Chapter 372 Fragrant Honey 17
Before leaving, Fengshen specially stopped Runyu to talk. She couldn't tell him about Jinmi's existence, let alone her life story, so she could only ask indirectly, "Does Yeshen have a favorite woman?"
Without waiting for Runyu to answer, she continued, "If Ye Shen doesn't have someone he likes right now, he should also consider marriage. My marriage with the Water God has changed, and the one the Emperor of Heaven and the Water God decided on that day is the Water God's eldest daughter. Ye Shen, you should also think about it carefully."
Runyu had a hunch that something was wrong, but at the moment he could only deal with it casually. He didn't have any available manpower. He had been to the Water God's Luoxiang Mansion several times but didn't find any problems. Without understanding the situation, he really couldn't make any decision.
But he believed that the God of Wind had good intentions towards him.
Kuang Lu was a step slow and could only watch Feng Shen taking Ye Shen away. But when she thought that she and Ye Shen now knew each other, she felt very happy. Thinking of the tea and pastries that were specially left for her, Kuang Lu just wanted to go home quickly to share them with her father.
Kuang Lu told her father, Tai Yi Zhenren, everything that happened in Taihao Palace, because she knew that the Emperor of Heaven would definitely be interested in these things. If her father did not report it, Ye Shen Runyu would have a hard time. This was evident from the fact that Runyu did not leave any tea or pastries.
Zhenren Taiyi took a portion of tea and cakes from his daughter's gift with a distressed look on his face and went to report to the Emperor of Heaven. He did not find it strange to see Ye Shen being punished to kneel again. Since Zhangzhu liked Ye Shen very much, Zhenren Taiyi was also willing to help Ye Shen with some small things.
The Emperor of Heaven also knew why Master Taiyi came at this moment, and quickly sent Runyu away. He saw Master Taiyi took out a portion of tea and snacks and was about to ask something when he found that the tea and snacks were very different.
Facing the Emperor's surprised look, Tai Yi Zhenren nodded and said, "Kuang Lu from my family also got an invitation. These snacks were brought back by me from Tai Hao Palace. It is very rude to eat and take them at the same time, but I can't care about much at the moment."
Although Taiwei was just the second son who was not valued by Emperor Xiantian in the past, Emperor Xiantian was always fair in his actions. Even though he relied more on the eldest son, there was no reason for him to ignore his other sons. Therefore, Taiwei was used to seeing good things since he was a child.
Especially since he has been the Emperor of Heaven for more than 200,000 years and is in charge of the six realms. Even though he has spent most of his time balancing the various races, no one dares to lack him for what he needs. But this is the first time he has seen the Enlightenment Tea, which shows how precious it is.
After seeing Taiwei finish drinking the tea, Master Taiyi made another big announcement: "According to what your servant said, Taihao Palace actually used dragon liver and phoenix marrow to prepare dishes for the banquet. In addition, the Green Emperor was accompanied by not only three green dragons and three fire phoenixes, but also a red bird. Although the dragon liver and phoenix marrow did not seem to be obtained from real dragons or phoenixes, they were not ordinary spiritual objects either."
However, Taiwei felt that he was deeply offended by Taihao Palace, and in a rage he crushed the glass cup in his hand to pieces. When Master Taiyi saw that the tea in the glass cup had been drunk by Taiwei, he finally put down his worry, for he was afraid that Taiwei would be so angry that he would waste the good things that Kuang Lu brought back.
Taiwei didn't care about Master Taiyi's little tricks. He was very angry at the slippery appearance of Taihao Palace. He waved his hand and asked Master Taiyi to send people to Taihao Palace as soon as possible. He would take care of Taihao Palace sooner or later.
Master Taiyi just felt that he shouldn't have made this trip in vain and wasted a lot of good things.
After hearing about the dilemma faced by Master Taiyi, Kuang Lu couldn't help but complain to Taiwei: "Your Majesty is really something. Not only can you not treat the two princes equally, but you also covet Taihao Palace."
"It's not that I want to destroy my own ambition and enhance the prestige of others. It's really that the Green Emperor's cultivation is unfathomable, and he has also devoted himself to the training of the people in Taihao Palace. I saw that everyone in Taihao Palace was accustomed to the things on the banquet, which shows that even if they don't use them every day, they have never lacked them. What can we do to compare with him?"
Zhenren Taiyi also sighed. In his early years, he chose to support Taiwei because he saw that Taiwei was ambitious and might accomplish great things in the future. He, a second-rate helper, might also be able to profit from it.
But unexpectedly, after Taiwei came to power, he only got the merit of signing a peace treaty with the demon world. Other things that hindered him kept happening one after another. He even allowed the flower clan to split up because of the romantic scandal with the former flower god, and also allowed all the flowers to fold their petals for ten years, which added to his many sins.
Thinking of this, Master Taiyi recalled that the God of Fire Xufeng, who was highly regarded by the heavenly world, couldn't even get an invitation this time. He also thought about how much attention and appreciation his daughter paid to the God of Night Runyu, so he finally made up his mind to stand on the side of the God of Night Runyu and agreed to let Kuang Lu contact Runyu.
Kuang Lu had recently been thinking about going into seclusion. Thinking of Runyu, she looked at her father with great anticipation, "Dad, I want to go into seclusion for a while, and I'm sure the eldest prince wants to do the same. Why don't you think of a way to make it easier for the eldest prince?"
Since he has decided to stand with Runyu, Taiyi Zhenren certainly doesn't want Runyu to miss this good opportunity. For the gods in the world, the higher the cultivation, the higher the status, and the less likely they are to be constrained by others. Runyu has no foundation behind him. If he supports Runyu, he will definitely get a huge reward.
But Taiyi Zhenren didn't want to confront Taiwei over this, so he just gave Kuang Lu an idea: "Dad's position is not good for him to do anything for the eldest prince openly, but Dad knows that some places in the demon world are ready to make moves recently, and the eldest prince has received an invitation from Taihao Palace this time, so he must have shown his face in front of many immortals. Judging from the character of His Majesty, the God of Fire will definitely make new contributions in the next period of time, and His Majesty will find an excuse to hide the eldest prince."
Kuang Lu understood that if Runyu didn't show up for a while, the Queen Mother would probably blame her in the end. So she called two maids to go to the Marriage Palace and say something. A few days later, the Queen Mother learned that someone in the Heavenly Palace was criticizing her beloved son. She rushed to the Emperor and found an excuse that Runyu had eaten a lot of good food in Taihao Palace, and he must need to go into seclusion to digest it well, so he didn't have to perform his duties every night.
Although Taiwei didn't think Runyu had the qualifications to make breakthroughs one after another, he just didn't want Runyu to show up too often, so he hypocritically sent a few elixirs to Xuanji Palace and directly dismissed Runyu from his post indefinitely.
Although this move was exactly what Runyu wanted, Runyu was informed of the inside story by the people arranged by Taoist Taiyi. While feeling grateful to Kuang Lu, he also treated Kuang Lu as a serious fellow Taoist.
