Getting married in the underworld
"Hurry up and leave! This is the unlucky ghost from the underworld that the Emperor brought back. I heard he also named him the God of Broom Stars. It's an unlucky ghost and an unlucky god. Even if I give you 800 immortal records, I can't afford this..."
The two fairy children pulled each other's robes and fled the scene as if to ward off evil spirits, leaving Yuanli petrified on the spot with a broom in her hand.
"Originally a pet by the Pluto's bedside, but unfortunately, a thread caught a ghost fire, and I became an immortal in the War God's bath. I was given the name Broom Fairy by the mansion, and everyone in heaven and on earth dislikes me. What a bad luck! What a bad luck!"
Yuanli, who was laughing at herself, was suddenly slapped by someone, and she was so frightened that she trembled violently. Looking back, she saw a handsome man with a red-edged white robe and a jade-faced face waving a flowing light fan, looking at her with a gentle smile.
The deity who could laugh so eloquently was probably the legendary, gentle and jade-like Peach Blossom Boy, the Celestial Star Lord. Moreover, he particularly enjoyed the title of Peach Blossom Boy.
"What's the matter, Mr. Peach Blossom?"
Tianshu was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, put away his fan and said, "The Emperor of Heaven sent me to assist the Star Lord in descending to the mortal world. I hope the Star Lord will take good care of me."
"Mr. Taohua, you're so polite. No problem, no problem..." Yuanli said perfunctorily with an awkward twitch of her lips.
It's not worth mentioning. When I mention Yuanli from the lower world, my heart starts to beat fast.
Heng Jin went down to the mortal world to endure tribulations, but someone leaked the news, and fairies from various palaces came to visit Siming's residence with gifts, just to seek a moment of "connection" with the mortal emperor.
The treasures piled up in front of the mansion were about to submerge the gate, but Sima Ming refused to see anyone and handed her a visiting card, which attracted a lot of disdainful looks and a mountain of broken brooms in front of the door.
The flower god who was said to be on good terms with Heng Jin came to her house in person today. He openly and covertly showed off his affection for the Emperor, hinting at her not to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Coming back to her senses, Yuanli casually tucked the broom under her armpit, crossed her hands, and intended to go home. However, a red string with a bell tied to it got entangled with the broom. Yuanli paused and leaned back suddenly, but the red string smartly supported her.
"Xingjun, it's time to go down to the mortal world."
Yuanli forced a smile on her lips in response, probably because she had seen too many little ghosts in the underworld, and her smile was as loud as the dead ghosts in the underworld, which made Tianshu Xingjun feel a chill on his back.
Tianshu hesitated for a moment before pursing his lips and giving an awkward smile, "When you descend to the lower realms, Star Lord Yuanli, please never smile at the Emperor like that again."
"Why? Not beautiful enough? The sisters in Wangchun Tower in the underworld all smile like this."
Tao Hua Lang patiently and gently said, "Where is Wangchun Tower? The Star Lord is beautiful, but the aura of the underworld is too strong. You'll be right if you listen to me, the Star Lord."
"Okay! I'll take you there next time. I'm a regular." Yuanli promised, and then looked at him in surprise. The Peach Blossom Boy who had been through so many flowers didn't even know about Wangchun Tower.
She looked him up and down with a puzzled look on her face, which made Tianshu feel a little guilty, so she asked in a low voice, "So what exactly is Wangchun Tower?"
"brothel."
Tianshu was so shocked that he choked on his saliva and started coughing violently, his cheeks turning an unnatural red.
Yuanli had just ascended to heaven and didn't know many spells yet, so Tianshu had to carry her by the scruff of her neck and bring her down to the mortal world.
Little did they know that inside the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, a man in black robes was fighting against thirty-three gods and confronting the Heavenly Emperor, demanding that he return the things stolen from the heavens...
When she first arrived in the mortal world, she saw a woman who looked just like her, dressed in gorgeous clothes, fleeing weakly. She kept looking back in panic, and her embroidered dress was stained with blood and mud, looking extremely miserable.
A carriage passed by and two village women jumped out. They tried to help her but stabbed her in the back and then fled into the woods.
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the woman was stabbed to death at Yuanli's feet. Her body fell and went straight through Yuanli's spirit.
"Go in while it's hot, Xingjun!"
"This is too immoral! He might not be dead yet..."
Before Yuanli could finish her words, Tianshu seized the opportunity and kicked her in the body. Yuanli staggered to her feet, holding her butt. Her chest and abdomen were covered in blood, which was very creepy.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yuanli tentatively called Tianshu's name softly. He chanted a spell and then floated in the air holding the Liuguang fan.
"Star Lord, you need to have the basic qualities of a wounded person. Lie down, we'll be here soon!"
Yuanli nodded solemnly, then fell straight down with a bang.
Tianshu Xingjun twitched his lips and said, "Xingjun is really a sincere person, hush."
In an instant, the startled birds in the forest scattered, and the rapid and noisy sound of horse hooves was heard. A team of black-armored guards rode their horses and came galloping over. Leading them was the majestic general in armor who jumped off his horse.
Yuanli closed her eyes tightly, concentrated, held her breath and pretended to be dead, allowing the general to hold her in his arms and ride away on his horse.
She almost vomited along the way.
It was not until the man placed her on the couch that she slowly opened her eyes. The general turned his head, and the familiar face gave her goose bumps all over her body. Heng Jin!
Even when he came down to earth, that person still had a swan-like chin and a tiger-like neck, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, sideburns piled like crows, and lips slightly upturned under his dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, but they were very rosy.
Wen Yici called the imperial physician to treat her. After taking her pulse again and again, the imperial physician said that she was just stimulated and had hit her head when she fell, so she forgot the past. Only then did he leave and report.
During this period, Yuanli couldn't stop shaking because of nervousness and fear. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he disappeared in the house.
The voice of Tianshu Xingjun came from behind: "Yuanlixian, that is Emperor Hengjin."
"I know, it looked exactly like when he drew his sword and slashed at me in the bathtub!"
Seeing her sitting on the bed and talking to herself, the maids around her couldn't help but sigh. They all felt that their princess had a brain injury, and now she was even less pleasing to her husband.
After the maid dressed her, she accompanied her to the main hall. However, the long floral skirt was too long, and when she stepped over the threshold, Yuanli lost her concentration and fell at Wen Yici's feet.
Wen Yici held the hilt of the sword, lowered his eyes and looked down at her, staring at Yuanli so hard that goose bumps appeared on her skin, and she quickly got up from the ground.
There were a man and a woman kneeling in the hall. The man was of ordinary appearance, but the woman was so beautiful that "I felt pity for her and cried." Yuanli couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
She wore a long, dark green dress. Her long, black hair was pinned with a silver, tasseled hairpin, shaped like a moon and a bamboo shadow. The tassels swayed slightly as she sobbed. Two butterfly-shaped ornaments adorned her ears. Her delicately powdered face was charming, and her curved, willow-shaped eyebrows elicited endearment.
"Your Majesty, I simply cannot be with a woman as rude and disrespectful as the princess. Please allow me to divorce her!"
The emperor was speechless and rolled his eyes. Ever since his daughter married into his family, there had been constant trouble. Every month, there would be a disturbance, either demanding a divorce or a separation. What kind of prince consort could be so unreasonable? And yet his daughter still protected him.
Yuanli immediately refused: "No."
"My heart is solely devoted to Yue'er in this life. There is no room for anyone else in my heart. I hope the princess will grant my wish!" Shen Xuhuai knelt down and kowtowed.
"This princess is a daughter of the royal family. How noble is her status? Do you have the right to ask for a divorce? You have done such a despicable thing. The fact that the Shen family is still intact is a blessing from the royal family. You are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. You are as stupid as a pig. Father, please allow me to divorce you."
Hearing this, Shen Xuhuai frowned and looked at her. The others all looked at the princess in disbelief, who was acting out of character. The hall was silent.
Only the king, with a smile almost reaching his ears, was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he immediately wrote down an imperial edict and had it read out in court.
Tianshu looked at Yuanli who had suddenly come to her senses and couldn't help but praise her, "Not bad, A'li, you know how to divorce your husband. Now you have hope for the future again."
"Star Lord, you don't know, but those quarreling ghosts in the underworld are all like this. Women have to divorce their husbands, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage." Yuanli turned away and said quietly.
"That's good, fairy. When the Emperor returns to heaven, he will forget everything that happened in the mortal world. Bring out your courage from the underworld and go for it!"
Shen Xuhuai dreamed of divorcing her, and now that she had readily agreed, she felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.
The king took her hand and kindly comforted her, telling her not to be sad and that he would find a husband for her in the future.
Before Yuanli could speak, Tianshu Xingjun floated beside Wen Yici, pointing at him and shouting, "We want him! Quick!"
She looked at Wen Yici and said tremblingly, "Father, I want to marry Wen Yici."
Hearing this, Wen Yici slowly turned his head and stared at her straight, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression unremarkable.
"Okay, grant the marriage!" The emperor wrote the imperial edict neatly again. Before the ink was dry, he stuffed it into Wen Yici's arms, looked up to the sky and laughed, then left with his hands behind his back.
After the emperor disappeared, Jiang Yue delicately helped Shen Xuhuai up and considerately adjusted his robes, acting like a wife. Before leaving, she cast a smug look at her, full of provocation.
Wen Yici walked over and stood in front of the first step. He whispered with a hint of anger, "Princess, I don't want to be a tool for you to anger Xu Huai."
"Who said you were here to annoy Xu Huai? This princess... likes you."
Yuanli put her hands behind her back and smiled faintly, stepping closer to him. Noticing him retreat, she boldly ordered, "Don't move!"
Ahri slowly moved closer until her breath sprayed on his face, making it itchy and difficult to ignore her presence.
Wen Yici's face flushed unnaturally, and his eyes were evasive, but his expression remained serious. As he looked around, he caught a glimpse of her standing on the edge of the stairs. He subconsciously opened his arms and stopped in mid-air to protect her, saying anxiously, "Princess, be careful, don't fall."
"Are you worried about me now? I guess...Aci likes me too." Yuanli followed his eyes, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows.
This scene made the battle-hardened regent general a little stunned.
Without waiting for him to speak, Yuanli slipped away from him, walked out of the palace, and ran back to the princess's palace with weak steps.
"So, the Star Lord Underworld is so courageous. I admire him."
Yuanli gasped for breath, looking at Tianshu with tears in her eyes, and said, "Lord Tianshu, my legs are weak."
As evening approached, Yuanli lay on a fox fur couch made of golden nanmu wood. Fatigue overwhelmed her and she quickly fell asleep. The man who had intruded into her dreams countless times knelt on the ground, weeping and shouting heartbreakingly. His white robe was mostly stained with blood, and her features were unclear. But every time she dreamed of him, her heart ached and she broke into a cold sweat.
The king ordered the preparations for the wedding overnight and could not wait to send her to the general's mansion. Even the shops on the streets of Kyoto and the base of the city walls were covered with wedding characters.
Although Yuanli was marrying for the second time, Wen Yici still married her in a formal ceremony, personally welcoming her to Prince Wen's palace in a sedan chair carried by eight people. The procession of people welcoming the bride stretched to the end of the street, and the scene was bustling with red and beautiful women.
Just for the wedding money, he emptied ten wooden boxes. Yuanli felt a pang of pain in her heart. If she hadn't gotten married herself, she would have gone around robbing people for money.
That night, Wen Yici took the mandarin duck fan from her hand, and Yuanli stared at his exquisite face infatuatedly. She had never dared to look at him before, but now, after a closer look, she realized that he was indeed the most handsome man in the underworld.
As she watched, Yuanli's saliva began to flow from the corners of her mouth, gathering into drops that fell on her dress. Yuanli reacted and quickly wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth.
Wen Yici took out a rabbit-shaped handkerchief from his bosom and wiped her. The handkerchief was a token of love she embroidered for him before their wedding. She didn't expect that he would carry it with him.
"I'm very beautiful?" Wen Yici's gentle voice made the stupid donkey in her heart beat wildly.
"He looks good. My husband is the most handsome man in the world." Yuanli looked at him and smiled foolishly, without any princess airs at all.
This scene made the maids around lower their heads and hold back their laughter.
After the maids left, they were the only ones left in the room. It was unusually quiet, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Wen Yici leaned closer to her tentatively, placing a light kiss on her lips. Seeing she didn't resist, he deepened the kiss. Yuanli subconsciously hugged Wen Yici's neck, letting her wide sleeves slip off, revealing her slender arms.
After letting her go, Wen Yici gasped and caught a glimpse of the red spot on her arm out of the corner of his eye.
Wen Yici hugged her and lay down, sending down a dew in her dry river, bringing infinite vitality and creating a great harmony of life.
