I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 3 Dress up as a pig and eat a tiger
The door opened, and with the backlight, through the curtain, Lin Xingwei saw a slender woman walking in, followed by two young maidservants.

Chen Xinan was wearing a red jacquard dress with a flower blue cross collar and a red jacquard skirt on the right lap. She had a glamorous appearance, with emerald pearls on her head, making her look elegant and rich.

Yunzhu had already placed the seat of Xinan County Lord in the middle of the hall.

Chen Xinan was a little startled when he saw this scene, the guest seats were placed in the center, and the curtain was used to separate the host and guest, what is the meaning?
Yunzhu explained: "Don't blame the county lord, my princess has sprained feet and can't sit upright, and her sick posture is not suitable for seeing guests. This is why the curtain is separated, and the county lord can do whatever he wants."

Chen Xinan glanced coldly at Lin Xingwei who was behind the curtain, and he was indeed a person with no manners.

A sprained foot is not a sprained leg, so can't she sit with her knees bent?It's not a baby who is still young, sitting in the skip is an extremely inelegant sitting posture.

Lin Xingwei didn't care about her cold face. From the words of the second aunt just now, she could tell that the Xinan County Lord's purpose in coming to the Hou's Mansion was very likely to be impure. She had to be careful in dealing with it.

Chen Xinan pretended to salute Lin Xingwei, and then sat down quietly.

Lin Xingwei got straight to the point and said: "Our Hou's Mansion and the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion seldom interact with each other. I just accidentally sprained my foot, so I asked the county magistrate to come to visit me. I'm really flattered."

Chen Xinan looked around and said with a smile on his face, "I'm not only here to visit the princess, but I also have important matters to discuss with the princess, can you let all the servants go down?"

Lin Xingwei raised his eyes to look at Yun Zhu who was kneeling behind him, and told her to go out first, and Chen Xinan's two maidservants followed immediately.

Lin Xingwei wanted to hear what the county chief had to say to her.

Chen Xinan said: "It's the first time I talked to Princess Youning, I didn't want to beat around the bush, so I just said it straight. The princess should find a way to divorce General Wei, the princess is the queen's close relative, and General Wei has always been wary of you, even if he forced it If you get married, the princess will waste your youth, so it is better to retire early and choose another good son-in-law."

"This is a matter between me and General Wei. It's not my turn to talk to me about this, the county magistrate. Let's talk about your own goals." Lin Xingwei took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner.

Chen Xinan forced a smile, and said softly: "Anyone with discerning eyes knows that in this marriage, the Princess is not only a pawn for the queen and the prince, but also a shield for General Wei to resist the queen and prince's wooing. This is the marriage between General Wei and the queen. A game between princes."

"No matter who wins this game of chess, the princess and the Nanyang Marquis will lose the most. In order to pave the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future, the empress violated His Majesty's taboo, so General Wei is unwilling to stand in line prematurely."

"The empress and the crown prince are backed by the Taiwei's mansion. It is difficult for General Wei to refuse openly, and even His Majesty is embarrassed. That's why he changed the marriage partner from the eldest princess to you, the princess."

"My father, King Yingchuan, is powerful and is willing to help General Wei. As long as I marry General Wei, this matter will be resolved. The most important thing now is for us to find a way together so that the princess and General Wei can withdraw from the marriage."

After hearing this, Lin Xingwei was shocked, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, thought for a while and said, "It's easy for me and General Wei to divorce, but at worst, I'll hide outside and come back after a year or so, and let my mother go back to her mother's house." After crying, this marriage is over, after all, I am also the granddaughter of Lord Taiwei. But... you said that you want to marry General Wei, did General Wei agree?"

Through the curtain, Lin Xingwei also saw Chen Xinan's expression froze. It was obviously wishful thinking of Yingchuan Palace.

Wei Mingji is the official envoy of the Shangdu Mansion, the confidant of the Shengshang, and he has a powerful Yangzhai army in his hands. The queen and prince must not be the only ones who want to win him over, King Yingchuan is also on the list.

After thinking about this, Lin Xingwei breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Wei Mingji is the sweet pastry that everyone wants, and all forces are coveting it. Under such circumstances, this marriage has to be cautious.

You can't retreat easily, and you can't tie knots easily.

Chen Xinan stabilized his expression and said: "As long as the princess divorces General Wei first and picks herself out first, the princess won't worry about the rest."

Lin Xingwei nodded, and said softly: "Xinan county lord is right. This tussle has nothing to do with my Nanyang Marquis Mansion. I was dragged in innocently. Since the county lord is willing to help me, please settle this matter." Explain to General Wei that, after all, retiring the engagement is not a matter for me alone, and the key point requires the cooperation of General Wei."

Chen Xinan looked arrogant, and said in a clear voice: "Naturally, General Wei's princess can rest assured that he will cooperate with returning this relative."

Chen Xinan smiled happily. She thought Princess Youning would not want to retire, but she didn't expect the princess to agree when she mentioned it.

There were rumors outside that Princess You Ning refused to marry, smashed Wei Mingji's betrothal gift and committed suicide. I met the princess today. Such rumors sound a bit excessive, but they also seem to be true.

People who know Princess Youning's temper say that Princess Youning was made ignorant and selfish by her father Nanyang Hou.

After seeing her today, Chen Xinan knew that the rumors were true, Princess Youning really never thought about the family.

His Majesty nodded his kinship with General Wei, which can be regarded as an imperial gift.If they withdraw their marriage, it will not only anger the Holy Majesty, but also disrupt the plans of the Queen and the Prince, and the future of the Lin family may come to an end.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinan smiled sinisterly.

Lin Xingwei watched her smile, and she also smiled, and raised the teacup, saying: "I will replace the wine with tea, thank you County Lord for your help."

"Princess, you are welcome!" Chen Xi Nanyin smiled and drank it down.

……

After sending Chen Xinan away, Lin Xingwei asked Yunzhu to inquire about the birth dates of Yingchuan King Chen Rui and Xinan County Lord, took out a tortoise shell and three copper coins, and made a divination for their father and daughter.

The hexagrams show that King Yingchuan was born rebellious, not a loyal courtier.She watched the sky again at night, everything was normal, especially the Yinghuo star was still in place, Dang Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that His Majesty is so powerful that King Yingchuan dare not make any changes for the time being under suppression.Two days later, a comet passed faintly in the night sky, and Lin Xingwei made another divination immediately. There was an opponent in the main state, which probably referred to King Yingchuan.

Chen Xinan's hexagram is also not good, he is a person with shallow fortune and bad luck.

Lin Xingwei looked at the hexagram, raised his eyebrows slightly, let out a sigh of relief, and muttered: "If you want to defy the sky with your life, I'm afraid it won't last long."

With his future uncertain, Lin Xingwei didn't bother to care about Chen Xinan anymore.

Lin Xingwei didn't know how other people's fate would affect her, and she didn't bother to worry about it.

As the saying goes: When soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with soil. If the generals can't stop the soil and can't cover them, then let the city sink and the river break its embankment.
