in his voice:

"Okay! If you lose, please voluntarily decline the position of Imperial Master, so as not to harm the destiny of our dynasty!"

"It's a deal!" Si Yao's words were loud and clear. Then she turned around and stepped through the threshold, her clothes fluttering in the wind and her posture calm.

The ministers all looked up at the sky and muttered to themselves that God seemed to be testifying for them. How could there be any sign of rain in this clear and cloudless sky?

Master Ouyang couldn't help but look up, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself that he was clearly tricked by the Regent and had no choice but to come here to create momentum for this girl.

Just as he was about to turn around, a cool breeze suddenly brushed across his nose, making him startled!

Then, the sky seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and raindrops poured down without warning, soaking the ground in an instant.

This scene happened so suddenly that the faces of several court officials present suddenly changed, and their surprise was beyond words! !

The rain came suddenly, falling densely and finely, soaking the ministers' gorgeous official uniforms without any warning. Those clothes were originally symbols of power and majesty, but now they clung tightly to their bodies, feeling heavy, and bringing a bit of chillness and discomfort.

The ministers raised their hands to shield themselves from the rain, but the rain was getting heavier. Raindrops slid down their cheeks and merged with the water droplets on their official uniforms to form a stream, dripping onto the bluestone slabs under their feet, making a crisp sound.

"Please, everyone."

Ouyang Taifu spoke calmly. Whether the sudden rainfall was caused by God or man, it remained to be verified. If this woman was playing tricks, then... she would offend the Regent! !

He took the lead and walked slowly in the rain with steady steps, as if the rain had no effect on him at all.

Seeing this, the other ministers followed suit. Although they had their own thoughts in their minds, they involuntarily quickened their pace.

Gu Dafeng stood at the end. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger and unwillingness! !

But since he had made the bet, there was no room for regret. He closed his eyes, took firm steps, and stepped into Zangfeng Garden.

Just as everyone stepped into the bamboo forest, the sudden heavy rain miraculously stopped! !

At this moment, it seemed as if even the air froze. Such magical power shocked Tai Shi Ling so much that he stopped in his tracks. When his colleagues looked at each other, there was an expression of incredible shock in their eyes!

A gentle breeze, carrying the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, gently brushed across everyone's faces, not only blowing away the water droplets on their robes, but also like an invisible force, soothing the irritability and dissatisfaction in their hearts...

Inside the divination room, Si Yao curled the corners of her mouth. Today's rain was not only a gift from nature, but also a test she had carefully arranged.

People's hearts are complicated, and the officialdom is even more treacherous. Only those who truly care about the people and are honest and upright can stand out in this silent contest...

There were a few faint golden lights dancing in the spirit altar of Lord Gu. They were traces of his past good deeds, which showed that he had a good character and great ambitions. If he was carefully cultivated and promoted, he had the potential to become a good minister in the world!

But what she really had to guard against was the Taifu who was the reincarnation of a great good man for three generations. The golden light on his head was extremely dazzling, so bright that even she had to retreat a little.

Such a person is blessed by heaven, and you can only associate with him. Once you win his recognition and support, he will become your most solid backing. But on the contrary, if you accidentally anger him, the consequences will be disastrous!

As soon as Master Ouyang entered the room, his deep eyes were fixed on Si Yao, trying to make her nervous with the majesty and momentum he had accumulated over the years!

However, Si Yao did not show any fear at all. Instead, she responded with a calm smile, being generous and neither humble nor arrogant.

"My Lords, please wait a moment."

Si Yao stood up and spoke. She raised her hand slightly, signaling everyone to stay calm:

"We were walking in the rain just now, so it's inevitable that your clothes got wet, which is inconvenient. I specially prepared a small gift, hoping to bring a little comfort to you adults."

After she finished speaking, her fingertips moved slightly, as if she was performing a silent ritual. Gradually, a soft light appeared on her fingertips. It was the flow of spiritual energy, pure and mysterious.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the spiritual energy silently passed over everyone present, like the warm sunshine in spring, gentle and powerful.

In an instant, everyone felt a warm current rising from the bottom of their hearts, quickly spreading throughout their bodies, and the discomfort caused by the humidity disappeared instantly.

They looked down in surprise, only to see that the official uniforms, which had been a little heavy due to the rain, had miraculously become dry again without even a wrinkle, as if they had never experienced the sudden rainstorm! !

"hiss!"

!!!

This scene shocked everyone present, and their eyes were full of disbelief!

There was a hint of surprise in Master Ouyang's eyes, but he soon returned to his usual composure.
