The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 76 - Clever Solution

"This is not difficult."

As he spoke, he calculated on his fingers for a moment and then said firmly.

"We just need to move the consorts to a place near water. Additionally, if His Majesty can give them more attention, the situation can be resolved quickly."

"Yes, I remember when my birth chart was calculated, a master said that I have a water destiny."

Using water to nourish wood is indeed a good method.

Jin Shixi bowed even lower, showing his agreement with these words.

Having received the answer the emperor wanted, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"In that case, let's make other arrangements. Dong Yuzhong, move my sleeping quarter to the Qiqing Hall in Zeping, where the water veins of the palace are located. With me stationed there, the people in the harem will surely be relieved."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Jin Shixi understood.

His guess was indeed correct.

The emperor's sudden summons must be for an important inquiry.

But why would he bring along an eighth-rank official?

So, it must be related to the Lin family!

As someone favored by the emperor, besides having real skills, one must also know what the emperor wants to hear at the moment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been promoted to the position of Director of the Imperial Observatory at such a young age.

In the past, the Directors were mostly elderly men.

As long as it wasn't against his conscience or harmful to the court, there were always ways to explain the mysterious celestial phenomena.

Among those present, only Lin Guangzu was still confused.

He had entered the court at an old age, and the difference between him and the favored Director of the Imperial Observatory was indeed great.

Since the official matters were finished, it was time to discuss private matters.

So the emperor kept Lin Guangzu alone, while Jin Shixi was personally escorted out by Dong Yuzhong.

Once outside the  Qinxian Hall, Jin Shixi smiled at Dong Yuzhong and said.

"Thank you for your guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to predict this!"

"Master Jin, you're too kind. I just made a casual remark. If you ask me, it's because you are perceptive."

These words made Jin Shixi feel a bit embarrassed.

"Thank you for your hard work serving His Majesty. I have some new tea from my hometown that is very refreshing. I'll have someone send it to you when I return."

"Master Jin, you're too kind. I'll boldly accept it then."

The two exchanged smiles, understanding each other without words.

In the Qinxian Hall, Lin Guangzu faced the emperor alone, and it was a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

Especially with the mention of the harem just now.

Lin Guangzu felt it must be related to his daughter.

He wanted to ask but didn't know how to start.

The emperor broke the silence first and said to Lin Guangzu.
