Chapter 929: Fortune-teller Huang Huang Xuanzi, alarmist threats

For Qin Mu, naming a child was a grave matter.

His status was that of the Emperor of Great Qin.

What name to give the child was a matter of national importance.

It could never be done rashly.

"As for the naming, let's wait until the child is born and we have the birth date and time before deciding."

Suddenly, Wu Wu Wu Meiniang gave a start.

"Oh my, I almost forgot. Sister Fan told me that a fortune-teller recently arrived in the capital who is incredibly accurate! Should we invite him to calculate the fortune of the child in our bellies?"

A fortune-teller?

Qin Mu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had never believed in fortune-tellers.

Those who operated under such banners were usually either charlatans or people with ulterior motives.

One needed to be extra cautious with such people.

However, letting a fortune-teller amuse the two pregnant women and keep them happy was a form of diversion.

"Then have someone invite him in."

Upon hearing about the fortune-telling, Li Li Li Xueyan and Wu Wu Wu Meiniang were both very happy.

Moreover, they were extremely serious about this matter.

They even insisted on changing their clothes and applying scented powder.

Soon, a fortune-teller was invited into the palace.

Qin Mu took a glance at him.

He did not look very old, was dressed in Daoist robes, and his demeanor carried a hint of a master from beyond the mortal world.

"What is the Daoist's name?"

Qin Mu asked, appearing casual.

The Daoist did not seem overly nervous in front of Qin Mu and performed a one-handed salute.

"This poor Daoist is Huang Huang Xuanzi."

The name sounded very unfamiliar; one could not tell if it was his real name or a pseudonym.

Qin Mu did not pay much mind and let him begin.

He started with Li Li Li Xueyan.

Huang Huang Xuanzi, not daring to act presumptuously in the inner palace, asked Li Li Li Xueyan to write a character for character-analysis fortune-telling.

Li Li Li Xueyan picked up her brush and wrote the character "Spring," then had someone take it to Huang Huang Xuanzi.

Huang Huang Xuanzi took the character, pondered for a moment, and deciphered it.

Pointing at the character "Spring," he said:

"This character is 'Qin' pressing down on 'Sun'; when the sun rises, the grain vanishes."

The upper part of the character "Spring" is exactly the same as the upper part of the character "Qin." This is what is known as the "Qin head." The grain radical below the "Qin" character has disappeared, replaced by the character for "sun."

"This character was originally 'Qin', but the grain below is gone, portending a famine for Great Qin. This was calculated for the child in Lady Xue's belly; the birth of the Imperial Prince coincides with this omen." Huang Huang Xuanzi, while explaining, quickly waved his arm and wrote a 'grain' character on the side.

Hearing Huang Huang Xuanzi utter these shocking words,

Li Li Li Xueyan's face changed color instantly.

She did not want her child to bring disaster to Great Qin the moment they were born.

If that were truly the case, she feared it would displease her husband. ===== CHAPTER 931 =====
