269 You’re Not Being Good
“What are you being so polite with me for, you child…” The emperor took a step forward. However, as soon as he got close, he was stunned and his face was full of disbelief. Then, he was dumbfounded and took a step back, a step forward, a step back, and a step forward. No wonder Jiang Xi was not cold. The temperature would rise and feel warm if he was within two steps of Jiang Xi! He took two steps back, and the cold seeped into his bones! He was the only one who was cold! Was he the only one who was cold? At this moment, the emperor was convinced that he had offended someone he should not have. The true dragon and son of heaven could not be compared to those who were truly loved by the heavens. Perhaps he had become the emperor all because of Jiang Xi!
For some reason, the emperor had this feeling. This was the first time the emperor had personally experienced God’s favoritism. The princess’s birth was so grand, so how could there be no signs at all? Now, looking at the God who was even favoritism when it snowed, the emperor fell silent. The crown prince and Zhao Panpan did not enjoy God’s favoritism at all. Seeing God’s blatant favoritism and love for Jiang Xi, the emperor’s heart turned cold. If he could not appease Jiang Xi, would the country be destroyed?
It was still snowing heavily, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with a layer of snow. It made creaking sounds when one stepped on it. A large number of civilians were kneeling under the city wall, and many of them were rushing in this direction. At a glance, it was full of human heads.
The phoenix flapped its wings from time to time, then raised its head proudly, “Quack …”
The imperial preceptor’s face turned green. No one understood what the phoenix meant. It had a supreme position in the west, but now it felt like it was a duck. What could he do? What could he do? The imperial preceptor was in despair. He felt that he had gotten into trouble. Really, he only had three years of life left. He reckoned that even if he took out all of it, it would not be enough to make up for it!
“Fat bird, come down.” A crisp voice rang out from below, and a pair of fair little hands waved at phoenix. Jiang Xi’s round face was full of smiles as she looked at phoenix. The beautiful neck of the phoenix stiffened. It turned around, but it couldn’t hear anything. It could not hear anything.
“Fat bird, you’re not being good.” Jiang Xi snorted.
When the phoenix heard that, the feathers on its body trembled and it slid down the city wall along with the wind and snow. Its fat body left a mark on the roof, and the snow was almost pushed down by it.
With a plop, phoenix’s head hit the ground, causing the snow on the ground to rise. The imperial preceptor felt dizzy and his legs went soft.
“You… Are your wings useless? Can’t you fly down?” The imperial preceptor was a little flustered and exasperated. How did this phoenix, who was unparalleled in the sacrificial ceremony, suddenly become so stupid?! What made the imperial preceptor break down even more was that phoenix was running toward Jiang Xi at full speed. It was walking like a duck that was raised at home!
“Even the holy priestess has never seen you so happy before. The holy priestess even worked as your breeder for three years!” The imperial preceptor stomped his feet. When he thought of the priestess, his heart softened again. ‘Sigh, that child, it’s fate. She must be born with a bad life to match with it.’
At this time. the phoenix quickly ran to Jiang Xi and spread its wings. Then. it raised its head and proudly… It blocked the wind and snow.
The imperial preceptor was speechless.
The phoenix was also very stingy. It pushed the emperor and the imperial preceptor to the side, and its wings only covered Jiang Xi’s head. It was a unique kind of favor.
The phoenix’s slender neck was held high. It looked at the few of them from the corner of its eyes arrogantly.
Heh, from the looks of it, one would have thought that the phoenix was very powerful. If it had not used its wings to block the snow for Jiang Xi, most people would have been fooled by the phoenix’s pretentious appearance! The emperor muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to do anything to phoenix. The emperor knew about the phoenix’s background. Even the imperial preceptor could not afford to offend it, let alone a small emperor like him.
“Jiang Xi, I’m here to take you home.” The emperor gathered his courage and smiled warmly. Behind him, Zhao Panpan was still shouting hoarsely, “Father, father save me! Father, I’m your daughter! I’m your long-lost daughter! I’m the Princess! I’m the princess!”
Song Yun laughed so hard that she could not straighten her back. Princess? What a joke!
