[Fate] Medium to High Fortune [Palace] Dragon Palace
[Oracle Words] This is the image of a plum blossom taking the lead; matters should be delayed for good fortune.
[Explanation] A shot that misses the target, but not truly empty. Wait for spring, and the reward will come.
[Divine Insight] This oracle indicates that family and home are not prosperous, but personal virtue brings blessings. Seek wealth cautiously, wait for the right time for transactions, marriage will be delayed, travelers will arrive late, children in spring are strong while those in autumn are weak, people can be found, livestock and crops are prosperous, litigation results in loss, lost items are in the east, illness involves false alarms, and burial sites should be changed.
[Interpretation] Like a plum tree at the top of a mountain in severe winter, it endures wind, frost, and snow but stands firm. Knowing that spring is coming soon, it will once again be the king of flowers, unmatched by any. A missed shot is not truly empty; what appears not to be a scene contains hidden messages. This oracle represents the image of a plum blossom leading the way, and matters should be handled calmly for good fortune. This sign is the image of a plum blossom taking the lead, and matters should be handled with calmness for good fortune. Winter solstice. The plum on the mountain, though its leaves have fallen and its roots are withered, still stands proudly against the cold, casting a faint shadow and emitting a fragrant aroma, announcing the arrival of spring. Your years of hardship will surely be rewarded. To rise above the difficulties means to believe in your destiny. A missed shot is not truly empty; what seems not to be a scene holds the message. This oracle suggests the meaning of "clearing one's name after being wronged." It implies that the person involved should not be too pessimistic. When time is not on their side, the mindset tends to be negative, and if misunderstood by others, it's like eating bitter medicine in silence. Looking at the story of Cheng Ying hiding the orphan to save Zhao, he endured humiliation and burden for over a decade, even bearing an unjust reputation, just to ensure the survival of the loyal minister's descendant. Such noble spirit is rare today. In comparison, your current misfortune is only temporary. Why should you despair? As long as you remain upright and have no regrets before heaven and earth, believe that there will be a time when your luck turns and your innocence is restored.
[Historical Story] During the Tang Dynasty, Mei Bei Gao was killed by the corrupt chancellor Lu Qi, and his son Mei Liangyu was rescued and renamed Wang Xitong, living in Chen Risheng's home. Mei Bei Gao was a close friend of Chen Risheng. One day, when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, Chen Gong used the plum blossoms to pay tribute to Mei Gong, praying that one day Mei Gong's descendants would become successful and avenge their father. That night, all the plum blossoms were blown away by wind and rain. Chen Gong, his daughter Chen Xingyuan, and Liangyu then prayed to heaven for another bloom of plum blossoms. Their sincere prayers moved heaven, and on the third day, the entire garden was filled with blooming plum blossoms, fragrant and beautiful. The story of "The Second Bloom of Plum" became a classic tale. Later, Mei Liangyu passed the imperial examination and became a top scholar. After many hardships, he finally married Chen Xingyuan.

Story of the Oracle Poem One
◇ The Second Bloom of Plum
During the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, the loyal minister Mei Beigao and his family were framed by the corrupt chancellor Lu Qi and were to be executed. Only his son Mei Liangyu managed to escape. Later, he changed his name to Wang Xitong to hide his identity. He wandered alone on the streets, suffering from hunger and cold, and was eventually taken in by Chen Risheng (Chen Dongchu). Chen Risheng did not know his background and had him help manage the plum garden at Chen's estate so he would not starve on the street.
Chen Risheng was a close friend of Mei Beigao. At the time, when Mei Beigao saved Chen Risheng from Lu Qi's persecution, it led to a grudge between them, which eventually resulted in the execution of Mei Beigao's entire family. Chen Risheng was thus filled with sorrow and anger and resigned from his position, retreating to Yangzhou with his family.
Chen Risheng had a daughter named Chen Xingyuan, who was beautiful and graceful. After Mei Liangyu arrived at Chen's home, the two fell in love at first sight. On a day when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, also the anniversary of Mei Beigao's death, Chen Risheng and his family held a ceremony in their plum garden to honor their deceased friend and benefactor. Suddenly, the weather changed dramatically, with strong winds and snow, destroying all the plum blossoms. Chen Risheng felt that although he had survived, he could not save Mei Beigao's descendants, believing it was a warning from heaven. He vowed that unless the plum blossoms bloomed again, proving that Mei Beigao's descendants were still alive, he would enter a monastery and become a monk.
His daughter, Chen Xingyuan, heard this and immediately offered incense, sincerely praying to heaven for the plum blossoms to bloom again. Their sincerity moved heaven, and all the plum trees in the garden bloomed again. Later, Chen Risheng learned that Wang Xitong was actually Mei Liangyu, and he gave his daughter Xingyuan in marriage to him.
Story of the Oracle Poem Two
◇ Cheng Ying Hides the Orphan to Save Zhao
(Annotation: Cheng Ying hides Zhao Shuo’s unborn son to ensure his survival in Zhao State)
In 597 BC, the chief official Tu Anjia of Jin State accused Zhao Dun of participating in the killing of Duke Ling of Jin and, without consulting the Duke Jing of Jin, gathered his generals to attack the Zhao clan at Xia Palace, killing Zhao Shuo, Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Yingqi, exterminating the entire Zhao clan.
Zhao Shuo's wife, Zhao Zhuangji, was the sister of Duke Cheng of Jin, and she was pregnant with Zhao Shuo's child. She fled to the palace of Duke Cheng to hide. Zhao Shuo's guest, Gong Sun Chuju, asked Cheng Ying: "Why haven't you died?" Cheng Ying replied: "Zhao Shuo's wife is pregnant. If she gives birth to a boy, I will raise him; if a girl, I will die later." Not long after, Zhao Zhuangji gave birth to a boy. Tu Anjia heard the news and searched the palace, but failed to find the baby.
After temporarily escaping danger, Cheng Ying said to Gong Sun Chuju: "This time we escaped, but they will definitely come back. What should we do?"
Gong Sun Chuju asked Cheng Ying: "Which is harder, raising the orphan or dying?"
Cheng Ying said: "Dying is easy, raising the orphan is hard."
Gong Sun Chuju then said: "The Zhao clan treated you kindly. You should do the hard thing; I will do the easy one and die first!"
Cheng Ying and Gong Sun Chuju then obtained another man's infant, wrapped it in fine cloth, and hid it in the mountains. Cheng Ying went out of the mountains, pretending to inform the generals: "I am not worthy, I cannot raise Zhao's orphan. Who can give me a thousand gold pieces, and I will tell you where the Zhao orphan is."
The generals were very happy and agreed, sending soldiers to follow him to kill Gong Sun Chuju.
Gong Sun Chuju pretended to be angry and said: "Cheng Ying, you are a petty person! Earlier, when the palace was attacked, you didn’t die, and now you conspired to hide Zhao’s orphan. Now you betray me. Even if you cannot raise the orphan, how can you bear to betray him!"
Gong Sun Chuju held the baby and cried out loudly: "Heaven, Heaven! What crime has Zhao’s orphan committed? Let him live, and kill me, Gong Sun Chuju instead!"
The generals refused, and killed Gong Sun Chuju and the orphan.
(This story summarizes: Cheng Ying ensured the safety of the orphan once again.)
Master's Oracle Interpretation Case:
Case One:
Master, please look at my current marriage—will it continue or end? If it ends, when will it end? Thank you!
Master's Oracle Interpretation: From the current situation, your marriage has some challenges. The oracle implies a second marriage, symbolizing that there will be a result next spring.

Master's Oracle Interpretation: From the surface meaning of the oracle, you and your boyfriend are currently in a state of endless separation—neither fully separated nor completely together. This oracle mainly tells you not to be anxious. Let the man say or do whatever he wants, but as long as he hasn’t done anything extreme, don’t interfere too much. Wait until the time comes, and he will return to your side naturally. It’s like what belongs to you will return to you, and no one can steal it.

My husband has a mistress, and I don’t know what to do now. My child is only a few months old. I’m asking whether I should give up this marriage, and whether it's worth saving. I drew the 69th oracle, and I don’t know how to interpret it.
Master's Oracle Interpretation: For the sake of the family, believe you can endure this difficult time. Wait for the joy of the "Double Blossoming Plum." Also, dear sister, believe in your own abilities. The child is still young, communicate more with him, and strive for your child's sake. The child is innocent!
Oracle 69 case six: Please help me interpret the oracle, the 69th oracle of Guanyin. Ask about career.

Master's Oracle Interpretation: With the support and recommendation of a benefactor, your career will develop greatly.
Case Four:
My boyfriend left yesterday after a fight, but when I asked him whether it was a breakup or just a temporary separation, he didn't answer and told me to think for myself.
Today, I cast the oracle to ask about our future, and I got the 69th oracle of Guanyin, "Double Blossoming Plum." Please help me see what our future result will be, and what should I do?
Netizen's Oracle Interpretation: You've even used the method of casting the oracle.
It shows how much you care about your future.
It shows how much you love him...
Don't believe these oracle words.
You and him should have an open conversation...
Be honest with each other... and you will be together.
