Chapter 224: Banquet False Alarm
The entire Heavenly Court knew that the Queen Mother of the West had a favored fairy daughter, she stayed at home and did not interact with other immortals, but no one knew her name. Whenever Gui'er and Yingli went to the Queen Mother's Palace to accompany the Queen Mother of the West for dinner, they asked me my name when they caught me, and they were frightened away by a reprimand from the Queen Mother of the West.
One day, I heard the two of them talking about me in the garden in my room, and she said, "Why is Grandma so good to her?" Protecting her so much, I have to suspect that she is grandma's own granddaughter. ”
"Cousin, don't say stupid things, I think it's good for her to be quiet and have no quarrel with the world." Ying Li spoke for me.
"It's just a name, is it that rare? Cover it like a baby, and you're not afraid of prickly heat. After the ridicule, she laughed herself.
I stood in the window and listened quietly to their childish conversation, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. What's my name? I almost forgot my name.
My name is Zhu.
Shen Ying gave me this name. He pronounced my name until he died. And the Heavenly Monarch, even if he is crazy, even if he is stupid, he will never forget my name. Now, Shen Ying is dead, the Heavenly Monarch has returned to the throne, and no one will remember the word Zhuzhu anymore.
At nightfall, Ying Li came and invited me to Zhenjun's Mansion to celebrate her birthday. She was so enthusiastic and smiling that I couldn't refuse. Go ahead, Yang Jian doesn't remember me anymore, all the immortals don't remember me, I'm a fresh face in Heavenly Court, so what am I afraid of?
I asked Yingli to wait and go to the Queen Mother of the West to say goodbye. The Queen Mother of the West gave me a night pearl and said, "It's to celebrate Yingli's birthday." It's not good to leave empty-handed, you can take this night pearl and give it to her as a birthday gift. ”
I took the box containing the pearl of the night and thanked me.
"You can go with peace of mind, just be happy when you go, don't always be sad, when the night is dark, the mourning family will shoot Xian'e to pick you up at Zhenjun's Mansion."
I silently withdrew from the room of the Queen Mother of the West, Yingli had already come up to take my hand, she took my arm very warmly, and told me how Yang Jian had worked so hard for her birthday banquet today. Tell sweetly all the way. All the way to the True Monarch's Mansion.
I listened silently, not very confused.
Yang Jian finally treated his wife wholeheartedly. Family and beauty, everything will go well.
When I arrived at the Heavenly Court True Monarch's Mansion, I saw that the immortals from all the palaces of the Heavenly Court came to congratulate him. The garden of the True Monarch's Mansion was full of feasts. The gods have already drunk it. Yang Jian was circling between the tables. I only heard the immortals make it difficult for him and said: "General Yang, don't invite your wife out and have a few drinks with everyone." ”
Yang Jian said: "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll be here in a moment. ”
Looking at this scene, I was a little stupid.
Ying Li pulled me from the end of the verandah to the backyard of the True Monarch's Mansion. As he walked, he took my hand and said, "Ignore them, let's go to the backyard to participate in a small banquet specially prepared for our fairy daughter." ”
"Mrs. Zhenjun is very popular, so many gods and goddesses have come to celebrate your birthday." I'm a kind compliment.
Ying Li's head shook like a rattle.
"No, no, Yang Jian, it's just that in the name of celebrating my birthday, I have a good relationship with the gods of Heavenly Court. You know that he has a special identity, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the mouths of other immortals, saying that he was transferred from the Earth Immortal Rong at the mouth of the Guanjiang River to Heaven by relying on the relationship of his Tianjun uncle, alas, the male god is not good! ”
"Being virtuous and not avoiding relatives, there is nothing to blame, Mrs. Zhenjun doesn't have to mind." I said lightly. Unexpectedly, after an ancient love catastrophe, the people and things of the old times have changed beyond recognition, and Yang Jian is no longer the Yang Jian of the past.
"The fairy doesn't know, how many earth immortals dream of being transferred to heaven, Yang Jian and I both know in our hearts that if it weren't for the relationship between Tianjun's uncle, how could he be so easy to come to this heavenly court to be a fairy, but because my mother-in-law is Tianjun's sister, my mother-in-law went to the queen mother to plead for mercy, and the queen mother and Uncle Tianjun asked for personal favors, and Uncle Tianjun waved his pen, and Yang Jian and I had to go to heaven."
Ying Li chattered, but also told me the truth. I knew that she regarded me as a friend, so I was relieved: "Mrs. Zhenjun doesn't have to be arrogant, General Yang himself also has a skill, how can the ability of seventy-two changes be known to everyone among the gods and immortals of the Three Realms?" ”
My words made Ying Li's heart bloom, after all, it was her husband who was praised, and she smiled and said, "That's what I said!" ”
While speaking, the two of them had already walked to the backyard of the True Monarch's Mansion. There is a large reunion table under a large laurel tree in the backyard, and many fairy daughters sit around the table. I don't know anyone else except for Rose. Mother-in-law, Zijuan, Bao Chan, and Yu'er are not qualified to come, after all, they are just little fairies serving their masters in the Queen Mother's Palace, and this table must be made by fairy daughters with gods in the heavenly court, I just can't name them.
Seeing me and Yingli appear, Gui'er and the fairy daughters left the table to greet them.
"The birthday boy is back!" Everyone is surrounded by Yingli, who is the protagonist of tonight.
"The birthday star turned out to be disgusted that those of us who celebrate our birthday were not expensive enough, so I went to invite distinguished guests." There was a prickly expression in her words, but there was a smile on her face, and I couldn't tell for a moment whether she liked or rejected me.
"I invited this distinguished guest for you, the princess, I know that the princess likes this beautiful fairy, and without her, the princess will not be able to drink happily at night." Yingli smiled and looked at Gui'er.
Gui'er rolled her eyes and said, "She seems to be talking about snacks." ”
Everyone laughed. A group of people happily entered the table, toasted again, and gave gifts to Yingli. When I gave Ying Li, the night pearl of the Queen Mother of the West, everyone present opened their mouths. That night, the light from the pearl illuminated the entire backyard as if it were day.
Ying Li said: "I have lived in the Dragon Palace for hundreds of years, and I have never seen such a pure night pearl, this gift is too valuable." ”
Gui'er pouted and said, "Why isn't it my birthday today?" Fairy, will you give me a gift on my birthday? Rose's eyes looked at me. I smiled faintly and said, "Yes." ”
Gui'er happily wanted to toast me, I was stunned for a while, it was easy to make trouble after drinking, I didn't know what kind of virtue I was drinking now, so I excused myself and said: "The princess loves me too much." I'm not strong enough to drink, so it's better not to drink. ”
Yingli wanted to drink for me: "Gui'er, my cousin-in-law is the birthday star today, you don't toast me, but go to the guests, you won't let you, the princess of the heavenly court, bend your waist like this because of a night pearl, right?" ”
Gui'er was not angry: "Cousin-in-law, a night pearl will make you inseparable." ”
Ying Li was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to appease Gui'er, but Gui'er stared at me reluctantly and said, "It's okay if the fairy doesn't drink, but there is a quid pro quo." ”
"What quid pro quo?" I looked at the boyish Roserose with some helplessness.
Gui'er said: "You don't drink the wine I toast." Then tell me what your name is. ”
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect Gui'er to be so stubborn.
"Is it enough to hide a name? Is your name so unrecognizable? Gui'er was indignant.
The crowd responded: "That's it." ”
Ying Li said good-naturedly: "Fairy, I'm also curious about what your name is." What kind of name is worthy of this fairy jade color. ”
Looking at everyone's eager eyes, I hesitated, "My name is Jiangzhu." The red beads of the crimson orb. ”
"Zhu-" A male voice suddenly sounded behind him. Everyone was taken aback. The people turned around. But seeing Yang Jian appear drunk at the door of the backyard, he shook it and was already beside Ying Li.
"...... Zhu" Yang Jian squinted at me. Thoughtfully chewing on my name.
"Cousin, look at you when you're drunk, you look like you're obsessed, and you're not afraid of your cousin-in-law." Rose's words embarrassed everyone.
Yang Jian hurriedly explained to Yingli: "I just think this name is a bit strange. ”
Ying Li smiled: "Explain what?" I'm so cautious where I am, you listen to the provocation of Rose. ”
Yang Jian smiled, and his gaze fell on my face again, for some reason, as soon as he saw me, a trace of sadness would flow on his unruly face, "Jiangzhu, this name, I seem to have heard it somewhere." ”
"Nonsense!" Ying Li slapped him on the chest and reprimanded, "If you drink a little wine, you will be open-mouthed, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by the guests." ”
"Do you mean that your husband and I are drunk and babbling?" Yang Jian spewed out a mouthful of wine on Ying Li's cheeks, and Ying Li immediately turned her face away and avoided it, causing Gui'er to laugh.
"You don't eat and talk with your fairy colleagues in the front yard, socialize and affection, and come to the backyard to get involved in the affairs of our fairy daughters, what are you doing?" Ying Li asked Yang Jian with a smile.
Yang Jian patted his head, took Ying Li's hand to save her, and said in his mouth: "Those immortals want you to toast the birthday star!" ”
"I have guests here, I won't go." Ying Li wanted to break free of Yang Jian's hand, but Yang Jian was so strong that she had no choice but to follow, and turned back to us as she walked: "You guys are waiting for me here, and I'll be back soon." ”
As soon as Yingli left, Gui'er wanted to take wine to me again, "Jiangzhu, I will borrow my cousin's wine to toast you tonight!" ”
I stared at the bright red wine in the glass cup in a daze, didn't I just say that if I read my name, I would not be allowed to drink? How can this kid not talk and not speak?
"Why, you didn't drink the wine that Princess Ben toasted you?" Rosewood is aggressive.
A palace lamp floated in, and Granny took off her cloak and appeared beside me. She blessed everyone, and then said to Gui'er: "I'm sorry princess, the queen mother asked me to take the fairy back to the palace." ”
"Drink this glass of wine and go!" Roserose pouted and put her glass in front of me.
My mother-in-law wanted to replace me, and she took a sip of my mother-in-law and said, "What are you, and what do you deserve to be a substitute for wine?" ”
I patted my mother-in-law on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to care, silently took the wine in Gui'er's hand and drank it on my neck, I gently pressed the glass cup on the table, didn't say goodbye to everyone, and took my mother-in-law's hand and left.
Gui'er shouted behind her: "Cousin-in-law asked everyone to wait for her!" ”
"Tomorrow, I will make amends to Yingli." I walked away without looking back, and I was so bored with Rose. This kid is born with a dislike for me, and even if he forgets the past, he can't be kind to me.
Holding Mother-in-law's hand out of the True Monarch's Mansion, my steps began to stumble.
"Is the fairy drunk?" Mother-in-law asked me worriedly.
A glass of wine makes my mind dizzy, is it really because my body is weak?
Biting my lip, I took my mother-in-law's hand and stumbled towards the Queen Mother's Palace.
The scenery of the Heavenly Palace in the night is beautiful, and I have not walked on the long street of the Heavenly Court without such an unguarded stroll for a long time. The night clouds were fluttering, the cigarette smoke was ethereal, and the shooting stars flew by, and I walked slowly and sadly.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of stumbling footsteps in front of me, and I heard the voice of the Heavenly Monarch: "Where have the immortals gone tonight?" One by one, if there is a sudden calamity in the Three Realms, where can I find them? ”
I was shocked, and the pressure swept in from all directions, and my body was squeezed hard, and I turned into a red girl again.
"Huh, fairy?" Granny looked around for me, but she didn't notice a little grass at her feet. She couldn't continue to look for me, because the Heavenly Monarch was already close at hand, and she had already trembled and knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother-in-law to meet the Heavenly Monarch!" ”
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing at such a late hour, why don't you stay in the Queen Mother's Palace and wander around?" Tianjun asked her coldly.
Mother-in-law stood up for a while.
Tianjun flicked his sleeves in annoyance and walked away. Behind him was Tai Bai Xing, who bowed his head and bent his waist, and the old guy hung the dust on the crook of his arm, and trotted all the way to appease the Heavenly Monarch and said, "Don't worry, the immortals may have gone to a party." ”
"Can Tai'an of the Three Realms let down his vigilance? As the commander of the Three Realms, every immortal in the Heavenly Court must muster up the spirit of the twelve-point, otherwise, unstable things may happen in the Three Realms anytime and anywhere. ”
"Yes, yes, Xiao Xian, let the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals go to find the immortals."
Tai Bai Xing and a group of fairy children surrounded the Heavenly Monarch and walked away on the long street, and the pressure that bound me was lifted at once, and my grass body turned into a human form and stood up from the ground, and my mother-in-law was startled.
"Fairy, where did you just go?"
I said to my mother-in-law: "Ana, you hurry up and go to the True Monarch's Mansion to inform Yang Jian and Yingli and let them disperse the banquet!" ”
If the Heavenly Monarch finds out that Yang Jian is feasting on the immortals in the True Monarch's Mansion, he is afraid that he will be furious, right?
"Are the fairies afraid that the Heavenly Monarch will punish them if they find out?"
I nodded and gave Anaa a a hard push, and Ana's panicked and flew towards the True Monarch's Mansion in the wind. The palace lamp loomed in the night clouds.
************************
The next day, the heavenly court was peaceful.
The Zhenjun Mansion received a ventilation report from the mother-in-law in advance, and the banquet ended hastily. When Tianjun arrived at the True Monarch's Mansion, Yang Jian and Ying Li were already standing on the bed. So, it's just a false alarm.
When I was having breakfast with the Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother of the West looked at me with a smile and said, "I still can't get rid of the old habit of being nosy." ”
I was stunned, it turned out that she had already understood everything in her heart.
After breakfast, when I returned to the room, I saw Yingli sitting at the table, and there was a food box on the table, which was all kinds of snacks she made for me.
"Thank you last night."
"Thanks for what? That night, the pearl was given to you by the Queen Mother, and I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. ”
"I'm not talking about the Pearl of the Night, I'm talking about Ana's coming to report the news. Fortunately, thanks to you, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, Yang Jian would have been punished at the least, and he might have to be kicked out of the heavenly court at the worst! Ying Li had palpitations.
Since then, Yingli has become more intimate and trusting to me. (To be continued......)
