Chapter Thirteen Just For You
Today is King Ji Xian's birthday party. Early in the morning, the exquisite sedan chair stopped at the gate of the National Master's Mansion, and the guards and maids lined up to wait. Hua Ruoxi changed into a long lilac dress. The fine brocade was embroidered with exquisite flower decorations and black hair. She was tied up by a gorgeous hairpin, and was covered with pearls and jade. Hua Ruoxi was born with beautiful beauty, and with her careful dress, she became more and more beautiful and charming.
The banquet was set up in the main hall of the palace, with a wide range of fine wine and delicacies. All the princes and ministers had already attended the banquet, and Emperor Ji Ren raised his wine glass. "Today is the birthday of my son Ji Xian. I specially called him back to Jizhou to celebrate. This is a family banquet, so there is no need to be restricted."
The princes and ministers raised their glasses together. "Thank you Your Majesty."
Then the string music sounded, and several dancers came and danced.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Ji Rendi said to Ji Xian who was sitting aside: "Today is your birthday. You have never liked gold, silver and treasures. I know that you are not young now. Your mother is discussing with me and want to point out a marriage for you as a gift." Ji Rendi pointed to Hua Ruoxi, who was sitting behind Master Wu, and continued: "I have just met Master Wu's adopted daughter and your mother. They are both outstanding in virtue and appearance."
Master Wu stood up and said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded." Hua Ruoxi also stood up and saluted.
"She is well-educated and well-reasoned, and she is also a beauty. The queen thinks she is very worthy of you." Empress Wu smiled so hard that she couldn't stop and sat next to Emperor Ji Ren to agree that she was the sister of Master Wu's compatriots and sister. Although she was the queen, she had nothing to do. Therefore, she was not Ji Xian's biological mother. Emperor Ji Ren liked Ji Xian so much, and the future world must be his. She had no descendants and had no support in this palace. Naturally, she had to help her mother's family consolidate her status and recommend her own people to be the future queen.
"It's you." Ji Xian was surprised when he saw that the adopted daughter of Master Wu was Hua Ruoxi.
"It's better for you to know it. My father will give her to you as a princess. How do you think?"
Ji Xian walked out of the seat without any haste and kneeled down on one knee. "I have reported to my father, my son already has a sweetheart, and I want to ask my father for this reward today."
"Is that so? It's rare for you to come and ask for rewards." Emperor Ji Ren laughed happily when he heard this. "You have always been greedy for mountains and rivers and never focus on marriage. Which famous lady is you who can admire you? Tell me?"
"On this time, I was wandering all the way back to Jizhou. I met a girl while hunting in the mountains and forests. This woman was elegant and intelligent, and she played the piano with a good hand. My son thought she was a confidant in this life. She was like a piece of jade in this world, pure and natural. When I met by chance, my son never forgot about her."
"There is a woman who can make my son so moved. I really want to meet him." Emperor Ji Ren was very happy. "If my son really likes him, the father will definitely give you a marriage."
"The son-in-law painted her portrait and asked the father to read it."
As he said that, the two maids presented the scroll to Ji Xian. Ji Xian spread the scroll, and the picture shows the scene of Xue Yan playing the piano in a peach blossom forest. The painting is exquisite and vivid, and the sound of the piano seems to flow out of the scroll. Everyone was amazed after watching it.
The eyebrows in the painting are vivid and lifelike. Emperor Ji Ren couldn't help but ask: "There is such a woman in the world who is so eccentric? Is it the best painted by my prince, or is this woman really so beautiful?"
"She is more beautiful than what I painted."
"Do you know her name?"
Ji Xianrou's eyes chuckled: "Snow Yan."
When Hua Ruoxi heard this, she saw that the woman in the painting was her junior sister Xueyan. She didn't want to believe it but had to believe it, and muttered in a low voice. "How could it be her?"
"Where is her family? I'll get it back for you." Ji Xian was not interested in restraint by nature. Emperor Ji Ren repeatedly hinted that he wanted him to marry, but he refused. But he was the son of Emperor Ji Ren, who was the most beloved son, so it was hard to force him. Now that he has something to do, he is such a beautiful woman, Emperor Ji Ren, of course, has one hundred promises.
"I met her in Bihua Mountain outside Yao Town."
"Then send someone to Yao Town and search for this portrait door to door. No matter whose daughter she is, she is the wise princess of my country." Ji Rendi said loudly.
"Back to my father, Xueyan does not fall into the mortal world, she lives in the mountains and forests, and does not live in Yao Town." Ji Xian bowed.
"Living in the forest?" Ji Rendi was a little surprised. How could such a seemingly delicate woman live in the wilderness?
Master Wu quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a treasure on Bihua Mountain called Meizhu. It is a result of the long-term cultivation of the spirit beasts in the mountains and forests. If you can get it, you can live forever and never invade all diseases. It is better to find it together and establish a successor to worship it, so as to ensure that our country will be prosperous forever."
When Emperor Ji Ren heard this, he nodded. "In this way, good things will be in pairs."
"Your Majesty is owned by the spirit beasts in the mountains and wild, not ordinary things, and you can get it. The stability of the spirit beasts in the mountains and wild can protect the peace of the people. The spirit beasts in the mountains and wilds usually live in groups. If you force it to get it, it will cause disasters. "A young man with delicate facial features and high temperament stood up. His name is Ye Feng, which is Xueyan's senior brother. Seeing the painting, he knew that the woman was the younger sister Xueyan. Before he went to the mortal world, he stared at the edge of the sky pond all day long. How could he not recognize it? It has been two years since he was in the world. He was ordered by heaven to stop the conspiracy of the ghost clan and maintain the normal operation of the fate of the country on earth. However, he lost his immortal power and was just an ordinary person. He searched for Xueyan for many years but was unable to find Xueyan. Now he finally knew Xueyan's whereabouts.
"General Ye, what do you mean is a beast in the mountains and wilderness? We can't mess with it?" Master Wu seized the opportunity and provoked Ye Feng.
"I don't mean this." Ye Feng bowed and continued to dissuade him: "The way of heaven is circulating, and there will be gains and losses. If you force something that is not yours, it will not only not protect our country, but will instead cause disaster."
"Bold Ye Feng, you actually said such a ruthless thing!" Master Wu stood up and furious, preparing to take advantage of the topic and learn from Ye Feng's book.
"I am not a ruthless person, but a loyal speech. Please think twice." Ye Feng's words were sincere.
"All treasures in the world belong to the emperor. How can you not get a small beautiful bead?" Wu Guoshi bowed and asked. "Report to the emperor, the old minister asked for an order and went to Yao Town to find Miss Xueyan and Meizhu."
Ji Xian rarely wants to get married, so Emperor Ji Ren cannot let him go, but Ye Feng has always been steady and deeply trusted by Emperor Ji Ren. Emperor Ji Ren will still consider what he said.
It was seen that Emperor Ji Ren was hesitating and knew that he favored Ji Xian and had to go on this trip. Instead of asking Master Wu to find Xue Yan and bring Xue Yan back, he would rather ask for an order to go. He should protect Xue Yan first. She is pure by nature and must not let her be involved in any struggle between right and wrong.
"The national teacher has a high position and is not easy to leave the court." Ye Feng immediately asked for an order. If Master Wu finds Xueyan, Xueyan will be in danger. His methods are so vicious that he will inevitably turn the world upside down. Thinking of this, Ye Feng walked out of the seat and leaned over and bowed. "I ask for orders to go."
Master Wu was secretly calculating his own plan in his heart. How could he be willing to let Ye Feng find Xueyan and hinder his plan. "General Ye is the leading commander in the court, and the Liang Kingdom in the northwest tried to invade our borders many times, and was eyeing our country's territory. He sent a general to find a little girl. Is it useless to use his talents?"
Although Ye Feng had lost his immortal power in order to seal the fire glaze, after all, his kung fu foundation was still outstanding in martial arts. He became a general in Ji State and made many outstanding achievements. In just two years, he helped Emperor Ji Ren pacify all directions, brave and good at fighting, and had a great reputation in the army. His border towns and neighboring countries were afraid of him and surrendered to Ji State, not daring to have any other intentions.
Ye Feng and Tianjie volunteered to go to the world to investigate the conspiracy of the ghost clan and prevent them from disturbing the fate of the world. In fact, it was even more important to find Xue Yan. When he learned that the Wu Guoshi practiced witchcraft, used his own selfishness to plunder the people, and had the ambition to seek power and usurp the throne, he had to go deep into the court to compete with him. Moreover, the witchcraft originated from the ghost clan in the world. Ye Feng suspected that the Wu Guoshi had some connection with the ghost clan, and the ghost clan also used him as a puppet to disrupt the normal operation of the fate of the human country.
Master Wu has always been rebellious and naturally regards Ye Feng as a major concern. He wants to get rid of it quickly. Ye Feng originally wanted to find Xueyan, but Master Wu forced him step by step, so he delayed Xueyan's affairs for a while. Now that he knows her whereabouts, he must go to find her.
Ye Feng asked again. "The troops stationed in Hezhou are all elite, and the food and grass are abundant. Liang State dare not act rashly. Besides, Yao Town is located in the northwest, similar to Hezhou and is adjacent to the border of Liang State. If Liang State dares to invade, I will lead troops to Hezhou to support him." This time, everything is for her when I came to the world. I finally knew Xueyan's whereabouts, how could he let him go? He and Wu State Master have long been incompatible and must not involve Xueyan.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Emperor Ji Ren knew Ye Feng's ability, so he naturally liked him.
"I received the order." Ye Feng clasped his fists. "Please rest assured that the emperor has a way of heaven. I will never allow evil people to invade the right way and make the people in the world live in poverty!"
Master Wu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Feng, and he was secretly ruthless in his heart. He could understand what Ye Feng said. With Ye Feng there, he could only think about it. He must get rid of Ye Feng, so that the world can be his!
"My mother looks at Miss Ruoxi, too. You have already become familiar with her. I guess she has known her before. It's better to marry her first and then slowly find your sweetheart!" Queen Wu smiled. "You are not young anymore. The mansion should have three wives and four concubines. If you have more people to take care of you, I and your father will be at ease."
"Thank you for your kindness, my mother." Ji Xian leaned over and saluted. "My son has long been in love. It is enough to be accompanied by someone I love for the rest of my life. My son doesn't want to be wronged Miss Ruoxi, please forgive me."
"Fellowship can be cultivated slowly. Isn't you just a meeting with Xueyan? Miss Ruoxi is no worse than your sweetheart. She is talented and has a prominent background. She is the best in the entire Ji Kingdom. When you find Xueyan, you will be included in the mansion with her and be named a concubine. After that, you will like anyone you like, or whoever has a son and a half daughter, you can be promoted to the official concubine again." Empress Wu continued to fight for it.
"Xueyan's mind is pure, and her son has a special liking for her. She just wants to marry her with a formal marriage and give her the truest feelings in this world."
"this……"
"My son only misses her, please help me!" Ji Xian bowed again.
The best of both worlds actually made a boring thing. Queen Wu's smile was stiff and her face looked a little ugly.
"This is not urgent. When you have any other people you like, I will make the decision for you and marry him." Emperor Ji Ren was only concerned about happiness and did not notice the queen's displeasure.
Hua Ruoxi has always been arrogant and arrogant. What is not as good as Xue Yan at all? Now that she is rejected by her beloved person like this is a shame and humiliation! But she is a cultivator, how could she be jealous? She clenched her fists secretly and comforted herself silently. Love should be yourselves, and this is not Xue Yan’s fault.
Master Wu sat down, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he quietly called his confidant who was standing beside him and whispered with his ears. "Contact our people in the court and do their best to prevent Ye Feng from finding that woman. If he is asked to find him, you can only ask!"
The head nodded and led the order, and Master Wu whispered again. "In case, just in case, Xu'er asked to bring a few skilled and quick horses and set off immediately. He arrived at Yao Town before noon and went up the mountain early tomorrow morning. No delay. When he saw the woman in the painting, he would be killed without mercy."
Master Wu originally thought that Hua Ruoxi was beautiful and had been in and out of King Ji's mansion many times. This time, he would definitely be favored by King Ji Xian and become Princess Ji, so that he could go further away from him by achieving his ambitions. Unexpectedly, Ji Xian had already cared about others. Now that the emperor sent Ye Feng to find Xue Yan, he naturally could not let Ye Feng succeed. He would have to take the lead and get rid of Xue Yan's obstacle.
After the banquet, Hua Ruoxi came to the General's Mansion.
"Senior brother, now the whereabouts of the junior sister are gone, are you happy?" Hua Ruoxi said softly.
"Well, have you found the person who has obtained the Supreme Spirit?" Ye Feng asked lightly.
"No, but I've seen Xueyan."
"Is she so good?" Ye Feng raised his head when he heard this.
"Yeah." Hua Ruoxi nodded. "I met her in Yao Town."
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief silently. "I finally found her."
"Senior Brother, you have lost your immortal power, but you must not reveal your identity." Hua Ruoxi dissuaded. "Now there are people from the Demon Realm everywhere in the world, so why not let me find her." She didn't want Xueyan to be found, and she didn't want Xueyan to marry Ji Xian. For a moment, she even hoped that Xueyan would disappear from the Three Realms, at least far away from Ji Xian!
"I'd better go find her." Ye Feng raised his head. "I'm going to see her."
"Do you really want to bring her back? Let her marry the king of the world?" Hua Ruoxi asked.
"How is that possible? I won't let him get involved in the right and wrong in the world. I just hope she lives happily." Ye Feng turned out the window. "I won't bring her back, don't worry."
"I know, you just want to protect her." Hua Ruoxi looked serious, but she was a little jealous in her words. She knew how Ye Feng could get Xue Yan into danger, but she still came to confirm it stupidly. She was unwilling to give up. Why did Xue Yan attract people to be cared for? Senior brother Ye Feng cared about her, and Ji Xian even claimed in public that she belonged to her. She was originally just an abandoned baby in the world, why should she?
"The people from the Demon Realm have come to the world. I don't want her to encounter any danger." Ye Feng replied lightly, his eyes were chaotic. He wanted to see Xueyan. He couldn't wait to find her for three thousand years.
"The senior brother came to the world desperately because he was afraid that Xue Yan was the most kind spirit, right?" Hua Ruoxi smiled slightly. "I heard from the master that the most kind spirit is integrated with, that person will become the seal of the most evil soul, the cold sky, and at the same time have an ominous future. This is the curse of the most kind spirit by the demon world. You don't want Xue Yan to become the most kind spirit, right?"
Ye Feng did not answer, so he was considered a default.
"The intention of heaven to demote her to a monster is to not want the spirit of the best to choose her." A slight jealousy appeared in Hua Ruoxi's eyes. "The spirit of the best to be the purest soul of heaven, and it is impossible to merge with the soul of a monster. Just worrying so impossible, the senior brother is still willing to give up his former asceticism for her and come to the human world to protect her. Sometimes I really envy her."
"I just don't want her to stay alone in this world." Ye Feng said quietly.
"Is this really the case?" Hua Ruoxi asked in a low voice.
"My junior sister has also come to this rich and rich world now, so it's better not to forget the important things." Ye Feng reminded kindly. "My master of the witch practices witchcraft. Even as a human being, it seems to have nothing to do with the ghost clan. In the end, he will fall into the devil's path. As an immortal in the heavenly world, it's better not to join such people."
"I...I just want to use his power to help me find the Supreme Spirit." Hua Ruoxi felt guilty and hurriedly defended.
"Do you use it?" Ye Feng whispered to himself. "Using others to get shortcuts is the beginning of a nightmare. There is a saying in the world that intelligence is just mistaken by intelligence."
"So what if you take a shortcut? Only if Xueyan is as simple as her mind will she give up the opportunity to make meritorious service, be demoted from the world, and suffer for so many years."
"This is exactly why I will give up everything and be willing to protect her." Xueyan's optimism and kindness are the most beautiful sunshine in this world.
"Then... can you tell me the meaning of the words Master said before?" Hua Ruoxi asked.
Not long before leaving, Master Holy Spirit warned Hua Ruoxi that a journey to the world is also part of the experience of the immortals, so don’t be fascinated by this flower world.
Flowers Ruoxi's Taoist practice is shallow, and this is the first time I have come to the world, and I never know the meaning of this.
Ye Feng whispered: "You still need to understand this slowly." A faint sadness flowed through his eyes. Hua Ruoxi was also his junior sister. I hope she would not fall into the abyss of sin.
Seeing Hua Ruoxi leaving the door, Ye Feng spread out the scroll on the table and gently caressed the person in the painting. The person he had missed for three thousand years, how is it now?
Ye Feng slapped ink and wrote a line of small words in the lower right corner:
‘Three thousand years of longing for love is as deep as the sea, I come only for you in this life.’
On the carriage when she returned home, Hua Ruoxi remembered the portrait Ji Xian took out during the meal, and also remembered that she was both junior sisters. Ye Feng only had Xueyan in his eyes all day long, but he ignored her and was secretly unhappy.
"Xueyan, you are just an abandoned baby in the world. Where am I inferior to you?"
