Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 14

Wanqi always comes here uninvited these days, Zhijin remembers Xing Jun’s words and doesn’t pay much attention to her, and she has never had a good impression of Zhijin, but Xing Jun is still gentle to her, and that tenderness falls in Zhijin’s eyes It hurts like that.

But now, the little fire on Zhijin's forehead is no longer burning, and she knows that after experiencing those deep and shallow friendships, her heart seems to be healed.

"Kong Chen, how about you and me attending this year's Peach Feast?"

Zhijin was wiping a box of ancient bamboo slips for Xingjun, when she heard Wan Qi say this, her hand holding a soft handkerchief fell hard on the bamboo slips.What a joke, I have lived in the Heavenly Court for nearly 300 years, and I have only been to the Pantao Feast once. Before the banquet, I was called back by Xingjun. I will definitely not miss it this year.

"You have a deep hatred with my bamboo slips, don't you?"

"Kong Chen, what did you say?" Wan Qi asked.

Zhijin realized that Lord Xing was reminding himself, so he lightened his hand.

"Nothing, I will go with you at the Peach Banquet."

what!
"Mr. Xing, I..."

"You are not feeling well, you should rest, put the bamboo slips down, and I will send a maid to take care of them." He blocked what Zhijin wanted to say, and she felt aggrieved, but she didn't want to disobey, so she obeyed his wishes, Out of the Fire Cloud Palace.

She felt like a little lady in the world full of resentment, twisting her sleeves and kicking the petals under her feet from time to time.Then she saw the No. [-] idler in the heaven, waving his folding fan that never changes for thousands of years, walking slowly towards her.

"Hey, let me tell you, ever since that Wan Qi came to the Fire Cloud Palace, you have looked like a resentful woman, so ugly that people can't bear to look directly at them."

"If you can't bear to look straight at me, why are you here to see me!"

"But just say it casually, there is no other meaning." He smiled and fanned Jin.

Zhijin pushed his fan away, "Don't, don't, I can't bear it."

"Seeing you complaining so much just now, I guess it's that Wan Qi who made a move on your Xingjun again, making you displeased."

"Do you know how she and Xing Jun started?"

"I... I don't know, it's just that your Xingjun is getting older, and there is no woman around him, so he is inevitably unhappy." He ignored her angry look, and said to himself, "Wan Qi is a noble , temperament is also good, just right for your Xingjun."

With quick eyesight and quick hands, he covered Zhijin's mouth, and suppressed her "roll" back to his throat.

"You are also a woman after all, why do you love to speak indecent words so much? This habit is not good, you have to change."

"You are sick, my Xingjun has me by his side, he doesn't need other women." Zhijin put his hands on his hips.

"Yes yes yes, alas, our Jin country is beautiful and heavenly, she is the best woman of Lord Huode Xing." He laughed wildly, clutching his stomach, and dropped the folding fan to the ground.

Zhijin couldn't help laughing, the words just now were indeed too self-deceiving. "It's not the best..."

"You two always use my study as a theater to disturb my silence."

Xingjun walked up to them, dropped the cold words, and went straight into the study.

Zu Yun didn't care, and wanted to continue chatting with Zhijin, but Zhijin gave him a blank look, and went to the side hall to make tea. Seeing this, Zu Yun knew what was going on and went back to the palace.

She put the tea on his desk, not knowing what to say, and was about to leave.

"This year's peach feast, you just stay here, you don't have to go to the banquet."

"Why?" She felt sad, "Didn't you promise to go with me?"

"I changed my mind."

"Because of Wan Qi?"

"When you see her in the future, in terms of etiquette, you have to salute her properly." He put down his book and looked up at her.

Zhijin held the tray, and said in a rough tone, "Got it."

"It's just a vulgar banquet, why do you care so much. You have to be cautious in everything in this world."

"What is not vulgar to you?" She was already in tears, "It was you who said that the galaxy in the sky is beautiful and you wanted to take me to see it, and it was you who said that the peach feast can only be enjoyed with my company...but now you ..."

"Go down."

However, within a few days, with only Fairy Wanqi, Zhijin had a rift with Lord Xing.

Wan Qi still often comes to this palace to accompany Xing Jun to handle paperwork, play chess, and even invite Xing Jun to drink tea and listen to the piano in her Fannong Palace.And Zhijin could only do his duty silently and then go back to the room in a daze. When Zu Yun came to look for her, she tried her best to avoid her, which made him very speechless.

Every time Zhijin sees Wan Qi, she salutes to her. She smiles happily and warms up to Zhijin, but Zhijin still has jealousy towards her.Zhijin knew that being so narrow-minded would definitely displease Xingjun, but she really didn't know how to get rid of the layers of coldness that enveloped her.

On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, all those who received the fairy invitation will go to Yaochi to have a banquet on this day.

In the study with a fairy barrier, Zhizhi was transcribing a few pages of poems ordered by Xingjun.She didn't dare to go to Yaochi to take a look at it at all, and wrote obediently. Since returning to Heaven, she set aside time every day to learn how to read, and only hoped that she could understand it when she received a letter next time.

"Prepare for Chu, Samsung is at home. Tonight and any evening, see this charming person."

While reading, she felt drowsy, and it was really difficult to write!Go to sleep first.

The holy mountain of heaven, the backyard of the Kunlun Palace, and the fairyland.

Chang Di saw from afar that Kong Chen was not next to a girl, but a beautiful woman with Chaoyun in her bun and a blue dress.Although they stand shoulder to shoulder, they seem to be far apart.Chang Di could see that Kong Chen didn't care about her, it was completely different from what he saw in the past, he was as addicted to a girl, and the warmth came from his heart.

"Mr. Huode Xing." He cupped his hands slightly, just like back then.

This was the second time he met him in Heavenly Court, and he still had some impressions of him, "How is the tiger?"

"Everything is the same as before, I don't know how Xing Jun is?"

"Just like you, everything remains the same."

The woman beside him also bowed to him, her family was graceful and her body was full of fragrance.

"Fairy Wanqi, you're being polite."

"Granddaughter of Yaoxian, join me in the banquet today." Seeing that Chang Di seemed suspicious, he added.

Chang Di wanted to ask something else, something he really wanted to ask, but seeing this scene, he stopped talking.

Is she in Fire Cloud Palace?The person she loves so much is accompanied by a beautiful woman, what is she going to do, since Wangchuan said goodbye that day, she has not seen each other, and today she thought that Kong Chen would take her with her, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Changdi misses her, and will not let go for a long time, every inch of her.

Zhijin had a dream. She dreamed that she went to the world and saw ten miles of bright red peach blossoms. The petals were fluttering and flying around. She was wearing a wedding dress that stretched the floor. It was Luo Tang, he stretched out his hand, motioning for her to walk towards him.

But she couldn't move, so she could only keep calling his name.Seeing that she didn't take half a step forward, he put down his hands, watched quietly, then turned around slowly and walked away.

"Girl, girl..."

When Zhijin woke up, he saw Changdi's expression of concern.

"Changdi." She was amazed at his arrival, and couldn't believe that he broke through the fairy barrier set up by Lord Xing, "How could you..."

He saw through her mind again, and explained slowly, "I went to the banquet today, and saw that you were not present at the banquet, so I came here to look for it. This fairy barrier is a small skill, and it won't trouble me, it's just..."

"What kind of nightmare just now?"

Changdi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, still so cold, "Didn't I say that if the Heavenly Court is not good, I will go to Shenshou Mountain?"

"I can't let go of this heaven."

"You are really wronged." He wanted to embrace her in his arms.

Zhijin pushed him away, "Heaven is not the world, so don't mess around."

"Now in this heaven, it's you who admonishes me." He smiled, and picked up the poem she just wrote on the desk beside him.

"Do you understand these poems?"

"It's not too obvious, but I'm learning."

"Okay." He pulled her up, said lightly, "I'll take you to the banquet, I'm glad to see you."

"Mr. Xing asked me to..." Zhijin felt resentful, afraid that Mr. Xing would blame her for disobeying his orders.

He cast a spell, instantly changing her into Xian'e's clothes, "Is that so good?"

Zhijin nodded, happily and anxiously followed Changdi to Yaochi.
