"The Pleiades star official, one of the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, was originally a big rooster, responsible for announcing the dawn. There was a scorpion demon among the people, causing trouble for the village, so the Emperor of Heaven sent the Pleiades star official down to earth to catch the demon."

Jiang Li began to tell the story vividly.

"What happened next?" Mo Qillang listened with great interest.

"After the Pleiades star official descended to the earth, he revealed his true form and stood on the hillside. He cried out to the Scorpion Demon, and the demon immediately became limp and collapsed to the ground, revealing his true form. The Pleiades star official picked it up and ate it in one gulp."

Mo Qilang was dumbfounded: "That's it?"

"Yes, what else do you want?" Jiang Li said righteously.

"Just because you listened to the story your master made up to lull you to sleep, you really found a rooster to fight the poisonous insect?"

And it actually succeeded!

"Who said my master's story was made up? Besides, chickens are the nemesis of insects!"

Mo Qilang:......

In fact, it was also because Da Jin was contracted by Jiang Li, and that contract carried the pressure of her soul in the late stage of Qi training, so Da Jin's cry could restrain the poisonous insect.

Of course, this cannot be told to Mo Qilang.

At this time, a young eunuch came in and saluted, saying, "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you."

Jiang Li felt a headache, and he couldn't avoid what was coming.

Well, let's just make things clear today.

She asked Mo Qilang to look after Da Jin and followed the young eunuch.

The young eunuch respectfully led Jiang Li to Xiexiang Pavilion by the lake in Shanglin Garden.

Here you can see the beautiful scenery of the lake, and from time to time you can see mandarin ducks and wild ducks playing in the lake.

Jiang Li walked in calmly.

Nangong Qinghe stood by the window, looking at the pairs of mandarin ducks snuggling together in the water, but his heart was filled with sorrow.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and said hastily, "Ah Li, don't worry. After I ascend the throne, I will definitely withdraw my father's imperial decree granting you marriage."

"Why do you want to withdraw?" Jiang Li said seriously, "I am willing to do so."

Nangong Qinghe was heartbroken: "Ari, you don't have to do this for me!"

"Just wait a little longer. I...I will never let you be inferior to others. I will make you the heir of a country and the most powerful woman in the world!"

"Qinghe," Jiang Li sighed, "Since we are close friends, I won't hide anything from you."

She said word by word: "I am pleased with him."

"What did you say?" Nangong Qinghe was stunned. "Who do you like?"

"Xie Changan, I like him." Jiang Li said frankly.

These words were undoubtedly a heavy blow to Nangong Qinghe's ears.

"Do you know that Xie Changan is a 'natural eunuch'? Are you going to marry... a eunuch?"

Nangong Qinghe was a little exasperated. A'li, were you fooled by him?

He secretly hated himself for being so careless, always thinking that Xie Changan was just like the eunuchs in the palace, and didn't take the fact that he and Jiang Li were together day and night seriously. He didn't expect that the two would fall in love with each other over time!

"He's handsome."

Jiang Li smiled sweetly, "I just want him to be healthy, free from worries, and ready to leave everything behind and follow me at any time."

"Your Highness, you know that my master is a Taoist master, and I am a Taoist disciple."

Jiang Li said seriously, "What people in the world call happiness is nothing more than love between a man and a woman, and having children around them; what people in the world call the greatest blessing for a woman is nothing more than being the empress, and being the most beautiful woman in the world."

"But for those of us who practice Taoism, it is a hindrance that hinders our spiritual heart."

Nangong Qinghe was stunned when he heard this.

With tears in his eyes, he said, "Ari, can't you stay with me for me? You are the only one I have in this world!"

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Jiang Li smiled slightly.

"Your Highness has a mother, a crown princess, and in the future there will be princes and princesses to take care of you. Your Highness, you will soon be crowned the emperor, and you will have the vast land in your hands. Why would you worry about your children's personal affairs?"

"I don't want the vast mountains and rivers. All I want is you!"

Nangong Qinghe's eyes were red. "Ah Li, I swore that when I become the emperor, I will make you my queen! Stay by my side, and we will rule the country together, isn't that good?"

"Sharing the throne together?"

Jiang Li laughed and looked at him straight, "Your Highness, if I stay, where do you want to put the Queen and the Crown Princess?"

"Ari, you, please give me some time, I will definitely be able to solve all this..."

Nangong Qinghe avoided her gaze in embarrassment.

"Qinghe," Jiang Li sighed, "I don't want to be trapped inside these high walls for the rest of my life."

"When my wings were broken and I was locked up in the cold palace," she whispered, "it was he who gave me another pair of wings so that I could fly again."

"He promised me that he would not restrain me in the future, so that I can fly higher and farther freely."

"Qinghe, are you going to break my wings again?"

"At the Longmen Gathering, I said that if you treat me like a national hero, I will repay you like a national hero. You let me spread my wings and fly, and I will build achievements for you, and together we will create a prosperous era for the Great Chu. Isn't that good?"

Nangong Qinghe's eyes were red and he was speechless for a moment.

She has the ability to fly high and has mysterious means. As long as she wants to leave, he can't keep her!

Jiang Li smiled and stuffed a handkerchief into his hand: "Be good, stop making trouble, wipe your tears, and don't let others see that the future emperor is crying."

Hearing her coaxing tone, Nangong Qinghe became angry and said, "Who is crying?"

"Yes, yes, whoever cries is a puppy, hahahaha..."

Nangong Qinghe felt a pang of pain in his heart. In the end, he still lost her!

Not long after Jiang Li walked out of Xiexiang Pavilion, she felt a breeze blowing past. Her eyes blurred and she was hugged around the waist by a strong arm and carried into a rockery cave nearby.

Being trapped in front of the hard chest, a cold breath hit me in the face.

Jiang Li said angrily: "I was fine, why are you going crazy again?"

The person who came was Xie Changan.

He snorted coldly: "You just want me to be healthy and free from worries? To you, love between men and women is just a fetter that hinders your Tao heart?"

"Could it be that you want to kill your husband to prove your truth in the future?"

He bent down angrily and bit her lips.

"Um..." Jiang Li covered her lips and said coquettishly, "You hurt me!"

Seeing that he was still sullen, pursing his lips, and glaring at her hatefully, Jiang Li chuckled: "Did you hear everything?"

She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, whispering, "How can I bear to do that? I'm not practicing the ruthless way..."

Xie Changan sneered: "You are unwilling to give up the throne of the empress, how can you be reluctant to give up a common man like me?"

Jiang Li was helpless. She had to coax her man.

"Brother Changan," Jiang Li hugged his neck and kissed him on the lips again, saying tenderly, "Who told me to like a mortal like you? I have already made a heart-to-heart contract with you!"

"Brother Changan, I like you, only you. No matter what kingdom or queen you are, nothing can compare to you..."

She called him "Brother Chang'an" in a coquettish voice and said that even the whole country could not compare to him. Who could resist such coquettishness?

Xie Changan's anger turned into joy. He was so excited that he hugged her tightly in his arms and whispered, "When...will we get married?"

He couldn't wait to take her home.
