The Legend of Nanshan Jun

In the eighth year of Wude in the Great Xia, Li Zhenrui went to the East China Sea one after another and recovered the four countries in the East China Sea.

In the following ten years, the East China Sea gradually merged into the territory of Nanxia, ​​which is a later story.

It has been two months since I watched Li Zhenrui leave.

In the huge harem, only he is missing, but it seems to have lost the whole world.

Missing is like the sea of ​​hundreds of rivers, endless.

Before he left, I had done some calculations and expected that he would go well this time, but I still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After all, I haven't studied the art of divination and calculation. What if I make a mistake?Therefore, Qin Tianjian Cheng will always be called into the palace every now and then, and only with his confirmation can he feel at ease.

"Ling Xi, there is a new play in Liyuan, how about going to see it together?" Cui Minglang walked in.

I looked up and smiled at him.

He saw the book in my hand, took it over and looked at it, and said with a smile, "You read these every day?"

After brewing a cup of tea for him, I smiled and said, "The "Book of Changes" is the foundation of the five arts, and it can outline the outline for me."

Cui Minglang turned a few pages, "Oh? Tell me, what do you understand now?"

Seeing that he seemed to be more interested, I was a little embarrassed, "I'm superficial, but I just barely understand it."

"It's okay, just talk about it as you like." Cui Minglang didn't mind at all, and sat down next to me, not knowing whether it was a compliment or a joke, "Among so many princes from aristocratic families I know, who have such a good understanding of the mystical knowledge?" You are the first one who is interested."

Metaphysics has always been only practiced by quack warlocks, and princes of aristocratic families disdain it. Although the emperors of all dynasties have relied on Qin Tianjian, they seldom use it, just like a decoration.

Even though Li Zhenrui would give me some rare copies from the collection, I know he doesn't agree with this in his heart, but he just voted for my preference.

Compared with the Western Qin Dynasty, which advocated metaphysics, it was like a world of difference.

People often make self-judgments on unknown things from their own considerations, either blindly follow or deny.However, I am not blindly following or negating when I delve into this, because I believe that when I don’t know something, all judgments will not be accurate. Only by understanding it can I finally judge whether it is true or not.

Everything from astrology to the five arts.

However, so far, I have only felt that it is mysterious and inexhaustible, and the hidden laws also make me deeply surprised and at a loss.

Of course, I can't explain all these things to my mouth, I can only explain one or two things to Cui Minglang as clearly as possible.

"The five arts are divided into five categories: mountains (immortals), medicine, physiognomy, divination, and fate. Mountains include bait, foundation, Xuandian, boxing, and spells, etc.; medicine is prescriptions, acupuncture, and spiritual healing; , human appearance, family appearance, tomb appearance (feng shui); divination is divination, selection of auspiciousness, and survey; fate is advancement." ① "The astrology I have learned is fate. By observing the positions of the sun, moon and stars and their various Changes, or the horoscope of a person's birth date to predict all kinds of things in the world, ranging from personal destiny to national destiny."

"For example, as long as you tell me your birth date, I will be able to know about the major events you have encountered in the past or the events that will affect your future fate in the future. Of course, the premise is that your birth date is accurate." I calmly laughed.

Cui Minglang's usually calm and calm face was also extremely surprised at this moment, it's not hard to imagine his disbelief at this moment.

These arguments would be convincing if they were uttered by Qin Tian Jiancheng, Shiwai Gaoren, or the Western Qin State Master. For fortune-telling, it's no wonder Cui Minglang is so surprised.

So, I quickly added, "Naturally, I am far behind Qin Tianjian, and my guess is not accurate enough, and I still need time to improve."

However, this seems to have opened an unknown door for Cui Minglang. His curiosity was beyond words, and he asked me many questions in succession. He even asked me to help him calculate his fate, so as to verify the fortune-telling master Cui's family hired when he was born. Calculate.

"It's not a bad thing... It's just that I usually only calculate current events and national fortunes through stargazing, and I have never counted my birthday. Whether it is true or not, I still take it as a joke, okay?"

"Naturally." Cui Minglang said with a smile, "Then thank you very much, Master Xie."

I couldn't stand his banter, the tea I just drank choked in my throat, and I couldn't laugh or cry.

"Your horoscope is very good. You have no disasters and difficulties in your life, but you can become rich and powerful." I looked at the horoscope he handed me for my birthday, and couldn't help but sigh.

Cui Minglang nodded slightly, and looked at me with admiring eyes, "The Cui family has a well-educated family, and the family education is very good. Although I am a concubine of the Cui family, I am well-clothed and well-fed. Your Majesty is also very respectful to me, so it seems that it is indeed as you said."

I continued with some embarrassment, "But you can barely see your emotional fortune in your birthday horoscope, I'm afraid in this life..." I stopped talking and looked up at Cui Minglang, but he didn't have a trace of it. Sad, but smiled, "That's true, in this harem, it is naturally impossible to..."

Having said all that, we will say no more.

I coughed and continued, "But you are open-minded and have a lot of friends. Although you have no good people, you have many good friends. It is also a great joy in life."

Cui Minglang nodded in agreement.

Indeed, in this harem, Cui Minglang is very popular and deeply loved, even more so than me.

I explained a lot to him, including what he had encountered and what he might encounter in the future, which surprised him very much, so the whole afternoon passed unconsciously.

Naturally, there are also some inaccuracies, for example, I speculated that he might meet someone he is attracted to in the palace, but he refused to admit it. ——Although whether he will meet or not, there will be no result in the end.

The first time I told Cui Minglang's fortune, I was both apprehensive and excited. I would be sincerely proud of what he said was accurate, and I would be dissatisfied with myself when I encountered what he said was not accurate.

"Since you can tell fortunes and predict fortunes, wouldn't you be able to control my life?" Cui Minglang thought for a moment and asked suddenly, "Or do you mean that your astrologers are not allowed to reveal the secrets, or your life will be shortened?"

I froze for a while, never really thought about this question.

However, since I am not a god, how can I control the fate of others?

I seriously explained to him, "I've never heard of rumors about revealing secrets or shortening one's life. It's just that although there are only a few words in the horoscope of birth date, it contains everything. Everyone's fate is like a sky full of stars, and it takes a lot of energy for the astrologer to analyze." And cracking, so it is a very exhausting thing."

I said frankly, "As for grasping the lifeblood of others, it is almost impossible, because fate cannot be controlled by one person, and what I speculate is only the possible results, not the specific process. It is still a bit far-fetched to predict the future." .”

Compared with Qiankun Pavilion, my advancement is really far behind.

What I can calculate is nothing more than the possible future outcome of individuals or the fate of the country, but it is far less than Qiankun Pavilion's ability to accurately locate the specific events, individuals, and fortunes involved. Can't help but worship.

I remembered the prophecy of Qiankun Pavilion 20 years ago: Yao Lin moved westward and returned to the Central Plains.

Another prophecy ten years ago: the White Fox Kingdom will be destroyed, and Zhao Xia will change hands.

And the prophecy of the previous few years: Alluring male sex, cold and proud of the world.

These accurate and detailed predictions, as if the eyes of the sky had been opened, were accurate.

I have to admit that I am deeply attracted by it, but with my current status, it is impossible to go to the Qiankun Pavilion. This is probably the biggest regret in my life.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved." Cui Minglang's words brought back my wandering consciousness, and I asked suspiciously, "What are you relieved of?"

Cui Minglang coughed strangely, and quickly changed the subject, "Ahem... Ling Xi, why don't you do the math for yourself?"

I smiled helplessly, with a hint of sadness floating in my heart, and said not without regret, "I... don't know my birthday."

My life in Xie's house was not easy, not to mention my birthday, I seldom even had dinner with my father and brothers during Chinese New Year, and my mother seemed to have forgotten my birthday, only knowing which year I was born.

Cui Minglang saw that I was in a low mood, so he stopped asking me, chatted and laughed with me for a while, and had dinner together until late at night before leaving.

I looked up at the stars in the sky, but my thoughts gradually drifted away.

Since it can be counted as Cui Minglang's, why not Li Zhenrui's?

Thinking of this, my heart is also very excited.

I know the horoscope of Li Zhenrui's birthday, so I wrote down his horoscope immediately.

Although Li Zhenrui is a general, but his birth date is a typical emperor's fate, it is no wonder that he can sit on the throne of Ninety-Five Supreme.

From his horoscope, and relying on his face and palmistry in memory, it can be predicted that his imperial achievements are extraordinary, which also confirms the evaluation of Qiankun Pavilion ten years ago.

However, his marriage luck was very twists and turns. There were "life and death break" and "parting break", which can be described in four words as "deep love and shallow relationship".

It is also because of the influence of marriage luck that I can't see the image of unifying the Three Kingdoms in his horoscope. This is probably his biggest regret in this life.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. I just hope that his "life and death" and "farewell" have nothing to do with me, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no happy ending between me and him. This is what I don't want to see.

However, the horoscope of birth and date only shows the innate fate, while the birth from the heart is based on the future.And the influence of the acquired experience on the individual should not be underestimated, so we cannot draw conclusions based on these alone, only by combining comprehensive judgments such as star fortune, can we draw an accurate conclusion, and these are full of variables in the future.

Just like Ziwei star shining brightly in the southern starry sky at this moment, its limelight is in full swing, far overwhelming the king star in the northern and western sky, how can we predict which king star will dominate the starry sky in the future?

It's just... I carefully stared at another bright star next to Ziweixing. I don't know if it was dazzled. Why did I see it gradually dimming, and the distance between it and Ziweixing also shifted?

I used to always think I was that star, but now I wish I wasn't.

But if I am not that star, who is?

But after all, I don't know my birthday, so I can't calculate it accurately, so it's normal to miss something, right?

I rubbed my eyes again and saw that there was not much distance between the two stars, so I felt relieved, maybe I was just thinking too much?

During this period of time, the news of the great victory in the East China Sea was received, and the palace was full of joy.

I was dragged by Cui Minglang and finally walked out of Donghua Pavilion.

"Even Lord Nanshan needs to eat human fireworks occasionally, right?" Cui Minglang laughed.

"Yes, Mr. Donghua is right." I agreed.

Looking up, I saw two rows of civil and military officials passing by the shade of willows in front of me, and a child in a yellow robe was walking in front of me. His small figure was very imposing, and he looked like Li Zhenrui when he was young.

"His Royal Highness is young and promising, and Nan Xia has someone to succeed him!" Cui Minglang said happily.

I couldn't help but nodded and praised, "His Royal Highness is indeed very kingly."

However, at the age of ten, he took on the important task of supervising the country during Li Zhenrui's absence. He thought that Li Zhenrui was too pampered, but now it seems that Li Yong is indeed worthy of it.

However, Li Zhenrui really loves Li Yong very much.Mingming Concubine De's son is the eldest son, but Li Yong, who does not know who his mother is, was named the crown prince.

He was only ten years old, and he had never been crowned prince so early in all dynasties.Besides, Li Zhenrui only has two sons, if there are better heirs later, will Li Zhenrui change his original intention?

Li Yong saw us, but he didn't come over to greet us immediately, but slowly came over after dismissing the officials around us.

A ten-year-old prince, no matter how mature he is, is still just a child to me.

He walked towards us with unhurried steps, his expression was calm, he stood in front of us, and when he raised his head, he was not arrogant or humble, he just said calmly, "Mr. Nanshan, Mr. Donghua."

Cui Minglang and I nodded at the same time.

This is the first time I have met Li Yong. He lives in the Zhongzhao Palace where Wang Guifei lived. He heard that his studies are heavy and he seldom goes out of the East Palace on weekdays.

Children of this age should be free to play and fight freely, but he has taken on undue heavy responsibilities and is able to handle them with ease.

But what amazes me the most is his very similar temperament to Li Zhenrui, not just his appearance.Every frown and smile seems to have seen Li Zhenrui's appearance when he was young, no wonder Li Zhenrui loves him so much.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has worked hard." Cui Minglang seemed to have known the Crown Prince for a long time, and greeted him familiarly.

Li Yong said "Mmm", with a serious face like a little adult, "Father is not here, so I have to do my best alone."

I was overwhelmed by his grown-up tone, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitched slightly.

If you look closely at his facial features, you can see how similar he is to Li Zhenrui, but Li Zhenrui may be tougher because he has fought in the battlefield all year round, while the prince looks more refined.

In terms of appearance, the crown prince is indeed more handsome than the eldest prince, and Concubine Ming De is also a great beauty.

It's just that I don't know who the prince's biological mother is, she must be a peerless beauty.

When I was looking at Li Yong, he seemed to be looking at me too, looked at me for a while and said, "Mr. Nanshan really deserves to be the most beautiful woman in the world."

It made me a little embarrassed and awkward to say these words from a ten-year-old child, so I had no choice but to reply, "Your Highness is absurd."

"I heard that Mr. Nanshan is good at divination?" Li Yong asked again.

I couldn't help looking at Cui Minglang, Cui Minglang blushed slightly, and coughed lightly.

"His Royal Highness is also interested in metaphysics, right?" I laughed.

"That's not true," Li Yong cleared his throat, "But if Mr. Nanshan is free, why don't you do the math for Gu, to see if Gu has the appearance of an emperor."

My heart was shocked, Li Yong dared to say it directly, isn't he afraid that Li Zhenrui would be unhappy if he knew it?Or is this his probing and my reaction to that?

I slightly turned my head to look at Cui Minglang, he was also a little surprised, and then said with a smile, "His Royal Highness speaks childishly, but you need to be careful."

Li Yong was unmoved, just looked at me and asked, "How?"

I pondered for a while, and agreed, "Yes, His Royal Highness, please give us your birth date. Come to Donghua Pavilion tomorrow, and I will answer His Highness."

While it might be troublesome to speculate on the outcome, Li Yong's birthday certainly piqued my interest.

As soon as I got his birthday horoscope, I analyzed it seriously. In order not to make any deviations, I even looked through several collections for supporting evidence. The result surprised me very much.

On the second day, Li Yong came to Donghua Pavilion as he said.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you." Li Yong entered the door very politely, rarely showing a smile of expectation, "I don't know how your Majesty counts?"

After I asked him to sit down, I slowly asked, "Who is your mother?"

His eyes flickered, as if unwilling to mention it, "I don't remember."

I have some regrets. Based on the time, he should have been only three years old when his mother left him. It's normal not to remember.

I have to admit that Li Yong really has the destiny of an emperor, and he is the future King Xia.

Naturally, I can't just tell him directly that the result of this divination is enough to change the fate of many people.

And out of selfishness, I also hope that in the future my child can become the Nine-Five Supreme.

The Crown Prince is nominally the son of Concubine Wang, but Concubine Wang and I are in the same situation. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it will be disadvantageous for me.

However, since my fate is like this, I will naturally not change my fate against the sky. When I have my own child one day, I will know who is suitable to be King Xia.

After all, Li Yong is only ten years old, it is enough to satisfy his curiosity, and there is no need to analyze it in too much detail.

After making up my mind, I said slowly, "Your future is full of challenges, but you will also reap glory that ordinary people cannot obtain. But if you are too selfish, you will easily miss good opportunities."

Li Yong nodded expressionlessly.

"Actually, having a brother is not a bad thing for you..." I said after deliberation.

But Li Yong suddenly felt a little strong, and replied coldly, "I don't need a brother alone."

I understand his desire not to have younger siblings, but I didn't expect him to dare to emphasize his idea so clearly.

"His Royal Highness, the royal family has many sons, it is impossible for you to have only one brother," I stated the objective facts, "Besides, if your father knows that you think so, I am afraid he will be disappointed."

Li Yong glanced at me indifferently, "Father knows, Nanshan Jun doesn't have to worry about it."

I froze for a moment, and heard him continue, "I heard that Mr. Nanshan once had a miscarriage... I would like to advise Mr. Nanshan to cherish himself. Since he is a man, why bother to imitate a woman to conceive and have a child?"

These words were very disrespectful, especially when it came to my sore spot, I lowered my face, "Your father has the final say on whether to live or not, the crown prince should not care too much."

Li Yong curled his lips, "Gu is too lazy to care, Gu just reminds you, no matter how much Father loves you, Father still loves my mother the most."

The teacup fell from my fingertips, making a "bang" sound, and my heart was unconsciously picked up by this sentence.

Knowing that these were words spoken by a child who was unwilling to be robbed of his father's love by his brothers, he was still hurt a bit.

"Your mother hasn't been here for so many years, your father may have forgotten it long ago." I smiled and said, "Otherwise, why didn't you give your mother a place?"

Li Yong clenched his fists and remained silent.

"If His Royal Highness is fine, I will send someone to take you back." I said to him.

Li Yong lowered his head, and said after a while, "You don't know at all...the reason why my mother has no position is because..." He quickly stopped what he was about to blurt out, with a complicated expression on his face, and left under my puzzled eyes. up.

Almost no one in the palace knew about Li Yong's biological mother, and Li Zhenrui didn't seem to allow anyone to mention it, so it became a mystery.

This is Li Zhenrui's past, and I will never be able to participate.

Although there are regrets, it will not be discouraged by it.

I will slowly let his heart out of that woman, and then only me will be left.

After all, the person who will accompany him in the future is me,

After all, I will join hands with him for the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, I feel much better, so I continue to pick up my astrology book and read it carefully.

A note with the date of birth blocked my sight, followed by Dieyi's enlarged smile.

I raised my eyebrows slightly, picked up the note and asked, "Dieyi, do you really think of me as a fortune teller?"

Dieyi stuck out her tongue, her face full of anticipation, "Your Majesty, you can do the math for the slave, and see if the slave's life is good."

Seeing her excited expression, I had no choice but to agree, but the little girl kept urging me.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter, what will happen to the slaves in the future?"

"How can you be so eager." I laughed, and then began to explain in a serious manner, "Look at your birth date, it is the fate of a noble person who will make you free from slavery and live a prosperous and healthy life."

Dieyi's originally playful appearance became serious at this moment, as if she had spoken her heart, she asked quickly, "What else is there, Your Majesty?"

Under her repeated questioning, I told her what I had calculated one by one, until I finished speaking, she was still in a daze.

"Okay, I don't need you to wait on me today, go back and rest early." I urged her, and she left in a bewildered response.

From Dieyi's horoscope, I saw what I always wanted.

What a lucky girl, I couldn't help but smile.

When I looked up, I saw more than a dozen pieces of paper with birthday characters stretched out towards me.

At the door are Xixue, Xirui, Luo Yu, Luo Feng and a group of attendants standing in a row.

The corner of my mouth couldn't help twitching, "You guys are..."

"Your Majesty, you can do the math for the slaves (handmaids)!"

I:"……"
