Chapter 16: Parting
The day of returning to the heavenly court will not stop, first the moon god for the matter of entering the moon palace and Chang'e had a quarrel, Tai Bai Xing proposed to set up a palace in the moon palace, the east is the Chixia Palace, the west is the Guanghan Palace, and planted a row of osmanthus trees to do the Chu River Han realm, after the Heavenly Monarch cut the Moon Palace was divided into two, since then the two palaces immortal well water does not violate the river water, and then it is my god ceremony.
The preparation of the god ceremony has been for a long time, and all matters such as rituals and costumes are no matter how big or small, and the heavenly monarch has sent Tai Bai Xing to be in charge, and Tai Bai Xing does not dare to slack off, and he does it himself and is cautious.
On the day of the ceremony, I walked majestically on the red carpet in the colorful god clothes sewn by the weaver girls with Liuxia. It turns out that once you are in your position, your waist will naturally stand up straight. At the end of the red carpet is a gorgeous Fengshen platform, on which the heavenly monarch is majestic and the gods are solemn. On both sides of the red carpet are auspicious clouds, dragons and phoenixes dancing in the heavenly pillars, shining with bright gold and jade luster, and overhead are long bridges with brilliant brilliance, all graceful and elegant, majestic and majestic. Behind me were Zijuan and Po Po Na, who were on the left and right, surrounded me like maids, and then Yang Jian and Chu Long, majestic and tidy, walking calmly. We stepped on the sound of the golden bell drum, held our heads high, and walked to the Fengshen platform.
Tai Bai Xing began to read out the Heavenly Monarch's holy decree: "The West Heavenly Spirit River Gate is honorable, the earth is gorgeous, and you can do it and be elected to the heavenly court." Reputation of the immortals, Deguang Lan Palace, the line of the ritual scriptures, Heng self-bowing. Inheriting the glory of the relatives, ascending to the rank of the gods, expensive but not ashamed, humble and benevolent. The special book is ordered to be the concubine of Xiaoxiang, the same thing as the political monarch, and the reputation of the ten parties. Chin this! ”
I bow down calmly, thank God. turned to get up and was congratulated by the hundred immortals. When I first came to Heavenly Court, I didn't know much about the ranking of the gods in the fairy world, and I didn't know how high the god rank of Concubine Xiang in the heavenly realm was, but when I saw all the gods bowing in front of me, Tai Bai Xing was no exception, and I was secretly surprised in my heart. Maybe except for the Heavenly Monarch and the Moon God, no immortal can be ahead of me! Only then did I understand the reason why Tai Bai Xing strongly opposed the Jade Emperor to confer my divine throne before, and it turned out that he was afraid that I would override him.
There was no shadow of Shen Ying among the immortals, he was just a small waiter in Chixia Palace, and he couldn't participate in such a grand ceremony. Such a glamorous and glorious moment, without sharing it with him, my heart was empty, as if I had lost.
&
After the gods, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was like a city.
Tianjun called many fairies and fairies to serve and live, and for a while, there were many people mixed up, and it was not easy for me to be disobedient when I followed the customs. The Xiangfei bamboo became more and more beautiful and upright under the care of Zijuan and Mother-in-law, and the irrigation of my weeping blood before, made the bamboo body engraved with red spots, which became a great wonder of heaven. There are more and more immortals who come to Xiaoxiang Hall to enjoy bamboo. Zijuan and mother-in-law entertained me for me, and I rarely went out in Cuizhuxuan behind closed doors. First, although I am a god, the Heavenly Monarch has not assigned specific matters to me to be in charge, and I am just a false title, and I don't need to participate in the court meeting; Second, I have lingering fears about the death of the Queen Mother of the West, and I am afraid that I will cause some trouble if I leave the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so that she can find a reason to wait for the opportunity to get rid of me.
Shen Ying was safe and sound, and Zijuan, Po Po Na and Chu Long did not delay the disaster because of me, but fortunately, I began to think of danger in times of peace. I thought about how to get out of this chaotic heavenly court. I miss the holy water of the Linghe Qingling, the grassland on the shore, the herds of elk and antelope, and even more Ai Mang. When we meet again, will he already be a Buddha with shaved hair?
&
At night, the immortals who appreciate the bamboo are scattered, I open the door of Cuizhuxuan, only to see a courtyard of moonlight like water. Zijuan led someone out of the bamboo forest, smiled and said to me, "Sister, look, who's coming." ”
It's Shen Ying. A young man with his hair tied and crowned, dressed in white. I immediately greeted me cheerfully, "Shenying, why are you here?" ”
"Come and see you!" Shen Ying held a shiny jar in her hand, and when she flashed it in front of my nose, I felt a strange aroma of wine.
"Osmanthus wine?" I exclaimed.
"You know the goods." Shen Ying handed the wine to Zijuan, and Zijuan hurriedly went down happily.
"Where did it come from?"
"The osmanthus wall between Chixia Palace and Guanghan Palace has raw materials that can be used to make osmanthus brewing. I heard that you have stayed at home since you became a god, and I think you have something on your mind, no matter how big the depression is, with wine, it will disappear. ”
What Shen Ying said is reasonable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang. But I said, "But I'm afraid that I will use wine to drown my sorrows." ”
"What can you be so upset? It's just a nostalgic offense. ”
Those who know me are also Shenying. I was a little moved, so I asked him, "How do you know that I'm not happy?" And no one is going to tell you. ”
"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart." Shen Ying's eyes looked at me brightly, and my heart was also infected by this clear gaze. I was looking back at Shen Ying, Zijuan, Po Po Na, and Chu Long came, holding wine, vegetables, melons and fruits and standing under the eaves of the porch. Zijuan said: "Let's go to the house and eat a bar!" ”
I was about to pull Shen Ying in, but Shen Ying stretched out his hand and waved, only to see a firefly-like light passing by, and there were more white jade tables and chairs in the courtyard. Zijuan and the others exclaimed under the eaves of the porch, and I opened my mouth wide in shock.
Shen Ying smiled: "Just eat in the yard!" ”
So the group ate wine around the table, and a jar of osmanthus brewed slowly tasted until the second half of the night. When the altar was empty, everyone was drunk. Yixian E hurriedly came: "Concubine Qixiang, the moon god is here." As soon as the words fell, before everyone could react, the moon god had already arrived in the courtyard. She was still wearing a black veil, standing coldly, with a sad look on her face: "Shenying, it's midnight, it's time to go back to Chixia Palace." The moon god said, and came to take Shen Ying's hand, and Shen Ying smiled and waved goodbye to me: "Zhu, I'll come to visit you another day." ”
I smiled drunkenly and nodded to him. "Okay, see you another day, see you or leave."
The moon god pulled Shen Ying behind her, stared at me, and said coldly: "Concubine Xiang is now in a high position in the Heavenly Court, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds, in the future, this palace hopes that you will not meet Shen Ying in private again." You are Concubine Xiang, even if you violate the rules of heaven, the Heavenly Monarch will protect you, Shen Ying is just a little waiter, and there are not many lives that can be dragged down by you again and again. ”
I was so drunk that I was so drunk that I couldn't say anything to protest to the moon god, so I could only watch her domineeringly pull Shen Ying out. Shen Ying turned her head, put her index finger to her lips, smiled and motioned to me not to be angry with the moon god, and I nodded understandingly.
When he turned around, he saw Zijuan, Po Po Na, and Chu Long standing in their positions with red faces and red ears, so they laughed.
The three of them also laughed, drunk to the fullest. It's just a jar of osmanthus brewing, and our amount of wine is really terrible.
"I feel so embarrassed to be reprimanded by the moon god!" I held my face and shook my head.
Zijuan muttered, "I think Luna is like an authoritarian parent. ”
Yes, Zijuan said it well, the moon god is an authoritarian parent.

When I woke up, it was dawn. When I opened my eyes, I saw a man in a brocade robe standing in front of me, wearing a crown of beads and jade boots, sitting majestically on a stone chair, it was actually the Heavenly King. I got up and straightened my clothes, and suddenly noticed Zijuan, Po Po Na, and Chu Long kneeling on the side with the wine jar above their heads. My wine woke up all at once, and I knelt down in front of Tianjun, "Jiangzhu knocked on Tianjun, I was drunk last night, it was Jiangzhu who was greedy for a cup, and I didn't do anything about the three of them, please spare them." ”
Tianjun frowned, didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: "Drinking, I don't blame you, when you are drunk, you don't know how to go back to your room to rest and lie on the yard and fall asleep, what kind of system is it?" If you three don't know how to serve your master, I'll replace you all! Tianjun pointed to the three of Zijuan, and the three of them were full of depression.
I hurriedly said: "Tianjun is angry, the three of them are friends of Jiangzhu, not slaves. was drunk last night, it was Jiangzhu who was wrong, and he couldn't complain about them. ”
Tianjun is a stubborn person, where can he listen to me? I saw him brush his sleeves and say angrily: "Come to my Eastern Heavenly Court, the three of them are your attendants." You are the concubine of Heavenly Court, if they don't serve you well, I will replace them all, and give you a few powerful Xian'e fairy children to send. ”
"Heavenly Monarch forgives sins, we know that we are wrong, and we will not dare to do it next time." Zijuan, Po Po Na and Chu Long were sincerely frightened and spoke in unison.
"If there is a next time, you all go back to the Spirit River."
Tianjun's words made my heart move. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the three of them could go back to Linghe? There are too many rights and wrongs in the heavenly court, and it is useless to stay more. I can send one away is one. I looked up at Tianjun, and said in my heart: "Tianjun, there is no next time, this time let them go back to the Spirit River." As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. The three of Zijuan were puzzled, and Tianjun looked at me puzzled.
I said: "The three of them didn't take good care of me, it's not once or twice, I'm just afraid that next time they will poke out a bigger basket for me, it's better to let them go back to Linghe now, and ask Tianjun to send some more powerful Xian'e fairy children to Jiangzhu to summon." ”
"Sister......" Zijuan looked at me with tears in their eyes. I have mixed feelings, but I also have to cut through the mess quickly.
"You've decided, and of course I'm behind you." The Celestial Monarch got up and lifted me up from the ground. My hands were cold and my mind was in chaos.

On the last night before Zijuan, Po Po Na, and Chu Long left the Heavenly Court, we cried in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Naturally, they knew the intention of my decision, and I didn't want them to suffer in the Heavenly Court, and they didn't worry about leaving me alone to face the dangers of the Heavenly Court. However, the Heavenly Monarch has made an order, and the monarch's order is difficult to disobey, and it is imperative for them to return to the Spirit River. I can only comfort them, I will take care, I will be careful, I will leave the heavenly court as fast as possible and return to the Spirit River to join them.
"Sister, you have to take care of yourself."
"Something happened, send someone to Linghe to deliver the message."
Zijuan and her mother-in-law instructed. But Chu Long never said a word, and his face was gloomy.
"Chulong, back to Linghe, you have to listen to Zijuan and Mother-in-law......" I walked towards Chulong and just wanted to comfort him a few words, but he shook me off and ran out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion like the wind.
