The wedding of Little Gem and White Jade was also very grand, but the pink pearl that he had been longing for was ultimately given to Linglong by Mingyue to be used as a necklace.
Every time Mingyue saw him, she was furious. The two never spoke to each other again.
Until Mingyue's second child was born.
Sisi and Zhou Qiyan went to see the Vermilion Bird. They saw Little Gem looking at the cradle with great joy. Sisi looked at Mingyue.
"Didn't you two have a fight? Why would he agree to come? And why is he so clingy to the child?"
Mingyue remained silent with a cold expression.
On the bed, Zhuque coughed twice, weakly covering her face. "Sigh, who knows what's going on between the two of them? The second son's eyes look a bit like Little Gem's, and Mingyue got angry. Little Gem insists that the child is his."
Sisi was stunned and didn't speak for a long time before saying, "How can you talk nonsense like this?"
"Yes, it's all Little Gem's fault!"
Zhuque got angry just thinking about it and tried to get up, but Mingyue couldn't bear to see her move, so she quickly stepped forward and said, "You just gave birth, so don't get up. I'll help you with whatever you want to do. Just tell me what you need."
"You're not angry with me anymore?"
His expression was unnatural. "I... I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with Little Gem. Who told him to talk nonsense?"
Zhuque pouted, "Oh, I thought you were trying to make me angry. That child doesn't look like you at all. Maybe he really is Little Gem."
Little Gem, with its sharp ears, laughed upon hearing this and chimed in, "This is my child!"
Mingyue's face darkened. "Don't talk nonsense."
"You started talking nonsense."
Zhuque's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat from speaking those two sentences. Mingyue felt sorry for him and wiped it with a handkerchief, saying softly, "It was my fault, I apologize to you."
"snort."
"I'm going to deal with that scoundrel!"
Mingyue grabbed Xiao Baoshi by the scruff of his neck and carried him outside, where the two began to fight.
Sisi glanced at the baby in the cradle and laughed, "The eyes of the Vermilion Bird and the Snake Clan are similar, so it's normal that they look alike. This Mingyue is just jealous for no reason."
"He's got nothing better to do than get jealous."
Zhuque casually quipped, then smiled with satisfaction, "Now we have both a son and a daughter. In a few hundred years, my son will be able to marry your daughter."
Sisi raised an eyebrow. "Maybe my daughter doesn't like her little brother. Don't speak too soon."
"Impossible, my son likes everyone."
Sisi and Zhou Qiyan left after a short time.
Peach petals fluttered everywhere in the Heavenly Palace, which was very beautiful. Sisi caught a petal and curled the corners of her lips. "Mingyue is just like you, always getting jealous."
Zhou Qi scoffed, "I'm naturally jealous, I'm not like him."
Sisi clearly didn't believe it.
"You still haven't told me what Feng Yue came to see you for last night?" As he spoke, he blurted out a sarcastic remark, "He looks exactly like me. In the dark, don't mistake him for someone else."
He was away all night last night, and that slut Feng Yue took advantage of the situation.
Sisi pinched her ear and said deliberately, "It seems like he mistook me for someone else. He tried to kiss me yesterday, but I was half asleep and didn't remember..."
He abruptly dropped her hand, hands on his hips, and shouted angrily, "What did you say?!"
"I said, yesterday..."
"I'm going to kill him!" Zhou Qiyan interrupted her, turning to descend to the mortal realm. Sisi grabbed his sleeve, saying helplessly, "How could you not tell the difference?"
"I'm angry."
"Alright, you're a father of two now."
Zhou Qiyan grunted twice, but ultimately said nothing more.
Thinking back to last night, Sisi frowned. Feng Yue came over, gave her two pieces of jade, and then left. The jade was carved by his own hand, and it wasn't shaped like two children.
It was a picture of her and Zhou Qiyan.
Or perhaps, it's the way she and he look.
There were many cracks in the jade, with blood seeping into them, which he had carved out by hand, one stroke at a time.
If Zhou Qiyan knew about this, he would be furious. After thinking it over, he decided not to say anything.
A few months later, Baiyu's child was born. She was an egg-laying child, and Little Gem was very proud of herself. She would carry the egg around the Heavenly Palace all day long, showing it off to everyone she met.
He even showed it off in front of the bright moon.
The bright moon couldn't be bothered with it.
When Linglong was one year old, Zhou Qiyan asked the Old Man of the Moon for two red strings and asked Yu Jing if he liked Linglong.
Yu Jing said she liked it.
Zhou Qiyan then ordered him to tie Linglong's hands, which infuriated Mingyue.
"You...you actually did such a thing?"
"It's your Linglong's good fortune that my Yujing likes you, what are you talking about?"
"You scoundrel!"
"What? Are you afraid that my Yujing is not good enough for your Linglong?" Zhou Qiyan was a little too smug.
Let him keep thinking about his daughter, I'll just kidnap her myself first, let him be angry, hahaha.
Mingyue held a grudge.
When Yutang turned three, his youngest son Qingyun was two years old. He followed Zhou Qiyan's example and also learned to be ruthless and unjust.
Zhou Qi was so angry that he didn't speak to him for a month.
Mingyue was overjoyed. She carried her son to the main hall all day long, then shoved him next to Yutang and went to find Zhou Qiyan in a sarcastic tone.
"What did your dad send you here for this time?"
Yu Tang pinched Qing Yun's little face, her childish voice tinged with anger, "Your dad is a big bad guy, he's deliberately trying to annoy my dad!"
Qingyun shook her head, her words stammering, "No...no..."
"How can it not be? It is! Your dad is here to bully my dad! Your dad is a big bad guy, you little stutterer!"
Qingyun happily earned the nickname "Little Stutterer".
He felt wronged, but he was too young to argue back, so he could only silently endure it.
When he grows up, he will definitely rebel.
...
Nothing happened in the Ghost Realm today, so Feng Yue went to see the Eldest Princess. It had been so long since he last visited her, and she had changed a lot.
Her once spirited eyes had dimmed, and her jet-black hair hung down her sides. She used to love brightly colored clothes, but now she was only dressed in white, sitting on the couch, her gaze quietly fixed on the plum blossoms in the courtyard.
"Your Highness."
The princess's eyes flickered. "You're back."
"Um."
Feng Yue stood by the window, looking at the bunch of plum blossoms with her, his expression calm.
"A-Yue, what do you think I should do?"
The eldest princess chuckled to herself, "Yu Xue has been in a coma, so he has been staying by her side the whole time. The other day, I was so angry that I went to Yu Xue's residence to have her taken away. Fu Yuan got angry and slapped me."
She stroked her cheek. "You've never dared to hit me, A-Yue, do you understand?"
Feng Yue's expression remained indifferent. "Your Highness, you know perfectly well that you should let go instead of clinging to Fu Yuan. He doesn't love you."
"I always hold onto hope."
The princess smiled, but tears fell first. "I always thought he loved me, but I don't understand why, why doesn't he love me?"
