"..." Xie Wan Ning was silent for a moment, thought of a random reason, and said: "After reading a few poems he wrote, I became curious about the life experiences of the author of those poems."
"Really?" Ji Chengfeng asked curiously, "I have read quite a few of Brother Duan's poetry collections. Which one does my cousin like best?"
…
"Xie Wan Ning choked and looked up to see if he was deliberately trying to sabotage her, but she saw that his eyes were full of sincerity, as if he really wanted to discuss poetry and books with her.
She said unhappily, "I can't remember it all at once."
Compared to Duan Cheng, she actually remembered a few of his poems.
After all, after this man died in his previous life, the emperor loved his talent so much that he burst into tears in the hall. The whole capital was shocked. His posthumous works were once widely praised, and she followed the trend and bought a few copies to read.
Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning also began to admire his talent and was really reluctant to see this man die.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she looked up and said, "My cousin has told me so much. It would be rude if I don't return the favor. I'll help you too."
Hearing this, Ji Chengfeng was stunned and asked, "Help me with what?"
"I can read faces!" Xie Wan Ning said nonsense in a serious tone, "I've read several books on how to read palms, and I've read palms for several people. They're very accurate. Do you want me to take a look?"
Her eyes looked straight at his left hand.
Ji Chengfeng was really stunned by this kind of "help". After hesitating for several breaths, he actually stretched out his hand from his long sleeves.
His hands were very white, with long fingers, distinct joints, and neatly trimmed nails. There was a small protrusion on the wrist bone that was covered by the sleeve.
…These are the beautiful articles written by these hands.
Xie Wan Ning thought to herself, but said, "Turn over. Palmistry depends on the lines on your palm."
Ji Chengfeng glanced at her and turned his hand as he was told.
Xie Wan Ning didn't know how to read palms, but she still pretended to look at it for a while, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Soon, his expression became difficult again.
It looks quite similar.
Ji Chengfeng moved his lips, "Can you see anything?"
“Ahem…” Xie Wan Ning coughed twice and raised her chin modestly: “Of course I can see it. Take your hand back.”
Ji Chengfeng withdrew his hand, chuckled, and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"..." Xie Wan Ning felt a little guilty because of his laughter. She always felt like she was watching a charlatan performing acrobatics.
A young man like this, who is involved in officialdom, probably has more than eight hundred schemes on his mind, so how could he believe that she knows anything about palmistry?
But she didn't intend to lie to him, everything she said was true!
Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning's heart instantly felt relieved.
"I think you have good luck in official career and a bright future. It won't be long before..." She paused and said, "probably in the early spring of next year, the emperor will give you an important task and you will leave Beijing and go to the south. With your ability, it will not be difficult for you to complete the task and get promoted."
Ji Chengfeng listened quietly, a faint smile brewing in his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the girl in front of him change the subject and said, "However, your trip is not going well. Disaster is imminent, and you may even lose your life."
"Oh?" Ji Chengfeng's eyebrows jumped, obviously he didn't expect her to say that. He paused for a moment before saying, "Cousin, do you have any solution?"
Xie Wan Ning choked again, but he was very cooperative with her words, as if he believed them 100%.
But now that the conversation had come to this, she was too lazy to think about whether he was teasing her for fun, and said directly: "You must be careful about the followers around you betraying their master. The closer they are, the more careful you must be."
Ji Chengfeng's eyes narrowed.
"Also," Xie Wan Ning continued, "it's best to stay away from the water. Even if you have to take a detour and walk for an extra day or two, you should stay away from it."
In his previous life, he contracted an illness in Shangyang Lake and died in Shangganling due to an epidemic.
But what Lu Ziyan found out was that his entourage leaked the information of his whereabouts.
It so happened that an epidemic broke out near Shangyang Lake, and someone behind the scenes deliberately drove the victims of the epidemic in that direction.
He died from a series of coincidences.
If Your Majesty had not investigated the matter thoroughly, the death of this brilliant and talented top scholar would have been concluded as a short life with little fortune and a talent that was envied by heaven.
Thinking of this, Xie Wan Ning raised her eyes and looked at him, saying seriously: "Don't disbelieve me, I really calculated it very accurately."
Ji Chengfeng also lowered his eyes to look at her, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.
He originally thought that the girl was just bored and was teasing him.
But her words were too serious.
It's so serious that it doesn't seem like fabrication.
After a long while, he nodded gently and said, "I understand."
Xie Wan Ning was still a little worried and gave a few more earnest instructions.
It was not until he caught a glimpse of a tall figure out of the corner of his eye that he suddenly stopped talking and turned his head sharply.
Pei Yuqing had come out at some point and was standing under the eaves of Liushui Pavilion, looking at this side quietly with an unclear expression on his face.
Xie Wan Ning's eyes slowly widened, and without saying anything, she quickly walked towards him.
Ji Chengfeng beside her paused, then followed.
Usually, whenever she walked towards him, this man would come to meet her before she got in front of him, but at this moment, he stood there, motionless.
No matter how slow Xie Wan Ning was, she could sense that something was wrong. She blinked and smiled, "Why did you come out too?"
also……
Pei Yuqing savored the word carefully, then suddenly grasped her shoulders and brought her into his arms.
"Are you cold?" He said in a steady voice, "Why didn't you call me when you came out?"
He hugged her suddenly, and Xie Wan Ning was glad that she reacted quickly enough and did not crush the plum blossom in her hand.
