178 The Destiny of Bringing Prosperity to Her Husband and Country

“I asked the imperor preceptor yesterday, and he said it’s a good thing.” The emperor already knew about such a big matter.

“These days, there have been animals giving gifts outside the city every day. Rainbows have been hanging on the horizon every day and night. Magpies have also been circling above Jing City. I’m afraid there’s a huge happy event. I wonder what major events have happened in the capital recently? ” The ministers all racked their brains, wanting to know why such a situation had occurred.

The emperor looked at the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch stood out with a small booklet. “17th of December, a boy was born in the eldest princess’s palace. On the 22nd of December, The young prince disappeared. On the 23rd of December, there’s still an unfinished wedding. On the 6th of January, the Pure Consort, Zhao Panpan, entered the palace. On the 8th of January, General Zhao Ruifeng is getting married.” The eunuch read a long list of the good things that had happened in Jing City in the past month or were about to happen.

After the eunuch finished reading, the officials’ expressions turned ugly. The emperor’s actions were undoubtedly a warning to them that the emperor knew everything! The ministers were all trembling with fear.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“This lowly subject has a few conjectures. The Bazi Chart that Miss Zhao Panpan sent to Yin Yang Tower was one in a million good fortune. It even showed signs of her bringing prosperity to her husband and country.” However, before the official could finish his sentence, everyone else’s brows slowly furrowed. They all knew about Zhao Panpan’s situation. She was on good terms with the empress and was recognized by the empress to be her daughter-in-law. However, she had suddenly become the emperor’s Pure Consort. This behavior was disdainful. The Bazi Chart that Zhao Panpan had sent to Yin Yang Tower was exactly the same as the crown prince. Both of them had the fate of bringing fortune to their country.

The emperor nodded. He understood Zhao Panpan’s fate. Although he liked her a little, it was not enough for her to become the Pure Consort. If it were not for the fact that Yin Yang Tower had told the emperor about her fate, the emperor would at most have given her the title of ‘Lady of Bright Deportment’. Hence, Zhao Panpan was only able to become a consort because of her Bazi Chart.

“Congratulations to Your Majesty for being blessed. May our country be blessed with eternal prosperity.” The ministers were the best at reading people’s expressions. From the emperor’s expression, they knew that all these strange things were happening because Zhao Panpan was about to enter the palace as a consort. Although they did not think Zhao Panpan had the ability, they did not say anything at this juncture.

The emperor was even happier when he heard the ministers’ compliments. “Send some rewards to the Zhao family.” With a wave of the emperor’s hand, large amounts of gold and silver were sent into the Zhao residence. For a moment, Zhao Panpan’s fame was unparalleled.

The new year was coming, and the ministers just had to report to the court every day. After the court session, Zhao Ruifeng left with the ministers, but suddenly he saw a palace maid with red eyes and lowered head walking over. The eunuch seemed to want to stop her, but seeing the palace maid holding the empress’ token, he could only let her go.

Zhao Ruifeng silently took a step back, feeling that something bad was about to happen. He did not want to have anything to do with the empress at the moment. The two women that the empress had given him were still in the Zhao residence. If the empress had not been grounded by the emperor, he would have sent them back a long time ago. However, he could not send them back now. He could only wait until Jiang Xi married into the family to deal with them. He also hoped that his wife would not be unhappy about this and be dissatisfied with him.

“Your Majesty, you can’t marry Zhao Panpan! Marrying Zhao Panpan would not be tolerated! The nation would perish! The heavens will definitely send down a punishment to Your Majesty! The country will be punished!” The palace maid shouted in a hoarse voice. Then, before the guards came over, she closed her eyes and ran straight into the pillar at the entrance of the palace. The wall outside the palace was covered in blood.

The emperor’s face was ashen and dark. The ministers kneeled in front of him, not daring to raise their heads.

“Zhao Panpan is a blessed child from the heavens. Yin Yang Tower and the imperial preceptor divined for her that year and said that she would bring prosperity to the country and her husband! Your Majesty, don’t believe this lowly person’s lies. How could this palace maid understand the country’s affairs? Marrying Zhao Panpan is not just Your Majesty’s business.” Lord Xiao stood out, the meaning of his words was just short of directly pointing out that the empress was jealous and unreasonable.

“Your Majesty has a small number of children. In this selection, the imperial family will definitely bring a son to Your Majesty.” Lord Xiao continued, and only then did the emperor’s expression improve.
