Demon Emperor Qie Mang was a little surprised that this girl actually had plans for him.
"Can you tell me a little more about who you are meeting and where you are going?" Lida had something in mind and smiled.
"There is an old saying in Zhongzhou that you can't eat hot tofu if you are anxious. I'm not anxious. Why are you anxious!" Qie Mang heard some hidden meanings and joked with a smile,
"Seeing that you are so happy, are you going to see your sweetheart? Isn't this appropriate? You are the queen of my Demon Emperor!"
"Note, it's in name only. Besides, the person you're going to meet is not my sweetheart. If we meet, you can't talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be your queen!" Qie Mang was also helpless.
"I didn't expect that my majestic thousand-year-old demon king would be threatened by a little red ray like you, hey!" Lida comforted,
"I'm not a threat, I'm trying my best. I thought that being the Lord of Shifang City would be enough, but I didn't expect that the demons would have to worry about it. To be honest, the one who worries me the most is you, the Demon Emperor!"
"Me?" This was somewhat innocent, but quite interesting, and Qi Mang was quite willing to joke with her.
"Yes, you have been a demon king for thousands of years and sometimes you still act like a child! You still have to have someone to take care of you!" Qie Mang sneered and said, "Who cares?"
"I am the only one who dares to control you now!"
"Okay! You restored my demon god. Of course you have this right, but whether I listen to you or not depends on your performance!" Lida began to lose focus.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I want to change the name of this teahouse to Youying Teahouse. What do you think?" Qie Mang's face looked a little unnatural.
He always felt that what happened to Mrs. Han was all his own fault, and the more Lida showed he didn't care, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Since this is your convenient office, why did you choose such a name?" Lida took out some rice from the rice bucket and put it in the hanging pot, as if he wanted to cook.
"Then what do you think it should be called?" Qie Mang thought for a while and said, "How about calling it Bu Busy!"
"Not busy? It seems quite interesting, so that's it!" Qie Mang was a little happy, because the word "busy" seemed to have a little bit of his twist.
While Lida was cooking, Qie Mang went out. He decided to find a piece of wood and make a new sign for Bu Busy.
The tall Demon King Qie Mang walked on the streets of Shifang City like a star crossing the street. Demon clan members saluted and greeted him one after another, especially the elderly people who held his hand and did not want to let go. On both sides of the street, Many demon people knelt down.
In order to reduce the impact on the people in the city, he went into a street shop, bought a hood and veil, and also changed into a leather armor robe, and left the city smoothly.
Alai couldn't wait for Lida at the city lord's mansion, so he rushed to the teahouse, and sure enough, he was here.
"My Lord City Lord, why are you cooking here in the broad daylight? You don't care about the things in the city, do you?" Lida made a face and smiled: "Aren't you here? I'll simply make you deputy. City Lord!" Alai waved his hands repeatedly,
"No, no, no, don't hurt me. I've had enough of being a president! City Lord, I just saw His Majesty the Demon Emperor heading out of the city!"
"Let him alone, he is my boss, I can't control him!" Alai said softly: "City Lord, I heard that the other beast clan chiefs are now taking orders from the Demon King!" Lida was worried.
"The Demon Emperor is weak now, although he definitely wants to ascend to the throne! However, he is now afraid of the admiration of the Demon Clan for the Demon Emperor, and he does not dare to replace him for the time being, so we are safe for the time being. But there is not much time left for us! "
"City Lord, have you made any arrangements?" Lida said in Alai's ear: "I have to rely on the power of the immortal clan!"
"Fairy clan?"
"Yes, now I can't even trust my own brother, which demon can I trust?" Lida suddenly stared into Alai's eyes,
"Alai, you won't betray me, right?" Alai quickly knelt down and said, "Even if I fight alone, I, Alai, will defend the city lord to the death!" Lida smiled, lifted him up with one hand, and said, " Get up, who is kneeling in the kitchen! Help me go to the street to buy some side dishes, I will cook the rice, and you can eat here later!" Alai was happy. Since she was promoted to Shifangcheng by Lida The President of the Guardian Army has never eaten the food she cooked since taking over, and today is like a dream scenario coming true.
For the city lord, Alai admired and liked him, admired him even more, but his liking was buried deep in his heart. There are not many green side dishes of the demon clan, they are all purple, red, and blue. The colorful ones fried in an iron pot and served in a pottery bowl are particularly beautiful.
Qie Mang made a plaque out of tree trunks in the oasis. He carried it back and was accidentally recognized by someone. Dozens of demons had to help him move it back.
The Demon King came back and found that the dishes were on the table, and Lida and Alai were waiting in the yard. The people understood that the Demon Emperor wanted to eat here.
Someone shouted: "Everyone, please go back and bring your best dishes to His Majesty the Demon Emperor for a taste!" The Demon Emperor didn't even say no.
Lida smiled, came forward and pulled him to sit down at the table in the courtyard.
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, don't refuse the people's kindness to you. Just be respectful and obey my orders. By the way, you can also try the dishes I cook. You see, braised pork, flame kiln chicken, steamed tofu, cucumbers, braised chicken wings, water I learned how to cook fish from my sister Zhaolu from Baihua City. It’s my first time making it, so don’t scold me if it doesn’t taste good!” Qimang was very happy, and he couldn’t help but eat the first chopstick.
The braised pork is really delicious. Lida once possessed half of Zhaolu's heart and soul, and she already knew the cooking methods in detail.
"Ada, it's really delicious! You all sit down and eat!" The two of them stood aside, neither daring to sit down.
"Sit down! This is an order!" The dinner table between the three of them was always awkward, especially Alai, who didn't dare to speak.
"Ada, thank you for not giving up on me! But I hope that after eating this meal, you can go to Si Xian, express your feelings to him, and say that you are willing to surrender to him, so that you and the people of Shifang City can be together. Save your life! I will go back to my cave, and you will still be the Lord of Shifang City!" Lida threw his chopsticks down and said angrily,
"Qimang, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter how bad you are, he is not worthy of it! Heaven and earth have their own truth, and the good and the capable live in it. Look outside!" The Demon King turned around, and there were demon people standing outside the tea shop. , they were carrying pots and pans, various vegetables and fruits, even eggs, lamb legs, green onions, and some were holding large wine jars.
"This is the public sentiment of the world." The Demon Emperor was moved and stood up at the door of the teahouse.
"Brothers and sisters, thank you. We can't eat so much, so please take it all back. I accept your kindness!" Lida stood beside him and said loudly,
"Dear neighbors of Shifang City, do you support His Majesty the Demon Emperor?" Everyone at the door shouted in unison: "Support!" The warmth in Demon Emperor Qie Mang's heart was huge and in place.
Even the highest-ranking god of the demon clan still needs spiritual support sometimes. Qie Mang takes a symbolic bite from the people's bowls.
There was so much that he was almost full.
"Ada, Alai, you guys also come over and help me eat a little, don't eat too much, just order as much as you can!"
"Yes!" This is a harmonious picture that belongs to the demons themselves, full of human kindness and tenderness. The demon master gained great courage in a down-to-earth manner.
.........The scenery of Yunnan Yunnan is very beautiful, the blue sky is high, the white clouds are low, the fragrance of flowers is accompanied by the warm wind, and the birds and cats are dozing off.
A middle-aged woman with a stunning figure and a delicate appearance strolled into Mao'er City from the north gate. She was wearing a light blue linen dress with a white collar, a white belt around her waist, and a white gauze mask hanging on her face.
She is Qi Ping who has not been seen for a long time. Qi Ping could not leave quickly because she was pregnant with the child of the late Emperor Yin Beichuan.
There were a few masters in civilian clothes hiding in the crowd in the distance, always keeping a distance. After the death of the late Emperor Yin Beichuan, she became the Holy Mother of the Heavenly Palace.
She reported this to the two prime ministers when she left the Heavenly Palace, because not long ago she received a secret letter from her son Yin Zhen, telling her about Mrs. Han.
I don’t know if it’s okay, but now that I know it, I want to come and see it. She wanted to take a look at her daughter-in-law Zhao Yiling. The Qi family is one of the six major surnames in Maoer City. Qi Ping also has a brother named Qi Feng, whom he has not seen for a long time.
She didn't dare to go to the Qi family or the Qi family ancestral hall. Qi Ping came because Yin Zhen said that Zhao Yiling should live here.
But when Qi Ping stood at the door, he hesitated again! She didn't know how to face Zhao Yiling, especially when Yin Zhen told her that Feng Yingxue had agreed to become the second princess, she felt that as a mother-in-law, she had no face to see her daughter-in-law.
Coincidentally, Zhao Yiling was standing in the attic of the mansion and happened to see the figure at the door. She didn't recognize her at first, but looking at her manners and elegance, she recognized that she was her mother-in-law.
Zhao Yiling was so surprised and happy that tears came out unconsciously. The last time Yin Zhen came, she didn't have such a big emotional ups and downs.
My mother-in-law is different. She is also a woman, a pregnant woman, and a noble Virgin.
Looking at her lonely figure, Zhao Yiling felt uncomfortable. She jumped out of the railing, turned into a crane, spread her wings and flew towards the door of the mansion.
When the crane flew up and turned into a human form and landed in front of us, tears burst out from our eyes, and the two women hugged!
"Empress!"
"Yiling! In fact, you can just call me one word!" Zhao Yiling hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage and said, "Mom!"
"Hey!" The two hugged tighter! Seeing this scene, the guards around him breathed a sigh of relief. They almost struck him with a knife just now!
"Mom, let's go in and talk!"
"Okay!" One of them shouted naturally and the other happily heard it. After sitting down, Qi Ping took a good look at Zhao Yiling.
My daughter-in-law has some baby fat, but her skin is still very delicate. The most obvious thing is that her eyes have a light that they never had before - she has become confident and agile, and has a hostess style.
"Mom, this is the mansion of my fourth brother Zhao Yao. It seems that my own mansion has not been built yet!" Isn't that right? The four brothers of the Zhao family are busy building a big house for her now, which is also a good thing. Mao'er City Capital A lot less trouble.
Qi Ping heard the meaning from her words.
"Are you really not planning to go back?" Zhao Yiling knelt down directly. Qi Ping tried to help him up but she repeatedly refused.
"It's Yiling's stubbornness and willfulness, but I really can't accept sharing the same husband with Yin Wan'er and Feng Yingxue. For the sake of my children and myself, I want to stay in Mao'er City." Qi Ping's temper has softened since she became pregnant. A lot.
She sighed and said: "I know your situation very well. You are very good. If I had divorced my husband long ago!" She was not kidding. If Yin Beichuan dared to marry a concubine, Qi Ping would have made a big fuss. Heavenly Palace!
Zhao Yiling was grateful,
"Mom, I won't care if a man just visits a brothel and looks for girls, but I'm heartbroken when he doesn't care about me!" Qi Ping helped his daughter-in-law up.
"I know! Originally, one Yin Wan'er was enough, but now adding Feng Yingxue is really too difficult for you!" Zhao Yiling slowly sat down below her mother-in-law.
"I originally married the second prince to replace Yingxue. Now that he has fulfilled his wish, I can retire with success!"
"Yiling, don't say that! He has no choice but to do many things! After all, he is the prince, and I have bigger things to consider! In order to gain support, he must marry Yin Wan'er and Feng Yingxue!" She heard what her mother-in-law meant. Yes - Yin Zhen married Yin Wan'er to gain the support of the Dragon Clan, and married Feng Yingxue to gain the support of the Lingfeng Clan.
"It just so happens that I am now the acting patriarch of the Crane Clan, so my mother is here!"
"No, no, no, I didn't come to you for this matter. I just came to see you. After all, you still have the flesh and blood of the Qinglong Clan in your belly! I will not force you to lead the Crane Clan to support my son." Could it be that the mother-in-law Is it because of lust?
The mother-in-law is much smarter than Yin Zhen.
"Yiling, if you want to regain your freedom, I can help you!" Zhao Yiling was silent. It seems that I thought wrongly!
"This way you can stay in Mao'er City with peace of mind and manage the Crane Clan properly." Qi Ping could say this because of her father, Zhao Qimeng.
Back then, her brother Qi Feng had squeezed out her father and became the head of Fan County with her help. This made her feel a little guilty, but since he was gone, she could only take better care of his daughter.
"Thank you for your tolerance, but I don't want to reconcile with the second prince!" She discussed this matter with her mother, Yun Niang, and came to a conclusion in her mind - reconciliation is not something that should be considered now.
"Yiling, don't hide it from me when I'm in front of you. I heard that Han Junting fell in love with you, right?" She knelt down again.
"Mom, that's just wishful thinking on his part, I don't have any second thoughts!"
"Get up, don't bother yourself and the child in your belly. It's a good thing for a good girl to be liked by a man, and women also have the right to pursue their own happiness. Just like me, if I hadn't taken the initiative, I'd still be a coward in this cat-eared city. Where is my heroine!" When she was young, Qi Ping did have the demeanor of a heroine. She loved traveling around the world and fighting injustices everywhere.
She always likes to run out, sometimes to Yincheng in the Western Wilderness, sometimes to Sibei River Port for refreshments, and after a while she goes to Shimmer Grassland to hunt with the local hunters.
It wasn't until she met Chuan Qing at the foot of Hongyun Mountain in Nanxiu, and met the then crown prince Yin Beichuan and the God of War Fanyan that her life trajectory changed qualitatively.
Seeing that my daughter-in-law was silent, she said again,
"You know, Han Junting is my cousin, and his character is reliable. If you can really have a good outcome with him, I will be willing to do so. After all, we are still a family!" Zhao Yiling thought carefully, and it was true.
"Mom, please don't say that. If outsiders hear it, I really won't be able to explain it clearly!" Suddenly, a soldier came forward and knelt down to report,
"I'm reporting to the Fourth Miss that Deputy Patriarch Han Junting is asking for a meeting outside the door! You see..." Zhao Yiling waved one hand and said, "Just say that I am ill today and ask him to discuss it with the City Lord Zhao Zigou if he has anything to do!"
"Wait a minute!" Qi Ping interrupted his daughter-in-law.
"I am the mother of the second prince Yin Zhen, please let him in!"
"Miss Fourth?" Zhao Yiling was helpless!
"Listen to your Majesty, hurry up and invite people in!"
"Yes! Fourth Miss!" Han Junting's smile suddenly froze as he entered the hall! It was a rare opportunity to be allowed into the mansion to see Zhao Yiling, but he didn't expect the Holy Mother to be there!
He quickly knelt down, cupped his hands and said,
"Cousin... Han Junting pays homage to the Holy Mother!" Qi Ping smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to do this big salute since you already call me cousin. You can wait until my name tag is on the desk before paying homage. !" Han Junting was so frightened that he stood up quickly.
Zhao Yiling smiled when he saw this embarrassing scene.
"It has been many years since I last saw my eldest nephew, and he has become more and more talented! Yiling, what do you think?" She was really at a loss when she was suddenly nodded.
"Master Han's image and temperament are the best in Mao'er City!" Han Junting was happy, smiling like a fool.
"As the deputy chief of the Crane Clan, he is my very good helper and friend. Mr. Han has worked hard during this period!" Han Junting bowed his hands in a humble salute.
"Thank you, Patriarch! I should do everything I should to do my job in Wei'er. Thanks to the Patriarch's mediation, none of the brothers of the Zhao family have given me any trouble in recent days!" Hearing these words, Zhao Yiling and Qi Ping Can't even be happy.
"Do you know how to speak? Why do these brothers want to trouble you? There must be something wrong with you!"
"My nephew is scared, please ask the patriarch and cousin to correct me!" Qi Ping stood up slowly and said, "You know, when I have nothing to do these days in Tiangong, I love reading story books the most, especially those written by you. I couldn't put it down even more! Why don't you tell me about your experience in writing this storybook!" Zhao Yiling was frightened by these words, but Qi Ping reacted quickly,
"Don't kneel down, the story is literature, don't check in first!" Han Junting scratched his head for a long time and squeezed out one sentence,
"Cousin, I wrote that book when I drank too much. They are all fictional plots about the relationship between men and women. Don't take it seriously!" Qi Ping smiled strangely and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Take me to your story shop quickly and see if I can find a few good story books. I’ll take them back to Tiangong and read them slowly!”
"Okay, cousin...it's just..."
"Just what?"
"Now someone in our company is taking care of it for me!"
"What does that matter! I brought the banknote!" Han Junting was anxious! Zhao Yiling also didn't understand what the two men were arguing about.
"Cousin, how about this? Since you are pregnant, I will help you get the storybook, which will save you the trouble of traveling so far!"
"It's okay! You need to move around more when you're pregnant! Yiling, why don't you come with me!" Zhao Yiling had no choice but to agree!
...Not long after, in Baidi City of the East China Sea, Feng Yingxue and Feng Zhu landed by the Que Lake outside the city.
This seemed to be Feng Yingxue's fixed landing point every time she came, without even thinking about it. It’s just that the scene I saw when I came back was very different!
There are several huge ships docked by Que Lake, and they are fixed together. Construction is underway on a large house above the ship.
"Eleven, after all, Baidi City is the main city of the Dragon Clan. It's okay to build a house in the city, but now you have to build a house on a ship. You are really rich and have ideas!" Feng Yingxue was interested when she heard it.
"Come on, Ah-Run, let's go and broaden our horizons!" In fact, she wanted to delay for a while. She didn't expect to see the second prince Yin Zhen right away.
"Okay!" The sudden arrival of the two beauties at the construction site naturally attracted attention and onlookers. Feng Yingxue quickly ran to the side of the ship to take a look. Hanging on the door of the house on the dock was actually the word Qifeng Mansion!
She no longer remembers Lin Huaishu, but she has a vague impression of Qifeng Mansion.
"Isn't Qifeng Mansion the name of my house in Linjia Village? How come someone uses it here?" Feng Tong said: "Eleven, let's leave quickly, everyone is watching!" Feng Yingxue turned around, and it turned out that it was indeed a good job. The masters stood there with tools and materials in hand and watched.
"A'Run, let's go!" The two of them quickly flew to the city gate and hurried into the city. The sun was setting in the west, and the afternoon sunlight shone on Feng Yingxue's body, making her look like a walking beauty.
"A'Rong?"
"Um?"
"Do you like this Baidi City?" Feng Tong did not answer immediately because she became cautious as soon as she arrived here.
"I am...should I like it?" Feng Zhuo has been to Baidi City many times, especially when her mother Xu Zhi was eleven months pregnant.
"Of course it should! Look at how lively and prosperous this place is. The houses are beautiful and there are many shops. It is indeed a good place to eat, drink and have fun!" Feng Tong thought that her sister said this on purpose.
She obviously had a lot of stories here, but now she talks about it so lightly? He must be pretending to be calm.
"Eleven, it's almost meal time, why don't we find a place to eat something?"
"Okay, it's already late today, so I won't disturb the second prince for now! Let's eat first!" Feng Yingxue walked along the northern city wall, and she stopped in front of the Rising Sun Tavern.
She had memories of the Rising Sun Tavern, but why didn't the store look right? . Feng Tong asked softly: "Eleven, don't you want to drink, do you?" Feng Yingxue held her chin and said, "I seem to have been to this pub before, but I don't even remember when I came or who I came with. It's like this place The food is quite delicious!" Feng Tong was helpless, what was supposed to come would still come!
"Then let's go to this place. I just want to find a stool and sit down for a while. It doesn't matter what I eat or drink!"
