Chapter 28: Causing Trouble (1)
After more than a month of busyness, the day before Xuanyuan's class returned to the court, the repair project was finally completed.
Seeing the changes in Xiyi Immortal Mansion, everyone was very happy!But Xiao Wu's heart became more and more uneasy.
On the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the dusty prince Qingtian and Xuanyuan Zhenjun had just finished telling Tianjun about the situation of the rebellion, and they were about to leave with the courtiers.
The palace official stepped forward and shouted to Xuanyuan, "Please Xuanyuan Zhenjun stay, Tianjun has something to say."
Xuanyuan responded and stood respectfully at His Highness.
Tianjun put down the majesty of the palace, put a faint smile on his face, stepped off the throne, looked at Xuanyuan meaningfully, and said: "Zhenjun, you came back just in time...... Some time ago, Zhizhenjun wanted to repair the immortal mansion, and Benjun sent a special cadre to undertake it, and it was completed yesterday...... Zhenjun went back to see if he was still satisfied?"
Seeing the look of surprise on Xuanyuan's face, Tianjun continued: "Zhenjun has always done his best for Heavenly Court, and he has worked hard and made great achievements...... This should be a little bit of the king's heart."
Xuan Yuan was confused when he heard it, when did he want to repair the Immortal Mansion? He knew in his heart that there must be a reason for the incident, and before he understood the situation clearly, Xuan Yuan did not point out and refute it in person.
Now that the matter has been done, he can only thank him first, Xuanyuan respectfully bowed deeply, "Xuanyuan thanks Lord Longen! The minister is really frightened, where can he afford such a generous treatment from the Heavenly Monarch?"
Tianjun stretched out his hand to help Xuanyuan, who was saluting, and said with concern: "Where did Zhenjun say? You have worked hard for hundreds of thousands of years, so you naturally deserve it...... Well, Zhenjun, knowing that you have the heart to be close to yourself and grow old together, this gentleman is very pleased!"
“......!?”
Xuanyuan listened, his face, which was always ancient and waveless, also flashed with shock in an instant, and after a calm breath, he pulled his lips and smiled bitterly, and Shi Li did not reply.
Tianjun mistakenly thought that Xuanyuan was shy and embarrassed, smiled slightly, and urged: "Okay! Zhenjun should go back quickly, see if you are satisfied? If you have any requirements, you can put them forward, and you must be satisfied with them once."
"Yes!" the minister retired", Xuan Yuan thanked him and withdrew.
As soon as he came out of the main hall, Changyu, the third highness who had just returned from the chaos, chased after him, hugged his fists and saluted, and said in a smile: "Zhenjun's good things are coming, it's really gratifying......! There must be a lot of things to be busy with when marrying a relative, what is the need? Please Zhenjun must say that Chang Yu will do his best."
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you...... Farewell", Xuan Yuan responded with a wry smile.
The immortal officials who had not yet dispersed and were whispering in groups of three or five also congratulated Xuanyuan with strange expressions:
"Zhenjun, one day I will go to appreciate and appreciate the newly repaired immortal mansion, you, you can ask for good tea and good wine to entertain you"
"Congratulations to Zhenjun! Dare to ask which immortal entered Zhenjun's eyes? Haha, Zhenjun is covered tightly enough."
“......”
Xuanyuan was embarrassed and embarrassed, he smiled and said goodbye to the immortal officials, and the smile was fixed on his stiff face, with a look of crying and laughing.
Qingtian didn't go far, he saw this scene not far away, he got along with Xuanyuan day and night, and he knew about Zhenjun's affairs, these empty words, spread so much, he concluded that there must be a big reason.
Xuan Yuan hurried to the Immortal Mansion with four apprentices with a gloomy face, he wanted to know immediately what happened to the Immortal Mansion? Who was the audacity to create rumors? Put him in the limelight, he would never spare him.
The five masters and apprentices appeared in front of the stone gate, and immediately felt that the scenery was very different.
"How did you do this? I don't know each other anymore," the fourth disciple Zhanxi muttered in surprise.
The third senior brother Bai Zi glanced at Zhanxi and said, "Idiot, don't you think it's much better looking?"
Zhanxi replied, "You're a nerd, I didn't say it's not good-looking."
"You two shut up!", Senior Brother Bingde saw that the master was unhappy, and whispered dissatisfiedly.
Buyan was already at the gate with a face full of joy, and seeing that the master's face was not good, after saluting, he followed behind him honestly.
Xuanyuan led his disciples into the gate, and from the entrance to the martial arts training ground, he never said a word, but his face became more and more gloomy. The disciples all followed him, secretly exchanging heads and ears with excitement.
Xuanyuan returned to the Yuanji Hall and sat down, the apprentices stood on both sides, and served tea in the court, at this time Xuanyuan asked at Buzhen: "Buzhen, tell me, what is going on?"
Bu Yan stepped forward to give a salute, and replied with a confused face: "Master, apprentice...... I don't know the master, what do you mean by that?", seeing the master's cold and terrifying eyes, Buzhen was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.
Xuanyuan looked at the unstained expression of a confused stare and didn't know why, and his heart became even more angry, and he reminded in a cold and hard tone, "Could it be that there is something bigger than repairing the Immortal Mansion?"
The second monk was puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Ah?!Repair the Immortal Mansion?...... Master, don't you know about repairing the Immortal Mansion?".
“...... Hmph, you tell me everything you know", Xuan Yuanqi was speechless to the rhetorical question of Undyed, he forcibly suppressed his anger and asked Undyed to tell him what he knew.
Unstained and uninformed, he replied very innocently and truthfully: "Oh, on the third day of the master's departure, His Highness the Seventh and the Ninth Highness led the immortal envoys and craftsmen of the public cadres to the Immortal Mansion, and the disciple immediately went over to inquire about the situation, and the Ninth Highness said that it was the Heavenly Monarch who took care of the master's hard work and wanted the master to live more comfortably, so he sent someone to repair the Immortal Mansion and let the two Highnesses personally supervise the work. And, so I don't have to bother with it, that's the way it is...... An Ting, you can testify to your disciples".
An Ting, who was waiting respectfully on the side, felt that the situation was wrong, and immediately gave a salute to make up the words, "Zhenjun, what you said is right if you are not infected with immortals, the old slave also asked about the situation, and Lu Xiaowu also said the same."
Xuanyuan understood a little in his heart, all this should probably be done by that Lu Xiaowu rubbing and doing. He had already seen that the two highnesses were obedient to her, and the dignified son of the Heavenly Monarch was like two followers, often sticking to her.
This little girl is really not simple! Xuanyuan was angry and hateful in his heart, he still couldn't understand a little, how could there be rumors that he was going to marry?
Xuanyuan ordered to Bingde: "Go and call Lu Xiaowu to come over!"
Bingde responded, and went out of the main hall to Xiao Wu's residence.
When Xiao Wu heard the summons, she guessed that it was the repair of the Xianfu, and she had engaged in such a big battle, and she made the decision without the consent of the master, and now it was time to face it, before Xiao Wu went out, she brought her own planning map.
When he arrived at the Yuanji Palace, Xiao Wu saw that the Xuanyuan masters and apprentices were all in the hall, and the atmosphere was depressed and tense.
Seeing that he was timidly kneeling in front of Xuanyuan, Xiao Wu also knelt beside him and saluted: "Lu Xiaowu greets Master Xuanyuan."
Xuanyuan looked sharply at the little girl kneeling in front of him, who was much thinner, eased his anger, and asked coldly: "Tell me about the repair of the Immortal Mansion."
"Yes, I was taken by the master and asked me to be in charge of the cleaning of the fairy mansion and the care of the flowers and trees, Xiao Wu did not dare to slack off, and hoped to do her duty to repay the teacher's kindness...... I found that there was a dry waterway under the white stone bridge, and I felt that if I could bring water in and grow lotus fish, it would definitely make a big difference to the environment...... I thought that it would be better if I could improve the whole, so Xiao Wu made a plan."
Xiao Wu said, took out the plan from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands.
Bingde took the picture and handed it to the master, Xuanyuan unfolded the picture and looked at it, and continued to twist his eyebrows to look at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu raised his head and met Xuanyuan's cold eyes, hurriedly lowered his head, and continued: "Ah, this is quite a big thing, and it is definitely not something that Xiao Wu can do alone...... Coincidentally, the two highnesses also saw this picture, and they both thanked the master for his exploits for the heavenly court, and they both wanted to do their best, so they invited the immortals to help."
Bingde understood that he was not far from ten, he angrily borrowed the topic to play, and interjected and scolded: "Lu Xiaowu, don't you have a brain? You can't call Zhenjun a master, you can't remember ......."
Xuanyuan waved his hand to stop it, and before Bingde finished speaking, he asked with a heavy face: "Then, why did you disturb the Heavenly Monarch?"
Seeing that Xuanyuan stopped Bingde, Xiao Wu continued to call his master as always, unrepentantly.
"Back to the master's words, His Royal Highness Nine felt that Heavenly Court should make something for the master, so he told the Heavenly Monarch, and the Heavenly Monarch felt the same way, so he sent a work cadre."
It was a deliberate act like a shouting, which caused Bai Zi and Zhanxi to look at each other, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and steal fun.
Bingde's eyes widened angrily, and his hands clenched his fists, if it weren't for the presence of the master, he would definitely scold this stubborn and awkward little thing, but at the moment, he didn't dare to pretend.
Although the little girl's answer was simple and clear, and she didn't seem to be able to find anything wrong, Xuanyuan knew that the cat must be on her, so he continued to ask: "All the immortals are congratulating the deity, and they want to grow old with their bosom friends...... How do you explain this?".
Xuan Yuan's voice became obviously stern, and the apprentices' faces also had anger on their faces, and they only then understood why the master looked so unhappy?
Xiao Wu was obviously flustered, and her words began to be stumbling, "Oh...... I've said it, I've said it, I've said it, I've said ......it, I've said However, my original intention was to say that if there is a good scenery, it will be convenient for the master to find some...... Like-minded confidants, grow old together, if there is ...... Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be misunderstood."
Xuan Yuan was angry and laughed instead of being angry, "Hmph! Misunderstanding?
“......”
Xiao Wu poured her head and didn't reply, it was a fact that she was misunderstood, but she didn't stop it when she found out earlier, and she knew how to say it.
Seeing the little girl's weak heart, Xuanyuan understood everything, his angry fists clenched, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Such a big matter, the master doesn't know it, he makes his own decisions, conceals the truth and deliberately causes misunderstandings, you are really bold...... The deity will never spare you."
Xiao Wu knew that she was at a loss from beginning to end, and she didn't want to explain more unreasonably, she looked up at Xuan Yuan and admitted her mistake: "Master, even if there are thousands of reasons, Xiao Wu knows that there is something wrong and brings trouble to the master, and I can't escape the responsibility." Please punish the master, Xiao Wu will never complain."
It couldn't be clearer, the whole thing was manipulated by this bold little girl, she was clever and clever, deliberately misled the two highnesses to contribute, and alarmed the Heavenly Monarch, so that she now has the embarrassing situation of being roasted on the fire.
Xuan Yuanyin pulled a face and cursed this troublesome little girl in his heart, "If it weren't for you, you were still a child who hadn't grown up, if you were really my apprentice, I would whip you hard, only in this way can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Xuanyuan was not annoyed by the anger, thinking about it, the little girl committed the crime of bullying the king, if she was really discovered, she directed all this, then she only had a dead end. is a very clever child, and she really can't bear to see her die, and besides, she is indeed out of kindness to repay her kindness. If she is driven away, she will be homeless and pitiful, Xuanyuan doesn't know what to do for a while?
Just as he was hesitating, Xuan Yuan saw that his face was full of anger, and he was glaring at the little girl's indifference, so he didn't fight when he was angry, if this bastard apprentice could be optimistic about the fairy mansion and discover the little girl's tricks in time, there would not be such a ridiculous thing.
Xuanyuan was confused for a while, sighed secretly, and spoke: "Punishment, you naturally can't escape...... If you don't neglect supervision, you will be punished to go to the gate of the temple, and kneel for three days to apologize and think about it."
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, he angrily shook his sleeves and left. He loves face the most, but he was completely lost face by a little girl, and he was dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from eating coptis chinensis, Xuanyuan was really depressed and angry!
The sun sets, the mountain birds return to the forest, and the Xiyi Immortal Mansion is beautiful, quiet and solemn in the afterglow of the sunset.
Bu Zhan, Xiao Wu and Cui Er knelt on the stone slab in front of the gate of the Yuanji Palace, Bu Zhan drooped with a stinky face, and kept whispering without saying a word in his mouth.
"You say, why am I so unlucky! It was planted on you, it was all your fault, and I was punished."
"You troublemaker............ Bad spirit!"
"God, it's so unfair, you quickly send two thunderbolts and split this injustice"
“......”
Xiao Wu seemed to turn a deaf ear to the complaints, she pursed her lips tightly, and knelt straight with an expressionless face, not moving or speaking.
Cui'er knelt beside Xiao Wu, and before Xiao Wu, she couldn't get rid of her, so she could only let her go.
Cui'er helped Xiao Wu from time to time, her face full of distress. When did her little master suffer such a sin? Cui'er wanted to say that she would take Xiao Wu away now, but she knew the little master's temperament, and the little master would never run away from what she should bear. The matter is indeed too big, even the Heavenly Monarch is alarmed, this matter always has to be explained, and Cui'er also understands this truth in her heart.
The sun had set and risen, and after kneeling for a day and a night, all three of them were already tired, and their unstained complaints were becoming less and less and weaker, and they all frequently adjusted their kneeling positions to relieve the discomfort on their knees.
Prince Qingtian came to Xiyi Immortal Mansion in the morning, and watched while walking from the big stone gate, and stopped on the white stone bridge to admire the lotus flowers under the bridge.
Xuanyuan came out to greet him, the two of them only glanced at each other, and the three people kneeling in front of the hall walked into the hall.
Xiao Wu stole a glimpse, the prince was full of smiles on his face, and heard him say that he asked Master Xuanyuan to take him elsewhere.
After about an hour, feeling that the pain in her knees was unbearable, Xiao Wu stretched out her arms and lay on the ground, hoping to use the strength of her arms to share some of the weight of her knees, and Cui'er was anxiously brushing her.
Hearing that there was a lot of movement in the Yuanji Palace, Xiao Wu slowly raised his head and looked inside, and the prince Qingtian, who entered through the side door, was looking at it, Xiao Wu quickly lowered his head, and knelt down honestly in a proper manner.
Can faintly hear the sound of conversation in the hall, but can't hear what is being said? Xiao Wu glanced at it a few times, and saw that the prince was holding her plan in his hand, his face was cloudy, and the corners of his mouth were slanted with a sneer, and Master Xuanyuan's face was still gloomy.
Xiao Wu prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the prince would be kind enough to help him beg for a favor and let her go and be unstained.
It was already noon, and Xiao Wu saw the prince and the master walking out of the Yuanji Hall while talking, and stopped in front of the three of them.
Xuanyuan spoke: "Lu Xiaowu, you are self-assertive and bold, Xiyi Immortal Mansion will never be able to keep you anymore." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is merciful, thinking that you have nowhere to go, and decided to admit you to Yongzheng Palace, hoping that you will be good for yourself in the future."
"No, master, I'm not going...... Please don't drive Xiao Wu away, I am willing to be punished in any way, just beg not to drive me out of the Immortal Mansion...... Ask the master......"
Xiao Wu's tears gushed out, and she kowtowed again and again, begging for mercy. She can't go to Yongzheng Palace, she wants to find her family, she can't!
Xuanyuan's eyes were cold, and his face was resolute, "Hugh said more...... Let's go".
"I'm not leaving...... Ask the master, don't drive away Xiao Wu......"
The crown prince shook his fingers, turned the crying Xiao Wu into a small one, put it in his sleeve, and took it out to leave the Xiyi Immortal Mansion together.
Cui'er, who was about to step forward to snatch Xiao Wu, was detained by the senior brother Bingde and clicked on the acupoint, she looked at the little master with tears in her eyes, and was taken away by the prince Qingtian with a swagger.
