Chapter 473: Jiji Extra (End) Two-in-One Chapter
"There is a whirlpool down there, my husband, ah ah ah——" Xun Pei'er herself was dizzy from the shaking, but she did not forget to remind Jiji.
Gigi curled his lips confidently, jumped up, and landed steadily on the raft.
"Don't worry." His voice was loud enough to be heard over the waves. "The water is high now, and the whirlpool below can't affect us."
Only then did Xun Peier realize that the sea level had risen a lot at some point, almost reaching the same level as the island they were on.
"Will the sea water flood this island?" Xun Pei'er asked, and then she realized that it definitely wouldn't.
If it had been flooded, all the living things on the island, including the bones of the immortal, would not have been able to survive for such a long time.
She turned her gaze towards the crocodiles and found that they were all submerged in the water shallowly, washing off the dryness from being exposed to the sun during the day.
No wonder they can lie motionless on the cliff edge, because the sea water does not come up every night.
"Hold me tight, Pearl," Gigi called her attention back.
"Okay." Xun Pei'er never asked why her husband asked her to do something.
She hugged Gigi's waist tightly, buried her head in his chest, and didn't dare to relax at all.
There were raging waves in my ears, the storm on the sea was like a dragon's roar, and the bamboo raft under my feet kept rolling, and a few times it even seemed like it was about to capsize.
The waves rushed up, soaking her legs, back and even her hair.
Will they be drowned by the sea?
Xun Pei'er felt her husband waving his arms constantly and muttering words that she could not understand. He must be fighting against the waves.
…
She didn't know how long it had been, she only knew that her whole body was soaked by the waves, her arms holding Gigi were stiff, and the shaking of the bamboo raft slowly subsided.
"Are you okay? How do you feel?" Jiji hurriedly transferred spiritual power to Xun Peier to replenish her strength and dry her clothes.
In fact, his spiritual power had been exhausted at this time, but he knew that Pearl needed his help more.
Pei'er felt a slight warmth flowing through her body, and looking at the bright sun above her head, she felt much better both physically and mentally.
"We, escaped?" she asked softly.
"Yes, we escaped." Gigi touched her cheek comfortingly.
"That's great!" Xun Pei'er breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh!" She was shocked again when she saw the raft under her was rolling and there was not even a rope between the trees.
Seeing her unpredictable expression, Gigi secretly laughed: "It's okay, I used my spiritual power to fix it."
"My dear husband, your spiritual power is truly amazing." Xun Pei'er said somewhat uneasily, "Is there another physiognomist who would be more suitable to be your wife?"
Gigi frowned: "Why do you suddenly think so?"
Xun Peier pouted: "I knew you were great before, but I didn't know you were this great. I feel, I feel, we are not suitable for each other."
"Don't ever think like that!" Jiji suddenly yelled, which scared Xun Peier in turn.
"I'm sorry, I got too excited just now." He patted Pei'er's little head. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today."
"Then you should never forget your wife in the future." Xun Pei'er added.
"Of course not." Gigi realized that she had deliberately made him promise and scratched her nose. "Look how cunning you are."
The two floated on the bamboo raft for two days. Jiji was of course fine, but even though Xun Peier was constantly being fed spiritual power, her body was getting weaker and weaker.
They finally returned to the port and stayed in a nearby inn.
The boatmen were amazed to see them return safely.
Of course, some crew members did not believe that they had really gone to the island and said that they were just being mysterious.
But does this matter?
Nothing is more important than Pearl's well-being.
After drinking the hot ginger soup, Pei'er curled up in the bed with the quilt and asked Gigi who was standing beside her.
"Husband, if you see those green lights, will you understand the secrets in the book?"
"Not yet." said Gigi.
"Ah... if we had known, we should have stayed a little longer." Pearl said disappointedly.
But Gigi said, "No need. Although I still don't understand what the green constellation means, it can help me better understand the changes in the constellations on a daily basis, which is more useful to me than the green light."
Also saw the future of the Xia Dynasty.
There is no eternal dynasty and no fixed trajectory.
Pei'er was delighted: "Then you can teach me in the future, okay?"
"No problem." Gigi tucked the quilt in for her. "Rest a little longer."
The long journey made Pearl exhausted and she soon fell asleep.
Gigi held her hand and was reluctant to let go.
With this affection, he wanted to get closer to his wife even more, but he didn't dare to do so because he was busy traveling.
If so, if she is pregnant, how can she travel?
Because they had taken five or six years of leave, and in order to reassure Xun Pei'er, they also spent a year or two traveling around.
Honest Gigi waited for several more years.
Everyone who saw them would say they were a perfect couple, but little did they know that they had been married for five or six years and had never even had a bridal chamber.
…
After a long journey, Jiji finally returned to the capital. He settled Xun Pei'er down and then went to the palace to meet the emperor.
At this time, everyone in the capital had already left, and the master had left with the fox fairy. The senior sisters and the others had also left, leaving behind meaningless farewell letters.
He was the only one left in this capital city.
"It's been five years, Chen Zhe, you're finally back." Although the emperor had originally promised five years, seeing that he hadn't come back for so long, he also felt that "he had run away."
Jiji said respectfully, "I am fortunate to have the emperor's trust. I dare not let him down."
"Well, then, tell me what you found?" the emperor asked. "Whatever it is, just tell me."
Jiji pondered and said, "Your Majesty, there is no eternal dynasty in this world."
"I know this." The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
Jiji organized his speech. "Generally speaking, the stars are divided into Ziweiyuan, Taiweiyuan, and Tianshiyuan. Ziwei represents the imperial palace. The front of Ziwei is bright, and the back is dim. This implies that the Xia Dynasty will be prosperous during this period, but will later become lonely. In the third or fourth generation, the dynasty may change hands."
Even though he was mentally prepared, the emperor still sighed: "Is there any way to change it?"
"Your Majesty can change, but the stars and the future are closely linked. Changes may be for the better or for the worse."
"So, I suggest that Your Majesty be yourself, be considerate of the people, and have a clear conscience."
The emperor sighed heavily.
I feel relieved for my own peace, but also feel sorry for the loneliness of future generations.
…
The two men talked from afternoon till dusk, discussing everything from physiognomy and astrology to the joys and sorrows of life. Jiji, who had spent the past few years away from home, had observed the lives of the common people and told the emperor everything.
He was in charge of the Imperial Observatory and had no vested interests with the officials under him, so the emperor was particularly convinced of his words and subsequently sent officials to inspect and rectify those county towns with problems.
Everyone knew that Shen Zhe was going to be promoted. Some people congratulated him, while others were jealous.
But Gigi’s main focus right now is not this matter. It’s just a promotion, which is just the icing on the cake.
He had two more important things on his mind.
One is whether the person who wanted to kidnap Pearl was caught.
The other is to make up for the marriage of Pei'er who has accompanied him through all the ups and downs.
After finishing the conversation with the emperor, Jiji did not go home, but went straight to his father-in-law's house, which was the residence of Minister Xun.
First he was scolded... for taking Pei'er away for five or six years without saying a word.
Then he sighed and said that if he hadn't taken her away, Pearl might never have come back.
There may have been several families who kidnapped Pei'er back then, and they were united. The Xun family could rely on their own foundation to remain unmoved by them, but there was no way to eradicate them.
Now that Chen Zhe is back, the court is about to undergo another major reshuffle.
When the emperor made an exception and brought him to the court, no one would have thought that he would become an important official who could shake the power of the court.
As for the second thing...
To be honest, Pearl no longer has the qualities that make her a beauty in the capital today.
She has fair skin, is weak, and has tears in her eyes. I feel so sorry for her.
She used to be the most typical beauty in Beijing, but now her skin is tanned and not so fragile. She is happy every day, not to mention tears in her eyes.
But Gigi just likes it.
He customized a brand new wedding dress for Xun Pei'er and asked her to wear it at her wedding ceremony, with a red veil covering her entire face.
"Oh, my husband, why did you come all the way here?"
Even through the red veil, Gigi could guess her pouting expression of dissatisfaction.
“This is different.”
"What's different?"
It took Gigi a long time to confess honestly: "Last time, last time, didn't I lift the veil? The ceremony was not completed, or it was almost done."
In fact, this is a secondary purpose. The main purpose is to find a reason to spend the wedding night.
Based on the past five or six years of getting along, Gigi was very skeptical about whether Pearl knew what a bridal chamber was like.
In her young mind, marriage meant two people sleeping in the same bed together at night...
How could he do it without finding an excuse?
"Oh, it's okay. Am I the kind of person who cares about those little details?" Xun Peier "generously" forgave Gigi.
Her personality has become more carefree than before.
Gigi was devastated for a while, but under his continuous verbal offensive, Xun Peier finally agreed.
The two of them did not invite any guests, but simply repeated the same steps.
And then...
Then, Pearl scolded Gigi for being cunning.
In the end, the two had a boy.
I don’t know how my master and senior sisters knew about it, but they all sent gifts from far away places, including various magical instruments and elixirs.
Should we teach this child to practice cultivation?
This is an issue that needs to be discussed with my wife.
"Learn! You must learn! There is a ready-made teacher here, so why would you waste it?" The fierce lady seemed to have very high expectations for her son.
"Anyway, you have to teach them anyway..." The lady put away her fierceness and showed a pitiful expression, "It's not a big deal to add me in as well, right?"
Gigi: “…”
