Another night passed like this, and when I fell asleep in bed at night, Jiubai hugged me tightly and refused to let go.

After he fell asleep, I tried to get up and get off the ground, but as soon as I moved, Jiubai felt as if he was frightened, and he was extremely uneasy in his sleep.

In this way, I didn't move anymore, just watched Jiubai sleep peacefully.

The moonlight of this night was excellent, the moon fell through the water curtain above the Jiao tribe, and everything in the water palace slept peacefully, covered with a layer of somewhat unreal light, and there was a hazy beauty everywhere.

Many years ago, the Emperor of the People once praised the night scene in the Water Palace, which is a great beauty in the world.

I also thought so since I was a child, until that day I saw a different moon and a different night scene in the mountains with Jingkang by the Qingshui River.

The night in the Water Palace is indeed beautiful, and the Qingshui River can't be compared, but the night by the Qingshui River is better than the reality.

Sit in the mountains, listen to the tinkling of the water, the crows screaming, and the cold wind blowing on your face, people really live there.

One of the pillows was a little hard, so my neck was uncomfortable, so I touched it with the other hand, a long round object, I remembered, it was the black mucuna that His Majesty the Emperor had given me.

Looking at the black mucun, I felt some emotion in my heart.

It's not that I feel the human emperor, even if he didn't protect me today, but after all, I was sorry for him first and let down his friendship.

In the Imperial City, I also slept next to the black mulberry almost every day, and at that time, every late at night, there would often be a mournful and melodious flute sound over the Imperial City.

I don't know what happened to Jingkang after he returned to the fairy world, did he think of me.

I wanted to play a tune, but I was afraid of arguing Jiubai, so I had to give up.

Jiubai didn't know what he dreamed of, with an extremely sweet smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

After listening to him for a long time, I heard him clearly, and he seemed to shout, "Daddy!"

It seems that Jiubai also remembered Jingkang, and at this time, Jiubai and I can be regarded as a mother and son.

If there is a chance, it is indeed time to take Jiubai to meet his so-called "daddy".

............

On the morning of the second day, Qiu An did not come to wake me up, and when I opened my eyes, Jiubai had already dressed himself, holding a small stool, sitting on the edge of my bed and looking at me.

"Mother, are you awake?"

"Why are you so early?"

"It's not that the child is early, it's that the mother is too lazy, and the sun is drying her buttocks, you see, the breakfast made by Aunt Qiu is about to be cold, and the mother can't get up to eat!"

Jiubai pointed to the table outside and helped me bring my clothes over.

"Aunt Qiu is busy outside, so let Jiubai help her mother get the clothes. ”

"Okay, Jiubai is really good. ”

Being praised by me like this, Jiubai became more energetic, and when I got dressed, he had to help me bring food in.

I was afraid of burning him, so I hurriedly stopped him and got up and sat down at the table outside.

"Have you eaten?"

Jiubai nodded, "Aunt Qiu fed me just now." ”

I poured myself a bowl of vegetarian soup and asked Jiubai, "What is Aunt Qiu doing?"

Jiubai said happily: "She's helping Jiubai make clothes." ”

"Didn't Grandmother Wang give you a lot of clothes, why did you ask Aunt Qiu to help you make them?"

Jiubai was a little aggrieved: "Aunt Qiu said that I was not born in the Jiao clan, and I just came over, and I was afraid that I would not be used to wearing it, so I made a few more clothes." ”

Qiu An's worries are reasonable, the Jiao people are born with soft bones and smooth flesh, in order to help practice, and in order to dress luxuriously and look good, the clothes are mostly silk, and the mortal people, especially children, in order to wear comfortably, the clothes are mostly cotton and linen.

When I was full, Qiu An pushed the door in, "The princess is up?"

"Hmm. ”

"Can you freshen up now?"

"Good!"

Qiu An went to get warm water and freshened up for me.

Jiubai was small, kneeling on the chair with his legs on his legs, lying on the table with his upper body, his hands on his head, and his eyes watching Qiu An groom me.

I asked Jiubai, "Why do you see me like this?"

"Mother's good looks. ”

Jiubai's boast made my face a little hot with shame, and the bronze mirror was blurry, but I couldn't see my own appearance clearly.

Qiu An dressed me up today no different from when she was usual, and if it was according to what I said yesterday, she should have put on my makeup today, so that I could look pitiful.

I looked at Qiu An with some bewilderment, with her steady personality, it was impossible to forget my current situation.

Qiu An only smiled faintly, "Don't worry, princess, let the slave and maid sell it, and you will know in a while." ”

Since Qiu An said so, it was useless for me to be anxious, so I had to be patient and see what tricks she played.

When Qiu'an cleaned me up, I looked at myself in the mirror, although it was far from what I thought, but fortunately, I had the spirit before.

Jiubai looked at me, clapped his hands happily and said, "Mother is finally well." ”

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Okay?"

But it is Huaqing's brother.

Brother Huaqing's sudden appearance in my courtyard really surprised me, but Qiu An looked as usual, with a hint of a smile.

I glared at Qiu An, but she didn't look at me or speak, just waiting for me to answer Brother Huaqing.

I had no choice but to shout outside, "Okay." ”

"Alright, I'll come in. ”

Brother Huaqing pushed the door in as he spoke, Jiubai was very happy to see Huaqing, and walked over and shouted, "Uncle." ”

"Xiao Jiubai, come, uncle. Hua Qing said, and picked up Jiubai.

"Okay?"

At this time, another voice came from outside, but it was a woman, and her voice was very clear and beautiful.

I looked at Qiu An and Hua Qing in confusion, but they pretended to be mysterious, but they didn't see me and didn't speak.

I thought about it, this voice was none other than Qingqing.

Because I was a little annoyed that they collaborated to lie to me, although my own heart was already happy, but I still deliberately kept a straight face and shouted outside: "It's not good!"

Hua Qing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed after reacting.

Qingqing said mischievously outside: "Then I'm going to break in!"

After Qingqing entered the door, he shouted, "Sister." "Walk up to me.

Qingqing's gaze swept over my face, but he didn't say anything, just didn't see it.

This made Jiubai very happy, he was still in Hua Qing's arms at this time, and when he saw Qingqing, he called out sweetly: "Aunt Qingqing." As he spoke, he pushed hard in the direction of Qingqing.

Qingqing hurriedly took Jiubai, kissed three times vigorously, and asked lovingly, "Do you miss your aunt?"

"There are ——!" Jiubai nodded vigorously while dragging a long note.

"That's good!" Qingqing took out a lot of strange gadgets from his sleeve as if he was juggling, and handed them to Jiubai.

After Jiubai took it, he happily placed it on the table.

I asked Qingqing, "Why are you here?"

Qingqing looked at me like a monster: "What, the third woman didn't tell you?"

I shook my head again and again, "No!"

Qiu An reminded me at this time: "Princess, when we came back from the nine-story water tower yesterday, Venerable Sanpo said that I would give you a gift......
