When he came to his senses, Miao Yi was secretly enraged. He realized that this woman was really untactful. She had already fallen to such a state, yet she still dared to mock him. 'Just you wait, I'll deal with you later.'
He said in a deep voice, "Invite him in!"
Initially, he didn't want to see them, but he had no choice. In the future, he would still need their cooperation. After all, this was their territory. It would be best if they came and left safely.
Soon, Zhan Ruyi personally led Grandma Lu in. Grandma Lu was very polite to Zhan Ruyi, not daring to offend him. With his background, she couldn't afford to offend him.
"What brings you here?" Miao Yi quickly walked out from behind the long table, smiling as he cupped his fists.
Granny Lu wasn't going to be polite to Miao Yi. Her face fell as she sneered, "I am not worthy of Lord Mayor's words. Since Lord Mayor did not come to see me, I had no choice but to pay you a visit myself."
Moreover, Miao Yi knew that this old hag and the Left Division of the Overseers had joined hands to plot against him. Thus, he didn't take it to heart and braced himself to deal with it. "You must be joking, old lady. I still haven't sorted out the matters at hand. I was just planning to visit you another day."
"Since you're busy, then we'll talk about official matters another day." Granny Lü looked left and right as she finished speaking. "Where's that girl, Fei Hong?"
Miao Yi shrugged helplessly and said, "The rules are there. I really don't dare to bring her into the Imperial Garden."
"How about this …" Granny Lu took two steps with the help of her walking stick. She frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, she looked up and said, "How about this, I will go back to the Heaven Empress and ask for a decree. I will ask the Heaven Empress to let the little girl fly in. I believe the Heaven Empress will give this old one face."
Miao Yi cursed in his heart, 'You're just afraid that I don't have a spy by my side to keep an eye on you. How can the higher-ups not agree?' However, on the surface, he chuckled and said, "Of course, I can't ask for more."
Granny Green suddenly slammed her walking stick against the ground, "That girl has been with you for so many years, when are you going to make her official? At that time, you said that it depends on the situation. As far as I know, the girl is gentle, considerate, obedient, and well-mannered to you. She's also rare and beautiful. Are you still dissatisfied? "
Zhan Ruyi's face darkened when he brought Grandma Lu in with a mocking attitude. To her, it was really touching her sore spot. She cursed in her heart, "Shameless old witch, an actress wants to be the legal wife!"
Regardless of whether she was satisfied with Miao Yi or not. She already had a preconceived notion that she would marry Miao Yi sooner or later. Naturally, she also thought that she was the legal wife. It would be strange if she was happy that someone was trying to get ahead of her.
Miao Yi wore a faint smile on his face. "This is a major event in my life. When the conditions are right, success will come naturally. I hate it when people force me in this aspect. I was already thinking about promoting Feihong, but Granny insisted on forcing me like this. Did Feihong ask Granny to pressure me? "
Granny Lu quickly waved her hand and said, "Fei Hongjue did not ask this old lady to pressure you, it was this old lady's idea. Don't misunderstand."
Miao Yi said, "Let's not talk about this for now. I'll ask Fei Hong for her opinion later."
Granny Green, who was full of vigor, was embarrassed. Realizing that his attempt at matchmaking had turned into a mess, he could only take his leave.
Two days later, Granny Green kept her promise and really brought Feihong to the Imperial Garden. Logically speaking, someone of Miao Yi's status did not have the right to bring his family here.
Miao Yi also noticed that Feihong's mood was a little unclear after coming here. It gave off a feeling that she was forcing herself to smile. He didn't know if Granny Green had passed on his message to her. Granny Green only brought Feihong here. She had no way of bringing Feihong's handmaidens here as well. However, Granny Green arranged for a dozen beautiful fairy maidens to serve her. All the fairy maidens in the Imperial Garden were originally under Granny Green's control.
She brought them along with her. There was also a large basket of various immortal fruits. This was specially bestowed by the Heavenly Empress when she heard that Granny Green's goddaughter had come. Although it was not a problem for Granny Green to obtain some immortal fruits here, with the Heavenly Empress's bestowment, she could openly display it.
After Miao Yi sorted out the matters at hand, he began to let Zhan Ruyi be his guide. He patrolled the various garrisons of the Imperial Garden. Since Granny Green was there to take care of things, Miao Yi saw that Feihong was not in a good mood, so he brought her along for a stroll. Hai Pingxin also eagerly followed. It was an eye-opener for him. Along the way, he looked around like a curious child. There was not an ounce of steadiness in him.
Although it was said to be the Celestial Emperor's private garden, in reality, this garden was a planet. If not for the fact that it was difficult to get close to this planet. The Black Dragon Division's million troops were simply not enough.
The first station to patrol was the three thousand li immortal peach garden not far from the headquarters. Even though the peach garden was protected by a great formation, there were still over ten thousand troops stationed to guard it. After all, the area was so vast that it took up a lot of the Black Dragon Division's troops.
Normally, Miao Yi would definitely not be able to enter the peach garden. However, it was different now. It was his duty. Moreover, it was originally guarded by his subordinates. He didn't even need to report when entering and exiting such an important place. It could be said that there were very few places in the entire Imperial Garden that he couldn't go.
Even outside the garden's gates, a dense mist of spiritual energy assaulted his senses. The local Mountain God and Earth God personally appeared to welcome him, bowing as they led the way. As soon as they entered the garden's gates, they could see immortals dressed in palace attire shuttling back and forth. Some were holding large shears, some were holding hoes. Whenever they saw Miao Yi, they would greet him and say, "Greetings, Lord Commander!"
The peach trees in the garden were huge. Even the smallest ones were over a hundred feet tall. Naturally, the area they covered was not small either. Standing under the trees, the mist reached up to their knees, and they looked up like ants.
The branches were dark and protruding like steel. The tree trunks were knotted, and the leaves were like jade. The tall branches were full of fruits. The small ones were white and fluffy, while the bigger ones had already grown into peach shapes. The pale yellow ones were about to ripen, while the golden ones were already ripe. There were also some branches that had bloomed with pink stamens and golden flowers, but had yet to bear fruit.
Miao Yi unintentionally noticed that Zhan Ruyi was also looking around curiously. He couldn't help asking, "Has Commander Zhan never been here before?"
Zhan Ruyi replied, "This place is not permitted. How can I enter as I please? I did stand outside the peach garden and look inside, but this is my first time entering. This time, I'm basking in the glory of Lord Commander."
After looking at the peach garden, the group flew to an open field of farmland. The Earthen God came to welcome them.
In the field, there were a few beautiful women dressed in plain clothes farming. They were completely different from the fairies dressed in palace attire. Miao Yi couldn't help but move forward, wanting to see what was going on.
Seeing this, Zhan Ruyi couldn't help but smile mockingly. There was even a hint of slyness in his eyes, as though he wanted to watch the show.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi's actions frightened the Earthen God so much that he hurriedly stopped him. "My Lord, you mustn't do that. How can we look at His Majesty's concubines up close? Even looking at them from afar is blasphemy. How can we be so rude? "
The Earthen God's words gave Miao Yi a fright. Naturally, he didn't dare to go forward and look at the Celestial Emperor's woman. He asked in shock, "Why is His Majesty's concubines farming?"
The Earthen God said perfunctorily, "Pleasing. It's just pleasing."
On the other hand, Zhan Ruyi calmly said, "His Majesty is truly pleasing. His concubines are merely following the example of his superiors. Later on, it became that all the concubines who entered the palace were given a piece of fertile land. The more land there is, the more concubines His Majesty has. Under normal circumstances, it is when His Majesty appears. Those concubines will only appear to put on an act for His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't come, they will be handed over to the fairies to take care of. Those fairies who don't take care of the concubines' fields will usually meet a tragic end. Don't be fooled by the fact that the concubines are all as beautiful as flowers. In reality, their hearts are very vicious. After being confined for a long time, they even become a little perverted. "
"Oh!" Miao Yi heard some inside information. It seemed that this was where the concubines in the Heavenly Court's harem competed for favor. He looked at the vast fields and couldn't help but click his tongue. How many women did this Lord Qing have in his home? He was so busy every day that he couldn't even share the rain and dew evenly!
The Earthen God broke out in a cold sweat as he listened. Only someone with this person's background would dare to say something like this. The Earthen God didn't dare to say it. If word got out, he would be skinned alive.
In reality, Zhan Ruyi, who was in the know, didn't really care about those concubines. The Ying Family had sent many beauties into the palace as tributes. How many of the concubines in the harem could the Heavenly Emperor actually remember their names? The Heavenly Emperor couldn't possibly spend too much effort on a group of women. He hadn't even touched most of them. They were just living like widows. To put it bluntly, ordinary concubines would make Zhan Ruyi unhappy. It would be easier for her to send a message into the palace and kill one of them than for her to kill one of her subordinates. At the very least, she would have a reason to deal with her subordinates.
Hai Pingxin, on the other hand, was blinking her eyes. She seemed to be listening with great interest.
They left the fields. The group once again arrived at a magnificent mountain range covered in clouds and mist.
There was a faint fragrance in the air, refreshing the mind and refreshing the mind. Looking around, the mountains and rivers were as beautiful as a painting. There were waterfalls everywhere, and when the fog passed, a beautiful lake was revealed. It reflected the blue sky and white clouds, adorned with exotic flowers and plants. Rainbows stretched across the land, and spiritual birds soared in the sky. Such a scene could only exist in the sky.
The top of the mountain was occupied by pavilions. On the highest peak, one could look down at the mountains. The palace was majestic, dazzling under the sunlight. This was the Heavenly Emperor's Li Palace.
"Greetings, Lord Commander!"
Miao Yi and the others came to the outside of the palace to take a look. The Black Dragon Division guards outside the palace bowed, but didn't allow them to enter. Without permission, Miao Yi didn't dare to enter. Even though the Heavenly Emperor wasn't here, the Black Dragon Division guards didn't dare to trespass. There were Fairy Maids taking care of things inside. Miao Yi and the others could stand outside the palace gates and take a look inside.
Looking around, they saw a huge golden dragon napping under the eaves of the majestic palace gates.
Since they couldn't enter, they stood outside and took a look. When they turned around, Miao Yi saw Fei Hong standing quietly by the white jade railing. She didn't even notice Miao Yi walking up to her. Miao Yi went closer and saw Fei Hong's eyes were red. She was staring blankly in a certain direction, and tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Miao Yi looked in the direction she was looking at. It seemed to be a pavilion on a mountain, and there was nothing else. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fei Hong, what's wrong?"
Fei Hong quickly came back to her senses and wiped her tears with her sleeves. She shook her head and said, "No … nothing."
Zhan Ruyi, who had followed them here, looked in that direction and said, "If I remember correctly, that should be the Earth Star Sovereign's courtyard. The previous Earth Star Sovereign was executed for cheating in the Purgatory Trial. I wonder if the current Earth Star Sovereign is still living there."
Speaking of cheating in the trial, Miao Yi had personally experienced it. The Supervising Right Commissioner, Gao Guan, had killed many people. The scene of him being beheaded on the cliff was still fresh in his mind. He couldn't help but look in that direction when he heard it. However, it didn't concern him, so he didn't take it to heart. His gaze fell on Fei Hong again. He thought for a while and comforted her, "Did Madam Lü say something to you? Don't think too much about it. I just can't stand her arrogant attitude, so I purposely used words to stop her. I didn't mean to target you. Don't take it to heart. "
"Really? You're not looking down on me because of my background? "Fei Hong raised her head and looked at him pitifully with tears in her eyes.
Zhan Ruyi rolled his eyes as if he couldn't take it anymore. He patted the armor on his body and turned to leave.
It seemed like it was really because of that matter! Miao Yi thought to himself. He smiled and said, "There's plenty of time in the future. There's no rush to make you the legal wife. We'll talk about it when things settle down. Besides, you're the only woman by my side. What difference is there between you and the legal wife?"
"Mm! I understand. " Fei Hong nodded. She slowly and gently snuggled into his embrace. However, there was an unconcealable sadness in her eyes as she looked at the building on the mountain in the distance.
