Meng Qiqi and Sheng Jiayan looked at each other, Sheng Jiayan lowered his phoenix eyes without changing his face. Meng Eqi understood and raised her voice softly: "I feel very relieved that Concubine Ai is smart. In this competition, the queen lost to you. According to the Guanchun Garden banquet that I promised before, I will leave it to you."
Concubine Shu had a happy expression on her face, and her smile was suppressed with pride. She glanced at the queen and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After she thanked her, she still felt that it was not enough. After finally being complacent in front of the Queen, will Concubine Shu seize the opportunity
"Sister Empress," Concubine Shu smiled and took two steps forward, looking at Sheng Jiayan who was expressionless: "You are always smart, this time you deliberately gave this opportunity to the concubine, and the concubine also thanks you for this face. "
Sheng Jiayan said lightly: "You don't have to belittle yourself, you should."
The queen is not only not angry, but also praises her? Concubine Shu's next words were stuck in her throat, no, no, no. She raised her eyes and looked at the queen, who was calm, as if she was really praising her.
Concubine Shu looked at the queen, and then at the emperor sitting next to her.
strangeness…
Why does she think that the emperor is stupid and the queen is the one who really decides
Concubine Shu held the reward from Meng Eqi, turned and left to prepare for the banquet a few days later.
After she left, Meng Eqi screened the people from the palace, sat on the dragon chair and rubbed her chin bitterly: "How come there is no such person, could Mr. Min lied to me? Impossible, Lu was punished by Meng Yong back then. When you come to Guanchun Garden, how dare Mrs. Min dare to mess around?"
Sheng Jiayan took a sip of bitter tea, and when he put down the tea cup, he said slowly: "Maybe we found the wrong person at the beginning, and there is no such person as Lu."
Meng Qiqi looked at him suspiciously, and then suddenly realized: "You are Lu, maybe you don't have this name at all?"
A smile suddenly appeared in Sheng Jiayan's eyes, as if the warm sun breaking through the glacier covered Meng Eqi's head with dizzying sunlight, he said, "After pregnancy, you always become smarter."
Meng Qiqi didn't hear it at first and nodded, but after reacting, she couldn't help but stare at it. Sheng Jiayan looked back, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Your expression is unconvincing?"
Meng Eqi pouted: "I don't agree, wasn't I smart before I was pregnant?"
"Smart." Sheng Jiayan smiled and said, "I will take you to the plum forest on the outskirts of the town. The plums here in Guanchun Garden are famous far and wide. You should like it."
Meng Eqi nodded and asked solemnly, "What are we going to investigate when we go to Meizilin?"
Sheng Jiayan squinted: "I just take you to taste plums."
"It's that simple?"
He nodded: "Otherwise what else could it be?"
"You're just showing me the scenery... I'm not used to it..."
Sheng Jiayan said indifferently: "You can get used to it now, and it will be the same when you return to the underworld in the future. Don't you want to go to the Dragon Palace to play? When you go back and give birth to a child, I will take you there."
Meng Qiqi jumped up happily: "Really?" Then she thought of another thing: "There is no you in the underworld... It's not good."
"Don't you have a son?"
His tone was calm and natural, and Meng Eqi looked at him blankly: "So when the child is like that, you plan to enslave him?"
Sheng Jiayan smiled: "What is slavery? He is destined to lead thousands of Yin soldiers in the future. This is his born mission."
Meng Qiqi didn't know why, but a baby with drooling saliva appeared in his mind and was pressed against the table. Black and white impermanence kept handing over memorials for him to review. The attendants chatted in the hall. And her poor son needed two hands to hold even the pen, and the judge pointed at Jiangshan and spittle.
Thinking of this, Meng Eqi broke into a cold sweat for her unborn child. Looking at Sheng Jiayan's indifferent face again, he couldn't help but complain: "Ayan, are you so ruthless as a father!"
Sheng Jiayan was reading the book obsessively, and when he heard this sentence, he raised his eyes leisurely: "I am your husband first, and their father second. If you feel bad for your children, then we will wait for them to grow up before going out. play."
"No, no," Meng Qiqi decided to sacrifice her son for her own happiness: "They can definitely do it."
Meng Eqi touched her stomach and said again, "But what if I am pregnant with two girls?"
Sheng Jiayan pressed his fingertips on the page and thought about it carefully: "It's not impossible for female Yama."
"Then I will go to the Dragon Palace first, then follow the East China Sea to Buzhou Mountain to see the unicorns, and then go west to see the fairies weaving clouds."
Sheng Jiayan smiled and agreed.
Meng Qiqi sat in the seat for a moment of silence, and suddenly asked silently: "Ayan, can we really live a good life after this life is over? The days in the underworld were very happy. It's time for my followers to shine. I miss them a little..."
Sheng Jiayan took Meng Qiqi into his arms and comforted him in a low voice: "As long as you want peace, I'll give you peace. We can go back to see them soon."
For some reason, Meng Qiqi's uneasiness in her heart grew stronger. She had to bury her head in Sheng Jiayan's arms and control herself not to think about bad things.
And where she couldn't see, Sheng Jiayan pinched his fingers for a while, his eyes deepened, and he stroked Meng Qiqi's hair to comfort her. The two haven't spoken for a long time, so quietly accompanying each other seems to be the most touching time in the world.
Although the two had their own concerns, the misty white smoke wafting from the Jiuding Purple Stove placed on the table beside them still wrapped the two of them.
In this world of mortals, each other is the only reliance on each other.
…
In the evening, the wind was blowing violently, and the sunset that should have been at dusk was replaced by a grayish yellow. The wind blew flowers and sand in the air, Meng Eqi hid in the house and ate grapes and read the script.
Sheng Jiayan stood at the window for a long time as if he had something on his mind.
"Ayan, what are you looking at!"
Sheng Jiayan turned his back and said, "It's okay, let's see when it will rain."
After all, he closed the window, keeping the wind and rain out of the window.
That night, Meng Eqi had a very strange dream.
She returned to the Wilderness. At that time, the Wilderness broke a big hole, and the star river was poured into the Wilderness. Along with countless fires and thunder lights, countless wild creatures were swallowed by the fire. Even so, the wild creatures were still scrambling to go up. Gap away, this is their only chance to get out of the wild.
Rao was smashed by lightning as soon as he approached the gap, and the wild creatures were still rushing there.
In the dream, Meng Eqi saw the black dragon surrounded by the crowd, standing at the highest point of the Ziji Temple, frowning at the hole in the top. And the one tied beside him who had passed out turned out to be...
That phoenix.
"Did you see it?" In the void, a voice came from somewhere.
Meng Eqi looked around vigilantly, but couldn't find the figure of the man.
She sneered: "Does your Excellency always like to hide in the dark like a cowardly rat? You only dare to make trouble in the dark, but you have no real courage."
The man smiled, but was not angry: "I'm just a person who wants to help you recall your memory. It doesn't matter who I am."
"memory?"
"The gods think they control everything, and the reincarnation of all things in the world is under their control. They are high above, their cold compassion, and the so-called benevolence of the world is nothing but empty talk. Otherwise, how can they take away your memory because of their own selfish desires and let you Have you forgotten all the past events?"
Meng Qiqi didn't say anything, just sneered.
"The black dragon standing not far away is the leader of the entire wilderness. He is psychic and has the blood of the ancient gods. But how ridiculous, he is not the same as trapped in this bitter cold place, trying his best to get out. His spiritual power can only be broken, but he can't stop the continuous fire. The disaster that Savage experienced was also bestowed by him. You see, isn't he preparing to use his beloved to plug the gap in Savage? "
Following his voice, the old man Xuanwu had already made people pick up the phoenix, and the black dragon's eyes were gloomy, and no one was allowed to move. The two seemed to be arguing, and Phoenix was still unconscious.
The voice in the void was bewitching: "The Black Dragon has long had intentions. The reason why he kept the Phoenix by his side is because the Phoenix has powerful spiritual power with his reverse scales, which can be sealed. His purpose is to destroy the wilderness. The enchantment took his army away from the Wilderness, and then sealed the Wilderness. Phoenix took his inverse scales, just to be the eye of the seal."
Meng Eqi didn't answer, as if something was stirring in her mind, causing waves of dizziness.
The man suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever thought that if you really lost a memory, why would he want you to forget it?"
…
When Meng Qiqi woke up, she saw darkness.
It's still not lit...
The sound of thunderstorms outside was mixed with the sound of rainstorm washing the eaves. She lay quietly on the bed, feeling a little upset because of what happened in her dream.
Meng Qiqi habitually reached out to touch the place next to her, but only found the cold quilt.
Sheng Jiayan is not there? !
Meng Qiqi sat up abruptly and looked inside the house with the light outside, Sheng Jiayan was indeed not here...
Where has he gone
Just when Meng Qiqi was about to go to bed to find him, Sheng Jiayan pushed the door open from the outside. Meng Eqi watched him rustling to change his soaked clothes, and drank a cup of hot tea at the table before slowly leaning over to the bed.
"Where have you been?" she asked.
Sheng Jiayan didn't expect that she was awake. She paused for a while, and then said calmly: "Go check Ming's carriage."
"It's better for the palace servants to do this kind of thing, and there will be assassins in Guanchun Garden?"
Sheng Jiayan lay back on the couch and wrapped Meng Eqi into his arms: "Just in case."
Meng Eqi smelled the clear and rainy breath on him, and guessed that Sheng Jiayan must have been out for a long time.
