The Moon in the Qin Dynasty
Chapter 774: The Capital of Gods on the Tip of the Tongue!
Chapter 774: The Capital of Gods on the Tip of the Tongue! (Please give me a monthly pass at the end of the month~)
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said “hmm” in pretended displeasure. His deep nasal tone carried the unique pressure of an emperor.
Seeing this, Jingwei’s almond eyes curved into crescents, a flattering smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and her delicate face was full of cuteness: “Thank you, brother-in-law!”
The girl’s sweet voice was like the singing of an oriole. Ying Zheng’s tense face softened instantly, and a doting curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
Ying Zheng looked towards the misty palace in the distance, and continued with a somewhat tender voice: “Your sister misses you too. When I was with her, I often talked about you. You should spend more time with your sister.”
Then he sighed, “Alas, I also want to spend more time with your sister, but I am responsible for the people of the world and busy with government affairs, so I dare not slack off. Fortunately, Yaoer knows me and understands me, and never complains. But every time I think of it, my heart is filled with guilt.”
“I can only try to find time to visit her again. Alas, the world may have its limits, but my longing for her is endless. It’s a pity that things in the world can never go as we wish. Alas, I only regret that we can’t stay together forever.”
Jingwei still couldn’t understand the feeling of missing someone. To her, it seemed like a long time.
It’s only been a few months, it passed in the blink of an eye. I don’t understand why two people are like this after just a few months of not seeing each other?
My sister is even more so. All she thinks about and says is my brother-in-law. If it weren’t for her sister’s spirit acting in her original form, I would have thought that her soul had followed her brother-in-law.
Jingwei replied in a brisk tone: “The capital of the gods is not too far from Wushan. It is very fast to fly there. Your Majesty, brother-in-law, don’t be sad.”
Ying Zheng smiled and didn’t mention it. He changed the subject and asked, “Girl, did you come back to the Central Plains on your own this time?”
Jingwei shook her little head gently, for she was afraid of dropping the mung bean cake in her mouth.
“Brother-in-law, the girl returned to Shenzhou with her sisters Wanyan and Yun.”
“After returning, we traveled for a while until we arrived at Wushan to meet my sister. Nvwa stayed with her the whole time. Sister Wanyan and Sister Yun also traveled for a while. When they came back, they took me with them, saying they wanted to visit my brother-in-law.”
Ying Zheng nodded, knowing what was going on. “Girl, why did you come this time? Did your sister ask you to bring any letters?”
Jingwei then remembered to talk about the business, and hurriedly put down the snack in her hand, the crumbs of the snack stuck to her pink fingertips. She blinked her big, lively eyes and said seriously: “Brother-in-law, Your Majesty, the girl was just about to say it.”
“Nuwa is here this time on the orders of the Queen Mother of the West to inform Your Majesty that the Queen Mother of the West will come to visit Your Majesty in person in three days, together with the Lady of the Nine Heavens. The letter that Sister wants to deliver is in Sister Wanyan’s hands.”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was shocked, but his face remained calm. He lowered his eyes and thought, although this was unexpected, it was also reasonable.
This is a good thing. Sometimes it is easier to conquer the person you want to conquer if he or she appears with your best friend.
And since Nvwa has already gone to see Yao’er, then Queen Mother of the West and Xuannv must have met them as well.
Just now the girl said that she had been accompanying Yao’er for nearly two months, which means that when Xuannv performed miracles at Mount Huashan some time ago, she had already seen Yao’er.
Since he had met Yao Ji, went to Mount Hua, and performed miracles, and now came to the capital of gods to see him, this meant…
He was secretly delighted in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he asked seriously: “Is that so?”
“It is my great honor to have the Holy Lady of the Jade Pool here. I wonder where the Holy Lady of the Jade Pool is now? I will go and greet her in person.”
Jingwei blinked, a little embarrassed, her eyelashes trembling slightly: “Um, this, this, brother-in-law, this is not confirmed yet.”
Ying Zheng was not angry, but smiled gently: “Is it in the Divine Capital City or somewhere else?”
“This, um, that…” Jingwei lowered her head and twirled the sash of her palace skirt with her index fingers.
Ying Zheng understood, it seems that he has already entered the city, but he has not prepared anything, it is quite casual, so.
I will take the initiative!
Ying Zheng smiled at the somewhat embarrassed Jingwei and said in a gentle voice, “I guess Yuan Jun has important business to attend to and is touring the four directions. In that case, let me arrange the reception.”
At this time, Queen Mother of the West, who had just ordered another tube of drink, was looking up and drinking the tube of sweet drink. It was made from fresh citrus juice and milk, and the sweet aroma lingered around her nose.
This was the fifth drink she had tasted today. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her nose was slightly upturned, and her brows were full of satisfaction.
The Queen Mother of the West sat by the window in a relaxed manner, with an elegant posture. She was picking up a piece of plum blossom cake with an ivory fork and savoring it in small bites, with a look of leisure between her brows.
The two of them are now in the largest teahouse box in Shendu, admiring the bustling Shendu from the window. The table is filled with various snacks, desserts, and drinks, and they are feeling extremely comfortable now.
After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Jingwei did not dare to agree directly, and asked in a low voice: “I wonder how my brother-in-law will arrange it?”
Ying Zheng smiled and said, “As a Yuan Jun, how can I neglect you?”
“Three days from now, at noon, I will be at the Weishui Heaven Altar, waiting for the two Yuan Lords to arrive. The two Yuan Lords do not need to worry about anything, just leave everything to me.”
Jingwei thought about it and decided that she had to come anyway, and her brother-in-law was such a good person, so she might as well let him make the arrangements.
She smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll trouble you with everything. I’ll go back and tell Sister Wanyan. If there’s no objection, I’ll follow your arrangements. If there’s any change, I’ll come back in advance to discuss it with you.”
Ying Zheng nodded and said with a doting smile: “Okay.”
Seeing Jingwei reluctantly leaving, Ying Zheng continued, “It’s still early today, girl, don’t worry. Today is the first time I meet you, so please let me treat you well.” “I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare meals. I haven’t been to Shenzhou for hundreds of years, so it’s time to try some new dishes and see how they are different from hundreds of years ago.”
Jingwei swallowed hard, with a conflicting thought in her mind. Finally, she decided to eat her meal before leaving.
My brother-in-law is so enthusiastic, how can I refuse him?
Besides, now that we are here, we must eat before leaving.
After working so hard all day, you can’t go back hungry, right?
Jingwei chuckled, revealing an extremely cute and well-behaved smile, and said to Ying Zheng sweetly, “Brother-in-law is so kind, how can a girl refuse? Then I will trouble you, brother-in-law.”
Ying Zheng laughed heartily, and said dotingly, “Why are you being so polite? You have helped me a lot and have done me a great service. I can’t thank you enough. What does this mean?”
“From now on, the palace is your home. You can come anytime and tell me what you want.”
Jingwei knew what Ying Zheng said, and she really didn’t care at this moment. My sister-in-law is pretty good.
We are all family anyway, so it’s no big deal to use the name of our family.
Jingwei smiled sweetly and stopped being polite. She ate the table full of delicious food with her chopsticks flying.
At this moment, she didn’t remember anything else. She was just immersed in the feast of delicious food and temporarily forgot about Queen Mother of the West and Xuannv.
In fact, it is no wonder that Queen Mother of the West, Jingwei and Xuannv love human food so much. Times have changed. In the past, people just wanted to be full, not delicious.
Even though princes and nobles had a wider variety of food, it was still limited by development and the times, and it was incomparable to today.
The Queen Mother of the West and Xuannv no longer need to eat worldly food. In the past, they ate the fairy fruits that they grew themselves.
In the past, the vitality of heaven and earth was sufficient, so even if they were in seclusion or sleeping, they could set up a barrier to allow their spiritual roots to grow freely.
However, they have been sleeping for nearly a thousand years, and there is not enough spiritual energy for the growth of their spiritual roots. The growth of their spiritual roots has become outrageously slow.
In addition, the environment in Kunlun Mountain is already harsh. Once the environment created by God is lost, what else can there be? It is difficult for ordinary things to survive.
For nearly a thousand years, every time the Queen Mother of the West and Jingwei woke up, the Queen Mother of the West would plant a peach pit and then use her divine power to water it to ripen it. This kind of peach is definitely more delicious than ordinary fruits and vegetables, but no one can bear to eat it every day.
Now Jingwei feels like vomiting when she sees peaches.
Queen Mother of the West was better. She planted peaches for Jingwei to eat, and Jingwei was greedy. She herself had long been tired of eating peaches. As for Xuannu, she ate whatever she wanted.
The most greedy one was Jingwei, but she searched all over Kunlun and found not many edible things, and most of them were not tasty.
In the past three to five hundred years, I have traveled to China twice, and I have discovered that the food here is getting more and more delicious, and each time it’s better than the last.
Especially this time, I discovered that there are more delicious foods and drinks in the world!
What was even more special was the delicious food in the capital, as well as the various drinks, fruits, vegetables, and cakes in the palace, which truly opened Jingwei’s eyes.
The Queen Mother of the West was the same. She was really amazed by the life in the capital of gods and experienced it with great interest. It was much better than Kunlun, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years!
The world today is really peaceful and prosperous, I like it!
She drank another tube of fruit tea.
She really drank too much today. Fortunately, she is not a human, otherwise she would have had problems with eating and drinking like this.
By the time Jingwei left Taiji Palace, it was already night. She ate to her satisfaction and then flew away leisurely.
The imperial cuisine in the palace really broadened her horizons. She had never eaten as much delicious food as she had today in the previous four thousand years combined.
Jingwei felt that the trip today was worthwhile and had a great impression of Ying Zheng! What a good brother-in-law!
On the way back, I was still savoring the taste of the imperial meal.
Ying Zheng looked at Jingwei flying slowly away, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.
A greedy little girl is too easy to deal with. Now that all the hidden dangers have been solved, the next step is to contribute to the Qin Dynasty.
Yao Ji repeatedly instructed Jingwei to be obedient.
Although Jingwei is a little playful, she still listens to her sister and knows how to handle things. After all, with her background, experience, and status, she can’t be the kind of willful and stupid person.
Ying Zheng looked at the moonlight and thought of Yao Ji again. His heart was burning with joy. That gentle and beautiful woman in Wushan, who was as graceful as the flowing clouds and autumn water, really thought of him wholeheartedly.
Well, give her a surprise today.
