Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Emperor of Heaven is Coming
Finally arrived the day before Xuan'an's kiss, I got up very early this day, maybe I was nervous and looking forward to it, but I didn't expect that I couldn't sleep from today, I quietly walked outside the house and stretched my body.
But I'm going to get ready to go home today, or Xuan'an will come early tomorrow to propose marriage, and it will be a big joke.
And to my surprise, the dragon girl was also very angry today, and she poked her head out of the door: "Morning." β
"Why are you up at this hour?" I asked, beckoning to her.
The dragon girl took my hand, pulled me up, and said, "Excited, Emperor Xuan'an will come to propose to you tomorrow!" β
"Hahahaha...... Look at the way you look, why are you more excited than me?" I said as I followed the dragon girl into the house, jokingly.
The maid had already prepared breakfast, and the dragon maiden and I sat down next to each other, and after making a grimace at me, she said, "You are my best friend, and you are about to get married, and I ...... heart."
I pursed my lips and smiled and said, "It's just a kiss!"
The dragon girl pouted and looked at me, and then laughed: "Look at you, this is all a process, after proposing, will the marriage be far away? Then it won't be long before you will have a child, and then the full moon banquet of the child, and then the hundred days banquetββ"
Listening to the dragon girl, the more excited she became, and there was a tendency to talk about the marriage of children, I hurriedly interrupted: "Don't think about it, it's a long way away." β
The dragon girl looked at me, her eyes full of smiles, she smiled and nodded as she ate, she must have something strange going on in her head again.
As soon as I picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to my mouth, there was movement on the other side of the door.
The dragon girl rolled her eyes and said, "Your third brother is really persevering. β
I nodded, and quickly swallowed the pastry. But in fact, in the past few days, I have become accustomed to the actions of the third child.
But when I went over and opened the door, I found that the person who came was not the third brother, but the eldest brother.
I looked at my eldest brother suspiciously and asked, "Big brother, why are you here?"
The eldest brother's face was slightly red, and he looked like he had come in a hurry, and his expression was different from before, his gentleness was no longer there, and he looked very nervous. The eldest brother said anxiously: "Come back with me, there is a distinguished guest coming." β
Guest?
I frowned and thought about it, who would be the distinguished guest who could make the eldest brother so nervous? Anyway, Xuan'an would not come over today, and it would be impossible for the demon king Mo Yi, so who would it be......
I was about to ask, but the dragon girl suddenly came up, she took my arm and asked my eldest brother, "So who is here?"
The eldest brother took a deep breath and said, "Emperor of Heaven." β
"What?!Did I hear me right?" "How could the Emperor of Heaven come at this time?"
The next second I hurriedly asked, "Did he say why he came here?"
The eldest brother's expression froze slightly, he shook his head, and then frowned tightly, I immediately knew that it would definitely not be easy for the Heavenly Emperor to come at this time.
"Say it, say it!" the dragon girl urged.
The eldest brother pursed his lips and said, "The Emperor of Heaven didn't speak after he came, but he brought a lot of heavenly soldiers, and each of them carried large and small boxes in his hands. β
What does this mean? Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven is also here to give me a gift? But I don't want to accept his gift!
At this time, the eldest brother's face became worse, and he continued: "Those boxes are not normal...... Each chest is covered with red gilt-trimmed satin, which looks like a ......."
Why did the eldest brother speak so much today, I now have a more bad premonition, and my heart began to panic, I hurriedly urged: "Oh, big brother, say it quickly, what does it look like?"
β...... Like a dowry. The eldest brother's words were almost squeezed out between his teeth.
"Dowry?!" I shouted in surprise at the same time as the dragon girl.
"I'm really convinced, what does the Emperor mean by this?" the dragon girl asked with a strange look on her face, hitting me with her arm.
I shook my head: "I don't know about this, it's just too sudden." β
In the face of this sudden incident, I was really confused. The eldest brother said that the Emperor of Heaven came and didn't speak, so now his intention is still unknown, so what is he here for, could it be that he came to help Xuan'an give a dowry gift in advance?
Or there is a bolder idea, could it be that the Emperor of Heaven came to me with a dowry?
No, no, no, what a joke!
The eldest brother reached out and shook my shoulder and said, "I don't know what the specific situation is now, but you are the only girl in our family, and I think you can think of something." Looking at the posture of the Emperor of Heaven, if you don't show up, it seems that he will not leave. β
I looked at my eldest brother in embarrassment, and whispered: "But what can I do even if I go back with you, that is the Emperor of Heaven after all, if he really has any requests, our family can't do anything to him, ......right?"
The eldest brother shook his head and fell silent.
The dragon girl suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it just so happened that two days ago, I called some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and you will take them with you when you go back in a while." I'll ask the silverfish to go to my father and ask for a batch, so I'll go find the priest. β
The Dragon Maiden paused for a moment and continued: "By the way, if the Heavenly Emperor asks about the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and you say that they have been protecting you recently, then he won't say anything because of this. β
Looking at the current situation, I can only do this.
I immediately set off on a sea horse, and my eldest brother and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals followed me closely.
I secretly glanced at my eldest brother halfway, his expression still looked so nervous, in fact, I can understand that the people in our family have no contact with those who are of high status except for me, so now that the powerful Emperor of Heaven appears in person, they must be panicked in their hearts.
We were back home in no time.
When I was about to reach the courtyard, I realized that the procession brought by the Emperor of Heaven was far more magnificent than my eldest brother said, and it was almost lined up from the house to the outside of the courtyard.
Not far from our house were surrounded by a lot of nearby residents, and they were all talking about something in twos and threes, but when you think about it, you must be talking about me.
At this time, I can't take care of them, they can say whatever they want to say, of course, I don't care about the eyes of those heavenly soldiers in the courtyard, after asking my eldest brother to help me tie up the seahorse, I immediately walked quickly to the house.
I saw that all my family members were standing in the hall, standing in a row in an orderly manner, and the Emperor of Heaven was sitting on the top seat, and when he saw me, his face, which had been smiling, seemed to increase a little joy.
I glanced at my family, and then walked up to the Emperor of Heaven and saluted, "See His Majesty the Emperor." β
The Heavenly Emperor smiled and waved his hand: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, why are we still so rusty?"
Although I was very speechless in my heart, I could only pretend to be polite at the moment, and I responded with a smile as much as possible: "How can Hanlu He De be familiar with you the Emperor of Heaven?"
