CHAPTER XIII

The winter sun rises lazily above the horizon, and the birds on the branches flutter their wings like a flutter of joy, and the petals of a tree flutter down, and occasionally two or three petals poke into the open window lattice, and fall on the turquoise windowsill. Feng Jiu was wielding a spatula in the kitchen, she didn't have to go to the sect today, she wanted to make a hearty breakfast for Emperor Jun and Rolling Roll. There is no snow in the winter of Qinggaoka, and the four seasons are divided, but the inflorescences change from season to season. Feng Jiu served the meal and a few delicate pastries, brought them to the small pavilion in the garden outside the house, and called the emperor father and son who were reading in the morning to prepare breakfast. As soon as I put a piece of red bean cake in my mouth, I heard the voice of the valley outside the door, please see the emperor. Feng Jiu answered, and after a while, Migu took Chonglin into the garden.

Chonglin gave a salute and said to the emperor, the heavenly monarch sent someone to the Taichen Palace and asked him to enter the heavenly palace today to discuss matters. Feng Jiu was stunned for a moment, and before Donghua could speak, he blurted out and asked, "Please discuss the matter with the emperor?" Tianjun, didn't he wake up? The emperor glanced at her, turned his head to Chonglin and said, "You go back to the Heavenly Monarch first, and say that I will arrive at the hour." ”

Chonglin received the order, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu glanced at the emperor and said with a smile: "I made a few more pastries today, you came from Jiuzhong Heaven early in the morning to send a message to the emperor, presumably you won't have time to eat breakfast, you take these cakes back and eat them on the way." As he spoke, he picked up a few delicious pastries and put them into the sugar packets that he had turned out casually, and reached out to hand them to him, Chonglin glanced at the emperor in fear, Donghua raised his hand and motioned for him to take it, and he hurriedly took three or two steps over to take the sugar packets handed to him by Feng Jiu.

Chonglin was moved with tears in his eyes, afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions, and after bowing deeply to Feng Jiu, he hurriedly turned around and drove the auspicious clouds back to the Nine Heavens.

Feng Jiu looked at the auspicious clouds in the sky for a while, and was very puzzled in his heart, why did Tianjun suddenly want to discuss with Donghua? Donghua has been hiding from the world for more than 100,000 years, and he is idle on weekdays and does not ask about the world, and concentrates on tinkering with his own interests. What would be serious enough to counsel with him? She turned her head to look at Donghua, wanting to ask the doubts in her heart, her eyes were meeting him in mid-air, the emperor looked at her very attentively, and his focused appearance has always been very good-looking. Feng Jiu's words were stuck in his throat, and he only cared about admiring the emperor's stunning handsomeness. Well, when he's focused on her, he's the best looking.

Rolling was looked at by his father and his mother, and he couldn't eat. He deliberately made a sound from the cup, and Feng Jiu came back to his senses, but forgot what he wanted to ask just now. Glancing back at him, he put a cake in his bowl, "This one is salty, and it has your favorite licorice added to it." He put a piece of cake in the emperor's bowl, "I added a little lemon to this, and it has a faint fragrance." Donghua smiled a little at the end of his eyes, picked up the cake and took a bite, and sure enough, there was the fragrance of lemon.

After eating the cake in his hand, the emperor said softly: "You don't have to wait for me to eat at noon, I will come back before dinner." Feng Jiu suddenly remembered what he wanted to say just now, and looked at the emperor: "Heavenly Monarch, how could he think of talking to you, is there something wrong?" Donghua pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It is estimated that it has something to do with the Ghost Wu Clan." They seem to have been more active lately, and they have a lot of contact with demons. Feng Jiu just wanted to ask more details, but suddenly spoke: "Father, can you take me with you?" He looked at the emperor expectantly, which was even more reverent than looking forward to a birthday present.

The emperor glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, you can go with me." Feng Jiu originally wanted to follow, but she knew that after all, she was the female monarch of Qingqiu, and it was better for her not to participate in the deliberations of the Heavenly Clan, anyway, what she wanted to know, she could always know.

After breakfast, the emperor and Rolling Pian tidied up a little and went to the Nine Heavens together. Feng Jiu sat under the worry-free tree in the front yard, pouring himself tea, looking at the Buddha Ling flowers planted by Donghua himself, and the flowers were very beautiful. There was something in my mind that I was thinking about without a match, and a figure suddenly appeared in the corner of my eye, which was the second time I appeared in the valley today. Seeing his hurried appearance, Feng Jiu thought, it seems that another distinguished guest is coming. What is an auspicious day of the zodiac? It's so lively. Sure enough, Migu said that the Demon Lord Yan Chiwu was outside the valley and wanted to see her. Well, sure enough, today is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

Xiao Yan, who was invited into the valley on the auspicious day of the zodiac, did not look like the refreshment that an auspicious day of the zodiac should have. When he saw Feng Jiu, he was not polite, and he also saved greetings such as "I haven't seen you for many years, I miss it very much", sat on the bamboo chair next to her, took the teacup, and poured the buffalo with a clatter. Feng Jiu looked at him quietly for a long time, and asked tentatively: "We haven't seen each other for more than two hundred years, how come you are like this when we meet?" Is it stimulated by something? ”

Yan Chi Wu glanced up at her, lowered his head and was silent for a while, remembered something, and asked, "Isn't the ice cube face there?" ”

"Well, this morning the Heavenly Monarch sent someone to find him and ask him to return to the Nine Heavens for deliberation. I guess I won't be back until before dinner. You're not coming to him, are you? Feng Jiu was very puzzled.

"No," Yan Chi Wu replied without thinking, paused, and said listlessly, "Oh, I can't say no, I haven't seen you for a long time, I came to visit you and Ice Cubeface, who knew that he happened to be not at home." ”

Feng Jiu stared at his face for a long time, this face was still the same as when he was in Fanyin Valley, when he was in a bad mood, he was a beautiful woman with a sad and pitiful appearance. Feng Jiu's motherhood was successfully aroused, and she said softly: "You don't look like you came to my Qingqiu sightseeing guest, what troubles did you encounter?" Say it, maybe I can help you with ideas. ”

Yan Chi Wu raised his eyes and looked at Feng Jiu, who was looking at the Virgin's brilliance at the moment, and suddenly sighed, and said Qi Qiran: "Yesterday, the one hundred and first time, I was rejected by Ji Yu. Lao Tzu swore before that if he failed again this time, Lao Tzu would give up completely and never have any illusions about her. After a pause, he seemed to be sorting out his emotions, and after a while, he continued, "But after being rejected, I am still quite sad." His complaining expression reminded Feng Jiu of a sentence: How sad can you be, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was like a surging river, Feng Jiu's heart was full of soft messes, and patiently explained him: "It is said that good men are ambitious in all directions, how can you hang yourself on a tree?" Besides, there is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep a master. With your identity as a suave demon lord, what kind of alluring country does not have? ”

Xiao Yan poured another cup of herbal tea and glanced back at Feng Jiu, "You didn't hang yourself on the tree of Ice Cubeface. ”

Feng Jiu was stunned by Xiao Yan, and thought for a while, for the sake of his sadness at the moment, it was rare that he didn't choke him back: "You say so, that's right, I have been hanging on the old tree of Donghua, and I have been hanging for more than 2,000 years." With a look of memory on his face, he said slowly, "Since he saved me on Junji Mountain, I have liked him, for more than two thousand years, no matter how many times I said to let go, after all, I couldn't let go, knowing that he had something, I was willing to accompany him to live and die together." After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed again, "No wonder we can be friends, it turns out that it is because we are all dead-eyed, stupid enough to hang ourselves on a tree." ”

Yan Chi Wu looked at Feng Jiu blankly, but his mind was on her words, and he said in a dumb voice: "More than two thousand years? After speaking, he swallowed his saliva, "Didn't you just fall in love with each other in the Valley of Fanyin?" ”

Feng Jiu shook his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I was still young back then, because I was the only red fox with a head and nine tails in the world, it was extremely precious, and there were many people who beat my idea. After a pause, he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and continued, "He passed by in a hurry, but I fell in love with him at first sight. Later, I worked hard to learn ancient history, also in order to know more about him. The entire history of antiquity is simply a history of his brilliant military exploits! As he spoke, Feng Jiu's face showed a look of admiration, staring at the pond in the distance. On a small piece of land in the pond, plum blossoms resemble pink haze.

"And then?" Xiao Yan's emotions of listening to the gossip were lifted, and the previous gloom was swept away.

And then? How familiar is the term? Who has ever asked?

Feng Jiu thought for a moment and continued, "Then, I heard that Taichen Palace was going to procure palace maids, so the Heavenly Commander ordered Xingjun to get me in. didn't think about it, and swept the land for four hundred years, but he didn't even see the emperor, and he was not less troubled. Now that I think about it, it was really a wretch at that time, if I had gone back in time, I would definitely not have let myself live so badly, and I would have to let out a few bad breaths. The mood of the memories was carried with the emotions of the past, Feng Jiu was a little excited, and the teacup slapped on the table with a "bang".

Yan Chi Wu looked at Feng Jiu and said dumbfounded: "I didn't expect you to have such a past, but Lao Tzu is really puzzled, who has the ability to let you live?" He waited expectantly for her to answer her questions.

Feng Jiu sneered: "Actually, it wasn't the most at that time, the most was after Ji Yu appeared. "I haven't remembered this past for a long time, and the memory of being buried in the sand seems to be hidden deeply, but in fact, it only takes a gust of wind to reveal its true face.
