The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue turned around and saw Li Qianqian and Li Guangxing walking towards her, followed by two maids and a servant.

Both men bowed to Jingxue, who was holding Jingze and Yingying's hands. Jingxue simply nodded slightly and said, "You've come too! No need for formalities among family."

She then said to Xiaoze, "Xiaoze, these are our eldest uncle's children. You should call them cousin and older cousin."

Xiaoze pulled down his small mask, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and said, "Hello, cousin! Hello, older cousin!"

Li Qianqian stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ze, "Hello to you too! Xiao Ze, you're such a good boy! Grandma misses you a lot! When do you have time to visit her?"

Xiaoze nodded and said, "Yes, we will. We will definitely visit our grandmother and uncle and aunt as soon as we have time."

“Okay!” Li Qianqian replied, looking at the four neatly dressed maids behind Jingxue, each carrying a small box.

I thought to myself, "The maids in my cousin's house are really something!"

"Cousin, why are you with so many children?" Li Guangxing asked, looking at the other three children wearing masks. The youngest girl even had a little black bird's head peeking out from under her cloak!

I've never heard of Prince Zhan having concubines or secondary wives, so how did he end up with so many children?

Jingxue smiled and said, "They're all children from our household. You should go on over there! We can chat again another time. It's still quite cold outside!"

Li Guangxing: So he really is the son of the War King.

“Okay, cousin, let’s go line up,” Li Qianqian said.

"Okay! See you later!"

Seeing that Li Qianqian and the other person had left, Jingxue also led her people into the palace gate.

The East Palace and the Phoenix Palace are in opposite directions. Jingxue told Xiaoman and the other three to hurry to the Phoenix Palace so as not to keep the Empress and the others waiting.

Today, there were eunuchs leading the way at the palace gate. The East Palace is located on one side of the palace. As soon as Jingxue saw the long wall, she knew that the East Palace was quite large.

Sure enough, after entering the gate of the East Palace, we walked for a while before arriving at a courtyard with the words "Yichun Palace" written on it.

"Your Highness, this is the palace where you and the Prince are temporarily residing. There are twelve palace maids and eunuchs inside, six men and six women, and one supervisor for each. Please give your orders. This servant has other business to attend to and must take his leave now!" The little eunuch finished speaking, bowed, and left.

Jingxue asked Yingjiu to knock on the door. The door opened quickly, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard were already standing there, bowing in unison.

"This servant greets the Princess Consort of War!"

"No need for formalities!" Jingxue said, leading her people into the courtyard.

"Your Highness, this way please!" an older palace maid said, bowing.

Jingxue glanced at it briefly. It was a large courtyard with four courtyards, each with a main hall and side halls on both sides.

It was rather empty for more than ten of them to live in such a large courtyard.

Leaving aside how Jingxue and the others were settled, let's talk about how Ye Muchen and the Emperor were about to arrive at Xiangguo Temple.

Xiangguo Temple is located on the mountainside in the southwestern part of Shangjing City.

The emperor's journey was scouted by imperial guards yesterday, and the snow on the road had been cleared, so the journey was quite fast.

The reason the emperor had Ye Muchen accompany him today was that he wanted to take the opportunity to visit the greenhouses that Jingxue and her family cultivated in Dashan Village.

The retired emperor told him that the potatoes were almost ripe, and the emperor was also eager to see them, since he was already out of the palace anyway.

The mountain where Xiangguo Temple is located is called Nansong Mountain. From a distance, the pine trees and the snow-capped peaks complement each other, creating a simple yet majestic scene.

The steps had been cleared. The emperor boarded his imperial carriage at the foot of the mountain and stepped onto the steps. It would take some time to climb the 108 steps, but fortunately, the emperor was in his prime and did not need anyone's help. Ye Muchen followed behind the emperor.

In front of the mountain gate, Master Yuantong and his disciples had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing the emperor and his entourage approach, he clasped his hands together and murmured, "Your Majesty's arrival brings glory to this humble temple!"

The emperor, catching his breath, said, "Master Yuantong, I have come to the temple today to offer incense and pray for the people. Master, your Buddhist teachings are profound. I would like to ask you to look at the fate of our nation."

"Your Majesty is wise and sagacious, and the Buddha's light shines upon all. This is a blessing for the world. Your Majesty, please come in!"

After offering incense and finishing their vegetarian meal, the emperor and Master Yuantong sat on prayer cushions and drank tea.

"Master, the heavens have sent down auspicious snow, a good omen. I wonder what kind of year our Northern Night will have next?" the Emperor asked.

Master Yuantong was skilled in divination and astrology, which is why Xiangguo Temple was very popular.

However, not everyone can see Master Yuantong. A few days ago, Minister Wang Hansheng came but was unable to see him. The monks in the temple said that Master Yuantong was in meditation and was not receiving guests.

Wang Hansheng had no choice but to go back.

Master Yuantong, with his prayer beads in hand and eyes lowered, said, "A lucky star has descended, and from now on, the northern night will enjoy favorable weather and abundant harvests."

"Really? That's wonderful! No wonder the Imperial Observatory said the Crown Prince is a lucky star."

Master Yuantong's brow twitched slightly upon hearing the emperor's words, but he remained silent after a moment's thought.

The lucky star he deduced could not be the eldest prince, because the lucky star appeared first, and then the eldest prince was born. But heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, so let's not say it if we can keep it to ourselves!

The main problem is that this lucky star couldn't be accurately located; he could only calculate that it was in the capital city, and that it arrived suddenly.

"Master, Cangbei has submitted a letter of friendship to our dynasty. Does this mean that the two countries can remain friendly, there will be no more wars, and the people can live in peace and prosperity?"

"Your Majesty, this lucky star is a once-in-a-century occurrence. With her around, it can be said that all nations come to pay homage."

Upon hearing this, the emperor nearly jumped up.

"Really? It seems I am a blessed person."

He's Lucky Star's father!

Seeing the emperor's reaction, Master Yuantong, fearing he might have misled the emperor, had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, this lucky star is not the eldest prince, for this lucky star is a woman."

"Hmm? A woman? Who is she? How old is she?"

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, this lucky star is still unstable. This humble monk has only divined that the lucky star is a girl in her teens."

The emperor was puzzled. "A teenage girl? Unstable? What do you mean?"

The emperor's mind was in chaos. He thought of the Princess of Kangping County, a teenage girl.

"I have calculated that the Goddess of Fortune is currently in the capital, but she may leave in the future. In the past six months, the capital and even the court have likely undergone some changes due to the Goddess of Fortune's appearance. Haven't you noticed?"

"Yes! That's right! The master's predictions were very accurate."

That brat Jingxue bullied Kangping; maybe he really is thinking of leaving the capital!

No, a thought suddenly flashed through the emperor's mind: half a year?

In the past six months, Jingxue has brought many changes to the court, such as the salt-making formula, saving the Empress and the eldest prince, planting new varieties of grain, and the third prince not allowing him to be given a pardon, because the Emperor said he was afraid that the girl would fly away!

However, if Jingxue is truly a lucky star descended to earth, then why did Jingzhiyuan still suffer misfortune? What reasons and secrets are hidden behind this?

Could it be because Jingxue had already married and moved to the capital, making it impossible for her to intervene?

The Emperor couldn't help but recall what his father had said to him last night, and asked earnestly, "Master, I wonder if you could do a fortune telling for Princess Zhan? I always feel that there is something different about that girl."
