"Yuan'er, how can you be so naughty? You really, you really scared my mother to death! It's my fault, I shouldn't leave you alone in the palace."
Concubine Shu choked up as she spoke these words, falling into repentance and memories of her past nightmares.
The pity in Emperor Xie's eyes was undisguised: "Ayu, I'm right, Yuan'er is fine, you don't have to blame yourself too much."
No one in Shuyang Palace noticed that Miss Zhu Sun, who was sitting on the stroller beside her, was sitting there quietly. Her eyes at the moment were staring at Xie Yuan on the couch.
And in Xie Yuan's eyes, there was a confusion that only Zhu Ruiying could understand.
Since your identity is so special, I will make this choice for you and let you be a normal child in the world.
Wouldn't it be a better choice to forget all about the past, let yourself go, and not cause unnecessary trouble to others?
Wu Ersha was already doubting life. He and Xiang Shanda galloped wildly on a vast grassland. This was the only way to go to Kanggu, the central tribe of Xiyu clan.
Yes, it was the only way to go. However, on this grassland, he did not see even half a shadow of Zhu He!
On the way, they stopped to rest at the home of Xiyu's people. Wu Ersha walked away and tried to call out "Blessing He".
"military adviser."
The confusion in Wu Ersha's heart reached its peak. The grassland just now was a long way away, and Zhu He couldn't hide at all. But when he looked around, there was no one at all.
"Where are you?"
"I've been following the military advisor."
Zhu He's answer made Wu Ersha fall into silence.
This man's inscrutability always surprises him every time.
How on earth did she manage to hide in a vast, flat terrain without a single home?
"Miss Zhu, are you just going to avoid seeing me like this?"
"It doesn't matter if you see me or not, my sincerity has never changed."
Wu Ersha: "When you arrive in Kanggu and meet our leader, you don't plan to show your true colors?"
"I hope the military advisor can understand my difficulties."
Zhu Ruiying also wanted to be able to transform into a human form, but her current divine power could not support such a change at all. Instead of transforming into a human form in front of them, leaving behind the hidden danger of disappearing suddenly while chatting with Wu Ersha and the others. It's better not to show up.
Wu Ersha had said everything, but still couldn't get Zhu He to show up. He didn't know what to think for a while.
"I hope I can be lucky enough to see Miss Zhu's true appearance in my lifetime."
"There will be a day, but maybe it will happen later when I need to ask for help. I hope that the military advisor will remember today's cooperation and lend a helping hand."
The implication is, don’t even think about it in the past two years.
Wu Er was hoarse and knew that Zhu He would indeed not show up now.
"That's fine, but Miss Zhu's behavior may make our leader doubt your sincerity."
"The real beneficiary of this matter is not me. I think we will let the leader understand the benefits of surrender."
Wu Ersha smiled and said nothing. Compared with the interests, there are some concepts that are difficult to change, which is also the difficulty of this matter.
Even if he didn't say it, Zhu Ruiying understood it, but she was already prepared, so no matter what difficulties she would face in the future, she would be fearless.
During the two days of traveling, her conversation with Wu Ersha was just to tell her that she was still following Wu Ersha and had not lost her. The rest of the time she spent meditating in the sea of consciousness and sleeping. It was almost the Chinese New Year, so she I haven't been taken into the palace for a few days, and my life has been much more comfortable.
Wu Ersha and Xiang Shanda arrived at Kanggu, the tribal center, on the day before the New Year.
Kanggu's people had already gathered together and were waiting for them to come back. There should be their leader here, one of the first few people. Zhu Ruiying's eyes turned back and forth on them, and she used her own experience to start analyzing who the leader was.
Wu Ersha and Xiang Shanda dismounted and knelt down together to salute: "Xiang Shanda, Wu Ersha, I have seen the leader."
There were three people standing in front, two men and one woman, two men, one older and one too young. Zhu Ruiying guessed that the leader was the older one.
Zhu Ruiying believed in her own judgment, but this time, her judgment was wrong.
Zhu Ruiying crossed her arms, and her eyes widened the next second.
The woman among the three people came out and helped the two of them up.
"Thank you for your hard work. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you two."
Wu Ersha and Xiang Shanda looked at each other and smiled, and said at the same time: "Thank you, chief."
Zhu Ruiying was very surprised. The leader of the Xiyu tribe was actually a woman?
Zhu Ruiying observed the leader. She was about 20 years old, with a beautiful face, bright eyes, and a heroic look in her movements. Just standing there would give people a sense of oppression from a superior.
Saying that she is the leader does not make people think that she is not worthy of the position.
The reason why Zhu Ruiying was the first to exclude her was because she was a woman.
"What do you have to thank you for? It's our turn to thank you! You deserve all the credit!" A strong voice suddenly came from the crowd, making the whole atmosphere lively in an instant.
"That's right! You are the heroes of our tribe!"
Everyone was laughing and talking, and the leader led them inside.
Until they were far away, Zhu Ruiying still stood there in deep thought.
That was a question she had never thought about in her thousand years of life.
Yes, why can't women be leaders?
At this moment, a new concept was slowly sprouting in Zhu Ruiying's heart.
The main tribe of the Xiyu clan is very lively. The bonfire party seems to be going on endlessly, and everyone seems to be tireless.
Zhu Ruiying left at the end of the day and came at the end of Haishi. The lively sound of the Xiyu tribe never stopped.
But in this bonfire party, she didn't find Wu Ersha and the leader.
Zhu Ruiying followed Wu Ersha's breath and came to a tree.
This tree is so beautiful, Zhu Ruiying sighed, the branches were decorated with snowflakes, as if the branches were full of snowflakes.
While Zhu Ruiying was admiring the beautiful scenery, she glanced inadvertently and was stunned.
Under another snowflake tree not far away, aren't the two people hugging each other Wu Ersha and the leader?
The two were kissing passionately.
"The last time I came back was half a year ago," the man said in a low voice, panting slightly, "Did the leader miss me?"
Zhu Ruiying: "..."
Sorry, she'll come back later.
Zhu Ruiying returned to the sea of consciousness. She was shocked twice in the Xiyu tribe today.
Recalling how she had written in order to win over Wu Ersha that she could help him get rid of their leader and put him in power, the man was furious, and she suddenly understood.
Damn it, she flooded the Dragon King Temple, and in order to please him, she said such nonsense as helping him kill his own woman.
When she just left, she glanced at Wu Ersha's face. Even though she had never tasted what love was, she could still clearly feel the deep affection in Wu Ersha's eyes.
No wonder he was so angry at the time.
Zhu Ruiying suddenly smiled. If that was the case, wouldn't it be easy for Wu Ersha to convince this leader?
Zhu Ruiying's consciousness left the sea of consciousness and fell asleep peacefully. The problem in her heart did not seem to be difficult now, and she had a good sleep again.
The next day is the New Year. Speaking of which, this is Zhu Ruiying's first time celebrating the New Year in the human world.
In fact, she can't quite explain what kind of character she is. There are rumors in the Nine Heavens that goddess women are cold and don't like noisy, so her goddess palace is always deserted, no matter how many people there are or how few people there are. She could rarely hear voices, and she was never asked to go to those lively feasts in Jiuchongtian. Her non-attendance was a special kind of permission, and everyone respected her by not disturbing her.
But only she knew that every time during the Divine Festival, when she was in the cold Goddess Palace, looking at the lively scene in the main hall, she would always feel a little envious in her heart.
But if she was really asked to join in, she couldn't do it. Sometimes when she thought about it, she felt a little conflicted.
But after she became a human, this contradiction seemed to disappear.
The Zhu family's Yaobao was very excited on the first day of the new year and was very curious about everything. When firecrackers were set off outside, she would climb to the window lattice and look out, which made Mrs. Shen have to ask her maid to watch when she posted the couplets. A little baby who is usually well-behaved and now happy.
"Yao Bao knows that the Chinese New Year is coming, so he is happy."
Mrs. Xu came over and stuffed a red lucky bag into Yao Bao's pocket.
Yao Bao looked at his aunt in confusion: "Something?"
"This is the new year's money for Yaobao."
money? Yao Bao's eyes lit up, and he was already planning to throw it into the consciousness sea space.
Mrs. Xu saw what she was thinking and patiently explained to her: "This is not real money, it is money that wins. It means peace and blessings. You should keep the treasure well, you know?"
Yao Bao blinked, still not understanding. The old lady picked up Yao Bao and let her sit on her lap. This year is the New Year, and Mrs. Shen dressed Yao Bao in red, making her festive and cute.
"Come, let grandma tell you the story of Nian. Grandma has told Yao Bao so many folk tales and fairy tales, but she hasn't told Yao Bao this yet."
Yao Bao listened attentively to the old lady's story. Her grandmother would tell many stories. Some of the stories were not very different from the real situation, and some were just pure fiction. However, she still liked to listen. What her grandmother told was very interesting.
Zhu Jiahuan ran over, holding the candy man in his hand, and handed it to Yao Bao's mouth: "Sister, eat candy!"
Mrs. Xu: "Hey, Huan'er, my sister is still young."
As soon as Xu finished speaking, Yao Bao opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue and took a lick. The next second, Yao Bao's eyes lit up visibly.
Zhu Jiahuan was afraid of being beaten, so he jumped away with the candy man, giggling: "I just said my sister likes it!"
Mrs. Xu couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that no matter what kind of children they were, they all liked to eat sweets, and their very capable Yaobao was no exception.
