Chapter 87
Enjoying being granted the title of Emperor of the East
20xx. 05. 25
At 0:30 in the morning, Xiang'er's canonization ceremony had already begun for half an hour. Xiao was sitting quietly in the living room, working without any worries.
I lay in bed, tossing and turning for an hour, but still couldn't fall asleep. My heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat, and it was on fire.
I stood up and drifted to the living room like a ghost, looking straight at Xiao.
"Hey, let me accompany you into the room. I'll be working on the floating platform." Mr. Xiao said, looking at me considerately.
Xiao leaned on the floating platform and continued working.
"If Xiang'er has forgotten us, then let them all go. Let Zhen leave me too. Anyway, I am from the Yang world. From now on, I will follow my sunny path, and they will take their Yin wooden bridge. From now on, each will go his own way.
, don’t interfere!” I said angrily.
Xiao glanced at me and quickly lowered his head without saying anything. He knew it was best for him not to say anything. In short, the more he said, the more mistakes he made.
A strong urge to cry hit me, my nose felt sore, and the circles under my eyes were burning.
"Wow...wow." I started crying all of a sudden, crying very sadly.
Xiao stood up and went to get a tissue and handed it to me, but still didn't speak.
"I want to cry, let me cry a lot, let me cry all my sadness, and I won't cry anymore." I choked and said.
Taoist priest Ouyang called suddenly. As soon as I heard the call, I quickly stopped crying. I intuitively thought that news about Xiang'er would be coming.
Alas, I have such a pitiful mother-in-law's heart. She says one thing with her mouth and thinks another in her heart. How could I let go of Xiang'er?
"King Zhen's city has increased by three more, and Li Mansion was built for him in Dongdi City. He was promoted to the third level. Junior brother Xiao, you will be promoted to the sixth level. I myself have obtained the immortal status. It is really gratifying and congratulatory.
"The Taoist priest said, his voice full of joy.
"What about Wei'er? Why didn't you hear that he was promoted?" I asked.
Xiao also asked the Taoist priest the same question.
"Wei is temporarily sent to the border to handle some important matters. He will be promoted when he comes back," the Taoist priest said.
So that’s it, I’ve thought about everything I should be thinking, but why do I still feel so uncomfortable?! I still want to cry!
"Xian'er is so powerful. He doesn't agree to let the memory of his past life merge with the memory of this life, otherwise he won't accept being named emperor." The Taoist priest said.
"Really? Xianger is great. He is really my good son. He knows how to cherish the relationship in this life." After hearing this, I said with tears in my eyes.
"Ah, Xianger is really the destined emperor, he is a little willful." Xiao said with a smile.
"Well, but that's just his willfulness. The question is, will the superiors agree to his request?" I asked anxiously.
"The superiors disagreed at first and insisted that Xiang'er merge the memories of his past life and this life. But as soon as the superiors made this request, Xiang'er jumped up and said that Lu Xianzu was his master and refused to obey. Later, his beloved disciple
The eager Lu Xianzu sent word that he agreed to Xiang'er's request, so that the memories of past and present lives do not need to be merged, but only need to coexist in one body."
Xiao relayed the Taoist priest's words to me. He seemed very excited and kept rubbing his hands together.
Haha, it’s true that a crying child will get milk.
My emotions seemed to be soothed and I no longer said anything. Xianger has grown up and he can control everything by himself. I firmly believe that he will not leave me, never.
I thought about it and fell asleep deeply.
At 6:50 in the morning, I struggled to get up because Yaoer started going to school today. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in January, the children have been staying at home and taking online classes. It has been almost half a year, and today they are finally going to school.
After Yao'er had breakfast, I prepared to send him to school. I put a Guanyin pendant around his neck, saying it could protect him, and he happily put it on.
I looked at Yao'er and said in my heart: "Baby, your brother Xiang'er has been granted the title of Emperor Dong in the underworld. You have to work hard and make a difference in the future."
After sending Yao'er to school and returning home, I burned incense for Xiang'er, congratulated him, hoped that everything went well for him, was happy, and asked him to visit me when he had time.
However, happy news seems unable to keep me happy forever.
Throughout the day, I still felt oppressed and felt out of place. I told Xiao about it, and he said that I just felt a sense of loss, and that it was probably difficult for me to accept the feeling of Xiang'er becoming an adult overnight.
Maybe, I hope.
At about nine o'clock in the night, I lit cigarettes for them one by one to congratulate them on their promotions. After watching each cigarette smoked cleanly, I seemed to feel much better.
I asked Xiao to go and see Xianger. I wanted to know what he looks like now, how mature he is. When the child gets older, the mother will get older.
Xiao happily escaped.
I lit a cigarette for my father and said, "Dad, congratulations on becoming an official. I am glad that you have been put in charge of the city's taxation work. Your workload will be very heavy in the future. Fortunately, you also had work experience in that area during your lifetime.
We are all familiar with each other."
As I was talking, the burning cigarette went out automatically. I felt strange, so I lit it again, but the cigarette went out again. I thought it was my father who was losing his temper, but why was he angry? Is it because he couldn't go to the ceremony?
"Oh, but I can't help you apply. The level is not enough, and besides, I can't go." I said quietly.
I waited boredly for Xiao to wake up. Only when he wakes up would I get relevant news.
"It was so fun. I looked arrogant and lay on the imperial concubine chair in the Li Mansion the whole time, enjoying the beauty's massage, delicious food and wine." Xiao said after returning.
"Tell me about Xiang'er." I said eagerly.
"Xian'er is now 2 meters tall, in his 20s, and very handsome. His hairstyle is ancient, with his hair tied up high in a bun. He wears a black Dragon Emperor uniform and his voice is also mature."
As I listened, I imagined Xianger's image in my mind: handsome, handsome, majestic...
During this trip, Xiao also learned about the specific management structure of Underworld, and he kept bragging to me.
However, after all the talk, I never heard what I wanted to hear, so I couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't Xianger even ask you to send me a message?"
After Xiao heard this, he remained silent and suddenly looked a little strange, looking down at his cell phone.
When I saw Xiao's condition, I felt unhappy.
I walked into the bedroom with heavy steps, sulked alone, shed tears, and thought angrily:
"Xian'er, you have really grown up and don't want a mother anymore! I can't force you, anyway, I'm doing my best."
Chapter completed!
