A chrysanthemum viewing banquet caused widespread discussion among the people of Shengjing City and caused a stir in the court of Dongling.

In the study of the Third Prince's Mansion, the Third Prince paced back and forth anxiously. He had never expected that after he left Juyuan, the eldest princess would actually kill Liang Yanqi. He also accidentally leaked the news and was blocked by Liang Su halfway.

What happened at the banquet was originally just a little romantic affair of that fool Princess Roujia, which only affected Princess Roujia's own marriage, but the princess made such a stupid move, and now public opinion is overwhelmingly condemning the princess's mansion!

The third prince had tried his best to please the eldest princess and finally formed an alliance with her, but now he seems like a joke.

Fortunately, the eldest princess still held the trump card of Feng Fuliu. The third prince coveted the leverage the eldest princess had over the dignitaries, so after the two formed an alliance, the third prince shamelessly invested in Feng Fuliu.

Mr. Chong sat at the desk by the window, flipping through a book calmly, looking calm and composed.

The Third Prince looked at Mr. Chong, as if he had been given a reassurance pill. He felt a little relieved and consoled himself that he might just lose the eldest princess as an ally. Moreover, thanks to his unremitting efforts, Queen Meng's attitude had softened somewhat. With the support of Queen Meng and the Meng family in the future, the eldest princess would not be a big deal.

He slowly sat back at the table and picked up a book to read carefully.

Suddenly, a guard hurried in, holding a letter and said, "Your Highness, this is a letter from the Princess's residence. Please take a look."

The third prince was shocked. He quickly opened the letter and read it quickly.

It turned out that the eldest princess was worried that Liang Su would reveal the matter of Feng Fuliu, and the emperor's warning frightened her. She secretly guessed that the emperor already knew about Feng Fuliu, so she decided to temporarily close Feng Fuliu to avoid the limelight.

The Third Prince's eyes flashed with rage. He had invested a lot of money in Feng Fuliu, and now they were closing down without even getting a penny back? Furthermore, he hadn't even gotten any leverage over anyone! His face was livid with rage, and with a ferocious expression, he tore the letter paper to shreds.

Mr. Chong frowned slightly and asked calmly, "May I ask Your Highness, what has made you so angry?"

The Third Prince suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I invested a lot of money in the Princess's Feng Fu Liu, but now she has decided to close it down."

Mr. Chong stroked his beard and said gently, "Your Highness, the eldest princess is now notorious, and you have always had a reputation for virtue. This is precisely your capital in competing for the throne. Therefore, you should cherish your reputation and stay away from the eldest princess."

"Besides, in this world, misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune. Perhaps this is a very good thing, so Your Highness should keep a calm mind and remain calm in the face of adversity, which is the way of an emperor."

The Third Prince's furious heart was instantly calmed. He said with shame, "Sir, you are absolutely right. I was confused!"

As the two were talking, the guard hurried in again, still holding a letter in his hand. He respectfully said, "Your Highness, this is a letter from Miss Xie of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, sent by a maid. The maid is waiting outside the door."

The third prince knew that this must be Xie Qingyao's birth date. He took the letter and opened it slowly. A fragrant petal fell from the paper, but the third prince didn't pay any attention to it. He quickly opened the letter and saw the birth date written in beautiful handwriting on it.

The Third Prince was eager to verify this. He looked up at Mr. Chong and respectfully asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you proficient in divination? Can you tell me someone's fortune?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Mr. Chong's eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "I can't say I'm proficient in it, but I know a little bit."

The third prince showed a surprised smile. Mr. Chong was aloof and humble. He said that he knew a little bit, which was often a level that most people could not reach. He was like an inexhaustible treasure trove!

The third prince stood up quickly and placed the eight characters in front of Mr. Chong.

Mr. Chong didn't know whose horoscope these were, but when the Third Prince asked him to calculate, he started to calculate quickly. After a moment, he looked at the Third Prince with a serious expression, and a crack appeared on his usually calm face. He seemed a little bit unbelieving, and started to calculate again.

The Third Prince looked at Mr. Chong nervously. Seeing that Mr. Chong's expression was becoming increasingly serious, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is there something wrong with this horoscope?"

Mr. Chong looked suspicious and shook his head gently. He said in a deep voice, "May I ask whose birth chart this is, Your Highness? This person's fate is extremely precious, even..."

"It's the Phoenix Destiny, the future queen, right?" The third prince asked anxiously, his heart pounding non-stop, thinking to himself, could it be that Xie Qingyao is really the Phoenix Destiny?

Mr. Chong nodded and confirmed, "It is indeed a Phoenix destiny, which is rare in the world."

The Third Prince was instantly overjoyed. He clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Sir, you are absolutely right. Blessings and disasters can come together. I never thought good things would happen so soon!"

He excitedly walked around the room a few times, then suddenly walked to the desk and quickly wrote down his birth date and eight characters. He quickly brought them to Mr. Chong and said excitedly, "Sir, please calculate whether these eight characters are compatible with mine. Can this person help me ascend to the throne?"

Mr. Chong looked down at the eight characters on the paper and quickly counted on his fingers. This time, his expression remained calm and he did not show any abnormality.

The third prince was anxious, but did not dare to urge him. He pursed his lips tightly, his hands trembled slightly, and he stared at Mr. Chong without blinking.

After Mr. Chong finished his calculations, he was amazed. This person's horoscope was so incompatible with the Third Prince's that if the Third Prince got too close, he would probably die miserably!

The Third Prince could no longer hold back and asked, "Sir, how is it?"

Mr. Chong raised his eyebrows slightly. As far as he knew, there was only one young lady in the Jing'an Marquis's mansion with the Phoenix destiny. He pondered for a moment, then said in a gentle voice, "This person's destiny is extremely compatible with Your Highness's. She will definitely help Your Highness ascend to the throne. Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Really?" The third prince jumped up happily. God was watching over him. Fortunately, he was not blinded by lust that day, otherwise it would have been a disaster!

The Third Prince quickly sat down at the table and wrote a heartfelt reply. He also made an appointment with Xie Qingyao to go on a boat cruise on the lake a few days later. He secretly made up his mind to use all his strength to win over Xie Qingyao! In addition, he would also send people to ensure her safety, so as to ensure his great cause.

Compared with Xie Qingyao, the eldest princess, Queen Meng and the like are nothing.

The third prince summoned the guard and told him to give the letter to Xie Qingyao's maid and give her a generous reward.

At the gate of the Third Prince's Mansion, Xiao Tao had never received so much reward money before. She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She took the letter and ran to the corner of the street at full speed.

At the street corner, Xie Qingyao was waiting anxiously...
