September is full of flowers

Ning Tao was drinking with others in the middle courtyard, and after a while, he heard exclamations from the inner courtyard one after another. He raised his eyes, raised his glass and looked at the inner courtyard, his thick and dense eyebrows furrowed.As the imperial concubine's direct younger brother, he is not qualified to sit in the inner courtyard, so he can only face the imperial concubine's sister from a distance, feeling really uncomfortable.

But from a distance, the imperial concubine's complexion is still rosy, so the rumor that the imperial concubine is ill should be a rumor.When Ning Tao was looking in that direction in a daze, he felt a gaze from the top of his head. He came back to his senses and saw that the imperial concubine was smiling at him. His heart was relieved. drink up.

Sister, as long as you are safe and sound.

Concubine Ning withdrew her gaze and said to the crowd, "The gate supervisor won the first round. According to the agreement, the second round should be determined by the gate supervisor."

Qing Ning said on behalf of the gate supervisor, "The content of the competition will be determined by Lian Yimen supervisor."

Lian Yi said, "The content of the competition—"

Hong Daoyi felt uneasy, the one who was good at the first round had already lost, if he lost another round, he would have no chance of turning around.For Lian Yi, what he lost might be just his official position; for the gate supervisor, what he lost was face; and for himself, what he lost was his wealth and life.

So in this game, we must not lose again.

Lian Yi's unhurried and clear tone came, and she only heard her say, "I want to have a match to test my fate."

"Looking at the fate? Isn't this a trick used by street warlocks? It's too low-class for even Yimenjian to use this unskilled thing to compete?" Someone in the inner courtyard couldn't help but say.

"Not into the crowd?" Lian Yi quickly turned around, found this person, and said arrogantly, "I am not a charlatan who is abducted by the street. Looking at the fate of people like us is the foundation of our kind of life. If we can find out A person's numerology and hexagram fortune, calculating his good and bad luck, seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck, can help him travel thousands of miles and live a happy life."

Lian Yi looked around sharply, and asked, "Which one of you here doesn't want to know your future and destiny?"

No one dared to answer.

"It's easy to say," Hong Dao said coldly, "if it's a small evil, it's okay to avoid it, but if it's a big evil, it's hard to teach it. Wouldn't it be spying on the secrets and changing your fate without authorization? It's good to calculate accurately, but if the calculation is wrong, it's not harmful. Others harming oneself?" After he finished speaking, he took a special look at the gate supervisor.

Lime's face darkened.

Hong Daoyi took the opportunity to mock the gate supervisor for his miscalculation of Ning Xu's matter, as if he was about to disgrace the gate supervisor.

"Qing Ning—" the gate supervisor said softly, "Lian Yi will take care of him for me later, don't worry."

Qing Ning clasped her hands and said, "I just can't understand..."

"You have such a temper..." the gate supervisor smiled helplessly.

The others also understood the meaning, kept their mouths shut, and rashly confronted him and brought up the matter repeatedly would only embarrass the gate supervisor, and no one wanted to offend Xiangye Ning.

But one person said, "I don't know who is the one who knows that Mr. Ning's family is in trouble, but travels far away to evade responsibility..."

Hong Dao got angry from his heart, turned around and saw the man, but he could only keep his mouth shut, his face turned blue and purple.

Zhu Kui didn't expect Decheng to be so direct, and was about to stop her, but Decheng glanced at her.I only heard Decheng continue, "Since the gate supervisor has asked someone to give a warning, he has already taken the responsibility on him. Only the ignorant people not only don't appreciate her reminder, but take the opportunity to blame her... This makes Ben Gong Reminds me of a story my father told me..."

Decheng raised his eyebrows, with indescribable majesty and dignity, "Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf of Zhongshan..."

Ning Xiang's face changed drastically, his tiger eyes stared at Decheng tightly, the cup in his hand was cracked, and his old wrinkled hands trembled slightly.Although he was furious, he still surrendered to the majesty of the royal family.No matter how angry he is, the other party is still Princess Decheng, no matter how noble he is, he is also a subject of their Zhu family, so he must not offend.

Zhu Kui said helplessly, "Decheng, you—hey..."

Decheng said indifferently, "What I said is the truth, can't I tell the truth?"

On the opposite side, the supervisor of the gate glanced at him vaguely, he didn't blame Qing Ning, only a kind of admiration.

The imperial concubine seemed to have heard enough before she rubbed her brows, stopped the fight below and said, "I won't say much outside the topic, since Lian Yimen wants to compare fate by looking at astrology, then let's try this. I don't know how to compare. Please also ask Lian Yimen to explain the rules."

So Lian Yi said, "The rules of the competition are very simple, that is, randomly select three people present, and calculate their basic numerology, recent disasters, and future."

Hong Dao said, "Then how do you choose these three?"

Lian Yi said indifferently, "Of course it's you, me, and the imperial concubine."

"Okay, then it's up to you." Hong Daoyi thought to himself that although the ability of "Big Dipper Detector" is not good enough, the ability to tell fate is still good, and moreover, all the dignitaries present are dignitaries. Well, as long as one of the selected ones should say something good, he can't, this Lian Yi can be bold enough to speak out the shortcomings of these people.

Lian Yi's eyes flickered as she faced the gate supervisor, then pointed at a person on the stage and said, "Then calculate her fate first."

Seeing Lian Yi's sleeves fluttering, and seeing her pointing in his direction, Shen Man suddenly panicked.The eyes of everyone in the inner courtyard gathered here, making Shen Man feel as if he was going to be burned by these eyes.The hands in the sleeves secretly clenched into fists, Shen Man thought that if he was discovered, he might still be able to fight to the death.

Ning Tao watched from afar outside, and was startled when he saw Lian Yi's movements, hesitation flashed in his eyes, but someone brought good wine nearby, he glanced at the calm gate supervisor, and then returned to his nature, accepting it happily Put Shen Man's crisis aside.

Hong Dao frowned and said, "The No. 1 you want to calculate is the Fourth Miss of the Ning Mansion?"

Everyone was speechless, because Hong Daoyi was an onmyoji in the Ning Mansion, so he naturally knew the fortunes of the people in the mansion like the back of his hand.Lian Yi chose Ning Chun, is it true that she has unique skills and is not afraid of anything, or is she looking for a dead end?

Hong Dao had a bad thought in his heart, what was Lian Yi thinking about, could she have another way to win?From the corner of the eye, he sneaked a glance at Master Ning, but he saw Ning Xiang with a stern face, looking at him coldly.

"Mentor Lian Yi, this is the Fourth Miss in Xiangye's Mansion, and I am the Onmyoji in Ning Mansion, do you want to consider another candidate?" Hong Daoyi took a step back and carefully observed the changes in Lian Yi's face.

Lian Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, this is Miss Fourth, she is sitting behind the imperial concubine, I thought she was someone from the palace."

Some words explained the reason for choosing Ning Chun, but Hong Daoyi was greatly relieved.It turned out that she didn't know Ning Chun's identity, and mistakenly thought she was from the palace, so she was chosen.

"Since I've made the choice, I can't go back on my word. The Fourth Miss will be the Fourth Miss. Anyway, it's the same for everyone." Lian Yiyu said helplessly and regretfully.

Hong Daoyi didn't expect her to be so open-minded, and he was convinced that he had taken a big advantage.So he said happily, "Then the door inspector first or the next?"

Lian Yidao, "Same as the rules of the previous competition, we will write down the answers and let the imperial concubine judge the winner."

"it is good."

So Ning Chun was invited down in a daze, and the eunuch helped move a stool to sit down.There were two long tables in front of them, covered with paper.There is a screen between the two tables to prevent prying eyes.

Lian Yi asked, "I don't know Miss Fourth's birthday?"

Ning Chun was just about to answer, but she heard the noble concubine say, "You can't randomly give birth dates in the boudoir, if you even want to be a supervisor, I will write one for you."

Lian Yi's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he had an idea in his heart, and said with a smile, "Then please enlighten me."

The competition was also limited to one stick of incense, and the imperial concubine came slowly on purpose as if she was delaying time.Lian Yi was not in a hurry, and stayed behind the table to observe Ning Chun's face carefully.

Ning Chun's facial features are regular and soft, and his skin is fair and rosy.A pair of eyes are piercing, and the corners of the eyes are slightly lifted.This woman has a rich appearance, and this kind of wealth is not due to the prime minister's house, but due to the royal family.Her character is straightforward, resolute, and somewhat arrogant.She is a typical character of a domineering lady from a wealthy family.

However, the soft jaw line shows that she actually hides a soft place in her heart. She is still kind in essence, but she is not good at expressing it.

The horoscope written by the imperial concubine was finally delivered to Lian Yi's hands. Lian Yi looked at the shadow on the other side of the screen, and since just now he has been writing like a dragon, he must have been prepared.

Lian Yi just glanced at the horoscope, then wrote down the verdict on the paper, then smiled and said, "Young lady, I can start now."

The imperial concubine was slightly startled, and then asked Hong Daoyi, "Where is Master Hong, can we start?"

Hong Dao said, "Report to the imperial concubine, the grass people are also ready."

So the verdicts of the two people were sent to the stage.

The imperial concubine's slender eyebrows gradually raised, and she asked, "Lian Yimen supervisor, is this your verdict?"

Lian Yi nodded.

The imperial concubine froze for a moment, then held up what Lian Yi had written for everyone to look at.When everyone looked at it, they all showed disbelief and disappointment.

I saw that on the white snowy paper, there were only four words written simply, "It's too expensive".

Even if I don't even mention it, everyone knows that Ning Chun, who is the fourth lady of Ning Xiangfu, is "unspeakably expensive", so why should others take painstaking calculations?Even according to this judgment, writing is equal to not writing.

Someone sighed softly.

When Hong Dao saw this situation, he was elated, thinking that the opportunity to avenge his shame had finally come.

Sure enough, when the imperial concubine unfolded his verdict, a smile appeared on her face, "Look, this is written by Hong Daoyi."

Hong Daoyi wrote a roll of paper full, as if he was taking a big exam, his handwriting was clear and correct, with a faint sense of style.From Ning Chun's birth to the next year, the details of good and bad, big and small, are amazing.

Even if he has been serving as the onmyoji of the Prime Minister's Mansion, responsible for measuring the fate of the people in the mansion, it is really rare to be able to go to such a detailed level.

It seemed that Hong Dao had won the round in this round.

The imperial concubine also felt this way, so she planned to announce the conclusion.But I heard someone on the other side of the gate guard said, "Wait a minute—"

Qing Ning took a step forward and said respectfully, "I would like to report to the imperial concubine, before the imperial concubine makes a conclusion and announces the result, Qing Ning has something to say."

"Oh? Please tell me, Lime Gate Supervisor."

Qing Ning then said, "I would like to ask the imperial concubine, in Hong Dao's eloquent and eloquent essay, is there any mention of Miss Ning's future?"

The imperial concubine frowned and looked at it carefully again, "I haven't mentioned this before."

"Or mention Miss Fourth's marriage?"

The noble concubine's face darkened, she shook her head and said, "I haven't mentioned it either."

After Qing Ning's reminder, the imperial concubine suddenly realized one thing, the so-called "telling the fate by looking at the face" is to use today's judgment to remind the future, so as to avoid evil.But Hong Daoyi calculated all these trivial matters, and didn't mention any major matters such as future, marriage, etc. It cannot but be said that this long article is a piece of waste paper.

But Hong Daoyi always wants to beat Lian Yi by a little bit, so Concubine Ning said, "Lian Yi's 'indescribably expensive' is really empty, I can't judge her victory, so—"

"Imperial Concubine, if both of you are unsatisfactory, how about a tie?" the gate supervisor said suddenly, his voice calm and polite.

The imperial concubine looked at the gate supervisor, her eyes behind the mask were deep and gloomy.The noble concubine was silent for a while, and finally let go, "Since the gate supervisor has spoken, then it will be judged that the two of you are a draw. Then which one should we calculate next?"
