PRECIOUS PRINCESS

SEVENTY FIVE

Xuan Lan, Wang Yu Yan and Jiang Yuan only smiled faintly. There was no way their father would do such a crazy thing just because of a trivial matter. They would choose to settle this matter properly with emperor Xiao so that he would not force his daughters to show their talent.

In the evening, the whole crowd gathered in the main hall to continue the peak night of the emperor's birthday. On this night the invited guests will give their gifts to emperor Xiao on his birthday. But before the gift-giving event takes place there will be a fortune teller who will predict the future of all members of the emperor's family who are on birthday.

The fortune teller started his prophecy from emperor Xiao. He held onto Emperor Xiao's hand as he closed his eyes.

"Sadness, voidness, guilt and regret will become one within you sooner or later" said the astrologer, looking into the future of emperor Xiao.

"If Zhen can tell, what does that mean?" emperor Xiao asked curiously plus his unpleasant feelings.

"Sorry, my majesty, I have made everything very clear, there is no enigma in the speech of the servant like the astrologer in general" the fortune teller said it was polite because he was the only astrologer who rarely ever puzzles his predictions if he was dealing directly with the emperors but if not the emperor he faced then he will give a riddle to the person he predicts.

He then turned to Empress Juan.

"Dark, red, fire rained all over the body" said the fortuneteller was slightly shaking.

"meaning?" ask the empress Juan confused.

"Can't" said the astrologer and then he moved to the side of the queen mother.

He clasped the hand of the queen mother and closed his eyes.

"Black dog" he said as he opened his eyes.

The queen mother looked confusedly at the fortune teller earlier. He wanted to ask his point but he paused because the answer would definitely be the same as the previous answer.

The fortuneteller turned towards the crown prince Xiao Gui.

"It will be difficult to go down is not possible" said the fortune teller then immediately moved to the other prince.

He stood in front of Prince Zhan and foretold his future.

"The mangrove tree, the red sea" he said then looked at Prince Zhan with meaning.

Prince Zhan was actually confused by that gaze but he ignored it. The fortuneteller then moved to Xiao Xi's seat. He held onto Xiao Xi's hand but then he let go of it again with a sudden shock that made Xiao Xi and the others jump in shock.

"I'm sorry" said the astrologer and held Xiao Xi's hand again.

"The passage is dark, it can't go back" he said then left just as he approached Xuan Lan.

He touched the hand and held it. His forehead creased as he began to close his eyes. Then he opened his eyes.

"Who are you?" tanyakanya.

"Xuan Lan" Xuan Lan said with a smile as she knew this clairvoyant couldn't possibly have predicted it.

"You are not from here" whispered the astrologer.

"Yes, you're right. Try telling this to emperor Xiao, I already said it but he doesn't believe it" Xuan Lan replied in a whisper.

"Can't, it's very dangerous if I say it here" whispered the astrologer again.

"Whatever" Xuan Lan said lazily then pulled his hand away.

People were puzzled as the fortune teller and Xuan Lan kept whispering and Xuan Lan released her hand from the clutch of the fortune teller all of a sudden. They wanted to know Xuan Lan's future but the clairvoyant was still silent.

"What about princess Xuan Lan's future?" ask emperor Xiao.

The fortuneteller turned his body to face emperor Xiao then lowered his head respectfully.

"Sorry emperor Xiao, it is not the intention of the servant to want to hide anything but the servant cannot say anything about princess Xuan Lan"

"Why?" ask emperor Xiao.

Xuan Lan had not expected that the clairvoyant would cover up his true identity to the people here. Why didn't he tell her he couldn't read Xuan Lan's future because he wasn't from this time? thought Xuan Lan back then.

But he again thought that if this fortune teller said he could not see Xuan Lan's future then he would no longer be trusted to be the fortune teller of emperors in the future.

But the truth is that the astrologer does not want to tell the truth is because this is still not the time. There will come a place where everyone knows that Xuan Lan is indeed not from this time.

The crowd looked disappointedly at Xuan Lan and the fortune teller who was keeping Xuan Lan's future a secret. Although later they do not know what the meaning of the prophecy is at least they can hear the puzzle.

After the divination event it was now the emperor Xiao's turn to receive gifts from the imperial guests. This birthday gift giving started from Zhong empire, Tang empire, Wang empire, Li empire and the last one was from Xiao empire itself.

Emperor Zhong rewarded some herbs that were useful for maintaining body immunity. He also gave red ginseng to emperor Xiao.

Emperor Tang of course gave some of the natural wealth that his land had in the form of a belt made of gold and there were some jewels and diamonds that became its decoration.

Emperor Wang presented a very good quality armor and of course was given a little diamond in a certain part. Wang Yu Yan then advanced on giving his gift to emperor Xiao.

"Since the emperor's uncle is the father of my best friend then I will give you a special gift" Wang Yu Yan said.

"really? What'sthat?" asked emperor Xiao curiously.

Wang Yu Yan then took out something from behind his hanfu. He gave an extremely rare pomegranate gem to emperor Xiao.

"This is a pomegranate gem?" ask emperor Xiao.

"Yes, it's special for emperor Xiao" Wang Yu Yan said with a sweet smile.

"Thank you for the princess gift" said emperor Xiao who was only replied by a nod by Wang Yu Yan.

Xuan Lan only looked at Wang Yu Yan lazily. Yu Yan even obtained that pomegranate gem from Xuan Lan's dimensional space. Wang Yu Yan then turned his head towards Xuan Lan and blinked one of his eyes while raising one of his thumbs.

Emperor Li gave a gift of a samurai sword that he got from his friend who came from Japan. The sword was indeed still unfamiliar if it was on their land.

It was time for the members of the Xiao imperial family to give their gifts to emperor Xiao.

Empress Juan gave the gift of a young herbal potion to emperor Xiao and did not forget the sweet words that came out of her mouth.

The crown prince gave a small dagger with a very beautiful carving to Emperor Xiao. The dagger can be kept under clothes and can be useful in case of an emergency.

Xiao Xi gave a gift in the form of a magic flute that she got from the auction place. He reached into a very deep pocket to get the flute.

Now it was Xuan Lan's turn to advance. He didn't even carry anything in his hands.

"Emperor Xiao" call Xuan Lan.

"I have nothing to give you because you know I have no money at all. But I will give you the most memorable gift for as long as you live in this world" Xuan Lan said with a smile.

"I know you want something here but they don't want to come here. I will grant it to you" Xuan Lan said with a mysterious smile.

Emperor Xiao looked at Xuan Lan who was speaking that was a little surprised. How would Xuan Lan know if she expected something to be present at her birthday party.

Xuan Lan's hands then united and made a sound.

prok

"Tiger!" said Xuan Lan.
