Kunlun Palace.

The bronze toad incense burner on the table was half-covered, and a smoke of jade sandalwood swirled.

The afternoon sun poured down, shining on the corner of the glazed eaves outside the hall, like lighting up the bright transparent beads, reflecting half of the sky.

A cluster of light and shadow condensed on the window lattice, like a warm and refreshing curtain, and the faint shadow on the ground is also very soft, like a light yellow palace lamp that has been eliminated from the fire, although it is also bright and shining, but it is extremely warm.

"Brother Tang, Ziqi of Shushan, scolded me for being a little hoof fox. Zi Ning flattened her mouth and sat next to Yue Hengtang, staring at his face with a pair of eyes, complaining about the grievances in her belly.

Some words are uncomfortable in the stomach, and they must be spoken. I can't hide all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in my heart, and I want to talk to him.

The sunlight shone in through the window and fell on a corner of the elongated table, and Yue Hengtang sat cross-legged, and the white clothes and cloud sleeves spread all over the black tong-colored mat.

He lowered his eyebrows, slowly moved his pen to write, and said with a faint smile: "When they say something useless, they show jealousy, you don't have to pay attention to it." The handwriting carefully fell on the soft white paper, and it was written carefully and carefully.

Yesterday, Zi Ning said that many words were not recognized and could not be written, since she wanted to learn to write, he helped her, "Look at these words, do you recognize them?" He wrote a long one, and the strokes seemed to be smooth.

Zi Ning stretched his neck to take a look, his head was as big as a bucket, and in front of him was a line of ancient seal characters, with complex curved strokes, like tadpole scripts in the heavenly book, and he couldn't understand what it was.

She scratched her head, carefully identified it for a long time, and barely saw a few familiar words, "This is the sky, this is the heart, and this is the big ......" The ancient seal book is word by word, and the strokes are dense, and I don't know what to say at all.

I suddenly felt ashamed, I had been studying hard for more than ten years, and I was almost as illiterate as an open-eyed and blind person, and I didn't even recognize an ancient seal character.

I was secretly depressed in my heart, and I came through the immortal realm, and I couldn't use my previous wisdom and knowledge, "I think I was also familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Piano level 10, chess kills ten sides, can write a beautiful Roman alphabet, Western oil painting skills are even more perfect. ”

It's a pity that the crossing is not at the right time, and there is no talent to cross.

If she is allowed to write with a brush, it must be more ugly than a hen's claw scratching the soil. I can't help but sigh, "A good woman is virtuous if she is not talented, I was really deceived!"

"Heaven punishes jealousy, and they die together. The virtue of simplicity and elegance can be accommodating. Yue Hengtang pointed to the handwriting and read softly one by one, "You learn to write these words first, and then learn new ones tomorrow." ”

Huan Ling sat aside to sort out the books, turned her head and saw Zi Ning's face tense, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and snickered in a low voice: "Ning'er, such a difficult thing as reading and writing cannot be forced." You might as well learn how to embroider and sew a close-fitting sachet tassel for the emperor, and maybe you can still use it. ”

She glanced at the ancient seal characters, and saw that it was crooked, and she couldn't understand it at all.

"No!" Zi Ning snatched the text panel into her hand, and said hatefully: "I made soup for Brother Tang, and they scolded me for being a little hoof fox, I must learn to write, write a long article and scold back." ”

Twisting a comfortable posture, his head was tilted on Yue Hengtang's shoulder, his eyes narrowed, he looked at a piece of writing in his hand, and read aloud: "Heaven is jealous, and they will die together." The virtue of simplicity and elegance can be accommodating. "She is extremely smart, listening to Yue Hengtang read it once, she can remember the content, even if she can't read the handwriting, she can read it like it.

Suddenly, a light sandalwood floated out of Yue Hengtang's body, Zi Ning hurriedly turned his head, approached his neck, and sucked hard, looking coquettish and very comfortable and enjoyable.

Yue Hengtang's white-clothed cloud sleeves were raised, and he gently hugged her, with a smile in his eyes, "You can't boil soup or not, you have nothing to do with them, I just like it." ”

Huan Ling clapped his hands and smiled: "Ning'er listen, the Emperor said that he likes it, so you don't have to pay attention to those people." As he spoke, he got up, took the boiled tonic soup from the stove that had just been extinguished, served it in a thick celadon bowl, and brought it to the table in front of Yue Hengtang.

Zi Ning pestered Yue Hengtang and said with a smile: "You said you liked it, so you drank this bowl." She used staghorn vine with red hemp root to boil the tonic soup, mellow and delicious, but also can strengthen the bones and strengthen the meridians.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a voice outside the hall shouting: "The head of Shu Mountain, the White Empress of Han Ying, has arrived, the Jingxiao Goddess of Danxue Mountain has arrived, and the Goddess of Shushan Qianji Ziqi has arrived——"

In a moment, many old women and maids have embraced a white-clothed beauty, a pure white silk silk robe, and the overlapping embroidered gold lines on the placket, reflecting her fairy posture and intoxicating, luxurious and extraordinary.

The goddess of Jingxiao, the fairy queen of Kunlun.

She came hand in hand with Han Yingbai, the head of Shushan, followed by a girl wearing a flower-colored skirt, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, wearing flowers, bowing her head and sneering, it was Shushan Ziqi who had a holiday with Zining.

Jing Xiao dressed up, walked into the hall slowly, and came to Yue Hengtang, with a voice like a yellow oriole and said shyly: "Jing Xiao has seen the Kunlun Emperor. He bowed slightly, raised his head, and looked forward to a pair of bright eyes.

Although she has a deep relationship with Yuehengtang's childhood sweetheart, she is now the Kunlun Immortal Queen, and in front of everyone, she must guard the etiquette of the immortal clan's dignity and humility, and she can't call Yuehengtang by name.

As soon as Zi Ning saw many people entering the hall, she hurriedly wanted to get up, but was pulled by Yue Hengtang and clasped tightly by her side, not allowing her to move.

Han Yingbai's face rarely showed a smile, and for a while, his face was full of spring breeze, and he threw a look of approval at Jingxiao, then looked at Yuehengtang, and said with a smile: "Jingxiao Goddess is really the concubine of the immortal clan, and the absolute emperor is very blessed to be able to get this fairy queen." ”

Jing Xiao's gaze drifted to Zi Ning, and her expression became very complicated. For a moment, his face showed a crimson color, he lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, "The head of the Han family has a good reputation, the immortal clan is the most important etiquette and rules, and Jingxiao doesn't dare to trespass." He twisted a white gold-inlaid handkerchief in his hand, and his expression was shy, very lovable.

Zi Ning saw her appearance, and sure enough, she had the bearing of an immortal goddess, and compared herself to herself.

Yue Hengtang shut up, lowered his head and placed the brush on the inkstone beside him, turned the bronze engraving on his thumb, and said for a while: "The rules and customs of the immortal clan have always been justified. During the period of Jingxiao's marriage and ceremony, Kunlun had not yet drawn up a date, and the goddess of the fairy clan was so casual that she did not know how to avoid it, and she did not meet the rules of employment at all, which was not right. Jingxiao is bound to be ridiculed, and she also lacks fame. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Jingxiao's face turned pale, biting her lip tightly, her eyes showed a burst of panic, but she didn't know what to do.

Before the wedding, according to the rules of the immortal clan, she should not have shown her face and took the initiative to come to Kunlun to see the emperor. But there was an invitation from the head of Shushan to go, and he felt that he and Yue Hengtang had no guesses since childhood, and they were originally close people, so it didn't matter if they were not polite.

But what Jingxiao didn't expect was that Yue Hengtang would blame her for such a reason.

Han Ying's white face twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "The people of the immortal clan are not bound to ordinary things, the absolute emperor and Jingxiao have long been related, and the big wedding will be held after the winter festival, so why make it so difficult?"

As he was speaking, a cyan light suddenly floated outside the hall, and Dongling was handsome, with a face like jade, and walked into the hall. Everyone was silent, unexpectedly the sudden appearance of the prince of Tanglin.

He looked around indifferently at everyone and said slowly: "The head of Han's words are wrong, Jingxiao's visit to Kunlun is indeed inappropriate, and the immortal clan never accepts unscrupulous women." Jingxiao promised to be the queen of immortals for the absolute emperor, and he should obey the gift of accepting names and colors. What's more, the marriage match is a big wedding ceremony, and there should also be a guard of honor for the sedan chair. entered the Kunlun Wonderland so rashly, but it was like a concubine, and it humiliated the identity of the goddess of Jingxiao. ”

As soon as Tanglin heard that Jingxiao had entered Kunlun, he was worried that Zi Ning would have a conflict with her, so he hurried over. After saying that, his eyes drifted to Zi Ning, and when he saw that her face was radiant, her eyes were as black as grapes, and she was smiling at him, she immediately put her mind at ease, "This little girl, her injury is finally healed." ”

"Absolute Emperor, I-" Jingxiao lowered her head, her face was flushed, although she knew that Dongling was reasonable, but she also deeply complained that Yue Hengtang brushed her face in public. With his hands twisting his clothes, he couldn't stand or walk, which was extremely embarrassing and embarrassing.

Han Yingbai was stunned, and said with a smile: "The immortal clan accepts relatives, the etiquette is the heaviest, and you can't be sloppy." Although Jing Xiao's move was inappropriate, the elders of the Immortal Clan decided on this family matter, and the Absolute Emperor also had to take into account the feelings of the entire Immortal Clan and Danxue Mountain. If Jingxiao goes back to Danxue Mountain like this, it will really make people laugh. ”

The corners of Yue Hengtang's mouth twitched lightly, his face remained silent, and he said: "Of course, Kunlun welcomes you to come here, but Jingxiao's identity at this time is my sister-in-law, not Kunlun's fairy queen." Raising his eyes and looking at Jingxiao, "You just have to stay, the dormitory where you lived back then is still there, you can be more casual, you don't have to follow the rules." ”

Jingxiao turned his eyes to look at him, and felt relieved, and hurriedly changed his title: "Brother Hengtang invited me kindly, and I should be grateful." ”

Two blushes appeared on her face, and she felt very sweet. He tried his best to maintain her reputation, which showed that he cared about her in his heart.

Ziqi watched coldly, and secretly scolded Jingxiao for being stupid in her heart, "There is no identity as an immortal queen in Kunlun, how can you suppress Zining!"

Tanglin nodded and smiled: "This is the best, Jingxiao will temporarily live in Kunlun as a guest, and wait for the elders of the Immortal Clan to exterminate the remnants of the Heavenly Demons, and then discuss the matter of marriage." ”

Saying that, he looked at Zi Ning, the marriage of the immortal clan could not be changed, and the only thing he could help Zi Ning was to find ways to delay the marriage of Emperor Jue and Jing Xiao.

At this time, a slender girl walked in, stepped forward slowly, and said with a tender smile: "Nujia Luo'er sees the emperor." Raising his head to look at Yue Hengtang, his eyes turned to stare at the celadon bowl containing soup on the table.

Yue Hengtang asked, "What's the matter?"

Luo Er's eyes flickered, and she said softly: "The slave family is from the Taoist clan, and I don't understand the etiquette of the immortal clan. I implore the Emperor to let the slave family follow the Jingxiao Priestess and serve the left and right, and also have the opportunity to learn the rules and etiquette of the immortal clan. ”

Yue Hengtang raised his eyes and glanced at Luo'er, pondered for a moment, and said indifferently: "In the future, you don't have to come to the palace to serve, just follow Jingxiao." Then he turned his eyes back, but he didn't look at Jingxiao at all.

Some feelings don't have to linger, it's good to break them when they are broken.

Luo Er saluted and thanked her, pursed her lips and smiled: "I am really lucky, I can learn the rules from the Jingxiao Priestess, which is also an honor for the Dao clan." His eyes flickered twice, and he suddenly clapped his hands and said: "In the past few days, I have learned to make soup with Miss Zining, and I have made a lot of progress. ”

"Boil tonic soup?" Han Yingbai looked at the bowl placed on the table and asked, "The Absolute Emperor is the body of the Divine Monarch, and he should have cut off his diet in Bigu, why do you still want to drink tonic soup?"

Luo Er hurriedly shook her head: "That's what Miss Zining boiled-"

Han Ying's white face changed, and he said in a cold voice: "The Absolute Emperor is still in captivity, and he doesn't know what the remnants of the Heavenly Demon are doing, and he is pervasive. This head is already the leader of the immortal clan, and for the sake of the safety of the Absolute Emperor, all meals used should be strictly inspected. ”

Yue Hengtang lowered his head and was silent, he couldn't see a strange expression on his face, and said indifferently for a while: "Don't bother with the head of Han, I can trust Zining." ”

Jingxiao's eyes widened, her expression worried, and she suddenly said, "I can't trust her, this tonic soup must be tested." As he spoke, he stepped forward and took out a silver armor hairpin from his sleeve to test the poison, and was about to reach out to test it.

"Wait. Han Yingbai raised her hand to stop her, and Zhengse said: "Jingxiao had something to do with Zining in the past, if you go forward to test for drugs, if there is a problem, it will make people suspect that you deliberately framed you." It's better to let Kunlun's concubine go to the test. ”

He turned his head to look at Luo'er and said, "You go over and inspect the tonic soup." ”

Luo Er had a touch of grievance in her eyes, shook her head and said: "Master Han doesn't have to be like this, how can this soup be poisonous, Miss Zining works hard to make soup every day, and the Emperor has drunk it for more than ten days, and it is all good......"

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and they will know only after testing. Han Yingbai's expression was serious and she insisted on her own opinion. Luo'er's body trembled, and she didn't dare to look at her.

"Okay, come and check it out. A smile appeared at the corner of Yue Hengtang's mouth, "Luo'er, just use your poison-testing silver hairpin." ”

Luo'er said "um", walked slowly to the table, and bowed down, "The slave obeys." "He took out a delicate long jade box from his sleeve, opened the lid, and took out a shiny silver armor hairpin.

Raising his hand to lift the lid of the bowl, a wisp of warm aroma came out. Luo Er was slightly nervous, and the silver hairpin gently poked into the tonic soup.

The silver armor hairpin is a unique poison testing device of the immortal clan, and its reaction to poison is more acute than that of ordinary silver hairpins, and it can also be tested against poisonous fairy grass spirit flowers.

After a while, Luo'er lifted the silver hairpin, put it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is non-toxic, and the head of Han can rest assured now." ”

The hairpin was shiny silver, and there was no sign of poison.

Zi Ning's eyes looked at Luo Er, who was smiling, and then at Han Yingbai, who was expressionless, only to feel that there was a strangeness in this matter, and there seemed to be something wrong.

A heart jumped uneasily, as if a crisis was slowly approaching her.

Suddenly, I heard Ziqi scream: "The silver armor hairpin is black, and the soup is poisonous!"

Zi Ning's heart "chuckled", and looked at the hairpin in Luo'er's hand in horror, and sure enough, she saw that the top of the hairpin was faintly black, and half of the hairpin was dyed in an instant, and the color became more and more black and heavy.
