Chapter 25 The first little phoenix
Chapter 25 The first little phoenix
In the blink of an eye, it was more than three months, and the once-in-a-thousand-year feast in the heavens was about to come.
She is wearing a vermilion gold phoenix robe, with her tail swaying to the ground, and she wears a bright yellow peony tube top inside.Wearing a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, her long black hair was tied into a simple bun.
Xijin did not apply any powder or daisy, and the usual proud and indifferent face added a bit of joy, making it even more glamorous and moving.
Several jets of water turned into a round mirror, with sea-blue lines forming delicate patterns around it.
The turbulent azure sea water gradually calmed down, clearly reflecting Xijin's slender figure, as well as Hua Yun who was still dressed in white.
Xi Jin looked at the shadow of the silent man reflected in a corner of the mirror, and pursed her lips unwillingly.She pinched a corner of the phoenix robe, turned it half a circle, and asked: "Hua Yun, how is it?"
Hua Yun, who was called by name, sighed in a low voice before raising his eyes to look at Xi Jin's profile.The vermilion phoenix robe made her skin look fairer, and when she raised her hand to support the phoenix hairpin, a small lotus root arm was exposed, and the blood jade bracelet on her bright wrist was even more elegant.
It is indeed beautiful, even in this heaven where beauties gather, it is overwhelming.
It's a pity that he couldn't appreciate it.
Hua Yun took a step forward, bowed his body, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are unparalleled in beauty, no matter how you wear it, you must be dazzling, not to mention that this brocade dress complements your beauty even more."
"Ah."
Hearing Hua Yun's words, Xi Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and then helped the phoenix hairpin on his head, then turned around leisurely, found a seat beside him and sat down.
She raised her finger casually, and the water mirror shattered in an instant, and the drops of water vaporized in the air, and the white mist disappeared in an instant.
Xi Jin leaned lazily in the imperial concubine chair, leaning on the armrest with her elbows, propped her head on one hand, and looked at Hua Yun who was hanging her head aside.She hummed softly.
"You can speak."
Hua Yun replied sincerely: "Xiaoxian speaks from the bottom of his heart."
"Is it."
Xi Jin moved her hands, smoothed the folds of the robe, and said absently: "Then how about I wear this dress at the banquet tomorrow?"
The scarlet phoenix robe was originally only worn by queen mothers and empresses, but in recent hundreds of years, queen mothers rarely showed up, so many fairies imitated it.Xijin is no exception.
"Beauty is beauty, it's just..."
Hua Yun paused for a moment, and got the timing right, and then he continued when Xi Jin could no longer bear his temper: "It's just a little bit out of order."
How could Xijin, who has lived in the heaven for hundreds of years, not know the etiquette and rules of the heaven?
Xi Jin sneered: "Oh? You have not been in the Heaven Realm for a long time, so you know a lot about the rules." The laughing tone was full of teasing.
Hua Yun didn't care much about her attitude, lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and said gently: "Xiaoxian will naturally try her best to do what needs to be learned."
Xi Jin casually knocked on the armrest, and said: "Then you have been here with me for more than a hundred days, so you must know about my temper."
"Your Majesty is gentle and virtuous, and treats people very well. Xiaoxian will remember it in her heart, and she will be grateful." Hua Yun said.
"Stop being glib." Xi Jin turned her face away, "There is no need to put on airs in front of Ben Gong. Hua Yun, you should also know that what Ben Gong wants, he will never let go."
"It turns out that the lady was referring to this phoenix robe..."
Hua Yun looked suddenly enlightened, Xi Jin pursed his lips in disdain, looked sideways at him, and waited for his next words.
I saw Hua Yun frowned slightly, and said with a little doubt: "This is something that only queen mothers can wear...yours..."
"The Queen Mother will not be there tomorrow." Xi Jin interrupted Hua Yun, and gave him a meaningful look, "Furthermore, I am the Jade Emperor's biological sister."
Hua Yun was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what Xi Jin was saying.
If I want to wear you, what can you do to me?Asking you to propose is just to give you face, and the Jade Emperor hasn't said anything else, so what can you do?
Women's ostentation and jealousy are inflated all the time.Facing a person who is better than himself in some aspects, he will seize his weakness and hit him hard.And the other party's embarrassment and powerlessness are her own greatest pride and victory.
Hua Yun has a clear understanding of this point, so he always keeps a smile around women as creatures.It's just that the current situation doesn't allow him to do so.
Hua Yun was deeply moved, and with a helpless smile on his face, he brought out his trump card: "If you insist on doing this, then Xiaoxian will have to report it to Lord Heavenly Emperor, and let Lord Heavenly Emperor decide for himself."
"God?"
Xi Jin smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Speaking of the Emperor of Heaven... Since you came to this palace, has the Emperor of Heaven ever visited you? It's a pity that this palace only regarded you as an opponent at that time. Looking at it now, Your position in the heart of the Emperor of Heaven is nothing more than that. You said that if you report this matter to the Emperor of Heaven, will the Emperor of Heaven stand on your side, or will he follow my wishes?"
"..."
Hua Yun was silent for a while, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and he was really helpless.
This is not the first time.
A few days ago, when something was mentioned about Jiuyuan, Xijin was able to bring the topic to this aspect.What made Hua Yun feel dizzy when he heard the word Tiandi.
Hua Yun sighed, and explained again: "Niangniang, you misunderstood. Where the Heavenly Emperor stands is entirely up to the Heavenly Emperor himself. Xiaoxian dare not speculate."
"Misunderstanding?" Xi Jin only grasped this word, his voice suddenly became cold, and the ending of the upward pick was a bit sharp.
"Yes." Hua Yun said helplessly, "The relationship between Xiaoxian and Heavenly Emperor is not what you think."
Xijin's five fingers holding the armrest gradually tightened, and after a moment of silence, he sneered and said, "Although the running water is ruthless, I'm afraid that the falling flowers have intentions."
"..."
Hua Yun felt that he really couldn't explain clearly.
According to Xijin, no matter what I say, I will be attributed to "a person who relies on his face to eat without success but does not give up".
A woman's heart, a sea needle.Emotions are also like the changeable sky, cloudy and sunny.
Hua Yun knew that there would be no result if he continued to argue like this, and it would only make Xijin feel more resentful towards him, so he lowered his expression, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Xiaoxian is only following the rules of the heavens that Xiaoxian knows, I heard that the empress is broad-minded, if there is something that offends the empress, please ask the empress to be Han."
But Xijin didn't want to let him go on this issue, but softened his tone a little and said, "Is this an acquiescence? But you don't have to compliment me. You have been with me for more than a hundred days, and I can see that Your attitude. Why bother to disagree."
Hua Yun was speechless and responded with silence.
a long time.
Xi Jin didn't hear Hua Yun's voice, so he raised his eyes to Hua Yun who still had his head down and his expression was unclear: "What? I have nothing to say?"
Hua Yun shook his head, and said flatly: "Xiaoxian just lost his mind, please forgive me. But Xiaoxian still wants to remind you that this suit does not match your identity, why not change to a seven-tailed phoenix , is more suitable for your identity." After a pause, he said, "Please think again."
Finished.
The low ending sound dissipated in the air, leaving only the soft breathing and heartbeat of the two of them in the room.
"Hua Yun!"
For a long while, Xi Jin stared at his figure and narrowed his eyes, and said word by word: "I ask you, it's for your face. It's not to give you unbridled power!"
Hua Yun bowed his head and replied: "This is the job of Xiaoxian."
"Oh?" Xi Jin sneered, and sat up straight, "Who allowed it? You don't even think that you can manage to live in this palace with your status?"
"Xiaoxian is only ordered by the Emperor of Heaven—"
"Don't tell me about the Emperor of Heaven!"
Xi Jin interrupted Hua Yun harshly.The eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a stern look in the eyes.
"I've been with me for more than a hundred days, and I haven't done anything practical. You are very handy at making me angry!"
The sharp voice could not help but make Hua Yun frowned subconsciously, he straightened his body, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, forgive me—"
There was no trace of apology in his tone.
Hua Yun looked indifferent, his brows only frowned and then relaxed again, Xi Jin was very angry, but it didn't affect Hua Yun in the slightest.
"Good good-"
Xi Jin grabbed the things beside him without looking at them and threw them at Hua Yun, angrily: "You are really—"
"crunch-"
——The sound stopped abruptly.
The door opened suddenly.
Xi Jin shrank her hands subconsciously, and swallowed back the rest of the second half of the sentence "so courageous".
"What's the matter?"
Following the sound, it was Jiu Yuan who Hua Yun hadn't seen for a hundred days.
Today, Jiu Yuan is wearing a court dress with a black and silver border, and the jade crown on his head has not been removed.Based on Hua Yun's understanding of him, Jiu Yuan has never liked jade crowns to tie his hair, but today he not only did not take off the jade crowns but also did not change the court clothes, so he had to explain that Jiu Yuan had something urgent to come here to explain to others.It's just that Hua Yun couldn't think of whether Jiuyuan came for Xijin or for him.
"Lord Heavenly Emperor——"
Xijin called out nervously, hurriedly threw away the things she was holding, and hurriedly got up to pay respects.
Hua Yun just glanced lightly, seeing that Jiu Yuan's eyes were not looking at him, he lowered his head again, and retreated to the side silently.
"No need."
Jiu Yuan stepped forward, holding Xi Jin's body who was about to bow down.
With a groan, Xi Jin fell limply into Jiu Yuan's arms.
"..."
Hua Yun suddenly felt that it was not easy for Jiu Yuan to live these years, and at the same time, he also found that Xi Jin was more... speechless than the women he had ever seen.
He had naively thought that Ruiyu was the weirdest woman in the world, but he forgot that there are different types of weirdness.
Pretentious, stupid little trick.
It made Hua Yun understand a truth: poor people must have something to hate.
Seeing this touching and indescribable scene out of the corner of his eyes, Hua Yun silently sighed in his heart.
Jiu Yuan helped Xi Jin up in his arms with a blank expression, and pulled a little distance away from her.
This subtle movement made the proud Xi Jin stunned, and looked at Jiu Yuan blankly, not knowing why.
Xi Jin looked at Jiu Yuan's expression, and asked cautiously: "But what did Xi Jin do wrong?"
Jiu Yuan looked up at her indifferently, then looked away, and shook his head, "No. Tomorrow, I can change into ordinary clothes and have a banquet with me."
Xijin froze all of a sudden, looked at Jiu Yuan and then turned to look at Hua Yun who was speechless, and after a long time, he lowered his head and clenched the skirts on both sides tightly with both hands, moaning as thin as a mosquito: "Yes. "
Xijin didn't expect the emperor's attitude towards him to change so much.Yesterday the Emperor of Heaven told him to do as he pleases, but today he became so indifferent, he didn't want to give too much charity at a glance.
"From tomorrow on, Hua Yun won't have to follow you. If you still need someone, just say so." Jiu Yuan said.
Xi Jin slightly raised his head, forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Lord Heavenly Emperor, but Xi Jin no longer needs any more servants."
Jiu Yuan nodded clearly, and said in a deep voice, "That's good."
Xi Jin pinched the corner of her clothes and asked hesitantly, "Why are you here..."
"It's nothing serious." Jiu Yuan shook his head and interrupted Xi Jin's words, "I still need to explain Hua Yun's matter to him tomorrow, so I just came here. You can do whatever you want, you don't have to be so restrained."
Clearly guessing that the emperor's trip was not caused by him, Xijin asked again without giving up, but after getting the answer, it only aggravated the sadness in his heart.
Xi Jin bit her lower lip, her body trembled slightly, and she looked like she was about to cry and made people feel pitiful.But no one saw it.
Even Xijin's voice was trembling, and he said with difficulty: "If you have something to tell him, then...then Xijin will leave first."
After saying that, before Jiu Yuan could make a sound, she blessed her body, lowered her head and walked outside.
"No need." Jiuyuan's voice stopped Xijin's footsteps.
Jiu Yuan turned his head and met Shang Xijin's blank eyes, "I'll go out to talk with him. Hua Yun—"
Hua Yun stepped forward neatly: "Xiaoxian is here."
"Come with me."
Jiu Yuan indifferently withdrew his gaze, didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked towards the door, Hua Yun followed closely behind him.Neither of them looked at their heads.
The sound of light footsteps gradually disappeared.
Xijin lowered her head, but her bent body never straightened up again.The ten fingers pinched the robe tightly, the knuckles turned white, and the hatred surged in the eyes.
a long time.
The door was not closed, and Lan Qiao did not knock on the door, so she crept in cautiously and approached Xijin.
"Miss."
Xijin turned a deaf ear,
Lan Qiao worriedly looked at Xi Jin who looked wrong, and called softly: "Niang Niang?"
Xi Jin paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head to look at her, all expressions on her face were hidden under indifference, her voice was full of coldness: "Get out——"
Lan Qiao was taken aback, and hurriedly took a step back, but did not back out.
"Can't understand what I'm saying?" Xi Jin squinted at Lan Qiao, who was nervous, and frowned slightly.
"My lady's forgiveness! My lady's pardon!"
Lan Qiao hurriedly bent down, her head was so low that she couldn't lower it any more, and explained: "Outside the hall there is a courtier who calls himself Lord Jade Emperor to see him."
"Jade Emperor?"
Xi Jin's men, who were originally angry, stopped suddenly, and after a while, they gently stroked the blood jade bracelet on their wrists, "Not bad."
Lan Qiao looked at her expression of turning anger into joy with trepidation, fearing that this was the beginning of her turning anger into laughter.
Xi Jin ignored Lan Qiao's scrutinizing gaze, and regained that style of elegance, raised her hand to gather the hair that had just fallen down, sat back on the chaise longue, and closed her eyes slightly.Tapping the armrest lightly between fingers, the corners of the drooping mouth gradually raised.
"Xuan."
