The fairy is fierce

Chapter 40: Fiancée and Aunt Wu



Bai He was very fast, and after a moment of trance, he arrived above the flower-filled Donghua City.

Looking from above, the capital city is divided into countless tofu blocks of different sizes, with Linhefang at the corner. In order to avoid disturbing the people, the white crane flew very high. Zuo Lingquan squinted his eyes and looked carefully before he found the swaying wine flags on the small street by the river.

I thought I couldn't see Tang Jingxun, but after searching carefully, I saw a busy figure in the courtyard behind the wine shop. It was just that he was flying so high that he obviously couldn't say hello. Before he could take a closer look, Bai He arrived at the Great Dan Imperial City.

The white crane flew to Fuyan Palace by familiar routes and landed in the garden outside the palace. When a palace maid discovered it, she quickly ran into the palace, presumably to report it.

Zuo Lingquan had never been to the imperial palace. Looking from the sky, the imperial city was all in four directions, and he couldn't tell where it was. He was admiring the imperial city buildings from the white crane. Before the white crane landed, he saw a woman in a red dress running out from under the eaves of the palace.

The woman held a wooden box in her hand. After running to the garden, she began to wave and said crisply: "Auntie!" She looked like a girl who hadn't seen her mother for a long time.

Zuo Lingquan stuck his head out and waved:

"Your Highness the Princess!"

"Um?"

Jiang Yi stood in the garden and looked up to see Zuo Lingquan above. She was startled for a moment, then realized what she was doing, her smile faded, and she returned to the calm look that an eldest princess should have.

She was about to ask "Why are you here?", but she immediately thought of more important things and waved her hand:

"Wait! Auntie, this is my bedroom, how can you bring him in?"

"Ling Quan is your future consort, isn't it normal to bring him here?"

Wu Qingwan's eyes were filled with smiles. After the white crane fell, it landed in the garden. She looked up at Jiang Yi's lips and nodded:

"Red flower honey, Ling Quan gave it to you yesterday, right? It's so beautiful."

When Jiang Yi saw Zuo Lingquan's eyes, she naturally wouldn't admit it:

"He gave a box yesterday, and I threw it to Leng Zhu. There are too many rouges in the palace, and they are all under the control of the palace maids. I never pay attention to these."

Leng Zhu stood behind her respectfully and muttered to herself, "Princess, if you don't want it, how dare I just take a box of rouge..." However, she never dared to say this out loud. She just gave the future master a very sensible gesture. wink.

Zuo Lingquan got off Bai He's back and understood the look in his future maid's eyes. He didn't care about Jiang Yi's desperate need to save face. He came to the front and looked at the wooden box in her hand:

"Your Highness Princess, is this from Jingtai?"

"Looking at the box, it should be right. Let's go into the house and talk."

Wu Qingwan was familiar with the way, so she took the wooden box and led the two of them to the dormitory.

Jiang Yi thought her aunt wanted to check it herself and handed the box over. Unexpectedly, her aunt turned around and gave it to Zuo Lingquan.

Jiang Yi wanted to say something, but facing her aunt who was like her teacher and mother, she was still much gentler than usual. She just glanced sideways at Zuo Lingquan, then hugged Wu Qingwan's arm and looked at her skirt:

"Auntie, this dress of yours is so beautiful, it fits well and is decent, and it makes me jealous to see it.

Wu Qingwan also glanced sideways at Zuo Lingquan, but she didn't say who gave it to her, she just smiled softly.

The age difference between the two women is more than 20 years, but Jiang Yi's temperament is pretentious and intellectual, and she has long lost the green pheasant of the little girl; Wu Qingwan has a high level of cultivation, but her age cannot be seen from her appearance.

The two stood together. They were about the same height and had the same long hair. They looked like sisters and mother and daughter.

The only obvious difference is that Wu Qingwan's figure is more mature and soft as water, while Jiang Yi is slightly taller and slender, with a bit of youthful agility and vitality.

As the two figures walked slowly, their waists were as light as willows and their hips were swaying. The charm of their gestures and gestures was enough to make it difficult for men to look away.

However, Zuo Lingquan was walking behind the two of them and really didn't notice the beautiful scenery in front of him. He just took the jade plaque in the wooden box and looked through it, then picked up the letter and glanced at it.

The paper was no ordinary paper. It felt very good to the touch and was a bit cold. He couldn't tell the texture. The content of the letter was quite simple - at the end of the year, nine sects were exchanging students and asked the Great Dan Dynasty to send three people to Jingtai. The journey was long and they had to set off as soon as possible. They would not wait until the expiration date.

After reading the letter, the three of them also entered the tea pavilion in the dormitory. The tea pavilion was very large and elegantly decorated, with some ornaments placed around it.

Jiang Yi did not greet Zuo Lingquan, but took Wu Qingwan's arm, pulled Wu Qingwan to sit down, and began to discuss business:

"Jingtai offers three places, all of which are given to disciples from Qihuang Valley. It's hard to convince everyone. How do you think Auntie should choose?"

Wu Qingwan sat sideways on the carved brocade couch. Instead of answering, she patted her side first:

"Ling Quan, please sit down too."

Zuo Lingquan knew Jiang Yi's temperament, but he had no interest in shooting. He sat down on the chair next to the tea table and poured tea for Wu Qingwan.

Jiang Yi pursed her lips, made a "fairly wink" look, hugged Wu Qingwan's arm and continued to ask.

Wu Qingwan came here specifically for this matter. After reading the letter, she thought about it:

"The meaning of sending it to the Imperial City is already obvious. If you want Qihuang Valley to be exclusive, you can send it directly to Qihuang Valley. Blessings are hard-won, so we must not take advantage of them. It is more fair to make it public and let the Great Dan Dynasty meet the conditions. People should come to the capital as soon as possible. As for how to choose, just have a fight and everyone will be convinced. "

Jiang Yi had the same idea in mind. He asked Wu Qingwan to come over to communicate, just to say hello in advance so that Qihuang Valley would not worry too much. He nodded immediately:

"Then it's settled. Everyone will arrive before the end of the month. Don't wait until late, otherwise no one will be able to go."

The Great Dan Dynasty was not a big country, but with two thousand miles from east to west and one thousand miles from north to south, its territory was not too small.

After Zuo Lingquan poured a cup of tea for his fiancée and Aunt Wu, he said, "It's already February 20th. Isn't it too hasty?"

Jiang Yi took the tea cup and had no choice but to ignore Zuo Lingquan, and explained: "If a practitioner does not have the consciousness of seizing the day, how can he be one step ahead of others on the road to immortality? Can he enter the inner sect of the Nine Sects? Given the blessing, let alone ten days, given one day, the monks below can find ways to come to the capital from Qinghe County, which is thousands of miles away, without having to worry about them. "

Zuo Lingquan thought about it, stopped interrupting, and listened quietly to the two women chatting about the details of the selection.

Wu Qingwan came over to discuss the matter, and took Zuo Lingquan with him in order to create some time for the future couple to spend time together. After the main business was almost finished, she put down her teacup, stood up and said:

"Jiang Yi, I'm going to visit your mother's old residence. You two can talk first."

After saying that, Wu Qingwan gave Zuo Lingquan an ambiguous look.

"Eh?" Jiang Yi was a little confused when she saw this, and wanted to follow him, but Wu Qingwan's eyes signaled her to treat the guests, and when she went out, she even took Leng Zhu and other palace maids out.

In an instant, only the man and woman were left in the large and clean tea pavilion.

After Aunt Qingwan left, Zuo Lingquan became a little more generous, leaned on the chair, and looked at Jiang Yi's lips.

After Jiang Yi waited for her aunt to leave, she also put on the usual eldest princess look, leaning back softly, picking up the tea leaves in the cup with the cup lid. Sensing Zuo Lingquan's gaze, she glanced sideways:

"What are you looking at?"

"Yes, this lipstick is suitable for a princess."

Jiang Yi snorted softly and looked at the reflection in the tea cup:

"Don't be so sentimental. I have a lot of rouge, and I don't use your box."

Leng Zhu's eyes revealed the message, and Zuo Lingquan already knew it well and could see through it without saying anything:

"Since the princess is not short of rouge, let's bring her a Wang's roast chicken next time."

Jiang Yi's expression condensed slightly, then she raised her eyes and smiled disdainfully:

"Since I was a child, I have always eaten fine meats and fine meats. How can I eat the kind of food that is sold in the market?"

"Senior Wu said it."

"..."

Jiang Yi's expression froze, and she thought to herself: "Why do you keep talking to this guy about everything..." Her heart suddenly turned, and she shook her head and said:

"That was when I was a kid, but now I don't like to eat it. Also, you just buy whatever my aunt asks you to buy. You are a grown man and you don't know how to make your own decisions?"

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he took out the wooden box from his arms and placed it on the tea table.

?

Jiang Yi opened her mouth, feeling like she was being led away by Zuo Lingquan. She glanced at the wooden box, without asking what it was, or saying whether she wanted it or not. She just pretended she hadn't seen it and said something else:

"Are you greedy to recruit disciples this time? Unfortunately, greed is of no use. If there was no request, I would have gone with my aunt, and it would never be your turn..."

Zuo Lingquan naturally didn't mind this little ridicule, after all, no one could go. He leaned on the chair and asked:

"When the princess returns to power, she will continue to practice, right?"

"That's natural. My talent is very good, but it has been neglected in recent years. I still want to go outside and have a look. How about your blocked meridians? If you can't practice for the rest of your life, it will be fun in the future. Ben The palace ranks among the Immortals, and you are still young and beautiful, but you have become an old man of seventy or eighty years old. When the time comes to meet each other...sigh~"

Jiang Yi looked pitiful, sighed softly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

But when Zuo Lingquan heard these words, he didn't feel any sadness at all. Instead, his mind moved slightly and he continued:

"When the time comes to meet each other, it will be 'eighteen-eighth bride and eighty-year-old man, with pale hair and red makeup. Mandarin ducks become twins under the quilt, and a pear tree presses the begonia'."

"Pfft-cough cough cough..."

Jiang Yi spit out a sip of tea, her chest shook wildly and she almost choked to death. She raised her cheeks and stared at Zuo Lingquan in disbelief. She didn't know whether she wanted to scold Zuo Lingquan for being "stinky and shameless" or to praise him for his literary talent.

Zuo Lingquan took a handkerchief from the side and handed it to Jiang Yi, jokingly saying:

"I heard it from the market before. If it is true as the princess said, if a man can live to that extent, his life will be considered in vain."

Jiang Yi was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. She took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips before saying in a deep voice:

"Even if you and I are married, we are still a secular couple. If I really become a fairy, do you think I will still remember you? You will still be like a pear tree weighing down a begonia. Sigh... You have a beautiful idea."

Zuo Lingquan raised the corners of his lips: "Since we have no love for each other forever, why did the princess come back to see me when I was still in my seventies and eighties?"

Jiang Yi was stunned and felt that her logic was a bit unreasonable. However, she was just joking and did not take it seriously, so she continued:

"Can't I come back to add insult to injury? When you are bedridden, I will stroll in front of you and say, 'I have hundreds of years to live, why are you buried right away?', I guarantee you will be so angry that you can't say anything. come out."

Zuo Lingquan imagined the scene, shook his head and said:

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be angry. It's better to have someone by your side when you die than to die alone."

"Tch~ I don't believe it. You dream of seeking immortality, and you will definitely be mad to death..."

Jiang Yi seemed to have thought of something when she said this. She hesitated for a moment and looked at Zuo Lingquan again:

"It is very difficult to cultivate the path of cultivation. I may not be able to live for hundreds of years. If one day, you are lucky enough to cultivate the path of cultivation, and I am still a little princess in the mortal world, and my life span is only sixty years, what will you do?"

Jiang Yi obviously did not ask casually, and secretly paid attention to Zuo Lingquan's expression.

Zuo Lingquan's answer was not hesitant at all:

"Walking in front of the princess, and then saying 'You will be buried soon, and I still have to live for hundreds of years, alas ~ It's really worrying to death'..."

Pah——

Jiang Yi slammed the tea table and took a deep breath, almost pushing open the cloth buttons of her clothes, which was frightening.

She stared at Zuo Lingquan and wanted to say 'You are ruthless and heartless', but Zuo Lingquan's words were her original words just now.

Jiang Yi held back for a long time, but still suppressed her anger, and said coldly:

"Okay, let's see who lives longer and who can outlive the other first."

This should also be considered a disguised form of 'promising to grow old together'. Zuo Lingquan did not refuse this competition that would inevitably be very long, and nodded with a smile.

The two chatted aimlessly for a long time. Wu Qingwan came back from outside. Seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye to Jiang Yi.

Zuo Lingquan also got up and left. Returning to the capital, it was impossible not to go to the third uncle's house, so he did not return with Wu Qingwan, and walked out of the imperial city with the palace maid.

Jiang Yi watched the white crane fly away. After the two left, he turned back to the tea pavilion and looked at the tea table.

"You are very active in showing your courtesy. I thought you really didn't want to be my son-in-law, hum..."

Jiang Yi walked to the tea table leisurely, picked up the wooden box and took a look at it. After opening it, he took out the small pendant inside.

The pendant was carved from green bamboo from Qihuang Valley and polished very smoothly. The shape was just an ordinary oval, and there was not much to note.

"The craftsmanship is OK."

Jiang Yi stroked the pendant with her fingertips and nodded slightly. She found something carved on one side, so she turned it over and took a look. On the small pendant, there was a micro-carved picture, which was very delicate. The scene was the alley where the two met for the first time, and it was also the starting point that changed the trajectory of their lives.

In the picture, a handsome man in a long robe leaned against the wall with a scabbard in his hand; the woman lay on the man's legs, with a perfect lower body curve...

"Huh??"

Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and her eyes were full of astonishment, and she was stunned on the spot.

Papapapa——

The picture seemed to have a sound, and the burning feeling came back.

The unbearable memories and humiliation of the past surged into my heart.

“Do you accept it or not…”

“I…I…”

“This bastard! I…I can’t kill you! Zuo, come back here!”

Jiang Yi’s face flushed, her chest was about to explode with anger, she rolled up the sleeves of her palace skirt, held the pendant and looked around, as if looking for a handy weapon, but forgot that the culprit had already left the palace city…
