Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 172 Uncle Immortal
13 years have passed, are things right and people wrong?

Murong Wei was a little bit perplexed, after 13 years of separation, and seeing you again at this moment when the flowers are falling, how could it not be embarrassing!

Xiao Jinglan walked slowly to her side. Zhang Songren, the host of the Bixia Temple, was a little surprised when he saw him, and suddenly remembered something, with a clear look on his face, as if he remembered his status as a layman before he became a Taoist priest. Xiao Jinglan was also Prince Jing's son, so it's not surprising that he appeared in front of the queen now.

"Pindao has seen the empress..."

He stepped forward and gave a Taoist ritual, and smiled slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhang Songren next to him said hastily: "I don't know if Madam remembers Mr. Jing Wang who became a monk many years ago. This is it. Now it's my place to place the order."

Murong Wei suppressed some joyful but melancholy emotions, and said in a gentle voice: "How can I not remember, Taoist priest has always been good?"

Xiao Jinglan hadn't seen Murong Wei for many years. Seeing that she was already a mother, her children were in their teens and nearly [-] years old. Her face didn't wither, but it was like fine wine, which made people have an endless aftertaste, like a peony in full bloom. Blooming a graceful and luxurious figure, because of happiness, she looks radiant, as if she is in her early twenties, her beauty also makes people forget the world.

It's just that now, seeing that the beautiful woman in his heart is now a mother, the mood is really complicated, sour, bewildered, lost, or a little relaxed about letting go of the old things, the joy of seeing friends who have been around for many years, all kinds of emotions make him feel a little excited for a while stand up.

There seemed to be a lot to say, but in the end everything turned into a hoarse sentence: "Poverty is always safe."

Thousands of words, where to start?

Lele looked at Xiao Jinglan curiously, with some surprise on her beautiful little face, she is a quiet child, except for the necessary homework, her favorite thing is to sleep, but this does not mean that she is stupid, in fact She is sensitive.

At this moment, she was keenly aware of the mysterious and strange atmosphere between her mother and Xiao Jinglan in front of her.

His mother is an old acquaintance with him?

Why is there such a strange expression?
Brother Pei looked at the unparalleled man in front of him in amazement, and shook his hand: "Mother, who is he?"

Murong Wei caressed her son's small head with downcast eyes: "This is Daoist Xiao, the second son of Prince Jing."

Brother Pei knew that King Jing was a legendary figure, and his eyes lit up at this moment, "I see, are you that Uncle Jing Lan who became a monk for my aunt?"

The five-year-old Xiaoqianxi blinked her big round eyes and asked, "Are you a fairy? Queen Mother, can we bring the fairy back to the palace?"

Everyone laughed.

Wen Xiang glared at the little girl as if feeling ashamed: "It's not a god, but a human being, we should be called uncles."

Qianxi flattened her mouth, feeling aggrieved, how could she be so beautiful if she wasn't a god?This little girl knows beauty and ugliness at such a young age. When she saw the immortal-like person in front of her, she immediately fell in love with her. She ignored her brother, ran over to grab Xiao Jinglan's sleeve and swayed, "Are you an immortal?" , must be a fairy."

Xiao Jinglan laughed lightly, this little girl looks very much like Murong Wei, as if she is a small version of Murong Wei calling him, this made Xiao Jinglan couldn't help liking this little person very much, and said with some doting: "I'm not Immortal, but I can juggle."

"Ah, change quickly." Qianxi clapped her little hands happily.

Murong Wei reprimanded: "Nonsense, this child is really..."

At this time, Xiao Mingrui and Hutou had finished worshiping Bixia Yuanjun, and they were looking for someone, but they saw Murong Wei talking to a Taoist priest, and Qianxi was still holding the Taoist priest with an expectant face, so she couldn't help being very surprised.

Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps forward, Xiao Mingrui suddenly stopped, and looked at the Taoist in front of him in surprise... Xiao Jinglan!

It was him.

Thousands of thoughts floated in Xiao Mingrui's mind. When he saw Xiao Jinglan at this moment, he was also a little disappointed. Time flies, some old people in the past are afraid that things are just people and things are not things, right?

Seeing Xiao Jinglan here now was quite a surprise, but Xiao Mingrui no longer cared as much as before.

Xiao Jinglan also saw him, and the two looked at each other, as if they were confronting each other, but after only a moment, they all returned to calm.

Xiao Mingrui laughed inwardly, the child is grown up, why is he still doing such childish behavior?
Hutou looked at his father and the Taoist priest in surprise, he was amazed in his heart, did he read it right just now, why did the father show that tit-for-tat look?
This very strange relationship puzzled him a lot, but the way his mother talked to the Taoist priest was obviously not like a stranger, but revealed a kind of casualness and familiarity between familiar friends, which made him understand his parents and this Taoist priest. The Taoist relationship is even more strange.

It's just that it was inconvenient for him to talk much when he saw this situation, so of course he wisely shut up.

"Jing Lan, it's you. I never thought I'd see you here." Xiao Mingrui smiled slightly, as if meeting a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Xiao Jinglan returned the salute, "The poor Taoist is also surprised, and he is about to congratulate the emperor for granting Zen to Mount Tai, and all nations come to court."

"I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same as before." Xiao Mingrui glanced at Qianxi and waved to her.

Unexpectedly, Qianxi refused to come over, and just shouted in a childish voice: "Uncle Immortal, you are going to do magic tricks, Qianxi wants to see if it is good. Well, I will give you something, and you can do tricks for me, okay?"

Xiao Mingrui was a little astonished, the eyes he was looking at his daughter were already a little unhappy, and his heart was even more jealous, good girl, you just like the new and dislike the old, forgetting about your own father?

Xiao Mingrui usually dotes on this youngest daughter very much, but now seeing that his daughter ignores him, he invites Xiao Jinglan, who is so affectionate when they meet him for the first time, it really upsets a pot of old vinegar.

Murong Wei is funny and angry, but she is not dissatisfied with Qianxi in her heart, at least she knows how to exchange equal value. It seems that although she is young, thanks to her usual education, she has not developed the habit of arrogance. It made her feel more relieved.

Seeing Xiao Mingrui's expression, Xiao Jinglan was not afraid of worry, but rather gloated. I don't know why, after many years, the relationship between the two parties is still not so harmonious.

"Okay, uncle will show you."

Xiao Mingrui entered the stele pavilion, sat down on one side, and said calmly: "Jing Lan, stop teasing the children, I haven't seen you for a few years, sit down and talk."

Seeing this situation, Murong Wei asked the Taoist priests around to retreat first, and the host of Bixia Temple asked people to prepare some refreshments and left a quiet place for them to chat.

Hutou looked at Father Huang and Xiao Jinglan strangely, and thought, this atmosphere is getting more and more strange.

Xiao Jinglan smiled and thanked him for sitting, the eunuch was serving him, Qianxi wanted Xiao Jinglan to do tricks, Wen Xiang said: "Little sister, stop making trouble, this is uncle, you need to be polite, you know?"

Lele was sitting on the sidelines watching the play, smiling slightly, and eating snacks quietly. At this time, her expression was exactly the same as that of her elder brother, Hutou, who was a compatriot of the same mother. Humanoid.

On the other hand, Wen Pei echoed Qianxi: "I think Uncle Jing Lan must be a master of Taoism. Will you fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and kill people with flying swords thousands of miles away? How about a spell for my little sister and us?" Brother and sister, open your eyes, okay?"

This child has listened to a lot of fairy tales and storytellers' storytelling recently, and has been fantasizing about flying into the sky and escaping from the ground all day long. He happened to meet Xiao Jinglan, a Taoist priest with a particularly "superior" style, how could he not Curious?

Xiao Mingrui frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his second son's incomprehension. Although he didn't want his sons to fight for the heir apparent, he also didn't want his sons to be idle except for the eldest son.

Murong Wei glared at Pei Ge'er from the side: "How can there be such a person in this world? You, you are thinking wildly all day long. Jing Lan, the children speak innocently, so don't be angry."

Xiao Jinglan smiled happily and said, "Your Majesty, you are being polite. How could Xiaodao be angry? It's too late to be happy. Both the second prince and the little princess wanted to see a trick, so Xiaodao made a fool of himself."

After speaking, he smiled and stretched out two hands, one holding a copper coin, and the other holding nothing.

The children all looked at his hand curiously, Xiao Jinglan said, "Now guess which hand is the copper coin in?"

"I know, the left hand." Qianxi said happily, she just looked at Xiao Jinglan holding the copper coin in her left hand.

Xiao Jinglan stretched out his left hand, but there was nothing.

"Why not?"

"It must be on the right hand." Brother Pei said.

Xiao Jinglan stretched out his right hand, but there was no right hand.

"Hey, where did it go?" Qianxi looked left and right, puzzled.

Xiao Jinglan didn't let go of anything this time, he held his hands, and suddenly he clapped his hands in the middle, and when he opened them again, a white and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed in his hands.

"Wow, so beautiful." Qianxi looked at Xiao Jinglan with glowing eyes.

Xiao Jinglan put the sweet-scented osmanthus in her hand lovingly: "Little princess, this is for you."

Qianxi was very happy, looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus over and over again, obviously wanting to know how it appeared.

Murong Wei looked at this scene dumbfounded, and her somewhat melancholy mood was interrupted by this happy scene.

Hutou looked at his younger sister with a smile, then looked at his father, queen mother, and Xiao Jinglan, a strange thought suddenly popped up in his mind, did the three of them have any entanglements back then?

No way, the queen mother will have entanglements with other men?
He has seen how loving his parents are since he was a child. It can be said that he has never seen a couple in the clan like his father.

"Jing Lan is still as funny as before. This little girl is usually very naughty, but I didn't expect to fall in love with you." Xiao Mingrui said with a half-smile.

Xiao Jinglan sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty is right, there is indeed some fate between people, just like Xiaodao can meet His Majesty and Empress here today, isn't it fate? Originally, Xiaodao planned to have a relationship in the next few days. Those who leave, don’t want His Majesty to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai, the path is blocked on the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to see each other.”

Murong Wei coughed lightly, "Cough, the tea in Bixia Temple is pretty good. Jinglan, you've been here for so many years, why haven't you returned to the capital? Prince Jing is very worried about you."

Xiao Mingrui glanced at her and snorted.

Xiao Jinglan sighed, "I'm afraid that when I see my father, he won't be able to resist breaking my legs."

"Why did you break Uncle's leg?" Qianxi asked curiously.

Hutou said next to him: "Uncle Jinglan hasn't returned for many years. I don't think so when I go back. The son wants to support him but he doesn't want to wait for his relatives. Prince Jing is getting older. I think the filial piety should start from today."

Xiao Jinglan looked at the tiger's head, remained silent for a long time, and said approvingly: "His Royal Highness is right, but Xiaodao is a good one. His Royal Highness will teach you tomorrow, and the emperor is really good at teaching."

Although the two of them still didn't deal with each other very much, Xiao Mingrui still accepted others' compliments on his son not very humbly. He thought his son was good enough, so of course he was not polite at this time, and just said: "He is still young. , How can you stand up to this kind of praise, you have to remember the quality, honest words are good for you, don't just listen to other people's praise."

"Yes, Father, I will always remember Father's teachings."

Xiao Jinglan shook his head, expressing his amusement at Xiao Mingrui's low-key boasting, but he didn't tell the truth, and then he talked about the situation after the farewell. There were many things, but there were also many interesting things.

Xiao Jinglan has traveled all over the world, has extensive knowledge, knows a thing or two about many things in the world, and his words are humorous, even Hutou has a good impression of him after a while, thinking that this person is really a handsome and romantic person.

Speaking of these things, Xiao Mingrui temporarily put aside some of the old holidays, listened to what Xiao Jinglan said about the sufferings of the people, was inspired, and planned to start investigation and rectification after returning to Beijing.

Qianxi is only a five-year-old child, and at this time, Xiao Jinglan was very interested in hearing some interesting stories from other places: "Uncle Immortal, your life is really happy, I am bored every day in the palace, if I can talk to you It would be great if Uncle Immortal went out to play together."

Xiao Jinglan smiled and said, "Little princess, you have a noble status, and you can't run around like me."

Murong Wei said: "You have been running away for these years, should you settle down? When should you get married?"

Xiao Jinglan was stunned, Taoists can marry and have children, Taoism is different from Buddhism in this aspect, but Xiao Jinglan has been away for many years, how can he still think about it, now he is thirty years old, and he is still alone, hearing the old days When the woman he had a crush on told him such things, he had all the five flavors in his heart for a moment, as if he had knocked over a seasoning bottle.

Xiao Mingrui thought the idea was very good when he heard it, nodded and said: "Yes, there are three ways to be unfilial and have no descendants. It is better for Jing Lan to get married as soon as possible. I think you will go back to Beijing this time and find a marriage."

Xiao Jinglan hurriedly said: "Xiao Dao is devoted to Taoism, and he has no intention of doing so. Besides, my brother already has children, but my Xiao family has descendants."

Xiao Mingrui was a little unhappy in his heart, he has been thinking for so many years, do you still think about my wife?
Which man can have any affection for such a love rival who has always been unmarried and has a deep affection for his wife, and can he not feel unhappy in his heart?
A strange light flashed in Hutou's eyes. Seeing his father's face, he secretly smiled, wondering if there was any love debt back then, otherwise why were father and mother so anxious about their marriage?

He exchanged glances with his younger sister, Lele. The twin brothers and sisters had a good understanding, but at this moment they kept silent and seemed lively.

Joke, it is such a great pleasure to have this opportunity to know some interesting things about my parents back then.

Brother Pei, who has a big nerve, is still smiling and talking to his younger siblings, obviously not aware of anything wrong.

Qian Xi's eyes widened: "Does Uncle Immortal not have Aunt Immortal?"

Xiao Jinglan was very tolerant and loving to this little lolita, and said with a smile: "Isn't it great that uncle can travel all over the world in a relaxed and unrestrained way?"

"But wouldn't it be boring to be alone?" Qianxi suddenly said with bright eyes: "Why don't I accompany my uncle, queen mother, can you tell me, I will go out to play with my uncle, and come back to watch when I grow up." Father and queen."

Murong Wei was stunned, Xiao Mingrui shouted urgently: "Nonsense, how can you go out with him, you are a princess!"

Xiao Jinglan was also stunned for a while, seeing Xiao Mingrui's anxious expression on his face, he hurriedly said: "Little princess, this is not okay, uncle can't take you out to play, think about it, men and women are different, of course you, as a princess, can't play with you." I'm running around."

Qianxi pouted and looked at Xiao Mingrui timidly, her father had never been so angry with her before, she immediately hid away from her mother, showing her small head, and muttered: "I just want to go out to play. "

Murong Wei patted her little head: "Okay, silly girl, you are not a fairy aunt, how can you run around with your fairy uncle?"

"Can Aunt Immortal go out and play with Uncle?"

"Yes, but it depends on whether your uncle takes her out."

"Oh." Little Lolita thought half-understood, and suddenly fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Several people talked here for a long time, after all it was getting late, Xiao Mingrui and the others would not stay on the mountain, they wanted to live in the Daimiao Palace at the foot of Mount Tai, so they got up and left.

Xiao Jinglan got up to see him off, but Qianxi suddenly ran to his side, raised her head, and said seriously: "Uncle Immortal, can I be your immortal aunt?"

Everyone was shocked.

Murong Wei was dumbfounded, and Xiao Mingrui immediately became sullen.

Xiao Jinglan was also speechless for a while, and after a long pause, he stammered, "Ah, this won't work, you little girl is only five years old, why..."

"Then I will marry you when I grow up."

Qianxi said with a smile, quite proud of herself, thinking that this idea is really great, and she can play with Uncle Immortal everywhere instead of being locked in the palace.

Xiao Mingrui's face was completely black, he gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Jinglan, bastard, look at this guy, he actually wanted to abduct his five-year-old daughter when he appeared!
"Little sister." Lele stepped forward and pulled her sister, and said anxiously: "This is not allowed, uncle is our uncle, you can't be his wife, you know?"

"Oh? Why?" Little Loli asked dissatisfied.

Xiao Jinglan also came to his senses at this time, but felt dumbfounded, God is pitiful, he didn't have that kind of animal heart to think about a five-year-old girl, let alone, it was Murong Wei's daughter!

If he married her daughter, calling her a mother-in-law wouldn't work. Isn't that nonsense?

"Little princess, our generations are different, and I am already old, and you are still young. In the future, the emperor and queen will definitely choose a consort of your age."

Qianxi pursed her mouth in disappointment: "Oh, so that's the case."

There was air-conditioning around Xiao Mingrui, Murong Wei looked at him with a wry smile, stepped forward and brought her daughter over: "Tong Yan Wuji, that, Tong Yan Wuji, hehe..."

Hutou also quickly smoothed things over: "That's how my lonely little girl always wants to go out to play, she's so naughty, she heard that Uncle Jinglan is out playing around the world, so she just wants to follow you, this girl is really..."

Wen Xiang next to her stepped forward and said, "It's really embarrassing, why do I have such a silly sister..."

Qian Xi glared at him: "You are stupid."

Xiao Mingrui snorted coldly, "Jing Lan's charm is really not small."

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui's face was really ugly, Xiao Jinglan cried out in his heart, how could he know what the child was thinking?
Murong Wei smiled wryly at the side, and gave her daughter a hard look. Really, can you talk nonsense?

His daughter married Xiao Jinglan, and Murong Wei shivered just thinking about the situation.

Not to mention his relationship with himself, just say that Xiao Jinglan is in his 30s, her daughter is only five years old, even if he grows up, he will be in his 40s, so how can it be, isn't it an old cow eating young grass?

However, Xiao Jinglan had his own concerns. When he was blown up by this little lolita, he thought of another person in his mind, and couldn't help being distressed. He thought, this time I'm hiding here, won't she still find me?
Who would have thought that this side of the car was delivered to the gate of Bixia Temple, and suddenly a happy shout came from a distance, "Ha, Xiao Jinglan, I found you!"

Everyone looked in amazement, but they saw that he was a handsome young man in a moon-white dress, about [-] years old, with red lips and white teeth, high spirits, red phoenix eyes, black eyes rolling with excitement, and was about to rush up when he was caught by the guards. blocked.

Murong Wei glanced over, wondering who it was, when she suddenly saw Xiao Jinglan with a bitter face and a headache: "Why are you here again?"

"Hey, you are officers and soldiers, what's the matter, what, Your Majesty?"

The young man was startled, and he looked up and saw the extremely noble family members. Looking at their demeanor, he realized that the emperor and empress were indeed traveling together, and Xiao Jinglan was also there. Thinking of Xiao Jinglan's identity, it became clear , not surprising.

"Cao Min pays homage to the Emperor, Empress, Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The young man hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Murong Wei's eyes lit up, she took a closer look, then looked at Xiao Jinglan who was frowning, and thought to herself: What kind of boy is he obviously a girl, when did this guy provoke such a girl?

It seems that she is not young, but she still feels like an unmarried woman. Could it be that this guy has some emotional entanglements with others?
Xiao Mingrui obviously also saw that this was a woman, and looked at Xiao Jinglan thoughtfully, "Jing Lan, who is this?"

Xiao Jinglan smiled wryly and said: "This is the niece of the real master of Wudang Mountain, who also entered the mountain later, it is my junior sister Zhang Youzhen."

"Oh, Senior Brother and Junior Sister." Murong Wei elongated her tone meaningfully, seeing the girl's startled and then flushed face, she already understood in her heart.

It seems that Xiao Jinglan has been avoiding others all these years?
Murong Wei couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, she always felt weird, she felt a little lost at the moment, but also a little relaxed, she smiled and said to Zhang Youzhen: "Miss Zhang, where did you chase after, how did you find it everywhere? Jing Lan, what's the matter?"

Zhang Youzhen blushed, and said falteringly: "This, this... is there something wrong, who made the senior brother run around all the time."

Xiao Jinglan stroked his forehead and said with a headache, "Your Majesty, empress, Xiaodao should send you down the mountain first."

Xiao Mingrui looked at him gloatingly: "Alright, it's getting late, you and this Miss Zhang must have a good catch up."

He laughed and pulled Murong Wei out.

As soon as he left, Xiao Jinglan ran directly outside, Zhang Youzhen yelled and chased after him: "Brother, don't run, bastard, you have been running for so many years! Where are you going, stop..."

Seeing Xiao Jinglan running away in a panic, Murong Wei immediately burst into laughter, trembling with laughter, and said in her heart: Well, Xiao Jinglan, you also have today!
Qianxi looked at this scene in amazement, "Mother, who is that person?"

Murong Wei smiled and said, "That might be your immortal aunt in the future."

"Ah, is that so, she is Aunt Immortal?" Qianxi watched curiously as Zhang Youzhen chased Xiao Jinglan all over the mountain, sticking out her little tongue: "Wow, she is so powerful. Empress, I want to learn from Aunt Immortal!"

Murong Wei suddenly became dizzy, God, she doesn't want to see her daughter chasing men all over the mountain!
Lele stepped forward and grabbed her sister's little ear, and scolded with a smile: "Silly sister, if you want to learn, you must learn from your mother. Don't you want to be as good as your mother?"

"Mother's queen?" Qian Xi was distracted by her sister's words, and her eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, Qianxi must be as powerful as mother's queen in the future!"

Murong Wei laughed and said: "You, don't think about it all the time when you are young, can you say what you just said casually?"

Xiao Mingrui also scolded: "That is, marry Xiao Jinglan, he will become an old man when you grow up, besides, he is an old acquaintance of the emperor father and your mother, how can you marry him?"

Qianxi pursed her lips, thinking, she wants to go out and play.

She doesn't know what being married means, after all, she is only a five-year-old girl, loved by her father and brother, innocent and innocent, she doesn't know much about these things.
