CHAPTER XXIII
On the way back to the palace, Feng Jiu finally seized the opportunity and kept asking, and Donghua patiently solved her doubts one by one. They just held hands like this, and walked with each other, ignoring the envious and amazed gazes cast from all directions along the way. Slowly wandered to the Taichen Palace, as soon as he entered the study, Donghua picked up the pen and drew the formation diagram of Fang Cai, and drew a simple one, starting from the beginning for her.
Lian Song Jun stood outside the door, shaking his fan and looking at the master and apprentice. Chonglin asked in a low voice on the side, "Your Highness doesn't go in?" ”
Lian Song bent the corners of his mouth and nodded Chonglin: "I came here after listening to the affection of the emperor and his wife all the way." Now seeing is believing. He narrowed his eyes and continued: "It is said that good love can make people progress, but I really believe it. I won't go in and disturb their hard work, so as not to ask Donghua to beat me out. He folded his fan, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked away in all directions. Chonglin also withdrew with his interest.
In the past few days, Feng Jiu has really been a little daughter-in-law who does not leave the door once, and she has been stuck in the military books all day long. The emperor has nothing to do, and he accompanies her every step of the way to read books, and guides her at any time by the way. People who fight well seem to have a little military potential, Feng Jiu is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, although he is only a theoretical knowledge reserve at present, but at least he can understand the profound and obscure things such as the formation diagram. She really worked hard, and even her aunt was politely refused to go to the theater with her, Bai Qian couldn't help but wonder a little, what kind of demon is she in, isn't it really marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog, and marrying the emperor will also lead the army to fight? Then he remembered that he had been reading with Tuanzi in the past few days, and sighed secretly, the influence of the emperor was really strong enough, and it was not comparable to ordinary immortals.
"What are you thinking?" The prince Yehua got off the court meeting, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a thoughtful expression.
"It's nothing", looked at him shallowly, "I just feel that Xiao Jiu has been a little abnormal recently, and he actually squatted in Taichen Palace and studied seriously for several days without going out." ”
Yehua smiled faintly and sat beside her, "It's not strange, you said that she loved to fight since she was a child, and now there will be a war, the emperor seems to be interested in taking her to the battlefield, and some time ago he also listened to us discuss countermeasures." I guess I've been reading military books for the past few days. ”
Bai Qian lowered his head and pursed his lips and laughed, "This Xiao Jiu, since he was a child, has been a demon king of the mixed world, fighting and causing trouble are commonplace, except for ancient history and divine forging, the rest of the schoolwork has smoked the seven tricks of the master's anger, her father beat her a lot for this, if it weren't for me and the fourth brother to help, I really don't know if I can grow so big." ”
Recalling the interesting things in the past, Bai Qian will unconsciously reveal a lively and innocent appearance, Yehua cherishes such shallowness very much, he shook her hand and quipped: "It seems that Bai Yi has been deceived by you." You said that Feng Jiu is the Demon King of the Mixed World, then you and Bai Zhen are not accomplices of the Demon King. ”
Bai Qian thought about it with one hand on his cheeks, and said seriously: "The grandchildren of the Bai family are just a single seedling in Xiaojiu, wouldn't they cut off the incense if they didn't protect her?" The fourth brother and I are here to ensure the continuation of the Nine-Tailed Fox race. She sat upright and faced Yehua, "This is righteousness, what is an accomplice?" ”
Yehua gestured shallowly, "That's what God said. The righteousness of God, Yehua admires. ”
A green whirlwind swept in, blowing the petals of the peach trees in the courtyard. Tuanzi Ah ran in with a gust of wind, accompanied by an eager shout: "Mother, mother, mother!" ”
Rolling with short legs followed behind, and his silver hair was particularly conspicuous.
Bai Qian stretched out his hand to put the ball into his arms, and said angrily: "I've become an uncle, why are you still so unstable, why are you so anxious?" ”
Ah Li hurriedly said: "I heard that Sister Feng Jiu is going to the battlefield?" But she is not an immortal yet, can she go to the battlefield? Brother Donghua ...... Grandfather...... Forehead...... Brother-in-law," he paused, glanced at his father, and said, "You can call it that, right?" ”
Yehua's eyelids jumped, "You can try it, or ask the emperor." ”
Tuanzi was so choked that he couldn't speak, he looked back at Rolling Roll, and Rolling looked back at him with an innocent face, as if to say, this, I don't know, but you can try.
Bai Qian ignored their intertwined eyes and asked, "What do you want to say about Emperor Donghua?" ”
Tuanzi blinked, swallowed his saliva, and continued, "I mean to say, Grandpa Donghua...... Why would you agree? ”
Shallow said disapprovingly: "It's nothing." It's always a good thing that she wants to go to the battlefield to train, and the children of the Bai family should be like this. Anyway, the emperor will definitely protect her, and it will be fine. ”
"Oh," Rolling responded, looking at Bai Qian with some expectation, and muttered, "Then, can I go too?" ”
Bai Qian was a little surprised, she turned her head to look at Yehua, then at Rolling, and then at Tuanzi, and said seriously: "You are still too young, how can there be hundreds of years old children on the battlefield, it is not enough to be a live target." You practice hard, and when you reach the age of your Fengjiu sister, your mother will definitely send you to the battlefield herself. ”
Ah Li lowered his head, looking a little disappointed, after a while, he probably got along, and nodded heavily, "Okay, mother, can I practice with Grandpa Donghua?" Rolling said that Grandpa Donghua taught very well. ”
Bai Qian's eyes widened and he looked at Rolling Roll, who smiled at her proudly, and nodded "um". She said in her heart: "Ah Li, you don't know the face of your father and your grandfather back then, the emperor and his old man didn't give it at all, if you can be worshipped, I'm afraid that these four seas and eight wildernesses will be shocked, and Yehua will really have a successor." She couldn't help frowning when she thought about it, "Uh, this, what my mother said is not true, you might as well ......" She leaned over and whispered in Tuanzi's ear: "Go and beg your Sister Fengjiu, maybe there can be a glimmer of hope." She straightened up and continued: "However, with Emperor Donghua as a teacher, I am afraid that you will have to suffer a lot of hardship. ”
The shallow words were really tactful, and Feng Jiu's original words to Tuanzi in the back were: "Worship the emperor as a teacher, you must be prepared to be abused, and you must have all kinds of consciousness of being played horizontally and vertically, if you can persevere, you can succeed." ”
The morning light is faint, and the Taichen Palace in the early morning is always exceptionally refreshing. On the tall flower tree, a few colorful birds jumped lightly, and a few purple Buddha Ling were blown off. The path in the garden is dotted with a layer of flower petals, like a long purple carpet, gorgeous and dignified. In the past, the immortals came to clean early, but in the past few days, because Feng Jiu worked hard in the pavilion in the garden, he often slept here at night, and no one dared to enter the garden to disturb them before they got up.
The sound of rustling clothes awakened the tranquility in the garden.
Feng Jiu stretched his waist, glanced at the stacked classics on the table, and couldn't help but sigh, "The books I read in the first 30,000 years are probably nothing more than that." ”
A hint of ridicule flashed in Donghua's eyes, "Well, it's really not easy to read so many books in 30,000 years." ”
Feng Jiu suddenly turned around and grabbed his neck, looked at him with a flat mouth, and didn't speak, just looked at him like this, with her usual smile at the end of her eyes. Donghua's hand was on her waist, and the corner of his lips smiled, "Are you coquettish?" ”
Feng Jiu blinked and nodded generously.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Donghua asked bluntly.
Feng Jiu laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Emperor Donghua is really cheerful, then I won't go around in circles." Yesterday, Tuanzi came to me and asked me to help him talk to you that he wants to practice with you. ”
Donghua raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, he wants to apprentice?" It was as if he was talking to himself: "Tianjun's family really doesn't give up, and the grandson doesn't accept it and sends the great-grandson." ”
"Then you can't accept it?" Feng Jiu shook his arm and circled him, "Actually, let him and Rolling Roll practice with you, it doesn't have to be an apprentice, learn and progress together, the two of them also have a companion, you can point out when you are free, and let them realize by themselves if you are free!" ”
Donghua pondered for a moment, "Just as you said." I'm not his master. ”
Feng Jiu was very happy, her "coquettish Dafa" was definitely a winning weapon to restrain Donghua. She was about to jump away, saying "I'll go find Ah Li", but her waist was grabbed back by Donghua. The emperor's forehead was pressed against her forehead, and he whispered, "What's the hurry, I'll go after breakfast." The warm breath filled with a hint of ambiguity, she pushed him, and whispered: "Eat breakfast, eat breakfast, what are you doing with me." ”
The smile in the corner of the emperor's eyes became more and more obvious, and Feng Jiu suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Chonglin, the emperor said that he wants to have breakfast, hurry up and prepare!" ”
After studying hard for many days, Feng Jiu felt that it was time to test the effectiveness of his studies. She put down her chopsticks and was telling the emperor that if she discussed the war again in the next two days, she wanted to go and listen, when there was a noise in the front yard.
The rules of the Taichen Palace are very strict, and no one dares to make a noise on weekdays. Feng Jiu was wondering which one was so bold to die, and saw Chonglin hurriedly walking into the garden, and before he could speak, the people who followed him shouted impatiently: "Lao Tzu has not come to this Taichen Palace once or twice, what are so many bullshit rules, you just tell me where Bing Cube Face and Feng Jiu are, I will go directly to them, and it will be over!" ”
said that before seeing her people, she had the ability to hear her voice first, Feng Jiu felt that she didn't support the wall, so she served Xiaoyan. Inevitably, Donghua beat him out, she felt that she should come out first and say something to warm up the scene, so she said: "Chonglin, it's okay, let him in." ”
Chonglin looked at Yan Chiwu, who was straight with a straight waist, with a look of shame, and then looked at Emperor Jun and Feng Jiu with shame, Donghua gave him a color, and he reluctantly took the order and left.
Feng Jiu looked at him with a smile, "Why are you here?" Have you had breakfast? The new chef in the palace is good, you can try this cake. As he spoke, he handed him a piece of plum blossom cake.
Brother Yan Ren was not polite, the big lama sat down and picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth. The mouth is stuffed and I don't forget to make a vague comment: "Oh, it's not as delicious as what you made." ”
Donghua looked at him expressionlessly, with a hint of chill in his eyes. He said coldly: "You are here to attend the court meeting, what are you doing in my Taichen Palace?" ”
Yan Chi Wu glanced at him and said confidently: "The Nine Heavens are so big and there are so many houses, how do I know which house the court will be in." Anyway, I'm familiar with you, so I'll come here with you. ”
"Are you the Taichen Palace of me, is it the back garden of your house?"
Feng Jiu heard Donghua's words and there was something wrong, could it be that she was too enthusiastic about him? She just wanted to warm up and avoid embarrassment, why did it seem to be counterproductive?
She hurriedly picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and put it into the Donghua plate, "You can taste it, is it better for me to make it, or is it better for this Tianjun's imperial chef?" ”
Donghua looked at the cake on the plate, and then at Feng Jiu, who had an earnest face, his eyebrows stretched a little, and the chill in his eyes finally faded a little, "Naturally, your cooking skills are better." ”
Donghua praised her uncharacteristically and straightforwardly, making Feng Jiu a little uncomfortable, but it was very useful. She watched him eat with a smile, and said in her heart, block your mouths first, and then go directly to the court meeting, and you won't be able to pinch it.
The Nine Heavens Dynasty has always been solemn, especially the current Heavenly Monarch likes to take a shelf, and the atmosphere is even more solemn. Auspicious clouds lingered among the beams, revealing wisps of golden morning light. Above the main hall, all the immortals gathered, and the ethereal immortal qi inlaid with gold edges filled the entire hall. In such a wonderful world, mortals can prolong their life for ten years even if they take a breath.
The emperor is dressed in white today, with a white jade crown on his head, and silver hair on his shoulders like a bright moon and stars, and the grandeur of the Nine Heavens God is fully displayed. Feng Jiu is wearing a Manshu Shahua red Luo brocade skirt, with condensed skin, dignified and elegant, and a pair of phoenix red crystal hairpins are inserted in the high cloud bun, shining brightly. Seeing the emperor at the court meeting is something that has not been seen for more than 100,000 years, and it is too valuable to be able to see the emperor and his wife at the same time, the female monarch of Qingqiu, the second beauty of the four seas and eight wildernesses, and it is something that has not been seen for hundreds of thousands of years. Such a pair of fairy couples made in heaven knelt on the ground as soon as they appeared, accompanied by admiration and envy.
Feng Jiu was participating in the Heavenly Clan's court meeting for the first time. In Qingqiu, except for the monarch's enthronement ceremony and major events related to the survival of Qingqiu, there is almost no court meeting, so Feng Jiu has seen her courtiers the most complete time so far, when she ascended the throne. But even on such an important occasion, compared to this Nine Heavens Meeting, it was too casual. At least no one here dares to carry a flat shoulder and hang a vegetable basket, and after the court meeting, they have to go to the market to set up stalls.
At this court meeting, there seemed to be a lot of people coming, and the immortals, who were rarely seen on weekdays, gathered together to say hello to each other. Feng Jiu, the person next to her, didn't care too much, what surprised her was that the Dragon King of the West Sea actually brought Su Moye and Yaoyue to the court meeting.
Speaking of which, the Ghost Wu Clan is making trouble, and the Xihai adjacent to him is regarded as the closest neighbor of the Celestial Clan who knows them best, and it is reasonable to come to the Nine Heavenly Empire to discuss the war, and it is reasonable to bring Su Moye, who has profound cultivation and occasionally likes to have a good time, but the appearance of Yaoyue, the second princess of the Xihai who is elegant and high, has really attracted a lot of speculation. Feng Jiu saw that Si Ming's eyes swept over her from time to time, and the corners of her eyes were a little cramped, and her expression was quite intriguing.
Xu is sense that someone was looking at him, Si Ming turned his head, and saw that Feng Jiu was looking at him with a smile, smiled weakly, and then pretended to cough, and then he raised his eyes and swept the emperor. With this series of actions, Feng Jiu knew that he must have heard about the night banquet in the West Sea. This gossip star is really not a false rumor, and this time I don't know what kind of book to pop up.
But accidents are accidents, Feng Jiu didn't take Yao Yue very seriously. It's Xiao Yan, she always feels that something is wrong with him today. On weekdays, he moves like a rabbit, even on such a solemn occasion, he must look at this and that, and he will never do it like this, yawning against the dragon pillar. Although such an uninhibited behavior may seem disrespectful to others, it is too quiet for this strong man.
She couldn't help but look at him twice. Suddenly his left hand was grabbed. Donghua stood there indifferently, glanced at her, and pinched her palm. Her eyebrows twitched, and she smiled at him.
This smile was full of brilliance.
She's dressed up this morning. The pair of hairpins on the head are made of the Chixia crystal of Kunlun Xu, which is fiery and bright, and there is the light of flowing fire even in the dark night. In the more than two hundred years since Feng Jiu disappeared, the emperor not only planted a garden of vegetables, but also asked the god of Moyuan for this unique Chixia Crystal, and personally carved the shape of Fengqiu Huang with one knife and one knife. Because it is too precious and the style is too solemn, although Feng Jiu loves it very much, she rarely wears it on weekdays, and today she specially found it out, and Donghua helped her plug it in. Dressed up like this, she really has a bit of the momentum of the Eastern Wilderness Princess, and she can afford the dignity of the emperor and queen.
The Celestial Monarch still came against the hour. He hadn't held such a lively and grand court meeting for a long time, and his spirit was extraordinary.
The main purpose of the court meeting was naturally about the collusion between the Ghost Wu Clan and the Xuan Demon Clan in an attempt to rob Yueling Gorge.
Although in order to divert the attention of the Celestial Clan, there was a commotion at the door of his own house, but this Blue Demon Lord didn't seem to pay much attention to it, except for dealing with a few words from the Celestial Monarch, he leaned crookedly on the pillar the whole time, yawning, and looked at these people with a bored expression. From time to time, he squeezed his eyebrows at Feng Jiu and made a grimace, ignoring the sharp eyes like Bingfeng that Donghua swept over. Finally, when the court meeting was over and the immortals dispersed, he walked up to Feng Jiu, took out a piece of red paper from his arms and handed it over, "Oh, here you go." ”
Feng Jiu stretched out his hand to take it and asked casually, "What is it?" ”
"Invitation." Xiao Yan replied casually.
Feng Jiu's eyes were fixed on the word "wedding post" for a long time, and he didn't say anything for a long time with his mouth open.
"Are you going to marry Ji Yu?" Feng Jiu looked at him in shock.
Yan Chi Wu pulled his face, pointed to the invitation card in Feng Jiu's hand with his chin, and said with a muffled snort: "There are words on it." ”
Feng Jiu lowered her head and quickly glanced at the words on it, a feeling of dizziness that passed by the foot of the mountain and was hit on the head by a falling stone made her feel dizzy for a while, she glanced at Donghua who looked indifferent to her, and then turned her head to look at Yan Chiwu, and asked in a weak voice: "Who is this Qianxi?" ”
Yan Chi Wu said confidently: "Bride! Who else could it be. ”
Feng Jiu blurted out, "What about Ji Yu?" ”
Yan Chiwu scratched his head, frowned rarely, and said to her, "Change places, and I'll talk to you in detail." ”
