Hard to smile

Chapter 33
Jiushan was still helping Bai Guang with the housework in a gentle and jade-like way. Hu Chun greeted him politely, and seeing his warm smile again, he had a new feeling, at least not as blissful as the first time they met.

Once the scheming behind the smile is seen through, the warmer the smile, the more chilling it will be.

Bai Guang was cooking, and it was very lively. She didn't hear Hu Chun coming, and she flipped the iron pot like a showmanship. The vegetables in the pot were turned over in the air, and all fell back into the pot. The oil splashed, and a small wall of fire was ignited.

Bai Guang let out a "huh", turned around in surprise and said, "Jiu Shan, your table is so professionally set up, it's comparable to a chef's."

When she saw Hu Chun, she was startled, and said with a smile, "You really are an animal with pads on its paws, and you walk without sound."

Hu Chun looked at her smiling face and said nothing.She understands Bai Guang, and also understands her various expressions. There is no scheming behind her smiling face, only sadness.

She walked over to help Bai Guang pull the bellows, every time she pulled the bellows, the fire in the stove became hotter and the aroma of the vegetables became stronger. "Well, this stove is pretty good." Hu Chun said with a smile, "Your culinary skills have also improved a lot, and the rough tea and light meals you cooked for me before dare to deal with me."

Bai Guang smiled and put the dishes on the plate, "Every time you come here empty-handed, I can dig some sweet potatoes and eggplants for you, and put a rabbit and pheasant on it. I love you so much. Jiushan brought these things by herself. Come here, delicacies from mountains and seas, fresh vegetables, I just provide craftsmanship."

After hearing this, Jiushan said with a smile, "I'm just doing it by hand. You know, there is a market outside Ding Temple."

Both Hu Chun and Bai Guang fell into silence. Of course they remembered, and they also remembered the days when they were with Jufeng in Ding Temple. I feel very happy.

"I came here to smell the scent."

When Hu Chun and Bai Guang heard Ju Feng's voice, they both looked up in surprise, and for a moment they suspected that they were thinking and deceiving, but when they saw Ju Feng walking in through the cave, they felt different in their hearts.

Jiushan did not express any special surprise, and respectfully bowed to Jufeng, smiling and not saying a word.

Hu Chun looked at Bai Guang, at a time like this, she was the last person to talk.She just couldn't figure it out, since Ju Feng wanted to make Bai Guang forget him, why did he still appear here?

Bai Guang hesitated for a moment, his smile remained unchanged, and he pretended not to care and said, "You can always come when the food is ready."

Ju Feng listened, laughed, nodded in agreement with this sentence, sat down at Jiushan's newly moved stone table, and raised his hand to let Jiushan sit down.Hu Chun looked on coldly, thinking that both he and Yong Wei had a hobby of overwhelming others, but it was so logical.

Hu Chun helped Bai Guang put all the dishes on the table, Jiu Shan poured wine for everyone, and helped Bai Guang bring up the well-served rice.

"Sit down, I'll do the rest." Jiushan smiled at Bai Guang.

Bai Guang wiped his hands on the apron, "There's nothing else to do, let's sit together."

Much like a young couple having dinner at home.

Hu Chun sneaked a glance at Jufeng's expression, he had already started eating vegetables, and seemed not in the mood to watch Jiushan and Bai Guang's situation.Hu Chun knew that Jiushan's hospitality was for Ju Feng to see, and suddenly her heart lit up, and she somewhat understood Ju Feng's reason for coming.Since even Yongwei can see Jiushan's obedience and disobedience, Ju Feng is naturally more aware that his coming this time may not be to frighten Jiushan.

All four of them sat down, and Hu Chun became embarrassed. In this case, she should be the initiator of the topic.She searched her brains and asked Ju Feng with a smile, "How was your banquet going?"

Ju Feng didn't look up while he was eating, "You and Yong Wei had a great time in the Snowy Palace. You couldn't hear the loud drum music. It's been several days since you finished it. Why are you asking?"

Hu Chun's face was burning hot, he was dumbfounded, and there was no way to talk today.Did Ju Feng tell her to shut up?
Both Bai Guang and Jiu Shan pretended not to hear, Bai Guang put a braised shrimp in Jiu Shan's bowl nonchalantly, and they looked at each other and smiled.

"Is Ding Shen's job annoying?" Ju Feng suddenly asked Jiu Shan.

"It's okay." Jiushan nodded slightly.

Relying on chatting about the new things in Zhuozhou, everyone finished their meal in a moderate manner. Hu Chun was embarrassed to speak again, for fear that Jufeng would talk nonsense again, but Bai Guang listened with a smile all the time, and didn't say much.She picked up the bowl to clean up, but Jiushan pressed her hand.

"You rest, I'll come." Jiushan looked at her and smiled again.

Hu Chun looked aside, Jiushan is really a person who is very good at acting, and it is really inferior to be the deputy of the river god.

After eating, Jufeng walked around the cave to see what Jiushan had added.

Jiushan and Bai Guang washed dishes together, using a water basin dug out of stones, which was close to the cave wall, and the Wen Qiu lamps presented by Yongwei were inserted into the stone wall at an angle and poured out endlessly. warm water.The warm water swirled in the basin, then gurgled down a stone trough, and gathered at the corner of the cave to form a small spring pool.I don't know what method was used in the spring pool. It looks like there is a spring in the middle, and a small water umbrella emerges. I can't see the water outlet. I can only see a very delicate small landscape, and I can also bathe.

"Jiushan, you are worthy of being a dragon, this is very well done." Ju Feng praised, and looked at Hu Chun sarcastically, "Of course, you also have to rely on the treasures bestowed by the gods as eyes."

Hu Chun didn't dare to speak out, fearing that he would say that Yong Wei stole his Tianshuang Xueyu's things.

Jiushan is a smart person, and after washing the dishes, she said, "I'll go first." He knew that Ju Feng had something to say to Bai Guang, and it must be about himself, so he avoided it neatly, without even making excuses.

He walked too fast and too abruptly, and Hu Chun also wanted to leave, but Ju Feng didn't give her a chance.

As soon as Jiu Shan walked out of the cave, Ju Feng asked Bai Guang, "How is he?"

Hu Chun opened his mouth, but the words "I'm leaving too" were all held back in his throat.

Bai Guang took off his apron, looked at Ju Feng with a faint smile, "If I say he is not good, do you still want to recommend a new Ding Shen to replace him?"

"Yes." Ju Feng said firmly.

"Oh." Bai Guang nodded, expressing his understanding, "He's fine, let him be."

Ju Feng smiled, "Then I can rest assured."

Because of his words, Hu Chun felt a pain in her heart, she couldn't imagine how it would feel for Bai Guang to hear it.If it is ruthless, why does Ju Feng come to seek proof again?He could just take care of his favor and stop asking any more. As Bai Guang said, as long as he made compensations and felt comfortable, the two would never see each other again.But he happened to come again...

Jufeng passed by Hu Chun when he was leaving the cave. The wind blowing on him was very cold. He was not happy when he got this answer.

"Old Ba, you go too, and leave me alone for a while." Sitting on the stone bench, Bai Guang said in a daze.

Hu Chun nodded, and walked out silently. Jiushan Torch Peak had long disappeared, leaving only the small bamboo pavilion quietly and peacefully in the sun. The morning glory planted by Jiushan had already bloomed, and the thin vines twisted and twisted around the bamboo beams, just like people's hearts.

It was only a blink of an eye to return to Xiangyue Hall, and Hu Chun's heart was still heavy. She had a lot to say to Yong Wei, and she wanted to hear what he had to say.He knew Jufeng well, so he should be able to explain all kinds of strange things about Jufeng.

Standing outside Xiangyue Hall were the immortal attendants on duty, led by Feng Yinxueyin, Hu Chunben didn't pay attention, and walked straight into the hall, but Feng Yin took a step forward and stopped her politely.

"Miss Hu Chun, the priest is eating, please go in later."

Hu Chun was stunned, since she and Yongwei fell asleep together, she went straight in and out of Shitang Palace, and no one dared to stop her.Feng Yin's actions this time are really weird.She hesitated, "Is someone in there?"

Feng Yin was expressionless, neither in a hurry nor in a panic, and did not answer.

If he didn't answer, it made Hu Chun understand better than if he answered, the whole Shitang Palace could not be mentioned in front of her, only Fairy Lingqiao.

"Ling Qiao is eating with Yong Wei?" Hu Chun raised his eyebrows, and his smile became cold and tricky.

Feng Yin acquiesced, because Hu Chun's anger was in a bad mood, burning fast and fiercely, his footsteps suddenly became heavier, and the posture of walking in seemed unstoppable.

Although Feng Yin didn't move out of the way, he didn't intend to stop her either.The god master was called by name, and the matters between her and the god master should not be meddled by the attendants.Feng Yin has been around Yong Wei for so long, he has a good sense of when to advance and when to retreat.

But there were some people who didn't know how to advance or retreat. Xue Yin raised his arm and really blocked Hu Chun's way, and he was not polite in speaking.

"Miss Hu Chun, the Heavenly Concubine has given orders that 'nobody' is allowed to disturb the Divine Master and Fairy Lingqiao when they get along." Anyone's accent was so heavy that Hu Chun's face turned blue.

Feng Yin glanced at Xue Yin, but didn't speak.

He also understood Xue Yin's actions.She was originally the concubine's eyeliner, but she was no longer favored by the god lord. Only by boldly following the concubine's orders could she be protected by the concubine.

Hu Chun has always been slick and timid, and she dared not bully anyone except Yong Wei, but when she thought of the scene where Yong Wei and Ling Qiao had dinner together, she became furious, and no one cared about the gods and concubines.

"Get out of the way." She pushed domineeringly. She received Yong Wei's charm, and her celestial power had improved a lot. Xue Yin couldn't guard against it. She was pushed back again and again, bumping into the vermilion lacquer pillar. Don't dare to cry out the pain.

Hu Chun rushed in, and the dining table was indeed placed in the inner hall. I don't know if the fox's domain awareness has not subsided on her. She felt that the area behind the rare bead curtain in Xiangyue Hall belonged to her and Yongwei. Anyone who comes in is an invasion.She lifted the curtain too hard, and the beads slammed into each other scatteredly, making a noisy sound.

She saw Ling Qiao holding up chopsticks to deliver food to Yong Wei's mouth, she barged in arrogantly, both Yong Wei and Ling Qiao frowned at her, she also stopped with a smile that couldn't be discarded, pretending to look at it calmly them.

When Ling Qiao came back to her senses, she raised her eyebrows slightly, continued to eat with one hand, and held the chopsticks in the other hand, continuing to deliver the food to Yong Wei's mouth.

Yong Wei didn't raise his eyebrows, and didn't look at Hu Chun again, and said, "Put it on a plate, and I'll eat it myself."

Ling Qiao didn't listen, and stubbornly and half-forcedly brought it to Yong Wei's lips. Yong Wei hesitated for a moment, but ate it anyway.

Hu Chun knew that this was Ling Qiao's demonstration.

She was about to explode with anger, these two people were like two thorns, piercing hard into her eyes.She deliberately laughed out loud, and said blankly: "Eat slowly." She walked around the screen without looking aside, walked into the inner hall, and sat heavily on the edge of the bed.

She heard Yong Wei say, "You go first, I don't want to eat."

This sentence is also heartbreaking!When Yong Wei asked her to go, he would say "go down", but to Ling Qiao, he used the equal "go".Of course, Ling Qiao is the daughter of King Chen, a legitimate princess of the Heaven Realm, no matter how noble Yong Wei is, she can't let Ling Qiao "go down"!
Ling Qiao knew that she was the one who would be embarrassed by staying here, so she smiled aggrievedly, bowed her head and left.Her grievances are so obvious, just to let Yong Wei see clearly.

Yong Wei walked around the screen and felt the low air pressure.

He looked at Hu Chun, she smiled and sat on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed, of course, she had to smile, but there was no warmth in this smile.She stared at him, and he didn't know why he avoided her gaze.

"Just in time for dinner, let's eat together." He wanted to speak casually, but it sounded guilty.

"Eat together?" Hu Chun's anger erupted suddenly, and she found that she was more angry with Yong Wei than hating Ling Qiao.In all fairness, when she saw Ling Qiao humbly flattering Yong Wei, a trace of pity flashed in her heart, just like seeing Ling Qiao bowing down to the concubine Tian that day, Ling Qiao had indeed given up all her arrogance and even dignity for Yong Wei.She will always remember the awe-inspiring nobility and arrogance when she first met Ling Qiao. "In the future, if you marry her, you can eat together for the rest of your life. What's the rush!"

After saying this, Hu Chun's heart twitched and it hurt.This is not angry words, this is the truth.

After hearing this, Yong Wei looked at her coldly. This time, she was the one who couldn't meet her and turned her head to avoid it.

"I won't marry her." Yong Wei said coldly and majesticly, regaining her divine tone.

Hu Chun remembered Tianfei's angry words again, and smiled coldly, "Yes, Tianfei is picking a better girl for you in the sky."

Yong Wei felt that she was sitting and he was standing, so he lost his temper, so he sat down on the nearest chair and glared at her imposingly, "Why do you make such a fuss?"

Making a fuss?Hu Chun's face became even uglier. "Then tell me, what is the correct way? When you gods see this scene, do you still come forward with a smile, sit next to you on the left and right, and feed you one bite at a time? Oh, yes, Queen E Britain!"

Yong Wei stared angrily, but couldn't find anything to refute this sentence, so he could only hum heavily.

His silence made Hu Chun feel as if he had punched nothing, and his sorrow and anger were all held in his throat, unable to utter or swallow.

She was blocked for a while, distracted, and he just didn't say anything, and the ups and downs of the fight were the most annoying.

"Let her go!" She stood up abruptly, her hands clenched against her body, her voice hoarse.

Yong Wei's face sank like water, "I can't do it."

Hu Chun seemed to be drenched in ice water from head to toe, he said he couldn't do it?She forgot, of course he couldn't do it, the concubine concubine allowed Ling Qiao to stay, she just gave Ling Qiao another chance to win Yong Wei's heart and make Yong Wei agree to marry her.Yong Wei didn't drive her away either, but... also gave Ling Qiao a chance.How could he drive Ling Qiao away for her sake?

"Then... I'll go!" Thousands of arrows came in an instant.
