A Chinese Ghost Story

The red doors opened layer by layer, and a few crystal pillars in the dim yellow Empress Dowager's palace lighted up faintly. Yinyue was lying angrily under the thick brown-green old tree full of branches. The vines entangled her body. She adjusted slightly. In the posture, the arms propped up the head, and the long and pointed fingers looked sharper on the hands.

Meiji stood aside with her head down, she had already told the Queen Mother that Qiye was going to marry Hua Mei Niang as queen, and now the Queen Mother was furiously summoning Qiye to enter the palace.

"Emperor, I heard that you are going to marry Hua Mei Niang as the queen, isn't it true?" Yinyue suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked calmly, this damn Hua Mei Niang, the roulette wheel of fate It has been turned on, Qiye didn't even like Xiaoqian, how could this be possible!

She watched Qiye stepping across the stone bridge with a serious face, lifted his clothes and knelt down straight, his head drooped slightly, no matter what, he loved his mother, and he didn't want to see her disappointed and angry face at the moment, " I'm sorry, Queen Mother!"

Yinyue didn't wait for him to finish speaking, angrily scolded, and straightened up: "Enough! Don't forget, you are the holy king of the Yinyue Dynasty, Xuanxin Zhengzong is our sworn enemy, and that Huamei Niang is Jin Guang's apprentice! "

Qiye's eyebrows raised, and his heart suddenly ached, but he still couldn't refuse his own thoughts, and a voice in his heart told him firmly that he wanted to marry Hua Mei Niang.

Heiliang raised his deep eyes, and his tone was firm: "Mother, I like her and want to marry her."

He had never contradicted her like this, nor did he disobey her like this, Yin Yue was annoyed for a while, "You..."

Meiji stood at the side and walked in quickly, sympathizing with Yinyue, "Shengjun, don't be angry with the Queen Mother." She secretly didn't want Huamei Niang to marry into the Demon Palace. It was hard for her.

Qiye gave her a cold look, Mei Ji stopped talking and stepped aside.

Yinyue closed her eyes, it seemed that her son was determined to marry that human woman, she took a deep breath, and dissuaded her: "Qiye, Hua Mei Niang is a person, even if you marry her, you can't marry her." As long as you grow old, you will watch her grow old and even die in pain, and at that time you may feel more uncomfortable than death, listen to the queen mother, don't be so self-willed."

Qiye's frown was deeper, he didn't know this, but for some reason, after parting from Yinshiyouquan, he missed her all the time, wanted to see her hundreds of times more than usual, and felt as if There was a fire burning, and his viscera were in pain, as if he had been possessed by a demon. What happened to him? Could this be the true love that Xiaoqian wanted to find in the world? He really fell in love with Meiniang?

Qiye was still kneeling straight on the ground, with slightly curly hair sideways to the corner of his eyes, he raised his head, "I have made up my mind, and I hope that my mother will be fulfilled. I promise that after marrying Mei Niang, I will still be as good as before." Ban has destroyed Xuanxin Zhengzong, occupying the human world as his own responsibility, and will never delay the big event because of this."

"Queen Mother, the four sages of the Demon Palace and Xiaoqian are asking to see you!" The little demon guarding the gate timidly came in to summon her.

When Qiye heard Xiaoqian's name, she still unconsciously turned her head to look at it. Sure enough, a wisp of white clothes rushed in without waiting for the summons, but the four sages of the Demon Palace stood outside the bedroom and dared not enter.

As soon as Nie Xiaoqian entered, she saw Qiye kneeling there, and hurried to help him: "Brother Qiye, why are you kneeling here, get up quickly, the queen mother loves you so much, she will definitely promise you! Isn't it, queen mother?"

Qiye's serious expression loosened a bit, he was no stranger to Xiaoqian's shameless behavior, "Xiaoqian, now is not the time to mess around, listen to brother Qiye, go out first, don't make trouble here."

Nie Xiaoqian looked disappointed, with grievances in her big eyes, "I did something wrong, I just want to help you."

Qiye patted her hand on his shoulder and said, "Be obedient, go out first."

Nie Xiaoqian pursed her lips, and ran to the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, let Brother Qiye get up first, don't you love Brother Qiye the most?"

Yinyue saw the interaction between the two of them in her eyes, and Qiye still looked at Xiaoqian with affection in her eyes. This discovery shocked her, her soul had been replaced by a moon demon, her eyes became colder, Nie Xiaoqian was taken aback, thinking that the queen mother was really angry, so she didn't dare to think about countermeasures.

Moon Demon pretended to be Yinyue, and said: "Qiye, get up first, come to the queen mother, and let the queen mother ask you a few words."

Hearing the sound, Qiye stood up, went to sit next to her, Moon Demon quietly grabbed his hand, patted it again and again, and the other hand stayed near his pulse, "Qiye, in fact, the mother always thought that The person you love is Xiaoqian, after all you really dote on her."

Qiye and Nie Xiaoqian looked at each other at the same time. The moment the two eyes met, they saw each other as someone else in a daze. Nie Xiaoqian suddenly stood up from the side of the Queen Mother, stepped back, blinked and laughed, "The Queen Mother , what are you talking about, how could brother Qiye like me, you must have misunderstood! Besides, I already have someone I like."

Qiye frowned slightly, pulled out her hand, and said seriously: "Mother, you think too much, I just treat Xiaoqian as my younger sister. The person I like is Meiniang."

Moon Demon picked up the green eye shadow. She glanced at Qiye's withdrawn hand, but she laughed in her heart. Sure enough, there was something wrong. I don't know who actually gave him such evil, could it be Hua Mei Niang?It's not impossible for that woman to be scheming, but if she intervenes, it might be a good way to increase the resentment between Qiye and Xiaoqian.

She was still thinking about it and discussed it with Yinyue. Moon Demon pretended to have a headache, and chased away with tired eyes: "No, forget it, you all go out first, let me think about it, Don't bother me today, I want to be alone!"

Seeing her sad face, Qiye grieved for a moment, not only a little regretful, but...

"Mother, take a good rest. Xiaoqian and I will go out first."

As soon as he and Nie Xiaoqian walked to the door, they were stopped by the four sages of the Demon Palace. They threw a group of soldiers from the Demon Palace and knelt down in front of him in unison.

The four sages of the Demon Palace bowed their heads and set an example first, and put pressure on Qiye: "If the sage does not agree to cancel the marriage with Hua Mei Niang, we will not be able to kneel forever!"

The four sages of the Demon Palace shouted; "Please think twice!"

All the soldiers in the Demon Palace followed closely and shouted: "Please think again, Holy Monarch!"

Standing aside, Jing Wuyuan didn't know how to persuade her, so she put her hands behind her back and thought of a countermeasure in silence.

Seeing all of them praying together in unison, Qiye felt a burning fire in his heart, and shouted loudly, "You guys are so bold, whether you are a sage or I am a sage, how can this sage not even care about his own marriage?" If you can’t be the master, all back down!”

Qiye walked through them, went to the inner hall alone, stood under the moon hole window with a jug in his hand, felt the cool wind blowing in from it, his slightly curly hair fluttered in the wind, and watched her grow before the window. The flowers of various colors under the bed, when the flowers bloomed, the fragrance was overflowing, and there seemed to be more vitality and warmth in the magic palace. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, and murmured: "Is it right or wrong for me to do this?"

In Qingfeng Hall, Hua Mei Niang sneezed and stopped trying on the wedding dress. In the mirror, the wedding dress seemed to be a little open. She took it off and gave it to Hua Xiaozhi, "Xiaozhi, go and get another one. This one wasn't sewn right at all."

Hua Xiaozhi nodded twice, "I'll go right away."

The night was dimly lit, and the red courtyard lit by lanterns was full of guests, the tired voices came and went, and there was a lot of noise outside.

Hua Mei Niang sat down to think about things calmly, she was really anxious, maybe the old demon of Montenegro's nine-turn magic beads would not be able to last long, the Seven Nights Demon Lord had not proposed marriage in the future, and only a dozen wedding dresses were ordered, she I never knew that her mother cared about her so much, she should be happy, but she felt a little uneasy for no reason.

"Flower Girl!"

The door was pushed open, Hua Mei Niang glanced at the door.

Black Mountain Old Demon, or he can only be called Montenegro Little Demon now, he rushed in angrily, his small white and round face was covered with hickey marks, his two big eyes were blinking and his legs were spread apart Sitting down on the chair opposite her, "Master Ben doesn't want to be your dowry, do you hear me! Master Ben won't go to the magic palace with you even if he receives a hundred guests in one night, you should die early." Heart!"

Hua Mei Niang glanced at him calmly, "Aren't you afraid that the chrysanthemum will burst?"

The black mountain old demon was embarrassed, his face blushed unconsciously, he snorted and turned his head away, "Don't worry about it!"

At this moment, Hua Meiniang actually thought that Heishan's chubby appearance was very cute, much cuter than when he was wearing a pointed copper mask in Lanruo Temple, so she couldn't help pinching his bun face, "Heishan, Since my mother asked you to marry me, there must be her intentions, don't you...you don't want to meet Nie Xiaoqian who almost became your wife?" Hua Meiniang thought blackly about the current appearance of Montenegro, she probably wouldn't recognize Nie Xiaoqian. It's not bad to let him take her away from time to time.

The old Heishan demon's eyes brightened, then darkened in an instant, "My master looks like this now...how could she like me?"

Hua Mei Niang pinched his face and twisted again, "You seem to be worried whether the Seven Nights Demon Lord will recognize you and hack you again."

The black mountain old demon trembled, and said stiffly: "Hmph, my master won't be afraid of an arrogant boy like him!"

Three days later, Dongfeng Town was very lively. A well-trained team carried a hundred boxes of Dali wrapped in red silk and walked on the street. The leader of the team was sitting on a horse in white clothes. With sword eyebrows and star eyes, slightly curly hair hanging down his shoulders, and a black cloak fluttering back rustlingly, his aura became more and more awe-inspiring.

Aunt Zhu, who was selling incense candles, whispered to the peddler nearby: "Who is this guy? It's so loud, which girl is he going to marry?"

The neighbors guessed each other and joined in the discussion, "I don't know, could it be that he is going to marry the mayor's daughter Liu Su'er?"

An old aunt snorted, "How can such a good young man marry her? She has a comparable reputation to Meiniang, so it must not be her!"

While she was talking, another voice suddenly came from behind, "He is going to marry Hua Mei Niang?!"

"Fart! How is it possible..."

"Tsk tsk, if you don't believe me, look, the bride price is already at the door!"

When the hundred boxes of betrothal gifts stopped at the entrance of the Qingfeng Pavilion along a street, everyone in the street was stunned. This is to marry...to marry the young lady of the Hua family, Hua Mei Niang?

Qiye took out the note and checked the location, then stopped his horse at the entrance of "Qingfeng Pavilion" and raised his head. He saw the three words "Qingfeng Pavilion", tightened the rein skillfully with a corner of his lips, jumped down, and led the The four sages walked into the "Qingfeng Hall" together.
