[620] Resignation
After saying this, the atmosphere in the pavilion was even more awkward. The fox Ji was like sitting on pins and needles, and she didn't dare to raise her head in the face of Xiao Fuling, and she didn't dare to be angry even if she was wronged.
At first, Poria is just a child, and it is too childish to compete with her. Second, the other party is Xiao Shizhu's favorite child. Tu Yaoqing is just Xiao Shizhu's concubine; although it is legal to take concubines in the underworld, from the princes and nobles, down to the ordinary people and ghosts, the concubines in the family are all without exception the fate of being concubines for life and slaves for life.
The ghosts in the pavilion had not yet come to their senses, and Xiao Fuling said slowly as if talking to herself: "My family's Nine Shadows Kingdom is now a towering tree, so all cats and dogs have come to enjoy the coolness." Didn't they all look down on my father before? he said at every turn that he was born as a dog supervisor, and he was not qualified to be a ghost of Hades, but he was as vast as a sea of stars, and your father also said such a thing, right?"
When Xiao Fuling said this, she glanced at the fox girl beside her. In other words, the so-called cats and dogs are fox queens.
"Xiao Fuling, you can't be uneducated, don't you accompany Fox Ji. The ghost mother is even more angry, Xiao Fuling's performance today will not only make her face dull, but it will also be a disaster from her mouth. At that moment, the ghost mother, who was already trembling slightly, forcibly suppressed her anger, and when she scolded in a deep voice, the anger in her eyes that stared at Xiao Fuling had increased instead of decreasing.
"Good. Xiao Fuling, who had seen through Tu Gongqi's purpose of offering a woman, was already disgusted with the fox girl, and the more she talked about it, the more resentful she became, and she snorted angrily and stood up. But after seeing the ghost mother's gloomy face, she suddenly realized, knowing that everything can't be done, and words can't be said, so when she put away the faint anger on her face, she put away her dress, turned to face Tu Yaoqing again, bowed respectfully, and pretended to be polite: "Fox Ji Niangniang, Fang is only Poria who can't speak with her brain, please forgive me." βγ
As soon as these words came out, the embarrassment on the faces of the ghosts in the pavilion eased a lot. The gloom on the ghost mother's face was also a little less.
Xiao Shizhu looked at his daughter with a light smile, and when he saw Xiao Fuling, who had already sat down, there was no disgust on his face for a moment, but he looked at the fox who was slightly bowing his head, and said with a slight smile: "Please don't see the fox with me, I'm just a little kid, don't take it to heart if you have no intention just now." βγ
The words were gentle, reversing the previous yin and yang weirdness.
Saying this, Xiao Lingling picked up the wine jug and took the initiative to pour wine for Fox Ji Tu Yaoqing. Lai Yueqi and Ying Zhao are also in harmony with each other, and they make peace for the two ghosts.
"I didn't have anything to do with you, Tong Yan Wuji. Tu Yaoqing listened to the sound of water and wine in the cup, raised her head slightly, and smiled at Xiao Fuling, she really didn't care about Xiao Fuling anymore, but felt that this child knew current affairs, and had already forgotten what Xiao Fuling said about her in a weird way.
The tense and awkward atmosphere in the pavilion was relieved.
It is also Xiao Fuling's luck that Tu Yaoqing still has a trace of purity in how to take the initiative to be admitted to her father, at least not as greedy as Tu Gongqi. Regarding this marriage, Tu Yaoqing was just following the orders of his parents to match the words of the concubine, and he also showed mercy to the people of Qingqiu Country. For this reason, Tu Yaoqing will never compete with Xiao Fuling. Otherwise, Xiao Fuling's remarks today will not only attract Tu Yaoqing's grudge, but also force Tu Yaoqing to be anxious, so he simply made a move to get rid of Xiao Fuling secretly for the sake of his child's future.
And the ghost mother's previous anger was precisely because she was afraid that her daughter would get into trouble because of this. Compared with Xiao Shizhu, who sees the wind and makes the rudder, protects himself, and knows when to chase and fight, and when to collect his claws, Xiao Poria is too tender.
Of course, Xiao Fuling's occasionally impulsive personality is also inherited from Xiao Shizhu.
Now that the ghost mother saw that the atmosphere was eased, Tu Yaoqing had no intention of holding grudges, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she still couldn't help but scold her daughter angrily: "You are a cockfighter, and you can pinch everyone when you meet, you really have to educate you well." βγ
Xiao Fuling smiled and didn't speak, just silently raised her wine glass and toasted Fox Ji.
"Don't mention the unhappy things, let's eat with chopsticks. Xiao Shizhu secretly pulled the sleeve of the ghost mother, signaled her to stop talking, picked up his chopsticks with the other hand, and beckoned the ghosts to start the family banquet.
The meal lasted until late at night, and then it dispersed. Lai Yueqi and Fox Ji each returned to the palace, and Ying Zhao Qinyuan and Ying'er went to his official residence with Lu Wu. In the Longwei Pavilion of Juexiangyuan, there are only Xiao Shizhu who drinks tea leisurely, Xiao Poria who has a hippie smile, and the ghost mother who sinks her face as soon as the ghosts leave.
Outside the pavilion, the north wind was still blowing, and it kept howling.
"Xiao Fuling, did you almost get into trouble today?" Just when the ghost mother was sullen, Xiao Shizhu suddenly sank his face, and scolded his baby daughter in a deep voice at a rare sight: "If your mother hadn't stopped you in time, you would have to scold Tu Yaoqing and jump off the wall in a hurry." βγ
Xiao Fuling on the side was suddenly stunned, and the teacup she raised stopped in front of her mouth.
"Everyone knows that she married in for the benefit of their Tu family and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and also knows that her father wants to use her belly to give you a son, and then her father naturally became the grandfather of this little prince (the children of the princes of the underworld can only be called son, not prince), so as to occupy a place in our country. But after getting along with each other for a few days, I found that Tu Yaoqing is not a ghost with a desire for profit, and she doesn't want his father to be insatiable, and she doesn't even want to have children. As long as she has no children, his father Tu Gongqi's power in our country will not grow indefinitely. But you haven't figured anything out, and when you come up, you will be sarcastic, and you will only push her to be anxious. Xiao Shizhu sighed lightly, his face was a little gloomy, and at the same time he reached out and rubbed his daughter's head, and continued to teach by example: "When you see that fox Ji in the future, you are still polite." Don't have prejudices against her anymore, don't talk about it, and it's easy to make enemies for yourself. βγ
"As long as you stay friendly with her, Tu Yaoqing will not be a stumbling block to you, and will even be your help. The ghost mother also put away her anger, and took over and said patiently to her daughter: "The thunderous methods you learned in the school palace should be used when Tu Yaoqing is competing with you, not when she is showing favor to you. βγ
Xiao Fuling is not stupid, after hearing Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother's words, after thinking about it seriously, she also knew that her words and deeds before today were not only unseemly, but also did too many mistakes, and she was ashamed to talk back.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll bring some things and go to the Thousand Rides Palace to make amends for Kitsune. After a deep groan, Xiao Fuling, who thought of a countermeasure, said slowly: "Sincerely compensate her again." βγ
"Well, let's take a moment of dΓ©tente, you don't have to fight each other. Xiao Shizhu nodded after hearing this, reached out and rubbed his daughter's little head, and said with a slight smile: "What's more, your father and I are not old and confused, even if she can give me ten or eight little ghosts, she will not be favored and snub your mother, let alone patriarchal." Marrying her is just to find a foothold for my country in Dongyingzhou. You can rest easy and finish your studies first. In the future, you must also live in peace with the fox queen, so as not to hold grudges against her, fight with you openly and secretly, and find unnecessary trouble for yourself. βγ
"Yes. Xiao Lingling also smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Since you are so well-behaved, then I will tell you another good news in advance. Seeing that her daughter immediately knew how to reflect, Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother looked at each other and smiled, and then said to Xiao Fuling: "I have ordered to set up tables and chairs for you in the Tianquan Palace. You don't have to go to the morning class of the Houxue Palace, and go to the court with me and my mother. βγ
As soon as Xiao Lingling heard this, her eyes immediately widened when she looked at her father, and she opened her lips slightly but stopped talking. This is not only Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother's affirmation of Xiao Poria's ability, but also gives her a glory and pride.
Being able to discuss matters in the same hall with the lord and mother of the Nine Shadows Country is equivalent to saying that Xiao Shizhu is showing the ghost ministers in a bright way that Xiao Fuling is his successor. This sudden surprise made Xiao Fuling stunned suddenly, and she couldn't come to her senses.
Just when she was stunned, the ghost mother suddenly smiled at her husband and said, "It seems that our daughter is unwilling, so why don't you remove the throne?"
"I think it's the same, saving her the pressure. Little ghost, just eat, drink, and have fun. Xiao Shizhu cooperated with the ghost mother, slightly bowed, and a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on his face.
"I do. Xiao Lingling, who suddenly looked anxious, stood up and shouted urgently: "Isn't this good news coming too suddenly?
Saying this, a pleading look burst out of her eyes, and she walked towards her mother and ghost: "Mother, you and my father are both big ghosts, you can't go back on your word." βγ
In the cold wind outside the pavilion, black snow drifted again, and the cold was thicker and the yin qi was heavier.
The ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu in the pavilion laughed out loud when they saw their daughter's anxious little face flushed, which was very cute.
Through the joyful laughter, it floated through the curtains blown by the cold wind to the garden, and echoed among the grass and trees with black snow flakes......
It is also a snowy city, and today is also a festive party. The ever-bright lights in the city, in the dark night, lit by the beginning of the fire, from the towering Luo Yu Mountain, looking down, the city is like a galaxy, spectacular and beautiful, without the slightest weirdness and lifelessness.
Zhu Maichen rode a beast soul that could take off, flew to the top of the mountain in the wind, stopped in front of the palace gate, turned over and explained the reason to the gate guard, showed the palace entry token, and walked through the palace gate towards the Six Heavens Gods and Ghosts Palace that was still golden under the flying black snow.
He had come to bid farewell to Emperor Xudu, and Zhu Maichen was about to lead an army and hundreds of ghost officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty to Dongyingzhou. First of all, instead of Emperor Xudu, he unified the mobilization of other Hades kings outside the Qingqiu Kingdom in the continent, with their armies.
The next step is to exterminate the Qingqiu Kingdom, and then set these Hades Kings in the air, and finally let the Northern Yin Dynasty firmly control everything in Dongying Continent.
If this matter was handed over to him to handle by the ghost, Emperor Xudu was not at ease, so he could only hand over this important task to Zhu Maichen, who was chasing the soul.
And Zhu Maichen, who was about to travel far away, braved the snow to go up the mountain at this time, and it was also customary for him to resign to Emperor Xudu.
The lights in the palace flickered, bringing up flickering shadows. Zhu Maichen shuttled between pavilions and pavilions for a long time under the wind and snow, and finally came to the brightly lit Beiyin Zhongtian Palace.
Zhu Maichen, who did not stop walking, stepped on the stone steps of the Dan Majesty Pan, which was finely made, engraved with different patterns, and had auspicious clouds, Shoushan and other patterns, climbed the tall pedestal, and stood in front of the gate of the Heavenly Temple in Beiyin, when he heard a heart-rending scream from the hall.
