Chapter 18: Can't afford it
Although Chu Chu's voice is gentle, there is also a sense of fortitude contained in it.
Hua Mei quietly raised her head and glanced at Chu Chu, this time she was stunned, and she didn't even know that Bi Xianqing pulled herself up. Chu Chu's eyes are bright, and his eyebrows are long. Clever smile, Meimu Panxi is probably talking about this kind of person. The sentence of dumping the beings of the Three Realms is really not bragging.
Chu Chu glanced at Ji Chuyou, and Ji Chuyou re-plucked the strings and played another tune. Chu Chu danced slowly to Ji Chuyou's tune. The clothes fluttered in the wind, and Chu Chu looked like a golden phoenix hovering over the city tower. All the subjects of the Gathering Spirit Country, whether they were humans, demons or gods, looked at the castle tower intently, clasped their palms together and prayed silently, giving them the most sincere blessings of the princess.
After Chu Chu finished dancing, he drove the crane and left. Ji Chuyou shouted loudly on the city tower: "Today is the birthday of the eldest princess, and the king announced that the whole country will celebrate together, whether it is my gathering spirit people or foreign guests, you can enter the palace to enjoy a banquet and celebrate the princess's birthday." ”
After Ji Chuyou finished speaking, the subjects below cheered. The door of the castle tower slowly opened, and Hua Mei and Bi Xianqing entered the city with the others.
Hua Mei tugged on Bi Xianqing's sleeve and whispered: "This king of Juling really loves his daughter, and he actually let all his subjects celebrate his birthday together." ”
This also illustrates the prestige of this princess in the Gathering Spirit Country. Bi Xianqing whispered.
"Have you seen the princess's face, the princess is really beautiful. "Hua Mei looks like a nymphomaniac.
"I didn't see it. Bi Xianqing said.
"Alas, you're really a blind man. Hua Mei looked at Bi Xianqing and shook her head. Bi Xianqing didn't say anything more.
As they continued to move forward, Bi Xianqing and Hua Mei entered the banquet to entertain the people. There is no distinction between the noble and the low, and everyone sits together. Hua Mei liked this atmosphere very much, and pulled Bi Xianqing to find a random place to sit down and start eating.
Hua Mei only cared about burying her head in eating, but Bi Xianqing talked with the sitting immortals or demons around him from time to time. One of the horse-headed and tiger-like divine beasts mingled with Bi Xianqing. The two of them were talking, and Bi Xianqing knew that his name was Lu Shu.
Lu Shu knew that he was an outsider, so he briefly introduced the current situation of the Gathering Spirit Kingdom to him. The king of the Gathering Spirit Kingdom, Gongsun Chilong, is the thirty-seventh king of the Gathering Spirit Kingdom, and his people have all become the Red King. Due to the mixing of the three clans of the Gathering Spirit Country, there are still many spirit beasts living here, and the royal family calls the people the heavenly spirits, one meaning is that the life of all things in heaven and earth is conceived by the aura of God, and the other meaning expresses the royal family's respect for the people.
Lu Shu said a lot, and Bi Xianqing also had a general understanding of the situation in the Gathering Spirit Country. The two continued to talk, and Hua Mei also came over curiously.
Lu Shu looked at a beautiful little girl and came over, so he turned into a handsome man in the form of a beast, although he was not as good-looking as Bi Xianqing, but his appearance and bearing were far above ordinary people.
Hua Mei let out a surprised "wow" and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Lu Shu replied with a smile: "I laughed, my mother is a Lushu Divine Beast, but my father is an immortal monarch, I have inherited the bloodline of my father and mother, so I can change my body shape at will." ”
"I see. Bi Xianqing said with a smile.
Hua Mei curiously and boldly poked Lu Shu's face, it was really the same as flesh and blood, Bi Xianqing slapped Hua Mei's hand, Hua Mei immediately retracted her hand, Bi Xianqing scolded: "Take care of your claws, why are you so unruly." ”
Bi Xianqing smiled at Lu Shu again: "Brother Lu Shu, don't mind, children don't know how to be polite." After Bi Xianqing finished speaking, he glared at Hua Mei again. Hua Mei raised her chin and ignored Bi Xianqing.
Lu Shu smiled casually and said, "It's okay, it's normal to be curious, I look at this little girl quite cute." ”
Bi Xianqing nodded and smiled, subconsciously blocked Hua Mei behind him, and continued to talk to Lu Shu as if nothing happened.
Lu Shu held the glass cup and asked Bi Xianqing: "Brother Bi has made a special trip to gather the spirit country this time, where do you want to go?"
Bi Xianqing replied, "We are going to Fuyao Sect, but we are just passing through the Gathering Spirit Country to stop here for a while. ”
Lu Shu said: "The Gathering Spirit Country is not a good place. Dare to ask Brother Bi if he went to the Fuyao Sect to practice?"
Bi Xianqing said: "Not bad. Cultivation is just one of the purposes, and I still have to fulfill the last wish of my predecessors when I go to the Fuyao Sect. ”
Lu Shu put down the wine glass and said seriously: "Fuyao Sect is indeed a good place to practice, Yuanzhi, the head of Fuyao Sect, was almost ranked as an immortal, but he was stopped by Mrs. Yaoguang, and the tribulation failed and he was seriously injured. I've been in retreat for 10 years now, and I don't know when I'll be able to get out. ”
"Well," Bi Xianqing nodded, "In this way, this Lady Yaoguang is a powerful master. ”
"The daughter of the mountain god of Zhaoyao Mountain, can you not be powerful!" Lu Shu said with a chuckle.
Bi Xianqing wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Hua Mei gently tugged at Bi Xianqing's clothes and said, "Ah Yue, I want to go to the toilet." ”
Bi Xianqing blushed all of a sudden, and said softly: "Go, come back quickly." ”
Hua Mei slipped into place gently, and Bi Xianqing continued to talk to Lu Shu without a word.
Hua Mei walked around left and right by herself, but she didn't find a convenient place. Hua Mei walked along the cobblestone path, and unconsciously walked into a bamboo forest, in the bamboo forest, a girl dressed as a palace person was digging bamboo shoots, Hua Mei walked forward and asked softly: "This sister, how to go to the toilet?"
As soon as the girl raised her head, a stunning face appeared in front of Hua Mei's eyes.
"Male... Public... Princess?" said Hua Mei in surprise.
Chu Chu smiled, Hua Mei felt that her heart was full of happy flowers, "The toilet is behind the bamboo forest, you can go." Chu Chu's voice was gentle and soft, and Hua Mei felt that her blood veins were smooth after listening to it.
Hua Mei nodded mechanically, walked towards the back of the bamboo forest, and when she arrived at the door of the toilet, Hua Mei actually forgot what she was here for. There was another sharp pain in her stomach, and Hua Mei regained consciousness and went to the toilet.
It took a long time for Hua Mei to come out, both legs were a little numb, and one fell unsteadily on a bush. Hua Mei got up with a big stone next to her, and with a "snort", Hua Mei's clothes were scraped by the branches of the shrub, revealing a snow-white lotus root.
Hua Mei sighed and thought she was unlucky, pulled her sleeves up and walked forward.
Walking to the bamboo forest, I saw that Chu Chu was still digging bamboo shoots there, and Hua Mei stepped forward to salute and called the princess.
Chu Chu turned his head to look at Hua Mei and said softly, "Don't be formal." With that, he squatted down and continued to dig bamboo shoots.
"Princess, isn't it your birthday? Why are you digging bamboo shoots here? Hua Mei looked at Chu Chu as easy-going and amiable, and boldly stepped forward and asked.
Chu Chu replied with a smile: "I come here every year to dig bamboo shoots." Because my father likes to eat bamboo shoots here. Although it is my birthday, as long as the heavenly spirits are happy, it doesn't matter how I spend my birthday. ”
"Princess, you are so kind, what a good princess. Hua Mei said.
Chu Chu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, I see that you must be very kind." ”
Hua Mei blushed embarrassedly and lowered her head, "Thank you, princess, for the compliment." I won't bother you, princess, I'll go back first. Hua Mei said that she was about to leave.
"You're back. Chu Chu stopped Hua Mei, "I see that your clothes are torn, you can go with me to change your clothes." ”
"No, no, no. Hua Mei hurriedly waved her hand and said.
"It's okay, come with me. Chu Chu smiled and got up and pulled Hua Mei out, turned left and right along the path in the bamboo forest, and arrived at a palace that was not very gorgeous but extremely exquisite.
As soon as Chu Chu came in, the palace maids around him saluted Chu Chu.
"Oh, didn't I say I wouldn't let you salute, get up quickly. Chu Chu said.
"The princess is back. A woman dressed in red greeted her.
"Tong Guan, this is the bamboo shoots I dug up, and I will find someone to get them and send them to my father in a while. Also, take this little sister to change her clothes. Chu Chu commanded.
"Yes, princess. Come with me, little girl. Tong Guan took the basket of bamboo shoots in Chu Chu's hand, and beckoned to Hua Mei to follow.
Tong Guan handed the basket to a little palace maid, gave a few soft commands, and then pulled Hua Mei to an inner room.
"Little girl, what's your name?" asked Tong Guan with a smile.
"My name is Flower Charm. Hua Mei also replied with a smile.
"Hua Mei, can you choose to wear my previous dress? Tong Guan said, and took out a lake-green dress.
"Sister Tongguan, do you really want to give me this dress?" Hua Mei couldn't believe it when she looked at the clothes in Tongguan's hand.
"Yes, of course it's for you. This is my clothes from previous years, when I was as thin as you, and now I am too tall to wear them. Tong Guan said with a smile.
"No, no, I can't afford such good clothes. Hua Mei said with a red face.
"What can't you bear, the princess asked me to change your clothes, I'm afraid that my old clothes will wronged you, the princess blames me! Tong Guan didn't wait for Hua Mei to answer, so he pulled Hua Mei to change her clothes.
"The size is just right, you look so good, you look good in anything. Tong Guan said with a smile.
Hua Mei looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't believe it was herself. The girl has a graceful posture and is polite. Hua Mei smiled slightly, and was actually amazed by herself. I took off my ragged linen, and it was like this. But looking at his messy chicken nest head, he rubbed his hair with a red face.
"It's so good-looking, Sister Tongguan, thank you. Hua Mei looked at Tong Guan and said in surprise.
"Come, come with me over here. Tong Guan pulled Hua Mei to the dresser and sat down.
Tong Guan untied the hairband that was tied up by Hua Mei, and Hua Mei's hair poured down instantly. Tong Guan took an ivory comb and combed Hua Mei's hair little by little.
