"Fortune telling, is he using those few small bones to tell fortunes?" Yuan Chengcheng whispered to Hongchan behind him, although Hongchan is well-informed, she is not very clear about divination: "I heard that people who understand numerology can predict future changes according to some signs, some people look at the stars, some people look at palm prints, and some people recognize dominoes, which may be one of them." ”

"Is it the same as the national teacher?" Every year when it doesn't rain, the national teacher will set up an altar in the palace, and the gods and gods are singing and dancing on the stage, and there are words in her mouth but they are vague, she can only understand one of the sentences "Taishang Laojun is anxious like a law" and the like, and then it doesn't rain at all, and she can't see much difference at all. She thinks that she is an old liar, but her father lets him come to power every time there is a big event, Yuan Chengcheng thinks it is funny, and when he was a child, he also learned for a long time "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law". In the end, the national teacher became angry when he saw her face, and sued King Hua several times to ask the princess not to insult the gods again, but King Hua promised but was happy to make his daughter happy, and every time he let her go.

"It should be about the same, right? I've heard that some people can predict the future very accurately based on some signs, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know very much. ”

"Am I going to be under his control?" Yuan Chengcheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, I heard that there is a kind of witchcraft that can stab villains and harm people's lives, these few small bones of his can do this without need, right?

"Probably not." Hongchan comforted, "They are not the same thing as that kind of witchcraft, the princess doesn't have to be afraid!" Besides, even if there was that kind of witchcraft, who would dare to do it to the princess? ”

"That's right!" Seeing that Shangguan Jingxuan had already collected the dominoes and entered the Jing'an Pavilion, Yuan Chengcheng walked out of the corner with confidence, "They went in, let's go in too!" ”

Just as he was about to follow them in, Yuan Chengcheng suddenly remembered something and came back and asked the guards guarding the door: "Has His Royal Highness the Emperor Fu arrived?" The guard shook his head: "Not yet, do you want to wait for them to arrive at the subordinates before going in to inform the princess?" Although Yuan Chengcheng had expected that he would not come, he really didn't come, which still hurt her heart a little: "No need, they probably won't come today......"

As soon as Yuan Chengcheng entered the door, the princes and grandsons who were originally talking and laughing in the room were immediately silent, like a group of students who were about to be checked by Mr. Although Yuan Chengcheng is still unfamiliar to most of them, it can also be roughly seen from their seats how powerful the dynasty they came from. Huangfu was not in the cold night, and Shangguan Jingxuan's status was far superior to that of others, so although he came the latest, the position he sat in and the open space he occupied were far better than others.

Jing'an Pavilion was originally a place for a separate banquet, but suddenly so many princes and grandsons came, and naturally the whole room seemed crowded, especially the princes from several small countries couldn't even find a place to sit, so they had to stand together. Yuan Chengcheng glanced at the vacant seat beside Shangguan Jingxuan, and was a little dissatisfied with his occupation of the vacant seat but didn't say anything, but the displeasure in her eyes was enough to make Shangguan Jingxuan feel uneasy for a while.

"The princes of all countries are the distinguished guests of this princess, how can there be a reason for the host to sit but let the guests stand, Hongchan, send someone to move a few chairs over!" Although her seat had already been arranged, Yuan Chengcheng had been standing until the attendant moved the seat before sitting down. Shangguan Jingxuan was very embarrassed by her, and he didn't sit or stand, until Yuan Chengcheng also sat down, and gradually became comfortable.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Yuan Chengcheng's actions just now inexplicably touched Shangguan Jingxuan's heart. Anguo's rules of respect and inferiority are notoriously strict, and there are strict laws to follow for different statuses, and there is no room for negotiation and accommodation. Shangguan Jingxuan was already very dissatisfied with the strict hierarchy, but he was powerless to resist and could only choose to obey. When he entered the house, he saw that he occupied a large area because of the national power of Anguo, and several princes of weak countries were forced to stand, and he felt uncomfortable, but this is the case with the law of the jungle, although he sympathized with it, he could only helplessly follow this law.

Although Yuan Chengcheng's actions somewhat damaged his face, he could find a person who had the same thoughts as himself in the prince and grandson, although it was a loss of face, but it was also a thing worth being happy about.

Everyone had nothing to do in the house, and after a brief introduction of themselves, they all followed Yuan Chengcheng to the imperial garden behind Jing'an Pavilion. Anguo has the strongest national strength, and all the princes have consciously given up the position next to Yuan Chengcheng to Shangguan Jingxuan, and the people next to them are also some relatively large little princes.

Yuan Tingcheng remembered that his father mentioned that the princes and sons had their own specialties, so he casually asked Chen Shiyu, the son of the prince of Xiang, who was behind him: "I heard my father say that the country of incense is rich in spices, and His Royal Highness Chen is also very good at studying spices, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

With Prince An on his side, Chen Shiyu didn't expect that it would be his turn to be the first to be questioned, and he suddenly felt flattered: "His Majesty King Menghua praised falsely, Shi Yu didn't dare to be arrogant." Although Shi Yu's spice skills are not as profound as those of the spice master in the palace, he does have some opinions on the combination of spices. If the princess wants to change some new spices, Shi Yu will definitely do her best to make new fragrances for the princess. ”

"I heard Hongchan say that the fire is not very good to grasp when the flower stove for smoking clothes is incense, is that so?" She secretly smoked it herself, but her clothes were all burnt and she didn't add much to the smell of flowers. I can smell the clothes smoked by the spice master, which are more fragrant than the flowers picked in the garden, and I don't know how they smoked them.

"It's not easy to master, when incense is smoked, you must be skilled and have some talent for burning incense, the selection and matching of petals, the heat of the incense burner, and the time of incense are all to be understood by long-term pondering."

It's so hard! Yuan Chengcheng was a little deflated, listening to what his father said, he felt that incense should be the simplest, but it turned out to be so troublesome, he didn't ask about it if he knew it. Yuan Chengcheng's gaze casually glanced back, and the envious eyes of the princes looking at Chen Shiyu immediately turned into ardent expectations for the next one to be picked. Yuan Chengcheng glanced at the most enthusiastic Prince Chongguan of the Blue Kingdom with some apologies, weaving is too difficult, she really doesn't want to learn!

"What about His Highness Shangguan? I've heard that your dominoes can predict the future, is it true? Yuan Chengcheng was a little tired from walking, and saw a stone table under the tree, and there were two stone benches lined up next to it, so he sat on one of the stone benches to rest, and everyone stood around her for a while.

Without her invitation, Shangguan Jingxuan didn't dare to sit down without permission, stood on the side and replied: "Jingxuan has just started, his skills are still shallow, and the hexagram of Bu is also ineffective, so he can't do a few things." ”

"So you really know how to divination!" Yuan Chengcheng felt that this was much more interesting than weaving incense or something, "Can you also count it for me?" ”
