Yue'er's expression was bleak.
"Your Majesty, Holy Son...if there is a misunderstanding, please clarify it as soon as possible."
She didn't feel humble as a maid at all, but taught Ye An and Qi Xi a lesson.
In essence, Yue'er is more like the supervisor of Qi Xi's responsibilities.
This was decided by Qixi himself, so as not to be lazy and delay things.
Yue'er is the person who has followed her for the longest time, dating back to before she became the empress.
Ye An was slightly confused and asked: "What does this have to do with it?"
Yue'er said: "Otherwise, the God of Wealth will run away!"
Qixi asked: "God of Wealth? Who?"
Yue'er was speechless for a while, and then responded: "Of course it's Ji Huang from the Ji family..."
Qi Xi shook his head slightly and said, "No, do you think he is a good person, or an idiot, or does he really voluntarily donate money to the temple?"
"Yue'er, you didn't pay attention to these, and you don't know why."
"All he wants to do is to split the connection between the Sifang Temple and the Zhongzhou Temple. This is just his business."
For a long time, sects and clans have been dissatisfied with the rule of the temple.
There are too many rules, too much emphasis on mortals, and spiritual stone subsidies for the cultivation of remote areas or mortals... These have already caused dissatisfaction among many people.
They once tried to resist together, but were defeated one by one.
What the Ji family wants to do at this time is to try to disintegrate the temple internally.
"Is that so..." Yue'er suddenly realized.
Qi Xi smiled and said, "Tell me the truth, have you ever accepted money from Ji Huang?"
These words touched Ye An's heart.
The phrase 'I have received someone's money' is widely circulated and familiar even on Blue Star Earth...
"ah?"
Yue'er was slightly startled and said, "Of course not."
Qi Xi's golden eyes glowed with color as he stared at the moon, and then his mind moved and his consciousness emerged.
After a moment, she nodded slightly, "Yes."
Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do with Ji Huang's letter of challenge..."
Qi Xi looked at her and said, "What do you think?"
Yue'er thought about it seriously and said, "Sure enough, we should... clarify the misunderstanding, right?"
"Clarify the misunderstanding?"
Qixi frowned slightly, "Is there any misunderstanding that can be clarified?"
Hearing this, Yue'er was stunned again.
Immediately she seemed to understand something, and her expression changed wonderfully.
"Your Majesty, Holy Son, do you think you really...!"
These words had just come out.
suddenly-
Boom!
There was a sound outside the door.
"who?"
Qixi Liu frowned slightly and said coldly,
Yue'er, who had a wonderful expression, quickly became alert.
Turning around suddenly, he had already reached for the door handle, and then opened it suddenly.
Ye An frowned and took a closer look.
It turned out that the person making the noise outside the door was the Tantai Saint in a plain skirt.
At this moment, she looked a little surprised and at a loss.
It looks like he has been eavesdropping for a long time...
Qi Xi stared at her and said, "What do you want to say?"
Saint Tantai's red lips parted slightly, hesitating a little, shaking her head slightly and saying: "Your Majesty, nothing's wrong, just... I found a beautiful piece of jewelry, and I wanted to give it to Your Majesty. Maybe the time is not right, I'll leave first. .”
She gently put down the gift box she was holding.
Then left quickly.
This little accident surprised Ye An and the others.
"Well - I'm really in a hurry."
Qi Xi opened the gift box and fell into deep thought.
"She just likes to give these little things, phew...it's pretty good."
"Ye An, do you want it?"
Ye An shook his head, "No need, it's for your Majesty."
Giving gifts can actually be considered quite common.
Ye An glanced slightly and landed on the gift box.
Immediately he was startled.
The jewelry that Saint Tantai gave to Qi Xi was a necklace.
But Ye An has seen that style of necklace before.
It’s a couple’s model…
…
…
On this day, the news that Ji Huang of the Ji family had declared a challenge to the Holy Son of the Temple spread throughout Zhongzhou.
The lively Mortal Night Market has already gathered a crowd early.
There is a night market late at night, and during the day it is a place to rest, drink tea and chat.
It's dusk now.
There are an unprecedented number of people gathered here, and most of them are here to talk about the challenge.
The Tantai Saint is dressed in plain clothes and covers her face with a bamboo hat and veil.
She sat here depressed, drinking tea and listening to the voices around her.
"Tsk tsk... Love rival challenge? This Ji eldest son is still young and vigorous."
"He is the only member of the Ji family with pure blood for thousands of years. His arrogance and temper are indeed normal."
"But this time he has issued a declaration of war to the Holy Son. I don't know whether to say that he is arrogant or that he is... imperative."
The mortals gathered here chatted, gnawed melons and drank tea with indifferent expressions.
Being unable to practice, they spend most of their free time except farming and doing business.
Competitions and duels between sects and sects are all interesting material to them.
"Speaking of which, who is the 'beautiful girl of heaven' that Ji's eldest son is betting on?"
"I don't know, and I didn't say it clearly."
"Hasn't he always pursued Her Majesty the Empress?"
One person said.
Immediately, the air became silent.
Everyone present knew the rumor that Ji Huang once proposed to the empress in public, but was knocked away.
The man continued: "I know that in order to win the favor of His Majesty the Empress, Ji Huang secretly used the family's financial resources to support various temples in order to gain His Majesty's trust."
"Is there still this matter?"
"Yes. It is said that the old man of the Ji family... was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot after knowing the truth, but there was nothing he could do. Who said he was a rare genius in the Ji family for thousands of years?"
"In this case, could it be that the 'beautiful daughter of heaven' mentioned by Ji Huang refers to the current empress?"
"good."
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar.
Most people in Zhongzhou know about Ji Huang's pursuit.
But these mortals had to rely on hearsay to get information.
"That's strange. Logically speaking, Ji Huang doesn't have to ask the Holy Son... Huh? Wait!"
"Could it be that the Holy Son and His Majesty have already - that one?"
"Maybe."
"Maybe it's already."
"Otherwise, why would Ji Huang announce the next challenge for no reason? He is probably very angry."
There were bursts of cheerful laughter from the crowd.
Tantai Saint took a sip of tea, but her face became even more depressed—
Ji Huang is her love rival.
During the period when she and Ji Huang were fighting each other overtly or covertly.
No one expected it.
Both of them were stolen by Ye An.
Listening to the lively noises of the mortals around her, the resentment accumulated in the heart of Tantai Saint became deeper and deeper.
She raised her head slightly, but at this moment, she saw a familiar figure.
That person... is none other than Ji Huang.
"If you ask me, Ji's eldest son has a good life, but he is stupid."
"His behavior not only consumes the Ji family's foundation, but also leads to bad style."
"You call those little girls and girls, they are mediocre and have no ability, but the person you are looking for also wants to support them for free like Ji Huang. What do you think this is?"
"Alas - the world is getting worse."
Mortals inevitably talked about it again.
suddenly.
They all felt their bodies tremble, and a hot breath came from behind.
"Who says I'm stupid?"
Ji Huang's voice continued to echo in everyone's ears.
