Moreover, during this period of seclusion, he also made major breakthroughs in the study of palmistry.

Now that I see Xiao Jinyan, of course I want to give it a try.

He was still curious about Xiao Jinyan's marriage.

No, he had always been curious but never had the chance.

This was the third time that Xiao Jinyan heard Lu Zhaoyan want to tell his marriage destiny. He was puzzled. How could a dignified director of the Imperial Observatory be obsessed with telling his marriage destiny?

"Aren't you calculating fortunes? How come you also include marriage?"

"Your Highness, fortune calculation does not include marriage. However, marriage is also somewhat related to fortune. When I was learning from a master in Qilong Mountain, I happened to be interested in it, so I took the time to learn it." Lu Zhaoyan said.

"..." Xiao Jinyan: "I'm not interested."

Lu Zhaoyan said without giving up: "Your Highness, my calculation is quite accurate. Are you sure you don't want to calculate it?"

At this moment, Lu Zhaoyan looked like a street fortune teller, waiting to open his business.

Seeing Lu Zhaoyan trying so hard to promote his ability to predict marriages, Xiao Jinyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if it's not accurate?"

"Your Highness, there is nothing in this world that is 100% accurate, but I can confirm that the accuracy rate is above 90%." Lu Zhaoyan said the last sentence with great certainty.

Xiao Jinyan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Lu Zhaoyan. Seeing how confident he was, she said, "Then you can take a look for me."

Finally, he could read His Highness' palm. Lu Zhaoyan was a little excited. "I will read His Highness' palm right now."

Lu Zhaoyan took a few steps forward and came in front of Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan hesitated for a few seconds, then stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up.

Lu Zhaoyan held up the beautiful hand in front of him, clean and spotless.

Xiao Jinyan was born into a royal family and had a dragon vein on the palm of his hand. Before the crown prince was appointed, this dragon vein was not obvious.

Now the dragon vein has appeared. If it becomes more obvious, the chances of ascending the throne to emperor will be greater.

The marriage line is right next to the dragon vein, and it is more obvious and longer than the dragon vein.

"Your Highness, judging from your palm, your beloved has already appeared."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "Who is it?"

"Your Highness's beloved is a wealthy and powerful man, with the destiny of the King of Phoenix, and is a perfect match for Your Highness. Your Highness has known this man for a long time..." Lu Zhaoyan paused here and stared at the marriage line again.

Xiao Jinyan asked: "You mean to say that my beloved is the future queen?"

Lu Zhaoyan nodded, "Judging from her palm, she is indeed the future queen."

Xiao Jinyan snorted, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Since she is my beloved, I naturally have the ability to make her the queen. Is this even necessary?"

Lu Zhaoyan kindly reminded: "Your Highness, you can refer to the case of the emperor's selection of concubines."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned when he heard this. His father would hold a beauty contest every three years, and the contestants were almost always the legitimate or illegitimate daughters of court ministers, and even their ranks were given according to the ministers.

In addition to the concubines, there were also princesses contributed by other countries, princesses who were married off as foreign princesses, and so on.

Even the reason why my mother was made queen was because of the powerful influence of her maternal family.

Three generations of the Shen family were important officials of the dynasty, and my grandfather and uncle were the commander-in-chief of the army of the dynasty.

Xiao Jinyan has been fighting for the imperial power because power explains everything.

Now it seems that even if he wins the fight, many things cannot go as he wishes.

As the saying goes, it's lonely at the top. The higher you stand, the more you have to worry about.

Among the women in the Eastern Palace, the only one whom I have known for a long time is Chang Liangdi.

Chang Liangdi was the queen mother's niece and his cousin. She often went to the palace to accompany her since she was a child.

"You said that I have known her for a long time? On this point, your calculation is wrong. Although I have known Chang Liangdi for a long time, I don't have any feelings for her."

"Your Highness, I think it might not be Chang Liangdi, but someone else."

Xiao Jinyan said, "There are only a handful of women I've known for a long time who are suitable for marriage. Who do you think it will be?"

Lu Zhaoyan said: "I can only see that your Highness's beloved is someone you knew when you were young. As for whether she is Concubine Chang, only I can tell by looking at her palm whether she has the fate of a queen."

Xiao Jinyan knew that his soulmate would definitely not be Chang Liangdi. He was already disgusted with her, so how could he possibly have feelings for her?

Xiao Jinyan didn't take the fortune-telling matter seriously.

Lu Zhaoyan felt that he still needed to work hard, otherwise, with just these, he didn’t know who Xiao Jinyan’s soulmate would be.

* Since more people came to Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei seldom came to visit the vegetable garden.

The weather is nice today, so Shen Chuwei went to visit the vegetable garden. If the vegetables were almost finished, she asked Guixiang to plant them quickly. If the vegetables were old, she asked Xiao Guizi to pull them out quickly and feed them to the chickens so that they would not take up space.

After giving the instructions, Shen Chuwei thought of the huge vegetable garden in the White Horse Temple, and then looked at her own small vegetable garden, and found it was too small.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Xiyun Pavilion is such a small place, it is impossible to expand it.

unless……

Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at the wall opposite, which was about ten meters away from him. Next to the wall was the Xiaoxiang Pavilion which had been abandoned for a long time.

She shouted to the little rabbit not far away, "Go get the ladder."

The little rabbit moved quickly and soon brought a ladder. Under Shen Chuwei's command, it leaned it against the wall.

Shen Chuwei was about to go up while lifting up her skirt, but was stopped in time by the little rabbit.

"My lord, tell me what you want to do, and I will do it."

"I'm just going to take a look and will be down soon." Shen Chuwei said and continued climbing.

The little rabbit was so scared that he held on to the ladder tightly, "My dear, please be careful."

"It's okay, don't worry." Shen Chuwei climbed up the wall nimbly. What he saw was a desolate scene with weeds growing all over the ground. Although they were withered, they were still as tall as a person.

She sighed, "What a pity."

"My lady, what a pity?" The little rabbit raised his head and stared at Shen Chuwei nervously, fearing that she would fall.

Shen Chuwei said: "It's a pity to waste such a large piece of land. We can grow a lot of vegetables here."

When spring comes and flowers bloom, it will be the best time to grow vegetables. She has a lot of vegetable seeds and also wants to plant more peppers to make chili sauce.

I also want to grow corn.

When she thought of corn, she thought of popcorn, and she was craving for it.

Upon hearing this, the little rabbit shouted, "My dear, don't worry about this for now, come down quickly."

"I'm coming down." Shen Chuwei said, but his eyes were still fixed on the wasteland. The wasteland is most suitable for growing vegetables after reclamation, and the soil is very fertile.

If she asked Xiao Jinyan for this piece of land, would he give it to her? When Xiao Jinyan came over, he saw Shen Chuwei lying on the wall, and his eyes changed. "Shen Liangdi, come down quickly."

As he said this, he strode towards her.

Shen Chuwei turned around and saw Xiao Jinyan coming. She was startled. Why was Xiao Jinyan here?

She hurried down the ladder.

Unfortunately, the hem of her skirt was too long, and she was so focused on looking at the ground that she forgot to lift the hem of her skirt, causing her to step on it, lose her balance, and fall off the ladder.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes tightened, and he used his Qinggong skills to quickly run over and stretched out his arms to catch the person.
