Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 3

Ping'er kindly reminded Zhijin that if there was any birthmark on Kongchen's body, it would be a clue.

She immediately thought of the flame totem on the back of Xingjun's neck, but she didn't tell Ping'er because it was a secret.

Ping'er seemed to want Zhijin's wooden bracelet, and Zhijin also wanted to give it as a thank you for bothering her for many days, but he had no choice but to give up when he thought that it was Zuyun's mother's relic.

In fact, Zhijin thinks that Ju'er is not a mortal, she is always lingering with a faint fragrance, and the flowers in her house also have a faint strangeness, Zhijin guesses, is she a demon like me?

She stared blankly at the flowers in the garden, remembering that day, Zu Yun actually acted like a baby and asked her to accompany him to the lotus pond to pick lotus flowers, she laughed at him as a big man who actually liked flowers and plants.

He kept silent, buried his head, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the agarwood couch Xingjun used for his afternoon nap, she became anxious immediately, this was for Xingjun's private use, if Xingjun came back after discussing matters, seeing this, it would be fine.

Zhijin quickly put down the folded brocade quilt and pulled him up. He looked up at her, and there were tears in his deep eyes that she had never seen before. She was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

They looked at each other quietly.

He suddenly said, today is my mother's death day.

After listening, she asked him suspiciously, isn't your biological mother the Queen of Heaven?
My empress is Emperor Concubine Muwan, she passed away when I was born.

She turned around and went to the table, filled a cup of tea, and handed it to him. Just now I couldn't understand why there was a bell in Zimi Palace, and it was because of this.

The death of an imperial concubine is a courtesy of Wuji Zhong, which is a heavenly rule broken by the father.

The Emperor of Heaven loves Empress Muwan very much, and he also loves you.

The sacrificial hall for the mother and concubine is very cold, so I can only do it myself and select some flowers and plants for decoration. I saw that the lotus flowers bloomed well this year, so I wanted to pick more.

If you want to pick more, you can ask Xian'e to accompany you...Forget it, be a kind little demon, Zhijin took his empty teacup, nodded and agreed, then let's pick it quickly, I'm afraid Xingjun will have a lot of things to tell me later.

Zhizhi, you are so kind... As he said, he got up and hugged her from behind.

She was trembling with fright, she is really a disciple, there is a difference between a man and a woman, you must never have skin-to-skin contact with a man!

But she couldn't break free for a long time. Zu Yun, who is usually weak, has such strength.

The most unfortunate thing is that Xingjun saw this scene!
He tried his best to restrain his anger, and said coldly, have you had enough trouble?
Zhijin was so guilty that he plopped down on his knees, without confidence, Mr. Xing, I...

Zu Yun pulled her up, and she quickly gave him a wink, signaling him not to add fuel to the fire.

I was the one who was rude just now, so don't blame her.

His tone was actually tough, and he didn't give Xingjun any face at all. In terms of seniority, Zu Yun should call Xingjun uncle.

I think you are young and ignorant, so I don't care about you, but I will report to the Emperor of Heaven, let him find another master, and take you to study hard.

you……

Afterwards, she was asked by Xingjun to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors and was fined to copy "The Commandments of the Saints" [-] times.She is not very literate, so she can't write, so she can only describe slowly and complain with tears in her eyes, it is really too difficult, too difficult.

He was holding a volume of books by the desk not far from her, watching quietly, ignoring her.

She put down her pen and looked at such a charming him seriously.

Xing Jun seemed to feel her gaze, put down the book, and looked at her, she thought he would give a reprimand so that it would not be boring, but he picked up the book and continued to read.

Well, Mr. Xing ignored me, so I'll be lazy for a while, she slowly moved to the window of the pavilion, lay down there, and looked out of the window, the peach blossom tree in the yard was only a little higher than the eaves.

Its petals are pink and soft, falling on the ground and rising in the air, so beautiful.Zu Yun once taught her to read some poems in the world, one of which was about peach blossoms.

The peach is young, its flowers are scorching, and the son returns home, suitable for his family.

Zu Yun explained the meaning of the sentence, and at the end, he also said that he would ask the Heavenly Emperor and Empress to marry her as his concubine when he was of marriageable age.From that moment on, Zhijin didn't treat him like before, because she didn't like Zu Yun at all, she only liked her Huode Xingjun, Kong Chen.

This sentence feels infinitely beautiful when I read it, but it is also as lonely and sad as the scene in front of me.When the beauty is to the extreme and the love is deep, there is a look of sadness. She doesn't know why she has this feeling.

Zhijin still prefers Qionghua in the nameless valley where she used to live, that tree that grows in a place with abundant water and grass, blooms unbeaten all year round but is also plain.

Ah, she actually remembered what happened with Xingjun in Xiaoqingtan that day.

She was shy, her ears were hot, and she couldn't sit or stand.

what happened?
Did Xing Jun see through my mind...

Mr. Xing, when we... first met...in Xiaoqingtan...was it considered...a skin-to-skin relationship?After speaking, she shuddered slightly.

After hearing this, his body became stiff, he put down the book slowly, and walked towards her.

Calculate.He gently removed the petals that fell on her hair just now.

you are mine.

She nodded with a smile and hugged him gently.

He coughed a few times, looking a little embarrassed, Jin'er, don't do this, it's unreasonable.

Zhijin let him go, and while he wasn't paying attention, smeared the ink on his face indiscriminately, and then looked at his surprised and shy look with a smirk.Whenever she teased him like this, he would always be shy. He was usually tall and majestic, and he ignored everyone. At this time, he turned into a different look, an innocent and blank blank. dust.

When she first came to Heaven, she was not smart at all, and she was very shy.

Wherever Xing Jun went, he would set up fairy barriers for her, and let her wait for him to come back inside.As soon as he came back and untied the fairy barrier that trapped her, she was unwilling to leave him for a moment. When she was bathing in the side hall, she wanted to watch him, and she wanted to hug him when she slept.

He had no choice but to obey her, lest she would be displeased, even if sometimes she deliberately lost her temper and said that she wanted to go back, he would put everything down and hug her in his arms to comfort her.

He taught her etiquette, playing music, tasting tea, and let Xian'e teach her the rules of being a woman.

She no longer lived in the same room with him, and no longer did silly childish things that caused him headaches. She began to know his status and the distance between him and him.

But she is still illiterate, blame her for being too stupid.

Zhijin has figured out the locations of the big and small Koizumi houses in Shengcheng, and is going to sneak in to find out, although this is against "indecent negligence".

Koizumi houses are all shared bathing pools, and the scene is very fragrant. Xing Jun, who knows that she has some cleanliness and is extremely unwilling to share something with others, will definitely not appear in such a place.

So she went to the most expensive and quiet soup house in the city, named "Chunshe".

Based on previous experience, she thought that she would go in familiarly, but she never thought that the layout of this place is very unique, it can be said that the winding paths lead to secluded places, and the scenery is intoxicating.

Finally, after bypassing several large bluestones, I saw a thatched hut style soup pool surrounded by green bamboos. The light curtains were slightly raised, and there was a curling mist in it, but I couldn’t tell what was inside. What should I do?
After much deliberation, she had no choice but to steal the clothes of the maid in the spring house, changed her makeup and hair, held up the tray, moved lightly with lotus steps, and moved forward slowly.

She pretended to be delicate, and said through the white curtain, "Guest officer, this house has newly released fine wine, please taste it."

"Come in."

If it's a man, will it be Xingjun?
"New here?" He looked at the beautiful woman by the pool who was sizing him up, and said calmly.

"Why did the guest officer say that?" Zhijin was a little disappointed when he saw the strange face of the man in the pool.

"The women here don't dare to look at me like you do." He chuckled, showing half of his body, stepping on the stones in the water, walking towards her.

She hurriedly buried her face and got up.

"stop."

He was very close to her, and said coldly, "Changing clothes."

Changing for him means having a skin-to-skin relationship with him, which is definitely impossible.If not, then just kick him into the pool.

She was thinking about it, and raised her head, but her foot didn't kick him, instead she fell into the pool with a plop.

This is just great……

Outside the curtain, there was a maid who timidly asked, "My eldest son, what's the matter with you?"

Perhaps the loud sound of falling into the water attracted the attention of the passing maids.

"It's okay, step back." He deliberately said loudly, with a hidden smile in his tone.

Zhizhu dragged his wet dress and looked at him viciously, so annoyed that he really wanted to use magic to trap him in the pool, and then throw a snake in to scare him to death.

At this moment, he had already dressed, drinking tea while leaning on the soft bed by the pool, and did not drink the wine she brought.

"Who exactly are you?"

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you, so I'm leaving." It seems that she can only use magic to get out of this situation.

"It's a wild girl to ban magic in the world."

He is not mortal!
She couldn't bear the sticky feeling of the wet clothes, since he knew his identity, there was no need to be polite, so he quickly changed his clothes, makeup and hair with magic.

"I am a demon, who are you?"

"You are honest. Women like you are very rare. I am a tiger, Changdi."

Tiger, is a very honorable status, can he help find Lord Xing?

"Do you know Kongchen?"

"You are Ember?" He was slightly surprised.

She was also surprised, "How do you know?"

"Sister Yi'er, asked me to find Kong Chen for you."

"What a coincidence." Her anger quickly subsided, "How can you help me find him?"

"He is a fairy who was demoted to the mortal world. It is not easy to find him."

She knew it was not easy, but she had to find him, because she hadn't seen the person she thought about day and night for a long, long time, and she always felt that a certain part of her body was being cut bit by bit by a sharp knife, and she was in too much pain.
