dragon pen

"The feather of the mayfly, the clothes are beautiful; the heart is worried... Hey, what is the next sentence? Can you shake the big tree? Something seems wrong..."

A good health-preserving nap was interrupted by noisy people outside for unknown reasons. Zhu Jiuyin was not happy at all, and was yawning and sitting on the treetops, tickling and humming an out-of-key song when suddenly he heard a slight sound coming from afar. Footsteps... The man who was lazily leaning on the tree trunk stopped his tickling, pulled his robe to clear his throat, and sat upright with a serious face.

He raised his head and waited for a moment, and as expected, he saw a black-haired boy open the door and enter the wing——

The food is back!

His eyes lit up slightly, but in the next second he saw the young man with empty hands, and the hope in his eyes disappeared without a trace. Zhu Jiuyin was about to explode, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the young man walking into the room with his brows tightly frowned and his eyes empty, as if he was confused about what was going on. distressed……

The question on the lips swallowed it somehow, Zhu Jiuyin scratched his chin with his slender fingers, and lazily said: "What's wrong with you little idiot, who was bullied on the street, why is he so sad?" appearance?"

"..."

"You have to know that a frowning face is not in line with your happy and cute fool persona."

"...can you calm down for a while?" Zhang Ziyao sighed as if he was tired, "Jiujiu, it was raining outside just now, did you hear that?"

Zhu Jiuyin let out a groan, and said indifferently: "It's not like the deaf man's thunder is so big, I naturally heard it. It's not raining, it's not like using a knife, so what's so special?"

"Just now, the Liji Roast Duck Shop on the street caught fire. Together with your sliced ​​duck, the fire almost burned half of the capital city—at this time, by coincidence, the sky suddenly became dark clouds and the wind was strong. It's raining heavily."

After Zhang Ziyao finished speaking, he looked up to see the expressions of the people in the painting.

The latter lived up to everyone's expectations with a confused face: "Good thing, and then?"

Zhang Ziyao gritted his molars: "First, the flood that was supposed to flood the city, and then the fire that caused the sky to burn the city, have all been inexplicably stopped!"

Zhu Jiuyin was stunned for a moment, and three seconds later, she clapped her hands under Zhang Ziyao's stare: "Yes? Are you talking about beasts?"

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

Zhu Jiuyin: "What kind of eyes do you have? Presumptuous! Unreasonable! This kind of eyes that look at fools can only be used by me to look at you!"

"..." Zhang Ziyao wiped his face, blinked and stretched his neck and asked, "So, Jiujiu, you also think it's a beast, right?"

"Yeah, this new fiend is really stinky and shameless. It rains and sets fires, writes and draws in Tianhe's book on a whim, and then crosses out the written things in a blink of an eye. He doesn't respect me and plays with mortal creatures. It’s not that I’m inconvenient to move now, I’m sure I’ll fuck him up in front of the Jade Emperor—”

"However, people outside generally say that this is because a certain empress in the imperial palace has blessed the world. Because she is about to become the empress, the world will be free from pain and disaster."

"..." Zhu Jiuyin's thoughts came to an abrupt end, and she used her little fingers to pick her ears. He bent down with a face full of ridiculous absurdity, "What did you say?"

"A certain lady Fu Zetian—"

"Okay." Zhu Jiuyin straightened her waist, "A mortal woman is blessed with the world, so there is no disaster in the world? There is no fluctuation in my heart, and I even want to laugh."

"You can't say that, Jiujiu, you said that even Su Tuanyuan can turn into a human being and come to Zihu, who can guarantee whether it is because of some coincidence that a great fairy like Fei also turned into a human being and came to the world to have a destiny People around? So according to my guess, do you think this lady might be—"

"Are today's sages good at Long Yang?"

"What's the matter with the word 'also'..." Zhang Ziyao muttered, "I've never heard that the emperor has this hobby."

Zhu Jiuyin twitched her lips: "Then it's over, Fei is a male beast, what kind of empress should he be?"

"..." Zhang Ziyao was stunned, "A male beast?"

"Who told you that Fei belonged to the mother?"

"You didn't say he wasn't."

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this. But your imagination is too rich, such a hot-tempered bastard who sees so-and-so die and stare at so-and-so pregnant, and because of a coincidence, he descended to the mortal world and came to the side of a destined person..." Zhuo Jiuyin clicked his tongue twice, "This is a disaster god, and there are people who are predestined, but all those who are predestined to him are dead."

"You can't say it so absolutely..."

Zhu Jiuyin sneered: "Have you ever heard of someone flaunting their special fate with Black and White Impermanence?"

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

"The answer is: no." Zhu Jiuyin said lightly, "These two brothers depend on each other for life, and it's almost time for the 1000th anniversary. When it comes to Longyang, I think these two are quite tricky..."

During the whole discussion process, Zhu Jiuyin not only had an extremely improper attitude, ridiculed and disdainful, but also crazily digressed and diverted thinking——

Not a good one to confide in at all.

Zhang Ziyao frowned and let go, naturally he didn't want to be led away by Zhu Jiuyin intentionally or unintentionally, so he just said indifferently: "Then how do you explain the matter of that empress in the palace? I don't believe it if it's just a coincidence that such a person who is blessed in the world."

"I didn't tell you not to believe me."

"..."

"But since you're so persistent, it's okay to take a look," Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were wandering, but at this moment he stopped somewhere, and after a long pause, he said slowly, "... anyway Whether you admit your mistake or not, you will not lose two catties of meat."

Zhang Ziyao paused just as he was about to undress and take a rest. His clothes were half hanging on his body. He turned his head and looked at the picture scroll behind him expressionlessly. Calmly, he took his gaze away from the boy's buttocks.

There was a moment of deathly silence.

A green dragon's tail protruded from the scroll, hooked it, and silently pulled the scroll.

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

Zhang Ziyao only felt his cheeks warming up gradually, as if he came back to his senses and covered his butt, he said angrily to the tightly closed picture scroll: "A man's figure should be strong and strong, what's the use of having that amount of flesh! Who are you mocking, you skinny embryonic dragon!"

The picture scroll hangs on the wall without moving, just like a real picture scroll——

It seems that a certain dragon is going to play dead to the end.

Zhang Ziyao snorted, took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed. Lying on the bed, he couldn't help but reached out and touched his buttocks. It was so soft that it had all the flesh it should have... His hands paused, as if he had just realized what he was doing. The boy's face This time it was like a cooked tomato turned completely red, and he withdrew his hand suddenly as if it was hot, and angrily hammered out of bed, pulled the quilt and covered it, and turned over heavily to sleep.

……

If you want to know whether the empress is Fei, of course you have to see it with your own eyes - but it is an empress in the palace, not something ordinary people can see if they want to.

Zhang Ziyao propped his chin and frowning. At this moment, a few fireflies flew in from the window like dots, circled around the room, and plunged into the scroll hanging behind Zhang Ziyao—in the scroll, hidden The pine tree under the moonlit night is slightly illuminated by the light spots of fireflies, the branches sway gently, and the man with long hair scattered and loose robes piled up on his waist bends down, revealing his handsome face from behind the treetops: "Are you still worried? Don't worry." Worry, which one do you want to hear, good news or bad news?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Ziyao said, "Good news."

"The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival cruise, the new empress will accompany the emperor to travel around, and then you will be able to see the empress Bai Ze who is safe in the world."

"White Pond?"

"That kid Bai Ze is a real blessed beast, he will only appear in front of the emperor to preach and receive karma when the world is peaceful...Of course, this gentleman is just mocking a lady who is safe in the world." Zhu Jiuyin said expressionlessly, "Why is it so difficult to tell a joke with you? It's almost impossible to communicate normally, go read a book and fill yourself up, please."

Zhang Ziyao didn't want to hear this rascal dragon teasing him for knowledge at all, so he just asked himself: "What's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that she is a concubine, even if you come out to enjoy the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival cruise, you ordinary people can't see her, so you still can't see her true face." Zhu Jiuyin raised the corners of her lips, "If you are still that lecherous. The prince's painter may still have a chance, but unfortunately you have already left the palace, are you disappointed?"

That proud look, as if he was just waiting to see Zhang Ziyao get his hope and then lose it.

He completely forgot who was the guy who was frantically forcing Zhang Ziyao to move out of the palace during the twelve hours of the day except eating and sleeping.

Zhang Ziyao gave him a squinting look: "I don't want to talk about it beforehand, Jiujiu, why are you so well-informed? I've been wondering for a long time. A paper dragon that lives in a painting, went to the Queen Mother because The wardrobe is angry, there is nothing you don't know when you come down to the mortal world to go boating and admire the moon..."

Zhu Jiuyin heard the words.He was taken aback for a moment, then he reached out and patted the tree trunk.

A group of fireflies flew up from the treetops, the dark green tree was shrouded in a faint yellow light, several fireflies landed on his shoulders, their fingertips illuminated his face flickeringly, Zhu Jiuyin waved again Sleeves, all those fireflies flew out of the scroll, like stars being scattered one by one, forming an unstable band of light between the scroll and the window——

"See, the gods don't need to run errands to inquire about gossip, the gossip will come to your door." Zhu Jiuyin said proudly, "A despicable mortal like you won't understand."

"..."

Gossip automatically delivered to your door?

Judging from Tai Lianqing's previous performance, it seems that no one knows about Zhu Jiuyin waking up tomorrow, so how can those gossip "come to your door"?

Zhang Ziyao cast a glance at Zhu Jiuyin, seeing that he was telling the truth with a smug face, he didn't expose it, but he hesitated a little in his heart, but he just passed it by.

After all, these have nothing to do with him.

It was just that after hearing Zhu Jiuyin's gossip, Zhang Ziyao went out to collect some points that night, and walked back and forth several times along the bank of the legendary royal cruise ship, while silently planning where the guards might stand at that time, while thinking about it. With my stature, where should I stand so that I can see the appearance of that empress more clearly, so as to confirm whether she is a beast or not.

In this regard, Zhu Jiuyin's suggestion is——

"You'll know when you take me to have a look."

"You know Fei?"

"do not know."

Zhang Ziyao thought for a while: "There must be many singing and dancing girls and concubines in the harem on the moon-watching boat during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Jiujiu, you want to see beauties again."

"Nonsense, you are slander."

"Have I ever told you why I suspected that the empress was a beast?"

"how?"

"Because you said that the beast is ugly, and that empress was also nicknamed 'Ugly Empress' in the mortal world... I heard that her complexion is sallow, her nose is flat and her lips are thin, her ears are as big as fans, and her eyes are like soybeans." , with freckles—”

"She must be childless."

"?"

"Listen to your description, this is a look that you can't even blow out the candles. The beauties that the Holy Majesty has seen today are not [-], but [-]. Just like this, how could he be able to go down—"

Before Zhu Jiuyin could say "beep", Zhang Ziyao had already raised his hands to cover his ears, expressing that he was not happy to listen to his dirty jokes... The man in the picture scroll gave him a look like looking at a child, then lazily Laughing lazily—it seems that the boy standing outside the scroll with his hands covering his ears and looking like a good baby is rare and cute.

After Zhang Ziyao's forceful "persuasion", Zhu Jiuyin really stopped making a fuss and wanted to go with him to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns to join in the fun, muttering "it just so happens that the old man can't stand the excitement" and turned around to give Zhang Ziyao a list and asked him to bring it back The festive "tribute" of "Shangoff" ranges from soup dumplings to candied haws to mooncakes that must be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival...

Hulala a lot.

The paper hangs down several feet from the tops of the pine trees.

Really edible.

Looking at the back of Zhang Ziyao who was excitedly writing the "gift list" with his back facing him, he let out a long sigh, and was at a loss as to how to see the true face of that empress——

At this time, the door was knocked from outside.

Under Zhang Ziyao's urging, Zhu Jiuyin reluctantly cherished the list, carefully rolled it up and put it back in place to make an ordinary painting, Zhang Ziyao responded and opened the door, only to find that standing outside the door was actually Prince Rui's Mansion boy.

——As if he had heard Zhang Ziyao's difficulties, he was still worrying about his front foot, but on the back foot, Lord Rui Louhen handed over the post about enjoying the moon with a flower boat on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The reason is high-sounding. Since Zhang Ziyao’s grandfather’s "Phoenix Occupying My Tongtu", the current emperor has not seen the authentic handwriting of the dragon pen. A few days ago, he heard that his son had sexual contact with the hand of the dragon pen and he was still in the capital. The matter of visiting the moon while traveling on the Mid-Autumn Festival——

At that time, Zhang Ziyao can take the same boat with the royal family and spend the festive season together.

Well, that's beside the point.

The point is, it was a coincidence that they were on the same boat, and it really solved Zhang Ziyao's urgent need: he could see that lady whatever he wanted.

Zhang Ziyao naturally agreed without thinking about such a good opportunity. He accepted the post and gave the reward to send off the servant of the palace. Just as he turned his head happily, he saw a man sitting on a treetop with his sleeves folded, at his feet in the painting behind him. Beside it was a pile of shredded paper, which was clearly a list of tributes he had painstakingly written just now.

Zhang Ziyao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"I think about it carefully, and the food should be fresh." Zhu Jiuyin said, "Besides, the last time I watched the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the mortal world, I didn't know that the Year of the Monkey is already here, so I miss it when I think about it."

"Just now you said with a look of disgust that the old man can't stand the noise."

"However, I'm young and vigorous. He's in full bloom." Zhu Jiuyin said with a straight expression on his expressionless face, "The old man Taishang Laojun just mentioned."

(On cloud nine, the kind old man squatting beside a large alchemy furnace sneezes.

"Master, what's the matter!" The little boy next to the old man looked nervous.

"I sneezed, is it possible that someone is talking bad things about the old fairy?" The old man stroked his gray beard, "No, since that person disappeared, the old fairy hasn't sneezed for 500 years—")

"Don't speak disrespectfully to Old Master Taishang," Zhang Ziyao said blankly, "He has a much better image in the mortal world than you."

"Did I say something wrong? At the Pantao Festival last time, the three-eyed monkey and the monkey jumped up and down to win the prize. The young fairy was so excited that he couldn't bear to blink his eyes. The old man sat opposite me and fell asleep." Zhu Jiuyin You waved your hands with a face that you didn't understand, "It's not like this gentleman, who likes to be lively the most - watching the moon, listening to music, guessing lantern riddles, etc., I like it the most."

"..."

"Appreciate the moon, and I want to go with you."

A completely irrefutable imperative statement.

"Did you hear?"

"I heard it, I heard it..."

"You are perfunctory to me."

"I'll buy you delicious food and show you Huaniang."

"Hmph." Zhu Jiuyin shook her sleeves and turned her back to Zhang Ziyao, "Is it rare for me?"

Zhang Ziyao shrugged his shoulders, and as expected, he heard the person whose back was facing him add in the next second——

"Children who only know how to make wishes to make the gods happy but don't do it according to the facts will not grow taller. Be careful and do what you say. Although I don't care much about it, food and beautiful ladies will be indispensable at that time. "
