Phoenix Zhiyin

Chapter 18 The first little phoenix

Under the repeated urging of the servant boy, the few of them cast their spells and hurried to His Highness the Lord.

After Mrs. Xijin brushed her temple hair calmly, she went up the stairs.Hua Yun, Lan Qiao and others followed closely behind.

Entering the main hall, one can see Jiu Yuan reclining behind the table in a silver-trimmed black robe, resting his elbow on the table, propping his head with one hand, and a few strands of long hair hanging down beside his face, making it hard to see clearly face.

The censer next to the tables overflowed with traces of green smoke, lingering around him.

The footsteps of the few people were neither light nor heavy. Since entering the hall, Jiu Yuan has kept his movements, not moving at all.

The servant boy looked at the people beside him, took a quick step forward, and called softly, "Master Heavenly Emperor."

Jiuyuan didn't respond.

He called again, but still no action was seen.

The servant boy looked at Mrs. Xijin with some embarrassment.

Xi Jin lightly moved to Jiu Yuan's side.Jiu Yuan closed his eyes slightly and frowned, obviously falling asleep.

Immortals in the heaven do not eat the grains of the world, nor do they have to work and rest according to the time of ordinary people.But once you fall into a deep sleep, you are exhausted physically and mentally.

Obviously, Jiuyuan is in such a state today.

Xi Jin shook his head towards the servant boy, with obvious worry in his expression, he said softly: "There is no need to call him, I will just wait in the side hall for a while."

The servant boy thought for a moment, then nodded silently.Mrs. Xijin frowned slightly, sighed quietly, and stepped back slightly, walking more and more lightly, for fear of disturbing Jiuyuan.

Several people were speechless, and the hall became colder and colder.

Xi Jin was thinking absent-mindedly about what he should insinuate when Jiu Yuan woke up.But after thinking about it, his thoughts were full of Hua Yun.Mrs. Xijin's heart suddenly froze, and she secretly made up her mind, especially Hua Yun, a thorn in her side, must take this opportunity to get rid of it!

A white shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes, Mrs. Xijin froze for a moment, and then her face changed suddenly.Turning around abruptly, he saw that Hua Yun had already walked to the side of the table.

"Don't be reckless—!"

Before Mrs. Xi Jin could finish her words, she saw Hua Yun leaning over and whispering a few words in Jiu Yuan's ear.

I saw Jiu Yuan's body move, put down the hand supporting his head, and then he woke up leisurely.

"Feng Yu—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Jiu Yuan's eyes gradually cleared up.

When Jiu Yuan first woke up, his mind was chaotic, and the things in front of him were blurred. For a while, he couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.After waiting for a while, he woke up.

"It's really..." Jiu Yuan saw the person in front of him clearly, shook his head with a wry smile, and slowly turned his face away while pinching his forehead, "He fell asleep again." When he raised his eyes, he saw Xi Jin trotting At this point, Jiu Yuan was slightly surprised, and after thinking about it, he remembered that he had told Hua Yun to invite Xi Jin over before falling asleep.

"What's the matter? He ran in such a hurry, if someone else saw it, it would be a joke." Jiuyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Xijin's slightly worried expression.

Xi Jin only thought that he was being rude, he was slightly taken aback, his steps slowed down, and he said softly: "It is Xi Jin who is being reckless."

"I'm not blaming you, as long as you're happy, you don't have to." Jiu Yuan stretched out his hand to Xi Jin, who had already walked a few cases away, with a doting smile on his face, "Come on."

Xi Jin pursed her lips and smiled, and put her hand into Jiu Yuan's, her expression full of unconcealable happiness.Jiu Yuan gave a firm grip, and jumped over with Xi Jin stepping on a few desks, just being hugged by Jiu Yuan.

"What's the matter, huh?"

Xi Jin nestled in Jiu Yuan's arms, resting her head on Jiu Yuan's heart, her long hair curled around her fingers, and said softly: "You have been working day and night these days, and I just saw you fell asleep, Xi Jin was afraid to disturb you. But I don’t want you to be disturbed by this short-sighted servant.”

"..."

Hua Yun silently took a step back.

This woman can change her face faster than turning the pages of a book.Just now he was bossy, but now he is extremely docile with low eyebrows.

Tsk, look at these two people who are tired and crooked.

Hua Yun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and for the first time had doubts about Jiu Yuan's taste.

Jiu Yuan was silent.

Xi Jin thought she had said something wrong, and raised her eyes anxiously to see Jiu Yuan's expression.

Jiu Yuan stroked Xi Jin's long hair time after time, lowering his eyes with an unclear expression.Just when Xi Jin thought he had made Jiu Yuan angry, he suddenly sneered and said, "It's okay, I have something to tell you. If it takes too long, I'm afraid I will forget it again."

Xi Jin stared blankly at Jiu Yuan, confirmed again and again that Jiu Yuan's face was normal, and thought about what Jiu Yuan said before he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Looking at Xi Jin's stupefied look, Jiu Yuan felt the haze in his heart dissipate a lot just now, but he felt a bit teasing, stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of Xi Jin's nose, and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking? ?”

"You called me..." Xijin blinked, and asked without answering, "But because of the once-in-a-thousand-year banquet in more than a hundred days?"

Jiu Yuan was startled, but then he reacted and smiled slightly, "You guessed it right."

"This is a heavenly banquet once in a thousand years." Xi Jin said, "My brother always took Xi Jin to play when Xi Jin was young."

Jiu Yuan laughed and said, "I really never thought that the Jade Emperor would have such a leisurely mood."

Xi Jin slightly shook his head and said: "Brother is not as busy as you imagined. Because Xi Jin knew that you and brother were close friends when they were young, and brother would often tell Xi Jin about the interesting things between the two of you when you were young."

Jiu Yuan smiled when he heard these words, then shook his head, as if denying something.When he was young, Jiu Yuan sighed: "It's really rare that the Jade Emperor can still remember what happened when he was young and ignorant."

Xijin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pinch a fresh grape on the table, peeled the skin and put it into Jiuyuan's mouth, and said coquettishly: "If you let my brother hear what you said, my brother will be sad again. Young confidant, brother How could he not remember? My brother often told Xi Jin that he missed that time very much."

miss?

"Really." Jiu Yuan murmured softly as if talking to himself.

What a familiar accent.

Memories crossed the torrent, and the memories were reflected in Jiu Yuan's mind one by one.Thousands of years ago, the Jade Emperor asked the question that he considered obvious and stupid at the time——

"Jiuyuan, can we be like this when we grow up?"

Little Jade Emperor held Xiao Jiuyuan's hand tightly, his two delicate little faces were flushed red from the cold, and the two half-old children walked hand in hand in the bitter cold wind.

Xiao Jiuyuan gathered up the loose robes that did not fit him, pressed down the hat, then stretched out his hand to adjust the clothes and hats for the little Jade Emperor, leaned to the side of the little Jade Emperor, and said every word He yelled out loud, "It will!"

Xiao Jiuyuan's immature voice disappeared instantly in the strong wind.

The little Jade Emperor laughed, showing two small canine teeth, one hand clenched Xiao Jiuyuan's hand, and the other hand held the hat, trying to block the biting cold wind, and leaned close to Xiao Jiuyuan's ear for fear of him He couldn't hear it, and shouted: "Then let's go quickly—the father will be waiting—!"

Xiao Jiuyuan nodded his head hard, the strong wind blew past, and his scratched face hurt.Little Jiuyuan couldn't open his eyes because of the wind, but he still squinted his eyes slightly, then turned his head and shouted to Little Jade Emperor: "Are you just going to walk with me like this--Master Dijun will definitely scold you! This matter is all wrong For me, you don't have to be punished with me——!"

"It doesn't matter!"

The little Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes with a smile, and shouted loudly:

"I—accompany—you—!"

Xiao Jiuyuan was obviously taken aback.

Little Jade Emperor didn't think much about it, but seeing Xiao Jiuyuan in a daze, he dragged him forward and shouted without turning his head: "Don't be stupefied! Come with me quickly! Otherwise, Father is really I'm going to be punished—!"

The two children cuddled together on the ice and snow. The road was so slippery that one couldn't stop falling, while the other supported him with an arm that wasn't strong enough, supporting each other and drifting away.

The wind was piercing.

The snow-white sky covered the sight from a distance, leaving only four footprints of different shades.

"Ah"

Little Jade Emperor's immature voice seemed to still echo in his ears, but now the answer has changed.

Jiu Yuan closed his eyes, pinched the center of his brows, took the grapes that Xi Jin brought into his mouth, casually stroked Xi Jin's long hair, and sneered softly as if mocking himself.

Xi Jin stared at him with wide eyes, hesitatingly whispered: "You are so... Could it be because Xi Jin said something wrong again?"

I thought that Jiu Yuan would have something to say about what she said, but I didn't expect Jiu Yuan to react in this way now.Xijin's ability to observe words and expressions is naturally extremely strong, and he can clearly hear the ridicule in Jiuyuan's language.Xijin only took it for his own sake, but never thought of anything else.

Jiu Yuan was stunned, and didn't realize what Xi Jin was referring to for a while, and after a long silence, he remembered that his own sneer caused Xi Jin's misunderstanding.

Jiu Yuan reassured: "It's not because of you. I just remembered something from the past. Don't worry too much."

Xi Jin nodded, relieved, and said enthusiastically, "Tell me about it!"

Tell me?how to say?How good is the relationship between yourself and the Jade Emperor back then? How bad is the relationship now?

Jiu Yuan had no choice but to refuse: "It's just trivial matters, not worth mentioning."

Xijin heard the reluctance in Jiuyuan's words, and lowered her eyes unwillingly, without saying a word.

It was only then that Jiu Yuan realized that what he said was hurtful, so he should be more tactful.Jiu Yuan was afraid that Xi Jin would be displeased if he said these things again, so he changed the subject, trying to make the beauty in his arms smile.

Jiu Yuan said: "Can you join me in tomorrow's meeting?"

Xijin twisted her veil skirt, shook her head, and said with some lack of interest: "Xijin wants to see tomorrow's meeting, but my brother told Xijin to be cautious in words and deeds before Xijin came here. , don’t disturb your work. Tomorrow’s banquet is specially organized for you and several other immortals to gather together every hundred years to discuss major events in the heavens. Xijin has lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, but she also wants to be a woman like Qinglong Shenjun , but there are rules and regulations that bind Xijin. You are so busy on weekdays, it is difficult for Xijin to see you."

The more Xi Jin said, the more wronged she became, her voice gradually weakened, and the sadness in it was self-evident.

Jiu Yuan naturally heard it, his thoughts turned, his expression froze, and he really didn't expect that Xijin would talk about this.After thinking about it for a while, Jiu Yuan really felt that Xi Jin had been neglected for many days due to his busy business affairs, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it was an unspeakable feeling.But Jiu Yuan knew that it was not a guilt towards Xi Jin.

Jiuyuan embraced Xijin and sighed softly, but did not answer.

The incense burner next to the cases had been off for a long time, but neither of them noticed.

Xijin tugged at the corner of Jiuyuan's clothes with an aggrieved expression, "Xijin shouldn't have said such a thing, it's Xijin who made a mistake and made you worry too much."

"Where is it, you don't have to blame yourself, and it has nothing to do with you. Don't take the responsibility for everything on you. Your behavior like this makes me feel bad." Jiu Yuan shook his head and smiled disapprovingly, He explained, "Recently, the affairs of heaven have been busy, but no one has shared them for me, so I have no time to take care of you. It is my fault that I neglected you."

Listening to Jiu Yuan's soft words, Xi Jin's ears turned red, her cheeks flushed, her fingers curled her long hair, twisted it into a few circles and then let go, and so on.

After a while, Xi Jin said in a soft voice: "It's a great honor for you to treat Xi Jin like this."

Jiu Yuan lowered his head and looked at her vacillating gaze, "It's my duty to marry you, as it should be."

Xi Jin looked up at him, then hurriedly lowered her head again.Biting her lip, she hesitated and asked, "Then Xijin is special to you?"

Jiu Yuan said softly: "This is natural."

"Then..." Xi Jin's eyes turned, and he looked up at Jiu Yuan eagerly, "Xi Jin wants someone, can you promise Xi Jin?"

Jiu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "Which one of the people in my palace is so lucky to have caught your eye?"

Xijin smiled mischievously, her beautiful eyes rolled around, and she raised her slender fingers, "——he."

Hua Yun, who was moaning to the front of the door, froze all of a sudden.
