Chapter 11 The spring breeze in the courtyard is full of melancholy to the east of the wall
More romances, all in the world's first reading station. Please remember this site: the first in the world.
When the Yellow Emperor came to the Central Plains to inspect, he should climb Shennong Mountain, worship heaven and earth, and worship Pangu, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Emperor Yan. Even if he inspected the Central Plains more than 200 years ago and encountered a major accident in Xingtianxing, the Yellow Emperor still climbed Shennong Mountain and held worship and sacrificial ceremonies before returning to Xuanyuan Mountain, but this time, the Yellow Emperor has been stationed in Zezhou and has not come to Shennong Mountain for a long time.
The Yellow Emperor did not leave for a day, and all the clans in the Central Plains were worried for a day.
On the eighteenth day of the spring month, the Yellow Emperor finally chose Mengxia Wangri as the auspicious day, and announced that he would go to the purple gold top, but he did not order the Zhuan Xuan, who had been in Shennong Mountain, to prepare for worship and sacrifice ceremonies, but let Canglin prepare.
Because of Cang Lin and Zhuan's answer last time, Cang Lin identified the Yellow Emperor
One day, Xiao Yao received a post from Xinyue, inviting her to Xiao Zhurong Mansion to drink tea.
Since the Yellow Emperor went to the Central Plains to inspect, Xinyue has been living in a simple place, and she has never seen her once, but this time she took the initiative to invite Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao naturally had to run no matter what.
When Xiao Yao arrived at Xiao Zhurong's Mansion, Xin Yue invited Xiao Yao into the secret room, and Feng Long was inside.
Xinyue smiled: "I'll prepare some melon and fruit snacks, and my brother will accompany Xiaoyao first." β
Xiao Yao was very surprised, she thought it was Xinyue who had something to say to her, but she didn't expect it to be Fenglong.
After Xinyue left, Xiao Yao asked, "You called me mysteriously, what do you want to say to me?" β
Feng Long grabbed his head, his face was a little red, he hesitated for a while, but he didn't say anything, Xiao Yao looked at him funny. He poured a bowl of wine, poured it down, put down the bowl heavily, and said, "Xiaoyao, you and I should get married!" β
"Huh?" Xiao Yao was stunned.
Once Feng Leong spoke, he let go: "What do you think of our marriage?" β
Xiao Yao was a little dizzy: "You know that Jing and I have ...... You and Jing are good friends, good brothers, don't you mind? β
"What's there to mind about that? Good things naturally everyone wants, I just regret being preempted by him, but it's a pity that he is not blessed after all, and you have no fate as husband and wife. I don't like to be secretive, and before I came to ask you, I told Jing that I wanted to marry you. I made it clear to him directly, as long as you agree to marry me, I will definitely cherish you, and I hope he will dispel all thoughts. You are only a friend's wife to him from now on. β
"What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything, and I could tell he was sad, but as long as you agreed, I'm sure he would bless us."
Xiao Yao smiled, poured herself a bowl of wine, and slowly sipped it: "Feng Long, why do you want to marry me?" β
Feng Long said embarrassedly: "You are good-looking, you have a good temperament, and you can fight with me." β
Xiao Yao smiled: "These three things, the prostitutes in the prostitute house can do better than me." β
Feng Long smiled and shook his head: "You...... You've got yours! You can say that! β
Xiao Yao said: "Tell me why you really want to marry me." β
"That's the real reason, but it's only part of it. I need help now, if I want to help him, I must become the patriarch, but the elders of the clan think that my ideas are too deviant, and they have been letting my grandfather temper me for decades and smooth out my temperament. If I want to take over as patriarch at once, I must make it clear to all the elders that they can no longer oppose me, and what could be more appropriate than to marry you? β
"You just married me because my brother needs help?"
Feng Long sighed: "You really want to peel off all my skin!" Well, I need you too, I need you to help me ascend to the position of patriarch now, and I need to consolidate the alliance with Zhuan through you in the future. In this world, even though there are all kinds of covenants, the most reliable ones are still in-laws. You are the only granddaughter of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the ancestor of the silkworm god, and the only sister of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, marrying you means too many things, you should understand it yourself. β
Xiao Yao said: "It also means a lot of trouble, Mrs. Tu Shan just doesn't like the trouble I bring, I remember that your four families have the rules of protecting yourself." β
Feng Long laughed: "Xiao Yao, do you think what I am doing is like a person who abides by the rules of the clan?" If you are worried that my grandfather will object, let me tell you, my grandfather is not Mrs. Tu Shantai, our Chishui clan has always been the head of the fourth family, thousands of years ago, the ancestors and mothers borrowed soldiers from our Chishui family! If it weren't for the help of our Chishui clan, maybe there would be no later Xuanyuan Kingdom! I can marry you, and my grandfather can't be happy! β
"Did you tell you the conditions for marrying me?"
"I said, once when I asked him to help me match, he said that if I want to marry you, I can only have you one woman in my life, let me think about it." Feng Long pointed to himself, "You and I have known each other for decades, what kind of character I am, you should know a little, I really don't have much interest in women, sometimes I play outside, just to save face, not out of preference." If I marry you, I don't mind letting all my friends know that I'm afraid of the inside and will never dare to provoke a woman outside. I swear, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will be the only one for the rest of my life, I dare not guarantee how gentle and considerate I will take care of you, but I will do my best to be good to you. β
Xiao Yao drank a bowl of wine, held an empty wine bowl, and was silent.
Feng Long poured her another bowl: "I know that I am not better than Jing, so that you are really excited, but I am really the most suitable man for you, our family background matches, as long as you and I are willing, the elders on both sides are happy to see it happen, and will give us the most sincere blessings." Regardless of your appearance or temperament, you are naturally the best. I'm not bad, at least standing with you, it will only be enviable, and no one will boast that a flower is stuck in cow dung. β
Xiao Yao just took a sip of wine, almost burst out laughing, Feng Long quickly took the wine bowl, Xiao Yao covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed softly.
Feng Leong said: "To be honest, it is not easy to put together these two items in the world. Even if we get it together, we may still have a wrong path, but you and I will always be on the same road. You will always be on the side of Zhuan, and I will always follow Zhuan, just like Xiang Yan and the Yellow Emperor, the closest friends, the most reliable comrades-in-arms, and the most trusting monarchs and ministers. I will always be loyal to you, and there will never be a major conflict between me and you. I know that women want their feelings to be pure, but sometimes, you can think the other way around, these are not pure but like a visible rope, binding us firmly, isn't it more reliable than the invisible and untouchable feelings? At least you know I can never live without you! Because to betray you is to betray you! β
Xiao Yao took the wine bowl back and said with a smile: "I can understand why you can help my brother become a lobbyist and persuade heroes of all ethnic groups to be loyal to my brother." β
Feng Leong was a little surprised: "It's different, I will tell lies when I talk to them, but what I tell you is the truth." β
Xiao Yao said: "Things are too hasty, after all, it is a major marriage event, a once-in-a-lifetime thing, I can't give you an answer now, you let me think about it." β
Hong Leong said joyfully, "The fact that you did not reject me proves that I have hope." Xiaoyao, I swear, I'll really be nice to you! β
Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed: "I always think it's weird, people talk about marriage, and women hide behind in shame, but the two of us are here to talk about business." β
Feng Leong said, "That's why you and I are a good match!" To be honest, I used to be very resistant to getting a wife, but now that I think about you, I think that no matter what happens, we can sit down like this, discuss it calmly, and I think it's good to have a wife. Sometimes, we can also drink and chat at the same time. β
Xiao Yao drank wine and didn't speak.
The knock on the door was still sound, and Xinyue came in with a maid with melons and fruits.
Feng Long accompanied Xiao Yao to eat a little, and said to Xiao Yao: "I still have something to do, I have to go first." β
Xiao Yao has long been used to it: "It's okay, you go and get busy with you!" β
Feng Long got up to leave, but he was a little reluctant, and looked at Xiao Yao with a blank eye: "I really hope you can agree." β
Xiao Yao nodded: "I know, I will do my best to reply to you." β
Feng Long smiled hard and made a carefree appearance: "However, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, everyone is still friends." With that, he opened the door and strode away.
Xinyue invited Xiao Yao to have tea.
The two sat on the tea couch, and Xinyue made tea for Xiao Yao by herself.
Xinyue asked, "How are you doing lately?" β
Xiao Yao replied: "In the current situation, I can't say that he is very good, but he does look the same as usual, and occasionally he will take Shuhui to the mountain stream for a walk after dinner." β
Xinyue said, "If you want to help Zhuan, it's best to marry my brother." β
Xiao Yao smiled and didn't speak, if you really want to help Zhen Yan so much, why don't you want to marry?
Xin Yue grinded the tea and said, "Originally, there was a secret lobbying between me and my brother, and there was no problem for the six major clans to stand on Zhuan's side, but both the Fan family and the Zheng family had a grudge against Zhuan. Back then, in addition to Bingfei, there were also a man and a woman who harmed you in Plum Blossom Valley, the woman was the fiancΓ©e of Fan's eldest lang, and the man was Miss Zheng's fiancΓ©. My brother and I persuaded Zhuan Xuan to let them go, but Zhuan Xuan insisted on refusing, killed them all, and formed a grudge with the Fan family and the Zheng family. In order to take revenge, Fan's Dalang acted very crazy, and many people in the Central Plains Bijing were dissatisfied with the Xuanyuan clan and did not dare to murder the Yellow Emperor, so they all set their sights on Zhuan, and gradually made more and more trouble. β
The water boiled, Xinyue put the tea powder into the water, boiled the vegetables, she put out the fire, filled a bowl of tea, and brought it to Xiao Yao: "Although Zhuan Xuan married the daughter of the Yu family, not only because of you, he must also have his considerations, my brother and I also have our considerations, but it is undeniable that he is indeed for you." β
Xiao Yao took the tea bowl and put it on the case: "I know how my brother treats me, you don't need to bother lobbying me, I am not the kind of person who immediately gets hot-headed and wants to do something to repay because of what my brother has done for me." β
Xinyue laughed, "I just think you should know these things." β
Xinyue scooped up the tea soup and slowly poured it into the tea bowl: "Once I chatted with my mother, my mother said that women will always meet two men in their lives, one is like fire, the other is like water, when they are young, they will want fire, eager to burn vigorously, but in the end, most of the women choose to stay in the water, plain and long. My brother is not your fire, and he can't make your heart burn, but he should be able to be your water, and you will be plain and plain until you grow old. β
Xiao Yao thought silently for a while, only to feel that Xin Yueniang's words seemed calm and indifferent, but they were full of helplessness and sadness, and they seemed to be helpless and sad, but they were calm and indifferent from the long years.
Xiao Yao asked, "Is my brother your fire, or your water?" β
Xin Yue said: "Xiaoyao, I am different from my mother. My mother is the only daughter of the Chishui patriarch, she was raised in the palm of her hand and grew up, she has the leisure to experience the private relationship between men and women, and I ...... I grew up in Xuanyuan City, and I seemed to have a noble status. But in the eyes of those Xuanyuan nobles, I am a descendant of the defeated clan, just a proton used to contain my father and my grandfather. Do you know what it's like to be a proton? β
Xiao Yao looked at Xinyue and didn't speak.
Xinyue smiled: "My mother always thought that I didn't know anything, and made up all kinds of excuses to tell me why we couldn't be with my father, but she didn't know that there were no secrets between children. They would say the vicious things they heard from the adults as they were, or even more so to me. At the banquet, the Yellow Emperor gave me the most generous reward, and they would say viciously, it's not that Your Majesty favors you, Your Majesty is afraid that your father will rebel, do you know what Your Majesty will do to you if your father rebels? Your Majesty will cut you with a thousand cuts, do you know what a thousand cuts are? A thousand cuts is to cut off your flesh piece by piece with a knife. β
Xinyue smiled and shook her head: "Do you know that there was a time when I prayed for something every day when I went to bed? When other children were begging their parents to give them gifts, I was begging my father not to rebel, because I didn't want to be cut by a thousand cuts, I didn't want to be taken out of my heart and liver, I didn't want to chop off my hands and feet and make a human stick. β
Xinyue's voice was a little hard, she lowered her head to eat tea, and Xiao Yao also picked up the tea bowl and sucked it slowly.
After a while, Xinyue said calmly, "I know you think I'm scheming. Even my brother is sometimes impatient and thinks I'm overcalculating, but I can't be like Ah Nian. When I was in Xuanyuan City, I swore that in this life, I would never live like that again, and I would definitely stand on the highest place. β
Xiao Yao said: "Xinyue, you really don't have to explain to me, this is between you and Zhuan, and Zhuan Xuan has not blamed you." β
He ...... Did he really say that? β
"Zhen Xuan has been an abandoned son in Gaoxin for more than 200 years, he said that it is not easy for everyone to live, I didn't think much about him at the time, but now that I think about it, he should understand your approach very well, and he really doesn't blame you at all."
Xinyue drank tea silently, and after being silent for a long time, she said: "No matter what kind of life I lived secretly in Xuanyuan City before, everyone still has to respect me on the surface. I am a descendant of the Shennong royal family, and I have my pride. If you want to marry me, you must be able to give me the grandest wedding, not only because I want it, but also because this is what the Xuanyuan clan must give to the Shennong clan. Xiaoyao, do you understand? I'm not just me, I represent the Shennong clan, a defeated royal clan, and I also represent all the clans in the Central Plains, the clans that are in decline with pride! You can marry as simple as you like, and no one will question anything, because behind you is the prosperous Gaoxin country, and people will only think that you are free and easy, but I can't, my casual simplicity will only remind the world of our failure and shame. β
Xiao Yao said sincerely: "Even if I didn't understand it at first, now I understand, and I must understand it better than me." β
Xinyue was a little embarrassed and said, "Originally, I just wanted to persuade you to agree to marry my brother, but I don't know how it burned me." β
Xiao Yao smiled: "We haven't talked like this for a long time, it's good!" β
Xinyue said: "When you and Brother Jing were together, I knew that you and Brother Jing would be separated, and I can understand some of Yiying's thoughts, because we are both too eager to stand on a high place, and she will never let go." You can't fight her, I've hinted at you a few times, but you don't seem to understand. β
Xiao Yao said: "It's all in the past, so there's no need to mention it." β
Xin Yue said: "Compared with Brother Jing, my brother is really more suitable for you."
Xiao Yao smiled: "Feng Leong has said a lot, I will really think about it seriously." β
Xiao Yao drank clean tea and looked at the sky: "I have to go back." β
Xinyue said: "I'll send you." β
When she was about to reach Yun Yuan, Xin Yue said: "Xiao Yao, everyone knows that you are close to Zhen Xu, and your husband will definitely support Zhen Xu." And my brother's identity is very delicate, although he is the Chishui clan, but he is also the son of Xiao Zhurong, you marry my brother, it seems that you are a daughter-in-law of the Chishui clan, but you still want to call Xiao Zhurong Daddy. As long as you and your brother are married, I believe that even His Majesty the Yellow Emperor will have to reconsider his choice. β
Xiao Yao said: "I will definitely think about it carefully. β
Xinyue said: "Be quick, time is pressing!" β
Xiao Yao went to the clouds with heavy pressure.
Back at the Zijin Palace, Xiao Yao washed up, changed into a comfortable old clothes, and walked slowly along the path.
By the time she told Xinyue that she would think it through, she had already made her decision and was now just trying to convince herself that her decision was made for herself.
Before she knew it, she walked to a hibiscus tree, and remembered that she had stepped on the dew early in the morning to pick the leaves, soaked them in clay pots, and took them to the thatched hut in Caocauling to wash Jing's hair.
The hibiscus tree is still there, but the people are gone.
Xiao Yao picked two leaves, pinched them in his hands, and walked silently.
She walked to the edge of the cliff and sat down on the rocks, where there was a grassy ridge, but the clouds covered her with mist, and she could see nothing.
I still remember those nights in the hut, when I was reluctant to sleep, I was so sleepy that I yawned, but I still had to pestering Jing to talk, and what I said was just trivial nonsense, but I don't know why, I just felt happy.
The hut should still be the same, but the person who said he would always be with her has become a father.
Xiao Yao tore the hibiscus leaves into wisps and then into wisps of wisps, she opened her hand and watched the mountain wind blow the broken leaves, and the pieces flew away from her palms and into the clouds, not knowing where they went.
There is still the fragrance of hibiscus leaves in her palm, Xiao Yao looked at her palms and thought: With Feng Long, I'm afraid she won't get up early and step on the dew to pick hibiscus leaves; It won't be that the two of them don't think about anything all afternoon, it's just that you wash my hair, and I wash your hair; She wouldn't be reluctant to sleep when she didn't talk nonsense at night, and even if she was willing to do so, Feng Leong wasn't interested in listening to it. Just as Hong Leong heard that when something happened, they sat down and discussed it calmly, and when they were fine, they ...... Hong Leong should not have much time at home when he is fine, and even if he is at home, he is tired and needs to rest; I'm afraid that she will never be angry with Feng Long, and the two of them are harmonious and respectful of each other at any time.
Actually, it's not bad. When something happens, she can discuss it with Hong Leong; When she is fine, she has a lot of freedom to open a medicine field and grow herbs in the house. Maybe she can open another medical clinic, Hong Leong himself is very arrogant and willful, and he will not object to his wife's anonymous practice of medicine. If Hong Leong goes home, they eat together, and if Hong Leong doesn't come home, she eats by herself.
If you have children, you're probably going to be busy. Since her mother left Xiao Yao behind, Xiao Yao decided that she would do her own children in the future, and she would do everything for the little one, so that the little one would know for sure that his mother loved him very much no matter what time he thought of his mother.
The child is getting older, and she and Feng Leong are getting old.
Xiao Yao laughed slightly, it is indeed the same as what his grandfather said, it is not so difficult to pick a suitable person, and it is not so difficult to grow old.
There was a familiar sound of footsteps behind her, and Zhen Xuan sat down beside her: "What did Xinyue say to you, you hid here alone to think?" β
"She explained the reason why she can't marry you now, and wants me to relay it to you so that you don't blame her. I told her that you really didn't blame her. She said......"
Zhen Xuan smiled: "Don't think about it, I will be able to understand what she said." β
Xiao Yao sighed, Zhen Xuan fully understood, he had no expectations for Xinyue, let alone trust, so naturally he would not be resentful. Unbeknownst to Xinyue, she had missed the only chance she could gain the expectation and trust of Zhuan, and never after that. But maybe Xinyue doesn't care at all, as she said, she is not her mother, she does not care about the love between men and women.
Zhen Xuan said: "Xinyue can't just explain this, just to explain this, what else did you say?" β
"I've seen Hong Leong."
"Does he want you to bring me anything?"
Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head: "He has something to look for me." β
The smile on his face froze, and Xiao Yao said, "He proposed to me." β
He looked silently at the place where the clouds and mist were rolling, which was the direction of the grass recess, no wonder Xiao Yao would sit here.
Xiao Yao looked at Zhen Xuan, but she couldn't see Zhen Xuan's thoughts at all: "Brother, what do you think of me marrying Feng Long?" β
"Will you marry her?"
He swore that he would be a woman for the rest of his life, and he said that he would be good to me. We have known each other for decades, and we both understand each other's temperament, and since we can be friends, it should not be difficult to be a respectful couple. β
He was still silent, not speaking, and not knowing what he was thinking.
Xiao Yao was very strange: "Brother, didn't you really want me to give Feng Leong a chance before?" β
"Giving him the opportunity to pursue you and letting you marry him are two different things."
"You don't want me to marry him?"
Zhen Yan nodded, and shook his head again.
"Brother, what the hell are you thinking?"
Zhen Xuan took a deep breath and laughed: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt too sudden, a little blind." β
"I was also very confused, at first I felt that I didn't need to think about it, and I definitely refused, but Feng Leong was very serious, and I had to think about it carefully when he said it, and after thinking about it, it seemed that what he said made sense."
"What did he say?"
"Some praise and boast about me! He complimented me on my good looks and temperament, said that I could drink with him, and that he was very good, and that he himself was very good, oh, by the way, and said that we were compatible with everything, and when we got married, everyone would bless us, and it would come naturally.
"That's all? He didn't mention me? β
Xiao Yao smiled: "I mentioned a few words, I forgot what I said specifically, it's nothing more than that you have a good relationship with him, and you will be happy to see me with him." β
Zhen Xuan stared at Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao's heart was weak, but he made a calm appearance and looked at Zhen Yao: "What do you want to know?" β
He said, "I don't want you to marry him for me. β
"No, of course not! Hong Leong is indeed the most suitable person for me, whether it is our family background or we are personal. β
"Do you really care? Would you like it yourself? β
Xiao Yao said: "I definitely hope that my father and you can agree and bless me, and the most important thing is that he swears that I am the only woman in my life, and I will definitely be good to me." Brother, in the Great Wilderness, can you find someone more suitable than her? β
Zhen Xuan was silent, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "There can't be a more suitable person than him." In the future, he is my right-hand man, you are close to me, it is easy to meet, if there is anything, I can take care of it. With me here, forgive him and don't dare to treat you badly! β
Zhen Xuan sighed and smiled, as if he was extremely happy: "There really can't be a better candidate than him!" β
Xiao Yao stood up, looked at the sea of clouds, took a deep breath, and finally made up her final decision. She turned around, facing Zhen Xuan, with her back to Caoaoling, and said, "Brother, I agree to marry Feng Long!" β
Zhen Xuan narrowed his head: "Okay." β
Xiao Yao pulled him up with a smile and walked in the direction of the Purple Gold Palace: "I'll go back and write a letter immediately, and my father will receive the news tomorrow morning." β
Zhen Xuan said: "I sent someone to tell Feng Long that the Chishui Patriarch should immediately send someone to Wushen Mountain to discuss relatives. β
Back at the Zijin Palace, Zhen Xuan and Xiaoxiao told her about it and asked her to inform Feng Long in person.
Xiao Yao saw Xiaoxiao leave and sighed: "I'm actually going to get married!" β
Zhen Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, you are actually going to get married!" β
Xiao Yao laughed: "I'm going to write a letter to my father, I won't eat with you for dinner, and let the maid send it directly to me." After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the temple where he lived.
With a smile on his face, he watched Xiao Yao's figure gradually disappear between the vermilions and tiles. Suddenly, he slammed his fist into the tree beside him, and a large tree that was already lush broke off, and the trunk fell and smashed to the top of the temple. It just so happened that Jin Xuan saw this scene, and immediately sent out spiritual power, letting the tree trunk slowly lean against the temple wall.
Jin Xuan hurriedly came over and said in surprise: "Your Highness? β
Zhen Xuan said lightly: "It's broken by mistake, you clean it up." He paused and said with a smile, "I want you to forget about this matter immediately." β
Jin Xuan knelt down and responded, "Yes." β
Zhen Xuan walked away, and when Zhen Xuan was far away, Jin Xuan stood up, looked at the broken tree, and looked at the palace where Xiao Yao lived.
Jin Xuan is a wood demon, and quickly cleaned up the broken tree, and specially replanted one, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice that something has happened here.
Feng Long thought that Xiao Yao might agree, but he didn't expect to say to Xiao Yao in the morning, and Xiao Xiao came to tell her in the evening that Xiao Yao agreed to marry him. If the person who delivered the news was not Xiaoxiao, he would suspect that it was fake news.
Feng Long had to sigh again that he had chosen the right person, and Xiao Yao's cheerfulness was no worse than that of a man.
Feng Long took off a piece of jade pendant he was carrying, and said to Xiaoxiao: "This jade pendant is not very rare, but I have carried it since I was a child, please give it to Wang Ji and ask her to wait for my news." β
Xiaoxiao put away the jade pendant and said, "I will tell you truthfully and say goodbye." β
Feng Long didn't even bother to tell Xinyue about it himself, so he immediately drove his mount to Chishui, rushed home in the middle of the night, and broke into his grandfather's bedroom without waiting for anyone to pass the news.
The Chishui patriarch was so shocked that he jumped off the bed: "What's wrong?" β
Feng Long smiled: "Something happened, but it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, your precious grandson is going to marry your granddaughter-in-law." β
The Chishui Patriarch was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who?" β
"The Great King of Gaoxin."
"What? Are you talking about the granddaughter of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the grandmother, the apprentice of the Queen Mother? β
"It's her!"
The Chishui patriarch muttered: "This is the most noble unmarried woman in the Great Wilderness, I didn't expect it to fall into our Chishui family, you are really capable!" β
Feng Long smiled: "But there is a condition for marrying her." β
"On what terms?"
Feng Long said, "I will be the patriarch, and I will marry her at the wedding ceremony of the chief's wife." β
The Chishui patriarch frowned: "This is what she proposed?" β
"Of course not! She is the eldest princess of Gaoxin, and the degree of the treasure that Emperor Jun has for her, does anyone want anything? Still need to compete with your grandson? It's my own request, you can't let the guests talk about me at the wedding that I'm not as good as the woman I marry, right? What's more, I want to give it to her, she deserves to be married by me with the grandest ceremony of the Chishui Clan. β
The Chishui patriarch glared at Feng Long: "Do you want to be the patriarch yourself, or do you want to give her a grand wedding ceremony?" β
Hong Leong chuckled dryly.
The Chishui patriarch actually wanted to pass on the position of patriarch to Feng Long for a long time, but the elders in the clan have always opposed it, but in the current situation, they should not oppose it anymore. The Chishui patriarch thought for a while, knocked on Feng Long's head with a smile, and said, "If you like to carry this burden, take it!" I've wanted to enjoy the blessings for a long time. I know that you are ambitious, a Chishui clan can't satisfy you, I don't object to you being ambitious, but you have to remember that what you do must be worthy of the mother who gave birth to you and raised you. β
Feng Long knelt down and said solemnly: "Grandpa, you can enjoy the blessings of Qingfu, your grandson will not let you down." β
The Chishui patriarch helped him up and sighed: "I'm old, I don't understand what you young people think, and I don't want to care about it, if I'm blessed, I can still see my great-grandson." β
Feng Long said anxiously: "Hurry up and send someone to call those guys up, hurry up and discuss, hurry up and send someone to propose to His Majesty Emperor Jun, hurry up and make me the patriarch." β
Feng Long's series of hurried to make the old patriarch dizzy: "You ......" the Chishui patriarch shook his head, "That's it, that's it, I'll go crazy with you for the last time!" β
The chief of the Chishui clan sent someone to invite the elders, and when the elders were woken up from the dream by the attendants, they were all frightened, and they came immediately one by one, but the time for a pillar of incense actually came.
The Chishui patriarch told Feng Long that he wanted to marry a wife, but fortunately, Xiaoyao's identity was important enough, and the elders only complained a little or two.
An elder who always liked to be picky about Feng Long asked, "Would Prince Gao really be willing to marry you?" Even if she wanted to, would Jundi agree? β
Feng Long said impatiently: "You immediately send someone to propose marriage, and His Majesty Emperor Jun will definitely agree." β
The elder listened to Feng Long's tone and said no more.
A cautious and steady elder said, "The identity of the Great King Ji of Gaoxin is very special, the patriarch can think about it clearly!" β
The Chishui patriarch understood what he was hinting at, and said solemnly: "I have thought about it, the benefits and risks are a pair of twins, and they will always be inseparable, this daughter-in-law, we Chishui clan can afford it!" β
The elder nodded, acknowledging King Gaoxin.
The Chishui Patriarch saw that the elders had no objections, and said, "I plan to send the third brother to Wushen Mountain, and if Emperor Jun should get married, we will immediately make a marriage." In addition, I am getting older, and I am unable to exert myself more and more over the years, and I plan to pass on the throne to Hong Leong, do you have any opinions? β
The elders glanced at each other, they were all silent, the elders who originally wanted to oppose thought about the marriage between Prince Gao and Feng Long, this patriarch's position would be Feng Long sooner or later, and if they oppose it now, they will only offend both the patriarch and Wang Ji. If you settle a personal favor today, not only will you repair the relationship with Feng Long, but you can also ask Wang Ji for help in the future, so that the best casting master of the Jin Tian clan can build weapons for your children and grandchildren.
After weighing the pros and cons, the elders spoke, "Everything is up to the patriarch. β
The Chishui Patriarch smiled: "That's good! I have already instructed people to prepare gifts, and tomorrow I will work hard for the third brother, and go to Wushen Mountain to propose to Emperor Jun. β
Chishui Yuntian is a good man who has no quarrel with the world, because he likes food, his face is round, and he said with a smile: "This is a great thing, just a trip, it is not hard at all, and you can also taste the craftsmanship of Gaoxin Imperial Chef." β
In the early morning, Chishui Yuntian rushed to Wushen Mountain with gifts.
Emperor Jun has received Xiao Yao's letter, during the day, he seems to have nothing happened, and he is still calmly handling political affairs, but at night, he held Xiao Yao's jade slip and wandered under the film for most of the night.
Ah Heng, Ah Heng, are you willing to let Xiao Yao marry the boy of the Chishui family?
The moon was silent, the shadow was silent, only the phoenix whimpered and sobbed.
Emperor Jun, who rarely remembers the past, suddenly remembered many things in the past, Qingyang, Yunze, and Changyi...... Faces flashed through his mind, they were still the same as when she was young, but she was dusty and sideburns.
Father, Zhongrong...... They were all killed by him, but they talked forever, and no matter how much time passed, Emperor Jun knew that his feet were still standing in their blood.
Some people once called him Shao Hao happily, some people used to call him Shao Hao angrily, and now, no matter whether he is happy or angry, no one calls him Shao Hao anymore, and his only name is that there is no more happy and angry Emperor Jun.
Emperor Jun looked up at the stars in the sky and slowly closed his eyes.
On the 23rd of the month of spring in the season, Chishui Yuntian asked to see Emperor Jun and tentatively proposed to Emperor Jun, and Emperor Jun agreed with a smile.
Chishui Yuntian immediately sent a letter bird to send a message back to Chishui, and the Chishui clan received an affirmative reply from Emperor Jun, and while sending someone to send a rich dowry and formally discuss marriage with Gao Xin, he began to prepare for the ceremony of Feng Long taking over as the patriarch.
Feng Long insisted on taking over as the patriarch before she and Prince Gao Ji were married, and everyone understood his thoughts, no man likes to be talked about because his wife became the patriarch, anyway, everything is a foregone conclusion, and no elder wants to offend the patriarch and the patriarch's wife who come, so there is no objection.
There was no time to invite too many guests, so the Chishui clan imitated the succession ceremony of the patriarch of the Tushan clan, and only invited the three clans of Xuanyuan, Gaoxin, and Shennong, the other three clans of the fourth family and the six clans of the Central Plains.
In the month of spring and the obscure day, under the witness of twelve guests, the Chishui clan carried out a simple but solemn patriarch succession ceremony, announcing to the world that Chishui Fenglong had become the patriarch of the Chishui clan.
In the month of Mengxia and Hengri, Emperor Jun and the new Chishui patriarch successively announced that the Chishui patriarch Chishui Fenglong and the king of Gaoxin, Ji Gaoxin Jiuyao, were married.
Soon, the news spread all over the Great Wilderness, and the whole Great Wilderness was full of discussions.
Gaoxin Dawang Ji still lives in the Zijin Palace in Shennong Mountain, and is obviously very close to Zhuan, does her relationship with the Chishui patriarch mean that the Chishui clan officially announced their support for Zhuan? And Feng Long is the son of Xiao Zhurong, what does the Shennong clan mean?
The attention caused by Feng Long and Xiao Yao's marriage actually overwhelmed the Yellow Emperor's major event of going to the Purple Gold Peak to worship heaven and earth, and the people who had originally shown favor to Canglin immediately died down, feeling that it was better to open their eyes and see more clearly.
On the 11th day of the month of Mengxia, the patriarch of the Qi clan invited Zhen Xuan, the chief of the Chishui clan, Feng Long, the patriarch of the Tushan clan, the son of the chief of the Xiling clan, Xiling Chun, and the envoy of the patriarch of the ghost side all attended the banquet.
The relationship between the Zhen clan and the Zhen clan is self-evident, the attitude of the Xiling clan is very clear, and the Ghost Fang clan also vaguely expressed their attitude at the wedding of the Zhen clan, and it is expected that they will attend the banquet. But at such a delicate and critical moment, the Chishui Patriarch and the Tushan Patriarch were willing to attend this banquet, which naturally explained everything.
The whole Great Wilderness was boiling, and this was the first time in history that the four families had united and clearly expressed their support for a prince to compete for the throne.
With the statement of the four families and the Yu family, on the thirteenth, the six clans of the Central Plains, in addition to the Fan clan, the rest of the five clans jointly made the east, and invited Zhuan Xuan, and nearly twenty Zhong clans and dozens of small clans went to the banquet.
The Fan family, who had already categorically refused to participate in the banquet, heard about the grand occasion of the banquet, and the patriarch was restless at home, pacing anxiously all the time. At this time, Feng Long secretly asked to see her, and the patriarch of the Fan clan immediately welcomed Feng Long in, and Feng Long did not say much to him, but only told the patriarch of the Fan clan about the Yellow Emperor's question about Zhuan Xuan and Canglin in Luochuan City.
"If you were the Emperor of Xuanyuan Kingdom, how would you treat the clan of the Central Plains?"
Feng Long repeated the answers of Zhen Xuan and Canglin to the patriarch of the Fan clan without moving, and the patriarch of the Fan clan looked stunned after listening. Feng Long said: "Whether it is the personal feud of your eldest man or the fate of the entire Central Plains clan is important, please weigh it carefully." β
After Feng Long finished speaking, he was about to leave, and the patriarch of the Fan clan hurriedly stopped Feng Long: "......What does your father mean?"
Feng Long smiled: "If it weren't for my father, do you think I have the ability to know the content of the private conversation between the Yellow Emperor and Zhuan Xuan and Canglin?" β
After Feng Long left, the patriarch of the Fan clan was stunned for a while, ordered the eldest son to be imprisoned, and took the second son to hurry to the banquet.
That day's banquet was held until late at night, and the question asked by the Yellow Emperor and the answers of Zhu Xuan and Canglin quietly spread among all the Central Plains clans.
The Shennong clan still did not come forward, but now everyone understands that without the secret promotion of the Shennong clan, the leader of the Central Plains, it is impossible for the Central Plains clan to make such a move.
From the Yellow Emperor defeated Shennong and unified the Central Plains to the present, the Central Plains clan has been forced to breathe by the Yellow Emperor, this is the first time that the Central Plains clan has united, with a resolute but firm attitude, to the Yellow Emperor to show their choices and demands.
In the month of Mengxia and a few days of looking at the sun, the Yellow Emperor went to the Zijin Palace to prepare for the sacrifice of the sun.
The Yellow Emperor was old, he was busy for a while in the morning, and after eating, he felt tired and sleepy, so he asked Zhen Xuan and Xiao Yao to go down, and he had to sleep for an hour.
In the secret room, Zhen Xuan and his henchmen knelt on the ground, and they were begging Zhen Xuan to grasp this reality.
Because of the Yellow Emperor's distrust, the original Zijin Palace guards have all been transferred, and now the guards guarding the Zijin Palace are more than 300 guards brought by the Yellow Emperor, and there should be some masters who are hiding in the shadows to protect the Yellow Emperor.
But no matter how many people there are around the Yellow Emperor, here is Shennong Mountain, which has given up everything, made a desperate bet, and has been operating for decades, the army trained by Zhuan Xuan here, there are incomparably loyal henchmen to Zhuan, and there are secret tunnels for secret digging, no matter how fierce and brave the guards around the Yellow Emperor are, they are only familiar with Xuanyuan Mountain, but they are very unfamiliar with the topography of Shennong Mountain.
Although there is the Xuanyuan army outside the mountain, as long as it is unexpected and fast enough, and the situation is controlled before the army gets the news, then the army is not worried, after all, the army is loyal to the Xuanyuan monarch, but the Xuanyuan monarch does not necessarily have to be the Yellow Emperor.
He didn't immediately agree to the henchmen's pleas, but he didn't veto them immediately, just prepared them for all the changes.
In the afternoon, the Yellow Emperor woke up, he recovered some of his spirits, and first summoned Canglin and a few courtiers to listen to Canglin's arrangements for tomorrow. Seeing that everything in Canglin was arranged properly, the Yellow Emperor was in a very good mood, praised Canglin a few words, and meaningfully let Canglin feel at ease After doing his best, he had his own arrangements for everything else.
Canglin, who was worried because of the Fourth Family and the Central Plains Clan, finally breathed a sigh of relief, was very happy, and left happily.
The Yellow Emperor summoned Zhen Xuan and Xiao Yao to see him, and the two of them did not talk about business, but just let them chat with them, Zhen Yao was as good as ever, respectful and quiet, without the slightest abnormality, but Xiao Yao was absent-minded.
The Yellow Emperor joked: "You won't miss that kid from the Chishui clan, right?" We'll see you tomorrow. β
Xiao Yao asked, "Grandpa, how is your body?" β
The Yellow Emperor said: "The answer to this question is what the whole Great Wilderness wants to know, and they all want to know how long I, an old immortal, can live." β
The Yellow Emperor looked at Zhen Xuan and Xiao Yao with a smile: "How long do you want me to live?" β
Zhen said respectfully: "My grandson hopes that grandpa is in good health and can see his wish come true with his own eyes." β
A gleam flashed in the Yellow Emperor's eyes, and he smiled: "No matter what you announce tomorrow, you want me to be healthy?" β
Zhen Xuan replied calmly, "Yes." β
The Yellow Emperor was noncommittal, and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile: "What about you?" β
Xiao Yao said: "You don't trust me, you won't trust me if I say anything, why should I say it?" β
The Yellow Emperor sighed: "I really don't dare to let you heal me if I go first, you go down!" Tomorrow is a busy day, so rest early. β
Xiao Yao pondered as she walked, if combined with the rumors, her grandfather's words could be understood as because she wanted to establish Canglin as the prince, so she didn't dare to let Xiao Yao heal his body, but it was understood that her grandfather had not made the final decision.
Xiao Yao asked in a low voice: "Tomorrow, will grandpa really announce Licang Lin as the prince?" β
"Grandpa's recent behavior is very strange, until the last moment, no one knows what Grandpa wants to do."
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you have any medicine that can make you sleep?" It is best to sleep for twelve hours. β
"Yes." Xiao Yao handed the two pills to Zhen Yao.
Zhen Yan took it: "Go and rest, I need you to be energetic tomorrow!" β
"Good!" Xiao Yao walked to the dormitory.
Seeing Xiao Yao leave, he whispered, "Xiaoxiao." β
Xiaoxiao walked out of the shadows, and handed the two pills to Xiaoxiao: "Give it to Wang Ji." β
"Yes." After Xiaoxiao responded, she immediately disappeared into the darkness again.
Zhen thought silently, no matter what decision Grandpa made, everything would have a result tomorrow night. Xiaoyao, there are very few things my brother can do for you, I don't want you to see the blood of your relatives again!
On the night when the moon of Mengxia and the days of looking at the sun alternated, many people did not close their eyes all night.
Several of his henchmen and Yu Jiang, who commanded the army in Shennong's mountains, could not kneel down, and they begged him to launch a mutiny tonight, so that the Yellow Emperor would not announce the rumored decision tomorrow, and once the world was officially declared Canglin as the prince, he would be in danger. The more clans that support Zhuan, the more Canglin will only want to get rid of Zhuan.
They refused to leave, and the two sides began to stalemate, they kept kneeling, and they sat in silence.
They knew they were persecuting him, but since they decided to follow him, they had put their lives on him, and they couldn't let him miss the opportunity.
It wasn't until the golden rooster crowed that he seemed to wake up and stood up, and Yu Jiang shouted anxiously: "Your Highness, this is the last chance." β
Zhen Xuan said slowly: "I have decided, you all step back." β
"Your Highness......"
Zhen Xuan said to Xiaoxiao: "Serve me to wash and change the sacrificial clothes."
"Yes!"
The Dark Guard asked a few henchmen to leave through the secret passage, and the henchmen looked at Zhen Xuan in bewilderment, they were not ordinary people, and the Zhen Xuan who could convince them was not an indecisive person, they couldn't understand why Zhen Xuan missed the opportunity in front of them.
He stared at them: "I'll tell you to stand down!" β
Under the pressure of the daylight, they slowly lowered their heads and left the secret passage one by one in frustration and confusion.
Zhen Xuan took a bath with ice water, and under the service of Xiaoxiao and Jin Xuan, he changed into the sacrificial dress.
After everything was cleaned up, he was ready to go to the Yellow Emperor. Before leaving, he asked Xiaoxiao, "How is Wang Ji?" β
"After Miao Qing drugged Wang Ji, Wang Ji has been falling asleep."
"Send someone to guard Wang Ji, and if anything happens, immediately escort Wang Ji out of the secret passage."
Xiaoxiao replied respectfully: "Yes! β
When he arrived at the dormitory where the Yellow Emperor lived, Canglin had already arrived and was anxiously waiting outside the hall. He saluted him, but he only snorted coldly, and even forgave himself the hypocrisy of concealment.
He got up silently and waited calmly.
Several chamberlains served the Yellow Emperor and changed into solemn and majestic dresses, and the Yellow Emperor walked out under the escort of the Protoss guards. Cang Lin and Zhu Xuan went up to meet each other left and right, and respectfully saluted the Yellow Emperor, Cang Lin was anxious and uneasy with a heavy flattery, as if he was afraid that the Yellow Emperor would change his mind at the last moment, but Zhu Xuan was calm and waveless, as if this was just an ordinary day.
Canglin and Zhuan accompanied the Yellow Emperor to the altar.
On both sides of the long road under the altar, there were already standing Xuanyuan officials and leaders of various clans, the envoys of Gaoxin, the patriarch of Chishui, the patriarch of Xiling, the patriarch of Tushan, and the envoys of the Guifang clan standing at the forefront.
The great uncle announced that the auspicious time had arrived, and in the sound of the yellow bell, the Yellow Emperor led the civil and military officials, the clans of the world, first worshiped heaven and earth, then worshiped Pangu, and finally worshiped Fuxi, Nuwa, and Emperor Yan.
By the time the long and tedious worship service was over, it was past noon.
The Yellow Emperor stood on the altar, overlooking everyone under the altar, although he was drooping and old, he was still an entrenched tiger flying dragon, and no one under the altar dared to despise this old man.
The old and majestic voice of the Yellow Emperor came out from afar, so that no matter how far away they were standing, they could hear: "Before you came, you should have heard that today is not only a sacrificial ceremony, but I will also announce an important event, what is the important thing you have heard?" β
No one dared to answer.
The Yellow Emperor said: "Is it rumored that I am going to announce the prince today?" β
Everyone's hearts were raised high, and they were all concentrated, lest they miss a word of the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor said: "The rumors you have heard are wrong, today, I will not announce who is the prince." β
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they were faintly relieved that at least they didn't have to face the most terrible outcome today.
Cang Lin and Zhuan Xuan stood on the left and right sides of the Yellow Emperor's lower head, Cang Lin looked at the Yellow Emperor in shock and disappointment, but Zhuan Xuan was still very calm, standing quietly with an expressionless face.
The Yellow Emperor smiled and swept over everyone's faces one by one. He said: "What I want to announce is who will become the king of Xuanyuan today. β
When listening to the first half of the sentence, everyone still did not adjust their emotions from the news that the prince would not be announced today, with a little absent-mindedness, but the second half of the sentence was shocked, everyone was shocked all of a sudden, suspecting that they had heard it wrong, and looked at the people around them hesitantly, seeing that they had the same shocked looks as themselves, and understood that they had heard correctly.
The Yellow Emperor seemed to appreciate the sharp change in the expressions on everyone's faces, and watched with a smile, until everyone was sure that they had heard correctly, and stared at the Yellow Emperor in horror, before the Yellow Emperor said slowly: "Today, we are here to worship Pangu, Fuxi, Nuwa, and Emperor Yan, from the beginning of Pangu to the present, there are countless emperors, but why are only the four of them worthy of worship by the people of the world?" I've been asking myself this question, my life can be described as a handsome horse, bringing peace and happiness to countless people, but also bringing chaos and pain to countless people, when I was in the Chaoyun Palace, I often wondered, when I die, how will the world evaluate me? I said without concealment, I hope that one day, future generations will think that I Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is also worthy of their worship. I still have a lot of things to do, I still have a lot of wishes to fulfill, I want the world to see that I can bring peace and happiness to all my people, I want all races to choose the life they want equally, I want the clans of the Central Plains to love me like the clans of the northwest and southwest, I want to see the sons of untouchables have the opportunity to become big heroes. However, I am getting old, but the Xuanyuan Kingdom is moving towards prosperity, and it needs a new monarch, who should have grand ambitions, sharp minds, broad hearts, and vigorous energy, and only such a monarch can lead the Xuanyuan Kingdom to create new history and new glory. In this world, people only know how to grasp their own desires, and rarely know how to let go in a timely manner. I have groomed the best monarch for Xuanyuan, so I choose to abdicate and let the new monarch fulfill my unfulfilled wishes. β
Everyone looked at the Yellow Emperor, the people who could listen to the Yellow Emperor here were at the top of the power, no one could better understand the meaning of the Yellow Emperor's words than them, many times, it was more difficult to give up power than to give up his own statement, but the Yellow Emperor chose to give up. This man, since he was young, has been surprising the people of the Great Wilderness, and he always does things that everyone thinks are impossible. Today, he shocked everyone again.
The Yellow Emperor looked at Zhuan Xuan and said gently, "Zhuan Xuan, come here." β
Canglin wanted to shout: Father, you are mistaken! But he found that he was bound by invisible pressure, and he couldn't make any sound, so he could only watch in despair and grief as he walked up to the Yellow Emperor and slowly knelt down.
The Yellow Emperor took off the crown on his head and put the crown firmly on his head, who looked up at the Yellow Emperor with faint tears in his eyes.
The Yellow Emperor helped Xuanyuan to stand up, looked at everyone, and announced: "From today on, Xuanyuan Xuanyuan is the king of Xuanyuan Kingdom." Maybe you think I'm too childish, this ceremony is not solemn and grand enough, not like the enthronement of the king of a country at all, but I want you to remember that whether it is Fuxi, Nuwa, or Emperor Yan, there is no decent enthronement ceremony, and the world will not remember a king because of the grand store, the world will only remember him because of what the king has done. β
The Yellow Emperor walked down the steps, perhaps because of a morning of hard work, his steps staggered slightly, and the chamberlain immediately stepped forward to support him. The Yellow Emperor, who had a white beard and temples, held the hand of the attendant, walked down the stairs and walked through the road.
No one announced that he bowed, and the Yellow Emperor had already taken off his crown, but when the Yellow Emperor walked by, with his footsteps, the people on both sides of the road bent their arms one after another, lowered their heads, and automatically knelt for the aging man.
For the first time, these men who stood at the pinnacle of power bowed down to him, not because of his power, but simply because of respect.
This man created one great legend after another, he broke the hierarchy of gods, humans, and demons, and told all races that they were equal; He broke the bloodline of the noble and lowly families, and let all ordinary men understand that there is no impossibility in this world, only if you dare to think or dare to do it, no matter how ordinary a person is, you can become a hero! Now, she's building another legend.
You can hate this man, you can attack him, you can curse him, but even his enemies have to admit that her greatness makes them look up to him.
It wasn't until the figure of the Yellow Emperor disappeared at the end of the corridor that people stood up one after another.
Up and down the altar, there was silence.
Everyone didn't believe it, there was no terrifying bloody rain, no dying struggle waiting, and Zhuan Xuan had ascended the throne so smoothly?
However, he was standing in front of them, looking at them calmly.
Did this young king really have grand ambitions, a sharp mind, a broad heart, and vigorous energy, as the Yellow Emperor said? Can it really lead Xuanyuan to create new history, new miracles, and new glories?
I don't know who knelt down first, but people knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" β
Zhen Yan raised his hand: "Zhongqing, please get up." β
The Yellow Emperor heard the sound of bowing behind him, and he squinted and smiled as he walked.
Many, many years ago, when the Xuanyuan Kingdom was first established, he and his concubine stood on the altar and held a ceremony that did not look like the king's enthronement at all. His brothers are not like these well-educated courtiers now, they can still congratulate in unison, the congratulations of the brothers are scattered, and there is everything to say, a tiger demon who used to be a mountain bandit actually said: "I hope that the king will lead me and other brothers to grab more land in the future, and it is best to help me grab a woman who can give birth." He felt embarrassed, but Grandma didn't care and laughed.
The Yellow Emperor sighed silently, the brothers under the altar and the concubine on the altar were gone, and some people, even after death, were afraid and did not want to see her again. Today, however, he could face them with all his heart, proudly telling them that he had entrusted the kingdom they had created with their own hands to a man who was most suitable.
Grandma, Grandma, it's you and my grandson! He's not just like me, he's like you!
Xiao Yao walked briskly to the Yellow Emperor's side, gestured to the inner servant, the inner servant retreated, and Xiao Yao supported the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor glanced at Xiao Yao with a smile: "From tomorrow, help me heal, I still want to live a little longer." β
"Hmm." Xiao Yao laughed, "Grandpa, you made a miserable mockery of everyone today." β
The Yellow Emperor laughed: "Sometimes it's boring to be an emperor, you have to learn to have some fun for yourself." β
Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Since my grandfather has decided to pass on the throne to my brother a long time ago, why don't you tell my brother?" Why...... You are not afraid to do this, in case my brother ......"
The Yellow Emperor smiled: "You're talking about those elite soldiers hiding in Shennong Mountain, right?" β
Although he knew that the old man next to him was no longer the king of a country, Xiao Yao was still a little stiff, and said hesitantly: "It turns out that grandpa knows everything." β
The Yellow Emperor patted Xiao Yao's hand and said lightly: "No matter what Zhen Yao does, he will be the monarch, and I will abdicate, since the result is the same, it doesn't matter what the process is." β
Xiao Yao was stunned, grandpa didn't mind if he launched a mutiny to seize the throne?
The Yellow Emperor smiled and said: "If he launches a mutiny to seize the throne, it can only mean that I have cultivated him too well, he is very similar to me, and he will definitely be a good monarch who is decisive in killing." However, I am glad that he is not only like me, but also like your grandmother, who has both a decisive side of killing and a kind and tolerant side, and I hope that he can bring more peace to this world. β
Xiao Yao felt that the Yellow Emperor in front of her was not the same as the Yellow Emperor in her memory, but she preferred the current Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor asked, "Where were you just now?" I didn't see you at the sacrificial ceremony, and I thought that I would take you into custody just in case. β
Xiao Yao smiled and stuck out her tongue: "Brother is really the person you cultivated!" Isn't that what he wants? But who am I? He is the bloodline of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and his ancestor Niangniang, and so am I! I'm just going to let him concentrate on his own business and stop worrying about me. β
The Yellow Emperor smiled and shook his head: "What is your plan?" β
"I'm hiding, I, I'm ......" Xiao Yao was cross-hearted and said frankly: "I plan that as long as you declare Canglin as the prince, I will immediately shoot Uncle Canglin." β
The Yellow Emperor sighed: "You are really my bloodline!" β
Xiao Yao stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
The Yellow Emperor said: "Canglin, Yuyang, and your cousins are not bad people, everything is just because of different positions, the battle for the throne has ended, I hope you can look at them differently." β
Xiao Yao nodded hurriedly: "As long as they don't hurt them, I will definitely treat them well." β
The Yellow Emperor said: "Fortunately, Zhuan Xuan is bigger than your heart, and he will definitely be able to accommodate them." β
Xiao Yao asked, "Grandpa, where do you plan to live in the future?" Is it back to Xuanyuan Mountain? β
The Yellow Emperor said: "I can't go back to Xuanyuan Mountain now, I just ascended the throne, and the clans in the Central Plains must all support him, but the clans in the west and north are only afraid of not being convinced, and I will go back to Xuanyuan Mountain now, which will make people feel that there are two monarchs in one country, since I have decided to abdicate, it is abdication!" There is no need to do this kind of thing that makes the courtiers misunderstand and make the subordinates nervous. I will stay in Shennong Mountain, and when I have subdued all the clans, I will consider whether to return to Xuanyuan Mountain. β
"Those clans of Xuanyuan are in the palm of my grandfather's hand, and it's not a matter of grandpa's words!"
"Zhuan Xuan has the ability to subdue the clans of the Central Plains, and he will definitely be able to subdue those clans, after all, he is the grandson of me and Auntie, as long as those clans don't want to betray Xuanyuan Kingdom, they can't betray Xuanyuan. It's just that it is precisely because they are loyal to Xuanyuan that they are not convinced, and they will want to get angry with Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan, and want to rely on the credit to lose face, this is like two children in the family, the boss will be jealous of his parents being good to the second child, and his parents are angry, but have you ever seen the boss jealous of other people's parents who are good to other people's children? β
Xiao Yao nodded, and the Yellow Emperor said: "If you can understand their feelings, resolve their grievances with what you do, and let them really regard him as the monarch, then you can really fall into the Haikou that she boasted in front of me, whether it is Xuanyuan or Shennong, they are all his people, impartial and fair, and he can't be biased towards the clan of the Central Plains because he has meritorious service to him." β
Xiao Yao said: "I have confidence in my brother. β
The Yellow Emperor smiled: "Let's take a slow look at Shennong Mountain to see how he can be a good monarch!" β
After taking care of everything, he immediately rushed back to the Purple Gold Palace to visit the Yellow Emperor.
Hearing the waiter say that Zhen Yao was coming, Xiao Yao walked out of the inner hall and said in a low voice, "Grandpa has rested." β
Zhen Yan looked at Xiao Yao: "You ......"
Xiao Yao glanced at him with disgust: "What am I?" If I'm fascinated by the medicine I've made, that's a big joke. β
Zhen Yao and Xiao Yao walked out of the palace where the Yellow Emperor lived, and walked towards the palace where Zhen Yao lived, Xiao Yao said: "By the way, my grandfather said that you should move to the Qian'an Palace where Emperor Yan lived before. β
Zhen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." β
Xiao Yao smiled: "Congratulations." β
Zhen Xuan said: "Tongxi." β
Xiao Yao asked in a low voice, "Why did you choose to wait?" If grandpa chooses Canglin today, won't you regret it? β
Zhen said: "Every choice is a gambling god, I can only say that I bet right." As for the rest, the dust has settled, and there is no need to say more. β
Xiao Yao said: "Grandpa said that he will not return to Xuanyuan Mountain for the time being, and from tomorrow, I will help him regulate his body." β
Zhen Yan said: "You take good care of grandpa." β
"Yuyang and Qiliang are still in Xuanyuan Mountain, will something happen?"
"Before grandpa came, it had been deployed, Ying Long stayed in Xuanyuan City, I think in the early morning of this day, grandpa had already sent a secret letter to inform Ying Long that he had abdicated, and with half a day, Ying Long would definitely not let Yuyang and them make any trouble. This time, my grandfather inspected the Central Plains and met with several generals who led troops, seemingly knocking on the clans of the Central Plains, but also knocking on the generals in the army, so that they could understand that they were not loyal to any prince, but to the monarch of Xuanyuan. β
"That's good." Xiao Yao was completely relieved.
Zhuan Xuan and Xiao Yao approached the hall, Xiaoxiao, Jin Xuan, and Yujiang...... Everyone was there, and they knelt down towards Zhen Xuan and changed their titles: "Congratulations, Your Majesty." β
He asked them to get up: "Thank you for accompanying me all the way, the future is still difficult, and I still need your full support." β
Everyone smiled, and Yu Jiang said: "The future may be more difficult, but the road before today is the most depressing and darkest road. β
Everyone smiled and nodded, and the maid poured wine for everyone, toasted everyone, and everyone drank a glass together.
Yu Jiang knew that he still had a lot of things to do, so he said goodbye to Zhuan, and the others also said goodbye.
Seeing them leaving, he said to Xiao Yao, "I invited Feng Leong and them to the party, and you can also come and drink two cups, so as to save Feng Leong from complaining." β
Xiaoxiao and Jin Xuan both laughed, and Jin Xuan said, "Since the engagement, Wang Ji hasn't seen the Chishui patriarch, right?" β
"I'm going to change my clothes." Xiao Yao smiled and ran away.
Under the service of Xiaoxiao and Jin Xuan, Zhuan Xuan changed out of the daytime dress and changed into a set of regular clothes after bathing.
When everything was cleaned up, the waiter came to play, Fenglong and they had arrived, and he sent someone to call Xiao Yao.
When Zhen Xuan approached the hall with Xiao Yao, there were already five people sitting on the seat, the first on the left was the Chishui patriarch Feng Long, next to her was Xin Yue, the right was the Tushan patriarch Jing, and the seat next to him was Xiling Chun, and next to Xiling Chun was Shuhui's eldest brother Shutong.
Seeing Zhuan, everyone stood up, Zhuan Xuan walked over, sat on the top seat in the middle, and subconsciously beckoned Xiao Yao to sit next to him.
In the past, it was normal to sit in front of the same table with Zhuan Yao, but now it is not as good as before, Xiao Yao didn't want to sit on an equal footing with Zhuan Xuan in front of everyone, and said to the waiter: "Add a table and put it next to Xinyue." β
No one else said anything, and Xinyue smiled: "Why bother? You just sit next to your brother. β
Several people looked at Feng Long and Xiao Yao and smiled, but Jing and Zhen Xiao lowered their eyes and looked at the wine vessel on the case.
Xiao Yao lowered his head and didn't speak, Feng Long stared at Xinyue, Xinyue smiled, and didn't make fun of Xiao Yao again.
After Xiao Yao sat down, Feng Long coughed, made a serious appearance, and said to Zhen Yao, "The people of the Ghost Fang Clan have left. The Ghost Fang Clan has always been very secretive and doesn't get involved much in the Great Wilderness, so ...... Don't be surprised. β
Zhen said: "How can you meet the strange? They've helped me a lot, and I know their way of doing things. β
Zhen Xuan stood up, raised his wine glass and said to the people present: "Don't say anything superfluous, all in all, thank you!" After he had drunk it all, he shook it all at all.
Everyone also stood up, drank the wine in their cups, and returned the salute.
He sat down, and everyone sat down one after another.
Feng Long smiled: "What happened these days is really ups and downs, unexpected, and I feel like I'm dreaming now." β
Shutong said with a smile: "You have been a patriarch again, and you have been married, it is indeed a sweet dream one after another, no wonder you are still reluctant to wake up." β
Chun and Xinyue laughed, Feng Long glanced at Xiao Yao, and it happened that Xiao Yao was also looking at him, Feng Long couldn't help laughing.
Because the overall situation was finally decided, everyone was in a happy mood, talking and laughing while drinking, and before they knew it, several jars of wine were gone.
I don't know how much Jing drank, the first one was drunk, Chun was also drunk, and shouted to listen to Jing play the piano, Jing didn't refuse, and raised his voice: "Bring the piano!" β
The waiter held the piano, Jing stroked the piano and played, the tune was familiar, it was the song that Xiao Yao sang and danced for Jing, Fenglong and Xinyue in the woods forest.
None of the others had heard of it and didn't care, Shutong also smiled: "I knew that if I was drunk, I could hear him play the qin, and we would have drunk him a long time ago." β
Xiaoyao, Xinyue, and Fenglong are all a little different.
Xinyue saw Feng Long's face getting more and more ugly and said, "Brother Jing, you are drunk, stop playing!" β
Jing couldn't hear anything, and his mind was all immersed in the music. After parting, there are thousands of lovesickness, there is nowhere to complain, only after getting drunk, can you see you in the piano song.
Remove the lingering mourning, which makes the listener almost want to cry.
Shutong and Chun also gradually felt that something was wrong, and they no longer laughed.
Feng Long slammed his palm, and a water blade flew by, cutting the piano in half.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, but Jing stood up without caring and walked towards Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao took the wine glass: "Jing, drink it." β
Jing looked at Xiao Yao, laughed, took the wine, and drank it without hesitation, just like back then.
Jing passed out drunken and collapsed on the table.
"That's all for tonight's banquet!" Jing has some troubles at home, and he is drunk and out of shape, so please bear with me. β
Chun and Shutong both expressed their understanding, got up to say goodbye, and left together.
Feng Long angrily dragged Jing up and took him away, but Xinyue hesitated and fell last.
Xiao Yao caught up with Feng Long: "Feng Long, Feng Long!" β
Feng Long stopped, and Xiao Yao looked at his face: "Are you still angry?" β
"My anger comes and goes quickly! I knew he was drunk, it was unintentional, but ......"
"Just what?"
Feng Long was a little dazed: "When Jing went to attend the ceremony of my succession to the patriarch, I told him that you had agreed to marry me, and he congratulated me, I thought he had let go, but tonight, he was so drunk that he lost his temper. I've known him since I was a kid and I've never seen him like this. I'm your fiancΓ©, but I just have a sense of guilt that I robbed him of his beloved things. β
Xiao Yao looked at the unconscious Jing: "Don't think so. β
Feng Leong said: "I understand. Xiaoyao, are you really willing to marry me? β
Xiao Yao looked at Feng Long: "Do you feel embarrassed and regret it?" β
Feng Long hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, don't get me wrong, I know how to deal with Jing's affairs, I'm afraid that you will regret it after listening to Jing's piano tonight." β
Xiao Yao said: "I don't regret it, I have been wandering since I was a child, it seems that I am drifting with the tide, very free, but in fact, I am really tired of the days of wandering, I want to stop." But the people I have met, there are powerless hearts, powerful heartlessness, only you are willing to provide me with a harbor, let me stop, thank you! β
"Xiao Yao......" Feng Long wanted to touch Xiao Yao's cheek and stroke away the sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes, but it can be seen that he has no courage to use Fengyue, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as you don't regret it, I will never regret it." β
Xiao Yao laughed, and Feng Long laughed too.
Feng Long said: "I see that Xinyue will be tired of your brother for a while, so I won't wait for her, and take Jing back first." I'm going to rush back to Chishui tomorrow, and if I suddenly succeed to the throne, the clan will definitely be caught off guard, and I have to go back and arrange all the affairs.
Xiao Yao said: "Be careful on the road. β
Feng Leong scratched his head: "Do you have anything you want?" I'll bring it to you the next time I come to see you. β
Xiao Yao said: "Your safety is the best gift, don't bother to take care of me, now that my brother has just succeeded to the throne, there are a lot of people who are not convinced, you still have a lot of things to deal with, you can be busy with your business!" β
Feng Leong happily said, "Then I'll go." β
Xiao Yao watched the clouds disappear into the sky, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
It's a strange thing like a gift, and once you ask for it, everything will change its taste. In fact, the gift is not what the thing is, but the heart of the giver, if you really put a person in your heart, you will naturally want to share the bits and pieces of life with him, so a wild flower, a stone can be a gift.
Xiao Yao leaned on the railing, looking at the starry sky, and suddenly remembered the days of Qingshui Town, countless hot summer nights, they sat on the bamboo mat to enjoy the shade, Lao Mu, pockmarks, and skewers pulled back and forth, Seventeen sat next to her silently, she always gnawed on the duck's neck, while drinking green plum wine, very happy.
At that time, the only suffering in life was Sangyanagi.
The days of Qingshui Town are too far away to be touched, but they have always been vivid in her memory. Xiao Yao couldn't help but wet the corners of her eyes.
