Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 494: The Emperor's Night Banquet and My Daughter's Growth
The Heavenly Court sent stars down to earth to help, which was a strong support for the rule of the Human Emperor.
In order to express the gratitude of the human race, Emperor Xuanyuan built twelve star towers for the banquet.
Star Lord Xiye could not refuse, so he attended the banquet with twenty-eight star gods.
That night, the wind was light and the clouds were thin, and the sky was bright.
A group of star gods entered the Star Tower and saw mysterious clouds, the five elements giving birth to each other, as well as towering canopies and dazzling curtains.
Inside the Twelve Star Tower, there is a purple jade cabinet, engraved with golden letters, sealed with crimson brilliance, and stamped with the seal of the Human Emperor.
As soon as the gods entered this place, they felt the changes.
In the darkness, at the highest point, the golden dragon of the human race's destiny was traveling in the sea of destiny. Suddenly, it lowered its eyes and looked down. The auspicious light formed a blue ribbon and mysterious chapter, which fell into the spirit platforms of the twenty-eight star gods.
"Thank you, Human Emperor!"
The twenty-eight star gods were overjoyed and immediately bowed to Xuanyuan in gratitude.
This is the blessing of the human race's fortune. Although it is not as good as what the Jiejiao immortals obtained in the time of Emperor Yan, it is still precious.
In this human world, their fortunes and luck will be improved to a certain extent, and their practice will be much smoother in the future.
Star Lord Xiye was also surprised, and ripples appeared in his charming purple eyes.
From his spiritual altar, a dragon scale of fortune descended and continuously evolved into a purple-ribboned jade seal.
Xi Ye had a vague feeling that as long as he possessed this item, he would be treated as a human sage in front of the human race's golden dragon of luck, or even better.
"Thank you, Human Emperor!"
Xi Ye bowed his head from afar, his handsomeness revealed elegance and politeness.
Beside him, Emperor Shieryue had curved eyebrows.
She saw a big dragon adding a bit of mysterious and yellow energy to her little bell.
"Ding-ling~~"
December raised her wrist, and the silver bell made a crisp sound.
A sweet smile appeared on the girl's lips.
She bowed to Xuanyuan obediently and expressed her gratitude.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Emperor December's long eyelashes twitched.
She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure next to the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, and a hint of doubt rose in her eyes of surprise.
"uncle?"
The little guy murmured uncertainly, with a confused expression, which was particularly adorable.
"Um?"
Xiye responded softly subconsciously.
But he reacted immediately, his eyes followed the direction that Emperor Shieryue was looking, and the corners of his mouth curled up instantly.
Feng Hou remained calm and responded with a smile.
At this time, the official in charge of ceremonies struck the bells and chimes.
The Human Emperor gave orders, and all the ministers lined up and the star gods took their seats.
The banquet is about to begin.
Delicacies of all kinds are served one after another, and exotic fruits and delicacies are displayed.
The purple ganoderma elixir was offered by immortals; the Qianhua golden water was refined by the immortals.
There are also spiritual materials from all over the world, precious medicines from the eight wildernesses, and the best products from heaven and earth. There are all kinds of these , which are dazzling to behold, and are all congratulated by all races.
For a moment, both humans and gods were happy.
After the banquet began, Di Shieryue quietly slipped to Feng Hou's side.
"This is for you!"
The white and tender little hand held a spiritual fruit and handed it to Feng Hou. Seeing that she took it, she nodded with satisfaction.
Then December took out a huge spiritual peach, held it in his hands and took small bites of it.
Feng Hou smiled, with a soft light in her eyes.
He moved to the left, giving her half a seat.
The little guy didn't refuse and sat down very naturally.
She raised her head, her hairpin swaying slightly, and stared at Feng Hou's profile with her large, confusing eyes. A smile appeared on her delicate face: "You are Mingyu's uncle, right?"
"Of course not."
Feng Hou denied it without any guilt.
The decisive answer made the girl stunned for a moment, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her almost confident expression showed a bit of confusion.
"Liar~"
December pouted.
He didn't eat the peach and just put it on the plate.
Fenghou waved his hand, and a waiter came forward to replace the dish, placing a new plate of delicacies in front of December.
"What's this?"
The girl looked at the food on the plate with curiosity. It was white and tender, the size of a finger, and topped with emerald leaves. It seemed like food she had never eaten before.
Feng Hou had a smile in his eyes and said, "This is Wen Song."
"Wensong?"
December tilted his head and thought about it, and realized that he had never eaten it.
"Is it tasty?"
She asked again.
Feng Hou replied, "All rabbits in the world love to eat it."
"Really?"
There was a gleam in December's eyes, sparkling.
"Of course it's true."
Feng Hou said firmly: "If you don't believe me, try it."
Emperor Shiyue had no suspicion and picked up the jade chopsticks to pick one for himself.
When she got closer, Xiao Qiong took a breath and smelled a faint fruity fragrance.
She didn't swallow it whole, but chewed it slowly with her teeth.
Crisp, savory, and sweet!
December narrowed his eyes and ate more than a dozen of them in a row. The food made a crunching sound in his mouth and the fragrance filled the air.
"It's really delicious! Rabbits on earth are so lucky!"
The rabbit in the Moon Palace gave Wen Song a thumbs up and also envied his fellow rabbits in the human world.
Feng Hou had a calm expression on his face, as if to say: See, I never lie.
As it turns out, what rabbit doesn’t like to eat radishes?
The same goes for the rabbits in the sky.
Fenghou smiled a little unscrupulously.
Seeing that there was not much Wensuang left on the plate, he waved to the waiter to bring another one.
But Emperor December shook his head and said, "No, no, my master once said that too much is as bad as too little. This is enough."
When the girl said the word "Master", her eyes looked towards Feng Hou vaguely.
Feng Hou said calmly, "This is reasonable. Your teacher has great wisdom and must be a man of great virtue."
After all, he was raised by me. December is no longer the little cub he used to be. It’s not easy to fool him.
I almost saw through the vest just by intuition.
You know, without Di Shieryue's reminder, Xiye would not have noticed anything unusual.
This also shows her growth.
Fenghou praised with satisfaction.
Planning to give the little guy a reward.
He took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it to December.
"You gave me a spiritual fruit, so I should return the favor."
"ah?"
December was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "But...but..."
"But I took the fruit from the table just now..."
The second half of the sentence was as soft as a mosquito's whisper. The little rabbit's eyes flashed and a blush appeared on her delicate little face. She seemed a little embarrassed.
Feng Hou laughed silently, reached out and touched her head, and said gently: "It's okay."
Di Shieryue still didn't answer: "But you don't even know me."
Her gaze fell on Feng Hou's face again, this time much more determined than before.
"Then you can consider it as a gift." Feng Hou paused and added, "Your master will be happy to know about this."
"Oh well."
December then took the jade box, but sensibly did not open it, and instead carefully put it into the small bell.
No matter what the gift is, since it is placed in a jade box, it is not appropriate to open it on this occasion.
If the gift is too expensive, it will disrupt the order of the banquet.
When Feng Hou saw this, the smile on her face widened.
Such a steady December really made him feel like "my daughter has grown up".
In fact, the gift he gave to Emperor Shieryue was all his inheritance and insights into the Dao except for Jing Zhen's sword embryo.
After all, his Taoist body will dissipate after Xuanyuan returns to his place.
It was by chance that the little girl recognized him at this time.
After receiving the gift from Feng Hou, the girl took out a food box from the small bell, opened the lid, and found flower wine and cakes.
"Master said, courtesy should be reciprocated."
“I did all this myself.”
Emperor Shieryue took out the food and looked at Fenghou with some anticipation.
Fenghou looked surprised. In the past, December was just a foodie, but he never made it himself.
Under December's expectant gaze, Fenghou ate a piece of osmanthus cake, and the familiar taste bloomed on his taste buds.
He praised it highly: "It's really good!"
December's eyes lit up and she smiled.
She couldn't wait to fill Fenghou's bottle with osmanthus wine.
"What about this?"
Feng Hou drank it and said happily, "Compared to before... ahem, this is better than any other fermented rice wine I've ever had!"
"As long as Master likes it!"
Emperor December smiled happily.
Fenghou said nothing.
She used her jade chopsticks frequently to put piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth, and raised the wine jar to drink from time to time, expressing her thoughts with her actions.
Emperor Shieryue held his chin with both hands, quietly watching Feng Hou eat, and said to himself: "Someone cooked for me before, but later I was alone, so I tried to cook for myself.
The first time I made osmanthus cake, Uncle Xiye tasted it and said it was delicious, but I know it wasn’t that great, at least not as good as what my mother and aunt made.”
"After that, I improved it many times, and the taste finally approached the osmanthus cake made by my mother and aunt. When I miss them, I will go to the Moon Palace for a while and ask the osmanthus tree for some osmanthus flowers as ingredients."
Feng Hou was silent.
I didn’t do it myself before because there was no need to do it myself and the person who loved her deeply was still there.
Now, in such a huge Moon Palace, she is the only one there most of the time.
Xiao Twelve continued to speak, without any sadness in his words.
"Later, I learned how to brew osmanthus wine. Hehe, I thought they didn't allow me to drink it, but I tried it secretly and memorized the taste! I succeeded in my first try!"
Speaking of this, the girl said proudly, "I am quite talented in this area."
"Unfortunately, Uncle Xiye found out about this, and he won't let me drink."
Then, she added half-complainingly, " Really? He's obviously just like Master, with a poor alcohol tolerance. He gets drunk after three cups, and passes out after drinking more. Yet, he always carries it with him..."
"Puff! Cough~ cough cough~~"
I had just finished drinking the third bottle of osmanthus wine when I was suddenly called out and almost choked myself.
Fortunately, he had already used Qimen to set up a mysterious ban, which made time and space intersect and isolated the inside and the outside. Even the person sitting next to him could not detect their current situation.
"Three cups won't make you drunk." He defended himself and put down the wine bottle in his hand.
Obviously, he is a little insecure.
Emperor Shieryue smiled and did not point it out.
"The three bottles of osmanthus wine I brew are the most delicious. Too much is as bad as too little."
She took the opportunity to put the wine utensils back into the food box and pushed the osmanthus cake forward, giving her uncle and master a way out, saving enough face.
Feng Hou smacked her lips and said, "Your mother and aunt will be very pleased to see you now."
Emperor December smiled brightly: "Will they come back?"
"meeting!"
Feng Hou answered decisively.
"But it will take some time."
"It's okay, Little Twelve can wait."
"So good~"
A warm hand rested on the girl's head, comforting her.
"Will the Emperor come back?"
"……meeting!"
"Where's my uncle?"
"……meeting!"
"And what about my brothers?"
“…”
"Why aren't you talking?"
"Little Twelve, don't you think you have too many questions? That's enough!"
"Hehe~~It's my fault that my uncle lied to me just now!"
"Hey! Girl, let's be reasonable. Who deceived whom just now?"
"Humph, anyway, Little Twelve never lies..."
