Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

"Fortune telling?"

Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback, then realized that weather forecasts, which are commonplace in modern times, were even shrouded in mystery in ancient times.

A slight smile played on his lips as he thought of teasing Zhu Jingjing. "Of course I can tell fortunes. How about I tell your marriage prospects?"

Zhu Jing remained silent, a hint of melancholy appearing on her slightly flushed face.

As a princess, the so-called marriage was probably a political one, and she had seen too many examples like Princess Wencheng in history books.

"What's wrong? You don't want to talk about this? Then let's..." Jiang Chuan keenly noticed that her expression was off and was about to change the subject.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Jingjing gently shook her head. "In that case, why don't you do a fortune telling for me? Do you need me to tell you my birth date and time?"

Although she and Jiang Chuan had only just met, she could feel his care for her and didn't want to spoil his mood.

"I'm not a charlatan, why would I need birth dates and times to predict a marriage?" Jiang Chuan pretended to count on his fingers, and after a while said, "It's done! Your soulmate is far away, but right before your eyes!"

Zhu Jingjing was taken aback by his serious demeanor. She looked around and asked, "Where is it? I can't see it."

Jiang Chuan grinned, pointed at himself with his finger, and said, "It's me!"

"A toad lusting after a swan! If you want to be the emperor's son-in-law, you'll have to see if my father agrees!" Zhu Jingjing's already flushed cheeks turned even redder. From the perspective of a Ming princess, his words and actions were frivolous and rude, but she felt no aversion whatsoever.

Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "Who cares about being a prince consort? I'm living a good life now, and I'm not going to go back with you to suffer."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingjing pouted. As a princess of the Ming Dynasty, she was disliked by Jiang Chuan, which made her feel unhappy.

"I'm just kidding. How could I possibly know anything about divination? Besides, in this day and age, all that seeking divine guidance is considered feudal superstition."

If this continues, the little princess will really get angry, so Jiang Chuan quickly explained, "Nowadays we have weather forecasts, so not only can we accurately predict rain, but we can also accurately predict changes in temperature and humidity."

"Weather forecast?" Faced with unfamiliar terminology, Zhu Jingjing looked suspicious. "Who makes these predictions? Is it some great sorcerer who can communicate with ghosts and spirits?"

"What nonsense! Didn't I already say that ghosts and gods are just feudal superstition?"

Jiang Chuan patiently explained, "The so-called forecast is a very complex system. The meteorological department collects data through equipment such as weather radar and ground observation stations, then inputs this data into a supercomputer to generate a forecast sketch, and finally, professional weather forecasters revise and release it."

Zhu Jingjing was completely bewildered; the technical terms Jiang Chuan used sounded like gibberish to her.

"Now you understand, right?" Jiang Chuan asked.

Zhu Jingjing spread her hands and said, "It would be strange if I could understand it! How am I supposed to know what radar or computers are!"

Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly. This Ming princess had just transmigrated and had no understanding of many modern devices, so there was no way to explain it to her.

"You just need to know that weather forecasting is a scientific process that combines meteorological observation, numerical simulation, and human experience. As for the rest, I will teach you slowly later."

Zhu Jingjing nodded obediently. Although she was curious, she knew that she couldn't bite off more than she could chew, so she had to give up for the time being.

Three Kingdoms, new fields.

After listening to Jiang Chuan's explanation of the meteorological system, Liu Bei showed great interest and said to Zhuge Liang, "Strategist, this meteorological observation sounds quite similar to your expertise in observing celestial phenomena."

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan, a hint of bitterness lurking beneath his signature smile. "My lord flatters me. My mere skill is worlds apart from the meteorological system that young friend Jiang spoke of; we are simply incomparable."

Zhang Fei, standing to the side, curled his lip and said nonchalantly, "Strategist, listen to that kid's bragging. He thinks he can just make the rain fall whenever he wants? Does he think he's the Dragon King?"

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, comforting Kongming, "Third brother is right. Strategist, don't underestimate yourself. How can human beings easily fathom the workings of heaven and earth!"

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang Palace.

The First Emperor Ying Zheng's expression darkened slightly. He showed little interest in the weather forecast, but was very concerned about Jiang Chuan's comments on divination.

In the Qin Dynasty, divination was highly valued for predicting good or bad fortune.

According to historical developments, Ying Zheng not only conducted divination activities on multiple occasions to deal with unusual celestial phenomena and ominous omens, but the results of these divinations even influenced national policies.

Events such as Mars guarding the heart, the meteorite in Dongjun, and the encounter with a person in Longyin are sufficient to prove his emphasis on divination.

Li Si knelt to the side, not daring to breathe, knowing full well how much of an impact Jiang Chuan's words would have on the First Emperor.

Suddenly, Qin Shi Huang's majestic voice rang out, "Li Si, do you say that gods and ghosts truly do not exist?"

Li Si's heart tightened, and he felt a chill run down his spine. This was undoubtedly a life-or-death question. If he didn't answer it well, he might end up like those alchemists and Confucian scholars who were murdered.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, matters of gods and ghosts are a matter of belief; if you believe, they exist, if you don't, they don't." Li Si cleverly returned the choice to Ying Zheng; whether gods and ghosts existed or not depended solely on his belief.

Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow, his broad hand landing heavily on the armrest of the throne with a dull thud. "Am I asking you, or are you asking me?"

Li Si dared not argue and immediately kowtowed, admitting his guilt.

After a long pause, Ying Zheng flicked his sleeve and said, "Enough, rise now. Allow me to think this over carefully."

Li Si's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and he secretly rejoiced that he had escaped with his life.

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite interested in what Jiang Chuan was saying, but his face was even darker than Ying Zheng's.

He came from a poor background and had no interest in divination, so he didn't care about Jiang Chuan's belittling.

What angered him was that the brat dared to speak so arrogantly, not only claiming to be Jing'er's true love, but also daring to look down on the position of the prince consort that everyone longed for!

"Damn it, I'm furious!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared, pointing at the river in the sky, "How dare he lay a hand on Jing'er! I'll tear him to pieces!"

Seeing this, Empress Ma quickly advised, "Chongba, don't be angry. It was just a joke. You didn't really harm Jing'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and didn't even give Empress Ma any face. "Not even a joke! He's not qualified to be my son-in-law!"

"Zhongba, in my opinion, that lad is quite good." Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma favored Jiang Chuan. "If Jing'er can really bring him back as her consort, then our Ming Dynasty will have gained a great advantage, and perhaps it will even last for two, three, or ten thousand generations!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down again, pondered for a while, and then nodded slightly. Although he did not like Jiang Chuan, he was eager for the knowledge in his mind!
