Chapter 49: Currying Favor (1)
The ninefold heavens were shrouded in immortal mist, and Qionglou Yuyu was endless one after another. Yaohua Palace is hidden in the layers of immortal palaces, made of clear jade, thousands of rui qi lingering, wonderful.
In the Yaohua Palace, Xian'e didn't know how many people there were, and the leader Xian'e Dan'er was demoted to guard the town demon tower for the crime of disrespect. What was added was the Xian'e personally selected by the Queen of Heaven and named Green Lotus.
On this day, the green lotus carried a plate of fruit through the jade corridor and slowly walked into a water pavilion. She stood outside the water pavilion and saluted, but there was no response, so she had to step inside, put the plate down first, and then called out at the right time: "Your Royal Highness." ”
Cha Cha turned a deaf ear, lying on the table and not knowing what was going on, even the hands on the pillow were numb and unmoved.
Green Lotus called twice in succession, Cha Cha seemed to be impatient, frowned slightly, but did not answer.
"His Royal Highness has been back to the Heavenly Palace for a few days, but he has been depressed all day long, but he was angry on the birthday of the young fairy?" Lu He looked at Cha Cha's expression and asked cautiously.
Since that day, I took Dan'er to Xiaoyaojian to celebrate the birthday of the young fairy, and after His Royal Highness came back, he sent Dan'er, usually there is a lot of forgiveness, but this time it was vigorously rectified, and it was also sent to guard the demon tower, which was a chore. If that's all it takes, how can the little highness, who has always been lively, stay at home lately, talk less, and laugh less.
Cha Cha sighed heavily and turned her head: "Shao Huan's birthday, it's too late for me to be happy, who will give me anger." ”
"Then why is the little highness so sullen?"
Cha Cha Huo Ran sat up straight and stared at the green lotus, opened his mouth several times and stopped, but in the end he only waved his hand, got up and went to the railing, and bent down to reach the lotus leaves in the water. She couldn't reach it several times, and kicked the railing angrily, so that her eyes were full of tears, and she covered her feet so angrily that she couldn't do it.
"Even you bullied me. ”
Cha Cha's emotions were about to erupt, and the grievances that had been held back for a few days leaked out like bursting the embankment, and she burst into tears.
Lu He had already come to check on her injuries, and suddenly saw that there were tears on Cha Cha's face, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly handed over the towel over: "Why is Your Royal Highness crying? If it is seen by others and reaches the ears of the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, wouldn't it make them worry?"
The green lotus was arranged by the queen of heaven, although the time to become an immortal is not long, but because he has been serving the queen, he has also cultivated a calm and introverted temperament. She only knew that Cha Cha was the most unhappy with her parents, so she inherently said this. If this matter is known to the queen of heaven, it is necessary to ask again and again.
Cha Cha was obedient, took the towel and hurriedly wiped away the tears, and sniffed the nose, which barely suppressed the surging grievances.
"If Your Highness has something on her mind and has nowhere to complain, although the slave is stupid, she is a strict mouth. Lu Lotus helped Cha Cha to sit down, and the shallow smile on his lips rose, not as flamboyant as Dan'er, but also calm and reassuring.
Cha Cha kept looking at the green lotus and didn't say a word for a long time.
Originally, Dan'er was serving by her side, and the two had similar temperaments, and Cha Cha was willing to talk to her about some troubles. But recently, Dan'er has become more and more disagreeable, rather than letting others catch the wrong place and sue the queen of heaven to be severely punished, it is better for her to fall first. Although guarding the Demon Tower is a chore, it is better than being cut off from the immortal root.
looked at the green lotus for a long time, and Cha Cha never said a word. She actually didn't trust Green Lotus very much, after all, she was the person appointed by the Queen Mother, and she was also worried that Green Lotus would tell the Queen Mother about it. With the mother's temperament, even if she doesn't want to, she has to intervene somewhat, which is not good.
Seeing the light in Cha Cha's eyes gradually dimming, Lu Lotus thought for a while, and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness is worried that the slave will tell the queen of heaven what she heard?"
Cha Cha looked at her deeply, noncommittal.
"If that's the case, Your Highness is really worried. Green Lotus lowered her head slightly, knowing that Cha Cha was looking at herself, she was also calm, "Since the first day the slave maid came, all the queen of heaven has confessed is to let the slave and maid serve His Royal Highness, avoid talking too much, don't ask too much, and don't listen too much." The slave maid used to serve with the queen of heaven and the mother, and now she is with the little highness, and she also takes the little highness first, keeps to herself, and never dares to have two hearts. ”
Cha Cha lowered her eyes, twisted the thin light veil on her cuffs, and did not answer.
Green Lotus was slightly worried, and suddenly knelt on her knees, but she startled Cha Cha, and hurriedly pulled her to get up: "What are you doing here?"
"Although the slave maid came to serve His Royal Highness to receive the will of the Queen of Heaven, she was also thinking about Her Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness does not trust, he can send the slave and maid out of Yaohua Palace, and then choose a trusted one to serve in the palace, and the slave and maid will have no complaints. The green lotus bowed deeply, touched his forehead with his hand, and bowed.
"I didn't say I didn't believe you, you hurry up. Cha Cha stretched out her hand and pulled the green lotus, and the green lotus listened to her deep tone, and didn't dare to make too many mistakes, so she got up.
Cha Cha glanced at her deeply, and then sat back on the stool: "I don't have to doubt you, it's just that these things should not be known to the queen mother." ”
The green lotus bowed: "The slave understands." Since the slave and maid serve His Royal Highness as the master, they are naturally tight-lipped and say what they should say, and they will not say a word that should not be said. ”
Cha Cha turned her head to look at the green lotus, and when she saw that she swore by her, her heart softened by two points. What's more, she has been holding it in her heart for many days, and she really wants to find someone to talk to.
"Sit down. ”
Green Lotus put his hands on his chest and didn't dare to sit down.
"It's fine. With me, I don't have to be bound by all these things. Cha Cha pulled her to sit down, lowered her head and straightened her skirt, and sighed a little melancholy.
"It seems that His Royal Highness is indeed troubled. "The Green Lotus Shan will observe words and feelings, but when he first arrived, he was transferred from the Tianhou Palace, so he was afraid of being thought that he did it on purpose, so he didn't take the initiative to ask.
Cha Cha opened his mouth to speak, but at the end he sighed heavily, and lay on the table for a long time without speaking.
"Forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, there are many rumors in the Nine Heavens, saying that His Royal Highness and the Immortal ...... the Order" Lu He didn't finish his words, and the chacha had already raised his head and stared at her fixedly. Instead of avoiding it, the green lotus faced the gaze of Cha Cha, which added a bit of grace.
This matter is not a secret in the Nine Heavenly Plains, but no one dares to put their beaks in front of the face of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven, but it is just a matter of occasionally talking about it behind their backs. His Royal Highness has a flamboyant temperament, and his words and deeds are straightforward, which inevitably makes people see the clues; Therefore, this kind of rumor was only spread for a while, and then it was all gone.
Lu He bluntly mentioned it this time, which was to conclude that His Royal Highness had been depressed for a few days, and it was thought that it was related to the Immortal of Si Ming.
"You and Dan'er are really different. Cha Cha took away the essence in her eyes, and knelt down on the table again, she was relieved to be peeped at by the green lotus, "Dan'er is more lively than you, but she always speaks and acts according to my preferences, more like flattery; If you don't care twice about me, I'm happy to tell you what's in my heart. ”
Green Lotus nodded with a smile.
Cha Cha let out a long sigh of relief, still lying on the table, only changing his posture, and pointing in the direction of the dormitory with his free hand: "You've been here for a while, you should have seen the big and small boxes in my room." ”
Green Lotus looked in the direction she was pointing, and only saw a glorious temple, but she clearly knew what Cha Cha meant: "Yes, the slave has seen it." ”
"It was sent by Si Ming. When I was 1,200 years old, he gave me twelve pearls. Cha Cha lowered his hand, thinking about it, his heart was sour, "He gives beads every year on my birthday, and he never changes, even the box with the pearl is exactly the same as in previous years, and there is nothing new." ”
The lifespan of immortals is much longer than that of mortals, and most immortals do not have a birthday once a year like mortals, usually only once in a hundred years. But there are exceptions, such as the young fairy, only because the millennium is coming, it will be celebrated on the day of the nine hundred and ninety-ninth birthday.
"You said that he is a ninefold heavenly immortal, where did he get so many things in the sea. I send the same every time, and I don't get tired of it. ”
"The slave maid heard that Si Ming Shangxian has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the South China Sea, maybe ......" Lu Lotus stopped here, looking at Cha Cha's increasingly gloomy face, and did not continue to say with interest.
"But he took a lot of effort to send Shao Huan, and it was different every time. Chacha just slapped the table, and the anger that he couldn't tolerate anymore, with the sour and astringent taste, he quickly drove people crazy.
Seeing her gaffe, Lu He was afraid that too much movement here would attract attention, so he hurriedly pulled Cha Cha and sat down, and comforted her with kind words: "Why should Your Highness be so angry." You are a princess, the pearl of the emperor and the queen of heaven, do you want anything? ”
But it was never the beads that he gave to Shaoxi. Cha Cha was furious.
Having said this, Green Lotus knew a little more in his heart.
It was because he was jealous of the wind, and he was so happy that he hid in the palace. It's no wonder, on the one hand, it's a sweetheart, and on the other hand, it's a friend who has a lot of friends, it's not reasonable to be angry with anyone in this life, it's difficult to do it, but it's embarrassing for yourself.
The left is just the ignorant mind of a girl, but it is harmless. Lu He smiled and asked Cha Cha seriously: "Your Royal Highness, tell me, is it really devoted to Si Ming Shangxian, must he be?"
Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, and then hung her head with a red face.
The answer is already on the horizon.
"Then why didn't Your Highness inform the Emperor of Heaven?" Lu He said deliberately, "According to the Emperor's favor for you, maybe it will be a good thing!"
"Don't. Cha Cha immediately retorted, "You don't know Si Ming's temperament, if he doesn't like me, even if it is the emperor's father's order, he may not obey it obediently." I really like him, and naturally I want him to treat me sincerely. If not, I'd rather not have it than for him to hate me. ”
