Chapter 108: Husband and wife swear peach wood as evidence
On this day, a banquet was held in the palace hall to celebrate the housewarming.
Hou Yi was promoted to a prince, and his clothes were changed, only to see him wearing a crown of gold hoops and feathers on his head, a brocade red robe on his body, and high boots inlaid with gold on his feet, handsome and mighty, domineering and leaking, and there was no longer the image of the rugged and bold Orion in the mountains and wilderness in the past. Chang'e is also considered to be the lady of the fate, dressed in a costume and embroidered dress to attend, with her temples high and her steps swaying, making her more and more beautiful and moving.
The husband and wife sat side by side on the main hall, jeweled, luxurious and elegant, as if they were born to come, and the courtiers such as Han Xun and Fengmeng under the great hall were all in awe.
For a while, the bell music sounded, and the banquet began.
All the courtiers got up to toast and congratulate, Hou Yi and his wife saluted one by one, and the hall was filled with joyful laughter.
After several rounds of wine, Han Xun ordered Gong E to enter the palace to dance and cheer up.
It was spring in March, the weather was warm, the palace ladies were wearing short tight clothes, bare/legs, bare/abdomen, exposed/shoulders, the whole hall was full of white and fragrant graceful figures, a turn and a turn, a jump and a jump, all fragrant and glamorous, beautiful and delicious, attracting everyone to applaud and cheer.
As soon as Hou Yi came to the spring breeze and was slightly drunk, he couldn't help but bone-eyed, looking at the figure of this little Gong'e, and the face of the little Gong'e, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the original nature of the man.
Chang'e saw it in her eyes and felt very unhappy, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of everyone for a while.
Han Xun observed Hou Yi's interest, and hurriedly applauded three times, signaling the two palace leaders to come to the palace to give Hou Yi a wine to cheer up.
Therefore, the two of them walked to Hou Yi's side with a smile and a fluttering smile, kneeling at the desk, one pouring wine, with autumn water in their eyes, their eyebrows conveying spring love, and their demeanor was very enchanting.
Hou Yi was not intoxicated, he ate three times in a row, and shouted that it was good, refreshing!
Chang'e couldn't hold back her jealousy any longer, waved her sleeves and brushed off the wine cup on the desk, got up and ran away from the banquet.
Hou Yi was stunned for a moment at first, and then understood that he was drunk and gaffe, which made Chang'e angry, and hurriedly got up, and hurriedly chased out of the hall without regard for dignity.
Han Xun patted the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and was very disappointed, drank off the two palace leaders, and hurriedly disbanded the banquet.
Chang'e held the hem of the embroidered dress with her left hand, wiped the tears with her right hand, and ran out of the palace with her small feet all the way.
Hou Yi drunkenly followed after him: "E'er! E'er...... You...... What's going on with you?"
Chang'e turned a deaf ear, and trotted straight to the dormitory Zhao Peach Palace, only to pass through a palace wall and moon gate, passing under a big peach tree, and suddenly kicked a soft stepping thing under her feet, bluffing her heart, looking down, she couldn't help but scream "Ah!"
"E'er, E'er...... What's wrong with you?" Hou Yi caught up and took the disgraced Chang'e in his arms.
"That'...... There. Chang'e hid herself, hunched her shoulders, and pointed to the grass in front of her tremblingly.
But when I saw the peach blossoms falling on the stone path, there was a huge toad squatting, with red spots, black bumps, numbness, and leprosy, which was extremely ugly.
Hou Yi saw it clearly, became furious, and roared at the toad: "Ugly thing, dare to scare my E'er, don't get out quickly!"
The toad was kicked out by Chang'e, and was frightened by himself, lying on the grass and not daring to move, and at this time, he was roared by Hou Yi again, and was so frightened that he jumped up violently, jumped up a few times, and hid under the stump of the big peach tree.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a rotten toad, I've driven it away. ”
"Who wants you to meddle with things?" Chang'e came back to her senses and suddenly pushed Hou Yi away, remembering that she was still angry.
"E'er, don't be angry, it's not good to blame me, I'm a little ...... when I drink too much wine I can't control myself. Hou Yi took Chang'e in his arms again, and said warmly, "E'er, didn't you say: If either of us is angry, we must say it, and we can't hide it in our hearts, lest we get sick." ”
"I don't have much to say!"
"E'er, if you don't say it, I also know that I shouldn't look at those palace laves, and I won't look at them in the future. ”
"It's not that I don't want you to look at those palace laves, I'm afraid that you will be distracted after you see too much. Chang'e suddenly said quietly, "Do you remember that on the laurel slope of Hunting Mountain, you once said that you only love me for the rest of your life, and I also said that I will only love you for the rest of my life." ”
It turned out that when Hou Yi married Chang'e, he made a vow under the osmanthus tree at the southern foot of Lieshan Mountain in his hometown: they will only love each other for the rest of their lives. Later generations have legends that Hou Yi and Chang'e created a precedent for monogamy, which is why they created a precedent.
Therefore, Hou Yi replied affectionately: "Of course I remember, I haven't forgotten it for a moment." ”
Chang'e still said sadly: "The so-called 'that time, this time', you used to be just an ordinary hunter A Niu who hunted in the mountains, but now you are the Marquis of Sun Yi who kills harm for the people, this identity is very different from before." Listen to the old people: After this man is powerful and powerful, he can't resist the temptation of all kinds of fame, fortune and beauty, and he will slowly turn bad. Seeing you like this today, I really regret letting you shoot the sun in the first place. ”
"E'er, don't worry, I will never be bad, I will only love you E'er for the rest of my life. ”
"Alas...... Mulberry fields will turn into the sea, maggots will turn into moths, let alone people?" Chang'e sighed sadly.
"Could it be that E'er doubts me and doesn't believe me?" Hou Yi said abruptly, "I have earned such a big fortune for E'er now, why is E'er unhappy?"
"Maybe my Chang'e is the life of the poor, I can't enjoy the richness, compared to the life in this palace, I still prefer the light days in the mountains. ”
"Don't say that, E'er, if you don't believe me and doubt me, I can swear. When Hou Yi saw Chang'e's melancholy appearance, he felt pity in his heart, but there was no way to comfort him, so he thought of swearing to prove his sincerity.
He looked around, looking for the testimony of the oath, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the big peach tree hidden above his head, so he grabbed Chang'e's right hand and pressed it on his chest, raised his right hand, and swore seriously, "I-Yi! I will only love Chang'e alone in my life, and if I break my oath, I will die under this peach tree. ”
Suddenly, seeing Hou Yi make a heavy oath, Chang'e was caught off guard, and hurriedly pulled out her right hand, covered his lips, and reproached softly: "I didn't ask you to swear, why did you swear such a heavy oath?"
Hou Yi said warmly: "I'm afraid that E'er will be unhappy, so I can only swear to comfort E'er." ”
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you and forced you to swear so much. Chang'e was moved by Hou Yi's oath, but felt a little guilty.
"It's okay, I won't break my oath, and I won't die under this peach tree. ”
"Well, I trust you and won't doubt you anymore. Chang'e snuggled gently in Hou Yi's arms, as if she was comforting Hou Yi and herself, "Since you have made such a heavy oath to show your heart, then I will also make an oath today to show my heart." From then on, we loved each other, and no one was allowed to make anyone unhappy. ”
"E'er, there is a god in the head of the head, and the oath cannot be issued casually, I think you can forget it. ”
"I don't! I want to send it!" Chang'e coquettishly said.
"Good, good...... Whatever you want...... Swear by yourself, but don't take it seriously. ”
"I'm going to take it seriously. Chang'e said more seriously, solemnly raised her right hand and swore an oath, "My Chang'e only loves Ah Yi in my life, and I believe that Ah Yi only loves my Chang'e, if I have any doubts, I will ...... I'm ...... I will become a rotten toad that is extremely ugly! ”
Chang'e thought for a long time, there was nothing to swear, and suddenly remembered the toad who was kicked by her, so she swore by the toad gambling curse.
Hou Yi said, smiled, hugged Chang'e in his arms and said, "How can I be willing to let my E'er become a rotten toad." ”
The two stared at each other, full of affection and tenderness, as if they had returned to the big osmanthus tree that witnessed the two becoming husband and wife. The evening breeze blew slowly, and the peach blossoms in the sky fell in bursts, sprinkled on the heads and shoulders of Hou Yi and Chang'e.
At this time, there was a thin figure hidden behind the moon gate, listening motionlessly.
This figure is none other than the proud disciple Fengmeng who Hou Yi taught him!
Feng Meng was worried about the dispute between his master and his mother and rushed to persuade peace, but he unexpectedly saw all the scenes of Hou Yi and Chang'e swearing, and when he heard the oath of the two, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but float a trace of intriguing and mysterious smile.
After a small turmoil, Hou Yi and Chang'e became more and more affectionate, as sweet as **, as if they had returned to the season of their first love.
When the love is deep, the streamer is the most fleeting, and a month has passed unconsciously.
On this day, Emperor Yao's holy decree suddenly came, and Hou Yi was ordered to quickly carry out the festival to hunt the world and destroy demons.
It turned out that although the nine days were shot down to the East China Sea, and all things in the mountains and seas were restored to vigorous vitality, there were still many demons that were rampant, especially the Kunlun Monkey, the Dongting Snake Cultivator and the Mulberry Forest Seal were the most vicious, causing the surrounding people to be displaced and uprooted from their homes.
Hou Yi did not dare to slack off when he learned of the will, so he convened his ministers to discuss the matter of hunting the world on behalf of him, and finally decided: 1. The proud disciple Feng Meng served as the presidential leader and drove him with him, and the other two disciples Zeng Cai Tianguang were the left and right commanders to lead the festival battle; 2. Han Xun was temporarily in charge of the daily affairs of the fief; 3. If something important happened in the fief, Chang'e or Pegasus must report it.
After the discussion was properly discussed, Hou Yi asked Granny Huang to divinate the next day on behalf of the hunting auspicious murderer, and got the hexagram on the nine: Bai Ben, no blame, and the Zhi also.
Therefore, in the early morning of the next day, three hundred brave followers were ordered, banners, festivals, and marches out of Gaoyang City, patrolling the world on behalf of the emperor!
