"No, I just think there's not much point in trying this kind of person."
Chaoyan said disappointedly, "Even if he is steadfast, if the man who really stays together for life is like him, it will not be exciting."
"Why are they all like him?"
Shangguan De sneered, "Thousands of people are like this. In this world, there are as many types of marriages as there are people. Even the men who stay with their wives are all different."
"So, brother, can you find me a normal one who is neither reckless nor hypocritical? I have almost lost confidence in men."
Chaoyan depressedly asked him for help
"Silly girl, don't lose confidence in a hurry"
Shangguan De smiled and told Yuan Luo: "Yuan Luo, please step back first."
After hearing this, Yuan Luo bowed and turned into a ray of red light, running into the clouds in the sky.
"There are many good men, such as your brother Qin Zheng, and me, they are all good people."
Shangguande saw Yuan Luo off and came over and said to her with a smile.
"Ah...my philandering brother and you...?"
Chaoyan was obviously shocked by his sudden lack of modesty.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm much better than your troublesome brother."
There was an evil smile in Shangguan De's confident eyes, "At least, I didn't do anything like the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard."
"That's because you are not the emperor"
Chaoyan retorted without thinking
"Miss Chaoyan, who do you think is more noble, the emperor on earth or the heavenly master of Jiuyou?"
Shangguande asked rhetorically
"This... okay, brother, I was wrong."
Only then did Chaoyan realize his noble status: That's right, although he looks so easy-going and friendly, he is actually the deity who can compete with the heaven, and he is equal to the emperor of the demon world!
Thinking of this, she looked up at Shangguan De in disbelief.
"What are you looking at?"
Shangguan De felt uncomfortable as she stared at her intently, and couldn't help but take a step back.
"I feel strange"
Chaoyan tilted his head and looked at him, "Although you are so handsome and noble, why haven't you married several women? Don't you, Shangguan brother, be a womanizer?"
"Not close to women?"
After hearing this, Shangguan De couldn't help but burst out laughing, laughing so hard that his waist bent; finally he stopped, tilted his head and asked: "Do you really think so, that I am not a good person who is close to women?"
"Uh? What do you mean? Are you also lustful?"
Chaoyan was frightened by the bright light in his eyes, and suddenly remembered what he had said about men. Fang felt a little regretful for his words: "I was wrong. I suddenly remembered that if you don't get close to women,
You wouldn’t say those bastard things about all men being lecherous. You’re actually a big **** too.”
"You finally got it right for once, Miss Chaoyan"
Shangguan De didn't mind that she said he was a big bastard, he still smiled and nodded, "But I don't like all kinds of things. Only really beautiful and lovely beauties can win my favor. Although I have never married any woman,
From the Fairy of the Nine Heavens to the demons of the Nine Nethers, every woman thinks that those who sit in my carriage and get on my carriage are all beautiful and fragrant; there is not a single person with mediocre looks."
"Why?"
Chao Yan saw him looking at her and carefully understood the meaning of his words. She couldn't help but blush, "Could it be that I, am also a beauty?"
"Don't you think so?"
Shangguan De leaned down and approached her, his bright eyes were as hot as flames. The eastern sun slowly rose from behind him, and the dazzling light covered his handsome face. The golden light made Chaoyan feel a little blind.
Don't open your eyes
"Well, it's really, really surprising. I thought I was ordinary..."
Chaoyan blushed shyly at first, but soon she opened her mouth and showed a silly smile: "I like to hear people praise me most. Since you have already praised me, then praise me a few more times!"
"Um?"
Shangguan De was choked by her straightforward conversation. He stopped approaching her, stared at her expectant face, suddenly smiled, gently pinched her round face and said: "Are you still the best?"
What a little girl!"
He laughed, let go of his hand, and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, Miss Chaoyan, do you want to continue checking?"
"No, but I just won't admit defeat!"
Chaoyan shook his head, "I think there must be some good men in this world, but there are too few, so I didn't find them."
"oh?"
Shangguan De straightened his body slightly and asked calmly: "Girl, are you still determined to give up?"
"I don't want to give up... However, I have given up on brother Qin Zheng..."
Chaoyan announced in frustration.
"Why?"
"Because he is not the kind of good man I thought he was, but I fell in love with this imperfect man..."
Chaoyan sighed helplessly, "It's true that I can't help myself!... I just figured it out, brother Qin Zheng is the emperor after all, and he will definitely not give up his country or the things that are related to him because of me.
The concubine I have been in love with for many years has chosen me, whom I have only known for less than a year, so I decided not to go back to see him again, or to look for the remaining spirit beads by myself. Maybe I will forget him over time."
"Miss Chaoyan, don't be so hasty in drawing conclusions."
Shangguan De smiled mysteriously, "As long as you are willing, we can give it a try. Maybe he is willing to give up everything for you!"
"impossible……"
Chaoyan categorically denied, shook his head and said: "No flower lover is willing to give up a garden for a flower. The fact that he is still in the mood to favor other women after I left shows that I am not the most important thing to him."
"Well"
Seeing her such straightforward assertion, Shangguan De stopped trying to persuade her and could only nod his head to show his understanding and said, "Then, girl, you can continue to look for the lost spirit beads. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay in my house."
It's the place where you went when you first met me. Just go there. I still have some personal things to take care of. I need to leave for a while. My two Taoist boys will understand what's going on when they see you. You don't have to explain to them.
"
"Huh?"
Chaoyan looked at him with gratitude and surprise, blinked and asked, "Brother Shangguan, are you going to be gone for a long time?"
“It’s only a few days.”
Shangguan De gently stroked her delicate double bun, his eyes were soft and warm: "Miss Chaoyan, just stay here and slowly look for the spirit beads. You don't need to worry about the rest. My two children will take care of you."
"
"Brother Shangguan, you are such a good person...why do you want to help me so much?"
While Chao Yan was grateful, he could not help but have some doubts: Jiuyou's Heavenly Lord is the Demon Lord in the mouth of the gods in the upper world. Good and evil have never existed at all since ancient times. Why would he help an unknown stupid immortal like himself?
"have no idea"
But Shangguan De gave her an unexpected answer very directly: "I just feel that I have some affinity with you, as if I owed you something in my previous life, and I just want to help you. Miss Chaoyan, fly west from here. Just outside the Imperial Capital, you can see my mansion. Go quickly, it's time for Pindao to leave. I'll see you later."
As he spoke, he nodded briefly, and then an auspicious cloud rose under his feet, holding him up and slowly flying towards the south.
The sky is bright, the sun shines high in the blue sky, piercing the white clouds
In the Zhenggan Hall, neatly dressed civil and military officials stood waiting anxiously, often going to the empty dragon chairs above.
After a while, I saw an eunuch wearing a yellow palace shirt and a black gauze hat walking out of the side door next to Danxi with a white whisk in his arms. He stepped up to the tall Danxi and stood under the dragon chair facing the civil and martial arts of the court. : "The Emperor has decreed that I am not feeling well and will not attend court today!"
"I honor your decree, long live long live long live!"
Although the ministers below were obviously dissatisfied and looked suspicious, they still knelt down and kowtowed.
"Is Your Majesty sick?"
"Don't make random guesses!" After standing up, someone whispered to the colleagues around them. They walked out of the hall talking in succession, looking very disappointed because they had not seen the face of their king, Qin Zheng, for more than ten days in a row.
"Eunuch Zhao! Please stay!"
The man at the front wearing a scarlet official uniform got up from the ground but did not leave in a hurry, but waved to him
"Hey! It's Mr. Xiangguo!"
The eunuch was none other than Zhao Xuan. When he saw that the person waving below was none other than Jia Fu, the most trusted minister of Qin Zheng, he walked down in small steps with a pleasant look, held the fly whisk in his arms and asked with a smile: "Master Xiangguo, what do you want? Order?"
"Oh, I dare you, Eunuch Zhao, to ask your Majesty what happened recently? I haven't gone to court for ten days."
Jia Fu asked worriedly, "Is Your Majesty really sick?"
"Alas, Lord Xiangguo"
Zhao Xuan sighed, looked around, and saw that the other ministers had already left. Fang leaned over and whispered to Jia Fu: "Since the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Princess Chaoyan suddenly ascended and disappeared. We all seemed to have lost our souls. We drank to drown our sorrows all day long. We also tried our best to look for the princess everywhere, but we couldn't find her. So your majesty fell ill. Seeing that your majesty was getting thinner and thinner, he didn't want to eat or drink. We invited the imperial doctor to see him. I don’t know what the disease is!”
"Eunuch Zhao, regarding Princess Chaoyan, what is her origin?"
Jia Fu asked with a solemn face.
"She? No one knows where she came from. She was the one we met when our Majesty was still the prince, traveling incognito."
When Zhao Xuan said this, he seemed a little excited. He always seemed to be smiling all the time, with an expression of indignation on his face:
"It makes me angry just to talk about it! We have also secretly investigated this Princess Chaoyan, but there are no clues. It's like she suddenly fell from the sky. Now it seems that she may be a monster! I don't know what she used at the beginning. The method confuses our Majesty, and His Majesty couldn't bear to abandon her, so he brought her back and made her the princess. At first, our family thought she was a good girl, but how could a good girl suddenly become so magical that we were also confused? Your Majesty is seriously ill! Now that she is gone, it is as sudden and inexplicable as she came. We have a brave and courageous king who has fallen ill. What if he is not a monster?"
