Chapter 48 Before the Ceremony

"What?!!" Ouyang Hongye couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that the attitude of Lion Wangcheng had changed so much in just a few days. Although Ouyang should ascend the throne after they took back the heavenly and earth charms according to the agreement, he didn't expect that such words would still shock his heart by Lion King Cheng's mouth. "Son's Elder Cheng, you... don't object anymore?"

"Such a big thing happened in the demon world, which was almost destroyed, and many of my thoughts have also changed. Since such a crisis can be overcome, it is not a foreshadowing. Maybe it's time to let everything go back in place and start again." Lion Wangcheng looked at Ouyang Yong and continued, "The conversation with Elder Yong these days has also restored my hope."

"Yes, yes! Although in a hurry, we must immediately announce the news that Xiao Leng is about to ascend the throne of the demon king. Yan Ming may not be able to suppress those princes and nobles. The succession ceremony will be set in three days, and the details of the ceremony will be drawn up by Hongye! All of us can be arranged and dispatched by you. Elder Cheng and I need to have a good rest.

After Ouyang Yong explained everything to Ouyang Hongye and others, he and Lion King Cheng went back to their respective courtyards to rest until the demon king's succession ceremony began.

Although time is tight, Ouyang Hongye still wants to make the ceremony look grand as much as possible. Although the current royal city has long lost its prosperity, after all, this is the first grand ceremony held in the royal city after the war 16 years ago, and this long-silent city really needs some joy now.

From the Tianshu Hall to the Tianquan Hall, the red carpet was covered everywhere. The golden curtain poured down from the beams and columns. The pure gold lamps that had been sealed for many years were found and placed in the main hall. The prominent princes and nobles in the demon world were invited to participate in the ceremony, and the Amber Dragon King was also among them. He had not left Dongyao for many years. On the one hand, he came to congratulate Ouyang Xiao Leng, and on the other hand, he was eager to miss his son Qianqi.

Qianqi was not by his side for the first time since he was born. In the past, no matter how stubborn and nonsense he was, at least under his eyes, no one would blame him and it was less likely to hurt him. He knew his son better than anyone else. Although he was impatient, he was kind-hearted, unprepared of people, and he was excessively drowned. Love hurt him more or less, making him a little arrogant and self-centered. I don't know how he will change in the days when he left Dongyao.

Before learning that his father was coming to the royal city, Qianqi had been thinking about participating in the damn ceremony quickly, and then took the demon horse cavalry regiment to Xianhequan Township. If the Yuhe fairy still refused to let people go, he would build a bridge in Xianhe Lake one by stone to Changsheng Island. Three days after returning here, he did not step out of the other courtyard in the Fuxing Hall and locked himself in the room most of the time. I don't know why. He especially doesn't want to see Ouyang Xiao Leng. When he sees him, he will make himself angry. Even if that person is destined to become the lord of the demon world, even if that person's demon power is stronger than his own, even if everyone is on that person's side, it's nothing great for him. He just wants Xia Qiu. Be able to be by his side.

Since returning to the Chenji Palace again, Ouyang Xiao Leng has had to be surrounded by everyone. There was an endless stream of princes and nobles who came to congratulate him, which made him feel ridiculous. It turned out that demons were also so hypocritical. It's just that the title he is about to get, those who regarded him as an enemy not long ago, can now flatter him with a smile on their faces, as if nothing had happened before. He doesn't need anyone's flattery. This title is just a permission for him to declare war with Qingyun, but Grandpa Yong and Ouyang Hongye have also taught him for a long time. If he wants to revive the demon world and compete with Qingyun, he must get used to dealing with these people. The first step is to learn to use them to consolidate his position and form himself. My own army.

To lead these hypocrites and become their king, he should learn to coercive them and master when to be tough and when to be smooth. In fact, even his father can't make all of them submit. These people are both greedy and afraid of death, and insatiable. Only a few people's souls still retain the original nobility and purity. But these are not the only ones that gives him a headache. He even has to participate in deciding the color and style of his wedding dress. He is extremely disgusted with the spider demon who makes dresses for him. Although he is the best tailor in the demon world, he is a chatterer, constantly showing off that he has made dresses for the former Wang Li and Xue Ye. Experience.

"What color do you prefer?" Before Ouyang Xiao Leng could answer, Qianshou continued to say, "Blue is too ordinary. What about gold? The golden color feels like wrapping the curtain around the body, red... like a pillar, yellow, the human emperor seems to like this color very much. Personally, I don't have a good impression on this color!"

"White." Ouyang Xiao Leng interrupted him and said firmly.

"Ah? White, what an unlucky color, no king will wear white at his succession ceremony. Thousands of hands made a fuss, and the six empty hands swung at the same time, and the already sharp voice became more harsh.

"I just want white, and I won't wear other colors." After Ouyang Xiao Leng finished speaking, he ignored him again, and let Qianshou be there for a while without squeezing out a word.

"Alas, white is white. It seems that you can only work on the rope buckle and belt." Thousands of hands shook their heads.

In fact, Ouyang Xiao Leng really hopes to wear the dress left by his father. It is also a white dress. Although it is not the one his father wore at the ceremony, it is what he likes very much. But Ouyang Hongye will never agree with his idea. He strives for perfection and excellence in every detail of the ceremony, so that he is a little neurotic. At this time, if he tells him that he wants to wear an old dress to participate in his succession ceremony, Ouyang Hongye will definitely collapse.

Xia Qiu's appearance appears in his mind all the time, but only when he lies in ** can he calm down for a while, and then miss her so much that he can't sleep. Even if he falls asleep, he is always in a trance. Sometimes I was half asleep and half awake to see her there, lying face to face with me, like in the sparrow house of the Tibetan sparrow platform, looking at myself quietly without blinking, as if I was afraid that I would disappear from her eyes as soon as I closed my eyes, so cherish it.

He thought: I must always unconsciously make her sad, right? As a wayward and tough self, she always blurts out hurtful words, but the words that like her are always choked in her throat. She will definitely blame me for cherishing words like gold, but she has never said a word of reproach. She has absorbed so many negative emotions, but she can still smile from the bottom of her heart. Speaking of which, every separation from her is because of me. Although I have already made up my mind to absolutely protect her, I always put her in danger.

When Wang Yue returned to Wangcheng to settle everything, she remembered that she hadn't seen the girl Snow Rabbit for a while, and she really missed her. In the past, she should have come to meet herself and Ouyang Xiao Leng early, but there has been no movement during this period, which made him a little worried. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the place where his sister-in-law and Snow Rabbit live.

His brother's widow, Miao Xueyou, and his daughter Xuetu, live in a house not far from the Chenji Palace. The house is called Wutongju, which is the old house of his and his brother's Tingyue family. He has lived there since he was born until he grew up and began to travel around. He rarely went home, and his brother was married by Lord Xueye. I moved out completely and stayed with Lord Yong. When his brother listened to the moon, he often went to Wutongju. Later, when his brother died, he rarely went back. For him, there were too many memories when he was with his brother, which was easy for him to touch the scene. Even today, many years later, he still misses Ting Yue so much.

His brother is a silent and gentle person, which is completely different from him. He always accompanies the snowy night and the red leaves, quietly listens to them talking and laughing, and then echoes with a faint smile. He is not good at words, but treats people very sincerely. When Tingyue died, the snow rabbit was not yet born, which is also the biggest reason why Wang Yue felt sorry for her from the bottom of her heart. Since she was a baby, he often visited her. For the sake of the snow rabbit, he stopped drifting and often lived in the royal city. But recently, he obviously felt that Miao Xueyou was a little resistant to his frequent contact with the snow rabbit. He didn't know if it was from My own illusion.

"sister-in-law." When she came to the front of Wutongju, Miao Xueyou was coming back from the outside. The two happened to meet, and Wang Yue greeted her.

Miao Xueyou seemed to have something on her mind. After a while, she realized, "It's Wang Yue. Why are you here?"

"I just came back and remembered that I hadn't seen the little snow rabbit for a while, so I came to see her." Wang Yue couldn't see any emotion from Miao Xueyou's face.

"Don't stand at the door. Come in and talk about it." Miao Xueyou welcomed Wangyue into the door.

The sycamore tree house has been the same for so many years. The swing hanging from the huge sycamore tree was made by my brother when the snow rabbit was not born. The flowers and plants in the yard, rattan tables and chairs, and the furniture in the house are also made by the two brothers. It makes people unconsciously recall the bits of the past.

Wang Yue walked into the house with Miao Xueyou and sat down in the hall. She didn't see the snow rabbit coming out to meet him, so she continued to ask, "Where's the little snow rabbit?"

"In her room, I locked her up." Miao Xue replied lightly.

"Locked? Why?" Wang Yue is a little confused.

Miao Xueyou poured a cup of tea for Wang Yue and continued to say, "Last time she went out behind my back and Xiao Leng, she met Rasha's mother. This time, when she heard that you were going to look for the heavenly and earth charms, she couldn't help but want to go with her. She is still too young, and her demonic power and kung fu are very shallow, so I won't do it anyway. Let her out. As you know, Tingyue is gone. Snow Rabbit is my only relative and support. I don't want her to be involved in your disputes, let alone put her in danger.

Wang Yue can't refute Miao Xueyou's statement, "What does she think?"

"It doesn't matter what she thinks. You also know how much she likes you, how much she likes Elder Yong, and how much she likes Xiao Leng. She has admired you since she was a child, especially you. In her eyes, you are like her biological father, so for your sake, she will be desperate. She is too young to know what is, such as If you are really good for her, don't worry about us.

"At least let me see her."

"Okay."
