Chapter 386 Li Xuanji Reads Fortune Telling
"Master, it's getting dark. Will there be any results today...?"
The inn in Tamsui, Taiwan, had a terrace. Li Xuanji's youngest apprentice, He Zhixin, carefully climbed up and approached his master, asking somewhat anxiously.
"Xiao Xin, use your heart to feel the changes in the stars, don't always ask me!" Li Xuanji closed his eyes and gently tapped his little disciple.
"Master, I...I can't sense it. Maybe that powerful elven warrior misled us. It's said that the elves have a very profound understanding of celestial phenomena." He Zhixin was only eighteen years old, a competitive age. He blushed after being scolded by his master and could only make up an excuse.
"Alas! Your mind is in turmoil. Sit down beside me and wait patiently." Li Xuanji did not continue to scold his disciple, but kindly asked him to sit down. The two of them silently looked at the vast starry sky.
In the darkness of night, countless stars are scattered across the dark sky, twinkling and changing mysteriously.
Suddenly, the brightness of a few stars shifted slightly, and Li Xuanji abruptly stood up, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
With a whoosh, the sound of tables and chairs being overturned filled the hall. The officials from the Imperial Observatory, the palace eunuchs, and the court officials, who had been waiting anxiously, poured out of the post station and followed Li Xuanji toward the Prince Heng's residence.
"It's born! It's a boy!"
Cheers erupted in the cherry blossom-colored pavilion of the Hengwang Mansion, a chaotic mix of Daxia and Fusang languages, filled with the joy of relief.
Upon hearing the commotion inside, the two maids who were guarding the courtyard from a distance immediately took off running, making their way through a maze of paths to the nearby Xiyue Xiaozhu, heading straight for Lin Ruoxi's boudoir.
"Miss, Miss, Lady Kai has given birth! It's a baby boy!" the maidservant cried anxiously as she entered the room.
Lin Ruoxi was working hard, sweating profusely! Hearing this, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, "Ugh! I'm behind her again, it's so infuriating!"
Strangely enough, Lin Ruoxi had just exhausted all her strength but couldn't do it, but now that she was venting her anger, she felt much better.
The baby's cry of "waa" immediately kept the maids and midwives busy at Xiyue Xiaozhu.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations on the arrival of a little prince!" The midwife happily congratulated Lin Ruoxi.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's a young master. The title of 'Little Prince' isn't something you can just call anyone! Bring him over here so I can see him!" Lin Ruoxi was both happy and annoyed. She was happy because she had finally given birth to a son, but annoyed because her son was just one step away from being the eldest son.
Both women realized they were pregnant at the same time, and their due dates were very close, but in the end, Kaihime gave birth to Qin Mo's eldest son first.
However, neither of their sons can be called princes, because only the princess's son is the heir to the throne. Both of them are concubines, and unless they are later promoted to the position of principal wife or the principal wife has no children, they have no chance.
Allen sat on the empty terrace of the Twin Towers, a slight smile playing on his lips.
After Qin Mo left, he often came here alone to sit idly, contemplating the starry sky above while intimidating those petty outsiders.
"snort!"
A group of scoundrels, taking advantage of the moonlight, headed straight for the royal palace, drawing a cold snort from the great elf.
The twin towers of the Prince Heng Mansion in Da Yuan are the tallest buildings in Tamsui. Even now that the nouveau riche in Da Yuan are all wealthy, they dare not let their houses be taller than the twin towers.
One year ago, on a certain night, countless stars lit up the Twin Towers. Based on the new star movement model given by Qin Mo, Allen constructed his cultivation direction and system, which amazed countless people with Allen's power.
Tonight, the starlight has transformed into a galaxy, with bright stars slowly rotating around the Twin Towers. A vast amount of starlight gradually spills out and spreads, enveloping the entire Prince Heng's Mansion and keeping outsiders out.
"Lord Li, this... isn't that Allen a Saint-level expert yet? How can he have such abilities?" The palace eunuch Mei Gaowan stopped in his tracks upon seeing the starry sky and asked Li Xuanji.
“He… he’s probably already halfway to the Saint level, and the other half is just a matter of time!” Li Xuanji studies the Dao of metaphysics. Although his combat power is slightly inferior, his perception of the Dao of Heaven is much more acute than others. He can tell from the starlight that Allen is probably already standing on the threshold of the Saint level.
"What should we do? We only have two territory boundaries, so we can't use force! Lord Li, you must think of a solution!"
Li Xuanji hated Mei Gaowan to the core. Relying on his position as someone close to Emperor Zhaowu, Mei Gaowan brought a group of officials and arrogantly tried to take away the emperor's two concubines, making the relationship extremely tense.
If the relationship between the two sides hadn't reached such an extreme point, how could he not even be allowed into the Prince's mansion? Now, he has to beg for favors just to read someone's fortune. "When have I, Li Xuanji, ever needed to beg for favors to read someone's fortune? It's always others who beg me, okay?"
Now look what's going on, and you're asking me what to do? Am I here to take the blame for you?
“Eunuch Mei, the one who tied the knot must untie it. You arrived earlier than me, so I hope you can explain to the people of the Prince Heng’s residence that we are just going in to check on the safety of the two concubines and the child. If they are all safe, we will turn around and leave.”
"Lord Li, you jest. I am but a cripple, how could I possibly have such influence? You have come with an imperial decree, so it is natural for you, Lord Li, to go and negotiate."
Mei Gaowan was furious upon hearing Li Xuanji's words. As a close attendant of Emperor Zhaowu, he could not tolerate being slighted by an outsider, and immediately retorted in a sarcastic tone.
“A eunuch who messed things up still puts on airs. I’m offering you a way out, but you won’t take it. Just wait!” Li Xuanji chuckled twice at Mei Gaowan, making the latter’s scalp tingle. Then he turned around and strode towards the gate of the Prince Heng’s mansion.
