Chapter 213 The Goddess Blessed
Anyway, after the kitchen sacrifice, the two of them reconciled.
Gu Chenran and others made sure that Wen Ling's hair was completely dry before tying it up with a hairband.
Unless she is going out or attending some formal occasions, Wen Ling doesn't like complicated hair accessories. The simpler the better.
In her words, it was so easy to pull that it hurt her scalp.
Now after washing her hair, Wen Ling has her long hair tied up with a hairband. Her hair looks a little frizzy with some fine hairs sticking out.
She climbed up from the bed with a grunt and half-knelt on the bed. She really looked like a furry and harmless little animal.
Especially her eyes were incredibly bright and full of spirit.
Gu Chenran only felt that his heart and eyes were filled with her, and even his nose and surroundings were filled with the unique scent of Wen Ling.
Wen Ling patted the bed beside him and said, "Have you washed up? If you are not angry anymore, come up and rest with us!"
Gu Chenran went to bed without hesitation. It was already dark and it was time to go to bed.
He leaned forward and blew out the light.
They lay side by side in the darkness. Gu Chenran reached out and felt around. After touching Wen Ling's warm little hand, he hesitated for a moment and then held Wen Ling's hand.
Wen Ling's hand obviously stiffened for a moment, but after a long while, Wen Ling did not pull her hand out of his palm.
Gu Chenran's body, which had involuntarily tensed up, also relaxed.
Then he felt ecstatic in his heart. Their relationship had finally taken a step forward!
Before, when they went to bed at night, Wen Ling would only hug him when they were asleep and unconscious, but now it was different. Now she held his hand while they were still awake and conscious!
Do you know what this means? It means that Wen Ling does not reject his approach!
He can hold Wen Ling’s hand today, kiss her lips tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow…
The more Gu Chenran thought about it, the more excited he became, and the faster his heart beat.
When he was so excited that he broke into a sweat, he noticed that Wen Ling's breathing next to him had become steady and long.
He actually fell asleep so heartlessly again!
Gu Chenran took a deep breath and reminded himself in his heart not to get too excited too early and to be restrained.
He still has a heart in his chest that does not belong to him, and even his heartbeat does not completely belong to him.
He may have some mental mysophobia, or maybe he just has some grudges.
He just couldn't accept doing anything more in-depth with Wen Ling, not even kissing, when he still had another person's heartbeat in his body.
Because who knows whether his senses may be shared with that evil god because of his evil heart.
He would never allow that evil god to defile Wen Ling in the slightest!
I originally wanted to discuss with Wen Ling what would happen tomorrow and discuss it in advance.
As a result, he gradually fell asleep while thinking about all sorts of things.
The next morning he was still woken up by the noise of Wen Ling getting up.
Wen Ling was shocked to see Gu Chenran staring at her with a pair of huge dark circles under his eyes like a giant panda. "No, why do you look so bad? Did you not sleep well last night? You look like something has sucked all your energy away..."
Gu Chenran didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that he had restrained himself the whole night.
He could only make up an excuse: "I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a little worried about what will happen today."
Wen Ling believed it: "Oh, it's because of this. I thought something was wrong with you. Don't worry. I saw how capable this goddess is yesterday.
I guess if she wants to do something big today, she will need the help of magic tools.
And her main target today must be you or me. You can help increase the power of my spiritual power and double the power.
So all you have to do today is follow me closely, and I will make sure they get their wish of “stealing the spotlight”. ”
Gu Chenran saw the subtle smile on Wen Ling's face and knew that she must have some plans of her own: "Don't worry, I will follow you closely today and will never leave you for even a step!"
Gu Chenran smiled as he spoke. His radiant look with a pair of panda eyes looked really strange. Well, it was easy for people to think of something wrong.
Wen Ling and Gu Chenran dressed up again today to attend the palace banquet.
Wen Ling didn't care what she wore, but when Gu Chenran saw the goddess's female clothing, a dress that looked simple but was actually very expensive, he developed a damn desire to win.
So after Wen Ling changed back into women's clothes today, it was Gu Chenran who arranged her dressing from head to toe, and it was so exquisite even down to the last detail of her hair.
Today, even the inconspicuous little pearls on Wen Ling's sleeves are pure natural purple pearls picked from hundreds of East China Sea pearls.
Wen Ling’s outfit today embodies what is noble and luxurious.
Just when Gu Chenran was struggling with where to put a hairpin in Wen Ling's hair, Wen Ling finally couldn't help it. She raised her hand weakly: "If you wear a few more of these hairpins, I won't be able to lift my head."
Gu Chenran had no choice but to give up.
When Wen Ling appeared at the palace banquet, it caused a huge sensation as expected.
Wen Ling is usually stunning with just a little bit of dressing up. Today, after being carefully dressed up by Gu Chenran, she is so radiant that she amazes everyone.
The moment Wen Ling appeared, the entire Crescent Lake, with its beautiful spring scenery, seemed to have lost its color.
In everyone's eyes, Gu Chenran's hair was raised as if he was a peacock proudly spreading its tail.
A wife’s beauty is her husband’s glory!
And the real beauty is being beautiful without knowing it, which is what Wen Ling is like.
She didn't notice how beautiful she was today. Instead, she asked Gu Chenran curiously, "Is there something on my face today? Why are people looking at me?"
This made her a little nervous and she didn't dare to show any expression on her face.
Wen Ling's cold face made her look even more holy, glowing with beauty, so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her face.
Gu Chenran leaned over to Wen Ling's ear and whispered to her firmly, "Your face is full of beauty today."
Wen Ling: “…”
She turned her head and glanced at Gu Chenran, her face full of disgust and indescribable: "When did you start learning this kind of cheesy love talk? Listen to me, it's not good to be so abstract."
"Earthy love talk?" It was the first time that Gu Chenran heard this adjective.
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that Wen Ling was praising him.
Gu Chenran: “…”
Forget it, Wen Ling is still the same Wen Ling, nothing has changed.
He should just do his job quietly, and stop saying sweet words to him.
After arriving at the palace banquet venue, men and women sat at separate tables, and the two of them also separated, and Wen Ling sat down at the female guests' table.
She actually had two choices. One was to be the head of all civil and military officials because she was the Great Heavenly Master.
The second one was sitting in the ladies' seats, but she was disgusted by the group of men drinking and bragging together over there among the civil and military officials.
She likes to drink, doesn't like to brag, and doesn't like the stinky smell of alcohol from men.
So she decisively chose to sit with Xiangxiang's female guests.
The eldest princess brought her daughter to attend the palace banquet today. The little girl who was brought home because of Wen Ling has now grown into a graceful young lady after training and careful teaching.
She looks 80% similar to the eldest princess, but her facial features are softer and her temperament seems very gentle.
Compared with before, she is now two completely different people. If they just passed by each other on the street, Wen Ling would not recognize her.
When the princess saw Wen Ling coming, she immediately asked her daughter to come forward and pay her respects to Wen Ling.
Gu Mingzhu stepped forward and bowed directly to Wen Ling, showing the highest courtesy: "Mingzhu greets my savior, Master Ling, and Princess Chen."
Among all of Wen Ling’s identities, princess is only ranked last.
Gu Mingzhu stepped forward and made such a move, and General Huo's children Huo Hui and Huo Cong were also pushed to the front by Madam Huo.
The two children were also very smart. After being pushed to the front, they immediately gave a big bow: "Xiaohui, Xiaocong, meet the lifesaver, meet Ling Tianshi, meet Princess Chen!"'
There were also several women and children whom Wen Ling had met before and had warned against murder when they saw signs of them being murdered. They also came out at this moment and saluted Wen Ling in unison.
This scene... is really a unique scenery...
Wen Ling was so frightened that she took a big step back: "No, no, no, there is no need to do this. Everyone knows me. I don't like others to show me such courtesy. Hurry up and get up. Since we are all old acquaintances, we can just get along more easily."
Seeing that everyone was still half-kneeling and not moving, Wen Ling could only go up and help Gu Mingzhu up first.
After Gu Mingzhu was helped up, the others who were kneeling in a row stood up.
After Wen Ling took his seat, the Eighth Princess came over and bumped her shoulder with Wen Ling, smiling: "Amazing! It's been a while since we last met, and you've become a first-class great celestial master, and you've become even more handsome, and you're so respected. I'm so happy for you!"
Wen Ling glanced at the Eighth Princess and raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong? Is it because Bai Mo is not around you recently that you are upset? Your life has been too comfortable, so you want to tease me and seek excitement?"
The Eighth Princess immediately begged for mercy: "No, no, how could it be possible? I was really happy for you, so I didn't tease you. Now my father wants to worship you as an ancestor. You are also my ancestor. How dare I tease you?"
Wen Ling drank the tea brewed by the Eighth Princess, which meant that she didn't take the Eighth Princess's teasing seriously.
The Eighth Princess really likes Wen Ling. She not only has the kind of awe that she has for the Heavenly Master, but also a kind of closeness like a younger sister has for an older sister. She always has a feeling of wanting to be close to Wen Ling.
She sat down next to Wen Ling affectionately, intending to tell Wen Ling about the recent gossips that had happened in the capital.
The Eighth Princess said, "Did you know that the news of the goddess coming to the capital has been making a lot of noise recently? I heard that it will be decided today which prince the goddess will marry, and the goddess will choose which prince herself.
If the goddess can successfully select the prince designated by their gods today and decide on him, their gods will bless us. ”
"Really? What blessing?" Wen Ling asked curiously.
The Eighth Princess told Wen Ling the gossip she had heard: "You should know that there is little rain in the north of Dayong all year round, which has led to low crop yields over there. However, the Yue Kingdom, which is very close to us in the north and only separated by a grassland, has had good weather and good harvests in recent years. The grassland grass is abundant, so their cattle, sheep and horses are raised very well.
The Great Khan of the Moon Kingdom said that this was because their new goddess brought blessings, and wherever she was, there would be good weather and good harvests.
If any prince of Dayong married the goddess, the blessings that the goddess brought would surely bless the northern part of Dayong with good weather and harvests. ”
Wen Ling always felt that something was strange. She asked, "If the goddess is blessed by nature, then she would be a great treasure to the Yue Kingdom. Why would they take the initiative to marry the goddess to us?"
It is obviously unreasonable to give the blessings of your own country to other countries. ”
"Yes, so they have conditions." The eldest princess next to her said.
The eldest princess knew more. Her eyes were filled with mockery. "There are no fools who can become the ruler of a country in this world. The population of Yue Country has skyrocketed because of the good weather and good harvests.
However, their country is short of supplies, and they need to buy salt, spices and many other things from Dayong.
The horse fairs held twice a year before could no longer meet the population needs of their country, so they sent the goddess here to marry, claiming that she could bless our Dayong with good weather and good harvests.
The only condition of the exchange is that we want Dayong to open a regular horse market on the northern border, at least once a month, so that the people of Yue can buy enough necessary supplies. ”
The Eighth Princess asked in confusion, "But I heard that the horses in the Moon Country are very good, and they always come to us to buy. If we open more horse markets, can't we make more money from them? Why not?"
"Because if the horse market is open all year round, the country that will benefit the most will definitely be the Moon Country, as they can stockpile a large amount of supplies.
The horses of Yue Kingdom are of better breed than ours, and the people of Yue Kingdom are stronger than us. For them, the most important thing that can hold them back is supplies.
Once they have enough supplies, their country can expand its army. If they are greedy, they may attack our border town.
So this is why our horse market is only open twice a year. ”
We can't just not open a horse market at all, because the supplies in Yue Kingdom and the surrounding countries are so scarce that the people there can't survive. If we force them into a desperate situation, they might take risks and desperately attack the border cities to steal supplies.
Therefore, the horse market at the border has always been a very tricky issue.
It cannot be closed, nor can it be opened all the time.
The Eighth Princess was a member of the royal family after all, so she understood almost instantly.
The Eighth Princess showed a look of disdain on her face: "How beautiful that goddess must be, how blessed she must be, to have the nerve to make such a request."
Just after the Eighth Princess finished her complaints, there was a noise outside.
I saw white mist rising at the door, and a graceful figure appeared in the mist.
If this person isn’t a goddess, then who is she?
