Chapter 663: Cai Que Hua Luan
After arriving in the Qingqiu Kingdom, Hu Xianxian did not immediately go to the palace. Now that Shang Weiran is in charge, the rules are the same as those of the mortal dynasty, and she has to change her robe before she asks to see her.
In the mortal world, it is the early morning of the eighth day of the seventh month, but it is dusk in this Qingqiu country.
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the palace even more splendid, Hu Xianxian rode the wind, and fell to the ground when he reached the main gate.
At this moment, she had changed out of the blue hairband and the cloth dress with small white flowers on a blue background, tied her hair with a white jade hibiscus crown, and put on a light green tulle robe. The gauze robe is embroidered with a smart light purple auspicious cloud pattern, which shows the slender and light posture.
When the guards at the gate saw her approaching, their eyes lit up, and the head of the guard team personally greeted her.
Hu Xianxian lightly raised the red snow dust in his hand, announced "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable", and then replied: "Hu Xianxian, the poor man, beg to see His Majesty the Lord of the Country." ”
The head of the guard team saw that her hair was tied with a jade crown, a gauze robe on her body, and a dust whisk in her hands were all extraordinary, and her attitude was humble, and when she heard her identity, she immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "It turned out that Hu Yuanjun came here with a crane, please forgive the little one who came to serve for the first time is really clumsy, and he didn't recognize Hu Yuanjun." Please, please. ”
The head of the guard team led the way with a hunched waist, and after walking more than a dozen steps, he asked Hu Xianxian to take a step.
Walk to the main hall, a few zhang away from the palace gate, and walk to the harem.
Because Shang Weiran was about to have dinner, Xuanhu Xianxian went directly to the queen's bedroom to meet him.
When he saw Shang Weiran, Ah Pian and several important ministers of Qingqiu Country were also there, all looking forward to Hu Xianxian at the door.
After seeing each other, they were cold to each other. Shang Weiran affectionately took Hu Xianxian's hand and invited her to have dinner with the guests.
Hu Xianxian sighed in his heart, it took half an hour from the palace gate to here, and he could no longer run straight in with a smile like before......
After eating a few bites of food and saying a few polite words, Hu Xianxian asked, "Queen Shang, why didn't you see Your Majesty tonight?" ”
"Miss your fifth senior brother?" Shang Weiran smiled unnaturally, "He's not feeling well and doesn't want to come for dinner." ”
Hu Xianxian blinked suspiciously, and Ah Pian glanced at her and said, "Yuanjun doesn't need to worry about His Majesty's body, it's still like that......"
Ah Pian's words were vague, but Hu Xianxian understood that Lie Yufeng still stayed in Hong'er's small courtyard every day, not asking about state affairs, and not being close to Shang Weiran.
After eating sullenly for a while, Hu Xianxian remembered that the main purpose of this trip was to pick up Caique, and asked with a smile: "I heard that Caique's success has been transformed, can Queen Shang let me meet her first?" ”
Shang Weiran's smile this time was very natural, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Caique is in this hall, forgive me for making you brainless, guess where she is?" ”
This dining room is not big, and there are not many furnishings, except for the table and chairs, there is a pot of flowers on each of the two high tables. Because the magpie was only the size of a child's fist when it turned into a jade carving, and it was once hidden in a pine bonsai, Hu Xianxian thought that it was hidden in those two pots of flowers.
But the pot full of fragrant flowers made Hu Xianxian rummage through every stem and leaf and did not find the magpie.
She went to look through the bonsai with the cypress trees coiled again, but still didn't see the magpies.
Caique should have a heart with her, she senses the breath, and she can't sense it at all.
Could it be that Shang Weiran deliberately tricked her? Shang Weiran didn't look like someone who would joke with her.
Ah Pian saw her tilting her head and frowning at Shang Weiran, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Hu Yuanjun, the queen really didn't lie to you, Caique is in this dining room." A reminder, Cai Que can change into a human shape after turning into a human form, and the breath will also change after changing into a human form, and you can't sense it according to the previous breath. ”
Hearing this, Hu Xianxian suddenly realized, patted his forehead and looked around the hall.
Finally, his eyes rested on a girl of about twelve years old, dressed in the dress of a maid in the palace, and looking at her with tears in her eyes.
Yes, it must be her!
Hu Xianxian rushed over to hug her, and the girl pouted and pushed Hu Xianxian away, "I'm not Caique!" Hum...... You don't care about me at all, you don't notice me at all...... If it weren't for Ah Pian reminding ......"
Although the first sentence denied that she was a colorful magpie, the next complaint was clearly an admission in disguise.
Hu Xianxian apologized to her with a smile, promising that as long as she could be happy, she could agree to any conditions.
"Really? Any condition is fine? ”
Hearing Caique ask, Hu Xianxian regretted it a little, if he put forward the conditions that he would never be able to meet, it would be bad. But when the words were spoken, she had to grin and nod.
"Then I want you to be my sister, you are not allowed to be my master, and you are not allowed to be my mount."
After Caique finished speaking, he wrinkled his little face and waited for Hu Xianxian to answer.
"Hah...... That's your condition? I didn't use you as a mount in the first place! Okay, sister is sister. ”
Hu Xianxian took Caique's hand and announced to everyone that this was her sister, and thanked Shang Weiran and everyone in Qingqiu Country together.
Everyone congratulated them, and Ah Pian said that Cai Que was now in human form, and he should have a name.
Hu Xianxian remembered that Caique's father was a mortal, so she asked her what her father's surname was.
"My father's surname is Tang, and I also have four older sisters, named Tang Hongjie, Tang Ah Ochre, Tang Luniang, and Tang Qinggu."
Hu Xianxian crooked his mouth, why is this a name chosen by color?
may have seen Hu Xianxian's question, Ah Pian explained: "Princess Jinluan was punished for marrying a mortal without permission, and none of her five daughters could grow up by her side, all of which were named by their masters according to the color of their feathers.
Sister Hong was born with red feathers, and now she is the school book of Hongluan Xingjun.
Ah Ochre is ochre yellow, and now he is the transmission deacon of the Heavenly Court Criminal Law Division.
The green lady was born with emerald green feathers, and she was in the underworld.
Qinggu is blue in color, and she is the personal maid of the queen of heaven and serves as a messenger. ”
I didn't expect Caique's sisters to have immortal positions, and when it comes to the maids who serve as messengers for the queen of heaven, Hu Xianxian still has some impressions. When it was still Bai Huifeng, he knew that the little fairy who sent a letter to the immortals was a Qingluan.
Although he has an immortal position, to put it bluntly, he is also an inferior position for the master to drive, how can he be respected by the people in the Luan clan?
Although Princess Jin Luan was lucky enough to avoid death, her family was ruined, and the end of the separation of the ethnic group was still miserable.
Hu Xianxian sighed, stroked Caique's head lovingly, and said gently, "How about I call you Cai'er?" Tang Caier, do you still like this name? ”
She was silent, apparently feeling that it was the same as the name chosen by her sisters' masters, which was based on the color of her feathers, and did not like the name.
"Cai'er, you don't like me calling you like that?"
Hu Xianxian looked at her with a smile, and when she was not so resistant to herself, Hu Xianxian said: "'Cai'er' not only refers to your colorful feathers, but also reminds you not to forget your roots."
You were born with a damaged condition and have only only now been transformed into a Luan, but you are still the most gifted descendant of the Luan clan.
The Luan clan is comparable to the Feng clan, and it can also cultivate to the highest level of fire phoenix. Only by remembering that you are the daughter of Princess Jinluan, can you work hard, cultivate into a fire phoenix as soon as possible, and welcome back your mother. ”
Caique burst into tears when he heard these words, nodded heavily, and recognized the name "Tang Caier".
Caique's background is not clear to others, but Ah Pian is clear, if she hadn't taken Caique to Qingqiu Country back then, Caique, who was congenitally damaged, might not even be able to survive. And Ah Pian also got the cultivation method of Princess Jinluan because of the escort, and was able to become the patriarch of the white thrush. Princess Jin Luan is her master, and she also has a sour taste in her heart when she hears this speech.
Tears welled up in the corners of Ah Pian's eyes, and she wiped her tears again, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reminded Cai Que: "You follow Hu Yuanjun to cultivate well, but the matter of the Luan clan back then was only to blame the princess for violating the rules of heaven, so don't be resentful of the Emperor of Heaven because of this." ”
"Hey, don't talk about those unpleasant ones, she's so small, and don't put so much pressure on her." Hu Xianxian felt that the Emperor of Heaven should be blamed for what happened back then, but he didn't want to say more, so he pulled Caique to sit next to him and continued to eat and drink.
Caique has been called "Tang Cai'er" since then, and many, many years later, not only turned into the body of a fire phoenix, but also killed his lover Qin drunk to heaven.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the Emperor of Heaven was forced to issue an edict admitting that the punishment of the Luan clan was too severe, releasing Princess Jinluan, and agreeing to the return of the Luan tribe to their ancestral home.
Of course, at this moment, Tang Cai'er is still just a little girl in her first human form, snuggling up to Hu Xianxian and eating snake soup with relish.
Although she has taken on a human form, her eating habits have not changed much, and she likes to eat corn grains, snake cakes, fried scorpions, silkworm chrysalis and the like.
After dinner, the important ministers said goodbye and left, and Shang Weiran took Hu Xianxian, A Pian, and Tang Caier to the study.
Shang Weiran sat down behind the bookcase, and Hu Xianxian took out a small brocade box and presented it, which contained clotted ice jade. She divided the entire ice cube of the clotted ice jade into two in advance, and left one for Sanhua to use later.
"Queen Shang, a small gift is not a tribute, thank you for taking care of Cai'er."
Shang Weiran took the gift box, so that she didn't have to say thank you, and then asked the maid to put the gift box away.
"This gift box contains condensed ice jade, please prepare and take it as soon as possible." Hu Xianxian was afraid that she would not use it for a long time, so he reminded her urgently.
"Is it the Fat Ice Jade?" Shang Weiran touched his face ruined by poison, and smiled happily, "Thank you so much, I've heard about this thing from rumors, but I didn't expect it to happen." ”
After a few small talks, Hu Xianxian proposed that he wanted to meet Lie Yufeng. Shang Weiran's face was displeased, and he looked at it left and right, taking Hu Xianxian's request as a deaf ear.
Hu Xianxian didn't want to cause trouble to Lie Yufeng, so he tried to observe etiquette, and when he saw Shang Weiran's attitude, he said goodbye and left, secretly thinking that he knew where Lie Yufeng was, and it was okay to visit him secretly.
After she stepped out of the study, Tang Cai'er naturally followed, and only then walked out of the gate of the dormitory, and Ah Pian hurriedly followed.
"Hu Yuanjun, do you want to go to see Your Majesty quietly?" Ah Pian Lahu Xian asked only when he was in the corner.
"She didn't arrange for me to see the fifth senior brother, I just went by myself, anyway, I can find where Hong'er's small courtyard is."
Ah Pian shook his head and sighed, and saw that there were no guards coming over on the left and right before saying: "My white thrush clan is attached to the Qingqiu country, and people have to bow their heads under the low eaves, and it is inconvenient to say some things." Alas, Hu Yuanjun, Your Majesty's current situation is very bad, Cai'er also knows something, you can ask Cai'er. I'll have to go on something else, with all due respect. ”
After saying this vaguely, Ah Pian left in a hurry.
Hu Xianxian groaned slightly, then took Tang Cai'er back to the guest room first, and decided not to see Lie Yufeng first.
When she got to the room, she asked how Lie Yufeng was doing.
Tang Cai'er tilted her head before saying, "Brother Lie can't go out of that courtyard, and Queen Shang won't allow me to go to see him." I was only on that day...... It's that Queen Shang asked him to send you a spirit rune when he saw him, he can only write, and he has no mana to send out a spirit rune, it is a charm sent to you by Queen Shang. ”
"You said that my fifth senior brother doesn't even have the mana to send spirit runes?" Tang Cai'er first turned into a human, and her speech was slightly confused, but Hu Xianxian still grasped the most critical thing.
