Married To The Cruel Crown Prince - Chapter 678

Sheng Li brought Ying Lili to the Hall where the Royal Astrologer was waiting for them. As they entered, the Royal Astrologer stood up from the chaise and bowed before them.

“Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress,” he said humbly.

Sheng Li made Ying Lili sit on the throne and then sat down. “Please have a seat, Royal Astrologer,” He gestured to the chaise. He stepped back and took the seat.

“Princess Zhu Lin has returned from the journey. Please suggest an auspicious day for her marriage with Prince Wanxi. Also, Princess Bai Yaling has agreed to remarriage. She is marrying General Wang,” Sheng Li explained to the Royal Astrologer.

“I need General Wang’s birth information and then accordingly I will decide the day, Your Majesty,” the Royal astrologer asked humbly.

“I remember the day when he’s born but I think for the marriage, the Royal Astrologer needs a perfect birth chart,” Sheng Li stated. He looked at Xing-Fu and ordered him to send the message to Wang Hao regarding the same.

“Royal Astrologer, please assess the marriage day for Prince Wanxi and Princess Zhu Lin. By then, Eunuch Xing-Fu will bring the birth chart of General Wang,” Ying Lili requested. The Royal astrologist nodded his head and took out the sheet of astronomical days from his cloth bag.

After fifteen minutes, the Royal Astrologer had made the calculation. “Your Majesty, there are two days which are best for the marriage of Prince Wanxi. One is after two days while the other is after one month. Among them, the most auspicious day is after one month,” he informed them.

Sheng Li glanced at Ying Lili, who asked the Royal Astrologer to tell about the differences in the two days.

“Yes, Your Majesty. If they get married after two days, then things will go well, but they can lack Yin-Yang energy in the future. In short, Princess Zhu Lin can have difficulty in conceiving in the future,” The Royal Astrologer explained to them.

“I also married the Empress on her birthday without looking at the days. So, I don’t think such factors should be taken into account. But then, sometimes predictions also turn right,” Sheng Li seemed confused.

“Royal Astrologer, Prince Lei Wanxi is eager about his marriage. If their marriage is delayed more, then it might annoy him. Could you please check the day in between these two days?” Sheng Li requested him.

“Your Majesty, it is only about a month. I believe that His Majesty shall go with the second date for the better and happy future of Prince Wanxi and Princess Zhu Lin,” the Royal Astrologer advised Sheng Li. He glanced at Ying Lili and asked her about it.

“Prince Wanxi can wait. Let’s go with the suggestion of the Royal Astrologer,” Ying Lili stated. Sheng Li acknowledged her decision and agreed with the day.

Sheng Li noticed that Ying Lili was yawning. “Court Lady Xu, please take the Empress to the chamber. She needs some rest,” Sheng Li commanded her.

“I am not tired. Let me–”

“You need sleep, Lili. It’s normal at this time. Go to the chamber. I will come soon,” Sheng Li proclaimed. Ying Lili could not argue with him as she yawned again. Court Lady Xu came forward and took Ying Lili with her.

After Ying Lili left, the Royal Astrologer asked Sheng Li, “there is another prediction I want to make. If His Majesty allows it, can I do that?”

“Sure!” Sheng Li permitted him.

“Since the Empress is pregnant, I studied Her Majesty’s birth chart once again. After studying it, I found one obstruction,” the Royal Astrologer said.

“Explain,” Sheng Li told him and got a little terrified.

“She might have some difficulty in the upcoming time. I predicted that after six months, the Empress will get more stressed,” the Royal Astrologer explained to Sheng Li.

Sheng Li never believed in predictions, but it terrified him. For Ying Lili, he believed in every superstition, every prediction, and every prayer.

“Is there a way to avoid this? I mean, I am doing my best to not give any stress to the Empress. I am keeping her at bay from the Court’s matter and even the Kingdom’s matters,” Sheng Li stated as he started to turn nervous.

“Your Majesty, it might be because of her pregnancy. Usually, women get stressed during that time. However, while making the prediction, I found that her stress level will be because of someone close to her,” the Royal Astrologer affirmed.

“It will not be a big problem, will it? Like any kind of attack?” He asked and knitted his brows together.

“I cannot see the future, Your Majesty. I can only predict things and make you aware of them. I wanted to tell His Majesty so that he will be cautious around the Empress. However, my predictions may get wrong too. There’s nothing concerning after that month. Things will go smoothly,” the Royal Astrologer started with a smile.

Sheng Li was relieved to hear that when Wang Hao entered the hall with Eunuch Xing-Fu. He greeted the Emperor first and then the Royal Astrologer.

“Wang Hao, the Royal Astrologer needs your birth chart. You need to bring it from your residence,” Sheng Li informed him.

“Your Majesty, I have brought it. I thought it would be needed today,” Wang Hao stated and went towards the Royal Astrologer. He took out the folded chart from his pocket and handed it to the Royal Astrologer.

Wang Hao took his seat and waited for the answer of the Royal Astrologer.

“General Wang Hao’s and Princess Bai Yaling’s stars match perfectly well. According to my calculations, they both can marry the following week on any day,” the Royal Astrologer informed them.

Sheng Li smiled and congratulated Wang Hao. “Discuss with your father about this,” Sheng Li opined.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Eunuch Xing-Fu took the birth chart from the Royal Astrologer and gave it back to Wang Hao.

“Your Majesty, I would like to deliver this good news to Princess Bai myself… if His Majesty allows,” Wang Hao said.

“Sure.. Tell the Princess about it,” Sheng Li said while smiling, but internally he was concerned about Ying Lili.
