Lu Zhaoyan relied on his master's young age to become the director of the Imperial Observatory, mainly observing the stars at night and calculating fortunes.
If the master hadn't retired early, it wouldn't have been his turn as a youngster.
Fortune-telling was just a part-time job, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a serious profession.
During this time, Lu Zhaoyan returned to the mountain to accompany his master, and after receiving the imperial edict, he rushed to the capital without stopping.
It took me five days to finally get back to the capital, and I went to the imperial study first.
Lu Zhaoyan stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, why did you urgently summon me back? What is the matter?"
The emperor frowned and said, "The prince fell off a cliff in Mobei and disappeared. I asked you to tell the prince's fortune and see how he is doing now."
"I obey your order, but." Lu Zhaoyan paused for a while before saying, "I am not proficient in fortune-telling, so I need some time."
He had only been exposed to fortune-telling for a short time, unlike observing the stars which he had practiced since childhood. He did not dare to make any boasts in front of the emperor.
Although the emperor was worried about the prince's safety, he was not an unreasonable person. He nodded and agreed, "Don't make me wait too long."
Lu Zhaoyan lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes: "I will calculate the result as soon as possible."
The emperor waved his hand and Lu Zhaoyan left the imperial study.
After leaving the palace for several months, Lu Zhaoyan did not expect that anything would happen to the prince. Although he had calculated earlier that the prince was in danger of death, he thought it had been resolved.
When he returned to his residence, he took out his books and began to calculate the prince's situation.
Although Tao Liangyuan hasn't been coming often recently, she always brings something every time she comes.
This time she carried the cooked corn and followed Shen Chuwei to the study.
The corn seeds Shen Chuwei gave her were only planted on one acre of land every year. Scarcity makes things valuable, so the price will be higher and only rich people can afford it.
Because corn is too scarce, wealthy people would use it to entertain guests. On the one hand, it can show their appreciation for the guests, and on the other hand, it can demonstrate their own strength.
Who would have thought that a bag of corn seeds would make the Tao family rich.
Tao Liangyuan gave five thousand taels of gold to Shen Chuwei as dividends.
Shen Chuwei had never seen so much gold in her life. Five thousand taels of gold was not silver.
However, Shen Chuwei still refused because she had said at the beginning that she would not accept dividends.
After Tao Liangyuan's repeated persuasion, Shen Chuwei accepted the gold. Looking at the five thousand taels of gold and silver notes, she felt confident.
The corn in Xiyun Pavilion was also ripe. Shen Chuwei gave some to the Queen and Xiao Jinyu to taste the first batch of corn.
"Tao Liangyuan, why did you send corn to Song Qing?" The reason why I asked this is because Chunxi cooked corn today and Song Qing also ate it...
Tao Liangyuan explained with a smile: "Yumai, Yu and Yu (Meet) have the same pronunciation, which has a meaning."
Shen Chuwei discovered that Tao Liangyuan was really interested in Song Qing. "It's just corn. No matter how smart Song Qing is, he can't guess the meaning, right?"
Tao Liangyuan said indifferently: "Then I will remind him."
Shen Chuwei nodded, looking forward to how Tao Liangyuan would remind Song Qing.
When they entered the study, Tao Liangyuan came to Song Qing with corn. The corn was wrapped in oil paper and was still warm.
"I brought two corns to see you." Tao Liangyuan said in one breath, and her face turned red after she finished speaking, because she said it too obviously, but she didn't care, she even wrote a love letter, so she was not afraid! Song Qing looked at Tao Liangyuan in confusion when he heard it.
Seeing that he was staring at her without saying anything, Tao Liangyuan placed the two corns in her hand on the desk in front of him and said, "I hope you like them."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Shen Chuwei had been observing Tao Liangyuan and Song Qing. She saw Tao Liangyuan put down the corn and left. Then she saw Song Qing looking at Tao Liangyuan with a confused look on his face.
When Tao Liangyuan came over, Shen Shenchu asked curiously, "Why don't you say a few more words?"
Tao Liangyuan turned around and secretly glanced at Song Qing, only to see him staring at the corn. "He's so smart, he should be able to understand."
Shen Chuwei: "...but some nerds put all their intelligence into studying."
Uh!!! "Not really?" Tao Liangyuan looked back at Song Qing and found that Song Qing was holding a pen and writing.
Shen Chuwei said: "It's hard to say."
After Song Qing finished writing, he put down the red brush, looked at the line of words on the rice paper, and repeated in his heart, "I brought two corns to see you, I hope you like them."
* When Xiao Jinyu returned to Qiancheng Hall, he happened to meet a little rabbit delivering corn. He had eaten corn before and it tasted sweet and good.
He took the corn and walked into Hanyuxuan. As soon as he came in, he saw his wife watering the flowers with a kettle.
Miss Han had been sleepy these days, and only in the past two days had she gotten better, so she came out to water the flowers.
Xiao Jinyu strode over, put his arms around his wife's slender waist, raised a few corns in his hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law sent me some corns, they are still hot, try them."
Miss Han looked at the corn in Xiao Jinyu's hand. It was steaming and the fragrance was immediately overwhelming.
Xiao Jinyu took the kettle from her hand and placed it on the table beside her, then walked in with his wife.
After entering, Xiao Jinyu took his wife to sit on the couch, opened the oil paper package, took out a corn and handed it to his wife, "Eat it while it's hot, it's especially delicious."
"Hmm." Miss Han took the corn, put it to her lips and took a bite. The corn was tender, juicy, sweet and tasted very good.
Xiao Jinyu took out one and took a bite, not forgetting to report his afternoon schedule to his wife.
"I'm going to leave the palace soon. Song Tanhua is going on a blind date, and I have to go and ruin it. Do you want to go out with me to relax?"
Miss Han was eating corn and was not interested in ruining other people's marriages.
"No, go by yourself."
Xiao Jinyu felt sorry for his wife who was staying in the deep palace and was depressed...
"I noticed that you are getting lazier and lazier now. You don't even want to go out. Is it because you have been in the palace for too long?"
Miss Han paused while biting the corn, raised her head and looked at the man beside her. She saw that his eyes were full of worry. She smiled faintly: "I just like quietness. Besides, I don't mind staying longer with you in the palace."

Xiao Jinyu was so moved when she heard this, "Ayan, you are so kind."
Miss Han chuckled: "Eat corn."
When Xiao Jinyu saw his wife smile, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, because his wife seldom smiled.
"Well, my sister-in-law said that corn is a coarse grain and eating more of it is good for you."
After eating the corn, Xiao Jinyu lay on his wife for a long time, and then reluctantly left the palace.
On the bustling streets of the capital, only high-ranking officials and dignitaries come in and out of Wuziju. It is said that the boss behind the scenes is someone from the palace, and ordinary people can hardly get in.
Song Qing didn't like this kind of blind date, but he was a colleague and had been rejected once, so it was difficult to refuse again, so he came.
Song Qing walked into the agreed private room and found that there were only three people inside, the prime minister and two young women.
Song Qing stepped forward and saluted, "This humble official greets the Prime Minister."
The prime minister said with a smile: "Mr. Song, there is no need to be polite. Sit down and talk."
Song Qing nodded and sat down at the square table.
The prime minister happily introduced his two daughters, "Song Tanhua, these two are my two daughters. The eldest daughter, Xinyue, is sixteen years old, and this is the second daughter, Xinlian, who is fifteen years old."
Song Qing smiled and nodded, taking it as an acquaintance.
At the same time, in the private room next door, there was also a person who came for a blind date.
Xu Qingqing was holding the teacup and drinking tea boredly. This was her eighteenth blind date at home, and she was almost depressed by the pressure to get married.
She doesn't need food at home, so why force her to get married?
The man sitting opposite was the newly crowned number one scholar, about 23 years old. He was not as tall as Jun Wuxian, but stronger than Jun Wuxian, and his appearance was even worse.
If I marry him, the appearance genes of the next generation will be greatly reduced. What's the point of being the top scholar?
The man sitting next to Xu Qingqing is her younger brother Xu Changfeng. Xu Changfeng always accompanies her on blind dates. He is tall, handsome and heroic.
Xu Qingqing drank three cups of tea in a row, and Xu Changfeng kicked her calf, signaling her to express her opinion.
"Top scholar, you are very outstanding, but I have a tendency to violence. We are not suitable for each other. You will meet a gentle woman." Xu Qingqing said with an awkward but polite smile.
The top scholar was originally very satisfied with Xu Qingqing. Both her appearance and family background were very suitable for him. He was the top scholar, so it could be said that they were a perfect match.
The result was rejected...
Xu Changfeng looked at the top scholar. Not only did his sister look down on him, but he also looked down on him. At least he was taller than him, right? He was not handsome, but at least more handsome, right?
But it didn't get on me.
After her sister expressed her opinion, she didn't stay long and pulled her out of the box.
Xu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, finally she could go home.
Xu Changfeng pulled his sister and pointed to the private room next door, with a sly smile on his face: "Sister, do you know who is having a blind date next door?"
Xu Qingqing subconsciously thought that they were in the same boat, "Who is it? Is it because you are too old to get married?"
"Why do you care whether they are easy to marry or not? The point is, the one among them is the new third place winner. Let's go and join in the fun. Maybe we will be noticed by the third place winner."
Good night spicy!
