The trust of his precious daughter was like a mountain pressing on the heart of Marquis Nanyang, heavy and heavy.
Seeing his precious daughter's expectant eyes, Marquis Nanyang could only abandon his original plan. It wasn't like he was going to do anything against the law, as long as his precious daughter was happy.
"Okay, I'll leave this to Dad!"
Tang Cheng nodded happily. Suddenly, she thought of something. People here seemed to be very superstitious. When exchanging engagement letters, they would match people's horoscopes. They believed in Taoism, Buddhism, ghosts and gods.
"Dad, when I was getting engaged to Prince Wen and exchanging engagement letters, did I ask a master to read my fortune?"
Marquis Nanyang didn't know why his daughter suddenly turned to this matter, but he still told Tang Cheng.
"No, when you broke the news of your pregnancy, the Duke of Zhenguo was so happy that he didn't even bother to ask a fortune teller to match your horoscope. Even if your horoscopes weren't compatible, Prince Wen would still carry you into the family in a sedan chair."
As for the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, she herself did not like Tang Cheng, so it was impossible for her to go through the horoscope matching process.
What happened next was even more unexpected. The engagement was cancelled just ten days after it was set, causing a huge uproar in the city.
The marriage matching for fortune telling has come to nothing.
"It turns out that she has never had her fortune read. Great, Dad, you can secretly find a famous monk to read your daughter's fortune. If it is a fortune of many children and good fortune, you can have someone expose it and build momentum for your daughter."
"If not, it must be that the master is just a name. I will find a wandering Taoist priest and give him some money to make a fortune according to my wishes and spread it."
"In short, it is to shape me into someone who can give birth and have many children in the future."
Tang Cheng felt that although there was no fertility value here, the inheritance of offspring was equally important.
She is fertile.
It must be a destiny of having many children and great fortune.
So it is not false advertising and its credibility is guaranteed.
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
He was simply stunned by his daughter's sudden and amazing move.
"Ahem, Cheng'er, even if it's revealed that you are destined to be extremely wealthy and blessed with good fortune, it's still better than having many children and good luck."
Many children bring blessings...
This is no joke. If any girl dares to spread such rumors, it will easily backfire.
Tang Cheng is full of confidence.
"Dad, don't worry. My daughter never makes false claims. I can always give birth to eight or ten children."
The corners of Nanyang Hou's mouth twitched: "..."
No, he is not at all reassured. This is not a question of false advertising.
Ten or eight people think they can have a baby just by saying it, but it is not something that can be accomplished by just talking about it.
Marquis Nanyang was worried.
"Cheng'er, let's take a long-term view on this matter of fortune-telling, okay?"
Tang Cheng frowned.
"No, Dad, we really can't wait for the long haul. We have to get it done as soon as possible. I want to hold a grand blind date party."
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
In the end, the doting Marquis of Nanyang could not persuade his precious daughter to agree. He thought of various countermeasures in his mind and was really worried.
Fortunately, he is now in good health and will have no problem living for another few decades.
Otherwise, what will happen if no one protects Cheng'er in the future
Neither the legitimate son nor the illegitimate son is close to Cheng'er, so Cheng'er can only rely on him as his father.
Tang Cheng didn't know that Marquis Nanyang was worried about her future. She was just happy that her father, the Marquis, had agreed to build momentum for her.
…
Nanyang Marquis kept his word and the next day he asked his confidant to secretly go to the most famous temple in the capital to find Master Huiming, who was well versed in numerology, to predict Tang Cheng's fortune.
At noon, Marquis Nanyang was still thinking about the fortune-telling. After leaving the court, he hurried back home. His confidant told him the result of the master's fortune-telling in the study.
"My Lord, the master said that the fourth young lady is destined to have many children, a noble husband and sons, and a smooth and happy life."
When Marquis Nanyang heard that his precious daughter's fate was predicted to be so good, he heaved a sigh of relief and looked very happy. However, when he saw his confidant's hesitant look after he finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.
"Did the Master say anything else?"
"The master also said... he also said that the owner of this horoscope will not live long and will not be able to enjoy the blessing of having children and grandchildren."
The confidant gritted his teeth and said the final comments.
The study room fell into silence in an instant. The atmosphere was faintly depressing and no one dared to breathe.
If Liu Jintong were here, he would definitely be shocked. Tang Cheng's fate in his previous life was exactly as the master had predicted.
After a while, a light suddenly flashed in the mind of Nanyang Hou, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face.
The emperor, he, Prince Wen and his precious daughter have all used body-strengthening potions. A few days ago, he met the director of the Imperial Observatory, who looked at his face again and again, showing a look of surprise and saying that he could not have the face of a healthy and long-lived person, and asked him if he had asked a master to change his fate.
The magic of the strengthening potion is beyond imagination.
Maybe it can really change your destiny.
Maybe things weren't as bad as he thought.
My precious daughter will live a long life.
Thinking of this, Nanyang Hou's face suddenly turned from gloomy to bright. He hurried to the Peony Garden to tell Master Tang Cheng the result of the fortune-telling, concealing the bad comment that he would not live long and would not be able to enjoy the blessings of descendants.
Tang Cheng was very happy.
I thought to myself that this master had hit upon something unexpected. With a physique that is easy to conceive, wouldn't he be able to have many children
"Dad, what is the name of this master?"
Tang Cheng couldn't help but ask the master's name, and planned to remember his name in his heart.
I thought that I could ask this great master for help if I had any problems in the future.
Nanyang Hou smiled and replied: "The master is a high-ranking monk, and his Buddhist name is Huiming."
"So it's Master Huiming. As soon as I heard his name, I knew he was a real talent!"
Tang Cheng praised generously.
Nanyang Marquis: “…”
With Master Huiming's fortune-telling as a foundation, Tang Cheng became more confident.
She looked through the list and found that the candidates for husbands carefully selected by her father were all handsome and tall, regardless of their family background, which was very much in line with her aesthetic standards.
Among them were Wen Huaian and Prince Rong.
What surprised Tang Cheng was that there were also the son of Dingbei Marquis Su Jingxing and the eldest son of Duke Qi’s mansion Qi Changxiu…
"Dad, please cross out the son of Dingbei Marquis and the eldest young master of Qiguo Mansion from the list. These two people have no interest in me, and I don't want to lose these two friends."
Nanyang Hou smiled.
"Cheng'er, don't worry. Dad asked them what they thought. They said they just wanted to join in the fun and help you build momentum."
Tang Cheng's eyes lit up, and his favorability towards Su Jingxing and Qi Changxiu soared.
"This is a true friend!"
Nanyang Hou is a joke.
Why does my baby daughter have such a strange definition of friend
However, with them, Prince Wen and Prince Rong, this blind date party should attract a lot of attention and will not become a joke.
"Dad, when you announce the list, please remember to pass on my comments on my fate."
Tang Cheng continued happily.
This opportunity is rare, so if you want to play, play big.
Marquis Nanyang agreed, and after he met Master Huiming in person, he quickly announced the list.
When the list of potential sons-in-law for Marquis Nanyang and Tang Cheng's comments on their horoscopes came out, the entire capital was in an uproar, and even the emperor was alarmed.
All the men on the list became famous overnight and their names became famous. All their information was dug out. The unmarried men who were not on the list secretly felt lucky not to be chosen by the Marquis of Nanyang, but at the same time they felt jealous.
The old-fashioned people criticized Tang Cheng for being heretical, morally corrupt, and a disgrace to women. One censor even wrote a letter to impeach the Marquis of Nanyang for his poor parenting of his daughter.
Of course, there are also many people who admire and envy Tang Cheng and speak up for her.
All in all, Tang Cheng's reputation is mixed.
Jian'an Earl's Mansion
Liu Jintong's face darkened when he learned of all the names on Nanyang Marquis's list of sons-in-law. Nanyang Marquis's vision was indeed sharp. Even though most of the people on this list are not prominent now, they will have smooth careers and rise to the top in the future.
No matter who Tang Cheng marries, she will be blessed with wealth and glory in the future.
What's even worse is that a small number of the people on this list are people she has already contacted and was planning to win over. Now, because of Tang Cheng, they have become famous and are attracting much attention.
There is no shortage of visionary mentors in this world. Once these dormant or currently oppressed people become famous, will they still need her help
Liu Jintong almost vomited blood from anger.
Tang Cheng is simply her nemesis. Every time he does something stupid, he always inadvertently ruins her plans.
This is really too much.
But she was helpless against Tang Cheng.
Even if she has thousands of plans in mind, it will be useless if the enemy doesn't fall into her trap.
However, this time Tang Cheng slapped Master Wen hard in the face, and Liu Jintong was secretly looking forward to the reaction of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Royal Palace
Today, the emperor rarely put down his imperial pen and chatted with Eunuch Fu about Tang Cheng in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, this Fourth Miss Tang is really troublesome. She even planned to hold a blind date party similar to a talent show. Marquis Nanyang also followed her and was even impeached by the Censor." Eunuch Fu sighed.
The emperor snorted coldly.
"These censors are increasingly not doing their jobs properly. They don't keep an eye on what they should be keeping an eye on, but are actively watching what they shouldn't be keeping an eye on."
Eunuch Fu: “…”
The emperor changed the subject and turned to Tang Cheng's fate.
"Eunuch Fu, do you think this prediction about Tang Si's fate is true?"
The offspring are numerous, the husband is honorable and the sons are noble.
What a good life.
It is much better than any panacea saying that brings good fortune, wealth and longevity. It can not only bring prosperity to the husband's family, but also help the family to expand.
Eunuch Fu said, "It should be true. I heard that it was Master Huiming who predicted this."
The emperor had an idea.
"Eunuch Fu, doesn't Tang Si like Xiao Si? Do you think it's okay for me to grant them a marriage?"
It's not that there are no women in Xiao Si's backyard, but he still has no children. Although it's because Xiao Si is not interested in women, the fact that none of the women are pregnant makes the emperor very worried.
It's obvious that there's nothing wrong with Xiaosi's health.
Eunuch Fu was shocked. He wondered if the emperor had forgotten that Fourth Miss Tang had a bad reputation and had lost her virginity, so how could she possibly marry into the royal family.
If she becomes a concubine, Marquis Nanyang will definitely not be willing to let her go.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Miss Tang is the daughter-in-law chosen by the Duke of Zhenguo."
"Moreover, the Fourth Prince was not on the list of potential sons-in-law for the Marquis of Nanyang, and Fourth Miss Tang also rejected your marriage proposal at the beginning, which shows that Fourth Miss Tang has let go of the Fourth Prince."
So Your Majesty, you'd better give up!
This is what Eunuch Fu meant.
emperor:"… "
When the emperor heard Eunuch Fu mention the Duke of Zhenguo, he felt a surge of guilt and gave up the idea of arranging a marriage for his fourth son.
"Since Tang Si has no intention of marrying into the royal family, I will not join in the fun."
"It would have been great if Tang Si's plan for Xiao Si had not been thwarted and turned out well."
The emperor looked regretful.
Eunuch Fu: “…”
…
Tang Cheng had staged such a big drama that even the emperor was alarmed. Of course, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was far away in the nunnery, also heard about it. Unfortunately, she could not leave the nunnery and could only send someone to deliver a letter to her son.
Not to mention the highly-watched Duke Zhenguo Mansion.
Everyone in the capital knows that Prince Wen intends to marry Fourth Miss Tang. Now that Fourth Miss Tang has done this, it is simply a slap in the face of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Everyone was waiting for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to take action.
