Hong Zhu stepped forward and carefully opened the hot pot. The soup inside looked really refreshing. Not only that, it also had a sweet smell of flowers and plants.
Bai Mengzhu smiled slightly, raised the cup himself and handed it to Youying, saying, "Would you like to try it?"
Youying nodded, raised the cup and took a sip. The soup inside was indeed refreshing than what she drank yesterday, and the temperature was just right, so she drank half a cup in a row.
Meng Han looked at Bai Mengzhu and said: "The Queen Mother is so attentive. During breakfast, the princess said she had a bad appetite and only ate half a bowl of rice. Just now I ordered someone to make her some of her favorite snacks, but she just reluctantly Eat a piece! I was worried, so you brought her some food!"
Bai Mengzhu smiled slightly, then looked at Meng Han and said: "Pregnant people are like this. Sometimes they have a bad appetite, and sometimes they want to eat everything! Meng Han, you have to take care of her for me. If the princess feels any discomfort, she must Tell me, treat this place like a wild city, eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, no need to be restricted!"
Meng Han nodded. Bai Mengzhu was not an unreasonable person. Princess Youying was so lucky to have such a mother-in-law. Bai Mengzhu did not interfere with their usual living habits in Yedu.
She often said that they don’t have to follow the rules of Fox King City. They just do what they did when they were in Yedu. Therefore, even Meng Han feels that there is no restriction in living here, and he gradually regards Fox King City as his own. A home.
After Youying finished the soup, Cuiyu came forward with the fruit and said: "A few days ago, I found that princess, you prefer to eat sour fruits. This kind of wild thorn plum is a specialty of our Youli Mountain. It bears fruit in early spring. The fruit has a special sour taste, and pregnant women from the Fox tribe usually pick it to eat, so Hong Zhu and I went to Youli Mountain this morning to pick some for you. I hope you will have a better appetite after eating it!"
After Cuiyu finished speaking, she uncovered the green leaves covering the white porcelain plate. There was a pot of small blue-purple wild fruits underneath, which looked very attractive.
Bai Mengzhu looked at the wild thorn plum and said: "This wild thorn plum is very sour. I usually feel it is too sour when I eat it, but when I am pregnant, I feel it is just right. When I was pregnant with the boat, I ate everything from black plums to wild jujube cakes." I feel like eating it is not enough, so I like to eat this kind of wild thorn plum. In early spring, his father often orders people to go to the mountains to pick it for me! Although it is not a valuable fruit, it has a unique taste. You should try it!"
Youying nodded, took one and chewed it carefully. The sour taste instantly opened her taste buds, making her feel better.
Seeing that she had gained an appetite, Cuiyu handed her the rest of the fruit to eat. Her appetite obviously improved a lot, and she ate one piece after another.
Bai Mengzhu smiled slightly, and then said: "It seems that you also like the taste of this wild thorn plum!"
Youying nodded, then looked at Bai Mengzhu and said: "I have heard many love stories between the Queen Mother and the King Father, but I was afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry, so I never dared to ask. In fact, Youying is very curious about the story between you and the King Father... There are rumors from the outside world There are many versions, but I don’t know which one is true?”
In fact, the love story between Jun Gucheng and Bai Mengzhu has always been regarded as a taboo in Fox King City because of the intervention of human beings. Youying has heard many versions from others. Some even said that the Queen Mother did not love Jun Gucheng. Back then, Even want to kill him.
But now that she got along with her, she found that Bai Mengzhu was an extremely gentle and kind-hearted woman. She didn't believe that she would really go to assassinate the Fox King in Gucheng on her wedding night.
Even Jun Xingzhou himself didn't know the whole story. He only knew that his parents had loved him since he was a child and loved him. The rumors outside had nothing to do with them.
So Youying asked him about his father and queen, and he only said that they were very loving and that the rumors outside were all false.
So Princess Youying has always been curious about this matter, and Meng Han saw that the princess actually asked about the Queen Mother's taboo. I thought, Princess, princess, you are so confused! No matter how much the Queen Mother dotes on you, you shouldn’t ask these questions!
She looked very worried inside and looked at Bai Mengzhu uneasily.
But I saw that Bai Mengzhu was not angry. He just smiled and said to Youying: "It's not true, Youying, do you want to know the story about me and Xingzhou's father?"
Youying nodded, her eyes glowing, looking very energetic.
Bai Mengzhu smiled slightly, and then said: "These are old things, and they are also memories that belong to me and Gucheng. Originally, I didn't want others to share them. Even my own children only knew a little about it and didn't know the whole story. Now you are willing to Asking questions shows that my mother-in-law has done a pretty good job. You can finally reveal your heart to me and treat me as your relative. In this case, I might as well be a storyteller and tell you those old things. .”
"Really, Queen Mother, are you really willing to tell me?"
"Of course, you are my beloved Princess Youying. There are some things that even Xingzhou doesn't know!"
"That's great!"
Youying was very happy and took the initiative to hold Bai Mengzhu's hand. Bai Mengzhu took her hand and said, "Come, I will take you to a place, and then tell you the love story between me and Xingzhou's father!"
Bai Mengzhu took Youying to a secret room, and saw the stone door of the secret room slowly opening. Princess Youying felt that this place seemed familiar.
Youying looked around and said hurriedly: "Mother, here...isn't this the place where Xingzhou once brought me?"
Bai Mengzhu nodded and said: "Yes, this is the place where your father, the Wolf King, once suppressed the demonic bones!"
Youying thought about how she had ventured into Youli Mountain alone in order to get back her father's demon bones. With the help of Jun Xingxing, she got back her father's demon bones by mistake.
The past is blurry, and old things reappear.
…………
The top of Youli Mountain - Fox King City.
The night was miserable, with dark clouds surrounding the moon. A beautiful woman covered in black veil was quietly lurking in the grass. She had a long ponytail, and a few strands of slightly curly hair hanging from her forehead. Her eyes were like lightning, watching the people walking around. The guards passed by, found a momentary opening, and then flew into the Fox King's city.
She was strong and agile, like a wolf running wildly on the roof in the dark night. She tried her best to fit her body on the roof of the night, trying to blend in with the night. She stared at everything in the Fox King's city, sizing it up in her heart.
The woman who attacked at night was none other than Youying, the youngest daughter of the Wolf King. The Wolf Clan and the Fox Clan have always been at odds with each other. They were natural enemies. They have been fighting for thousands of years, and the dispute between them has never been extinguished.
And why did she come here this time?
It turns out that since Wolf King Youxuan was killed by the previous Fox King Jun Xuelou, the wolf clan has been caught in a dispute between two factions.
For Youying, Junxuelou is like a legendary myth. When she was young, she had not seen this legendary fox king with her own eyes. She only knew that he single-handedly calmed down the turmoil of the fox clan and killed others. Her father, Wolf King Youxuan, died.
After that, the situation of the wolf clan and the fox clan began to reverse. The wolf clan was completely expelled from Youli Mountain. Although her brother You Zang inherited the position of Wolf King, the faction headed by White Wolf King Yaren began to cause trouble. civil unrest.
The White Wolf King wants to establish himself as king. As a result, the new Wolf King You Zang is busy quelling the internal strife of the wolf clan and falls into the internal fighting of the wolf clan. The only way to change this situation is to start from Fox King City retrieves the demon bones of the old Wolf King.
The Wolf King's demon bone not only represents the wolf clan's supreme glory, but also represents powerful power. Only his brother Youzang inherits the power of the Wolf King's demon bone, can he calm everything down and become the true Wolf King.
In order to obtain the demon bones of the old Wolf King, the wolf clan came to Fox King City several times to sneak attack, but failed repeatedly. But this time, Youying is going to come in person to retrieve her father's demon bones for her brother.
It is said that the fox king Junxuelou who killed his father later fought with a thousand-faced demon fox and was injured by the thousand-faced demon fox, and disappeared after that.
The fox tribe has been looking for their fox king everywhere, but unfortunately for many years to no avail, the white fox queen finally had to let her daughter Bai Xingshuang inherit the position of fox king.
But Youying heard that the Fox King also had a younger son named Jun Xingzhou, who was the son of the White Fox Queen and the Fox King. However, the White Fox Queen allowed her daughter born from a human to inherit the position of the Fox King, and that Her and the Fox King's youngest son failed to inherit the throne.
This youngest son is like a mystery, because even among the fox clan, few people have seen him. Some people say that the White Fox Queen imprisoned him in order to prevent him from competing with his daughter for the title of Fox King. Bit.
What's more, it is said that this mysterious young son actually died in childhood.
It was rumored that the Wolf King Jun Gucheng and the White Fox Queen were not on good terms. Bai Mengzhu assassinated Jun Gucheng on the night of their wedding. Not only that, after giving birth to her son Jun Xuelou, she eloped with a human. Later, when the Fox King found her, She was already pregnant with the human child, who would later become Bai Xingshuang.
The White Fox Queen passed the title of Fox King to the half-demon Bai Xingshuang instead of the Fox King's youngest son. This shows that the rumors are true. The White Fox Queen was indeed at odds with the Fox King. Maybe she was responsible for the disappearance of her eldest son Jun Xuelou. planned.
It can be seen how cruel and ruthless this white fox queen is. It's no wonder that a woman who abandons her own flesh and blood and cuckolds her husband must be someone who can do anything.
In the dark night, Youying quickly shuttled on the roof of Fox King City. She was so agile and agile that the guards guarding the Fox King City were stunned not to notice anyone intruding.
She looked around for a place where the Wolf King's demonic bones could be hidden, but she found no place at all. When she was anxious, she came to a quiet residence. This empty residence was different from other places. Not only was there no guard , there wasn’t even a maid passing by.
It is surrounded by rockeries, gurgling water, bluegrass everywhere, and secluded bamboo forests.
When she was feeling strange, she was suddenly startled by the sound of a bamboo tube hitting the water behind her. Looking back, she saw a small waterwheel made of bamboo at the flowing water of the rockery. The small waterwheel was exquisite in style and was beaten by the flowing water. , making a pleasant sound of water.
I saw a man walking past the red corridor. He was slender, but he was wearing a lavender tulle gown. The lavender gauze gown covered the white robe, as if there was a layer of lavender lingering around it. of mist.
