Chapter 44: The Queen Mother of the Heavenly Realm
In the misty corridor, Zhige and Liwu walked side by side, and from time to time there were priests and maids walking past them, bowing down.
Soon, they walked to Yaochi, and looked at the lotus flowers blooming on both sides of the corridor, and their breath was full of refreshing fragrance.
As a demon king and a future demon emperor, Zhi Ge is busy with government affairs or wars in the demon world on weekdays, and has not been to the god realm much. To be correct, she only came to the divine realm once with the demon emperor Yan Dan when she was more than two hundred years old, and that time was to participate in the peach festival of the Queen of Heaven, except for the human world, the emperors and leaders of the other five realms were invited to participate, but that time Liwu unexpectedly did not come to the meeting, therefore, after the first meeting between Zhige and Liwu since the coming-of-age ceremony of the young man of mind eight hundred years ago, the goodbye was to go to Zhaoyao Mountain to pass the decree to Zhige by the edict of the Emperor of Heaven.
Smelling the intoxicating fragrance of lotus flowers, Zhi Ge suddenly remembered that this was the Yao Chi of the Queen Mother, so he asked Li Wei strangely: "Shouldn't we go to the Tongming Hall to meet the Emperor of Heaven when we come to the Heavenly Realm?
Li Wei replied lightly: "My mother heard that you are coming to the God Realm, and I want to see you first." β
What is the queen mother doing? Is this the legendary ugly daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law?
Zhi Ge suddenly didn't know what expression to use to deal with the next situation.
Li Wei chuckled, naturally took Zhi Ge's hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will always be by your side later." β
"Who's worried!" Zhi Ge shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be nothing, urging him to leave the worry and hurry away.
After the transmission, Zhi Ge entered the outer hall of Yaochi with the sorrow, on the long couch of the palace platform, there was a jeweled, graceful and luxurious woman sitting at the end, Zhi Ge saw it, and knew that it was the queen mother.
When the Queen Mother saw the two of them entering hand in hand, her eyes looked around Zhi Ge, and then stopped on her hand that was being held by Li Wei.
After being stunned for a moment, the queen mother's bright red lips hooked up a gorgeous smile, and said to the two people in the audience: "This palace has never seen my son Liwu so close to a woman, Zhige, it seems that you are really the person you like from worrying." β
When Zhi Ge heard this, he also lowered his head to look at the two hands of different sizes that she was holding with Liwu, and then looked up at Liwu with a calm face, and was silent.
Mother Wang beckoned to Zhi Ge and said, "Zhi Ge, come close, let the palace take a closer look." β
Zhi Ge asked about the worries with his eyes, and when he saw that he nodded slightly and agreed, he let go of his hand and walked slowly towards the queen mother sitting on the platform of the palace.
When he was still a few steps away from the Queen Mother, he stopped bowing to the Queen Mother, and when he raised his head, the Queen Mother stretched out her left hand painted with red kodan to her, and Zhi Ge had to get up and walk to the Queen Mother again, until he held the Queen Mother's hand with long nails.
With a little force in her hand, the queen mother pulled Zhige closer, stared at her face and looked at her carefully, and after a while, she seemed to appreciate it and said with satisfaction: "Well, although I am a little heroic, I also look like a wonderful person." Worry, you have a good vision. β
The audience smiled faintly and nodded slightly to the queen mother.
The queen mother looked at Zhi Ge, who had been smiling reservedly, and said: "It's late today, the emperor said that you will go to the Tongming Hall tomorrow to be enlightened, it just so happens that there is still some time today, and our mother and wife can discuss your marriage date first." I heard that you want to become a new god before you get married?"
Still smiling reservedly, Zhi Ge nodded.
The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, and she asked suspiciously, "Why is this? Isn't it the same sooner or later? Don't you want to marry my son as soon as possible?"
"Of course not. Zhi Ge stubbornly began to make up nonsense, "Niang Niang Mingjian, Zhi Ge is just young, and I don't know how much time it will take to become a new god, maybe it will take 1,800 years, so setting the wedding date as soon as possible will delay His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"Hey, this Protoss has a long life, 1,800 years is just a blink of an eye for the Protoss, and you are so interested in worrying, you must be willing to wait. Besides, the eldest son of this palace is a person who admits death, and he will always like what he likes since he was a child, and you don't have to worry about him being emotionally changeable, you can rest assured, my son is really a person worthy of being entrusted for life. The Queen Mother patted Zhi Ge's hand and persuaded gently and patiently.
This king is worried that he will not be able to stand the temptation of beauty, and one day he will empathize with him, and when the time comes, let a dignified prince of the god realm bring a green hat, and then the demon world and the god realm will be married.
Besides, although she is only 800 years old, she can't be said to know anything about feelings. I still remember that when she was young and young, she still had true feelings for Ao Jing, the prince of the West Sea, although their love ended without a problem, but she still remembered the feeling of her heart at that time. As for Liwu, it seems that there are only two or three heart-beating moments when facing him, and it is the kind of bipolar reaction that the heart beats very fast or feels like the heart stops beating directly, can this be regarded as her falling in love with Liwu?
Zhi Ge thought and doubted in his mind, and his eyebrows wrinkled even tighter.
The audience didn't speak for a long time, so she calmly replied to her mother: "Mother, anyway, my father has already hired the demon emperor, and the marriage date is the same as the early and late dates, and the sons respect the idea of stopping Ge." β
The queen mother listened to the worries and maintained the Zhige, but she was unwilling to give in, but instead instructed the worries and said: "You are cold to everyone on weekdays, and the people around you are all men, how can you understand the minds of girls, according to the palace, Zhige is just a girl's thin-skinned, a little prevarication, how do you know that you believe it, now the palace is in charge of your two children, these two days will choose a good day and auspicious day, and the wedding date will be set, Zhige, you say it is good?"
Zhi Ge looked up at the Queen Mother in shock, but felt that there was a trace of indescribable calculation hidden under the kind eyes of the Queen Mother when she looked at her, Zhi Ge lowered his eyes and thought about it, slowly withdrew the hand held by the Queen Mother, and replied to the Queen Mother respectfully: "Hui Niangniang, I dare not make a decision on the major marriage matters, and I have to go back to the demon world to ask my father's opinion." β
"Really?" the Queen Mother smiled slightly, "In that case, it is not easy for the palace to force each other anymore." Leave the worries, Zhige is your fiancΓ©e, and you still have to take good care of her in the two days of the heavenly realm, so it is better to let her live in your Zisheng Palace. β
Li Wu replied: "Erchen has this intention. β
Having said this, Zhi Ge bowed and got off the temple with interest, wanting to leave with his worries.
"I heard that you worshipped the Jade Venerable Qingnu of Qingyao as your teacher, your master, how is she?"
A lazy and somewhat majestic voice sounded, Zhi Ge turned to look at the queen mother who was squinting at her on the throne, raised her hand and replied respectfully: "The family teacher is fine, Xie Niangniang is worried." β
When he got out of Yaochi, Zhi Ge felt that the eyes mixed with complicated hatred were still behind him, and they never dispersed.
This queen mother is really a person who can't guess her mind!
But why did she just ask about Master? With such eyes, such feelings, did there ever a festival between the Queen Mother and Master?
Zhi Ge lowered his eyes, and he knew what she was thinking, but there were some things that he hoped she would never know.
That night, Zhi Ge stayed in the side hall of Zisheng Palace, and early tomorrow morning, she would go to meet the Emperor of Heaven with her worries, and let the Emperor enlighten her.
I couldn't sleep at night, so I wanted to come to the yard to admire the moon.
Opening the door, under the bright moonlight, a man in dark blue clothes was sitting on a small table in the courtyard, drinking and admiring the moon alone. The moonlight was bright, and the moonlight sprinkled softly on the man's face, exuding a softer afterglow, slightly neutralizing the man's cold temperament.
Such a beautiful scenery is really a beautiful scroll in the sky.
It's just that this scene looks familiar. Zhi Ge remembered that night in Zhaoyao Mountain, the moonlight was just right, she walked to the small courtyard of Liwu, and it happened to be under the moonlight to see Liwu playing chess alone, and then when she played against her, Liwu smiled twice, and made her heart tremble twice.
Thinking about it this way, starting from the swaggering mountain, it seems that the number of times I leave the sorrow and laughter has increased.
Zhi Ge closed the door, paced to the small table, sat quietly opposite the sorrow, held his cheeks, looked at the moon in the sky, and began to enjoy the moon leisurely.
Li Wu looked at the rare gentle and demure Zhige in front of him, and slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.
Beauty admires the moon, he appreciates beauty.
Now that Zhi Ge came to the heavenly realm as his fiancΓ©e, he changed into the women's clothes sewn by the green girl for her before leaving, and the green woman is gentle, and the women's clothes she makes are mostly in soft colors such as light pink and light green, and now Zhi Ge is wearing a light cyan gauze skirt, plus she no longer ties her hair up like a man, but lets the green silk be draped softly on her back, which makes her more soft and feminine as a little daughter.
Beautiful and charming, charming and elegant. This kind of stop made Li Wei quietly watch it for a long time.
After a long time, Zhi Ge had a faint smile on his lips, and turned his head to Li Wei and said, "I don't know what the Guanghan Palace in the Heavenly Realm is like. β
Li Wei blinked slightly, quickly concealed his obsessive demeanor just now, and replied with a smile: "Guanghan Palace is empty and cold, only Fairy Guanghan and a jade rabbit she raised live there for a long time. β
"Didn't you say that there was a Wu Gang who made a mistake and was punished to cut down laurel trees in Guanghan Palace?"
"That was tens of thousands of years ago, Wu Gang was only fined for a thousand years, and he went back very early. β
Zhi Ge nodded, and asked with bright eyes: "I heard that Fairy Guanghan is the most beautiful woman in the heavenly realm, but is it true?"
Li Wu knows that Zhige loves beauty the most, no matter men or women, as long as they are good-looking, she likes them. He replied with a doting smile: "Yes, the Guanghan Fairy is beautiful, but she has a cold temperament, and she is not very close to anyone. β
"Ah, isn't that very similar to my master?" As soon as Zhi Ge heard Li Wu say this, he thought of the Frost Fairy Qingnu in the Qingyao Mountain Bingqing Pavilion who always kept a light smile in front of outsiders.
"It's a bit similar, but Yuzun is cold on the outside and warm on the outside, she is very affectionate with you and her two senior brothers, and it is still different from the Guanghan Fairy who has always been cold. Thinking of the young girl, he replied seriously.
"Well, it's a little different. My master has never had much contact with the Divine Realm, so why did your queen mother just ask about her today?"
Zhi Ge raised her eyebrows, her face was no longer the leisure and quiet she had just now, she was waiting for an answer from her worries.
The moonlight is cold, just like Zhi Ge's current cold look.
has been with Qingnu for so many years, and her cold temperament at the moment is very similar to Qingnu. He smiled self-deprecatingly.
