[Honghuang] Recruiting demon flags

"...So, that's how it is. King Wucheng and Prime Minister Shang have a very close friendship. It just so happens that Concubine Huang is King Wucheng's sister. The little demon sent a maid to the West Palace to inquire about the news, saying that it was Shang Rong who saw King Zhou's cruelty and persuaded him. He refused to listen, and couldn't bear to see Tang Jiangshan defeated by him, so he resigned from office."

In Wa Palace, Daji and Nuwa walked in the garden together.

She waited beside the empress, talking eloquently, starting from Du Yuanxian, talking about Shang Rong's appointment to the official, and hundreds of officials making an appointment to see him off at the Changting Pavilion. She told Nuwa all the things that happened in recent days.

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Mother, since Shang Rong can't bear to see Tang Jiangshan corrupted, he should stay in the court? He persuaded ten words, and King Zhou might listen to one or two words; King Zhou would not listen to a hundred sentences—why did he leave?"

Ever since she learned the illusion technique, Daji didn't like staying in the palace very much. She felt that there were too many rules and made her feel uncomfortable, but she often ran to Wa Palace.

Completely forgot that the rules of Wa Palace are more than that of the palace.

Every time she came to Wa Palace, she would only leave a sleeping phantom in her bedroom to deal with the palace people, or King Zhou who came to Shouxian Palace from time to time.

It made rumors everywhere in the palace that Su Niangniang had been particularly lethargic recently, not to mention some strange illness.

Daji often comes to Wa Palace to look for Nuwa.Sometimes when Nuwa was not around, or when she was not free, Daji would go wandering around with Caiyun, tending the exotic flowers and plants in Wa's palace, or feeding Qingluan and white cranes.

However, if Nuwa happened to be idle, she would definitely meet her.

Usually it means pointing out a few words about her newly learned illusion technique, and then explaining some spiritual issues to her; surgery.

As an ancient righteous god, Nuwa has extensive knowledge. Daji didn't stay in Wa's palace for long, and felt that she learned more from her mother than letting her live ten more 1000 years combined.

So Daji couldn't figure out the recent matter of Shang Rong's appointment as an official, so she asked directly.

She and Nu Wa are standing by a pond.The pond is very shallow, the water is extremely clear, there are several koi carps, and the bottom of the pond is covered with five-colored stones.

When Daji first came to the Wa Palace, she didn't take it seriously. Seeing the beautiful stones, she thought of picking up two to play with.

Until one day, Bixia told her that these were the five-color stones that the empress had refined to mend the sky, and because there were still many left, she used them to pave a pond to raise koi. Daji was so frightened that she almost knelt down on the spot and knelt down three times in front of the pond. knock.

Even though she came here many times later, Daji still feels very reserved as she stands by the pond with Nuwa.

Nuwa still wore the same five-colored dress, standing with sleeves and sleeves clear, gentle and brilliant clouds spontaneously gathered above her head, Qingluan hovered around her, dancing, and white cranes landed in front of her, bowing their heads. Neck please.

After hearing Daji's words, she just asked: "Now King Zhou has no way, what about the prince? What do you think of the prince?"

Daji thought for a while, and said: "The crown prince was born by the empress. The empress thinks that the little demon is causing trouble in the harem and has a bad relationship with the little demon, so the little demon can't see the prince. Besides, Empress Jiang’s father is Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu, who has countless elite soldiers and good generals, whether the ministers support him or not, Dong Bohou always supports the crown prince.”

Nuwa asked again, "Who is the prince's teacher?"

Daji let out an "ah" and suddenly realized.

The teacher of His Royal Highness Yin Jiao is Shang Rong.

Daji couldn't help but said: "Mother, that's... But Shang Rong saw that King Zhou was hopeless, so he turned to support the prince? But King Zhou was in the prime of his life, and the prince was only 14 years old. Could it be that Shang Rong is so handsome?" Waiting year after year?"

She also learned a lot in Wa Palace during this time, and Nu Wa wanted to test her, so she only asked: "If you were Shang Rong, what would you do?"

Daji thought for a while, and said: "It's nothing more than...First concentrate on assisting the prince and teaching him the way of governing the country, and then either stay in Chaoge City and launch a palace change to assassinate King Zhou, or take the prince to defect to Dongbohou. Left and right Dong Bohou's men are strong and popular, so it would be a direct rebellion; moreover, the crown prince Yin Jiao is the heir of the Shang Dynasty, and this country is not considered to be in the hands of outsiders."

But Nuwa said: "Shangrong doesn't need to assist the prince."

Daji: "Huh?"

The wind blows the pond water, wrinkling shallow ripples.Nuwa looked at the ripples and said, "Since Shang Rong is the prince's teacher, the prince will obey him. When the time comes, tell me, is it Yin Jiao or Shang Rong who is sitting on the throne?"

She spoke calmly, her reflection was reflected in the pool, her clothes fluttered, washed by the sparkling waves, she looked more graceful and at ease.

Daji looked at her reflection and saw God.

But she thought again, why does the empress know so much about mortal affairs?

Just as she was thinking, Nuwa stretched out her hand and broke off a branch of peach blossom from the flower tree beside the pond—maybe it was a peach blossom, thin, light pink five-petaled flowers gathered in clusters on the branch, like a peach blossom The shape of the peach blossom is much more delicate and soft than the peach blossom.Although Daji learned a lot of things from Nuwa, she couldn't recognize her for a while.

Nuwa folded the flower and turned to look at her.

She is taller than Daji, and when looking at her, she has to lower her eyes a little, and the end of her eyes is particularly narrow and long, with a high and sharp look, like snow and ice cut off on a high mountain.

From such a close distance, Daji could even see clearly that under the dignified and majestic appearance of the empress, the pupils of her eyes were a lighter dark gray color, and there seemed to be many things hidden in them, both simple and deep.

It was so close, so close that it seemed that if she raised her head, she would bump into the empress.

But Nuwa stretched her hand over her head, and slowly pulled out the gold hairpin, her eyelashes drooping, her breath falling on Daji's cheek.

Daji held her breath.

Nuwa smiled, and put the flower branch in her hand on Daji's head.

Daji was stunned in disbelief, hesitated for a moment, but saw the empress raised her hand, and inserted her golden hairpin into her hair with a calm expression.

Black cloud temples, delicate hairpins, the hairpins are carved with glazed eyes, the phoenix spreads its wings, and thin golden tassels hang down, blown by the wind, shattering the sunlight.

Nuwa just looked at Daji like this.

Then said: "This flower suits you very well."

……

Caiyun came to serve in the evening, and when she saw the golden hairpin in the hair of Empress Nuwa, she couldn't help being curious and looked at it a few more times.

The empress has always disliked this kind of gold and silver accessories in the world. She thinks it is tacky. Most of the hairpins are made of jade hairpins, wooden hairpins or bone hairpins. As luxurious as it is, it is also in line with the majesty of the empress.

Caiyun took a closer look and felt that this was the same one that the fox hid on his head before, preparing to assassinate King Zhou.

Just when she was really curious and took a peek for the third time, Nuwa finally asked, "What are you looking at?"

Caiyun was pointed out by her, and she simply asked: "Madam, is this the gold hairpin on that fox's head?"

Nuwa paused for a while holding the book.

Caiyun: "Ma'am?"

"I remember," Nuwa said indifferently, "When I summoned the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb earlier, I gave her a name at the request of that fox."

Caiyun laughed and said, "The fox barks smoothly."

Nuwa turned over a page of the scroll in her hand, her face was still expressionless, she just lowered her eyes, quietly looked at the Yaozu skills that had been revised many times in front of her, and said: "There are so many foxes in the world, she has a name. Yes, her name is Daji."

……

……

Shang Palace.

King Zhou just went to Shouxian Palace at night. When he saw Daji, Daji looked lazy and sleepy just after waking up.

He sat down, and Daji made a cup of tea with him.

King Zhou looked at Daji, and always felt that there was something different about Daji. After looking at Daji for a long time, he drank half a cup of tea before he finally realized, "Beauty, the peach blossom on your head is just in full bloom, so beautiful. But now It's winter, where did you get the peach blossoms?"

Daji reached out and touched the flower branch on her head, covered her lips and smiled slightly, "Do you like it, Your Majesty?"

"Naturally."

Daji sat on King Zhou's lap familiarly, picked up the tea on the table, and fed it to his mouth, "When the concubine was resting just now, I had a dream. I dreamed that the Goddess of Nine Heavens made this peach blossom for my concubine. , When I woke up, the flower was on my head."

After drinking tea, King Zhou teased her and said, "What goddess is she? She is beautiful?"

Daji smiled.

"Nature is extremely beautiful." She said softly: "The concubine has little knowledge and can't recognize the god, but I remember that the empress said to the concubine that she had a plan with the concubine. If you have a bad character, you are doomed to be miserable all your life, but there is one advantage."

King Zhou embraced her, slid his hand along her skirt, and asked, "Oh, which benefit?"

Daji looked at King Zhou with rippling eyes, and there seemed to be inexhaustible feelings in his bright eyes.

"——The empress said, this concubine will definitely marry a lover in this life."
