Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lady in Charge
Early the next morning, Xiao Zhao'er was sleeping soundly when she heard a quick knock on the door outside.
"Who?" Xiao Zhao'er rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.
"Princess, get up, there's a bunch of people outside, saying they want to help us move." Fei Hong shouted.
"Moving? What to move? Xiao Zhao'er wondered.
Sleepy-eyed, he climbed out of bed, got dressed, opened the door, walked out, and then, stunned.
There were hundreds of guards and maids outside, and when they saw her come out, they all knelt down and said in unison, "The subordinates (slaves and maids) meet Concubine Zhaoniang!" Mother's blessing Jin'an! ”
"Are you looking for the wrong person?" Xiao Zhao'er was dumbfounded, and said half-loudly.
"Niangniang danced last night, stunning the demon world, how could her subordinates admit their mistakes?" One of the kneeling ones said, "The Demon Venerable prefers Niangniang, and specially ordered Niangniang to move to Xuanyuan Palace, and ordered me to wait for Niangniang to serve Niangniang in the future, so we specially waited here for Niangniang to get up and help Niangniang move." ”
Xiao Zhao'er didn't speak, her eyes blinked, twice, three times.
By the fourth time, Xiao Zhao'er finally roared angrily, "What did you say? When did I become Hanchen's concubine? ”
"Princess, calm, calm." Fei Hong said as he flapped his wings and fanned her.
Xiao Zhao'er took a deep breath and said, "Where did you come from, give me where to go back, I'm not a mother, and I don't need to be served." ”
After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and walked out, ignoring the group of guards and maids who were already stunned.
"Princess, where are you going?" Fei Hong chased after him and said.
"Where else can I go, of course I went to Hanchen to settle accounts!" Xiao Zhao'er said angrily, "Lao Tzu is a yellow flower girl in the boudoir to be married, he actually ruined Lao Tzu's reputation in front of so many people, is it unbearable!" ”
Feihong's eyes rolled drippingly, and he smiled evilly, "Is the princess afraid that Jie Ran Xingjun will not want to marry you after she finds out?" Babble, you're thinking too much. I bet with you, even if you really go to Hanchen, Jie Ran Xingjun will not dislike you and not marry you. ”
Before Feihong finished speaking, he felt that his wings were grabbed, and after being swept around in the air a few times, he was thrown out with a 'whoosh'.
There was a scream echo of 'ahh
In front of the Xuanyuan Palace, the two guards saw Xiao Zhao'er striding over from a distance, knelt down and saluted, "Welcome to Concubine Zhao's mother, the Demon Venerable has been waiting inside for a long time." ”
Xiao Zhao'er frowned, "You said he was waiting for me?" ”
"Yes, the Demon Venerable said that you will definitely come back to settle accounts with him, but this Xuanyuan Hall is too big, and he is afraid that you will get lost and not find him, so let us wait here so that we can guide you." One of the guards said with a smile.
“…… Then what are you still doing in a daze, don't you lead the way in front of you. Xiao Zhao'er grinded her teeth and said in a rough voice.
"Yes, please."
After passing through the main hall and bypassing a tortuous corridor, I came to Hanchen's study. The guard didn't go in to report, but opened the door for her, and closed the door again when she entered.
Xiao Zhao'er suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy, but fortunately, there was still a residual anger and courage, and she looked into the study.
Hanchen was sitting at the desk reviewing the folds, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was serious, looking a little more dignified and serious than usual.
A sanctimonious hypocrite.
Xiao Zhao'er secretly scolded herself while peeping.
"Come in, didn't you say that you want to settle accounts with me in person, how can you enjoy scolding me in your heart?" Hanchen said without raising his head.
Xiao Zhao'er was taken aback, and secretly thought that this guy didn't worship Hei Mo as a teacher, and failed to learn mind reading?
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and the Demon Venerable has even learned the art of mind reading, which is amazing. Sure enough, if you don't go for three days, you should be impressed. Xiao Zhao'er said as she walked in.
Hanchen glanced at her with a smile, "You don't need mind reading, and your little caution can't hide from my eyes." ”
Xiao Zhao'er pursed the corners of her lips, disdainful of his self-righteousness. "Can the Demon Venerable guess what I'm thinking right now?"
"Well, I guess you're thinking, how do you break the contract?" Hanchen pretended to think for a while and then said.
"This girl has always been true to her word, how can she be liar?"
"Oh? Then last night in the Streamer Palace, in front of so many people, you agreed to be my woman, why did you come together this morning and backtrack? “
"......", Xiao Zhao'er was choked for a moment, paused, and said, "You also know, last night was to appease the demon king, give him a reassuring pill, and make him believe that I can save his daughter, so that he can disarm the spirit bullet and save the lives of the people in the demon palace." It's just a stopgap measure, how can it be taken seriously. ”
"But I'm serious," Hanchen said quietly, "Are you like this, can it be regarded as deceiving Benjun's feelings?" ”
Xiao Zhao'er looked at him speechlessly, "Let's not talk about last night." I remember you told me before, give me ten days to consider whether or not to be your woman. I don't have to wait for ten days, I'll tell you right now, I don't want to talk to you. ”
He looked at her and said in a light tone, "Figured it out?" ”
"Well, I've thought it through, and I couldn't have thought it more clearly." Xiao Zhao'er said seriously and seriously.
"Oh," Hanchen nodded, continuing to lower his head and review the official document, "I see." ”
…… What kind of reaction is this?
Xiao Zhao'er said cautiously, "Then, you should keep your promise and won't come back to pester me, right?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Lord Demon Venerable's mouth hooked slightly, "When did this gentleman make a promise to you?" “
"You, you don't believe in your word, and you go back on your word." Xiao Zhao'er stared at him with wide eyes, "You obviously said that you would give me time to think about it and give me the opportunity to choose, isn't this a promise?" ”
Hanchen put down his pen and looked up at her.
Xiao Zhao'er felt a little nervous for some reason, subconsciously swallowed her saliva and took two steps back. At this time, I heard him say leisurely.
"You misunderstood, Benjun means that if you are willing to follow me, we will be together; If you don't want to follow me, this gentleman will use a strong one to force you to be with me. ”
“……”
Xiao Zhao'er felt that she was wrong, and she underestimated the degree of Hanchen's shamelessness.
She said weakly, "Then you say, what do you want?" Let's say okay first, if you want me to be a concubine, I will never do it. ”
"Don't want to be a concubine?" Hanchen pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that your hobby is to be a maid?" ”
"......" Zhao'er didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Xiao Zhao'er drooped her face and looked at him gloomily, "I heard that when people speculate, they are often used to pushing themselves and others. In this way, Demon Venerable's hobby should be in front of him. ”
"Hehe, Benjun doesn't mind being the first face," Hanchen said with a sneering look on his face, "If it's you, Benjun would be happy to serve you." ”
I didn't expect the dignified Demon Venerable, when it comes to yellow jokes, it is really impressive.
Xiao Zhaoer took a deep breath and brought the topic back to the main line. "It's really unacceptable to let me be your woman as soon as you come up. Why don't we get in touch with each other first, let's cultivate feelings. ”
"I think we've had enough contact and it's time to get to know each other on a deeper level." Hanchen looked at her sideways, his fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and when he saw her glaring at him, he chuckled again, "But since you said so, then it's up to you." I just don't know how Miss Zhao'er wants to cultivate a relationship with me? ”
Xiao Zhao'er ignored him, and continued, "When I came last time, I heard Mu Mo say that you, the palace maid in charge of the Xuanyuan Palace, made a mistake a few days ago and were kicked out of the Demon Palace. Why don't you let me be your palace maid, so that I have more opportunities to get to know the Demon Venerable, and I can always be by the side of the Demon Venerable, what do you think? ”
"Do you want to be the palace maid?" Hanchen raised his eyebrows lightly, "What tricks do you want to play this time?" ”
"Don't worry, I shouldn't be undercover this time." Xiao Zhao'er pursed her lips and said, "Besides, Demon Venerable, you are now in the Demon Clan, that is the desire of the people, and all the people are obedient." The demons don't have the power to compete with you now. What do you have to worry about? ”
