Chapter 15 Fortune Telling
Princess Changle twisted her body playfully, showing off her new outfit with a proud look on her face, as if to say, "Your Majesty, what do you think of my outfit?"

Empress Changsun couldn't help laughing and tapped her forehead gently, "Oh, my little princess, is the fortune teller you mentioned really as amazing as you said?"

"Of course, mother, is there any need to say this? Alas, it's a pity that I missed it when I went out of the palace with my father last time, otherwise I would definitely bring you a wonderful story!"

As Princess Changle spoke, she stamped her feet in pretend annoyance, which made the Queen laugh even more.

"Now that you mention it, I really want to meet this expert." A hint of curiosity flashed in Empress Changsun's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Princess Changle's eyes lit up, and she smiled slyly like a little fox. She suddenly came forward, took the queen's arm, and shook it gently: "Mother, are you also moved?"

Empress Changsun was amused by her and gently stroked her hair. "You clever girl, well, go change into some plain clothes and let's go out of the palace."

After hearing this, Princess Changle was so excited that she ran towards the Lizheng Hall like a pony running free from its reins.

Looking at her cheerful back, Empress Chang Sun couldn't help but reveal deep fondness in her eyes, but in a flash, a trace of imperceptible contemplation flashed across her.

At this moment of infinite beauty, the sky is full of sunset glow, as if a paint box has been overturned, so gorgeous.

If there were someone present at this time, they might have heard Empress Chang Sun muttering to herself: "This child is really a cause for concern." But her tone was full of warm tolerance.

The night ban in the Tang Dynasty was like an iron rule. After the sun went down, no one was allowed to wander the streets. At this time, on Zhuque Street, the vendors were like ducks being driven away, and they hurriedly packed up their things and went home.

The only one who was acting unusual today was Luo Xiu. He was lazily lying on the chair, as if he was waiting for something.

"Hey, Xu Luo, what are you still dawdling about? The sun is about to set, and once the city gates are closed, you'll have to spend the night here!" The young man selling vegetables next door couldn't help but remind him when he saw his expression.

Xu Luo just opened one eye and said with a smile: "I have a distinguished guest coming today, wait for him!"

"Distinguished guest?" The young man looked around and wondered in his heart. At this time, even cats and dogs have gone home to find nests, so where did the distinguished guest come from?

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of people came from the east end of Zhuque Street. Leading the group was a mother and daughter with elegant temperament, followed by several servants, looking very impressive.

The girl walked to Xu Luo's stall, her eyes moving, a smile on her lips, and she said softly to her mother: "Mom, it's him, the fortune teller."

The young woman spoke softly, and when she pointed at Xu Luo, her fingers were as smooth as jade, and she lightly picked at him, as if inadvertently revealing a hint of temptation.

Her eyes were deep, as if they could see through people's hearts. Her lips were slightly parted, her nose was slightly hazy, and her chest rose and fell slightly with her soft steps. Her casual charm made people unable to help but take a few more glances.

The woman looked Xu Luo up and down with her eyes moving, secretly surprised that this fortune-teller had such a youthful look.

She laughed in her heart. Things in this world always like to play tricks on people. In her impression, which fortune teller is not old and toothless, or has a weird disability?
But the person in front of her was like a piece of tender tofu basking in the sun, which made her a little surprised.

"Sir, how come you are so young?" the woman blurted out. Before she finished her words, Xu Luo opened his eyes, jumped up from the recliner like a magic trick, walked in front of her, bowed to the ground, and was very polite.

"Today's unusual celestial phenomena indicate that a distinguished guest is coming. I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Xu Luo's words startled the woman. She looked at him in surprise, then smiled softly with her hands covering her lips: "Sir, you are really an expert. You have already calculated my mother and I's trip today clearly?"

Xu Luo nodded slightly, turned around and sat down, and said calmly: "The magpie announces good news, and the colorful clouds are auspicious. This is a sign of a noble person."

The woman was Empress Changsun. She smiled and nodded when she heard what was said, and sat down gracefully. She had a graceful figure and a slender waist, like a willow branch in the spring breeze, soft and full of temptation.

Empress Changsun listened to the conversation between her daughter and Xu Luo, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

Her gaze was like a gentle spring breeze, gently caressing Princess Changle's face. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Her lips curled up slightly, showing her satisfaction with these words.

Empress Changsun could not hold back her curiosity and decided to go see the famous fortune teller Xu Luo. As she walked, she wondered if this fortune teller was really as magical as her family and daughter said.

As soon as she arrived at Xu Luo's residence, she encountered a small accident, which surprised and delighted her, and increased her anticipation for the meeting.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Luo smiled and said, "Empress, what can I ask you?"

Before he finished speaking, Princess Changle rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Sir, please help me see when I can get married? And what kind of person will my future husband be?"

This question made Xu Luo and Empress Changsun stunned.

Empress Changsun frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Princess, please don't be rude. Mother is talking to the master."

Princess Changle stuck out her tongue when she heard this and quickly stepped aside. However, Xu Luo smiled tolerantly and waved his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, don't mind. Since the princess is concerned about marriage, I will tell her a fortune."

After hearing this, Princess Changle's face suddenly broke into a bright smile.

Empress Changsun did not stop him. The real purpose of her trip was to personally verify Xu Luo's ability. Princess Changle, as the emperor's eldest daughter, was born with bright eyes, white teeth, cherry lips, and skin whiter than snow. Her fate naturally touched the hearts of countless people.

At this time, Princess Changle bit her lower lip gently, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, that look would soften even a heart of stone. And Empress Changsun's eyes were deep, her heart was full of curiosity and exploration about the fortune teller's ability.

Princess Changle's mother, Empress Changsun, had her own plans in mind. She wanted to test Xu Luo's true ability, and at the same time, she also wanted to see the quality of this future son-in-law.

After all, how could a princess's marriage be sloppy? She thought to herself, but a smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of her mouth.

"What kind of person will my daughter marry in the future?"

As she thought this in her mind, her eyes never left Xu Luo. She wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at him.

Different from the daughters of ordinary people, the princess's consort must have extraordinary qualities. And all of this is based on the fact that Xu Luo knows nothing about the true identity of Princess Changle.

Xu Luo pinched his fingers gently, and after a moment, he raised his head, his eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Princess Changle. His face was slightly gloomy, and he shook his head slowly: "Miss, you are of noble status and destined to be rich, but it's a pity... your marriage is unfortunate."
