Chapter 42: Extras (3)
Rows of worry-free trees hold a continuous night pearl, and the courtyard is full of light and shadow. Bao Yueguang Yuan was already crowded with people at this time.
The newly promoted little immortals' reverence and yearning for the Nine Heavens are all overflowing, and they have a strong curiosity about what they see and hear. Several people gathered together, and one of them said: "When I left the Qingyun Hall today, I remember seeing a team of honor guards from a distance with great pomp, and the women in the honor guards had a beautiful complexion. The other chimed in: "I have seen it too, speaking of which, when I was in the mortal world, I really had never seen a woman with such a description, although I am not a woman, I have to say that it is really beautiful." ”
When a person next to him heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "Shhh, stop, stop, I heard that the Heavenly Monarch and the Emperor are both tightly protected, and they can't tolerate others saying a word about their own wife, and it's not okay to praise too much, no matter who that person is, be cautious." Several people looked at each other and stopped. When Feng Jiu and the emperor arrived, they happened to listen to the whole process, and then they remembered that there was an annoying lord waiting here, and suddenly lost most of their interest, and sat behind a tall and lush carefree tree with a cold face, and the shadow of the tree fell down, flashing with a dappled and soft light.
Donghua sat down a little helplessly, picked up an orange and peeled it. Peeled it halfway, thought about it, raised his hand and turned out a dagger, and handed it to Feng Jiu, "I'll see if anyone doesn't like it later, throw it out." ”
Feng Jiu finally had some reaction, raised his eyes and glanced at the dagger, the blade was not big, the whole body was dark gray, the texture of the handle was complex, only a dark blue gem was inlaid at the bottom, the blade was sharp, even in the soft light of the night pearl, it also glowed with a cold and cold light, Feng Jiu's eyesight was excellent, and he clearly saw that the dagger was lying quietly in the emperor's hand like this, and the air around the blade was faintly fluctuating, a good weapon! A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt, for a while, her mouth was open enough to stuff an egg, she pointed to the dagger and looked at the emperor, her tongue knotted and said: "This, this is ......"
The emperor looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The ancient history is so good, you should know it." ”
Feng Jiu took it with surprise, looked at it carefully for a while, and held it in his hand and gestured a few times, this size is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat, it is said that it contributed a lot when the emperor fought hand-to-hand.
Donghua suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered, "Do you like it?" ”
Feng Jiu said without thinking: "I like it!" ”
Donghua chuckled, "Then I'll send you." ”
Feng Jiu looked at him in surprise, "Send me?" Seriously? Didn't this dagger follow you for hundreds of thousands of years and never leave you......"
Donghua said calmly: "Mine is not yours, so naturally take it seriously." Looking at her, a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes, "Throw it on time later, it's very sharp." ”
Feng Jiu: "......"
At the beginning of the banquet, it was no different from usual, Feng Jiu's mind was on the divine soldiers in hand, and he couldn't put it down, so he didn't pay much attention to the singing and dancing in the field.
"Hmm, the dagger is good."
Feng Jiu turned around and saw His Royal Highness Lian San standing behind her at some point, looking at the things in her hands with a smile. Cheng Yu came over and couldn't help but admire: "Good blade!" ”
The Third Highness said: "Well, it's not a problem to turn a human slice into a squirrel mandarin fish." ”
Feng Jiu shook the dagger in front of his eyes, and agreed: "The Third Highness has a good idea, I'll try it tomorrow, if it succeeds, send it to the Yuanji Palace for the Third Highness to taste." ”
Lian Song shook his fan, "I've been cultivating myself and eating vegetarian recently, and I'm still good at it, right?" ”
Si Ming waved his hand again and again and said: "Hehe, the Third Highness said that the little immortal is a living life, not a dead life, this squirrel mandarin fish made of human flesh is really unblessed, unblessed." ”
Feng Jiu snorted and laughed, but did not tease him again. After several people sat down unceremoniously beside the emperor under the Three Highnesses, they also sat down one after another.
The Third Highness glanced at Feng Jiu's face, slapped Donghua with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the Lord of Nanqiong is coming to marry you with his daughter, what are you going to do about this?" ”
Donghua said lightly: "Xiaobai has already seen her today, and she is angry with me." ”
Lian Song suddenly laughed, "Did you make your Xiaobai angry?" Nanqiong, the old man, has become more and more confused in recent years, his daughter is indeed arrogant, but in the end, it is understandable that she is young. ”
Donghua looked at him a little inexplicably, "Young? Xiaobai is 20,000 years younger than her. ”
Lian Song: "It's true, but it's rare to be so sensible at your age." ”
Donghua interrupted him: "Are you here to intercede for her as a lobbyist?" ”
Lian Song closed the fan and said hesitantly: "Well, the lobbyist can't talk about it, but Yehua heard that Wanjiao seems to have offended Feng Jiu today, and wants me to discuss with you, can you save some face for Nanqiong's old man." ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Donghua's eyes, and he said coldly: "If he dares to hit me with his idea, he should be ready to bear the consequences." ”
Somehow, it was obviously a calm tone, but even Song heard the surging anger of the ancient battlefield of the Flood Wilderness, and silently stirred up in his heart, and said in his heart, Old man Nanqiong, you can't even teach your daughter well, it seems that the position of the lord of Nanqiong is also about to come to the end.
Halfway through the singing and dancing of the banquet, a rain of flowers suddenly fell, and the red petals were scattered in all directions, exuding a faint fragrance. There is a person who fell from the sky, dancing with light sleeves and a graceful posture, although there is Bai Qian, the first stunning town in the world, but against the backdrop of such a scene, it still makes these little immortals who have not seen many battles unable to take their eyes off.
Cheng Yu pursed his lips with some disdain, "There are some means, knowing that they are not as good as others, so they spend some thoughts." ”
Feng Jiu recognized that the dancer in it was Wanjiao. She pursed her lips and didn't speak. Donghua held her hand, and a burst of warmth came from her palm, Feng Jiu thought about it and didn't pull it out.
After the dance, the sounds of praise around her were endless, and she hooked her lips proudly, and her eyes fell on the lush Sanssouci tree. She had already seen the emperor sitting there, but she didn't expect that the person sitting next to him was actually a fairy who had been disrespectful to her before. It's strange that she has such a look, it turns out that she is Bai Fengjiu, the female monarch of Qingqiu. Wanjiao's fingers clenched a little. I heard her say today that she wants to go back to cook for her husband, and her status in the palace is not very high, and she is not much favored by the emperor, otherwise how can the emperor be willing to let her work hard to cook? However, if her skills are good, she can let her do something for herself from time to time after entering the Taichen Palace in the future, thinking so, her clenched fingers loosened a little.
Wanjiao gave a salute to Yehua and Bai Qian, and a person walked out next to her, although her hair was white, her voice was like a bell, and she saluted together, and said loudly: "I have seen the Heavenly Monarch, the Queen of Heaven." ”
Yehua raised his hand, "Two of you are exempt." ”
The lord of Nanqiong is a cheerful temper and doesn't like to beat around the bend, so he said: "I haven't been to the Nine Heavens for many years, this time, I don't hide it from the Heavenly Monarch, the old minister is for the marriage of the little girl." Wanjiao is my favorite daughter, and the most gifted of my children, and I intend to choose a suitable husband for her, and I will pass on the position of Lord of Nanqiong to her after she is feathered. ”
There were a few gasps around, and in the wilderness, although Nanqiong was small, he had a very high status, and he could inherit the position of the lord of Nanqiong, which was on an equal footing with the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu.
Feng Jiu's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and his smiling eyes swept over Donghua, as if to say, look, your future father-in-law's hand is still quite big.
Donghua's face was still faint, and he couldn't see anything.
The lord of Nanqiong suddenly turned around and bowed in his direction, "Emperor, the little girl has been concerned about the emperor for a long time, although the old minister knows that the emperor already has a wife, but the daughter's wish Lao Chen really can't bear to refuse, and hopes that the emperor will be fulfilled." ”
There was a sound of squirming below, and a whisper that was unfamiliar with these characters asked, "This old immortal is asking for marriage and passing on the throne, is he trying to tempt the emperor to divorce his wife and marry another?" The other patted him on the arm, "Don't talk nonsense, the emperor is the female monarch of Qingqiu, how noble, if the emperor divorces his wife, won't he offend Qingqiu?" How could the Fox Emperor give up? A person next to him touched his chin and speculated: "I think, since the two goddesses are so noble, then they should have equal wives, and the fish and bear's paws can have both, and the gods are a great blessing." ”
This statement won the approval of the people around them, and obviously, Nanqiong's father and daughter thought the same, and looked at the emperor with eager eyes.
After a long time, Donghua's somewhat puzzled voice floated from behind the tree, "What does your daughter's wish have to do with this gentleman?" ”
Old Qiong's face turned pale, "Emperor, it is common for the Heavenly Clan to have a group of male concubines, and there is only one emperor and queen in your harem......"
Donghua's somewhat lazy voice interrupted him: "Benjun has already entered Qingqiu when he married the emperor and queen, so he can't be regarded as a celestial clan, and the custom of Qingqiu is that he has a couple for a lifetime, so Benjun's harem can only be the emperor and queen alone." After a pause, "If you have to find someone to marry, why don't you ask Tianjun, his harem is also alone." ”
Bai Qian's eyebrows jumped and he gritted his teeth.
Lian Song's hand holding the teacup trembled, glanced upward, and said nothing.
There was an uproar. How could the emperor get into trouble? Why do you admit that you are in trouble so lightly?
Lao Qiong's face froze, "This ......" He never expected that the emperor would take him here. This put him in a dilemma. If he turned to ask Tianjun at this time, wouldn't the daughter's face be even more preservable, he looked at Wanjiao, only to see her biting her lip tightly, staring at the direction of the worry-free tree with resentful eyes, the old Qiong Lord coughed lightly to remind her to pay attention to her demeanor, she came back to her senses, and after a while, she said quietly: "Bai Liri didn't know that this was the Fengjiu Female Monarch of Qingqiu, how much offense, but I didn't want to let the female monarch have such a deep bitterness for me, so that the emperor rejected me."
Wanjiao made amends to the female monarch here, and asked the female monarch to tolerate Haihan regardless of her past suspicions. ”
After a few words, it was clear that Feng Jiu slandered in front of the emperor because of his unhappiness during the day, and the emperor's impression of her was greatly discounted to be so unsympathetic, and she called her a female monarch, on the one hand, implying that she did not have the bearing of a monarch, and on the other hand, she was unwilling to admit the fact that she was the emperor's wife.
Sure enough, there was another flurry in the field. People who take the initiative to show weakness are always prone to arouse more unexplained sympathy.
Feng Jiu swept the dagger in his hand, and Cheng Yu said with some anger on the side: "What a mouth that tells right and wrong, just shoot it, you're welcome!" ”
Donghua supported his cheek with his right hand, nodded in agreement: "Well, you're welcome." ”
Si Ming couldn't help but squirt out all the tea after taking a sip of tea.
Lian Song: ......
Feng Jiu looked at Wanjiao, who was a little proud on the stage, bent her lips and smiled, Bai Qianzhi understood, half accusatory and half persuaded: "Wanjiao Fairy is the first to come to Jiuzhongtian, I don't know that you are also ordinary, what do you do to embarrass others?" Our Qingqiu has always been easy and peaceful, although you are young, you are already a monarch, you must remember. ”
Feng Jiu nodded and said, "Aunt taught me a lesson." Today is indeed not the friendship of the landlord, did not take the Wanjiao fairy to see the prosperous scenery of the nine heavens, tomorrow if the fairy does not give up, I personally sent Xian'e to take the fairy to visit. ”
Explain the cause and effect clearly, and everyone is naturally speechless. Before Wanjiao could say anything, the emperor took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Since you are here to marry, blind date is the right thing." The emperor and I are not from the Heavenly Clan, so it is naturally not easy to do anything, so Lord Qiong might as well bother the Queen of Heaven to look at each other on behalf of the young talents of the Heavenly Clan. ”
Seeing that the ball was kicked back again, Bai Qian was willing to take it this time, and smiled generously, "Why bother, why bother, Wanjiao Fairy has such qualifications, this palace is very happy, and it will be arranged properly tomorrow." ”
The old man of Nanqiong blushed and said hurriedly: "The queen of heaven is ......."
Tianjun spoke at the right time: "Lord Qiong rest assured, the Queen of Heaven is hot, and this matter will be handled properly." "With a wave of his hand, a fairy came up with a wine altar," a few days ago, the god sent Benjun two altars of peach blossoms drunk, Benjun borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, just invited the old Qiong lord to taste with this gentleman, and also invited Qiong lord and the princess to sit down. ”
Tianjun had already spoken, and Lao Qiong decided that there was no reason to stand any longer, he nodded yes, and dragged his daughter back to the seat. Wanjiao stared at Feng Jiu with resentment in her eyes, Feng Jiu suddenly felt that she was very innocent, obviously it was not her own fault, but she was born into her own pot, and a grievance aggrieved in her heart, she looked at the emperor aggrievedly. Her expression made Donghua's heart suddenly tighten, and there was still some astringent pain, he took her hand, only said "go", then ignored the surprised expressions of others, and took Feng Jiu to take care of himself.
